Genshin Impact: A Martial Arts Master's Journey to Teyvat
Chapter 41 Gift
Lingkong attached great importance to being a guest at Shangqun Yu Pavilion. As there was still a morning left, he and Paimeng were shopping and choosing gifts.
Lingkong: "What kind of gift should we choose? Ningguang might not even appreciate an ordinary vulgar thing, and it would seem that we don't value her."
Pai Meng: "Ningguang is the richest person in Liyue. What has she not seen? By the way, what would the richest person like?"
Lingkong: "I was thinking about this as well. Rich people might like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the like."
Pai Meng: "We can't afford antiques, and we don't have the money to buy precious and rare calligraphy and paintings."
Lingkong: "Let me draw a picture. After all, it's my own work, and it shows my sincerity."
Pai Meng: "Is this really possible? Ningguang will like children's graffiti?"
A group of people in front were watching something, and from time to time there could be sounds of laughter and noise.
Lingkong: "Paimeng, go see what's happening ahead."
Pai Meng flew into the air and said, "It's Xingqiu. He's fighting with someone."
Lingkong: "It's him, have you fought him?"
Pai Meng: "No, he seems to be at a disadvantage."
Lingkong jumped directly to the center of the field and saw Xingqiu fighting with a strong man, but now Xingqiu's face was slightly red and he was obviously struggling.
The sturdy man grinned and said, "You little bastard, do you think my Iron Armor Divine Skills were practiced in vain? You dare to ruin the business of the Fu Hai Gang, today I will make you pay for it."
Xingqiu: "Humph, if I had a sword in my hand, I don't believe you would still be able to laugh."
The strong man said: "Damn, you have no ability, why are you pretending to be so great? Since you can't do anything to me, I will take the title deed away. The house is mine."
Lingkong: "Young Master Xingqiu, I have a sword!"
Strong man: "Fuck you, stop meddling in other people's business."
Lingkong: "I just like to meddle in other people's business. Paimeng, take out the sword."
Strong man: "Stop him!"
All the younger brothers rushed forward, and after the melee, only three of them were left standing.
Lingkong slapped the sturdy man on the face: "I gave you face, right?"
The sturdy man wanted to fight back, but was kicked in the crotch and could only fall to the ground holding his crotch.
He took out the deed and said, "I accept the defeat."
Xingqiu: "Thank you very much, brother. I didn't expect to see you again so soon since we last met."
Lingkong: "Well, it was the last time we met."
These words made Xingqiu stunned for a moment.
Pai Meng: "Xingqiu, is this Fu Hai Gang doing bad things again?"
Xingqiu: “Yes, he was a man who owed gambling debts. He disappeared and left his gambling debts to his family. Only his widow and children were left. These thugs also took away the house deeds to pay off the debts.”
Pai Meng: “These people are so mean.”
Xingqiu: "Well, let's not talk about that for now. How are you two doing in Liyue lately?"
Lingkong: "Fortunately, I am looking for a place where I can write and paint, because I am going to visit an important person's home, so I want to write a painting for her."
Xingqiu: "If you don't mind, I can lend you my study."
Pai Meng: “Is this appropriate?”
Xingqiu: “It’s okay.”
When he arrived at Xingqiu's mansion, servants would call him "Young Master" from time to time.
Pai Meng was surprised and said, "So Xingqiu is the eldest son of a wealthy family."
Xingqiu: "I'm sorry, Brother Ling, I concealed my identity when I first met you."
Lingkong: "Of course you have to be more cautious when traveling in the martial arts world. I understand that."
Xingqiu: “To be honest, my father is the president of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.”
Pai Meng: "He is indeed a young master, and a top-notch one at that."
Lingkong: "Young Hero Xingqiu was born in a wealthy family, but he always has a chivalrous heart. It is really admirable."
Xingqiu: "I see that Brother Ling is quite skilled, so he must have learned from a famous master."
Lingkong: "I'm sorry, Master Xing, I can't reveal my master's sect."
You can't say that all his martial arts were taught by the system, right? No one would believe this kind of thing.
But in Xingqiu's eyes, Lingkong has been shrouded in a veil of mystery.
"It's okay. However, since we've fought together, we can be considered friends now," Xingqiu said with a smile.
Lingkong: "Of course I will come to your house if I don't consider you as my friend?"
Xingqiu: "This is my study."
In the spacious study, rows of bookshelves are filled with books. This place does not look like a study but rather like a small library.
Xingqiu: "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all ready. Brother Ling, can I watch from the sidelines?"
Lingkong: "Please do as you please, Mr. Xing."
Time passed bit by bit, and Lingkong's painting was completed. The painting showed the back of a beautiful girl, who was drinking alone under the moon.
There is also a poem written next to it: Song of Water Melody When will the bright moon appear?
Paimeng couldn't understand what he wrote, but the back view he drew looked familiar to her.
Pai Meng: "Is that Ningguang you drew?"
Lingkong: "Well, what do you think of my calligraphy and painting? Will rich lady Ningguang like it?"
Xingqiu: "Brother Ling, can you sell this painting to me?"
Lingkong: "Ah, you want to buy it? No, if you like it, I can draw another one for you."
Xingqiu: "Things are valuable because they are rare. If you do this, the value of this painting will depreciate."
Lingkong laughed and said, "What do you mean by depreciation or not? This is just my graffiti and it's not worth much. Please forgive me for making fun of you."
Pai Meng: "Xingqiu, how much are you going to pay?"
Xingqiu: "I can buy Brother Ling's painting for one million Mora."
Pai Meng: "How much? One million? Lingkong, let's sell the painting."
Lingkong: “But, I have decided to give this painting to Ningguang, and it is really not worth that much.
However, if you like calligraphy and painting, I can draw another one for you."
Xingqiu: "I want a painting of a knight."
Lingkong: "No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
Lingkong drew a picture of a knight facing thousands of troops with only a sword.
There is a poem written next to it: The Knight's Way.
"Good, what a great chivalrous man." Xingqiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "But Brother Ling, neither of your two paintings has a signature."
Lingkong: "That's it. I'm a nobody. No one will recognize me whether I sign my name or not."
Xingqiu: "Brother Ling is no nobody. Your feat of defeating the Wind Dragon in Mondstadt has always fascinated me."
Lingkong: "Haha, Brother Xingqiu is well-informed. I don't have a seal, so forget it."
It is completely shameless to copy someone else's poem and then sign your own name on it.
Xingqiu: “But there’s no signature. It feels like something is missing… Brother Ling…”
Lingkong: “Okay then.” Lingkong drew an official seal with red paint, and the words “Lingkong” were written on it. It looked like a real seal.
You've traveled through time, so if you don't want your face, just forget it.
Xingqiu ordered the butler to frame the two paintings, and asked someone to bring a box of money over: "Brother Ling, this one million Mora, keep it."
Ling Kong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Young Master Xing, this painting really isn't worth that much."
Xingqiu: "If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. Brother Ling, if you don't accept this money, then you don't consider me your friend anymore."
Paimeng still felt like she was dreaming when she came out of Xingqiu's house: "We have earned one million Mora in one go and become millionaires. This money is too easy to make. Lingkong, we can get rich by selling calligraphy and paintings!"
Lingkong: "What's the point of having so much money? You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die.
This time it was just a coincidence, there will be no such opportunity to make money next time. Let's go, we should go to Qun Yu Pavilion for dinner."
