I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master

He thought that Jianglu must have lost the treasure in his hands to Yu Hongye. He was worried that the elders in his family would scold him, but he did not dare to ask for the treasure back.

Liu Changgong felt a little ashamed.

After all, it was because he had given Yu Hongye the calligraphy paintings that Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi had lost all the treasures.

Then Yu Hongye was originally a businessman. What kind of bet did they have with her?

Liu Changgong thought that he could use his calligraphy to compensate Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi. Maybe in the future, he would be able to have more patrons who would buy calligraphy and paintings.

When Jianglu heard Liu Changgong's words, he was so moved that he was about to cry.

What was the demeanor of a master?

This was the demeanor of a master.

This Senior Liu was really modest, being so polite to the two of them at the Dharma Idol stage.

Not only did he personally brew tea to welcome them, but he would also compensate them for his subordinates stealing their opportunities.

And Senior Liu's calligraphy was exactly what they needed.

The value of that calligraphy was countless times higher than the value of the Sword Immortal's inheritance.

Liu Changgong didn't say much.

He put away the chessboard, placed the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and prepared to write a piece of calligraphy for Jianglu and the others.

The Weiqi was on the table, and she used her small hands to grind the ink for Liu Changgong with all her might.

When Liu Changgong saw the cute look of the Weiqi, he stroked the head of the Qi'er lovingly.

When he was done preparing the report, Liu Changgong raised the brush and began to write.

Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi were at the side.

Jianglu also noticed the brush in Liu Changgong's hand, which was also an immortal artifact!

Jianglu was shocked.

At the same time, Liu Changgong also began to show his calligraphy skills.

Liu Changgong's brush stroke was like a dragon and a snake, and he easily began to write on the rice paper with the brush in hand.

When Liu Changgong finished writing his last stroke, the words were also completed.

"Fortune lies where misfortune lies, and misfortune lies where fortune lies."

Jianglu looked at the words on the paper and seemed to be deep in thought.

It seemed that Senior meant that misfortune and fortune depended on each other.

Don't regret losing the opportunity of the Sword Immortal's inheritance. You might even get a bigger opportunity because of it.

Jianglu's thoughts raced.

No matter what, Senior Liu's gift of calligraphy was a great thing for the Dao Constellation Palace.

It was a blessing in disguise.

Jianglu didn't have much interest in the opportunity to begin with. He had come for Senior Liu.

The calligraphy that Senior Liu had given him was much more valuable than the Sword Immortal's legacy.

Jianglu quickly pulled Lou Hongzhi, who was in a daze, and solemnly bowed to Liu Changgong.

"Senior, I understand your deep meaning."

Liu Changgong nodded.

That Jianglu was quite clever, and it suited his appetite.

He had hinted to him not to feel pity or heartache for losing a few magic treasures in a bet, but in the end, he suddenly understood.

Liu Changgong knew that his calligraphy and paintings had a certain value, so he was confident that he would use his calligraphy as compensation.

The result was also in line with Liu Changgong's expectations.

After the ink dried, Jianglu carefully put away the calligraphy.

Lou Hongzhi, on the other hand, looked at the calligraphy in Jianglu's hand with envy.

"Seeing Senior again, my wish has been fulfilled, so I won't bother you anymore. Come again next time."

Jianglu took his leave.

Lou Hongzhi was very anxious, but he was forcefully dragged out of the small courtyard by Jianglu.

After leaving the door, Lou Hongzhi said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you let me talk to Senior Li about learning calligraphy?"

Jianglu smiled and said, "Brother Lou, your personality is too straightforward. Previously, when you entered the door, you made a request to Senior, which was not in accordance with the rules."

"After that, Senior gave us a painting, which already had the intention of driving us away."

"That Senior lives in seclusion here in order to not be disturbed by others. Our visit this time has already disturbed Senior's peace and quiet."

"Senior heard your request, but did not mention the matter of you learning calligraphy from him. If Senior did not mention it, what use would it be for Brother Lou to say it?"

Lou Hongzhi was puzzled:

"You mean, Senior rejected my request?"

Jianglu smiled bitterly. "Aiya, Brother Lou, can't you think more about it? Senior did not mention that matter, but it doesn't mean that he rejected it."

Lou Hongzhi listened to Jianglu's explanation and started to think.

"Brother Jiang, do you mean that Senior didn't give an answer because he wanted to test me and see my attitude?"

Jianglu listened to Lou Hongzhi's words. He said with relief, "Brother Lou is right. Anyway, it depends on Senior's intention. When Brother Lou left just now, I stopped when things were going well. The first time I made a request, that kind of peerless master wouldn't agree unless it was especially to his liking. However, when we were in the Starling Rainbow Valley, we did not help Miss Yu. Otherwise, making a request would be reasonable. This matter, we can take it slowly in the future. I don't think senior has any intention of objecting."

After Jianglu finished speaking, he saw Lou Hongzhi had a puzzled look. He knew that there was no point in talking about it, so he simply changed the topic.

"Brother Lou, let's not discuss this. I have something important to do, and I need to return to the sect immediately. Brother Lou, you can make other plans, or follow me."

Lou Hongzhi said resolutely, "No, I must follow this Senior. Even if I have to clean the toilets for him, it's fine."

Jianglu looked at Lou Hongzhi's appearance and knew that it was useless to say anything now.

"I hope Brother Lou can succeed and obtain the Senior's approval. I'll leave first. After dealing with the sect's matters, I'll come back to look for Brother Lou."

Jianglu didn't say anything more. He soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

Lou Hongzhi watched Jianglu leave. He turned around and looked at the new signboard of the small courtyard.

The new signboard still had the Dao rhythm flowing on it. However, Lou Hongzhi could no longer gain any more insights from that Dao rhythm.

A good horse doesn't return to its roots. The same principle applied to immortal cultivation.

Moreover, he had already damaged the signboard of the small courtyard because he had absorbed the Dao rhythm. Now, it wasn't appropriate to take an inch and take a mile.

Lou Hongzhi looked into the distance again, smiled indifferently, and muttered, "Brother Jiang, you are so smart that you are being fooled by your cleverness. Senior is so unfathomable. You don't know how to seize the time to follow him and instead go on some sect mission. Although I only have the Dao of the sword in my heart, and everything I do is related to the sword, and I don't understand the ways of the world, I also know that the most important thing at this moment is to know Senior's approval. Now, who is the one who can't see the situation clearly? The way of the sword is to press forward and never hesitate."

With that, Lou Hongzhi fell into deep thought.

When he visited that peerless expert just now, he understood one thing: You need to use your brain to do things.

"How can I let Senior see my sincerity and approve of me?"

"Can't kneel in a small courtyard? Seems a bit vulgar."

"Give Senior a peerless treasure? It doesn't seem like Senior needs that kind of thing?"

"It seems like I can only show my determination to learn painting from that Senior."

...

Central Plains, Dao Constellation Palace.

A streak of light descended in front of the Great Hall of the Dao Constellation Palace.

On both sides of the hall door were welcoming Dao Constellation Palace disciples.

"Welcome, Senior Brother Jianglu!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jianglu!"

Seeing each Dao Constellation Palace disciple greet Jianglu, Jianglu also responded one by one.
