Chapter 377 She’s Just My Sister…
Under the bright sunlight, the Little Qiong Peak, which was protected by layers of array formations, seemed especially comfortable to be in. He sat in the bamboo forest and felt the spiritual energy that was of appropriate intensity. He enjoyed the fragrant tea that he had personally brewed, listened to the whispers of the people from the other peaks and admired the beautiful flowers in the pavilion. The days of cultivation in this place were so peaceful and comfortable. Moreover… Well, I can’t be like the dragon king. I’ll just ma.s.sage my shoulders and back. After all, he was a disciple of Ren School. He had to be more simple and hardworking. The Great Daoist Master was still sleeping on the haystack. He could not achieve everything in one go. Li Changshou looked relaxed. In fact, the paper effigy was getting busy everywhere in the South Continent, repairing the damaged temples and comforting the mortals who were suffering. After that battle, Li Changshou decided to form an emergency team of the Sea G.o.d Sect in a hundred years.
Since most of the people who would go to the Sea G.o.d Sect to cause trouble in the future would probably be demons, Li Changshou decided to hire the Magi as the main combat power of the team. Once he solved the crucial problem, he would go to the North Continent to discuss the corresponding matters.
The key issue was how to break the oath made by the Magi.
Originally, Li Changshou felt that today would be a peaceful and fulfilling day, until… his immortal senses captured the charming vixen standing at the bow of the s.h.i.+p that was heading towards the Immortal Du Sect.
Lan? Or was it Xiaolan?
Why is this Nine-tailed Fox still unwilling to give up… Li Changshou pondered for a while and stood up. He rode a cloud towards the pavilion. The last time, he had asked Elder Moon to intervene and had also used some underhanded methods to get rid of the infatuation that the vixen had developed because of the misunderstanding. For that, he felt a little guilty. At that time, the red string of the vixen was coiling towards that of his master, Qi Yuan, in the Hall of Marriage. When she was in the dungeon, the person who appeared in front of the vixen was actually himself, who was under the disguise of his master’s appearance… If the vixen really liked that Qi Yuan, the red string should have been pointing at Li Changshou. Clearly, the vixen only liked the “personality” that she imagined. It was just that the person with that “personality” had the appearance of his master.
This time, the vixen came again… There was no hurry. He had to stabilize himself first and see how his master, the Turbid Immortal, was progressing The cloud landed in front of the renovated “Royal Chess Card Room”. Li Changshou coughed outside the array formation. The three beautiful girls who were fighting the Great G.o.ds inside immediately got busy. “Master’s wife! Quickly change your clothes! Don’t let Changshou see you!”
That was Jiu Jiu, who had committed a heinous crime.
“Yus.h.i.+, clean the house! Don’t make your Disciple-Nephew laugh!” It was his evil Grandmaster.
The person who had swiftly cleaned up the mess was naturally the target Li Changshou was looking for, Jiu Yus.h.i.+.
She had been on the mountain for quite some time. His master, Qi Yuan, had often gone to meet her there.
Logically speaking, with the relations.h.i.+p foundation of his previous life, it was very likely that Qi Yuan and Jiu Yus.h.i.+ would be married in this life. However, no one could be sure about relations.h.i.+ps…
At that moment, he could almost tell what Aunt-Master Jiu Yus.h.i.+’s att.i.tude towards his master
was.
Li Changshou had rushed over to find out about his Aunt-Master Jiu Yu’s intentions. Otherwise, he would be p.r.o.ne to making mistakes when dealing with the subsequent matters.
As a disciple, he was already a Turbid Immortal with a tragic fate. It would be great if he could have an old companion.
Creak…
The door of the house was pulled open. A subtle fragrance blew over. Jiu Jiu, who was dressed in a short-sleeved linen s.h.i.+rt and short skirt, looked like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. She used her hands as claws and shouted softly, “Bring the wine here!”
