“Senior Sister, this guy is dumb. They actually asked a dumb guy to deliver the letter!” Ning Qing imdiately jumped up from her chair to complain when she saw Li Yuanzhu coming in.
“I’m afraid a normal person will beco mute when eting you!” This was all Li Yuanzhu could say.
Normal people tended to talk less as they got older. For Ning Qing, it was just the opposite.
As a matter of fact, Ning Qing was more lovable when she was young.
“May I know, are you Priestess Li Yuanzhu?” Shi Jingtian asked. He had confird her identity with one look as she looked exactly like what the rumors had described.
He couldn’t help thinking, If all the won in the world were like her, it would be good! At least it wouldn’t be so vexing.
“Yes, I am. Please be seated. Master, how may I address you?” Her smile made Shi Jingtian relax.
This was the first ti he felt so comfortable facing a woman.
Usually, it was like facing a tiger.
Since he was talented and not bad looking, many won gathered around him every day, which was unbearable.
“I’m Shi Jingtian. I’m not worthy of being addressed as master.” Shi Jingtian cupped his hands in salute and then presented the letter, saying, “This is the letter.”
“So you are Master Shi. You are young, well cultivated, and very talented.” Li Yuanzhu praised him.
Shi Jingtian was shocked that she could sense his background when he didn’t divulge anything. However, this was only to be expected as even his teacher was no match for the gorgeous woman in front of him.
Ning Qing ran forward to snatch the letter and gave it to Li Yuanzhu.
Li Yuanzhu said with a smile, “Who asked you to send this letter? How is he related to you?”
“It’s His Highness, Zhao Prince Consort!” Shi Jingtian answered frankly. Ren Baqian had told him before that there was no need to hide the fact that Li Fu was in Lan City. Furthermore, Lan City was stated as the eting place in the letter. People would be suspicious if this wasn’t openly known.
“So, it’s Zhao Prince Consort of Dayao.” Li Yuanzhu pondered and sounded surprised.
“Oh, is it that gigolo?” Ning Qing responded.
“Ning Qing!” Li Yuanzhu’s face changed, and Ning Qing was frightened.
She quickly added, “I was spouting nonsense—just ignore .”
“Why is that elder in Dayao? What’s he doing there?” Li Yuanzhu asked.
“I do not know. You will probably find out after reading the letter,” Shi Jingtian said.
Li Yuanzhu opened the letter and frowned after browsing it as the contents were strange.
Foreign races? Stage a coback? Very powerful? What did it an?
“The writing is ugly!” Ning Qing exclaid after seeing the letter from behind.
Li Yuanzhu didn’t scold her this ti. She cared about the aning of the words, not whether the writing was beautiful or ugly. Every word was painted as a mountain, and the number of words was the sa as the number of mountains.
“There’s also the sll of a woman!” Ning Qing sniffed and comnted.
This letter was written by the empress.
The words written by such an expert were full of spirit. Even if Ren Baqian were to forge it, an expert could see that it wasn’t authentic.
After the empress stated this point, Ren Baqian imdiately thought of getting the empress to write it.
It would be fun to trick that woman and help Ren Baqian at the sa ti.
Although the empress wasn’t Li Fu, she was the fourth most powerful expert in the world and also a ruler. If the words were written with spirit and if the reader hadn’t previously seen the handwriting of the two people, the reader might think that it was written by the world’s number one expert.
It consisted of only dozens of words, but Li Yuanzhu spent the ti it took to drink a cup of tea before she put down the letter and exclaid, “Nice handwriting!”
Ning Qing was already bewildered by the contents of the letter and widened her eyes upon hearing this.
“Nice handwriting?” she asked.
“I have already told you to cultivate more. Your level is too low, and you will not understand this.” Li Yuanzhu shook her head.
Then, she asked, “Does Master Shi know the aning of the contents of the letter?”
“No.”
“Is that person in Lan City? Can you tell about his situation now?” Li Yuanzhu asked.
She felt that the contents of the letter were strange, but she was reminded of what she accidentally heard from Xu Gongsou.
At that ti, Xu Gongsou didn’t say it clearly. In fact, he also didn’t really understand, but he said that the history of the human race included a huge secret.
When Li Yuanzhu saw this letter, the first thing she wanted to confirm was whether this letter was written by Li Fu. Only two people in this world could have written it, Li Fu and Qi Zixiao.
The latter was disdainful toward doing such a thing.
In that case, it should be Li Fu.
No matter what, if she wanted to understand the situation, she had to make a trip to the south.
However, she still wanted to find out the condition of Li Fu first.
Shi Jingtian hesitated and said, “I do not know much!”
“Just tell what you know. The world’s number one expert has disappeared for a long ti, so I’m curious,” Li Yuanzhu said.
“He has a nickna, the ‘Testicle Kicking Maniac!’”
“What? What do you an?” Li Yuanzhu didn’t get it.
Shi Jingtian explained, “It’s said that many people challenged him after he ca to Lan City, and he kicked every challenger with one kick to the crotch. This was how he got the nickna.”
“Wow!” Ning Qing gasped.
Li Yuanzhu’s expression beca frosty…
Shi Jingtian saw their reaction and rejoiced because he had suffered similar disillusionnt before.
Next, he cheerfully added, “There are rumors that he colluded with others to sell iron crotch guards and that he would kick people more lightly if they bought these from him.”
“Is this the world’s number one expert? Are you joking?” Ning Qing’s eyes almost popped out. “Senior Sister, I don’t think this is real.”
Ning Qing found it hard to believe that the top expert in the world could behave this way.
Li Yuanzhu rubbed her forehead and said with mixed feelings, “According to the rumors about his character, it isn’t impossible…”
“This is what I know,” Shi Jingtian said happily.
“Is Master Shi from the Yun Nation or Tianjing Basin?” Li Yuanzhu asked.
“Tianjing Basin, Lingshan Sect.”
“Oh, you are an elite disciple of Lingshan Sect.” Li Yuanzhu nodded. “Are you working for the Dayao imperial court?”
“Yes! I’m a baihu of the Rearguard Commandery and was tasked with delivering this letter,” Shi Jingtian said truthfully.
“Fine. Go and take a rest. I will consider this and then give you a reply,” Li Yuanzhu said.
After Shi Jingtian had left, Ning Qing voiced out her suspicion and asked, “Is this really written by Li Fu? What’s the aning of this letter? What foreign races? Senior Sister, do you know?”
“I’m not sure, but since it’s written by the world’s number one expert, the contents should be real. Anyway, I need to make a trip!”
“I want to go too!” Ning Qing jumped up with joy and said hastily, “I’m going to pack now. It’s boring in the mountain, and I can finally go out!”
“You…” Li Yuanzhu said resignedly.
“If anything happens, I can help to send a letter or do sothing similar. Furthermore, you are the third most powerful expert in the world and should have so followers when you go out. Otherwise, you will lower your prestige. Although you do not mind, you shouldn’t let others look down on you. With around, you will have soone to talk to on the road.” Ning Qing kept chattering.
Li Yuanzhu laughed bitterly. With Ning Qing’s talent, she would have beco an Earth Wheel expert before the age of 20 if she had been willing to put in the effort.
However, with her playful temperant, she couldn’t concentrate and was only a Man Wheel expert at the mont.
By bringing her along to see the world, it might hone her character.
Since Li Fu sent this letter, other masters would most likely have also received letters. This was an opportunity for her to see the world.
