My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 333 - Don’t Worry, My Lips Are Sealed!

Chapter 333 Don’t Worry, My Lips Are Sealed!

The situation in the Western Kunlun Mountain today is a little unstable.

In a secluded valley in the majestic mountains, the old Daoist priest with a youthful face slowly stood up in a Cave Abode that had the sign ‘Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave’.

He seemed to have sensed that something was about to happen. However, it was difficult to determine the exact details. He pinched his fingers and deduced. He only knew that it was related to his Dao heritage — the Immortal Du Sect.

“It seems to be the opening ceremony again. It’s the day the Immortal Du Sect takes in disciples.” Perfected Du’e pondered for a while and decided to go to the Immortal Du Sect to take a look.

To the Perfected One, it would be embarrassing for the Great Daoist Master to appear and help when the Immortal Du Sect was attacked by a group of demon puppets.

‘I can’t make any more mistakes and alarm the Great Daoist Master.’

The old Daoist priest pondered. The old Daoist priest hummed a sutra tune and walked around the spacious Cave Abode.

He first went to a neat cubicle.

He opened the wooden cabinet and chose a gray Daoist robe made of silver velvet. Then, he turned around and looked at the different horsetail whisk hanging on the wall next door.

Perfected Du’e chose one that matched his Daoist robe and held it in his hand.

He walked to the “cloud room” next door and picked a white cloud that was mixed with gray. He stepped on it and floated out of his Cave Abode.

Not every horsetail whisk could catch his eye.

For example, not every itinerant cultivator was fortunate enough to be accepted as an in-name disciple by the Grand Pure One.

“Pay particular attention”.

The journey was neither rushed nor slow. He rode a cloud east and admired the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Middle Continent. Soon, he arrived near the Immortal Du Sect.

At that moment, the Immortal Du Sect was bustling with activity. There were many people outside the sect, and there were tests of various levels prepared inside the sect.

Perfected Du’e nodded when he saw that. Hiding in the clouds, he walked around and was quite satisfied with the magnificent scene.

Not long after, two elders of the Immortal Du Sect flew out of the sect and announced the start of the disciple selection...

“Today is the opening ceremony. The disciples will enter through the mountain gate and arrive at the main peak. There are a total of eighteen trials and tribulations. Those who are chosen by the immortals in the sect to become disciples will make their own decisions and choose whether to leave or stay.

“Those who do not get chosen by the immortals in the sect, but have outstanding potential, can stay in the mountain to be servant disciples. The sect will naturally arrange a cultivation schedule. For the ceremony this time, a new stone of destiny has been added according to the Sect Leader’s orders. If you have good luck, you can enter the sect to cultivate...” Luck?

Perfected Dule raised his eyebrows slightly and felt that it made sense.

At that moment, the Perfected One continued to hide in the cloud and watch. He easily saw through the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation and saw what happened next. The three Golden Immortals in the sect did not notice that.

However...

Is Perfected Du’e really here? Li Changshou stood by the lake of the Little Qiong Peak with his hands behind his back and pondered carefully. He originally wanted to use destiny as a guide to let the Sect Leader take Li Jing in as a disciple, in place of his master. However, it seemed that his many arrangements might not be necessary. It was better to be prepared. The appearance of Perfected Du’e further proved that Li Jing was that Li Jing!

After some thought, Li Changshou turned around and returned to the straw hut.

The destiny Dharma artifact had already been handed over to the Sect Leader to deal with. To be safe, Li Changshou had also made two arrangements. Firstly, he had pointed out to the Sect Leader that one of the disciples had astonishing luck. Of course, he was using the Great Daoist Master’s name.

Secondly, Li Changshou would keep an eye on Li Jing’s entry to the sect throughout the entire process. If Li Jing’s luck was insufficient, Li Changshou would create a “backup plan” on the luck Dharma artifact. At that moment, Li Jing, who was among the youths and children, had no idea what was awaiting him...

