"Hiss —"
"Please, stop hissing. Are you done yet?!" Pei An's scalp went numb, and he suppressed his anger. "Calm down, calm down! Do you want to perish together with me? "
Gu Yuan hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, the main thing is that this news is too shocking. We really couldn't hold it in."
"Grandmaster, I think what you said is wrong."
Gu Changqing suddenly opened his mouth, and his eyes shone with a thoughtful light. He pondered for a moment and continued, "Have you forgotten the existence of the expert? Whether it's the siheyuan or this entire world, their growth should all be the work of the expert! "
Pei An and Gu Yuan looked at each other at the same time, then nodded.
"What you said makes sense."
"That should be it."
At this moment, Li Nianfan stood up with a sound, and said with a smile, "It's done!"
Huo Feng's eyes lit up slightly, and she instantly transformed into her human form, landing beside Li Nianfan. She said with anticipation, "Let me see."
In Li Nianfan's hand, there was a lifelike phoenix. It was dark red in color, and it was the size of a palm. It had its head held high, and regardless of its posture or appearance, it was exactly the same as Huo Feng just now.
In addition to its appearance, it seemed that even Huo Feng's eyes were carved, and it was extremely lifelike. Imperceptibly, waves of aura came from the statue, and if one stared at it, it really seemed like it was alive.
Li Nianfan was still very confident in his carving skills, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"It's … It's too beautiful." Huo Feng held the statue, and for a moment, she was a little dazed. The love on her face could not be concealed at all. This statue seemed to be made for her, and there was an inseparable feeling.
She was very satisfied, and carefully held it in her hands, constantly wiping it.
She could not help but murmur, "Young … Young Master, your carving is too good."
Li Nianfan smiled modestly, "As long as you like it."
"I'm very satisfied with this statue. In the future, you can …"
Huo Feng paused. She really wanted to use this opportunity to improve her relationship with the expert. Initially, she wanted to say, "Ride me," but she felt that it would be too fast. It didn't sound like something a phoenix would say to a mortal. She then changed her words, "You can make a request of me."
In order to cooperate with the expert, it's really difficult for me.
Looking at the yard full of dogs, mortals, lighters, and so on, it wasn't easy for everyone!
"Really?" Li Nianfan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Thank you in advance!"
When it was time to hug someone's thigh, he would hug it decisively. If he was polite, he would be a fool.
Daji, who was standing at the side, looked at the phoenix sculpture with envy in her eyes. "Sir, can you help me carve one too? I … I really want it too. "
"Hahaha, no problem! I'll make it up to you tomorrow! " Li Nianfan reached out his hand and patted Daji's head. "If little Daji wants it, I'll give it to her no matter what."
Daji squinted her eyes and enjoyed it. She was overjoyed. "Hehe, thank you, Young Master."
After that, Li Nianfan walked towards Gu Changqing and the other two.
Seeing Li Nianfan walking towards them, the three of them tensed up and stood up cautiously.
"Sit, everyone sit. Why are you being so polite?" Li Nianfan showed an easy-going smile, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, that phoenix is easy to talk to. Don't be too nervous."
'Easy to talk to phoenix?
That's only relative to you. '
Gu Changqing and the other two's mouths twitched, and they quickly said, "It's my first time meeting the legendary phoenix. I've lost my composure, really."
Li Nianfan smiled and asked curiously, "Old Gu, these two are …"
Gu Changqing introduced, "Young Master Li, this is my grandfather, Gu Yuan. And this is my Ancestral Master, who is also the first Valley Master of Azure Valley, Pei An."
'Grandfather?
Ancestral Master? '
Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback.
He said in surprise, "Old Gu, then are they … Immortals?"
Gu Changqing nodded. "To be honest, Young Master Li, they just descended from the Immortal Realm to the mortal realm not long ago."
"They really are Immortals!" Li Nianfan was shocked beyond words. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands. "Excuse me, excuse me!"
Gu Yuan and Pei An also stood up and returned the greeting. "Young Master Li, you're too polite. Immortals are just a nicer name. They're just immortal cultivators with higher cultivation."
These were Immortals, incomparably sacred existences in his previous life. It was really surreal for them to appear in front of him like this.
Fortunately, he met the phoenix first, so he was very calm and did not lose his composure.
Immortal cultivators were awesome. Grandmasters, grandfathers, grandsons, and great-grandsons could all live at the same time. It was really messy.
However, he now had a lifespan of a thousand years. If he made a baby with Daji now, then a thousand years later … Aiya, he did not want to think about it, it would be embarrassing …
Speaking of which, even if they became Immortals, they could still be so friendly. This family's character was really good.
Li Nianfan's thoughts flew for a while, and he said sincerely, "To be able to ascend, it's really enviable."
Pei An and the other two did not speak, mainly because they could not answer.
