My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 334 - Surrender

Chapter 334 Surrender

In the beginning, no one cared about the origin of the news...

“Fellow Daoist, have you heard? The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School has a descendant! We have to be careful when we go out. Don’t offend such a big shot.”

Gradually, it became a major event in the five continents...

“Fellow Daoist, does the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School know? That’s right, that’s right. He’s the eldest disciple of the Dao Sect! I don’t know when he had a son. It’s said that his son is in the line of succession of the Great Daoist Master and the ancient demon deity, the Ice Goddess! He has three heads and eight arms and can control wind, fire, and lightning! His cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds. It’s said that he can become a Zenith Heaven immortal in a thousand years!”

In the end, it evolved into something that was almost real...

“Aunt-Master, you came out of seclusion? What is everyone talking about... Aunt-Master, you don’t know. When the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, cultivated the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, he sat on the Taiji Painting and sensed the interaction between Heaven and Earth... They had a child!”

“Sect Leader! Sect Leader! We have a joyous occasion!”

A month and a half after the opening ceremony, the various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect gradually quietened down. A total of 1,200 new disciples were distributed at the top of the dozens of peaks and began to cultivate for 200 years...

Due to the fact that a young man with rich luck had arrived in the sect, he had been accepted as an in-name disciple by the founder, Perfected Du’e. He had joined the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate. The various peaks wanted to compare and see which peak the chief disciple would land on this time.

Moreover, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou, had not gone into seclusion in the past month and a half. He had been secretly busy for dozens of days and nights.

Today, he finally had some free time. Ji Wuyou stood in front of the window of the Immortal Du Hall’s side hall and looked at the sea of clouds outside. His eyes were calm and he sighed. “Changshou is right.”

As the Sect Leader, the most important thing to do when new disciples entered the sect was to investigate the background and potential of those disciples. The focus would be on finding out if there were any external demons who had taken over the disciples’ bodies, hidden inner demons, or reincarnated evil spirits.

In that case, he felt much more at ease.

The Great Daoist Master’s bloodline is indeed extraordinary.

Just as he was thinking that in his heart, he suddenly heard an elder rushing over from outside the Immortal Du Hall, shouting, “There’s a joyous occasion in Ren School.”

Ji Wuyou was confused. He walked to the main hall with his hands behind his back and welcomed the elder.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Elder Wen, as an elder, you have to act like one. Why are you panicking?” Ji Wuyou asked calmly, “Tell me slowly. What’s the joyous occasion of Ren School?” “Sect Leader, it’s a joyous occasion!” The elder rolled up his wide sleeves and widened his eyes. He said happily, “Previously, the executives heard a piece of news when they went out. I was worried, so I went out to investigate. Sect Leader, guess what?” Ji Wuyou frowned and suddenly had a bad premonition. “Why?”

“The Great Daoist Master has a descendant! The Great Daoist Master of Ren School has a descendant! It is said that the Connate Taiji Painting of Ren School and the Great Daoist Master had a daughter! She is currently cultivating in the Primordial World!” “The Great! Pfft..”

Ji Wuyou’s eyes widened. Suddenly, his aura surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The mighty Golden Immortal big shot swayed and almost collapsed.

Elder Wen was stunned for a moment before hurriedly supporting Ji Wuyou. Ji Wuyou grabbed the elder’s arm and felt dizzy. His ears were buzzing. “Sect Leader! Sect Leader, what happened to you!?!” “No, it’s fine.” Ji Wuyou gritted his teeth and said, “Has this matter... been spread?” “It has indeed spread around. Moreover, I heard that the Carefree Immortal Sect has already released news that they want to invite the Great Daoist Master’s descendant to the Immortal Sect to cultivate. They want to treat the Grand Elder well and protect him with all their might.”

“Hmph! You’re jumping around happily now!” Ji Wuyou frowned and could not help but sigh. He roughly understood what had happened.

My master is really...

What a scam.

If he angered the Great Daoist Master, would the Immortal Du Sect still want him? How could he and his master bear the wrath of the Great Daoist Master?

At that moment, Ji Wuyou glared at the elder and ordered the sect not to spread such rumors. “The Taiji Painting is a Connate Cardinal treasure. It is used to suppress the destiny of Ren School for our Sect Master, the Saint. It sounds like it is a fabrication by others to hurt the reputation of the Great Daoist Master of Ren School. I’ll let the elders discuss and draw up a plan to announce to the public that the Great Daoist Master has never had any Dao companions since he started cultivating! That is a real pure Yang body!”

“This... I will follow the Sect Leader’s orders!”

At that moment, the elder felt that what his Sect Leader said was right. He lowered his head and rushed to the Hundred Mortal Hall.

Ji Wuyou wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. His face turned pale and he sighed. Is this how you keep your lips sealed, Master? There are too many gaps! What should I do? What else can I do? Ji Wuyou rode a cloud towards the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, he could only discuss with Li Changshou and see if he could appease the Great Daoist Master’s anger through Li Changshou... When the Sect Leader rushed to the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou was teaching Ling’e the method to create the old paper effigy. Lingle’s eyes were blurry from looking at it and she kept saying that it was too difficult.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses discovered that the Sect Leader was rushing there. With a flip of his hand, he put away the jade talisman and paper effigy and said to Ling’e, “Prepare some tea. The Sect Leader is coming over. We might have something to discuss.”

