Chapter 123: Liu Changgong Agrees To Give Away the Painting!
At the moment, Liu Changgong was still short of many, many spirit stones.
Therefore, even if Liu Changgong thought that he had seen through Yu Hongye, he still agreed to do business with Yu Hongye.
Sigh.
A penny for a hero.
Seeing through was seeing through, but spirit stones still had to be earned.
Liu Changgong nodded, indicating that he agreed to Yu Hongye’s request.
Yu Hongye had been looking at Liu Changgong from the corner of her eyes. When she saw that Liu Changgong had nodded his head, she was stunned.
She suddenly raised her head, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. She was stunned for a long time before she finally reacted.
It was unbelievable.
At the same time, Yu Hongye was overwhelmed by a huge surprise.
“Young Master, no, Senior, did you agree to my request?”
Yu Hongye was so excited that she even stuttered.
Senior Liu actually agreed to her request so readily without any hesitation.
Yu Hongye felt that she had been hit by a great prize in an instant.
Now, her mind was blank, and she felt like she was in a dream.
She pinched her arm with her fingernails until the pain made her cry in pain. Only then did she believe that what happened before her eyes was real.
Liu Changgong looked at Yu Hongye’s surprised and happy expression and was speechless.
It was just drawing or a painting.
She was so happy over such a small matter?
She probably had not seen any big scenes before. It seemed that her family’s business was not big.
Liu Changgong sighed helplessly.
Then he said, “Do you need words or do you need to draw?”
Yu Hongye was jolted awake when she heard Liu Changgong’s words. She escaped from the shock of great joy.
Hearing Liu Changgong’s question, Yu Hongye didn’t know how to answer. She could only probe:
“Senior, do you think I need words or do need to draw?”
Liu Changgong couldn’t help but criticize Yu Hongye when he heard her question.
This woman was really a nouveau riche, a country bumpkin, and ignorant.
And she was a f*cking cultivator. She couldn’t even decide such a simple question on her own?
She was just trash.
Liu Changgong once again despised Yu Hongye and her family in his heart. Then, he slowly said, “Then I’ll draw a picture for you guys.”
The main reason was that Yu Hongye didn’t make any requests, so it wasn’t good for him to inscribe words.
If the words he wrote were misunderstood by others, he would just add some trouble for nothing.
He might as well paint and save himself some trouble.
“Alright, I’ll listen to Senior.”
Yu Hongye nodded desperately and made a gesture to bow to Liu Changgong again.
“Thank you, Senior. Senior is really a high-class and noble person…”
“Don’t be silly. I’m not finished yet.”
Yu Hongye said in shock, “Ah?”
Liu Changgong asked again, “What do you guys want from this painting? Or rather, what theme do you want?”
Yu Hongye was overwhelmed by the favor. For a moment, she was so touched that she could not speak.
This peerless Senior not only gave her the painting, but also asked her to make a request?
This, this, this was too good.
Senior Liu had a poker face all day long, and he looked very cold and aloof.
So, he was actually such a casual and genial person in private.
His strength was unfathomable, and he did not put on any airs of an expert at all.
This kind of person was simply too good, and he couldn’t be found even with a lantern in hand.
Yu Hongye was so moved that she began to sob softly.
Liu Changgong looked at Yu Hongye, who was in a state of shock and had an infatuated look on her face, and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, ‘Is there something wrong with this woman’s IQ?’
‘That’s not right, she looked like a normal woman before.’
‘Could it be that her brain wasn’t normal after participating in the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals?’
Sigh.
It seemed that being a cultivator wasn’t such a good thing.
Liu Changgong was very helpless. He couldn’t be angry at a fool, or else he would be a fool too.
He could only ask again patiently, “What theme do you want to draw?”
Yu Hongye woke up from her dream and hurriedly replied, “Ah! I’m sorry, Senior. I was too happy.”
“Senior, feel free to draw. You just need to be a little more majestic and bring out the status of my family.”
Yu Hongye thought that this painting was to be used to participate in the treasure gathering that was held in advance. It was more suitable to be majestic.
“A little more majestic…”
Liu Changgong fell into deep thought.
“Alright, I understand your needs.”
Not long after, Liu Changgong finalized a painting plan.
This time, in order to prevent himself from losing her composure again, Yu Hongye tried hard to suppress the joy and excitement in her heart. She just respectfully cupped her hands and said,
“Thank you, Senior, for the favor of the painting. Such a great favor will be unforgettable for the entire Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”
Liu Changgong waved his hand and stopped Yu Hongye’s action.
“Don’t thank me yet. This painting was not given to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for free.”
Yu Hongye asked enthusiastically, “Senior, if there’s anything that you need from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, feel free to mention it.”
Liu Changgong glanced at Yu Hongye and said indifferently, “Exchange it with spirit stones.”
“Spirit stones?”
Yu Hongye was stunned. She subconsciously asked, “Senior, you need spirit stones?”
In Yu Hongye’s heart, a big shot like Senior Liu, who had extraordinary means, probably didn’t need spirit stones anymore.
Even a supreme-grade spirit stone, in Senior’s eyes, had a lot of impurities, and the Spirit Qi was thin.
Liu Changgong was very helpless.
Good question!
‘Indeed, I’m just an ordinary person. What use can spirit stones have?’
‘If it wasn’t for the two women in my family waiting for me to earn spirit stones for them, I wouldn’t have asked for spirit stones.’
Liu Changgong only spat out a few words before he quickly replied, “Why do you care about that? I have my own use for spirit stones.”
“Senior, you’re right. This Junior will follow your orders.”
Yu Hongye was filled with trepidation and didn’t dare to ask about the use of spirit stones.
“Then, how many spirit stones does Senior need?”
Liu Changgong was just an ordinary person. He had never used spirit stones, so he didn’t know how many spirit stones were suitable for a painting.
He pretended to be indifferent and said, “A painting is a piece of cake. Just give it to me as you see fit. I have something important to do, so I won’t accompany you for now. After you have prepared the spirit stones, I will give the painting to you.”
Liu Changgong admitted that his painting skills were unparalleled in the world.
However, painting was only a mortal’s skill, and couldn’t be used to kill enemies and save lives.
In the eyes of painting enthusiasts, his paintings might be priceless treasures, but in the eyes of ordinary people, his paintings might be worthless.
As for using his paintings to exchange for spirit stones with the merchants who were cultivators, he was not confident at all.
If he asked for too much, he would be treated as a swindler.
If he asked for too little, he would lower his own value, and it would not be in line with his status as a ‘painting expert’.
Yu Hongye pondered over Liu Changgong’s words.
What did he mean by ‘you can give it to me as you see fit’?
The words of a peerless expert were as precious as gold. What the Senior said usually had a deeper meaning.
Until Yu Hongye bade farewell to Liu Changgong and walked out of the Immortal’s Destiny shop, she did not understand the deeper meaning behind Liu Changgong’s words.
Seeing Yu Hongye walk out of the door, Zhao Li, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurriedly greeted her.
“Miss, how’s the situation?”
“I told you, Senior Liu has agreed to gift the painting.”
“Really? My god, it’s unbelievable!”