Hence, half a day later, a ray of dark purple light soared into the sky in front of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Perfected Du’e, who was planning to leave on the cloud, could not help but be shocked. The elders gathered in the Immortal Du Hall and rushed out of the hall. Even Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, who had received Li Changshou’s instructions in advance, was shocked by the power of destiny. He covered his mouth with his elbow and coughed a few times. Then, he rode a cloud towards the Luck Testing Stone... However, in the blink of an eye, Li Jing, who was at a loss, was surrounded by figures... Li Changshou, who was in the straw hut, chuckled. He continued to leave a wisp of immortal senses to observe Li Jing’s surroundings. Most of his attention was focused outside the sect.

Ordinary officials had ordinary matters to attend to.

The paper effigy that was planted near the West Ocean Dragon Palace had observed the surroundings of the Dragon Palace over the past two days. A large number of Immortal Flood Dragon troops were constantly being mobilized and deployed, which was rather abnormal. The members of the Western Sect should have a lot of pent up anger. They were probably going to use the West Ocean Dragon Palace as an outlet to vent their anger.

The Dragon King of the West Ocean... was in danger. In order to make it easier for him to command and carry out unified management, Li Changshou had also upgraded the paper effigies in batches after he advanced and became the Water God. He had established the ‘Water’ paper effigy army that dealt with rivers, lakes, and seas. Thanks to the fact that Aunt-Master Jiu had been diligently exploiting the old spiritual tree sap in the sect the past few years. Li Changshou’s paper effigy vault and Spiritual Explosion paper effigy trump card vault were quickly filled up. Previously, Li Changshou had transferred half of the ‘Water’ paper effigies to the West Ocean to deal with the changes that could happen in the West Ocean at any time.

According to the style of the Western Sect’s slingshot, he reckoned that the Western Sect would capture the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

If I can do something, I’ll do something.

However, just as Li Changshou settled down a few paper effigy legions, his spiritual will heard the little dragon’s voice... “Brother Sect Master! Something happened!” ‘The dragon race reacted in time this time.’ As Li Changshou thought about that, he released his spiritual will through the statue and pulled Ao Yi into the dream. When the Sect Masters of the Sea God Sect met, they spoke at the same time... Li Changshou said, “The situation around the West Ocean Dragon Palace is not optimistic. I have already discovered the traces of many Primordial Beasts.”

However, Ao Yi said, “Aunt-Master Golden Light brought a group of female immortals from the island to the Sea God Temple in Anshui City!”

The two of them were stunned at the same time after hearing each other’s words. “Goddess of Golden Light?”

“Brother, what happened to the West Ocean?”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “There’s something strange about the West Ocean Dragon Palace. I think the Western Sect is going to cause trouble. Go and inform your father. I’ll deal with the Sea God Temple. The fairies that you mentioned... When they came, were they happy or angry? Were they indignant or worried?”

“Yes... They didn’t seem to be too emotional. They were originally comforting Aunt-Master Golden Light and then they agreed to look for Brother.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and heaved a sigh of relief.

Without needing Li Changshou to urge him, Ao Yi bowed and hurriedly left. Li Changshou hid the paper effigies in the West Ocean deeper. He left some attention in the West Ocean and arranged for a Golden Immortal paper effigy to wait in the Sea God Temple.

Not long after, two white clouds floated over from the South Ocean. There were seventeen to eighteen beautiful fairies standing on them.

When he took a closer look, most of them were familiar faces. They had either seen each other during the Sea God Ceremony or met in a cave.

The first fairy was dressed in a red dress and wearing a phoenix crown. She was Daoist Duobao’s beloved disciple — the Goddess of Fire Spirit. The Goddess of Golden Light, who was shorter, was beside the Goddess of Fire Spirit. At that moment, the Goddess of Golden Light was in a daze. Her beautiful face was haggard, and her short skirt, which was made of golden silk, had lost some luster.

