Chapter 128: Even if the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets Is To Be a Chess Piece, It Must Be Senior Liu’s Most Important Chess Piece!

The middle-aged man listened to Yu Hongye’s words. His hand stopped in mid-air, and the expression on his face was very interesting.

It kept changing.

The middle-aged man finally let out a long sigh. He put down his hanging hand and said helplessly, “Fine, who asked you to be Big Brother’s daughter? I’ll trust you one more time. Bring the painting over for me to see.”

Only then did Yu Hongye feel relieved. Then, she beamed and handed over the painting scroll.

The middle-aged man looked at the mischievous Yu Hongye. He glared at Yu Hongye in annoyance.

As he took the painting scroll, he sneered:

“I’d like to take a look. This Immortal World Almighty’s painting that you mentioned better be worth the 200 million top-grade spirit stones!”

The middle-aged man specially emphasized the words ‘Immortal World Almighty’.

The sarcasm in his words was obvious.

He seemed to have seen Yu Hongye’s blush of shame.

However, Yu Hongye was not at all worried.

‘Hmph, stubborn duck,’ the middle-aged man thought to himself.

The middle-aged man picked up the scroll and opened it very casually.

However, when he opened a corner of the scroll, his heart beat violently.

When the painting was fully unfolded, the middle-aged man’s expression completely changed.

“This, this…”

It was unbelievable.

The middle-aged man’s expression was dull, and he was extremely shocked.

He wiped his eyes.

He seemed to feel that the contents of the painting caught him off guard, so much so that he completely did not believe that everything that happened before his eyes was real.

The middle-aged man maintained the posture of holding the painting with both hands.

His eyes were fixed on it.

The spiritual energy around his body began to boil.

It even triggered the restriction in the hall.

A series of explosive sounds were emitted.

Yu Hongye was forced back by this wild spiritual energy storm, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

However, she was ecstatic in her heart.

‘Now, Second Uncle should believe what I said, right?’

The spiritual energy in the middle-aged man’s body churned more and more violently..

In the end, the boiling spiritual power reached its boiling point.

With a ‘keng’ sound, it was completely released. Only then did the middle-aged man wake up.

“This, just what kind of expert did this?” The middle-aged man exclaimed a few times, his face full of shock.

His mind was unsettled, and it was difficult for him to suppress his excitement.

His first reaction was to look for where Yu Hongye was.

However, he saw that the hall was in a mess.

Yu Hongye’s sweet laughter came from outside the door.

“Second Uncle, I’m hiding outside. You’re making too much noise. I’m afraid of getting hurt.”

“Outrageous!” the middle-aged man cursed in frustration.

Then, as if he had found a treasure, he carefully put away the painting in his hand and put it in his pocket. Then, with a flash, he flashed out of the hall and out of the door.

“Second Uncle, slow down. Don’t damage the painting.”

Yu Hongye reached out her hand, wanting to grab the painting in the middle-aged man’s hand.

However, her hand was pushed away by the middle-aged man’s palm.

The middle-aged man glared at her fiercely.

“I know better than you how to keep such a treasure.”

Yu Hongye curled her lips and stuck out her little tongue to show her dissatisfaction.

After the middle-aged man put away the painting scroll, he asked anxiously, “Tell me quickly, who is the creator of this painting?”

Yu Hongye unhurriedly took out her fan, shook it a few times, and teased, “Second Uncle, if I remember correctly, didn’t you just look down on this painting that doesn’t even have any spiritual energy? You said that I was lying to you. Why are you asking about the painter again?”

The middle-aged man’s dark old face also turned red. He said in embarrassment and anger, “Don’t talk about this matter anymore. Quickly tell me the owner of the painting. This matter is of great importance and can not be delayed.”

Yu Hongye pouted and said, “Here, isn’t there a signature on the lower right corner of the painting?”

The middle-aged man only then remembered and opened the painting to take a few more glances.

Very soon, he pressed on.

“Who exactly is this Senior Liu?”

Yu Hongye shook his head and said, “I’m not sure… Second Uncle, don’t stare at me. I’m afraid… I don’t know Senior Liu’s exact identity either. However, according to my guess, Senior Liu must be a mighty figure from the Immortal World who has descended to the Mortal World. Even Lord Xinghe from the Brahma Holy Land would obediently call Senior Liu ‘senior’ when he sees him.”

The middle-aged man sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Hiss…”

The middle-aged man said in shock, “You’ve even met Sacred Lord Brahma?”

Yu Hongye nodded and replied, “It was thanks to Sacred Lord Brahma that I was fortunate enough to meet this Senior Liu.”

The middle-aged man had an expression of disbelief as he asked, “Where exactly is that Senior Liu now?”

“Not far from the foot of the Grand Moon Sect’s Mount Taiyin. There is a small courtyard where Senior Liu is living in seclusion.”

“Immediately, immediately, bring me to pay my respects to Senior! There is no time to lose.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly urged Yu Hongye.

But Yu Hongye dissuaded the middle-aged man.

“Second Uncle, Senior Liu doesn’t seem to want too many people to know that he is living in seclusion on Mount Taiyin. He doesn’t even mention his own identity, and has always considered himself as a mortal. I’ve visited him many times, and I’ve already crossed the line. If Second Uncle goes over again, I’m afraid he’ll anger that Senior.”

The middle-aged man was very helpless, and he changed his words. “Alright, if you say you won’t go, then I won’t go.”

Yu Hongye saw the middle-aged man’s arrogant and respectful manner, and she laughed complacently.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man asked, “Such an unfathomable Immortal Realm big shot actually wants to obtain Immortal Jade through our small Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Why did he go through so much trouble this time?”

Yu Hongye replied, “Perhaps it was an emergency. A single cent can not defeat a hero. It is normal for an Immortal Jade to defeat a mighty figure of the Immortal World.”

The middle-aged man denied Yu Hongye’s idea.

“Impossible. Even if there is a real need for Immortal Jade, with Senior Liu’s cultivation, he naturally has countless ways to obtain Immortal Jade.”

“Very simple examples. For example, those ancient immortal residences that have yet to be discovered by ordinary cultivators. For Senior Liu, it is as easy as taking something out of a bag. As long as he enters those ancient immortal residences, wouldn’t there be a large number of Immortal Jade?”

After hearing the middle-aged man’s analysis, Yu Hongye couldn’t help but frown.

She seemed to be deep in thought.

“Then, Second Uncle, tell me, what exactly is Senior Liu going through all this trouble for?”

“It’s hard to say. How can a cultivator with a low cultivation base like me be able to guess the thoughts of such a powerful figure who possesses heaven-defying abilities? Perhaps, Senior Liu is planning something. There is a high chance that Senior Liu is playing a very big game of chess, including the entire Southern Domain and even the entire human world! Our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets might just be an insignificant chess piece for him.”

“If it weren’t for you, Hongye, who happened to visit Senior Liu, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets might not even be qualified to be Senior Liu’s chess piece.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered as he carefully analyzed Liu Changgong’s ‘purpose’.

Yu Hongye deeply agreed.

“Since Second Uncle said so, then, Second Uncle, what should we do next?”

The middle-aged man faintly smiled.

Then, he earnestly said to Yu Hongye, “The next plan is very simple.”

“Of course, it’s for you and Senior Liu to continue to maintain a good relationship and continuously raise your weight in his heart.”

“As a result, you will increase the importance of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets as a chess piece in Senior Liu’s heart.”

“Even if the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is a chess piece, it has to be the most important chess piece!”
