Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 62: Grand master

This voice was familiar to me since...it was the voice of Lin Li Zi, my little sister.

I didn’t even need to turn back to know what she was referring to.

It was the courtyard that had been destroyed by Liu Ao Xue’s father.

I had reacted the same way when I had returned from the city, so it wasn’t strange that she would react in the same way.

It didn’t take long for Lin Li Zi to come over to find all of us gathered here. But she just ignored everyone as she came to me to ask, "Big brother, what did you do this time?"

A bitter smile crept in my face the moment that I heard this.

It seemed that I had the image of an unreliable big brother in the mind of my little sister. So much so that her first thought was that I had caused this mess. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But for once, I wasn’t the one who had caused this mess.

It was that Elder Mo and that Breaking Fist Sect that had caused this large mess.

Though if one thought about it carefully...the Fifth Guardian Lord was the one that had created that large mess with a flick of his finger. And on top of that, I was the one that had summoned the Fifth Guardian Lord.

So in a roundabout way, it could be said that I was the one that had caused all of this.

No, there was one thing that I refused to take responsibility for since that was the one thing that was definitely not my fault.

The one who destroyed my courtyard was Liu Ao Xue’s father. I definitely wouldn’t take the blame for that!

I even had to get compensation from him for that still!

So I turned to look at Elder Tian and Liu Ao Xue’s father who were just standing there in a daze.

The two of them immediately snapped out of their daze when they saw me looking over and they revealed worried looks.

They weren’t really worried about me, but rather they were worried about...

If I were to say anything, then it would mean that the Fifth Guardian Lord would act.

They were afraid of the Fifth Guardian Lord since he was just too strong for them to do anything against.

I could see this, but I didn’t expose them in the end as I said, "We were attacked by the Breaking Fist Sect that I told you about the other day. They brought a powerful Core Formation Realm Expert, but we were able to stop them in the end thanks to the help of the elder and the grand master."

The two of them were surprised to hear this, but they secretly let out sighs of relief as they realized that I wasn’t going to hold a grudge against them.

I could have held that grudge, but I knew that there was nothing to gain from holding that grudge. After all, it would just cause a rift in my relationship with Liu Ao Xue and that was the last thing that I wanted.

So I would give them a bit of face and cover this up for them.

Lin Li Zi asked in a confused voice, "Grand master? He is the grand master?"

With a nod, I said, "Un, he is my master’s father, so he’s my grand master."

Lin Li Zi quickly revealed a look of understanding when she heard this before quickly bowing to Liu Ao Xue’s father and saying, "Hello, grand master."

Even Liu Ao Xue’s father was someone who was very stern against men who approached his daughter, that didn’t mean that this was all his personality was. When a cute little girl like this was greeting him, he couldn’t help thinking of when his own daughter was young.

So he reached his hand out and patted Lin Li Zi on the head with a smile before saying, "Good little girl, you’re just what the Falling Star Sect needs in the future."

This was a hidden jab at me which I immediately recognized, but I let it go since...I had something else that I was planning.

This was the main reason why I had helped him cover this up in the first place.

So with a smile, I said, "Of course your grand master will also give you a greeting gift like he gave me."

As soon as I said this, Lin Li Zi’s eyes lit up.

I knew the personality of this little girl, she was a greedy one.

If she heard that there would be a gift, then she would never let it go.

Not to mention, it wasn’t my money this time, so I didn’t care if she took this or not.

Liu Ao Xue’s father immediately revealed an ugly look when he heard this, but I just looked at him with a smug look as if I was daring him to do anything.

Liu Ao Xue’s father slowly turned to look at the Fifth Guardian Lord who was standing there silently before giving a sigh. He took out a sword and said, "This is a special Sixth Grade Artifact, it should protect you when you’re in danger."

There had been a part of Liu Ao Xue’s father who had hoped that Lin Li Zi would be tactful enough to reject on his behalf, but that didn’t come to pass as she quickly reached out to take the sword that he gave her.

With the way that she took it, there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face.

She was just as shameless as her brother...

It seemed like he really was corrupting this cute little girl...

After taking it, Lin Li Zi said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, grand master."

Though everyone could see how quickly her hand moved as she brought the sword behind her, as if she was afraid that someone would take it from her.

I just watched all of this with a smile on my face.

I’ll take this as compensation for what you did with my courtyard.
