I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master-Chapter 143 - Hongye, I Am Very Pleased That You Have Grown Up

When Yu Hongye heard Yu Mingzhi’s words, she fell into deep thought.

Yu Mingzhi continued to talk to himself.

“This is similar to the appearance of the Carefree Grand Sage’s abode. It is full of coincidences. Looking back, it was all part of Senior Liu’s scheme.”

“Hongye, you are part of the scheme. You don’t know that those who are involved are confused, but those who are watching from the sidelines are clear!”

Yu Hongye asked curiously, “I thought about it. It was indeed Senior Liu who set up the trap last time, but is it the same this time? Second Uncle, what kind of coincidence is there in the appearance of the Sword Immortal’s cave this time?”

Yu Mingzhi replied:

“I am not clear either. I can only see the coincidence of time. As for the purpose of these things, I think only Senior Liu, the person who set up the trap, knows.”

“However, I can tell you that the appearance of the Ancient Sword Immortal’s cave abode this time must have something to do with Senior Liu.”

Yu Hongye was even more puzzled. “Second Uncle, why?”

“It’s very simple. According to my speculation, there is no one in the Southern Territory who has a higher cultivation level than Senior Liu. He is an Immortal.”

Yu Mingzhi said, “Logically speaking, the Ancient Immortal’s cave abode usually waits for the fated person to appear. If the fated person doesn’t appear in such an Ancient Immortal’s cave abode, he would rather remain silent forever than appear. Moreover, the two Ancient Immortal’s cave abodes usually will not appear in succession.”

“Because every time the Ancient Immortal’s cave abodes appears, a large amount of spiritual energy and fated person would leak out. And the Heavenly Dao would make everything be conserved to prevent a certain place from having too much spiritual energy.”

“And so many major events have happened in the Southern Region recently. Two cave abodes appeared one after another, the phoenix descended, and the Li family was destroyed. Logically speaking, the Southern Region should be in chaos, but it is not.”

“In that case, there’s only one explanation left.”

“That is that Senior Liu is scheming in the dark, scheming and strategizing, and making decisions thousands of miles away.”

“A peerless expert like Senior Li uses the Heavens as a chessboard, and all things as chess pieces. He can stir up a storm with just a flick of his fingers. On the other hand, he is detached from the outside world and lives in seclusion at the foot of Mount Taiyin, leading a carefree life.”

Yu Hongye listened to Yu Mingzhi’s analysis and was so surprised that she could not close her mouth.

Yu Hongye also spent some time digesting the information.

Yu Hongye felt that there were indeed countless and unfathomable connections between the major events that happened in the Southern Region these days. She had already believed more than half of Yu Mingzhi’s words.

When she understood Yu Mingzhi’s words, she was like a little monk who had an epiphany. Her face revealed heartfelt admiration and worship, and she could not help but exclaim in admiration.

“Senior Liu’s realm is truly unfathomable. It really makes me gasp in amazement.”

“Then, Second Uncle, what should I do next? Do I still want to go to Startling Rainbow Valley?”

Yu Hongye thought for a moment and said, “Hongye, you’ve grown up. Your Second Uncle is very gratified. Let me teach you another move. If you encounter such a thing, it’s best to ask for Senior Liu’s opinion. If Senior Liu gives a direct answer, then follow Senior Liu’s instructions. If Senior Liu doesn’t give an answer, then guess Senior Liu’s intentions. If Senior Liu doesn’t give an answer, then you also can’t guess Senior Liu’s intentions. Then, either you don’t participate in this matter, or you’re a bit thick-skinned and take the initiative to ask Senior Liu.”

“Anyway, you’re a girl, so it’s really rude of you. I don’t think Senior Liu will blame you. Hongye, as the future successor of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, you still have a lot to learn. I’ll teach you slowly in the future. And when you stay by Senior Liu’s side, you can consult him humbly. As an Immortal, Senior has experienced countless storms and waves. You will definitely benefit greatly.”

Yu Hongye was confused. Yu Mingzhi knew that what he said to her was somewhat profound.

She asked, “Second Uncle, do you want me to go and ask Senior Li personally?”

“Yes. When you go, you have to pay attention to the way you ask. You’ve served Senior Liu for a while before, so you should know what to do better than me.”

Yu Hongye continued asking, “Didn’t Second Uncle say that he wants to see Senior Liu? Do you want to go and take a look this time?”

Yu Mingzhi mumbled, “I’m not going. I’ve thought about it. It’s not suitable for me to go to him.”

“Oh? Why?”

Yu Hongye was very puzzled.

Yu Mingzhi was just like his name. ‘Mingzhi’ meant ‘knowing’.

As the smartest person in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Yu Mingzhi’s words must have a deep meaning.

Yu Hongye knew that at this time, if she didn’t understand, she had to ask.

Knowing was knowing. Not knowing was not knowing.

Yu Mingzhi laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha.”

“Yu Hongye, there’s something you don’t know. The matter you’re asking is of great importance. As your elder, it’s not appropriate for me to go with you. If I go with you, Senior Liu will think that I’m the one who ordered him to do it. This will cause Senior Liu’s impression of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to worsen.”

“How can a big shot like me, a nobody, be the one to tell him what to do?”

“But Hongye, you’re different. You used to be Senior Liu’s maid, and you’re close to him. So it’s most appropriate for you to ask for Senior Liu’s opinion. At the critical moment, you can even offer your body. Wouldn’t it be troublesome for me to be by your side?”

Hearing Yu Mingzhi’s words, Yu Hongye’s face flushed red.

“Second Uncle, Senior won’t be interested in me… Hahahaha, Senior Liu isn’t interested in me. You should know better.”

Yu Hongye recalled the days when she was Senior Liu’s maid, and all kinds of details of her life flashed through her mind.

It seemed that Senior Liu really had such thoughts about her…

Her body couldn’t help but become hot.

…

“You’re here. Come in and talk.”

Liu Changgong quite liked the obedient little girl in front of him, even though she still disguised herself as a man.

However, she was also a powerful female cultivator.

Liu Changgong was influenced by cultivators all day long, and he didn’t like women in the Mortal World.

Therefore, when Liu Changgong saw Yu Hongye outside the door, he was very happy.

Beautiful women, even if they disguised themselves as men, were very eye-catching.

Moreover, he was very surprised.

Wasn’t she preparing for the treasure gathering?

Why did she come looking for him again?

Last time, Yu Hongye was very generous with the painting, so at this moment, in Liu Changgong’s eyes, Yu Hongye was like his benefactor.

Since the benefactor came, of course, he had to treat her well.

After all, most of the spirit stones he earned in the future came from Yu Hongye.

Qi’er and Xia’er were still waiting for him to provide them with cultivation resources.

This time, Yu Hongye might have brought some business with him.

This time, Liu Changgong’s attitude toward Yu Hongye was much better than before.

“Really, this Junior has come to disturb Senior again.”

Yu Hongye was as respectful to Liu Changgong as always.

Liu Changgong liked her even more.

Who didn’t like a girl who gave him money and was polite and well-behaved?

“Are you here because something went wrong with the painting last time?”

Liu Changgong was just asking casually.

He actually wanted to ask if there was any business to cooperate with, such as painting another painting or something.

As an ‘elegant scholar’, if he took the initiative to mention the painting, not only would it remind Yu Hongye that he could continue to cooperate with her, but it would also prevent Yu Hongye from being too reserved and not daring to ask for a painting.

Having been in the cultivation world for more than 20 years, the originally unsophisticated Liu Changgong had become much more tactful.
