A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Lin Xiaolin thought for a moment, then sent a location to Qin Lele and the others without saying much. She also sent a copy to Chen Ziliang, but it remained unread.

This is a small teahouse located between Lin Xiaolin and Qin Lele's current positions, and Lin Xiaolin has decided to meet them here.

Lin Xiaolin and Xue Qianqian put away their phones and headed towards the teahouse, with Xiao Lan following behind them, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.

Soon, about half an hour later, Lin Xiaolin and Xue Qianqian arrived at the small teahouse.

The small teahouse is located in a small alley, where many people sit together drinking tea and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Xiao Lan's appearance here was too eye-catching, so Lin Xiaolin took out a Poké Ball and put Xiao Lan back.

"Boss, do you have any private rooms?"

"No more, all the private rooms for this afternoon are booked."

The teahouse owner scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, as Lin Xiaolin took out a thousand Alliance Coins from his pocket and slapped them on the table.

"Brother, there are really no private rooms left, they're all booked."

The boss spoke with a troubled expression and a hint of apology.

Lin Xiaolin took out another two thousand from his pocket. The shopkeeper's eyes widened at the sight of three thousand Alliance Coins. After thinking for a moment, he led the two of them to the second floor of the teahouse.

This small teahouse sells a cup of tea for 5 yuan, and a private room is only 50 yuan for an afternoon. This 3,000 yuan is almost equivalent to his weekly income.

The boss led the two to a small private room on the second floor, opened the door, and showed them the room.

"This was originally my nephew's plan to bring his friends over this afternoon. The private room isn't very big, but if you guys think it's okay, we'll let you use it first."

Lin Xiaolin looked into the private room. The room was small, with only four chairs and a mahjong table, and nothing else.

Without nitpicking, Lin Xiaolin nodded and went inside with Xue Qianqian.

"Get us a few bottles of drinks later, room temperature is fine."

"Okay, what would you like to drink, buddy?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's not bitter."

Lin Xiaolin casually waved her hand and the boss left. Lin Xiaolin glanced at the number of the private room and went inside.

After sending the private room number to Qin Lele and the others, they sat down on a chair to rest.

"Little Scale, what just happened?"

Xue Qianqian moved a stool over and sat down next to Lin Xiaolin, asking anxiously.

“Our plan has been exposed. Yan Fan is in trouble. The others are still unaware of the situation. Qin Lele and Zhuo Xiaole are currently approaching this area.”

"what?"

Xue Qianqian rubbed her hands together anxiously, looking quite flustered.

"It's okay, I've already sent messages to Teacher Xiao and the others, and I believe we'll receive their messages soon."

Lin Xiaolin patted Xue Qianqian's head to comfort her.

After comforting Xue Xixi, Lin Xiaolin took out a Poké Ball and released all the Pokémon except for Xiao Bao.

Chapter 289 The Small Teahouse

The Blue Swaboon sat atop Xue Qianqian's head, curiously looking around, while Jirachi snuggled directly into Lin Xiaolin's arms.

Xiao Tan found a place to sit down and began to cultivate, while Xiao Lan also sat down, closed her eyes, and sensed her surroundings.

When carrying out missions, Swaboon and Jirachi can only be recalled into their Poké Balls, otherwise having a Swaboon on your head and a Jirachi in your arms would be extremely conspicuous.

Not long after, Qin Lele and Zhuo Xiaole, whose whole body was covered by a coat, walked in. Lin Xiaolin smelled a bloody odor.

"Are you injured?"

"Yes, Xiao Le is injured."

As they spoke, the two of them sat down on the bench. Zhuo Xiaole stretched out his right hand, and there was a long, deep scratch on his forearm that revealed the bone. The wound was also covered with small stones and sand.

At this point, the arm above the scratch was tightly bound with a rope to prevent severe bleeding, although the arm was bruised from the rope.

Lin Xiaolin frowned, then went out. When he returned quickly, he had a plastic bag in his hand, containing some medicine he had just bought from a small clinic downstairs.

"Catch her."

Qin Lele and Xue Qianqian immediately understood and stood on either side of Zhuo Xiaole to support her body. Zhuo Xiaole also knew what they were doing and did not resist.

Lin Xiaolin placed the bag on the mahjong table, took out a roll of gauze from it, and had Zhuo Xiaole put it in her mouth.

He took a washbasin out of the plastic bag and placed it on the ground. He then took out Zhuo Xiaole's right arm and examined it. It was at least 20 centimeters long and quite deep. However, the current situation did not allow for professional treatment, so he could only provide emergency care.

By this time, his arms had become somewhat bruised from being tightly bound by ropes for some time.

