“I don’t know what you’re talking about! We came up with this idea on our own.” Luo Shiyu remained calm and pretended to look confused.

She regretted asking Lin Qingyun to come along. She was very observant and not easily fooled. Most importantly, Luo Shiyu did not expect to come across Li Nianfan today, revealing his identity to Lin Qingyun. She had initially decided that she would never reveal anything about this expert to her.

“Shiyu, we’re like sisters, so don’t you hide things from me.” Lin Qingyun’s eyes sparkled as she smiled. “If you were the one who came up with this strategy, you wouldn’t have asked for my help at the Lingyun Immortal Court. I rushed over right away after hearing from you, but now that you’ve found another solution, you’ve decided to ditch me?”

She could tell right away what Luo Shiyu was trying to do. It was obvious that the Nation Master and the Prime Minister would fight against one another, weakening both their forces. This strategy was very impressive. She was certain that Luo Shiyu had the help of a genius.

“You offered your help in exchange for the Dragon Fire Pearl of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty,” Luo Shiyu said calmly.

“The Dragon Fire Pearl is the treasure of the dynasty. Why would I want it? All I wanted was to borrow it for a while. Some of our disciples from the Lingyun Immortal Court needed it to break through the realm of Golden Core.”

To progress from the realm of Foundation Building to Golden Core, one needed to condense fire into the Golden Core first. The Ganlong Immortal Dynasty’s Dragon Fire Pearl was able to induce the fire and flame that could help one elevate into the Golden Core realm. This treasure could produce batches of Golden Core cultivators, which was what founded the Ganglong Immortal Dynasty.

“Well, sorry to have troubled you. I’ve already found a solution and no longer require your help.” Luo Shiyu shook her head.

Without the help of Li Nianfan, Luo Shiyu would have no choice but to lend the Dragon Fire Pearl to Lin Qingyun. Once the item was given up, it would be very difficult for her to get it back. Of course, she would not lend it to her now.

“Well, forget about the Dragon Fire Pearl. Just tell me if the man just now was the expert who provided you with this strategy. You wouldn’t want me to have come all the way here for nothing, right?” Lin Qingyun said pitifully while studying Luo Shiyu’s face.

“No!” Luo Shiyu shook her head and looked at Lin Qingyun frankly, or so it appeared.

“Alright, I understand.” Lin Qingyun nodded and bid farewell to Luo Shiyu. Her lips curled up slightly as she gazed at a mountain not far from the town, which was the direction Li Nianfan walked toward.

“Luo Shiyu, you thought you concealed it well didn’t you? But the calmer you appeared, the more troubled you seemed! That man seems interesting. I must check him out!”

The next morning, Lin Qingyun made her way to the mountain Li Nianfan resided in. Although he seemed like an ordinary man, Lin Qingyun saw the look of adoration on Luo Shiyu’s face. She did not dare to neglect this visit so she dressed up nicely.

Could an ordinary man save a woman from death? And could a random piece of advice from him save the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty from danger? What kind of expert was he? Was he really an ordinary man?

Lin Qingyun was not a fool. In fact, she was a smart woman. She had a feeling that this discovery might turn out to be the most impressive discovery she had ever made.

At the foot of the mountain, she saw mists and clouds hovering above. She felt strangely tensed as if the man she was about to visit was not an ordinary man but a hidden bigshot!
