Gasp—
Gu Ziyu and Gu Ziyao gasped at the sa ti. They looked at Qin Manyun with a look of terror.
Gu Ziyao could no longer keep calm. She asked solemnly, “Are you kidding?”
She was talking about an Immortal!
An existence that was greater than any other in this realm. There had been no cases of Immortalization in a thousand years in this Immortal Realm. So, what concept was that? More importantly, this Immortal woman was willing to serve this man?
How powerful could he be?
“Do you think I’d joke about this?” Qin Manyun looked at Gu Ziyao. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazent and awe. “This man...is way above an Immortal. All you have to know is that all his trash is actually the most precious treasures in the entire Immortal Realm.”
“This...this...” Gu Ziyao’s mind was blown away. Though she was shaking her head as her rationale told her this was impossible, sohow, in the deepest part of her heart, she believed Qin Manyun.
She could not help herself from asking, “The both of you aren’t trying to kid , right?”
“Sister, I swear it’s true!” Gu Ziyu said. “If this ordinary man’s so powerful, getting to speak with him for such a long ti would an that it was the most glorious mont in my life!”
Gu Ziyao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “This is unbelievable! How unbelievable!”
“I wasn’t planning on telling you both about him, but since Ziyu t him, it shows that the expert has a plan involving you. That’s why I told you about him.” Qin Manyun paused for a mont, and said after so hesitation, she said, “Actually...’Journey to the West’ was written by the expert!”
“What?” Gu Ziyu glared at Qin Manyun like a fan who t his idol. He cried with excitent, “He’s Senior Wu Cheng’en?”
“Wu Cheng’en is just his pen na. If you think about it, he gives this opportunity to everyone through the story of ‘Journey to the West’ without even asking for any favors in return. How generous and noble!” Qin Manyun sighed. “I thought ‘Journey to the West’ was a story containing the Wisdom that the expert used to preach to us. But after hearing what you’ve said, I realized that the hidden clues in this story are way beyond that! My understanding was indeed too shallow.”
Confused, Gu Ziyao said, “When I heard what Ziyu said, I was enlightened as well. Who would’ve thought that the story would contain a much deeper aning!”
Qin Manyun looked at Gu Ziyu and said in a serious tone, “The expert will never say things clearly. He has given you so many clues. All of them must have their deeper anings. Why don’t you tell us your entire encounter with the expert from beginning to end? Perhaps we could analyze it better.”
With that, Gu Ziyu imdiately recounted his entire encounter with Li Nianfan. His expression was more solemn this ti as he was now aware of the importance of the matter.
Qin Manyun listened carefully as her mind processed the information rapidly. She could not afford to miss a single word.
When she heard that ‘Journey to the West’ was rely a journal of their vacation, her heart twitched vigorously. At this mont, she felt extrely blessed and took a deep breath.
Phew...
“I think I get it. This is indeed a big, terrifying chess ga!” Qin Manyun said with a complex look, her eyes showing a hint of sadness.
“What is it?” Gu Ziyao frowned.
“The expert said that many things of both ordinary n and cultivators were predetermined since birth, but that isn’t the main point. The main point is the taphor he used,” Qin Manyun said with deep amazent in her eyes. There was a hint of terror and bitterness.
She continued with a trembling voice, “Think about it, Immortals are more powerful than cultivators. Surely there’d be ‘second-generation’ Immortals! We spend our whole lives cultivating for longevity, but the children of Immortals are born as Immortals! So, if everything has been predetermined, what’s the point of working so hard? Do you think he was referring to the bridge to Immortality?”
Qin Manyun was shocked by her own speculation. The mont she heard herself saying that, she felt a cold sweat coming, as if she had just discovered a big secret that would cost her life.
She was overwheld with emotions. ‘So, the expert has told everyone the greatest secret of the Immortal Realm. He truly is playing a chess ga with another force. I’m so lucky to be a chess piece of his. This is my greatest pleasure!’ Qin Manyun thought to herself.
As for Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu, their faces had turned pale. Their heads were about to explode and the thought of impending danger sent chills all over them.
The bridge to Immortality had been broken. This affected them more than anyone else. Their father was a Mahayala cultivator and they would often hear him sighing to himself, as if he could not see any path in front of him.
Gu Ziyu could not help but mumble to himself, “So, what you’re saying is that soone’s stopping us from Immortalizing for the benefit of their children?”
“Enough! That’s enough!” Gu Ziyao’s beautiful eyes glared at Gu Ziyu to stop him. “Ziyu, rember this. Don’t tell anyone about this conversation. Let speak to father. Pretend you heard nothing.”
She then bowed at Qin Manyun formally. “We’d like to make an ambitious request to et the expert. I hope Sister Manyun will introduce us to him.”
Qin Manyun said, “I’ll go back to see how the expert feels about this. I’ll let you know the answer tomorrow.”
Gu Ziyao said with gratitude, “Thank you!”
Qin Manyun smiled. “It’s my pleasure. Don’t worry, since the expert was willing to tell all this to Ziyu, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind eting you both.”
...
Qin Manyun left Azure Ville and rushed to the Immortal Guest House. On the way there, she saw Li Nianfan and Daji shopping among the crowd. Instantly, she found a space to land on and pretended to bump into them.
She smiled. “Oh! Hey, Mr. Li! What a coincidence.”
Li Nianfan smiled at Qin Manyun. “Hello, Miss Manyun. You’re back!”
“Yeah, I just visited a friend of mine,” Qin Manyun nodded. Seeing that Li Nianfan was looking at silk from a shop, she asked, “Mr. Li’s choosing so cloth?”
“That’s right. I’m planning to make Daji so clothes. Unfortunately, the colors are too limited here. I can’t find the one I like.” Li Nianfan sighed. “Never mind.”
Another hint!
How could she forget about the most basic need? What a miss!
Qin Manyun’s lips curved up slightly. She was excited. It was yet another opportunity to impress the expert!
