I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Those Spirit Stones Are the Deposit
When Yu Hongye heard Liu Changgong’s question, she quickly replied:
“No, I came this time mainly to thank Senior for the kindness of giving me the painting last time.”
“Junior brought some things. The elders in my family specially instructed me to make sure that Senior takes it. I hope Senior won’t refuse.”
After saying that, Yu Hongye handed over another storage bracelet.
In order to take care of Liu Changgong’s habit of not using spiritual energy, Yu Hongye specially prepared a storage bracelet that could be used by mortals.
Liu Changgong briefly looked at the storage bracelet, and he was stunned for a moment.
Inside the storage bracelet, there were dozens of ‘middle-grade spirit stones’ that he was familiar with.
This… Yu Hongye was too polite.
Another spirit stone!
Did the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets rob the mine?
Didn’t spirit stones cost money?
Liu Changgong sucked in a breath of cold air.
This businessman was a businessman from the world of cultivation. She was really f*cking rich.
There was no way to compare.
Previously, Liu Changgong had made a few paintings and written a plaque for the shops in the village. The gold and silver provided by the shops were enough for a mortal to eat and drink for a year.
The gold and silver that Liu Changgong had earned from the village were enough for him to eat and wear for hundreds of years.
This was the privilege of a transmigrator.
Without spiritual energy, he could not cultivate, but he could rely on his own strength and live comfortably.
It was much better than the protagonist in the novels that Liu Changgong read who had no system after transmigrating and was bullied by a bunch of cowards.
After all, he was an elegant person in both the mortal world and the world of cultivators, and he could win the respect of others with his own skills.
Didn’t you see that even Lord Xinghe had to respectfully call him ‘Senior’?
In the past, Liu Changgong thought that the shop was already very rich.
But compared to Yu Hongye, the rich woman in the world of cultivators, it was nothing.
Liu Changgong stopped being polite to Yu Hongye and directly took the storage bracelet.
As a mortal, what was the point of being polite to a cultivator? If he was too polite, people would easily look down on him.
You might as well accept it all at once, and still appear to be very magnanimous.
A gentleman was magnanimous, but a villain was always worried.
‘That’s right, this is it.’
‘This is what a refined and refined person should look like.’
‘So what if I don’t have spiritual power? What I cultivate is the refined sentiment in my heart.’
‘It’s actually the same as a cultivator cultivating the heart first.’
‘Different paths lead to the same destination.’
‘It’s just that I’m only a mortal body, so I can’t have spiritual power like a cultivator. I’m somewhat regretful.’
Seeing Liu Changgong accept the storage bracelet, Yu Hongye was instantly delighted.
The storage bracelet contained some Ancient Immortal Jades that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had collected during the prime time. They were originally meant for Senior Liu.
However, her words just now emphasized that the elders in his family had sent her here. It meant that she represented the entire Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to pay a visit to Senior Liu.
If Senior Liu accepted the Immortal Jade, it meant that Senior Liu accepted the offerings of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and recognized its ability.
From then on, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets officially became an indispensable part of Senior Liu’s chess game.
Thinking of this, Yu Hongye couldn’t help but feel a lot more relaxed.
Yu Hongye pretended to be a little girl and said, “Senior, actually, I have something to ask you this time…”
‘As expected!’
Liu Changgong thought to himself:
‘I guess she’s here to ask for calligraphy and paintings again.’
‘Business people are just different. She quickly understood my hint.’
‘It doesn’t matter. It’s just drawing a painting. It’s a casual matter.’
‘The more the merrier.’
Liu Changgong roared in his heart.
It would be best if he could draw hundreds or thousands of paintings at once.
Then he would be rich!
However, it would only be a short-term fantasy. He wouldn’t really agree to draw hundreds or thousands of paintings.
That wouldn’t guarantee the quality, would it?
Sigh, he was taking advantage of others.
Liu Changgong said straightforwardly, “What is it? Just say it.”
Yu Hongye suddenly blushed.
Liu Changgong was stunned.
‘Why are you blushing?’
