I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Liu Changgong and Yu Hongye Have Different Ideas!

After receiving Yu Hongye’s things and listening to Yu Hongye’s compliments, Liu Changgong’s impression of Yu Hongye changed greatly.

Previously, he thought it was disgusting for a woman to dress up as a man, which made him sick to his stomach.

Because, in his previous life, Liu Changgong hated those sissies the most.

But now, Liu Changgong found the woman dressed up as a man in front of him very pleasing to the eye.

Her attitude was upright and sincere.

It seemed that her nature was not bad.

It was just that her personal habits might be a little strange.

Thinking of this, Liu Changgong’s attitude toward Yu Hongye suddenly eased a lot, unlike before when he was disturbed by Yu Hongye, who always kept a straight face.

However, he found that after Yu Hongye gave him something, she still stood there motionlessly.

It seemed like she wasn’t too willing to leave.

This made Liu Changgong extremely anxious.

He still had to nurse Xia’er’s body. With Yu Hongye standing there, how was he going to call Xia’er out?

Liu Changgong didn’t want to expose the fact that he had kidnapped Xia’er.

“Miss Hongye, is there anything else? If there’s anything, just say it. After spending so much time together, don’t you know what kind of personality I have? There’s no need to hide it.”

Liu Changgong was very puzzled.

Yu Hongye was so nervous that she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and pondered for a long time.

Only then did she muster up the courage to speak. “S-Senior, this Junior still has a presumptuous request.”

Liu Changgong’s eyes quickly turned, and he replied, “Just say it. If it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely help you.”

Yu Hongye stuttered for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

“I, I… Junior would like to ask Senior for another painting.”

After saying this, Yu Hongye’s heart instantly started beating violently. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, suffocating her.

Her face also became hot. With a swoosh, it turned completely red.

It was as beautiful as a ripe apple.

However, Yu Hongye did not feel good.

What should she do?

‘What if Senior feels that I’m taking an inch and taking a mile? Wouldn’t he not only refuse my request, but instead fly into a rage and chase me out of the door?’

‘Would he cut me down with his sword?’

‘Will it implicate the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and destroy its thousands of years of foundation?’

‘Then I will become the sinner of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets…’

At that moment, countless thoughts surged through Yu Hongye’s mind, and she was extremely nervous.

“You still want to ask for a painting?”

Liu Changgong asked reflexively.

He didn’t think much of it. He just casually did the painting.

It was just that Liu Changgong was quite worried about Xia’er’s body right now. He only wanted to use the natural treasures that Yu Hongye gave him as soon as possible to recuperate Xia’er’s body.

When Yu Hongye saw that Liu Changgong wasn’t as furious as she had imagined, her nervous heart relaxed a little.

Yu Hongye’s eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope.

She took the opportunity to say, “I know that Senior has already made a painting for me, and I shouldn’t have asked for more. However, this time, I’m asking for a painting for my family. I don’t expect Senior to spend much effort on this painting. Senior just needs to casually draw one. From now on, if Senior needs any help from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets will definitely be willing to be your servant.”

With that, Yu Hongye bowed deeply to Liu Changgong.

She was very serious, her head almost drooping to the ground.

As the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Yu Hongye rarely bowed like this. Therefore, her chopsticks-like legs were trembling violently.

Even so, she did not dare to stand up straight, afraid that Liu Changgong would reject her request because of her lack of etiquette.

Not long after, as a cultivator, Yu Hongye’s face was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Liu Changgong saw Yu Hongye’s appearance and hurriedly helped her up.

“Miss, you don’t have to do this. I’m just a mortal. Can’t I agree?”

After saying this, Liu Changgong thought about what Yu Hongye said.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?

Liu Changgong’s heart was moved, and he couldn’t help but ask,

“Is your family doing business in the cultivation world?”

Yu Hongye nodded and said with some shame, “That’s right. The family business is a small business, and it may not be worthy of Senior’s attention.”

In front of a peerless master like Liu Changgong, even the Lord of the Brahma Holy Land had to be respectful.

Wasn’t the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets a small business in Liu Changgong’s eyes?

Yu Hongye was even worried that if Liu Changgong heard that she was a member of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he would despise the stench of copper coins on her body.

Liu Changgong’s thoughts were complicated.

Those who were in business in the cultivation world should have a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Liu Changgong’s eyes were full of light.

He was planning how to nurse Xia’er’s body and prepare cultivation resources for her when Yu Hongye came forward.

Wasn’t this a rare opportunity?

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had a huge amount of wealth, and it just so happened that they needed something from him.

Liu Changgong easily guessed what Yu Hongye was thinking.

Earth, agriculture, industry, and commerce.

This was the ranking of industries in the human world.

In the world of mortals, the status of merchants had always been the lowest, and they were also the most despised.

They were unbearably vulgar, reeking of money, nouveau riche, and their minds were filled with the desire to make money…

The evaluations of merchants were almost always negative.

Therefore, in order to improve their social status, many merchants would deliberately look for scholars and make friends with them.

Moreover, for the purpose of being subservient and elegant, they would buy a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings.

Merchants would collect some rare books from the people and put them in their study as a front.

Even if they opened their books and saw that they were all brand new pages, and it was obvious that no one had read them…

However, even if they didn’t read them, they couldn’t do without them.

This was the mentality of merchants.

Some of them were also in the same situation in the world of cultivators.

Liu Changgong thought that his calligraphy and painting skills had reached the peak. Even the high-level cultivators couldn’t stop praising him and calling him ‘Senior’.

In that case, Yu Hongye must have seen this scene before and had already made plans.

That’s right!

For her to be so solicitous, not only did she take the initiative to provide him with the things he needed, she might not have done it to make up for disturbing his good work. Her real purpose was to ask for a painting for herself!

Thinking of this…

Liu Changgong’s eyes suddenly opened.

All of Yu Hongye’s abnormal behavior was perfectly explained.

‘As expected of me!’

‘Hehe, merchants are indeed cunning and resourceful.’

Yu Hongye, this little girl, looked delicate and pretty. He didn’t expect her to actually follow the merchant’s style.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The merchant’s daughter knows how to settle accounts!

Liu Changgong sneered in his heart. He thought that he finally saw Yu Hongye’s true colors.

However, getting along with a true villain was still much better than getting along with a hypocrite.

To get along with a true villain, one only needed to discuss benefits and conditions directly. There weren’t that many schemes and intrigues.

As the guardian of the two girls, Qi’er and Xia’er, Liu Changgong was worried to death.

Not only did he have to nurse their bodies, he also had to collect spirit stones for them to cultivate.