Li Changshou’s body swayed casually. He used his immortal power to support his Little Aunt-Master. He took out two thumb-sized wine bottles from his sleeve and accurately threw them into her palm. At the same time, he grabbed two Fourth Grade Spirit Pills and stuffed them into her mouth. Li Changshou smiled and said, “150 kilograms of spiritual sap!” Jiu Jiu, who was hugging the two wine jugs in her arms, blushed. She kept making cracking sounds and shouted in a m.u.f.fled voice, “No problem!” Behind the chess table in the corner, Jiang Lin’er rolled her eyes and sighed. “What shameless things have the two of you been doing all day?!” Jiu Jiu chuckled and played with the two small wine jars happily. However, she pretended to be stunned and did not answer that question. Well, she was bound by a confidentiality agreement. Li Changshou bowed and said, “Greetings, Grandmaster.”
“Child, didn’t we agree to talk about our own matters? There are no outsiders here.” Jiang Lin’er chuckled.
As she was already married to w.a.n.g Fugui, her overall appearance was more mature. She tied up her fluffy hair and changed into a light yellow dress. Her fair skin became more l.u.s.trous. However, her long hair was still smooth and it draped down in front of her chest and down her back. It was completely difficult to differentiate…
“Ahem.” Li Changshou looked at Jiu Yus.h.i.+, who was standing quietly in the corner. He said warmly, “Aunt-Master Yus.h.i.+, if you’re not in a hurry to cultivate, can you walk around the mountain with me?”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ was clearly stunned.
In her impression, Li Changshou, the true leader of the Little Qiong Peak, had always kept a distance from her. He rarely spoke… “Of course.” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ smiled cautiously.
Jiu Jiu blinked at Li Changshou, who smiled and remained silent.
Jiang Lin’er thought of something and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
“Brother Changshou, are you being too hasty? Yus.h.i.+ has yet to become an immortal.”
Changshou! What the h.e.l.l is Brother Changshou? No, what? I’m being too hasty? The Nine-tailed Fox Demon has already come knocking on his door. If I still don’t ask about the details, Jiu Yus.h.i.+ would misunderstand!
“Grandmaster will know the exact situation later,” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission and gestured for Jiu Yus.h.i.+ to go ahead. “Aunt-Master, please.” “Yes.” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ agreed and walked out of the pavilion with her head lowered.
Li Changshou followed from behind, keeping a distance of six feet between them to prevent any misunderstandings. The two of them strolled at the edge of the spiritual beast garden. Xiong Lingli, who was busy tending to the spiritual beast seedlings, sized them up curiously for a while. Soon, she lowered her head and continued to get busy on her own. The Sea G.o.d is alone with Yus.h.i.+… He must be talking about serious matters.
Li Changshou did not use his immortal power to block their conversation. He left the pavilion and walked 1,000 feet away. When he arrived at an elegant forest stream, Li Changshou said warmly, “Ever since Aunt-Master went up the mountain, has your cultivation been stable?”
“Of course.” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ answered seriously. “Are you asking me about Senior Brother Qi Yuan today?”
Li Changshou was slightly stunned. Then, he laughed.
Clearly, not many people would be as silly as Aunt-Master Jiu after drinking some wine…
“When did you find out, Aunt-Master?”
“When I first started cultivating, I often had some dreams,” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ said softly. “At that time, I already roughly knew the reason. Later, when Ling’e asked me about it, she was not too surprised.
However, I am Yus.h.i.+, not Jiang Yu… Sorry.”
“Why did you apologize?” Li Changshou said warmly, “In the beginning, we also treated you as Yus.h.i.+ and not Jiangyu. In his previous life, there was nothing to avoid. Although it is not karma, the ties cannot be removed. You don’t have to worry. In your previous life, you were just Wan Jiangyu, the eldest disciple of Unfettered Lin Jiang, who was also known as Jiang Lin’er. You were an immortal seedling of the Little Qiong Peak who died young. My master was only your junior brother.” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ was a little touched. She whispered, “Thank
you…”
“I was afraid that you would be too embarra.s.sed to say what you were thinking because of everyone,” Li Changshou said. “In that case, I’ll tell Master about this.”
