Chapter 11  : The Meister Sisters

“Yes! How much would you like?”

“Give me two.”

Lin Qi’s glanced at the woman in the red dress while he was preparing the sweet potatoes.

The man noticed Lin Qi’s gaze and smiled. During the process of giving money, he said slowly, “Young man, you’re just wasting your time. That woman is far out of your reach!”

That instantly piqued Lin Qi’s interest and he asked, “Sir, do you know her?”

“Who doesn’t know her in this city?”

“Can you tell me about her?” Lin Qi asked curiously.

“Her name is Faye, the eldest daughter of the Meister family and also the vice president of the Meister Chamber of Commerce. That woman’s social skills can be said to be one of the best in the Mill continent. Many young bachelors of noble families spend a lot of money on her because of her beauty, but in the end, they can’t even lay a finger on her.”

The man sighed and shook his head. “Young man, if young masters of the aristocrats have failed then we commoners don’t even need to think about it.”

Hearing that, Lin Qi smiled awkwardly and said helplessly, “I don’t have those kinds of intentions. I was just asking.”

After the old man had left, Lin Qi tapped his chin and thought, ‘If I can get that woman to help me with publicity, those aristocratic young masters would definitely come to my stall.’

‘But, how can I get her to help me?’

Just as Lin Qi was thinking, his gaze started to wander and he noticed a girl walking over to Faye’s side.

That girl seemed to be around the same age as him. She was wearing a uniform from another academy. There was a longsword at her waist. She was very tall, and the most eye-catching part of her was her long and slender legs.

Among all the people there, Lewis wanted to stand out the most, especially in front of those two beautiful ladies. He even loudly proclaimed himself as a grand swordmaster.

However, those surrounding him covered their mouths as they tried to hold back their laughter.

“Young Master Lewis!”

Faye interrupted Lewis’s words and asked simply, “I heard that the three prominent families of New Moon City are here. I’ve already met you, the Leonard family heir and I’ve seen the Yu family heir but… If I recall correctly, there’s also the heir of the Lin family, right? I’ve yet to meet him”

“Oh… You mean that loser!”

Lewis did not hide the disdain in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the food street in the distance. He pointed at Lin Qi, and said, “Look, that’s the young master of the Lin family.”

Faye was the representative of the nobles in that small city. She was tasked to greet the latest batch of young heirs taking part in the trial on behalf of the nobles.

Among all these people, the one that piqued her interest was the Lin family’s heir.

She had long since heard of the young master of the Lin family who was a loafer that neither had a foundation in magic nor practiced martial arts一what a waste of a noble title.

Initially, she had believed it, but what she saw today had broadened her horizons.

The young master of the largest family in New Moon City was actually setting up a stall here?

Faye said to her sister, Eula beside her, “Eula, let’s go and greet him!”

“Huh? Where are we going? That place is filthy. Plus I had not known that the young master of the Lin family was actually like this…”

Faye tried to convince her sister. “But… We have to go and greet him. This is the basic etiquette of nobles!”

Lewis suddenly had an idea to embarrass Lin Qi and immediately said, “Why don’t I take the both of you there?”

“Thank you!”

Lewis was secretly delighted. In addition, he called over a group of people to witness Lin Qi make a fool of himself.

As for Lin Qi, he had just put the sweet potatoes into the oven to bake when he suddenly saw a group of people walking toward him.

‘From the looks of it… Are they going to tear down my stall?’

Before he could react, the first person to come over was Faye, the woman in the red dress. She walked over gracefully and bowed politely. “Excuse me, you are the young master of the Lin family, right?”

Lin Qi was stunned, “That’s right, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing important!”

Lewis walked over again, and a smile appeared on his face, “Come on Lin Qi, let me introduce you. These two are the eldest daughters of the Meister family, Faye, and Eula.”

Lin Qi nodded, “Faye and Eula, you both have beautiful names!”

“Thank you!” Faye responded politely but Eula snorted coldly.

“They are here to greet us, young heirs, on behalf of the local nobles, but I do not think it is necessary for you to greet them.”

Lin Qi rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly. “It would be rude of me not to greet them when they had already come all the way over here just to greet me.”

Lewis walked over slowly and whispered into his ear, “Kid, be careful with your words. Have you seen Eula’s sword? She’s like me, a grand swordmaster. She’s not as easy-going as I am!”

Lin Qi glanced at Eula who was emitting a strong aura. He indeed felt that she had the aura of a grand swordmaster, and it was obvious that she was much stronger than Lewis.

It seemed that she was truly a grand swordmaster.

Nevertheless, what did that have to do with him?

Lin Qi looked back at Faye and nodded slightly. “I understand. You may proceed with the greetings.”

“Good, since everyone is here, why don’t we, the Meister family, do our best to treat everyone to a simple meal!”

Everyone became excited when they heard that. It was an honor to be able to accept the invitation of the Meister family.

However, Lin Qi waved his hand dismissively.

“I won’t be attending. I still have to set up my stall to earn money!”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding became silent. Everyone’s eyes fell on him, and their heads were full of question marks.

Is that guy’s brain fried?

“For goodness sake… Lin Qi, are you addicted to setting up stalls?” Lewis sneered.

Faye was also quite embarrassed. Out of courtesy, she asked, “May I ask, is there something wrong with the Lin family’s economy?”

“There’s no problem at all. I just want to earn some money to buy some things. You won’t understand even if I tell you.”

In an instant, Lin Qi’s words caused a burst of laughter.

“Sister, don’t bother with a guy like him. Hurry up and go eat. I just came back from the Dark Forest so if I don’t eat something soon, my energy will be completely depleted,” Eula said nonchalantly.

When Lin Qi noticed that business opportunity, he immediately took out a Grilled Steak and asked, “You’re… Miss Eula, right? My Grilled Steak can replenish energy. Do you want to try one to fill your stomach?”

Similar to that of a mage, a grand swordmaster like Eula often ran out of energy quickly. Moreover, a swordsman’s recovery time was much longer than a mage’s, so naturally, the stamina-recovering artifacts in the market were even more expensive than the mana-recovering ones.

Lin Qi’s Grilled Steak could recover all the stamina of a swordsman below the rank of a high-leveled one. Simply put, as long as one ate the steak, one’s stamina would instantly recover.

“Try your steak?” Eula asked incredulously.

“Yeah, I guarantee you won’t regret eating it!”
