Chapter 433: Was This the Legendary Test?

Ling Chuxi could not resist feeling slightly curious. Who exactly was this person? Why did he show up here? Was it really a chance encounter with her? She had heard before that quite a few experts that were beyond this world liked to use this method to probe a person’s character. Could it be that she had met one? Ling Chuxi stroked her chin as she pondered about this.

In most of the cliché legends, it was because the protagonist had passed the expert’s test, he received guidance from the expert to reach the heavens in a single step since then. Had she really encountered such a cliché thing? Then, who was this old man really? He actually used such a method to test her. He was truly a weirdo too.

“Turns out you are Ling Chuxi. The number one among the younger generation of Nan Xia Country.” At this moment the old man turned his head and squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at Ling Chuxi, somewhat praising her.

“I am Ling Chuxi. But that thing about the number one among the younger generation is just a rumor from the outside world.” Although the other party had an appearance of a ‘local rich man’, his cultivation was still there. ‘Now that I have passed the test already, does this mean that he will acknowledge me too? It will not be too bad to have an additional backer too.’ Ling Chuxi was pleased with herself as she thought in her heart. Then she asked with a humility like never before. “Senior, may I ask if you were trying to probe my character earlier on?”

“Character? Probe your character my a*s. How can I probe your character if I don’t even know who you are? I’ve just forgotten to bring money along with me.” The old man said with a depressed face.

“…” Ling Chuxi choked. ‘Da*n. He has just wasted my expression. I thought that he was trying to probe my character. And I thought that my extraordinary talent had caught the eye of an expert. I have come forward purposely and in the end it was just a blunder. He just forgot to bring his money, that’s all. What probing from the legends, they are all lies!’

“But it was fortunate to have met you. Otherwise I would have greatly lost my reputation today. Such a kind-hearted person like you is not commonly seen among the young people today.” The old man lamented after that.

“Senior, you have overpraised me. Root out the strong and help the weak. This is our duty as cultivators.” Ling Chuxi’s face did not redden in the slightest and said with a strong sense of righteousness.

“Not bad. Not bad.” The old man nodded continuously in admiration. His eyes were narrowed into a slit as he smiled. It was unknown if he would still be so full of admiration if he knew why Ling Chuxi had foot the bill for him, besides having pity on him, the main reason was that she was afraid that he would be beaten up and vomited everywhere which would affect her appetite.

“Senior, I have not asked you for advice on how I should address you.” Ling Chuxi asked. It was still a thigh anyhow, a big, thick thigh. She planned to draw their relationship closer first and decide later, regardless of whether she was going to hug the thigh or not.

“I am Mo Kongyuan!” The old man puffed his chest with his domineering aura seeping from his sides. He was clearly quite conceited with his own name.

“Ahh. Turns out it is you, Mister Mo. I have long been admiring you!” Ling Chuxi exclaimed in all seriousness. But the shock on her face could only be described with one word. ‘Fake! It’s too fake!’

“You actually have not heard of me before?” The old man could see through the perfunctory tone and asked in confusion.

“This junior is ignorant and ill-informed.” Ling Chuxi laughed and said truthfully this time.

“You can’t be blamed too. I have not meddled with worldly affairs these few years. Fearfully there aren’t many people left who know me.” The old man was like an eggplant hit by frost and had withered away. His heart was wounded, truly wounded at this moment.

“Let’s go. Come and take a seat in my house first.” Mo Kongyuan regained his senses from the blow very quickly and said to Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi did not decline again this time. ‘It would be a good thing to know where this old man stays. If I do meet Ye Qianhe again and I am scurrying everywhere like a headless housefly, I will run to his house by all means… Spit spit spit. Crow’s beak!’ Ling Chuxi spat a few times at herself deep down, and followed the old man as he walked away.