“Actually…”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ hesitated to speak.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. “Aunt-Master, please say it.” “I think Senior Brother Qi Yuan is not bad. He takes care of me and gives me pointers on many cultivation problems. He will patiently explain everything to me…” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ sighed softly. “I once wanted to convince myself to develop those longing feelings for Senior Brother Qi Yuan again. However, after working hard for more than twenty years, I feel that…” “Why?”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ said softly, “How good would it be if he is my blood-related brother?” Ding! I received a ‘Brother Card’ on behalf of Master. Li Changshou looked down at the Sensing Stone hanging on his waist and realized that it was s.h.i.+ning with a purple light. Clearly, there were more than one or two people using their immortal senses to investigate the place… The local Mountain G.o.d should know by now. An hour later, in the straw hut by the lake, the old Daoist priest, Qi Yuan, held the wine gla.s.s in his hand and kept drinking. He raised his head and gulped it down. The few dishes on the table were untouched. A moment ago, he was a smiling Mountain G.o.d who said that he was fine!
Some melancholic music sounded from the side. Ling’e’s eyes were red. She pulled an Erhu and played a mellow melody. Jiu Jiu, who had rushed over to comfort Qi Yuan, looked at the superior-grade immortal wine that should have been his food reserve, with a pained expression.
Jiu Jiu wanted to say something but hesitated a few times. She only wanted to persuade a drunk Turbid Immortal and exchange for some ordinary wine.
Li Changshou sat at the side and looked helpless.
He could plot everything except for romantic relations.h.i.+ps. “It’s not like we didn’t consider this outcome in the past,” Jiu Jiu said. “No matter what, let’s respect Yus.h.i.+’s choice.”
“I have to respect Yus.h.i.+’s choice!”
Qi Yuan blushed and said firmly, “Changshou, you are not allowed to interfere with this matter! No, that’s not right. I didn’t mean that. I didn’t mean that!”
“Master, I know you’re depressed.” Li Changshou picked up a jar of wine and drank it.
The paper effigy could not get drunk anyway. Li Changshou sighed and said, “Love is destined for three lifetimes. Reincarnation is no longer the same as yesterday. Master, forget it.” “I will definitely be like her biological elder brother. No.” Qi Yuan looked up and sighed. “I must be a hundred times more considerate than her biological elder brother. I must take good care of her! Later, I’ll go and form a golden orchid with her. That way, she won’t be criticized when she wants to find a Dao companion in the future.” Jiu Jiu mumbled, “Well, Yus.h.i.+ is really dedicated to the Dao. Senior Brother Qi Yuan, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Li Changshou looked at the flying s.h.i.+p that was already 500 kilometers away from the sect. There were dozens of rays of immortal light flying towards the Immortal Du Sect.
“Master, do you still want a Dao companion?”
Qi Yuan raised his head and gulped down a mouthful of wine. At that moment, he almost spat it out. “Child, what nonsense are you spouting!?!” Qi Yuan glared at Li Changshou and sighed. “My heart has long died. I only want to meet my Senior Sister. Today, I have severed the thoughts that I should not have. In this life, with my disciple protecting me, I can already live a carefree life. What else is there for me to complain about? However, perhaps in another thousand years, my heart will fade. I will reincarnate and cultivate again!” Li Changshou frowned slightly. Just as he was about to persuade him, Jiu Jiu stepped hard on the table. Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Senior Brother, you’re really open-minded. Let me toast you!” Qi Yuan waved his hand and did not dare to admit it. At that moment, Jiu Jiu exerted her strength and quickly placed Qi Yuan under the table.
Li Changshou sighed softly. He sent his master to the straw bed and used his immortal power to create a barrier.
Ling’e, who was playing the erhu at the side, put away her musical instrument and jumped over. She raised her hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s sleeve. “Senior Brother, if I don’t get longevity and have a next life, I will never forget you.” “Can you be a little ambitious?” Li Changshou was speechless. “You’ve just reached the Heaven Immortal realm and still have so much lifespan left. Yet, you’re considering the fact that you can’t become a Golden Immortal!”
