Chapter 85 - Age of Cultivators (1/2)

Lin Luoran thought that the two old men were collaborating with each other. However, Grandpa Guo doesn’t agree with Grandpa Mu as she expected. He says, “Mu, don’t you know how old we are? It’s awkward for us old men to talk about this in front of the younger generation. Just drop it!”

Grandpa Mu is embarra.s.sed. Lin Luoran feels great respect for Grandpa Guo who is seriously injured and waiting for a cure. If she were in his position, she would not be able to stay calm.

The thing is, Lin Luoran herself is just an amateur. Even Grandpa Mu, who is in the level of Laying Foundation, can not get the injury under control, she doesn’t believe that she can — with the Reiki she refines when she has not completed the level of Training Qi? How ridiculous! If it was not for the bead, she wouldn’t manage to save Baojia’s life.

Lin Luoran puts down the teacup, “Grandpas, I have brought the jade here… But, the injury of Grandpa Guo…”

Grandpa Guo waves his hand, “It’s already a big favor of you to give me the priceless jade for free. How can I make my injury your responsibility? …Mu and the others did have other plans when they tried to get closer with you, but they only did this for my wellbeing. Miss Lin, please don’t mind.”

Mu Tiannan is embarra.s.sed just like his grandpa is. However, Lin Luoran is not surprised by the whole planned thing.

She is not a spoiled girl and she never believes that there is unprovoked love or hatred in the world. She noticed the problem when Mu Tiannan suddenly changed his “malevolent” att.i.tude.

If she does have a mysterious and powerful master, she can absolutely ignore the invitation of the special department and the request of the Mu family for her help. A saying goes that absolute power prevails over strategy. If she is under the wings of the most powerful master, it will all be up to her mood whether she takes notice of them or not.

Nevertheless, Lin Luoran is the only one who knows that she doesn’t have a master who is in the level of Bearing Essence at all. Before she becomes strong enough, she will have to leak some information about her so-called “master” so that no one will have doubts.

Now, hearing Grandpa Guo’s words, Lin Luoran switches the topic, “The Fragrant Hills is a picturesque place, and the gra.s.s and trees here are filled with Reiki. It is a nice place for cultivation in the mortal world. The Mu family really has made a good choice.”

Noticing that Lin Luoran tries to change the subject, Grandpa Mu asks, “I guess that it is the first time Miss Lin has come to the Fragrant Hills. How about us two old men give you a tour around?”

Lin Luoran gladly agrees. It’s so much better to enjoy the scenery than just sit still.

Mu Tiannan’s mouth crumples, “What about me?”

Grandpa Mu gives a ferocious glance at his grandson. Mu Tiannan dares not to badger and he leaves with the teacups.

Grandpa Guo stands up first, “Miss Lin, Mu and I are much older than you. How about we call you Luoran?”

Lin Luoran lunges to her feet and nods, “Of course, Grandpa Guo. You can call me whatever you want.” Mu and Guo here are the only living high-level cultivators in the State of Huaxia. Not only do they have deeper cultivation, they are also much older than her, so what they call her is really not a problem.

The three of them walk out of the straw hut and go up the hill along the path. Tall sumaches block out the sun. Fragrant Hills will be taken over by those red leaves in autumn.
