Chapter 180: Lou Hongzhi Is Really Lucky!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Liu Changgong was a peerless master. On the way here, he was still thinking hard about how to win Senior Liu’s favor.
In the end…
As soon as he arrived at the small courtyard, he found out that Lou Hongzhi had become Senior Liu’s student and was still learning calligraphy from him.
Although he was a student, what was the difference between him and a student?
Perhaps, Senior Liu had only brought up the term ‘student’ in order to conceal himself from the world.
Student, student, student of the Dao.
Wonderful.
“This won’t do. I want to be Senior Li’s student as well and play chess with Senior.”
Jianglu made up his mind and his gaze was extremely firm.
One had to know that Senior Liu had once guided their Ancestral Master Carefree to enter the Dao through chess. Logically speaking, chess was Senior Liu’s forte.
If he could learn just a little bit of Senior Liu’s chess skills, then…
Jianglu’s heart immediately thumped wildly.
Could he also become the second Carefree Patriarch?
Thinking of this, Jianglu hurriedly asked Lou Hongzhi, “Brother Lou learned from Senior Liu. What tuition fees did you pay?”
Lou Hongzhi didn’t hide anything and said, “Immortal Jade, Ancient Immortal Jade.”
Ancient Immortal Jade?
Jianglu was full of doubts.
Senior Liu, a peerless mighty figure, still needed Immortal Jade?
However, in an instant, Jianglu understood.
Senior Liu must have wanted Immortal Jade to give Lou Hongzhi a way out.
Otherwise, Lou Hongzhi’s straightforward mind would not be able to beat around the bush.
Jianglu asked, “How much Ancient Immortal Jade?”
Lou Hongzhi made a look of shame and answered, “I only have around 300 pieces. Luckily Senior didn’t mind, so I can be Senior’s student.”
“Around 300 pieces of Immortal Jades.”
Jianglu thought hard.
What Senior said must have a deeper meaning.
Suddenly, Jianglu had a flash of inspiration, he said urgently, “Is it 365 pieces of Immortal Jades?”
Lou Hongzhi hesitated.
“It seems so, I didn’t count it carefully, I just threw it to Senior. Senior seemed to have looked at the Immortal Jades several times.”
Jianglu’s eyes lit up, and he asserted, “It must be 365 pieces. For a character like Senior Liu, every move of his has a deep meaning.”
“Senior Liu must be checking whether the number of Immortal Jade matches the number of 365 pieces. 365 pieces of Immortal Jade is exactly the number of days for the circulation of the Heavenly cycle. Brother Lou is really lucky, it’s such a coincidence.”
Jianglu sincerely worshipped Liu Changgong.
He praised loudly, “As expected of Senior Liu, even taking in a student has so much care.”
Lou Hongzhi suddenly came to a realization, and then he lowered his head and said dejectedly, “I didn’t expect that I was actually accepted by Senior Liu because of this reason.”
Jianglu said, “Your luck has always been good.”
“However, rather than calling it luck, it’s just that Senior Liu has already calculated it. It’s precisely because you have 365 pieces of Immortal Jades that you joined Senior Liu’s chess game from afar, becoming a chess piece on Senior Liu’s chess game.”
Jianglu looked at Lou Hongzhi enviously and sighed. “But I don’t have that many Immortal Jade on me. I can’t go back to the sect to get them. The sect leader has already told me to follow Senior Liu obediently. I can’t go back even if I want to.”
Jianglu looked at Lou Hongzhi resentfully.
Lou Hongzhi said helplessly, “Don’t look at me. I don’t have any Immortal Jade on me either.”
Jianglu was worried and shook his head. “Let’s take it one step at a time. I can collect some in the Southern Territory later. I’ll go and pay my respects to Senior first.”
Jianglu didn’t dare to return to the Central Plains easily now.
When he returned, Lou Hongzhi was Senior Liu’s student.
The scholar looked at him in a new light after three days.
After not seeing him for a few days, the aura emitted by Lou Hongzhi was much stronger than when Jianglu left. His cultivation state had also surpassed Jianglu by a large margin.
Moreover, the Daoist connotation on Lou Hongzhi’s body was also faintly discernible.
Lou Hongzhi also had a feeling of returning to the origin.
If he ran back again, Jianglu did not know how many opportunities he would miss.
Moreover, the gap between him and Lou Hongzhi would grow bigger and bigger.
Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi came to the familiar small courtyard’s entrance together. When he saw the familiar words ‘Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop’, he was filled with emotion.
When he saw these words again, it really felt like the world had changed. It was as if a lifetime had passed.
Jianglu shouted loudly,
“Senior, this Junior Jianglu has come to visit.”
Not long after, a warm voice came from the courtyard.
“You can just come in directly. There aren’t so many rules.”
Jianglu took a deep breath, carefully pushed open the wooden door, and walked in with Lou Hongzhi.
There was no one in the open space of the small courtyard facing the courtyard gate, and neither was there anyone in the inner hall.
The two went around to the backyard.
In the small courtyard, a handsome young man rolled up his sleeves, and was holding a sickle to loosen the soil for the old peach tree.
Beside him was a very cute little girl, obediently carrying a wooden bucket and standing at the side.
Jianglu’s eyes lit up.
That Senior Liu stood in front of him, really like a real mortal, blending into the small courtyard, as if he was a person in a painting, appearing very natural.
Heaven and man were one, and Dao arts were natural!
Jianglu felt incomparable admiration and awe in his heart.
He had seen such a carefree and casual state from Senior Liu.
This scene should only be in the sky!
That’s right, if he wasn’t an Immortal from the upper realm, how could he have such a state?
“He’s here.”
Liu Changgong’s eyes also lit up.
He put down the sickle in his hand, took the towel that Weiqi handed over, and then asked Jianglu to sit down.
Jianglu was also one of his potential customers. Last time, he gave him a piece of calligraphy, but he didn’t know if this time he was here to ask for a painting.
Jianglu was a potential investor!
Anyway, as long as he needed something from him, he had a way to make Jianglu obediently take out spirit stones.
Who asked him to have a system that trained all the small life skills to the extreme?
Zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting…
“Senior, please take a seat. I’ll just stand.”
Seeing Lou Hongzhi respectfully waiting behind Senior Liu, Jianglu didn’t dare to sit down. He hurriedly expressed that he wasn’t tired at all.
Seeing Jianglu’s mischievous look, Liu Changgong smiled faintly.
Seeing Liu Changgong’s smile, Jianglu felt goosebumps in his heart.
He felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Liu Changgong’s thoughts came alive.
He began to guess.
It seemed that the calligraphy and paintings that he had given to Jianglu the last time had worked.
It must have been after Jianglu had brought them back that he had shocked his seven uncles and eight aunts. Then, he had been sent over by the elders of his family.
Liu Changgong asked meaningfully, “Are you here for the calligraphy and paintings from the last time?”
