Chapter 44: Thank You, Senior, for the Great Gift

“How… how did Young Master know about Potato Chips?”

Jiang Nongqin stared blankly at Lin Xun, her moist eyes seemingly ready to devour him inch by inch.

“Oh, that.” Cold sweat started beading on Lin Xun’s forehead!

This is bad!

It was all because the meme “The Wind is Too Rowdy” was too infectious, causing him to fall into habitual thinking!

But then again, he was just enjoying the scenery. Who knew Nong Qin would suddenly blurt out that sentence!

“Potato Chips? They’re slices of Sweet Potato, baked. They taste great,” Lin Xun lied casually. “When I was studying years ago, a masked brother saved my life and made this food.”

To prevent Jiang Nongqin from asking what “Half Price” was all about, Lin Xun continued his explanation.

“As for ‘Half Price,’ that’s what that brother said. He said, ‘Potato Chips are only truly Potato Chips when they are Half Price,’ though I don’t really know what he meant.”

Listening to Lin Xun’s explanation, Jiang Nongqin lightly bit her red lip with her pearly teeth, clearly unconvinced by his story!

But his explanation was not without merit, and she couldn’t refute it, especially since His Highness was currently undergoing trials in the world, making such an encounter normal.

But, truly… was it really such a coincidence?

Jiang Nongqin: “When did Young Master Lin meet that Young Master?”

Lin Xun thought for a moment: “About four years ago. I don’t remember the exact time.”

Jiang Nongqin asked again: “Does that Young Master have a Scar on his waist and a birthmark on his buttock?”

“Shit!”

Lin Xun was stunned. How did Nong Qin know?

Could Nong Qin have secretly watched me bathe?

No, when I go back this time, I must remove the Scar and the birthmark. I can’t leave any clues.

“I wouldn’t know about that. After all, I only met that Young Master once.” Lin Xun turned his head and asked, “Does Miss Nongqin know that brother?”

“Yes.” Jiang Nongqin raised her head, looking directly into Lin Xun’s eyes, which were overflowing with tenderness. “He is the most important person in Nong Qin’s life.”

Lin Xun felt a little guilty under her gaze: “Hahaha, Miss Nongqin must be joking again.”

Nong Qin remained silent, merely curving her eyes into a smile, yet that smile made people feel a pang of heartache.

Just as the atmosphere between the two became slightly subtle, a burst of exclamations sounded from the transport Flying Boat.

Lin Xun and Nong Qin looked into the distance, where a corner of the Zilin Holy Land was already displayed before everyone.

Spiritual Qi swirled, Immortal Cranes came and went, and clouds and mist drifted. One after another, Immortals flew past the Flying Boat, controlling Magical Artifacts or Flying Swords, resembling a realm of Immortals.

Lin Xun and the other Mortals were dropped off at the foot of Guest Peak. With Lin Xun were nine hundred other ordinary Mortals from the Qian Kingdom.

A total of one thousand Commoners from the Qian Kingdom came here to observe the ceremony, which was a form of “shared celebration.” For these thousand Commoners, this might be the closest they would ever get to the Immortals in their hearts.

After the celebration, they would each receive a Spirit Fruit. This Spirit Fruit was not extremely precious, but it could prolong life, and if sold, it would be enough to make an ordinary family prosperous for a lifetime.

The Outer Sect Disciples of the Zilin Holy Land were responsible for guiding the thousand Mortals to the Main Peak. These Outer Sect Disciples were clearly new initiates; their sense of superiority wasn’t strong yet. Some were even teary-eyed upon seeing fellow Mortals from their hometowns, and they were very enthusiastic along the way.

Of course, most of the enthusiasm was directed toward Nong Qin.

Although the female Cultivators felt inferior when comparing their ‘Assets’ to Nong Qin’s, the male Cultivators were very hospitable.

They were afraid Nong Qin wouldn’t remember every blade of grass and tree in the Zilin Holy Land, so they rushed to explain everything.

This made the chests of the newly initiated female Cultivators heave violently in anger.

Humph! Men are all trash!

