I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

rrifying chess game!” Qin Manyun said with a complex look, her eyes showing a hint of sadness.

“What is it?” Gu Ziyao frowned.

“The expert said that many things of both ordinary men and cultivators were predetermined since birth, but that isn’t the main point.
The main point is the metaphor he used,” Qin Manyun said with deep amazement in her eyes.
There was a hint of terror and bitterness.

She continued with a trembling voice, “Think about it, Immortals are more powerful than cultivators.
Surely there’d be ‘second-generation’ Immortals! We spend our whole lives cultivating for longevity, but the children of Immortals are born as Immortals! So, if everything has been predetermined, what’s the point of working so hard? Do you think he was referring to the bridge to Immortality?”

Qin Manyun was shocked by her own speculation.
The moment she heard herself saying that, she felt a cold sweat coming, as if she had just discovered a big secret that would cost her life.

She was overwhelmed with emotions.
‘So, the expert has told everyone the greatest secret of the Immortal Realm.
He truly is playing a chess game with another force.
I’m so lucky to be a chess piece of his.
This is my greatest pleasure!’ Qin Manyun thought to herself.

As for Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu, their faces had turned pale.
Their heads were about to explode and the thought of impending danger sent chills all over them.

The bridge to Immortality had been broken.
This affected them more than anyone else.
Their father was a Mahayala cultivator and they would often hear him sighing to himself, as if he could not see any path in front of him.

Gu Ziyu could not help but mumble to himself, “So, what you’re saying is that someone’s stopping us from Immortalizing for the benefit of their children?”

“Enough! That’s enough!” Gu Ziyao’s beautiful eyes glared at Gu Ziyu to stop him.
“Ziyu, remember this.
Don’t tell anyone about this conversation.
Let me speak to father.
Pretend you heard nothing.”

She then bowed at Qin Manyun formally.
“We’d like to make an ambitious request to meet the expert.
I hope Sister Manyun will introduce us to him.”

Qin Manyun said, “I’ll go back to see how the expert feels about this.
I’ll let you know the answer tomorrow.”

Gu Ziyao said with gratitude, “Thank you!”

Qin Manyun smiled.
“It’s my pleasure.
Don’t worry, since the expert was willing to tell all this to Ziyu, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind meeting you both.”

…

Qin Manyun left Azure Ville and rushed to the Immortal Guest House.
On the way there, she saw Li Nianfan and Daji shopping among the crowd.
Instantly, she found a space to land on and pretended to bump into them.

She smiled.
“Oh! Hey, Mr.
Li! What a coincidence.”

Li Nianfan smiled at Qin Manyun.
“Hello, Miss Manyun.
You’re back!”

“Yeah, I just visited a friend of mine,” Qin Manyun nodded.
Seeing that Li Nianfan was looking at silk from a shop, she asked, “Mr.
Li’s choosing some cloth?”

“That’s right.
I’m planning to make Daji some clothes.
Unfortunately, the colors are too limited here.
I can’t find the one I like.” Li Nianfan sighed.
“Never mind.”

Another hint!

How could she forget about the most basic need? What a miss!

Qin Manyun’s lips curved up slightly.
She was excited.
It was yet another opportunity to impress the expert!
