Chapter 163 - Junior Only Has More Than 300 Pieces
Thinking of this, Lou Hongzhi answered shamefully:
“This Junior did bring some, but the number is not much. If Senior needs more, Junior can go back to the sect to take it at any time.”
Liu Changgong’s eyes moved and asked, “How much do you have?”
Lou Hongzhi answered hesitantly, “Junior, Junior only has about three hundred pieces.”
Then, Lou Hongzhi buried his head deeply in shame.
He thought, with Senior Liu’s cultivation realm, if he wanted Immortal Jade, then the number of Immortal Jade must be an astronomical figure.
He didn’t know whether those three hundred pieces of Ancient Immortal Jade were enough for the ‘tuition fee’ Senior said.
Liu Changgong was shocked by Lou Hongzhi’s words.
What the heck, what did he mean by ‘only three hundred pieces’?
Even a nouveau riche like Yu Hongye couldn’t take out three hundred pieces of spirit stones at once. She could only take out a few dozen pieces. After taking it twice, he only took out a total of more than a hundred pieces.
And Lou Hongzhi, who didn’t look good, took out three hundred middle-grade spirit stones at once.
It seemed that Lou Hongzhi’s background had already far surpassed that of a nouveau riche like Yu Hongye.
He must be a disciple of a reclusive super sect who was training outside, and one with a very high status in the sect!
Liu Changgong was a little surprised and a little scared.
Fortunately, he didn’t say it to death and didn’t make Lou Hongzhi kowtow for too long.
Liu Changgong took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Then he pretended to be calm and said, “Although it’s only a little, but it’s enough to pay for your tuition. You don’t have to go back. From tomorrow onwards, you can learn calligraphy with me.”
“Senior, is it true?”
“When have I ever lied?”
Lou Hongzhi looked up and said in surprise, “Thank you, Senior!”
Lou Hongzhi knew that Senior would never lack those three hundred pieces of Ancient Immortal Jade, and that Immortal Jade might be completely useless to him.
There were only two reasons for asking him for the Ancient Immortal Jade.
The first was to test his determination.
After all, the Ancient Immortal Jade was considered very precious to ordinary itinerant cultivators. However, it did not mean that it was impossible to obtain. If he could take out all the spirit stones in his body, even if it was just one piece, Senior would feel his sincerity.
The second reason was very simple. It was because he was really stupid. Senior Liu was afraid that taking him in as a disciple would tarnish his reputation or taint karma. That was why he thought of such a compromise and took him in as his student. In this way, he would pay his tuition fees and learn swordsmanship from the Senior, so he would not have those concerns.
The Senior had always lived in seclusion here and was detached from the outside world. He must have seen his sincerity and reluctantly agreed to his request.
After thinking, Lou Hongzhi immediately took out all the Ancient Immortal Jade in his storage and respectfully handed it to Liu Changgong.
“Senior, during this period of time, I will stay near your small courtyard. If Senior has any needs, you can call me at any time.”
Liu Changxue nodded with satisfaction and said, “No problem. From tomorrow onwards, you can come to my place to learn calligraphy anytime.”
“Yes.” Lou Hongzhi bowed respectfully to Liu Changgong again and then left.
After Lou Hongzhi left, Liu Changgong jumped up excitedly.
The joy between his brows was released without any disguise.
Liu Chang hurried back to the inner room and took out all the ‘middle-grade spirit stones’ he currently had.
“Four hundred and fifty pieces!”
The jade pieces that were emitting fog were piled together, making Liu Changgong very happy.
Liu Changgong called Qi’er into the room, and at the same time, he called Xia’er who was hiding in the inner hall out. In the end, he even called out Yu Hongye who was in the inner room.
There were three women, and each of them had ten middle-grade spirit stones.
Qi’er and Xia’er called out happily:
“Thank you, Master.”
“Thank you, Young Master.”
However, Yu Hongye said in surprise, “Senior… No, Young Master, do I have a share as well? But I don’t seem to have any use for this thing at the moment.”
Liu Changgong smiled and said, “Miss Hongye, I’ve seen everything that you’ve been busy with. Besides, you’re already my person now, so why are you still saying such words?”
Yu Hongye heard Liu Changgong’s words and was so excited that tears flowed down her face.
“Thank you, Young Master.”
Even though Yu Hongye was the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, she did not have the right to enjoy the Ancient Immortal Jade. Only when she represented the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to give Senior Liu the Immortal Jade did she manage to get her hands on the Ancient Immortal Jade.
Now, she actually had the Ancient Immortal Jade that truly belonged to her.
That Immortal Jade was given to her by Senior Liu, Young Master Liu!
It had extraordinary significance!
Yu Hongye made a decision in her heart. From now on, she would no longer regard herself as the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Instead, she would place Liu Changgong in the most important position in her heart.
After all, she had already become Liu Changgong’s woman.
If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Not to mention that Senior Liu was a peerless expert with earth-shattering abilities. She would do her best to serve him well.
At this moment, Liu Changgong looked at Qi’er and Xia’er with great satisfaction.
Previously, he did not have many spirit stones in his hands, so Liu Changgong could only give the two of them one spirit stone every day so that they could share it.
After all, Liu Changgong did not have any spirit roots and could not cultivate. He placed all his hopes on Qi’er and Xia’er.
Watching them cultivate was like watching himself cultivate.
Liu Changgong felt that he was like a kind old father, watching his daughters grow up day by day.
However, Qi’er and Xia’er also worked very hard in their cultivation, and they did not disappoint Liu Changgong’s expectations.
Every night, they would completely absorb the ‘middle-grade spirit stones’. It was very exaggerated, and not even a bit of residue was left behind.
“When Qi’er and Xia’er are both successful in their cultivation, they will be able to protect themselves. At that time, Xia’er will be able to show herself, and she won’t have to hide every day.”
“When that time comes, Mr. Xinghe, Wang Yuyan, and the other cultivators will be so shocked that their eyes will pop out of their sockets.”
“It’s unbelievable that Senior, as a mere mortal, is able to cultivate high-level cultivators!”
Liu Changgong felt extremely comfortable just thinking about this scene.
Just as Liu Changgong was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt someone hugging his waist tightly.
His thighs were also hugged tightly.
His face was covered by someone’s hand.
“Hongye, what are you doing?”
“Master, I’m Qi’er?”
“What, Qi’er?”
“Young Master, I’m Xia’er, hehe?”
“What? Xia’er, don’t be mischievous with Qi’er. Quickly let go of my eyes. Where’s your Sister Hongye?”
“Young Master, I’m right behind you?”
Liu Changgong was shocked.
“Hongye, what are you doing? Don’t let Qi’er and Xia’er see that kind of thing.”
Yu Hongye smiled and said, “Young Master made such a big commotion. Qi’er and Xia’er have seen it long ago and have been begging me to teach them all day. Why don’t you just obey them today?”
Liu Changgong struggled to escape, but Qi’er and Xia’er were much stronger than him, a mortal.
As they pushed and shoved, Liu Changgong was dragged into the inner room by the three women…
