Chapter 3: Hidden Experts Revealed
A mysterious sensation flashed across his brain, relaxing the pores on his skin. Suddenly, he felt refreshed and suddenly understood all the obscure things that were once inaccessible to him.
Foundation Established!
Luo Shiyu stared at the watermelon skin in front of him in confusion.
It's unbelievable! Not only did the watermelon possess Spiritual Qi, it even came with Insights!
Insight, also known as the Basics of Wisdom, played an important role in the sudden breakthrough of a cultivator. In other words, Insights are rare and valuable. Although there might only be a slight Insight in the watermelon, it had already allowed Luo Shiyu to pass through the bottleneck.
Instantly, she became the fangirl Li Nianfan. He stood up quickly and bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan, "Thank you, Senior, for helping my breakthrough to set up the foundation."
The moment Li Nianfan heard his title changed from 'Master' to 'Senior', he was not happy at all. Although he meant it as a good gesture, Li Nianfan did not understand what was happening.
“As I said, I'm just an ordinary human being and this is just an ordinary watermelon. What is your breakthrough relationship with my watermelon? Also, why do you call me 'senior'? Do I look so old to you?” Li Niandan challenged him with a slightly elevated tone, feeling offended.
She thought she was mocking him for serving her a regular watermelon. The more he thought about it, the more humiliated he felt. It's as if a billionaire is thanking him for his one-dollar bill. What an insult! Did he think he could humiliate everyone just because he was a cultivator?
Luo Shiyu was shocked and confused. Did he offend the Expert unconsciously?
'That's right, the Expert disguises himself as an ordinary human to experience ordinary life. I almost revealed his identity now, of course he was angry with me! Uh! How careless I am!’ Luo Shiyu pondered as Li Nianfan's face darkened.
In a hurry, he apologized, "Master-Master, I'm really sorry to have offended you, I got excited."
'Hmm, this young lady does have a good attitude, she is beautiful and not arrogant about it, a good cultivator,' Li Nianfan thought inwardly.
"It's okay, I don't mind." He wags.
Luo Shiyu was relieved. He gritted his teeth and took out a jade slip from his waist pocket.
“Pak, this was given to Me by my father when I was growing up. Please accept this as my tribute to watermelon today. ”
The jade feels good in the hand. A phoenix was engraved on it and reflected the light. That looks special.
The young maid beside Luo Shiyu covered her mouth in shock, she pulled Luo Shiyu and said, "Miss, you can't give this away!"
Li Nianfan was also surprised by Luo Shiyu's generosity, he shook his head and said, "Miss Luo, you are too polite. It's just watermelon, I can't take your jade.”
'Who would exchange such jade for watermelon? Is he very rich?’ Li Nianfan thought to himself.
"Blackie, let's eat watermelon!" Li Nianfan shouted in the backyard.
Quickly, Blackie came out in a hurry, drooling onto the watermelon. Most of the time, Blackie lived in the backyard to guard the farmland. Although Li Niandan had never been attacked by monsters, it was better to be armed and protected. After all, they live in the forest.
Li Nianfan casually threw the remaining watermelon at Blackie, he smiled, “Look at you! Eat up!"
Gulp down! Gulp down!
Luo Shiyu stared with wide eyes. "Sir, this is too wasteful!"
This is a watermelon that contains Insights and may be worth more than Spiritual Fruits. Why would he feed her to a dog?’
Luo Shiyu looked at Blackie closely again. He was just an ordinary dog from the mortal realm.
On the other hand, Li Nianfan was surprised at how frugal this noble lady was. This gave her a good impression of Luo Shiyu, and she laughed at him. “It's just a watermelon, I have a lot here. It is not considered futile if Blackie eats it.”
"Of course, you are right," Luo said with twitching lips.
He felt ashamed, of course, watermelon meant nothing to an Expert like him. He also decided that he should get acquainted with Li Nianfan, even knowing him would be a great blessing for him.
Luo Shiyu insisted Li Nianfan accept the jade. “Master, the forest is not the safest place to live. My Family is considered strong in this area, if something happens to you, this jade will save you from many problems ”
"Well .. if you insist." Li Nianfan considered for some time and accepted the jade. “You are always welcome to come buy watermelon whenever you want!”
He examined the jade in his hand and realized its texture was quite rough. Although it was phoenix-shaped, it had no charm at all. With his violent passion, he was tempted to fix it at some point.
Luo Shiyu was glad that she received the jade, she thanked him with her eyes shining happily.
The young servant was stunned. She did not understand why the Princess treated this ordinary man with respect. Even the nobles did not get this much attention from him.
“Thank you for the time today, Mr.” Luo Shiyu knew the acquaintance was made and he was ready to leave.
Li Nianfan stood up and escorted them out.
…
Luo Shiyu looked cheerfully overwhelming as she walked out of the house. If not for his breakthrough, he would have thought this was all just a dream. He was amused by how lucky he was, to be able to get acquainted with an Expert hidden in disguise.
Behind him, the young maid asked confusedly, “Princess, why are you so polite to her? Isn't he just a normal human being?”
The Princess turned around and with a straight and serious face, she warned, "Lv Luo, don't say anything about what happened today. Also, do not reveal this location to anyone, understand?”
Luo Shiyu reasoned that if the Expert had chosen to stay in this forest, he most likely did not want to be disturbed. He could not offend her anymore.
Lv Luo had never seen the Princess so seriously about something, she hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Princess."
“Ah, I forgot to seek help from Expert!” yelled Luo Shiyu.
He wanted to get rid of the marriage arranged by Father Emperor, perhaps an Expert might be able to help. However, it didn't seem appropriate to go back to him now.
“Ah, I guess I can only wait until next time!”
As he looked over the house, a thick fog somehow encircled the trees beneath the house; the house seemed to have almost disappeared.
