LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 325
“Why would you ask that?” Lin Beifan’s expression quickly turned grave.
Seeing this, Mo Yuyan became even more nervous, “I just want to know! Because so far, I don’t know much about my senior! Is this question very important? Does it concern Great Xia’s secrets?”
“Of course!”
Then Lin Beifan stretched out his hand.
Mo Yuyan was confused, “What for?”
“The Divine Dragon Bone Pill, how can I tell you without it?” Lin Beifan said impatiently.
“Oh…” Mo Yuyan immediately took out a pill and handed it to Lin Beifan.
After receiving the pill, Lin Beifan sighed, “Originally, I didn’t want to talk about this because it’s a major issue that concerns the safety of our Great Xia! But now you are a retainer of Great Xia and have a close relationship with your senior, so you deserve to know!”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Mo Yuyan nodded repeatedly, her palms tightly clenched, sweating with excitement.
A big secret was about to be revealed to her!Nervous! Excited! Thrilled!
“Where should I start…” Lin Beifan frowned, seemingly unsure of how to begin.
“Don’t rush and take your time. I have plenty of it!” Mo Yuyan said.
Finally, Lin Beifan seemed to have thought it through and said, “Mo Yuyan, let me put it this way… the senior behind you has a very close relationship with Great Xia!”
Mo Yuyan’s eyes lit up; her long-held suspicions were indeed correct!
Senior indeed has a close relationship with Great Xia!
No wonder I was asked to join Great Xia right after breaking through to Grandmaster!
Mo Yuyan was very excited, and then she blinked rapidly at Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan blinked back.
Mo Yuyan continued blinking: “And then?”
Lin Beifan blinked in confusion: “…then what?”
Mo Yuyan said: “Keep going, tell me more!”
Lin Beifan spread his hands: “That’s it!”
Mo Yuyan was dumbfounded: “That’s all?”
Lin Beifan nodded: “Yeah!”
Mo Yuyan got angry: “…for just that answer, you tricked me out of my Divine Dragon Bone Pill?”
“Isn’t that enough?”
Lin Beifan retorted: “You should know, in the whole world, besides you, only I am aware of this matter! This is a top secret. If it got out, who knows how much impact it would have, it could even change the world’s power dynamic!”
Mo Yuyan was extremely frustrated: “That’s true, but I still feel like I’ve lost out. Give me back my pill, or I’ll fight you!”
Lin Beifan scoffed: “How would you fight me?”
“I’ll come to the imperial palace every day, harass your beloved consorts, and prevent you from getting into bed with them!”
Lin Beifan trembled with rage: “You’re so vicious! Fine, fine, considering how ruthless you are, I will benevolently share a piece of news with you!”
“Spill it!” Mo Yuyan urged.
Lin Beifan said: “The senior behind you and Great Xia are connected just like Li Tiancheng is to the Demon Sect, or Shenxu is to the Taoist Sect. You get it now?”
Mo Yuyan’s eyes lit up again: “I get it!”
The explanation was very straightforward, essentially telling her that although the senior did not hold an official position in Great Xia, his status was extremely revered, and he wielded great power; essentially, he called the shots for the entire nation.
In other words, although she was a retainer for Great Xia, she had actually been working for the senior all along.
Well, that made her feel much better.
Mo Yuyan painfully took out a second Divine Dragon Bone Pill: “I have another question!”
Lin Beifan took the pill and asked: “What’s the question?”
“I want to know… what does the senior look like?” Mo Yuyan shyly lowered her head.
Lin Beifan gave her a strange look: “That’s your second question?”
“Yes!” Mo Yuyan nodded repeatedly.
“You’ve been with the senior for so long and you don’t know what he looks like?” Lin Beifan asked ‘doubtfully’.
Mo Yuyan blushed even more: “Although I’ve known the senior for a long time, I’ve never seen his face! He must have his reasons, but I still really want to know!”
Lin Beifan shook his head: “Since the senior doesn’t show his true face, then I certainly cannot reveal it!”
Mo Yuyan: “…”
“Tell me!” Mo Yuyan demanded.
Lin Beifan sighed: “You women are really superficial, caring so much about a person’s appearance! Since you really want to know, then I will tell you. Listen carefully!”
“Uh-huh, what does senior look like?” Mo Yuyan was full of anticipation.
“I mean, that senior… simply calling him handsome won’t do him justice. He has an extraordinary aura, dignified bearing, graceful demeanor, and a perfect blend of good appearance and intelligence that could captivate the hearts of countless women!” Lin Beifan shamelessly boasted.
“Really?” Mo Yuyan became dreamy.
Recalling the face she had touched before, she felt it probably resembled that description.
“Is there more? Keep going!”
“Keep going?”
