C20 – He Was Perfect

“First, we need to find an extremely cold place, then get all these materials ready and place the True Yang Golden Crow into the formation.”

Xie Qian said as he handed the note he had just finished to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan took it over and had a good look. Listed on it were the Mirror Moon Jade, Green Wood Demon Blood, Fish Scale Lotus Seeds, and the Mountain and Sea Treasure Heart, together with their specific locations and the methods to obtain them. Down below was a drawing of the formation and the specific steps to create it.

So Xie Qian had been writing about these things just now…

But he had been writing things even before Liu Yuan had entered the pavilion.

In other words, Xie Qian knew Liu Yuan would come and that he would be needing this note.

Besides, he looked very calm and not at all surprised when Liu Yuan came.

“Can he predict the future?”

A bold guess popped up in Liu Yuan’s mind. If that was really the case, then Xie Qian’s cultivation level was definitely higher than what he had imagined.

Xie Qian simply ignored Liu Yuan’s probing gaze and said with a smile, “I’m impressed not just because you know quite a lot about my ability and paintings.”

Liu Yuan was surprised. ‘If not, then what is it?’

“It seems that you haven’t even realized the reason.”

Xie Qian’s gaze turned deeper and meaningful. “Originally I had planned to make you choose how to deal with the scrolls. If you give one to Yuan Kaiji, then you’d be doing the Fusang tribe a big favor. If you trade the scroll with him, then you’d get the True Yang Golden Crow…”

Xie Qian shook his head and laughed, “But I didn’t expect that you would actually choose trade the painting first before giving an extra one away as a gift. It’s very clever. This way, they will think more highly of you. You’ve killed two birds with one stone.”

“Yeah, you are right. That’s what I thought.” Liu Yuan replied blankly as he petted the True Yang Golden Crow in his hand.

But deep down, he was quite embarrassed.

Actually, he gave them an extra scroll on the spur of the moment… He just wanted to be chivalrous in front of that pretty girl. That was all.

That being said, given the status of these two people in Fusang Sea, they could probably be of great help to him if he went there one day.

Besides, the Experience Scrolls were not his but Xie Qian’s anyway, so it didn’t hurt much when he gave them away.

Xie Qian continued, “One might think this is merely a coincidence, but everything happens for a reason. Suppose you were greedy or had a grudge because of Yuan Kaiji’s previous actions, then things would have turned out completely different. But you didn’t. That’s what makes you a wise man.”

Liu Yuan didn’t know how to respond to such high praise.

He could just reply with a friendly smile.

It must have been the maximum favorability points that made Xie Qian think so highly of him.

Just like that, Xie Qian had been praising Liu Yuan over and over again for a long time. Whatever Liu Yuan did, Xie Qian could always find words to compliment him.

For instance, Liu Yuan folded the note and put it into Yue Longzhang’s storage bag.

Xie Qian would say, “How meticulous you are!”

Liu Yuan did not know how to properly taste tea, so he just picked up the cup and drank it all at one gulp.

Xie Qian would say, “Hmm, you don’t care about trivial details. What a carefree man!”

In a word, Liu Yuan was perfect.

Liu Yuan found this kind of funny. This Xie Qian reminded him of his former teacher.

She could find the deepest connotations even in the simplest sentences, which was incredible.

“Master Xie, I have taken up too much of your time already. I really should go now.”

Liu Yuan braced himself and interrupted Xie Qian’s endless praise.

Xie Qian paused to look approvingly at Liu Yuan and then continued, “You are indeed very calm and patient, humble and respectable, not at all affected by the words of others. This is rare.”

Seeing that he was about to sing the praises again, Liu Yuan quickly cut in, “Oh right, I suddenly remembered that my clothes are still hanging outside. Looks like it is going to rain soon. I have to hurry back and get them inside.”

Puzzled, Xie Qian looked outside. The sun was shining brightly.

“Oh my friend, how wise of you! So you are saying that when things reach the extreme, they will develop in the opposite direction…”

“I’ll be leaving first! See you!”

Liu Yuan ran away in panic. Damn it, he really couldn’t stand the way that this man was praising him! He was crazy!

Xie Qian just sat there and watched Liu Yuan run away. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Interesting.”

He thought for a while, then unfolded another piece of paper and picked up the brush.

He dipped it in ink and started to write.

“Wild geese tread on the snow, and Zhuang Zhou dreams of becoming a butterfly.”

One couldn’t tell for whom he wrote the verse.

After he finished, he placed the brush on the table and carefully looked at the verse for a while. In a daze, he sighed, “Something is destined. One can do nothing about it.”

The man just sat in the pavilion alone with his long hair hanging loosely. It was as if he had experienced all the vicissitudes of time.



Liu Yuan stepped out of the residence and greeted the young guard named Shaoying, saying that he would come and visit his master when he had the time

Although the Experience Scrolls were great, he couldn’t stand the embarrassment of being praised non-stop by Xie Qian.

Shaoying scratched his head and replied awkwardly, “Oh… okay.”

The guard had never met anyone who said they would come often to visit his master before.

Usually visitors would storm out furiously, just like the two a moment ago.

Did this young man in front of him have a thing for being scolded and humiliated?

Shaoying glanced at Liu Yuan suspiciously, but the latter had already turned around and left.

Next time, he must ask him.



Since he was in town, Liu Yuan took the opportunity to stroll around this place. It was not much different from the game, but he certainly felt different being here in person.

To be honest, Liu Yuan felt really lucky to be able to actually see the characters and places of the game that he liked.

Furthermore, he got the Experience Scrolls and a pet, which made him even happier.

That was until he reached the entrance of the manor.

Liu Yuan paused in his tracks. When he thought about having to deal with the two girls, the happy smile on his face immediately vanished.

He took a deep breath and cheered himself on, “Come on, be a man! You’ve already dealt with them before and they both have the maximum favorability points for you. So why do you have to be afraid of them? As long as you maintain your good image and act properly, you will be fine.”

After his little pep talk, Liu Yuan was again full of confidence. He held his head high and strode towards his room.

On the way, Liu Yuan began to recall his story with Ning Xiangrong.

“Let me think, back then Ning Xiangrong was still in the Water Moon Dock. She was a young lady from the Immortal Sect who had never set her foot outside. She had been living like a princess ever since she was born, and she had sufficient resources, so she could stay focused on her cultivation. She was used to being followed by those who were inferior than her. That’s why she might appear cold and arrogant, but in reality, she has a pure, innocent heart.”

“At that time, in order to make her show her real self, I chose to steal her clothes while she was taking a bath. In that shameful state, it would be easier for her to reveal her true feelings. Besides, unlike others around her, I never spoiled her; instead, I was strict with her. This way, I managed to give her a completely different and new experience.”

“Simply put, those who passively follow the rules all the time are more likely to be attracted to those who deviate from the norms and rebel against orthodoxy.”
