I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 105

Chapter 105 - So That Was The Expert’s Hint!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Manyan started to think quickly.

She remembered that both her teacher and herself were not able to interpret the expert’s hints completely. Hence, they did not receive the music sheet. But… The expert sent them the music sheet!

It was not as simple as it seemed!

Before her teacher went into retreat, he urged her to try and understand every clue the expert gave, to never be careless, and always complete the tasks given by the expert!

She looked at Luo Shiyu and asked with a solemn face, “Shiyu, was there any message for me from Mr. Li?”

Luo Shiyu frowned and shook her head. “I don’t think so.”

“It can’t be. Mr. Li must’ve given me some hints!” Qin Manyun’s frown deepened.

The Holy Emperor said, “Mr. Li did ask us to look out for any big events. Do you know what he meant by that?”

“Big event?” Qin Manyun shook her head, feeling confused.

If only her teacher did not go into retreat. Only he could understand the expert’s deeper implications.

Her understanding was indeed too shallow!

Qin Manyun said, “It seems that this is an obvious hint! There must be something. I’ll ask around. Be it a big event of the ordinary men or the cultivators, we’ll pay close attention regardless.”

The Holy Emperor agreed. “I’ll keep an eye out as well. The event Mr. Li wants to join must be a special one!”

Qin Manyun asked, “Was there anything else Mr. Li said?”

“Probably not,” the Holy Emperor said with uncertainty.

“We have to be certain there’s nothing that we’ve missed!” Qin Manyun shook her head. “If it’s possible, could you tell me everything that happened today? Every word Mr. Li said. Please.”

The Holy Emperor smiled. “Sure. I do want to know if Mr. Li had any other hints. It’s best for all of us to analyze this together so that we can help Mr. Li!”

With that, he and Luo Shiyu started recalling their meeting with Li Nianfan.

Qin Manyun listened with full concentration, analyzing it the way her teacher would. She even took out a pen to write down some notes.

Suddenly, Qin Manyun’s eyes sparkled like never before. She said excitedly, “Say it again! Tell me what Mr. Li just said!”

Luo Shiyu paused slightly. Then, she imitated Li Nianfan’s tone and said, “Well, I don’t have many fancy meals these days. As you know, it hasn’t been very safe recently. I can’t go out so I’ve been eating quite plainly over the last few days.”

“I got it! I got it!” Qin Manyun cried out in excitement as she jotted it down.

Luo Shiyu and the Holy Emperor inched closer as they asked in anticipation, “What is it?”

Qin Manyun drew a line to separate the sentence into two parts. “Look, there are actually two hints in here. First, Mr. Li said it hasn’t been very safe recently, so he can’t go out. The second hint is that he’s been eating quite plainly!”

“Oh, I see! I see!” The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu suddenly realized the hints. They were impressed by Qin Manyun.

No wonder she was the Saintess of the Linxian Palace! What a detailed way of thinking. No wonder they were the expert’s favorite! If it was not for her, they would have missed such an important hint given by the expert, eventually resulting in a crime!

How could they miss such a simple clue! So bad!

“But… Why hasn’t it been safe lately?” Qin Manyun asked curiously.

She had been staying inside the Linxian Palace so she was not aware of what was happening outside.

“If I’m not mistaken, the expert must be referring to the demons,” Luo Shiyu said. “They started having more activities recently, and they’re venturing into the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty territory.”

“Unless… These demons are coming for Mr. Li?” Qin Manyun reasoned out loud. Then, she said decisively, “No matter what, we need to take action! I’ll send some people to find out more about these demons. If possible, we should destroy them all at once!”

Since it was hinted at by the expert, they had to sort it out without any delay!

Instantly, Qin Manyun ordered her men to take action.

Following that, they looked at the second hint. Qin Manyun said, “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Li wants to eat wild meat again—demon meat.”

She knew this well enough. The last time Li Nianfan went hunting, he killed the Silver Moon Demon King!

“I’m beginning to understand!” Luo Shiyu said. “I’ve realized that Mr. Li likes buying fish from a stall in the Fallen Immortal Town market. Recently, a Water Demon has been visiting the Clear Moon Lake which has affected the quality of the fish the fishmonger sells. Mr. Li even complained about not being able to eat fish.”

“How could you forget such an important piece of information!” Qin Manyun’s eyes lit up. She asked, “Is the Water Demon a Fish Demon?”

Luo Shiyu nodded, “I heard it’s an Abalone Demon.”

“Abalone is a fish, too! Mr. Li said he wants to eat fish, he must’ve meant the Abalone Demon!” Qin Manyun’s face was full of awe. “Let’s go to the Clear Moon Lake and hunt down this Abalone right away!”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were excited that they could finally do something for the expert! Just as they were about to leave, the five Elders of the Linxian Palace landed right in front of the palace’s main hall.

The five of them were dressed in grey robes, their long hair and beards blowing with the wind. However, they did not seem too pleased. The eldest man raised his eyebrow at Qin Manyun and asked, “Manyun, I heard you made an order to fight against the demons, is that correct?”

Qin Manyun nodded and said solemnly, “That’s correct. This is an urgent matter and we need to complete it right away!”

“And it’s because of the so-called ‘expert’ you talked about?” the Second Elder asked.

Qin Manyun nodded.

The five Elders frowned in unison.

The Big Elder sighed. “Who is this expert? He convinced our sect master to give him our most precious Thousand-Yeah Black Ice, and now you’re using the entire sect’s manpower to work for him? What for?”

Qin Manyun took a deep breath and said slowly, “The fewer the people who know about the expert, the better. Please, excuse me for not being able to tell you more. All you have to know is that the realm of this expert is beyond Immortal. This will be the biggest opportunity the Linxian Palace has ever had in years.”

Beyond Immortal?

Biggest Opportunity?

The faces of the five Elders darkened. “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

It sounded way too absurd! Even a three-year-old would not believe it!

Yet, the Sect Master and the Saintess said it was so. Hence, they had no choice but to believe them.
