Lin Mufeng and Lin Ching-yun rubbed their eyes at the same time. Then, they widened their eyes.
Ouch!
Weren't these the 16 supreme-grade spiritual herbs that they had given away?!
Were they … planted?
Their hearts were in turmoil. Their minds went blank, and they almost lost the ability to think.
They had thought of countless possibilities, but they never thought that the spiritual herbs that they had given away would be planted by Young Master Li.
Moreover, looking at the growth of these spiritual herbs, they were much better than when they were given away!
Looking at these familiar yet strange spiritual herbs, Lin Mufeng's expression was extremely complicated.
Big shot!
He was indeed a big shot!
He actually planted supreme-grade spiritual herbs as his own bonsai. If others saw this, they would probably go crazy on the spot.
"Phew …"
Lin Mufeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He forced himself to look away from these spiritual herbs and divert his attention.
The rockery looked good. It seemed to be carved out of translucent jade. The shape was beautiful and unique. It was indeed a rare ornament.
Eh?
Why were there water droplets in the middle of the rockery?
Lin Mufeng was stunned at first. Then, his expression changed and he gasped.
Gasp —
Thousand-Year Black Ice?!
Then, wasn't this rockery … Thousand-Year Black Ice?!
This, this, this …
He felt his heart trembling. This was Thousand-Year Black Ice, the most precious treasure of the Linxian Palace. He had given it to an expert and made it into a decoration?
If that was the case, it was already an honor for his supreme-grade spiritual herbs to be used as bonsai.
As for Xiao Bai, who was watering the bonsai, it must be the Weapon Spirit that his daughter had mentioned.
Suddenly, Lin Mufeng could not help but feel sad. He felt ashamed of his own inferiority.
This yard was so high-end. He really should not be here. He did not deserve to be here …
"Both of you, please take a seat," Daji's voice pulled Lin Mufeng and Lin Ching-yun back to reality.
Lin Mufeng hurriedly collected his thoughts and said awkwardly, "I was rude just now. May I ask Miss Daji if Young Master Li is at home?"
Daji nodded. "He's in the backyard. Take a seat first."
Only then did the two of them carefully sit down and curl up their bodies.
Daji did not pay any attention to him. Instead, she stared blankly at the stone table in front of her. There was a chessboard on the stone table, and within the chessboard was a chess game!
He didn't expect Miss Daji to be so good at chess.
Lin Mufeng looked at the chessboard curiously. "This is …"
His pupils suddenly shrank as if his soul had left his body. His entire body trembled.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces intertwined and entangled with each other. From being still to moving, they gradually moved. In a moment, they turned into black and white Qi and fought in Lin Mufeng's mind.
This was obviously an endgame. The black stones had the upper hand, and the white stones could only flee.
If it was just an ordinary chess game, it would be fine. However, here, the black and white stones represented two opposing ideologies. The two sides were like fire and water.
Since their paths were different, they could not work together!
Lin Mufeng's eyes gradually turned red. He was deeply immersed in the chess game. It was as if his own path had been attacked, but he was powerless to fight back.
He tried hard to find a way to break out of the game, but he found that everywhere was a dead end.
Was his path … wrong?
His face turned pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, Daji held a white piece and slowly placed it on a certain position on the chessboard.
Buzz!
It was as if a stone was thrown into a calm water surface. Layers of ripples spread out.
Lin Mufeng's mind suddenly became clear, as if he had been enlightened. The originally weak white Qi suddenly grew stronger, and he found a trace of vitality in it!
His eyes suddenly blinked, but he recovered from the state he had just been in.
It seemed like only a moment had passed, but he was already sweating profusely.
Lin Mufeng looked at Daji and quickly stood up. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Miss Daji, for your guidance. I will never forget it!"
This game of chess allowed him to have a clearer understanding of his own path. It was no less than an opportunity.
"This is a chess game set up by Master. You just happened to be there at the right time." Daji said casually. Then, she looked at Lin Mufeng and said seriously, "If you can help Master properly, this opportunity is just something that can be easily obtained. Otherwise, just wait for your soul to scatter!"
Lin Mufeng quickly said, "Miss Daji, you must be joking. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to Young Master Li."
"That better be the case." Daji nodded, then said, "Alright, quickly return to your seat and act normal. My Master doesn't like to make a fuss."
"I understand, I understand."
Lin Mufeng nodded repeatedly. Lin Ching-yun had specifically told him about this.
"Creak!"
At this moment, Li Nianfan walked in from the backyard with a few mushrooms in his hand.
"Oh, guests?"
"Young Master Li." Lin Mufeng and Lin Ching-yun quickly stood up.
Lin Mufeng said respectfully, "I am Lin Ching-yun's father. I came uninvited. Young Master Li, please don't blame me."
"It's okay. Look at how beautiful the bonsai in this yard is. It's all thanks to you." Li Nianfan said with a smile, "By the way, are you satisfied with the tea leaves I gave you last time?"
Young Master Li knew that I relied on the tea leaves to make a breakthrough.
Lin Mufeng quickly said, "Yes, I'm very satisfied!"
"It's good that you like it." Li Nianfan nodded and said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, go and prepare these mushrooms. We'll make a mushroom stew for lunch today."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Bai responded and began to work.
Lin Mufeng saw the opportunity and took out a black wooden box. He handed it to Li Nianfan and said, "This is my first visit. Please accept this small gift, Young Master Li."
"You guys are too courteous." Li Nianfan couldn't help but shake his head. Cultured people are cultured people. They place too much emphasis on etiquette. It seems that they never come empty-handed.
He took the box from Lin Mufeng's hand. After opening it, he saw that there was a crystal ball inside.
This crystal ball was no different from the crystal balls Li Nianfan saw in the gift shop in his previous life. It was just enough to hold.
His eyes showed a look of interest. He took out the crystal ball and examined it in front of him.
He saw that the crystal ball lit up slightly. It was like a movie, and an image flashed in it.
It was a white-haired old man. He had white hair and a youthful face. He had the air of an immortal. His body was surrounded by multicolored light. His hands were forming a seal as if he was casting some kind of spell. Gradually, a red flame rose around him. Not long after, the flame turned into a fire sparrow. It looked up to the sky and let out a long cry.
Daji's face froze slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
As for Lin Ching-yun, her pupils suddenly shrank. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.
"This … this is the Imparting Sarira?!"