Li Changshou took the initiative to ride a cloud out to welcome them. He bowed from afar and bowed with a Dao salute. The Goddess of Fire Spirit frowned slightly and glanced at the mortals standing on the roofs and streets of Anshui City, looking at them. She whispered, “Uncle-Master, let’s go to your temple to have a chat.”

“Okay.”

Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and led the group of fairies into the Sea God Temple. Hence, the rumors about the “Sea God’s Charm” quickly increased by dozens of versions... At that moment, Li Changshou did not have the time to reform the Sea God Temple for the sixth time. The mortals naturally did not know that the Sea God had been replaced by the Dragon King. However, that did not affect Li Changshou’s collection of incense merits. When they arrived at the inner hall, the host and guests took their seats. The hall was filled with birds and swallows, as well as colorful lights.

Li Changshou did not make small talk and said seriously, “Fellow fairies, why have you come from Golden Ao Island?” At that moment, all the fairies wanted to say something but hesitated. The Goddess of Golden Light lowered her head and did not say anything. “Aunt-Master,” the Goddess of Fire Spirit said softly. Then, she smiled reluctantly at Li Changshou. “I’m here to look for you this time because I have a request...”

“Let me say it.” The Goddess of Golden Light took the initiative to speak. Her voice was a little weak.

She looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with nervousness. She asked softly, “Did Senior Brother Gongming... come to you before?” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. After meeting Fairy Yun Xiao at the East Ocean previously, his status and influence in Jie School seemed to have increased greatly. However, it was useless...

Moreover, he did not want more karma. “Of course.” Li Changshou smiled and answered, “Brother Gongming seems to be very troubled. In order to let Brother relax, I even invited him to the Heavenly Courts’ Immortality Peach Banquet.” The Goddess of Golden Light could not help but ask, “Is he very troubled?”

Li Changshou did not know how to answer. At that moment, he did not dare to add any subjective feelings and could only respond objectively. He said, “He’s not too frustrated... It can be said that there is a little frustration of not knowing where he is, and also a little frustration of being the most wasteful thing in the world.” The Goddess of Golden Light sighed softly when she heard that. There was a hint of bitterness in her eyes as she muttered softly, “I really deserve to die. I have created trouble for Senior Brother Gongming. If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have said those words. I wouldn’t have pestered him.”

A few fairies in the surroundings immediately comforted her, telling her not to blame herself. Perhaps Senior Brother Gongming is just too thick-skinned.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Not really. Master Zhao does not like girls like you who are cute and have round faces!

Li Changshou felt a little helpless as he watched the Goddess of Golden Light ignite her fighting spirit amidst the cheers of the surrounding fairies. When it came to such matters, being comforted by others was the worst. It would be better to deal with the pain quickly. However, Li Changshou was not an immortal of Jie School. He did not dare to say anything about that matter. He only listened quietly... The karma of marriage was huge. The words he said to teach Ling’e a lesson back then were still ringing in his ears. He naturally would not be involved. When the Goddess of Golden Light perked up, her eyes lit up again. She asked softly, “Senior Brother Changgeng... My heart is indeed in a mess. I don’t know how to deal with it. You are most familiar with Senior Brother Gongming. Can you help me take a look at what is written in the letter?”

The Goddess of Golden Light handed over the letter using immortal power. Li Changshou coughed and said, “Actually, when Brother Gongming wrote this letter, I was beside him. It’s a long story. Back then, Brother Gongming told me what happened. He was too troubled to tell you. I suggested that he write a letter that he wanted to say but could not...” The Goddess of Golden Light could not help but be stunned. She muttered, “In that case, he is indeed annoying me.” “How is that possible!?!” The Goddess of Fire Spirit stood up and snatched the letter away. She quickly walked to Li Changshou and opened the letter.

“Uncle-Master, take a closer look!”

Li Changshou took a closer look and was puzzled.

Is there anything wrong with that expression? He was tactfully rejecting her, just short of making it clear...

