Chapter 218: Ruthless, He Was Ruthless

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Holy Emperor looked at Luo Shiyu and nodded. “Yeah.”

At that time, not a lot of people knew about the expert. He could visit the expert frequently. Now, there were too many boot-lickers around, each cooler than the last. There was no room for him to kiss-up to the expert anymore.

Sigh, exhausting.

They did not know what other reason they had to visit the expert aside for the benefit of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

“This jar of alcohol is called the Immortal Brew. It was invented by an alcoholic a million years ago. The alcoholic ascended soon after, so that’s how it got its name. This is pretty much the best alcohol in the Immortal Realm. I worked hard to get it.”

The Holy Emperor said, “The expert won’t be impressed by our items, but if we’re to bring him something, it should be the best.”

Luo Shiyu looked down and said, “Unless the expert calls for us, I’m afraid we won’t be hanging around him anymore.”

The Ganlong Immortal Dynasty was an average sect with limited items and resources. They were no longer worthy to visit the expert.

The others could battle with their Immortal ancestors. They did not have that!

Such a cruel world. They were too weak to be worthy boot-lickers.

They were slightly taken aback while they were walking as they saw a figure walking on the mountain road, too.

That person was dressed for the occasion.

However, he looked dazed and distracted. He kept mumbling while walking, “It’s too hard… Too hard… I can’t solve it…”

The Holy Emperor arched his eyebrow. He hurriedly walked forward and said, “Pal, wait up!”

That person snapped out of his daze and looked at the Holy Emperor. “Greetings, cultivator.”

The Holy Emperor asked, “Cultivator, may I ask why you’re walking up the mountain?”

That person groaned before answering with a riddle, “Confusion in mind, came for answers!”

The Holy Emperor felt like someone had tugged on his heartstrings. He said in a low voice, “Lighter?”

That person laughed and replied, “Refrigerator!”

Suddenly, they both laughed while looking at each other.

The Holy Emperor saluted, “Haha, so you’re a colleague. I’m the Holy Emperor from the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty!”

The person replied, “I’m the Chess Fanatic.”

“Why don’t we go together?”

“Good, good!”

They were instantly close, chatting with each other on the way up.

Truthfully, they both had something in mind.

The Holy Emperor felt like he no longer deserved to be a chess piece for the expert. The Chess Fanatic felt like his chess skills were weak. He had not been playing chess because he felt like something ominous was about to befall upon him.

Soon, they saw the four-part architecture.

At that moment, they felt anxious.

They felt like they were peasants visiting their rich friend.

Luo Shiyu bit her lip and asked, “Is… Mr. Li home?”

Creak.

Li Nianfan opened the door and instantly smiled. “It’s you guys. I saw a magpie on the branch today, so I knew some guests would be visiting me! Please, come in.”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were the first cultivators he knew. The Chess Fanatic was a rare intermediate chess player. Li Nianfan knew them well—they were old friends. He was naturally friendly towards them.

The Holy Emperor and the others were shocked and overjoyed. “Thanks, Mr. Li.”

They greeted Daji when they walked in, “Greetings to Lady Daji.”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Sit anywhere. Xiao Bai, bring out the soda!”

“Thanks.” The Holy Emperor carefully took the soda from Xiao Bai. He was blushing. The soda was more valuable than his jar of alcohol.

He grabbed the jar and went for it. “Mr. Li, this is a jar of alcohol that I got from someone. A small gift for you.”

“Oh? You brought me alcohol?”

Li Nianfan was surprised. He took the jar and sniffed it. Then, he complimented, “It’s nice alcohol!”

The alcohol was fantastic for the Immortal Realm. Fine brewing methods were hard to come by.

Li Nianfan did not like to drink alcohol, so he never made his own brew. He could make some in the future for casual occasions or guests.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Holy Emperor, you’re too courteous.”

He noticed Li Nianfan did not dislike it, so he sighed in relief. He said, “Mr. Li, we know about what you did at the Xia Kingdom. It affects my Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, too. The plague had spread on all sides. You’re truly the hero of the people!”

“Haha, that’s too much of a compliment. It’s not a big deal at all.”

Li Nianfan laughed it off but deep down, he felt good.

This old man was good with words!

He looked at the Chess Fanatic and smiled. “Bro, I’ve been waiting for you to play chess with me but I never see you around anymore.”

The Chess Fanatic looked troubled. He said, “Mr. Li, my chess skills are rough. I’m too embarrassed to be your opponent.”

At first, he wanted to practice chess with Li Nianfan every day. However, as he got better at chess, he realized that Li Nianfan was mysteriously astounding.

Every time he got better at chess, he realized how terrifyingly good Li Nianfan was.

It was the truth. He felt like he was looking up at a giant. He was truly embarrassed.

Li Nianfan shook his head. “It’s just entertainment. Don’t be too serious, alright?”

He never imagined that there would be a Chess Fanatic in the Immortal Realm. Was he even a cultivator? He was completely obsessed with playing chess!

He had the talent to be a cultivator. Was it not a waste to stop training?

He thought about it and suggested, “Bro, let me tell you something. Chess is just for entertainment, so don’t neglect your cultivation!”

He meant it.

At that moment, Li Nianfan felt like a kid who was not able to go to school. Seeing another school kid fooling around and skipping classes was too painful to watch!

The Chess Fanatic felt his heart drop. The expert was testing him!

He hurriedly replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. Chess is so profound. Why would I waste my energy on cultivation? I’ve already quit being a cultivator to focus on chess!”

Gasp!

Li Nianfan was dumbfounded.

Ruthless, he was ruthless!

He stopped being a cultivator to play chess? This…

Was he trying to show off?

Oh no!

Li Nianfan felt a critical hit. He glanced around. The sword was too far from him. Otherwise, he would split this spoiled rich guy in half!

The Chess Fanatic was happy when he saw how Li Nianfan reacted.

‘It was the right choice to quit cultivating. Look, even the expert’s shocked by my determination. He must think I have huge potential.’