“Oh.” Ling’e blinked and agreed obediently.

Things were different now. Her immortal senses had also captured the Sect Leader’s figure. At that moment, she felt that what her senior brother had said previously was most likely true.

The matter regarding Fairy Yun Xiao was probably... Ah, the pressure increased again. When Ji Wuyou arrived at the lake, Li Changshou hurriedly went out to welcome him. He bowed to the Sect Leader and said, “Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Ah.” Ji Wuyou forced a smile and set up a barrier around him. Then, he said, “Let’s not talk about greeting each other. If we are to really talk about it, you and I are of the same generation.” Li Changshou could not help but blink. What did the Sect Leader find out?

However, if the Sect Leader figured out his identity outside the sect and knew that the Grand Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Courts had appeared to support him, then...

As an in-name disciple of the Saint, Li Changshou should be... a generation higher than the Sect Leader. Why were they of the same generation?

Li Changshou quickly captured the “difference” and analyzed it carefully in his heart. However, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

“Sect Leader, please come in and get some rest.” “Yes.” Ji Wuyou did not know what to say. He nodded and agreed. Then, he went to the straw hut with Li Changshou. The Sect Leader sat down. Li Changshou stood at the side as a disciple. After being persuaded by Ji Wuyou, he reluctantly sat at the side. At that moment, Ling’e came in with tea and bowed to the Sect Leader. She was about to leave when Li Changshou stopped her.

“Junior Sister, let’s listen to the Sect Leader’s lecture.”

“Yes, Senior Brother.” Ling’e stood obediently at the side.

Ji Wuyou did not bother much about it. After all, he knew Ling’e’s identity after seeing how she had gone through the Tribulation Transcendence.

She was a member of the Great Daoist Master’s team!

“Changshou,” Ji Wuyou said, “You... Um...” Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. “Sect Leader, just speak your mind.” Ling’e frowned slightly and thought to herself, Could it be that the Sect Leader knows that Senior Brother and I are preparing to steal the Little Qiong Peak? After all, Ji Wuyou was the Sect Leader of a sect. He had cultivated for many years and had seen countless storms. At that moment, he knew what he should do.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Changshou, there are some things that I’ve already known since a long time ago even though you didn’t tell me about them.” Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously began to think about how he had revealed a flaw. “Sect Leader, this...” Li Changshou pursed his lips and looked a little embarrassed. However, his gaze remained calm.

He had never done anything to harm the Immortal Du Sect or the Ren School. Naturally, he could sit still.

“I did not hide it on purpose. I was really forced to do so.” “I understand. I understand,” Ji Wuyou replied with a smile. His pale face turned a little red. “Sometimes, it’s really hard to spell certain things out loud. I can understand that you have your own difficulties.”

“Ah, the living beings in this world are mediocre. Be it those who don’t know the Dao or those who work hard and pursue their own Dao, all of them have reasons that are hard to explain.”

Li Changshou could not help but feel touched. The Sect Leader is really... His words are so heartwarming. Fake nice men were just like Yuan Qing, who was pestering his toxic junior sister because he wanted her body.

Real nice men were really like the Sect Leader. He was empathetic towards the disciples in the sect. He was sensible, understood their difficulties, and would comfort and encourage the disciples in the sect!

Li Changshou stood up and bowed with a Dao salute. He praised, “Thank you for your understanding, Sect Leader!”

Ji Wuyou smiled awkwardly and coughed a few more times. He said in a low voice, “Have you heard the rumors outside the town recently?” “I’ve been busy with some matters recently.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Although the situation has been decided, there are still some lingering effects. I didn’t have the chance to hear anything from the town.” Ji Wuyou was confused. Why did he feel that he did not understand what Changshou said? Even so, Ji Wuyou continued, “It’s my fault. When Master came to take Li Jing in as a disciple, I was too excited and told him about it. However, I did not tell him who it was. I only told him about your existence.”

Li Changshou could not help but frown. Does Perfected Du’e know that I’m the Heavenly Courts’ Water God?

Why does this matter have to be spread? However, considering that Perfected Du’e and the Sect Leader are master and disciple, it is reasonable for him to not hide this matter from him. Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. The Little Qiong Peak’s vagrancy plan was really imminent!

Ling’e’s frown deepened.

Why did she feel that although her senior brother and the Sect Leader were talking to each other enthusiastically, the two of them... did not seem to be talking about the same thing? Li Changshou sighed and said, “Sect Leader, there’s actually nothing to say about that. I’m just lucky. There have been many twists and turns along the way.”

“It’s not bad that you think that way.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “None of us can decide our origins. Whether we have a strong background or not, we are all living beings who work hard on the Great Dao.” Background? Li Changshou’s doubts intensified. Ling’e suddenly asked, “Sect Leader, what exactly are you talking about?” Ji Wuyou looked a little awkward. He lowered his head and coughed twice. He sighed and said, “Changshou, I spoke too much to my master at home and said that the Great Daoist Master has a son who is cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect. Then, my master must have gotten drunk somewhere and told others that the Great Daoist Master has a child. The rumors are now spreading everywhere... However, don’t worry. I never mentioned that you are the son of the Great Daoist Master!”