Liu Changgong couldn’t ask too many questions, which meant that Yu Hongye took the initiative to say it.
Actually, Yu Hongye was panicking inside at this moment.
‘Why is Senior Liu’s gaze so passionate?’
‘And why did he agree so readily?’
‘Could it be that Senior Liu really took a fancy to me?’
‘Could it be that, just like Second Uncle said, I really have to offer my body?’
‘Could it be that Senior Liu doesn’t think my body is delicate enough…?’
Yu Hongye looked at the corner of her skirt.
Originally, there were only a few ripples in her heart, but at this moment, it turned into a raging wave.
Even as a cultivator, Yu Hongye was like a mortal woman, sweating profusely from embarrassment.
…
Yu Hongye lowered her head and looked at the corner of her skirt.
The corner of her skirt moved with the wind, vaguely reaching her white thighs.
It was white with a tinge of red, and it swayed in the wind.
Ah, so it was because her clothes were too revealing.
It must be because of this.
‘Sigh, I was wondering why a master like Senior Liu would take a fancy to an ordinary woman like me.’
Yu Hongye understood this, and her heart beat even faster.
‘Just seeing my body, could it be that today…’
‘Forget it, I’ll go all out.’
‘Being able to be Senior Liu’s woman is also my luck.’
At this time, Yu Hongye bravely raised her head, and saw that Liu Changgong had already turned around, no longer looking at her.
Yu Hongye was very disappointed.
‘Could it be that I was not proactive enough?’
But the current atmosphere was not suitable for her to take the initiative to offer herself.
Yu Hongye was at a loss.
When it really came to this time, she was actually afraid.
Yu Hongye secretly cursed herself in her heart for not living up to expectations.
Then, she gave up her original idea.
There was still a long way to go, and she was not greedy for a moment of pleasure.
‘Let’s get down to business first.’
Yu Hongye asked in a voice that was as thin as a mosquito’s fly:
“Recently, an Ancient Sword Immortal’s cave abode has been opened in Startling Rainbow Valley. This Junior wants to go there to gain experience. But that place is a little dangerous. This Junior… This Junior is worried that I won’t be able to deal with those big bad guys. May I ask if Senior has any opinions…”
Yu Hongye spoke probingly while carefully observing Senior Liu’s reaction.
If Senior Liu allowed her to go, it meant that Senior Liu agreed to let the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets get involved in this dispute. Then, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would become even more important in Senior Liu’s heart.
If Senior Liu didn’t allow her to go, it meant that Senior Liu had his own plans and didn’t want the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to disrupt his plans. Moreover, it was possible that he was worried about her safety and had already treated her as his woman…
If that was the case, she would be happier and would naturally not look for trouble.
It all depended on Senior Liu’s attitude.
In any case, Senior Liu had already accepted the spirit stones that she had given him.
She did not have to worry about anything.
At worst, she could just stay in the small courtyard and serve Senior Liu as a maid in peace.
When Liu Changgong heard Yu Hongye’s words, he turned around.
The inexplicably shy Yu Hongye made Liu Changgong’s index finger move.
However, he didn’t let his imagination run wild and soon woke up.
Then, he was stunned.
No, why would she ask a mortal ask him about the world of cultivation? He didn’t even have spiritual energy. What could he offer?
Liu Changgong was about to answer when he suddenly realized.
No, there was a profound meaning in Yu Hongye’s words.
She must have known that she was just a mortal, so she naturally didn’t know about the experience in the cave abode. She must have had another meaning.
Could this Ancient Immortal’s cave abode’s experience be a large-scale calligraphy and painting exhibition?
Otherwise, why would she give so many spirit stones as soon as she entered the door?
The spirit stones were a little less than what she gave last time?
Could it be the legendary deposit?
Liu Changgong glanced at Yu Hongye again and noticed that Yu Hongye was very perturbed. Not long after, she shyly avoided his gaze.
Her face was completely red.
‘This little girl is up to no good!’
‘I guessed it right!’
‘Those spirit stones are the deposit!’