Who was the enviable one? You have to be clear. 56
"Oh right, you didn't have to bring gifts. There are so many chickens, you're too polite." As he spoke, Li Nianfan looked in the direction of the flock of Fire Sparrows.
Suddenly, the Fire Sparrows straightened their bodies, as if they were being inspected. At the same time, they raised their buttocks, and with a "pu" sound, eggs fell from their buttocks one after another, neatly arranged in six rows.
Looking at the six obedient chickens that laid eggs, Gu Changqing and the other two could not help but feel complicated.
The arrogant Fire Sparrows were still beaten by society in the end. They were reduced to lapdogs and willingly became chickens.
Pei An smiled and said, "Young Master Li, it's just some chickens, it's nothing. I thought that just one chicken wouldn't be enough, so I took the initiative to send five more. I hope you don't mind."
"Old Pei, you're too polite." Li Nianfan opened his mouth and said, "To be honest, one chicken really isn't enough. Look at that chicken, it's been laying eggs so frequently recently that it's lost a lot of weight. You're really considerate."
Pei An was overjoyed and said with a smile, "As long as Young Master Li likes it."
Li Nianfan shook his head and suddenly changed the topic, "However, I'm just a mere mortal. What have I done to deserve this? Is there something wrong? "
He was indeed a bit confused. It was fine if cultivators came to visit because he was on good terms with them. However, it was strange that a cultivator's grandfather and ancestor came to visit together. Moreover, they were immortals who had descended to the mortal world.
Could it be that they admired his talent too? That shouldn't be too exaggerated. After all, they were immortals.
Could it be that they came because they heard there was delicious food here? That shouldn't be the case.
Li Nianfan only asked casually, but in Pei An and the other two's ears, it was like thunder. Their minds buzzed and went blank. They were almost scared silly on the spot.
"What do we do? What should we do? "
In an instant, their backs were completely soaked in cold sweat. Their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
They had miscalculated. They had miscalculated!
Because they were too excited and couldn't wait to visit the expert, they didn't think of a proper reason to visit.
They couldn't tell him that they knew he was a hidden expert and purposely came to freeload.
He guessed that the expert would slap him to death before he could even finish his sentence.
Since the expert liked to pretend to be a mortal, if they didn't disturb the expert's cultivation by coming here, what else could it be? The expert was definitely angry.
It was such a simple question, but it involved a test of life and death!
Being with the expert was like being with a tiger. It was really scary.
Pei An and the other two held their breaths. Their brains were spinning rapidly. They wanted to burn all their potential and come up with a solution.
Think, think quickly!
Their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. At this moment, Pei An's body trembled. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He gritted his teeth. Fight!
He said respectfully, "Young Master Li, actually, we came here because of 'Journey to the West' and the Golden Crow Painting."
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat. "Oh?"
Pei An organized his words and said, "To be honest, the 'Journey to the West' narrated by Young Master Li is really fascinating. Especially the magical treasures of various deities and monsters. It enlightened us as if we saw a whole new world. As for the Golden Crow, I heard about it in an ancient ruin. That's why I wanted to visit."
Since the expert had told them about it, it meant that he didn't mind it. Pei An used this as an opportunity. At least the expert wouldn't be offended.
"I see." Li Nianfan nodded and fell silent.
He didn't expect that even an Immortal would become his fan.
However, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
If there was a phoenix in the Immortal Realm, then there might have been a Golden Crow. The stories he told were fictional in his previous life. However, in this world, they were true stories of Immortals. Regardless of whether they were true or not, they would definitely attract the attention of the Immortals.
He had messed up!
Initially, he wanted to keep a low profile and live a peaceful life. He didn't want to be disturbed by a story, did he?
Li Nianfan couldn't help but look at Huo Feng. He relaxed a little.
He said, "Old Pei, those are just stories. They're fictional. You can't treat them as real."
Pei An continued, "After hearing this story, I was really shocked. Young Master Li may be an ordinary person, but your talent is incomparable."
"Old Pei, you flatter me," Li Nianfan said humbly. He cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Please keep this a secret for me, Old Pei."
Pei An said, "Young Master Li, don't worry. Everyone only knows that 'Journey to the West' was written by an extraordinary person called Wu Chengen. As for the Golden Crow Painting, only a few of us know about it. We won't gossip!"
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan nodded in agreement. "That's right. We won't tell anyone either!"
This was something the expert had instructed. They wouldn't tell anyone about it even if they were beaten to death!
"That's good. That's good." Li Nianfan smiled. Then, he said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, quickly add some tea for the guests and get some fruits."
Pei An and the other two were overjoyed. They let out a long sigh of relief.
Phew —
We passed!
And it seems like the expert is very satisfied with our answers!
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan were really impressed by their ancestor. He was indeed an old man who had lived for more than ten thousand years. Such quick thinking was not simple at all.
If it were them, they might have knelt down and begged the expert to spare their lives.