Jiu Jiu smiled and sat at the door. She grabbed the wine gourd and continued to taste the wine. “Senior Brother,” Ling’e asked again, “If Master’s lifespan ends and he reincarnates into another person, will he still be our Master?” “In fact, it doesn’t count,” Li Changshou said. “However, logically speaking, you and I should still respond to the gift of being a disciple of Master’s reincarnation.”
Ling’e seemed to be in deep thought. Li Changshou took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and transformed it into Qi Yuan’s appearance. At that moment, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu was flying towards the Little Qiong Peak from the Immortal Du Hall. Li Changshou took the first step and walked out with his master’s appearance. Jiu Jiu asked in confusion, “What are you doing?” Li Changshou smiled calmly. “Helping Master deal with some troubles.”
“Huh?”
Jiu Jiu blinked and said in unison with Ling’e, “Bring me along!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The traditional technique of the Dao Sect disciplesthe Eight Trigrams Technique.
Jiu Wu rode a cloud to the Little Qiong Peak and briefly explained the situation. This time, an old lady with a high cultivation level from the Qing Qiu Clan came. She said that she was going to visit the Immortal Sect of Ren School.
Previously, when the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d ambushed the negative karma demons in the Immortal Du Sect, he had praised the Qing Qiu Clan. For that, the Qing Qiu Clan came to pay their respects. At the same time, a vixen from the Qing Qiu Clan wanted to meet a Turbid Immortal in the mountain.
Qi Yuan, who was disguised as Li Changshou, led the Left and Right Guardians—his junior sister and uncle-master-behind the short Daoist, Jiu Wu, and rushed towards the Immortal Du Hall. After entering the hall, Li Changshou felt a burning gaze on his face. Li Changshou’s att.i.tude changed slightly this time.
He definitely had to reject her. However, it was best for his master to reject her himself. It was difficult to guarantee that the storyline would not become a replica of what happened between Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Light. After all, it was much harder for a man to woo a woman, than the other way round. Li Changshou braced himself. Under the puzzled gazes of the elders and more than ten experts of the demon race, he walked into the hall and bowed to the Sect Leader. “I, Little Qiong Peak’s Peak Leader, Qi Yuan, greets the Sect Leader and the elders.”
Jiu Jiu and Ling’e greeted too.
Ji Wuyou stopped coughing today and smiled. “Qi Yuan, your old friend is here to visit. That’s why I called you over. Go and sit at the back first. After we finish talking about serious matters later, you can catch up on your own.” “Yes,” Li Changshou replied. He ignored the beautiful woman who could not sit still any longer and went to the short table in the corner to take a seat.
The vixen did not want to wait any longer. She stood up and hesitated. Her heart was burning. She couldn’t care less about where she was or who was there. She walked towards the old Daoist priest that Li Changshou was disguised as…
“Daoist Priest…”
However, two figures suddenly appeared from both sides and s.n.a.t.c.hed the short table beside Li Changshou.
He looked to his left and saw Lan Ling’e, the popular Golden Immortal seedling in the sect! She was beautiful. No, how could she be described as beautiful? That was too superficial. Ling’e, who had entered the Heaven Immortal realm, was no longer the same as before. Most of the charm that she had yet to unleash previously had been revealed.
Her eyebrows were beautiful, her eyes were clear, and her exquisite facial features and figure did not seem to have become any worse. Yet, he had missed such a unique beauty.
He looked to his right and saw Jiu Jiu, who was a famous immortal in the sect. She was just sitting there in boredom. She raised her head and puffed out her chest. The vixen stopped in her tracks and did not dare to move forward.
That was deterrence.
However, Li Changshou turned to look at Lingle.
At that moment, he was disguised as his master… “Ling’e, what are you doing here? Come and sit at the back!” Jiu Wu called out softly from behind.
Ling’e blinked and looked at her senior brother’s appearance. Then, she looked at the vixen whose charm had obviously increased again. For a moment, she was a little depressed, but she could only lower her head and stand up… The vixen hurriedly said, “Sit here. Let Ling’e sit here.”
After saying that, the vixen walked to Li Changshou. There was a hint of shyness in her phoenix-like eyes.
“Daoist Priest… can I sit beside you?”
You can’t. Move. Next batch.
Li Changshou really wanted to say that…
