210 I’m Not Worth It
He did not quite believe that Jian Qingqing really had a way to help him. He only took it as Jian Qingqing’s words to cheer him up.
Jian Qingqing knew that he did not take it seriously when she saw his expression. She pinched her waist and said fiercely, “You don’t believe me, do you? You’ll cry and thank me when I tell you!”
Lin Zhiqing looked at her in surprise and said in disbelief, “You really have a way? You’re not fooling me?!”
Jian Qingqing raised her chin slightly, nodded, and said proudly, “Of course! If you know it, you’ll definitely admire my wisdom! From now on, you’ll be convinced by my great glory!”
Seeing that she really did not look like she was lying, Lin Zhiqing focused his attention. He was afraid that she really did something bad, so he asked seriously, “What did you do?”
Jian Qingqing felt that if she did not say it now, she might be in trouble, she immediately said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just have a recipe for making fine salt. I’ll give it to Brother Ming. When the time comes, tell him that you found it and use your name to report it. You’ll be fine after you make up for it.”
After hearing that, Lin Zhiqing was silent for a long time, then, he said in a hoarse voice, “Qingqing, I’m not worth you sacrificing so much. I’ve never been a good person. You also said that I’m not important to this extent. If it weren’t for my mother, perhaps we would just be two strangers who met by chance.”
“And this formula can make your life a hundred times better than it is now. It can give you a great status. Even with that person’s protection, it can be said that no one in Great Wei dares to provoke you. It’s really not worth it for me. Hurry up and tell Master Ming that I don’t want you to save me. Tell him who invented the formula and whose name it is.”
As soon as she mentioned the recipe for fine salt, Lin Zhiqing knew what it was. Last year, a child went to his private salt store in Shifeng County to sell fine salt. At that time, the child said that he was a servant of a rich family and asked for the price of the salt, but after that, he never saw the child again, nor did he see anyone selling fine salt.
It was as if this person had never appeared. Now that he thought about it, the child should be the girl in front of him. No one would have thought that the recipe for making fine salt was made by this girl. Everyone was fooled by her.
He had seen and tasted the fine salt. There was still some of it with him. He knew what it looked like and how important it was. The salt was as white as snow. It could be said that its appearance was enough to make the world go crazy. He believed that the person at the top would definitely satisfy Jian Qingqing’s request. The world would also remember her and be grateful to her. Therefore, he was really not important enough to make Jian Qingqing give up such a great honor.
Jian Qingqing said seriously, “Those are just worldly things to me. Whether it’s honor or reward, they are things that I don’t bring with me when I’m alive or when I’m dead. In my opinion, they are far less important than my friends. Moreover, I believe that my ability is not limited to this. I can fight for everything I want without relying on this formula. I can even obtain greater honor and status than this.”
Lin Zhiqing looked at her confident and determined face, as if it was shining. He seemed to have seen her limitless future, and he was stunned for a moment.
He had met many people, but no matter men or women, there had never been anyone who gave him such a strong and shocking feeling. To put it bluntly, Jian Qingqing was like a natural king, it made people ignore her gender and age.
However, because of this, he could not accept all of this with peace of mind. These honors, even if they were just icing on the cake, could only belong to her.
