The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 63 - Heartbeat Want to Learn

Where’s your shame? Just who raised this girl?

How can she be… so infuriating.

Xie Jiuniang began to chat again, “Don’t think that I made a lot of money, I just earned a bit of hard-earned cash, alright.”

At this remark, the little Immortal Crane squatting next to her actually nodded in agreement.

That’s when Xie Jiuniang remembered the little Immortal Crane.

So, she took out two red fruits, gnawed on one herself, and handed one to the little Immortal Crane.

She then gathered up a pile of junk, only selecting about twenty items to display outside, transitioning from actively running her stall to a more Buddha-like approach.

She leaned back against the little Immortal Crane, kicked up her legs, and nibbled on a Spirit Fruit leisurely.

Some disciples saw that no one had been buying for a long time, found it uninteresting, and thus turned to watch the fights in the arena.

Gradually, the crowd dispersed.

The sun set, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.

At a prominent spot on the plaza atop Battle Peak Summit, there was a girl just over ten years old, leaning against a little Immortal Crane.

In front of them was a spread of a large black cloth.

On the black cloth lay a variety of old odds and ends.

Passersby would glance and then hurry off.

Until dusk approached, Xie Jiuniang hadn’t sold a single item.

The Outer Sect Disciples were abuzz that the things Xie Jiuniang sold were practically all trash.

Even the few lucky ones who didn’t lose money barely made any, as the probability of acquiring good items was too small. It was only the appearance of the two prodigies from the Inner Sect that people talked about for a long time.

In addition, many people were focused on what kind of treasure Lin Wangchen had bought with that small jade bottle.

The others who bought items found that everything was trash; they went back to their abodes, activated their formations, and checked each item one by one.

The final result was naturally…

Trash!

Just as they had seen it at first glance, all of it was worthless junk not worth a single Spirit Stone.

They should have believed their own judgment, yet their eyes were blinded by the opportunity of the Child of Destiny, preferring to gamble on a vague chance for a huge opportunity rather than trusting themselves.

Opportunities in the Cultivation World are exceedingly hard to come by.

Over ninety percent of cultivators search their whole lives without finding a single opportunity before their lifespan runs out.

But then, a Child of Destiny appeared.

Here was a darling of the Heavenly Dao with endless opportunities, someone who had a one hundred percent chance of ascending.

How could people not be tempted?!

Instead of aimlessly searching for opportunities, it was much easier to follow in the wake of the Child of Destiny and pick up what was left behind. They didn’t need much; just one opportunity was enough to last them a lifetime.

But…

That damn Little Profiteer!

She couldn’t possibly be the Child of Destiny, so cheap and shameless. By comparison, Xie Ying seemed more like it with her cold, unworldly air.

Who misled them at the time?

Was it Mo Chuan?

Mo Chuan didn’t buy anything today!

Fuck!

That Mo Chuan, completely a person with a hole in his brain.

They decided to investigate the rumors.

In the Inner Sect’s Fafeng, a direct disciple’s abode, a minor overseer of the Outer Sect was reporting the results of the investigation to Lin Wangchen.

The overseer reported, “The lampstand that Gongsun Yu exchanged for is a fake, the Buddha’s Green Lamp was a rumor—The Gongsun Family has already dispatched people to investigate the source.”

Followed by this, he mentioned the incident of two disciples from the Gongsun Family attempting to rob Xie Jiuniang.

“So you mean to say, there’s no such thing as a treasure?” Lin Wangchen waved his hand to dismiss the overseer and took out the small jade bottle.

Inside, there was only half a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water, which was why spiritual energy would overflow when Xie Jiuniang opened the bottle cap. It wasn’t worth a thousand Spirit Stones.

And yet he had spent two hundred and ninety million.

After a considerable time, the small jade bottle was carelessly tossed into a corner.

He had been duped.

Lin Wangchen instantly thought of Mo Chuan.

So, the Soul-Nourishing Wood was most likely fake too, bait set by Mo Chuan to lure him into the trap, sparing no expense.

A real madman!

Now they both were worse for wear.

