Payne and the others were expressionless. They pretended like they did not hear anything.

They did not know how to answer that question. No matter what the answer was, it would only lead to doom.

Thankfully, the lady did not wait for them to answer it. She raised her chin up slightly and said, “Ha, that’s not enough to be worth it!”

Everyone was silent as they did not know what to reply.

Her red hair flowed in the wind. Her eyes were like flames as she said, “Where does the expert live in the Immortal Realm?”

This could be answered by Gu Yuan!

Gu Yuan jumped and quickly replied, “Near the birth of the Human Sovereign.”

The lady with red hair did not say anything. She glanced snidely at everyone and walked away before she disappeared into the horizon.

Phew.

Everyone sighed in relief.

The Phoenix lady gave them too much pressure. They did not even dare to breathe loudly when she was there. They had to tread carefully in fear that she would burn them with her flames and end them.

Scary, so scary!

That was the Fire Phoenix. Her feathers were burning with Phoenix Fire. Nobody could touch it. Only experts would dare to ride it.

Gasp!

“What are you gasping for?”

“I was too shocked earlier on but the lady was still here so I held it in. I feel much better now that I’ve let it out.”

“I should try it, too.”

Gasp!

“Indeed, I feel much better.”

Gasp—

...

Gu Yuan also gasped. “The expert’s truly an expert. A hint plus a plan. We wouldn’t have seen it coming. I stupidly thought I was being helpful when I sent him the Firefinch Demon. In the end, it ended up as a hen.”

“Nonsense! It’s not stupid. It was smart!” Payne said loudly with a straight face. “Being a cultivator’s all about seizing opportunities. Opportunities are considered luck! How do you get lucky? You gave the expert a Firefinch Demon that could lay eggs which pleased the expert. Here comes your luck, right? What’s the use of hard work? Seizing opportunities is more important! You did well. Good job. Truly my favorite student!”

Gu Yuan was baffled. He said, “Sect Master, I don’t remember you putting it that way previously.”

Payne calmly said, “Are you braindead? Go with the flow and adapt to the situation.”

Gu Yuan did not say anything. He was secretly filled with despise.

In conclusion, he was noble in front of others but was secretly a boot-licker. He hid it so well!

How shameless! No wonder Sect Master Ding disliked him.

Ding Xiaozhu nodded and said, “I agree with that. If it’s an expert like that, just focus on pleasing him. If you have a chance to impress him, do it first, no matter what. If you do it correctly, you’ll please the expert. Even if you do it wrongly, the expert won’t exactly dislike it since it’s genuine effort.”

Gu Yuan suddenly felt his heart drop. How did they say that with straight faces?

How shameless!

He felt pressured to work harder since there were new competitors.

Everyone was thinking of ways to please the expert. Suddenly, Payne had an idea. He laughed loudly as his eyes sparkled.

“I know, I got it!” He was flushed and shaking from excitement. “The expert likes Firefinch Demon eggs, but he only has one Firefinch Demon. How’s that enough? I have five more in my backyard. Give them all to the expert. He’ll be pleased!”

Ding Xiaozhu asked, “Are you sure all the Firefinch Demons can lay eggs?”

“It doesn’t matter if they don’t. The last time, the expert didn’t get the chance to eat ‘turkey’ because the Firefinch Demon suddenly started laying eggs. He must’ve felt like it was a pity. The Firefinch Demons that aren’t able to lay eggs can satiate the expert’s hunger. I’m a genius!”

Payne was excited and chirpy. “Let’s go back and catch the Firefinch Demons for the expert!”

Soon, they arrived at the Azure Ville Sect.

The Firefinch Demons were resting in the backyard garden smugly. They cheerfully discussed how the Sect Master would punish Gu Yuan. Then, they saw Payne walking in with Gu Yuan.

“Huh?”

They were baffled. “Is he going to punish Gu Yuan in front of us? That’s not good... Isn’t it too cruel?”

Smiling, Payne asked, “Everyone, I have a huge opportunity for you all!”

The Firefinch Demons were more baffled. Why did that sound so familiar? They had heard it before. It did not sound right.

“Your leader went ahead of you. Now, you all have to follow suit!”

Payne said, “Those who can lay eggs should practice laying more. Those who can’t should tenderize your meat and make sure it’s juicy.”

Gu Yuan said, “Sect Master, should I gather them up and give them to my grandson in the Immortal Realm so he can give them to the expert?”

“No, we have to show up for something major like this, right? It’s basic respect for the expert!” said Payne.

Gu Yuan said, “But as Immortals, descending to the Immortal Realm will disrupt the natural order. We’ll get punished for it.”

“So what? I’d rather die than not meet the expert! More obstacles are good. It shows that I’m genuine!”

Payne was sure of himself. He said, “Next, gather everyone in the sect. It’s time to plan our trip to the Immortal Realm! It’s been too many years. I wonder what the Immortal Realm has become. So exciting!”

...

At the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

The Holy Emperor stood there with Luo Shiyu for a long time. He sighed heavily and slowly walked toward the mountain.

They looked somewhat troubled.

Luo Shiyu asked, “Dad, the expert has helped us so much. Aren’t we being a little too stingy if we’re only bringing him a jar of alcohol?”

“It’s precisely because the expert has helped us too much that I only brought the alcohol.”

The Holy Emperor shook his head while looking down. He said, “We can’t pay him back for the blessings he gave us. Nothing will be good enough. I’ve thought about it. The expert doesn’t need anything, but it seems like he hasn’t had any alcohol yet, so I brought him a jar of alcohol to show our thoughtfulness.”

Luo Shiyu was feeling sentimental. She reminisced as she said, “I remember when we first got here. I knew if the expert stayed in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, he’d bring us great benefits. But I didn’t expect it to be so great.”

The Human Sovereign was here. He represented the common people. The bridge to immortality was now reconnected, too. That was good news for cultivators. Also, the Human Sovereign was from the Xia Kingdom, which is in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty!

Therefore, the entire Ganlong Immortal Dynasty benefited greatly as a whole. The luck and Spiritual Qi had significantly increased!

They went from being a small sect to a holy ground that was of the same level as the Linxian Palace!

They had been receiving a lot of visitors recently, too. Some came from powerful and famous sects, but the powerful cultivators did not dare to be smug in front of the Holy Emperor.

However, the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were under pressure.

As they walked, Luo Shiyu looked like she was in a daze. She thought about the first time she met the expert.

It seemed like she was the first one to meet the expert...

She suddenly sighed and said, “How nice would it be if things were how it originally was!”
