Chapter 39: There Is Such An Operation In The World?
“Are you sure you’re giving this to me?” Li Nianfan was intrigued by the seed. He wanted to know what could grow out of it.
Zhao Shanhe saw that Li Nianfan was interested. He trembled with joy and said, “Mr. Li, there’s no use letting anyone keep this other than you. Who knows, it might have died a long time ago. You deserve to keep this.”
Li Nianfan thought for a while and nodded. “That’s true, some efforts are needed to save this seed. I’m afraid not many people can do that, and it’d be a pity if it is dead. I’ll keep this.”
This seed was indeed extraordinary that even the expert said he needed some effort to save it. How would anyone else be able to do it?
Zhao Shanhe could not hide the grin on his face. This seed was useless in his possession. Who would have thought that it would be appreciated by the expert? It was worth it, so worth it!
The others looked at him with envy. They felt bitter in their hearts. This guy was just lucky.
In an instant, the scene fell into a brief silence. Li Nianfan sat on the stool looking at the five cultivators opposite him. He was waiting for them to ask for favors. They were being so kind-hearted and had brought over so many precious elixirs. Of course, Li Nianfan had to give them something in return. However, after waiting for a long while, none of them asked for favors.
This was awkward.
It would be weird for him to start by offering them a painting, right? This would depreciate the value of the art, and only the most self-absorbed people would offer to give out their paintings. It seemed inappropriate to keep them for dinner, either. It was only in the afternoon, and there was still some time until dinner time, but if he invited them out, it would seem even more inappropriate.
Little did he know that the five cultivators were feeling more uneasy than he was. They could not keep calm at all.
‘Why’s the expert staring at us?’
‘Did we offend him?’
‘Argh! What should we do? I feel so pressured! I might pee my pants anytime.’
Under the gaze of Li Nianfan, they felt completely exposed. They even started to believe that Li Nianfan could read their minds.
In short, it was terrible!
It was only for a short moment, yet their backs were soaked in sweat.
“Oh, right. The tea leaves in my backyard have matured. Why don’t you all bring some home?” Since they did not ask for a painting, Li Nianfan finally thought of what he could give them in return.
The cultivators paid attention to their cultivation from within, and tea leaves were appreciated among the community of the cultivators. Li Nianfan knew that his self-planted tea leaves were presentable and that they would not embarrass him.
Bai Wuchen and the rest felt so relieved hearing that. They thanked him with delight, “Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you, Mr. Li!”
‘The tea leaves must be special, or else, Mr. Li wouldn’t have hesitated for so long to finally decide on giving them to us. Furthermore, even the watermelon and congee were extraordinary. How great would the tea leaves be?’
‘It’s likely to be an immortal item!’
‘We must’ve touched him with our sincerity so much that he’s willing to part with his precious tea leaves and share some with us.’
