After Favorability Is Maxed

288 The Empty Nester, Xie Qian

Liu Yuan had to marvel at the beauty of his Senior Sister.

She had a very nice-looking chest!

Liu Yuan could not resist the motherly charm of the Jade Mirage Senior Sister.

At present, City Lord Duan and Eldest Senior Sister had undoubtedly won, and Ling Hua had undoubtedly taken the championship. City Lord Duan was slightly inferior and could take second place, while the third place was Ning Xiangrong, who was far away in Water Moon Dock.

Back then, Little Siyin was very envious of Sister Ning. She wondered if this little loli would cry on the spot if she saw Ling Hua.

This little girl was probably the softest and cutest person around Liu Yuan. She cried easily and was still young… Well, thinking about it this way, Ling Hua, who was more than 300 years old this year, was more than enough to be Gu Siyin’s elder. If the two of them really met…

Liu Yuan’s heart was not serious, and his expression was naturally not very well managed.

Ling Hua looked at his face, which was full of dirty thoughts. She pinched this guy’s ear and sighed helplessly, “Let’s put aside the matter of the Nirvana Secret Realm for now. When did you offend the Young Clan Master and Little Princess of the Fusang race?”

The Fusang Sea Divine Tree clan had established themselves as the Divine Tree Nation in ancient times, tens of thousands of years ago, before they were isolated from the Central Plains. Hence, they would usually address those who held high positions in the current Fusang Clan in two ways, both internally and externally.

However, the latter was only left with a sense of ridicule. Generally, it was only said in private. After all, the Fusang Clan had declined and their population was less than a hundred. They could not be called a country at all.

Liu Yuan kept his expression and coughed twice. This time, he was completely innocent. He put on a straight face and explained, “I didn’t cause this. I only met her once…”

He hesitated for a moment. when I was at Chiyu Villa, Yuan Hongling and her grandfather came to a local gentleman’s house to ask for calligraphy and paintings. I happened to need them urgently, so I made a deal with them.

Even now, Liu Yuan was still unsure of Xie Qian’s identity. However, the possibility that he was the legendary Saint was very high.

However, since his title was ‘recluse’ and he had stayed in an unknown mortal town for such a long time, he definitely did not want to be known by the world.

However…

Xie Qian, this old man, was very strange. Behind the recluse was the one who was unwilling to be lonely for thousands of years, both reclusive and unwilling to be lonely… The tsundere old man, he was an empty nester?

Therefore, Liu Yuan decided not to say anything. As for why an ordinary squire would be sought out by the head of the Fusang Clan for his calligraphy and painting, and why he himself was one of them, there was some hidden information. Whether he knew it or not, he would let the experienced and knowledgeable Fairy Ling Hua tell him.

In any case, he only told them what he had seen and heard, but did not mention Xie Qian’s name.

Ling Hua frowned after hearing what he said. She looked at his enigmatic face, waiting for him to ask. She said, “Is that Squire’s surname Xie?”

Eh? Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Xie Qian’s identity was quite famous in a certain area, and everyone knew that he was in seclusion.

As expected, he was a tsundere…

“Yes,” he nodded and said.

Ling Hua was encouraged and continued, “That calligraphy and painting has the ability to repair the Soul Palace. The Fusang Clan Master, Yuan Kaixuan, came for that painting. It is said that he and… this squire of the Xie family used to study in the same place. No wonder you could find him.”

She lowered her beautiful eyes. When she mentioned ‘Xie family’s squire’, she exchanged a look with Liu Yuan, and they both got the information they wanted.

Liu Yuan verified the ‘enmity of the tofu pudding’ that he had learned from Xie Qian. Since Ling Hua was so clear about it, it meant that Old Xie’s deeds were indeed very famous. Who else could make Ling Hua so respectful? Combined with the information he had learned before, who else could it be except a Saint?

His heart skipped a beat. It turned out that he had really unintentionally gotten an SSR card in the past.

At the same time, he felt a great sense of regret. He had maxed out the favorability of this amazing card, and all he had gotten back then were a few Experience Scrolls? That’s it?

It was simply a waste of God’s gift!

However, Liu Yuan was just thinking about it. At that time, he had just transmigrated and was in an overly excited state. The level of the people he came into contact with was also there. How could he have the ability to distinguish these things? Even if he knew Xie Qian’s identity at that time, was he trying to blackmail him for repayment?

This was a Saint, and favorability was not something that could be obtained through a strategy like other characters. If he revealed his greed in front of a Saint, who knew what the consequences would be?

Thinking about it this way, it might not have been a bad thing for him to be in a state of ignorance as a newbie.

On the other hand, Ling Hua thought that if the Soul Palace outside of the three Dantians was damaged, then it was reasonable for his cultivation to decline greatly and even need to rebuild his physical body.

Junxuan was very secretive about this, and he actually went to the Saint to ask for calligraphy and paintings to convey the Dao. His situation these years was probably more terrifying than she imagined.

“Let’s not talk about this. That person’s matter is too far away from us,” Ling Hua said softly.

It sounded like this Saint was very cold in the eyes of the people. Liu Yuan could not help but argue on behalf of Xie Qian, “Actually, he’s quite kind. When he’s free, he’ll write and paint and hang them all over the pavilion. When people come to beg him, he won’t give them to them. He’s very sarcastic and vicious to those who he doesn’t like. He’ll say something mean to them. He usually doesn’t see anyone. When someone visits, he’ll ask the guard to say that no one is around. Then, he’ll turn around and play the zither himself. He will play it so loud that the people outside will hear it…”

He smacked his lips and said, “If you put it this way, it does seem a little too much.”

Ling Hua chuckled and was a little surprised. Liu Yuan’s tone did not sound like he was talking to a senior who was far away. Instead, it sounded like he was talking to a friend who he visited daily…

However, that Saint had been arrogant and conceited all his life and had no close friends. Ling Hua did not doubt that Liu Yuan knew him. However, it sounded like they were close friends, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, “Forget it. You’re right. The matter at hand is more important. Get up. Let’s meet the Young Clan Master and see why she’s looking for the Nirvana Secret Realm.”

As soon as he said that, Ling Hua remembered that she was still in his arms. She quickly stood up and tidied her clothes. Under Liu Yuan’s gaze, she pursed her lips, and a faint blush appeared on her cold face.

This was the most attractive part about the Jade Mirage Senior Sister Yu Xu… Ahem, ahem, ahem, but she was still so easily embarrassed.
