“Thanks anyway.”
Li Nianfan was silent for a while before he said, “I’m just an ordinary man so I have nothing much to give in return. My writing pieces are decent so if you don’t mind, I’d like to give this to you.”
He was truly lucky to have great cultivators as friends. Although it was because of his culinary talents and great personality in the first place, they still helped him and backed him up.
Nice! These are real friends!
‘Writing...for us?!’
Boom!
Qin Manyun and the others were thunderstruck. They blanked out because they got too excited and could not function.
Luck!
They were in luck!
Even Immortals from above would envy them!
They were suddenly thankful for Liu Rusheng. They would not have had a chance to impress the expert if it was not for that foolish idiot, right?
What a sacrificial good fella!
Li Nianfan felt awkward because no one replied. Maybe he thought too highly of his writing?
“It’s cool if no one wants it.”
“Me! I want it!” screamed Qin Manyun. She was instantly embarrassed. She did not care about her ladylike impression.
Luo Shiyu did not back down either. She yelled, “I want it, too! Mr. Li, please, give it to me!”
The Holy Emperor and Zhou Dacheng snapped out of it and joined the yelling match. “Mr. Li, me! Pick me!”
They would kill themselves if they lost this rare opportunity just because they were taken aback.
In the end, Zhou Dacheng got the writing. He was overjoyed and had smile lines on his face.
Li Nianfan secretly felt good about their reaction.
Truly a bunch of cultured folks.
It seemed like his talent also impressed the cultivators.
The four of them walked out of the room and carried the half-dead Liu Rusheng on their shoulders.
Qin Manyun said, “Everyone here’s smart. I believe everyone could tell what Mr. Li meant, right?”
“It’s not his first time giving us hints. This hint was so obvious.” The Holy Emperor smiled. “He worried about people seeking revenge. This means the Liu Family will be eliminated!”
Luo Shiyu added on, “True. The Liu Family is nothing in front of Mr. Li. It’d be annoying for flies to target Mr. Li and ruin his ordinary-man experience. We can’t simply carry out the task. We must kill them all and leave no one alive. A clean job!”
Everyone spoke as if Liu Rusheng was not there. They did not care about the Liu Family. The Liu Family members were like fishes on their chopping board. They were ready to kill them all.
Liu Rusheng could not believe his ears. He was terrified.
He said, “Do you guys know what the hell you’re talking about? How can you kill the Liu Family?”
“The Liu Family are insects to us. Do you know who we’re working for? We’re working for the expert!” sneered Zhou Dacheng. Then, he said, “Oh yeah, almost forgot. Time for you to die.”
“You’re going to kill me?” Liu Rusheng was finally afraid. He desperately asked in a trembling voice, “Who the hell is he? Why are you all acting like this? Tell me, please! Let me die with clarity!”
“You don’t deserve to know who he is! Ignorance is bliss. Remember to be a good person in the next life, reckless idiot!” sneered the Holy Emperor.
He waved his hand and a fiery snake came out and burned Liu Rusheng to ashes!
Qin Manyun said, “Let’s go. We have to finish our mission in the shortest time possible since it’s the expert’s assignment. Rest in peace to the Liu Family! Let’s go convince the Lord of Azure Ville to help us.”
“Sigh, Azure Ville has no chance of impressing the expert if my Sect Master’s here, right?” said Zhou Dacheng as he sighed.
Qin Manyun said, “The expert already befriended the son and daughter of Azure Ville’s Lord. I think he saw it coming. What impressive planning from the expert.”
The Holy Emperor suddenly said, “Before all that, why don’t we discuss how we should split the expert’s writing piece?”
Zhou Dacheng acted confused and innocent, “Writing? What writing? You must be hallucinating. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
The Holy Emperor was pissed off. “Stop messing around. The expert gave the writing to us. I suggest we take turns and we can switch the writing piece between us each month! How about it?”
...
At the Azure Ville.
There were dozens of small towers among the green fields and trees. There was a river with a stone staircase nearby which led to a drawbridge that was connected to a golden palace.
Gu Ziyu and Gu Ziyao were in the main hall of the palace, next to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wore an azure robe and had a squarish face. He was handsome and had carefree vibes. This man was the Lord of Azure Ville, Gu Changqing.
He looked at the siblings and asked while smiling, “You two were yelling at me to come here. What do you want?”
Gu Ziyu was excited. “Dad, you did well on casting the Demon Lockdown Spell. My sister and I prepared something nice for you as a reward!”
Gu Changqing laughed out loud. “Oh? How nice. What is it?”
“Recently, we ran into an expert. This stuff is the best. I promise it’ll surprise you,” said Gu Ziyu mysteriously.
Gu Changqing shook his head. “Alright, stop teasing me. What is it exactly?”
“Look closely. This is it!”
Gu Ziyu reached out with a smile. Gu Changqing saw a piece of white steamed bread. He was stumped.
“Is this... steamed bread?”
Gu Changqing was perplexed. He looked at Gu Ziyu and said, “It indeed surprises me. Getting shameless, huh? Want to get a beating?”
Gu Ziyu hurriedly said, “Dad, this isn’t normal steamed bread. Just try it and you’ll know.”
“If I try it, I’d look like a fool!” Gu Changqing shook his head and said, “You’re insulting your father! I worked so hard for the demon entrance sealing and this is what you give me?”
Gu Ziyao chimed in, “Dad, this steamed bread is extraordinary. We got it from an expert. Just try it.”
Gu Changqing said in a serious tone, “Ziyao, why are you joining in on this prank, too? Is there anyone better than your father in the entire Immortal Realm? I’m not trying to brag, but I can get any kind of delicacy whenever I want.”
Gu Ziyu said without thinking twice, “Dad, quit flexing. We had the most luxurious meal ever with the expert. It was unimaginable. This is what we took away from that meal.”
“This steamed bread is leftover food?”
Gu Changqing looked worse. He sighed, “How did I raise two ungrateful brats?!”