Lin Xiaolin gently untied the rope, not daring to untie it completely, but as soon as she loosened it a little, blood immediately gushed out of the wound.

Blood slid down his arm and into the washbasin on the floor.

After the bruises on her arm had faded considerably, she tightened the bandage. Lin Xiaolin then took out the saline solution she had just bought, and Qin Lele and Xue Qianqian quickly pressed down on Zhuo Xiaole.

"Well!"

The saline solution was poured directly onto the wound to clean it. Zhuo Xiaole was sweating profusely and her body was trembling involuntarily. Fortunately, Qin Lele and Xue Qianqian helped her to steady herself.

After cleaning the wound, Lin Xiaolin took out iodine and applied it to the wound for disinfection, inevitably eliciting another painful whimper.

After the disinfection was completed, Lin Xiaolin took out another roll of gauze and began to tightly wrap Zhuo Xiaole's forearm. The gauze was very thick, and after tying a knot, Lin Xiaolin straightened up.

"Phew, all done, Sister Xiaolan, you can come now."

Xiao Lan nodded and stepped forward, extending her hands to apply healing energy to the bandage.

Healing fluctuations cannot completely cure such a large wound in one go, but they can alleviate the symptoms and help the wound heal faster. It can be fully healed in a week at most, and even leave no scars.

The emergency measures that Lin Xiaolin used were all learned at school.

Qin Lele and Xue Qianqian released Zhuo Xiaole at this moment. Zhuo Xiaole was now covered in sweat and lying exhausted on the chair.

Qin Lele removed the gauze from her mouth and wiped her sweat, while Xue Qianqian carried the blood-stained saline solution into the toilet.

"Lele, tell me how you guys were just now."

Zhuo Xiaole is definitely unable to speak in her current condition, so Lin Xiaolin can only ask Qin Lele.

"Yeah, Xiao Le and I were just staking out Wang Cheng when he suddenly walked out of his house, got into a taxi, and headed somewhere. Xiao Le and I quickly followed, but we were attacked the moment we stepped out!"

At this point, Qin Lele couldn't help but shudder.

"The attack came from above. Zhuo Xiaole reacted faster than me. She pulled me back, otherwise I wouldn't have survived. Xiaole's arm was also cut by the debris from the explosion at that moment."

"How strong were the people who attacked you? How many of them were there?"

Qin Lele thought for a while before speaking.

"There were three people at first, but the middle one disappeared when they were chasing us. I don't know how strong that person was, but I guess he was the strongest. The other two only had one Lord-level Pokémon each."

Lin Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that there wasn't a potential Heavenly King. One potential Heavenly King was troublesome enough; if another one came along, it would be a real problem.

"Let's wait here for a while and see if Ziliang and Junhao will come. We shouldn't go out for the time being."

Everyone nodded in agreement. With their current strength, if they were to fight those people head-on, they would only face certain death.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, do you know how Yan Fan and the others are doing? I've been sending him messages but he hasn't read them."

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and Qin Lele, who had sent dozens of messages to Yan Fan, asked Lin Xiaolin with concern. Lin Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent for a while before speaking.

“When Ziliang called me earlier, he said they were attacked in the supermarket. Yan Fan was in the supermarket at the time and couldn’t come out with them. They don’t know the details yet, but don’t worry, Yan Fan is tough.”

Lin Xiaolin forced a smile, trying to reassure Qin Lele, but Qin Lele couldn't feel at ease no matter what she did, staring blankly at the chat box on her phone.

------

Soon it got dark and it was around six or seven in the afternoon. Because Lin Xiaolin had specifically instructed the teahouse owner, the owner did not come to disturb them at this time.

Lin Xiaolin opened the door and looked around. It was already lunchtime, and the other private rooms were empty.

Go downstairs and head straight to the bar.

"Boss, please order four boxed meals for us, and also buy us some snacks. We'll probably be staying here all night."

"okay."

The teahouse owner chuckled as he accepted the thousand yuan Lin Xiaolin handed him, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy.

I checked my phone and found that the messages I sent to Chen Ziliang and the others had already been marked as read!

This means that Chen Ziliang and his group are safe and sound, and may even be moving towards them.

"Boss, I need to buy boxed lunches for seven people. I have a friend coming over!"

Lin Xiaolin called out again to the boss who had just walked out.

"okay."

Back in the private room, the waiting began again. Luckily, I brought a lot of cash with me when I came to Qiancheng. I was mainly worried that if I used online payment, the other party might find out immediately.

Soon the teahouse owner brought in a large bag of boxed lunches. No one had an appetite, but they still ate some before absentmindedly playing on their phones.

"coming."

Xiao Lan suddenly opened her eyes and said something, and Lin Xiaolin immediately stood up.