Ling’e could not help but raise her hand to her forehead.

Li Changshou widened his eyes and instantly forgot to breathe. He sat there and looked at the Sect Leader who was in front of him. It was as if a hundred Daoist Wen Jings had entered his mind. Destroy it... destroy it directly... He even dared to create rumors about the Great Daoist Master! He even implicated him!

The rumors that were spreading about the Great Daoist Master’s Pure Yang name were actually from Perfected Du’e!

To think that he had always thought that it was a dirty trick of the Western Sect. He was thinking of making up a Western fairy tale to retaliate! For a moment, Li Changshou’s heart was in turmoil, and his Dao heart trembled.

He could not help but ask, “Sect Leader, how did you deduce that I’m the Great Daoist Master’s son?”

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “I still have the ability to tell such things.”

Li Changshou deliberated for a while and took out a jade token. He handed it to the Sect Leader and said softly, “Sect Leader, please take a look at this. I have my answer. Don’t mention the Sect Leader’s words to anyone else. If we’re not careful, we might attract trouble. If we’re not careful, we might ruin the many schemes of Ren School.”

Ji Wuyou looked down and could not help but be shocked. In an instant, he seemed to have understood something. His eyes were filled with shock and his Dao heart was about to lose control.

These Dao runes!

Those words! Little Daoist Master Xuan Du! “Changshou, you!” “Sect Leader, please don’t blame me.” Li Changshou’s expression was serious. “Don’t mention this to outsiders. If you trust me, please swear a Great Dao oath to restrain yourself.”

As he spoke, Li Changshou took out a jade pot from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Ji Wuyou. Li Changshou said, “The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in here is a gift for you, Sect Leader. It’s to thank you for remaining tight-lipped about it.” Ji Wuyou took a deep breath. At that moment, he suddenly understood the reason and explained what he did not understand previously. The little disciple in front of him was more than just the son of the Great Daoist Master!

Could it be that Little Daoist Master Xuan Du is already a disciple of the Saint, but he kept it a secret?

That’s right. Changshou is probably the reincarnation of a certain expert from Ren School who has yet to be born. There must be a huge scheme! Today, I was implicated. The Great Dao oath seemed to be restraining me, Ji Wuyou. In fact, Changshou is protecting my life!

“Ah!”

Ji Wuyou sighed in frustration. “Why! Forget it. I’ll make an oath. Changshou, please don’t blame me.” “Sect Leader, please keep the matter regarding the Ancestral Master a secret,” Li Changshou reminded worriedly. “If Ancestral Master Du’e misunderstands...” Ji Wuyou hurriedly said, “Don’t call him that. Just call him the Perfected One!”

“Alright, if the Perfected One misunderstands, we will let him misunderstand. You must remind him not to mention this matter again.”

“Okay.”

The power of the Heavenly Dao came and went. The Sect Leader rode a cloud back to the Heaven-Breaking Peak. “Phew...”

Li Changshou heaved a long sigh of relief. His body sank into the round chair. He wanted to complain, but he was speechless. He could only raise his hand and rub his eyebrows.

He cursed using Ren School’s vulgarities.

It was no wonder that the Sect Leader had been so easy to talk to previously. It turned out that he had already thought wrongly about that night.

The Great Daoist Master’s flesh and blood! Does the Sect Leader usually hide in the small black room in the corner of the Immortal Du Hall and watch those cliché stories while coughing blood?! She heard a chuckle and pressed her cold hands on Li Changshou’s shoulders, rubbing them gently. “Senior Brother, how should we deal with this matter?”

“What is it?”

“It’s about someone spreading rumors about the Great Daoist Master,” Ling’e said softly.

“I can’t do anything about it.” Li Changshou shook his head. “The Great Daoist Master’s identity is special. He is the only disciple of Ren School and a few experts below the Saint. The topic regarding the Great Daoist Master is the most attractive to living beings. Even if we ask the six immortal sects of Ren School to stand up and refute the rumors, they would only be accused of covering things up. Moreover, the people who spread the rumors in the beginning might be afraid that the Great Daoist Master would pursue the matter. However, the more the rumors spread, the more bold and unrestrained they are.”

Ling’e seemed to be in deep thought.

Li Changshou sighed. “That’s the most troublesome

thing.”

“Senior Brother, are we not going to do anything?” “The Great Daoist Master is naturally carefree. His Dao Realm is extremely profound and he is humble. He has obtained the true teachings of the Grand Pure One. He is also a role model that I have been learning and trying to catch up to.” Li Changshou said seriously, “I think the Great Daoist Master will not be angry over such a small matter. After a few months, everything will be fine.” Ling’e was about to answer when she heard a chuckle from outside the door.

A gentle ripple appeared in the air as a short figure stepped out.

“Your spiritual senses have been getting sharper recently. When did you discover my presence? You made it sound so exaggerated. I almost believed you when you said that.”
