After bidding farewell to the scholar, Qin Manyun's face was full of awe.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.
Perhaps, Sun Wukong's ending was already predestined. From the very beginning, "Journey to the West" was a conspiracy. It could also be seen as a game between many powerful figures.
From the beginning of the story, Sun Wukong's appearance seemed to be very impressive. He was covered in colorful light, and even heaven and earth had to celebrate. He was worthy of being called the protagonist of heaven and earth.
However, reality proved that the so-called protagonist of heaven and earth was simply a joke. There was never a protagonist in this world. There were only those hidden behind the scenes!
Regardless of whether it was the scholar or Luo Shiyu, they all called that expert Young Master Li.
Obviously, this Young Master Li was one of the big shots in the game of chess!
And the cultivation world was probably just an insignificant corner of the chessboard.
Qin Manyun's eyebrows gradually flashed with determination!
It was rare for such a big shot to be willing to descend to the mortal world. If she still couldn't seize this opportunity, then she deserved to have no fate with the Dao of Immortality!
If she angered Young Master Li, at worst, she would die. Wasn't what cultivators of her generation fought for?
"Shiyu, I'm going to pay a visit to Young Master Li tomorrow!" Qin Manyun said solemnly. She bowed to Luo Shiyu and said, "Please introduce me to him."
For an immortal like Young Master Li, if she rashly went to disturb him, she would definitely be disliked. Having someone to introduce her to him would at least improve his impression of her.
"This … Alright." Luo Shiyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She hadn't paid a visit to Young Master Li for a while.
At the moment when she broke through to the Golden Core Stage, she didn't know why, but the person she wanted to tell the most was Young Master Li. However, she was afraid of disturbing him, so she restrained herself until now.
The next day, Luo Shiyu took Qin Manyun to the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain.
Although there were no taboos on this mountain, in order to show respect to Young Master Li, whether it was Bai Wuchen or Emperor Luo, they would all consciously climb up from the foot of the mountain step by step!
It would eliminate any possibility of offending the expert!
In this regard, Qin Manyun agreed wholeheartedly.
"Sister Manyun, you have to remember that the expert is living in seclusion here as a mortal. You have to stay calm. Young Master Li hates it when people are startled in front of him, especially when it comes to cultivation!" Luo Shiyu had been emphasizing this point along the way.
Qin Manyun nodded solemnly. "I understand."
Not long after, a quaint courtyard house appeared in front of them.
Qin Manyun's beautiful eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a needle and thread. Her delicate body trembled and froze on the spot.
She stared at the couplet hanging at the door as if she saw an immortal standing in front of her eyes.
An ethereal aura pressed down on her, making her feel suffocated.
"Aiya, Sister Manyun, wake up!" Luo Shiyu quickly woke Qin Manyun up. "You can't be like this. You have to act as if nothing happened, okay? Just pretend that you've come to a mortal's house."
Qin Manyun calmed herself down and nodded with difficulty.
"Was this written by Young Master Li?" She asked with a trembling voice.
"That's right." Luo Shiyu's eyes had a trace of reminiscence. "I remember that Young Master Li said that there were more and more guests recently, so he wrote this couplet to act as a front."
Act as a front?
Qin Manyun's scalp tingled. This couplet was a treasure of a sect no matter where it was placed. However, in Young Master Li's eyes, it was just a front.
Was this the world of a big shot?
No!
Young Master Li's goal was definitely not just this. There must be a deeper meaning behind the actions of an expert!
Qin Manyun's heart skipped a beat and she fell into deep thought.
Young Master Li said that there were more and more guests recently. It was very likely that he had already predicted that there would be some people coming to visit in the future!
Why did he write this couplet to act as a front? It was because he wanted to intimidate the younger generation!
If one of the guests turned out to be an idiot and spoke rudely, it would definitely affect Young Master Li's mood. Therefore, he had specially written this couplet so that the guests would not dare to be disrespectful!
He was indeed a big shot!
Qin Manyun became even more respectful and bowed towards the couplet.
At this moment, Li Nianfan was playing chess with Daji.
To be more precise, Li Nianfan was teaching her how to play chess.
It was undeniable that Daji's chess skills were terrible. She needed Li Nianfan's guidance for almost every move she made. Otherwise, the game would have ended as soon as it started.
Daji stole a glance at Li Nianfan. She held a white piece in her hand and forced herself to ask, "Erm … should I make this move?"
"Sigh …"
Li Nianfan shook his head and sighed, "Then if I place my piece here, wouldn't the game be over?"
Daji bit her lip and lowered her head in shame.
Young Master Li must be very disappointed in her. He had been teaching her for a few days, but she still lost herself in the game.
She was filled with panic. Would Young Master Li abandon her because of her poor understanding?
Li Nianfan put away the piece in his hand and muttered to himself.
Daji didn't even dare to breathe. She was like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for her parents to judge her.
Her chess skills were far inferior to Daji's. Although playing chess was good for improving one's chess skills, it was under the condition that their chess skills were similar. If the difference in skill was too great, then it wouldn't work.
Li Nianfan came up with a solution and said with a smile, "How about this? I'll set up some chess games for you in the future so that you can practice. I think it should be helpful."
"Yes, yes. Young Master Li, I will definitely work hard!" Daji felt as if she had been pardoned. She nodded her head repeatedly, her eyes red.
As long as he didn't chase her away, it was fine. She had to work harder in the future. If her understanding wasn't good enough, then she had to work harder. She couldn't let Young Master Li down!
Li Nianfan felt a little sorry for her when he saw how careful she was.
He didn't want to give Daji so much pressure, but he and Daji lived here alone. It was really boring if they didn't find something to do. He could only let this little girl suffer.
At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside the door. "Is Young Master Li home?"
Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback, then said, "Xiao Bai, open the door!"
Xiao Bai immediately went over.
"Creak."
The door opened.
Xiao Bai said in a very gentlemanly manner, "Welcome, two beautiful ladies."
"Hello, Xiao Bai." Luo Shiyu greeted Xiao Bai with a smile.
Qin Manyun forcefully controlled her expression and made her smile as natural as possible.
Artifact Spirit!
It really was an artifact spirit!
Furthermore, it lived on a humanoid weapon. If it was covered in a layer of human skin, it would probably be no different from a real person!
This kind of artifact spirit was definitely the pinnacle of existence.
Although she had heard Luo Shiyu mention it before, she still couldn't control her emotions when she saw it with her own eyes.
Luo Shiyu brought Qin Manyun over and introduced, "Young Master Li, Miss Daji, this is my friend, Qin Manyun."
"Manyun greets Young Master Li and Miss Daji." Qin Manyun immediately bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan.
She couldn't help but glance at the chessboard from the corner of her eyes. Her heart suddenly trembled.
She had just finished discussing the Heaven and Earth chessboard with that scholar yesterday, and now she had bumped into Young Master Li playing chess here. Could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Obviously not!
Young Master Li had most likely calculated everything. Even her arrival was within his control. This was clearly a warning to her!
Looking at the chessboard again, the words "Heaven and Earth" were printed on it!
Buzz!
Qin Manyun's mind went blank, and a chill rushed to the top of her head.