However, the Goddess of Fire Spirit pointed with her slender hand and said, “Uncle-Master, from the third line onwards, read the first word of every line and you will understand its meaning.” Li Changshou focused his attention and muttered, “Sister, Jin, don’t be anxious. Have you been... for a long time?”

Isn’t that too unreasonable?

If it was really an acrostic poem, why didn’t he start with the first line?

However, just as Li Changshou was about to retort, the surrounding fairies stood up and looked at Li Changshou. The Goddess of Golden Light pursed her lips and looked hopeful... He heard a voice transmission. It was from the Goddess of Fire Spirit. The Goddess of Fire Spirit said, “Uncle-Master, we all know what Uncle-Master Gongming means. However, Aunt-Master Golden Light has been suffering for a long time. We don’t want to see her so dejected. Even if Uncle-Master Gongming could spend half a day with Aunt-Master, it would be considered a fulfillment of her dreams of many years. We have always admired your scheming mind and intelligence. This time, we have secretly discussed and coaxed Aunt-Master Golden Light to come to you. Please help Aunt-Master. We will bear all the karma. If Aunt-Master finds it inappropriate, please don’t expose her. It’s good to give her some thoughts and let her slowly forget them.”

Li Changshou looked up at the tall figure standing beside him.

The Goddess of Fire Spirit’s eyes were pleading. Li Changshou pondered for a while and sighed. “I’m a little confused. What does Brother Zhao mean?”

The Goddess of Golden Light’s eyes were filled with light.

The Goddess of Fire Spirit could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, Li Changshou had already sent a voice transmission back... “I’ll make an oath first. I’ll give you three brocade pouches later and let you help Golden Light. However, this matter cannot be revealed. It has nothing to do with me. All the actions were the result of your discussion with the fairies.”

The corners of the Goddess of Fire Spirit’s mouth twitched.

He had been calling her Aunt-Master for so long. Why was it useless... Aunt-Master Yun Xiao’s quasi-Dao companion is really troublesome.

At the same time, in the Immortal Du Hall of the Immortal Du Sect, the young man, Li Jing, was kneeling on the meditation cushion. He lowered his head and did not dare to look around. Many elders sat on his left and right sides, still praising the young man’s luck. Violet Qi from the East arrived, and a great destiny was on his body!

Without comparison, there would be no harm.

Sect Leader Ji Wuyou had just measured his own luck and realized that the Golden Immortal was only a light red... It allowed the elders in the sect to sense the “rarity” of the young man. However, that also meant that destiny was not directly related to one’s cultivation level. In the side hall, Perfected Du’e was sitting on a chair while Ji Wuyou was standing beside him. At that moment, Perfected Du’e had already decided to accept Li Jing as his disciple. However, because Li Jing’s potential was not strong, he was only accepted as an in-name disciple. However, when Perfected Du’e said that he wanted to bring Li Jing to West Kunlun to cultivate, Ji Wuyou pondered for a while and said, “Master, why don’t you leave Li Jing in the Immortal Du Sect to cultivate?”

“Oh?”

Perfected Du’e asked curiously, “Do you think that I can teach him better than him in the sect?”

Ji Wuyou said in a low voice, “Master, you might not know. If his luck is higher, he might have more opportunities in the sect. Master, times have changed. There’s a powerful figure in the Immortal Du Sect.”

Perfected Du’e could not help but feel even more puzzled. “What powerful person?”

“Master, please don’t tell anyone about this.” Ji Wuyou leaned forward and muttered softly.

“Huh?”

Perfected Du’e stood up and widened his old eyes. He lowered his voice and asked, “Don’t lie to me!” “How would I dare to lie to you? That’s because there are many phenomena and opportunities...”

Ji Wuyou said seriously, “Master, don’t tell anyone about this.”

“Don’t worry.” Perfected Du’e’s Dao heart quickly calmed down. He smiled and said, “How can I lose my composure? Come, tell me in detail what kind of phenomena this... nephew of mine has.” Ji Wuyou nodded and began to mutter softly.
