"Hmph!"
Old Zhou was clearly still a bit unhappy, but since Lin Xiao had said it, he tried his best to cooperate with Xiao Zheng.
After all, it was for his own health.
He picked up his phone and looked closely, seeing a few words.
Lin Xiao is coming.
At this time, without these old guys specially calling him, this fellow coming to the capital...
He put down his phone.
"Xiao Zheng, I have something to do later, so please hurry with the examination."
"No problem."
...
The Capital.
This time Lin Xiao's arrival in the capital was somewhat unexpected to everyone. In previous years, every time Lin Xiao came to the capital, there was always an unavoidable reason. This time, was he specifically coming for those new things in the Northern Territory?
Some people were speculating, while others were too lazy to bother. But no matter who it was, they clearly understood the survival rule when Lin Xiao appeared.
Stay far away from him.
Whether one was on good terms with Lin Xiao or not, trouble always followed.
Staying away from Lin Xiao meant staying away from trouble.
Lin Xiao sat in the car. He had already contacted the Dragon Lord immediately.
On the phone, neither of them said much. In fact, Lin Xiao was a bit silent. However, Lin Xiao knew that the Dragon Lord must know the specific reason for his coming to the capital.
He didn't believe that the Dragon Lord knew nothing about his interactions with the Nangong family in Shashi.
Also, Nangong Wentian would likely explain his situation to the capital.
"General Lin, shall we go to the Dragon Lord's villa first?"
"Yes, to have a cup of tea. The Dragon Lord just said a new batch of tea has arrived," Lin Xiao nodded.
"Yes."
...
Lin Xiao arrived at the Dragon Lord's villa.
To disturb him in the afternoon like this, honestly, it was only because the Dragon Country had suddenly had fewer matters to deal with lately that the Dragon Lord could actually spare this time.
"What, you knew I had new tea early and rushed over before Old Zhou to hog it all?" The Dragon Lord smiled and motioned Lin Xiao to sit by the tea table, pouring him a cup of tea.
"Not many people in this world have the chance to drink tea brewed by you personally, Dragon Lord. I am one of them," Lin Xiao said with a smile, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
"You brat, since when did you learn to talk like that... I have no interest in this tea ceremony. Old Zhou loves it. I should have had Old Zhou come and make tea for you," the Dragon Lord said with a wry smile.
"You old scoundrel, why are you here? Am I only good for making tea?" Old Zhou's voice echoed from the courtyard, and then, accompanied by Xiao Zheng, Old Zhou entered the room.
"Oh, speak of the devil, and he appears," the Dragon Lord pointed at Old Zhou, then quickly went with Lin Xiao to help Old Zhou to the sofa.
Xiao Zheng looked confused. Old Zhou had said he had urgent matters, and he didn't expect it to be coming to the Dragon Lord's place.
"Hmph, I was a prime minister in ancient times. How can you say I'm only good for making tea?" Old Zhou glared at the Dragon Lord.
"Old Zhou, your health is much better. It seems the elixirs are good, and Doctor Zheng is taking good care of you," Lin Xiao's gaze flickered over Xiao Zheng as he said with a smile.
"Of course, I told you, this old man is in excellent health..." Old Zhou waved his hand and then said, "You, you're still helping him change the subject! This old fellow likes to criticize me behind my back."