It turned out to be a case of the snipe and the clam grappling, with the fisherman reaping the benefits—the little girl made a tidy profit.

…

Xie Jiu’niang rode the Immortal Crane back to Sihao Mountain, telling the Little Immortal Crane to pick her up again the next morning to prepare for setting up her stall on Battle Peak Summit at dawn.

She would keep it up until no one showed any interest.

Just as she was about to enter her cave-dwelling,

a date fruit hit her on the head.

Jian Lingyan reminded her, “Master, it’s Mo Chuan; he’s up on the big tree.”

Xie Jiu’niang looked up.

There Mo Chuan was, reclining on a horizontal branch, one foot on the tree bark, the other hanging loosely, occasionally swinging it.

The hem of his garment fluttered with the wind, exuding a relaxed charm.

Xie Jiu’niang and Jian Lingyan gossiped, “Why do men always love to climb trees? Elder Chaoyan was doing the same earlier.”

“Perhaps it’s a good vantage point for posing?” Jian Lingyan guessed.

Xie Jiu’niang, bound by Sect rules, approached with proper decorum to pay her respects, “Outer Sect Disciple Xie Jiu’niang, greets Uncle Master Mo.”

“You’re quite obedient now,” Mo Chuan found her proper demeanor more pleasant than when she was cunningly deceiving him.

Mo Chuan leapt down from the tree, and in a moment, drifted in front of her.

His posture was as upright as a bamboo.

Xie Jiu’niang had to look up to meet his gaze.

Imagine the picture of their height difference: 148cm and 186cm standing together.

It had the sensation of an adult standing with a child.

Mo Chuan slowly lifted his right arm, his hand with well-defined joints holding a leaf, and with a twist of his wrist, he flicked the leaf out sharply.

It instantly killed a Demonic Beast Hummingbird lurking dozens of feet away.

Xie Jiu’niang felt a chill in her heart.

The Hummingbird was extremely small and good at hiding.

Surrounded by trees and thickets, the area around the cave dwelling was crowded with birds and insects, and with the Hummingbird concealed among them, it was like a drop of water merging into the sea. Cultivators usually contracted Hummingbirds for scouting and surveillance purposes.

Simultaneously.

In a certain cave dwelling of Sihao Peak.

The moment the Hummingbird died, its owner immediately suffered from contract backlash, vomiting blood, pale-faced. He hastily took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, “Uncle Master Lin, my Contracted Beast has been killed. The last image it transmitted back was of Uncle Master Mo Chuan…”

Lin Wangchen quickly got the message.

Mo Chuan had gone to Sihao Mountain?

The two of them seemed to have met yesterday, when Mo Chuan intervened to save Xie Jiu’niang from danger.

At present, Xie Jiu’niang had a very small chance of being the Child of Destiny, and for Mo Chuan to use this as another plot against Lin was not possible.

What, then, was Mo Chuan up to?

Even if Lin Wangchen hadn’t got anything from Xie Jiu’niang’s hands, he still hadn’t completely let go of his suspicions.

He always felt that something was off.

What Lin Wangchen didn’t know was that the conspiracy he imagined didn’t exist at all.

Mo Chuan’s image of the pride of heaven was completely gone.

He was very down-to-earth as he asked Xie Jiu’niang for compensation for killing the Hummingbird.

Xie Jiu’niang had thought in past life this man was lofty and noble, a man of integrity, a genuine fairy proud as a representative of the Cultivation World. Today, she realized she had been blind.

He had a thousand faces for a thousand people.

The cold and aloof blue-garbed man during the examination period, the Beast Healer of the Crane Garden with a detached air, the gentle and amiable Big Senior Brother of Danfeng.

The shameless and unscrupulous man in front of her?

Xie Jiu’niang suddenly thought of his flawless disguising skills…

She was tempted, wanting to learn.

If she could master this skill, it would be much more convenient for her future endeavors, such as committing arson or murder while disguised as Lin Wangchen—the thought was exhilarating.

Unfortunately, the man was her enemy, one of those on her list for revenge.

It wasn’t easy to bring up the subject.

And even if she did, he might not necessarily teach her.