Lin Beifan was troubled: “The appearance of that senior truly cannot be expressed in words! There are thousands of words in the world, but all combined, they still can’t describe one ten-thousandth of the senior’s appearance! Anyone who has seen him feels ashamed of their own inferiority!”
“Mmm-mmh!” Mo Yuyan nodded excitedly.
What Lin Beifan described was exactly as she had imagined.
Only such a face and demeanor were worthy of the senior she admired in her heart.
But upon further thought, she realized that although Lin Beifan had said a lot, it was all just empty talk.
He hadn’t actually described what the senior looked like or any specific features.
So, she urged him again: “What you said just now is too abstract. Can you simplify it and make it more specific?”
“Simplify it, make it more specific?”
Lin Beifan frowned: “That’s a tall order, but I’ll try my best! The senior looks like…”
“What does he looks like?” Mo Yuyan asked again.
Lin Beifan proudly lifted his head: “He looks exactly like me!”
Mo Yuyan: “…”
“If you really don’t know what the senior looks like, don’t worry and don’t fret. Just think of my face, and you’ll be satisfied!” Lin Beifan said with a serious face.
Mo Yuyan: “…”
“Your Majesty, you’re so shameless! Who praises themselves like that? I don’t want to talk to you anymore!” Mo Yuyan left in a huff.
Lin Beifan shook his head and sighed: “These days, no one believes the truth!”
…
After sending the curious Mo Yuyan away, Lin Beifan, holding two Divine Dragon Bone Pills, went to Four Seasons Valley to give them to Liu Wanqing and her mother, who was researching medicine, hoping they could figure out the pill formula.
If so, Great Xia would have the opportunity to mass-produce the Divine Dragon Bone Pills.
It’s worth mentioning here that Liu Wanqing had long been married to Lin Beifan and was conferred the title of Consort Wan by him.
Since she wanted to tend the medicinal garden and accompany her mother, she usually lived in Four Seasons Valley.
After arriving, Lin Beifan also stayed for the night.
“Don’t work so hard. Look how haggard you’ve become!” Lin Beifan said with concern, looking at the somewhat thin Liu Wanqing.
Liu Wanqing shook her head and smiled gently: “Your Majesty, it’s nothing! These days, Great Xia has a high demand for medicinal pills, so I’ve been working a bit harder! Once everyone is cultivated, it will be much easier!”
They looked towards the medicinal garden, where many people were tending to it.
They were both the slaves of the garden and its apprentices.
“In any case, you need to rest. You must not overexert yourself because the pills can wait!”
Lin Beifan said again: “You are very important to Great Xia, to me. I can’t be without you!”
“Mmmh-hmm!” Liu Wanqing nodded sweetly, walked over, leaned her head on Lin Beifan’s shoulder, wrapped her arms around his waist, and gazed quietly towards the direction of the rising sun, enjoying this peaceful moment.
Liu’s mother saw this, smiled secretly, and quietly left.
Just then, a powerful aura erupted in the distance.
Liu Wanqing furrowed her brow: “Such a strong aura, this is…”
Lin Beifan smiled: “This is good news. Someone has made a breakthrough!”
“But even with a breakthrough, it couldn’t be such a powerful aura!”
“Because someone has broken through to Grandmaster level, and it’s a Grandmaster from our Great Xia!”
The strong ones near the capital city all felt this aura and showed shocked expressions.
“Is this… someone breaking through to Grandmaster?”
“Such a strong aura, it’s definitely right! I’ve felt this kind of aura from the Sword Elder and the Peerless Spear Immortal before. It gives one an invincible feeling!”
“Then the question is, who is the one who broke through to Grandmaster?”
Everyone rushed toward the direction of that imposing aura.
Unknowingly, they arrived at the volcanic crater near Great Xia, the place now known as the Sword Forging Valley.
The aura was emanating from within.
“This is Master Ouyezi’s Sword Forging Valley!”
“The breakthrough aura was actually coming from inside, and it still lingers!”
“Could it be… Master Ouyezi has made a breakthrough?”
Everyone exchanged glances in wonder.
Just then, a burly figure with strong limbs wielding a large hammer walked out and laughed heartily, “That’s right, I have indeed made a breakthrough. I am now a Grandmaster!”
“We pay our respects to Master Ouyezi!” The crowd said in unison, their tone filled with great respect.
“No need for such formalities, everyone, please. There’s no need for such courtesy, haha…” Master Ouyezi seemed somewhat embarrassed by this show of respect, which was completely different from before.
Previously, everyone admired him for his craftsmanship. Although they spoke with respect, they still maintained a balanced stance.
But now, they were utterly submissive to his power.
As a Grandmaster, a top-tier powerhouse of the current age, one commands attention and receives great respect wherever they go!
