I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 9: Morning Hearing Great Dao, Evening Death is Acceptable

Fu Ning furrowed his brows slightly.

He had noticed the subtle actions between Cheng Meiniang and Qian Duobao since earlier.

These two were whispering to each other, clearly engaging in some shady dealings.

And now Qian Mingyuan was walking straight towards him.

For no reason, his heart skipped a beat: today might not end well.

Qian Mingyuan looked Fu Ning and Yun Niang up and down.

Even if these two hadn't offended Qian Duobao, they were enough to catch his attention.

Everyone who came to Sitting Oblivion Beach for contemplation was glamorous and outstanding.

But looking at these two in front of him, one was sickly and the other a beggar.

If they really had pearls, wouldn't it be better for them to improve their lives first?

"Present the pearls!"

Qian Mingyuan's voice was cold as he suddenly handed over a jade plate.

The pearls in the plate made a clattering sound.

Like the sound of raindrops hitting a drum, as if playing a song of ambush.

At this moment, Meiniang's coquettish voice sounded: "Scenic Scholar, these two individuals are suspicious. You must thoroughly investigate."

Her eyes sparkled with brilliance, but there was a hint of coldness in her gaze.

With Qian Mingyuan, this Scenic Scholar, taking the lead, how could these two impostors continue to deceive?

Yun Niang, Yun Niang, you will never be able to turn the tables!

In three days, you will be married off to the Zheng family.

It would be best if you could die quickly in the Zheng family.

Then everything you have will belong to me, Cheng Meiniang.

Including the opportunity left by your parents...

A bewitching smile hung on her lips, and with her melodious voice, Qian Duobao's eyes instantly glazed over, his body feeling light as if floating on a cloud.

It also attracted more bootlickers.

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Meiniang is right! Scenic Scholar must thoroughly investigate."

"Scenic Scholar is perceptive and will definitely not let these troublemakers go!"

Cheng Meiniang's favor with Qian Duobao was enough to make these people jealous.

At this moment, they all turned into sled dogs on the Arctic ice.

The lead dog eats well and sleeps well, while the dogs behind become even more jealous.

So they all put in more effort while running.

Qian Duobao was the lead dog, and they were the foolish dogs working behind.

However, in the next moment, these bootlickers were like being choked.

One by one, they looked ahead in disbelief.

They saw Fu Ning open his palm, and on it were six pearls.

Each pearl shimmered with a faint white light, crystal clear and perfectly round.

It was undoubtedly genuine.

"How is this possible?!"

Meiniang widened her almond-shaped eyes, her eyebrows furrowed, and her teeth gnashed.

Her chest felt as if it had been punched, and her mind was filled with shock: how could they have so many pearls?!

"Don't panic, Meiniang. My cousin will take care of it."

Qian Duobao squinted his eyes and whispered to her.

His chubby cheeks twitched, and a confident expression flashed across his face because he understood his cousin's personality the best.

These two individuals would definitely not have a good ending.

After hearing Qian Duobao's reassurance, Meiniang's face finally relaxed a bit.

"Qian gege, you're so good."

"Woof woof woof~"

...

Qian Mingyuan was taken aback. He had only glanced at them, but he had already determined that these six pearls were undoubtedly high-grade.

But as a Scenic Scholar, it was easy for him to make things difficult for ordinary people.

His divine sense swept over Fu Ning, preparing to teach him a lesson, but suddenly his gaze froze. After a moment of hesitation, he retracted his divine sense.

He didn't know what grudge this young man had with Qian Duobao, but at this moment, he chose not to take action.

"Instead of wasting these pearls at Sitting Oblivion Beach, it would be better to prepare for your own future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sitting Oblivion Beach erupted in commotion.

"Is this a threat?!"

Yun Niang stood up in a panic.

"Big fish, let's go!"

She would rather not become a Scenic Scholar than have something happen to Big Fish!

...

A hint of superiority appeared on Qian Duobao's face as he smiled at me.

Cousin, you truly live up to your reputation.

In his eyes, Qian Mingyuan deliberately made things difficult for the other party because of his own request.

However, such blatant threats don't seem to be Cousin's style.

He pondered for a moment, feeling that there must be hidden motives behind this.

"No matter what, as long as I can help Meiniang, it's good."

"But speaking of which, those two don't seem like bad people. I wonder where they offended Meiniang."

Beside him, Meiniang looked at Qian Mingyuan's back with excitement in her eyes.

Scenic Scholar, indeed so impressive.

Looking at Yun Niang's panicked appearance, he couldn't help but feel proud: Let's see how you can turn the tables now.

Do you have the ability to compete with me, Cheng Meiniang?

...

Above Sitting Oblivion Beach, the white cloud remained motionless.

On top of the white cloud, an old man with a long white beard sat, his gaze slightly deep as he observed every move on Sitting Oblivion Beach.

Behind him stood two disciples in white robes, their brows furrowing simultaneously, their expressions displeased.

"Master, isn't Junior Brother Mingyuan breaking the rules like this?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Yes and no."

"You are too far away to perceive it."

The Origin Qi in that young man's body is almost depleted, I'm afraid he won't live for many more days."

"Mingyuan not accepting his pearl is considered a good deed."

After saying that, the old man sighed deeply, seemingly reminded of something, a trace of sadness appearing in his eyes.

Scenic Scholar absorbs and manipulates the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, so they are most sensitive to Origin Qi.

When Qian Mingyuan approached Fu Ning with his divine sense, he instantly sensed that the Origin Qi in Fu Ning's body was rapidly depleting.

At this rate, Fu Ning has at most three more days to live.

Instead of wasting the pearl on illusory wonders, it would be better to exchange it for some wealth and take care of his own affairs after death.

So the words he said were not a threat, but advice.

"Thank you."

Fu Ning slightly clasped his fists towards Qian Mingyuan.

He understood Qian Mingyuan's compassion from his own body.

This scene, however, seemed very anomalous in the eyes of the others.

One seemed to be threatening, while the other seemed to be expressing gratitude.

It gave the impression of a mismatched conversation.

Qian Mingyuan sighed lightly, thinking that Fu Ning had taken his advice to heart.

But in the next moment, he tilted his palm and the six pearls scattered.

Crackling sounds.

Large and small pearls all fell into the jade plate.

"You..." Qian Mingyuan furrowed his brows lightly, not understanding why Fu Ning still insisted on going his own way.

Fu Ning, on the other hand, smiled slightly, a resolute expression appearing on his face.

"He who learns the way in the morning can die in the evening."

As soon as these six words were spoken, Qian Mingyuan suddenly froze in place.

And from the sky, a loud laughter resounded, "Good!"

"Good 'He who learns the way in the morning can die in the evening'!"

Before the voice faded, an old man had already appeared on Sitting Oblivion Beach.

With white hair, white beard, and white robe, he exuded an otherworldly aura.

As soon as Qian Mingyuan saw the newcomer, his expression immediately became composed, and he respectfully saluted, "Mingyuan pays respects to Master!"

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"Scenic Master!"

"It's White Cloud Scenic Master!"

Soon, someone recognized the old man's identity and everyone knelt down to pay their respects.

Scenic Scholars can cultivate their state of mind, establish a "Scenic Palace," and evolve an "Inner Scenic Diagram."

The "Inner Scenic Diagram" can further evolve into an "Inner Scenic Wonder," at which point one can be called a "Scenic Master."

There are only four Scenic Masters on the entire Spirit Turtle Island!

The old man in front of them is one of them.

Who would have thought that a dying consumptive would attract a Scenic Master with just one sentence!