But they quickly noticed Lin Xun.

Among the thousand people, there were quite a few Scholars, but a Scholar this handsome was truly rare!

Furthermore, his calm and refined scholarly demeanor brought tears to the eyes of these young maidens, who had been initiated for less than a year, averaged under fourteen years old, and were experiencing their first stirrings of love.

He was truly too handsome!

“Young Master, may I know your name?”

“The Young Master is named Lin Pei. Your name is very pleasant.”

“Brother Lin, I wonder if Brother Lin will be free after the ceremony? Could I take a stroll with Brother Lin?”

Many female Cultivators kept trying to strike up a conversation with Lin Xun.

Lin Xun found it amusing, because they had only entered the Zilin Holy Land less than half a year ago and had just barely started cultivating, so their Mortal World Aura had not yet faded.

But in a few more years, if they saw a “Mortal” like him again, they would probably forget who he was.

Cultivation, Cultivation… severing oneself from the Mortal World in the end, is that truly Cultivation?

Was his former self, who single-mindedly pursued power, truly cultivating?

In comparison, perhaps girls who haven’t severed their ties to the Mortal World are more likable.

Lin Xun felt a sudden realization, but then, accidentally triggered the Great Dao.

Above Lin Xun, clouds rolled together, and the Spiritual Power of the Zilin Holy Land continuously gathered above his head. Bursts of Immortal Dao Sounds echoed out!

At the same time, Cultivators from various sects who came to attend the Zilin Grand Ceremony all looked towards the same spot! Their hearts were filled with shock!

“May I ask which Senior has come to observe the ceremony? Please take a seat at the Main Peak.”

The Vice Saint Lord of the Zilin Holy Land flew into the sky, bowed towards Lin Xun’s direction, and his Dharma voice spread throughout the Zilin Holy Land.

Lin Xun, who had accidentally caused a Phenomenon, felt a little awkward and quickly dispersed the continuously gathering Spiritual Power.

As the Spiritual Power dispersed, wisps of Dao Rhyme swept across the entire Zilin Holy Land like a spring breeze. Everyone, to varying degrees, gained enlightenment under the influence of this Dao Rhyme breeze.

“Thank you, Senior, for the great gift.”

The Vice Saint Lord of the Zilin Holy Land, Fang Jianqiu, who was already in the Immortal Realm, gave a deep bow, extremely excited. Under the influence of the Dao Rhyme, he also gained enlightenment. If he didn’t still need to manage the ceremony affairs, he would have immediately gone into seclusion.

Lin Xun got a Headache.

He was originally from the Demonic Sect and was at odds with these prestigious orthodox sects, yet now he had given them Dao Rhyme. Ah, this…

“Thank you, Senior.”

Many practitioners who gained enlightenment also bowed, their voices echoing throughout the entire Zilin Holy Land.

However, this Senior still did not reveal himself, but Fang Jianqiu did not press the matter.

After all, since the Senior gave them Dao Rhyme, it meant he wasn’t an enemy. It was normal for a Reclusive Expert to want to keep a low profile.

Lin Xun and his group continued walking towards the Main Peak’s Observation Plaza, but the topic of conversation shifted, with everyone guessing who that expert Senior was.

Just when Lin Xun thought the matter had settled down, he suddenly felt a soft area against his back.

“Young Master, excuse me,” Nong Qin apologized.

“It’s fine, Miss Nongqin. Be careful not to fall.” Lin Xun smiled, steadied Nong Qin’s shoulder, and then turned to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Nong Qin’s Apricot Eyes were moist.

Clutched in her palm was a warm, dark red Spiritual Pearl.

“This Spiritual Pearl was made by the Saintess. If His Highness Lin Xun uses Spiritual Power, this Spiritual Pearl will activate, and the closer it is, the redder its color will become.”

In Nong Qin’s mind, the words of Sister Wormwood kept repeating.

Anxiously opening her palm and looking down, the Spiritual Pearl was already blood-red… 【Thank you to the wealthy overlord “Nansheng Qianmeng Xi” for the 10,000 Qidian coin reward~~~
