My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 421 - Ling’e and Yun Xiao Meeting

Chapter 421 Ling’e and Yun Xiao Meeting

“Fairy Yun? Who is it? Little Shoushou brought people to the sect from outside!?!”

In the chess room, Jiu Jiu, who had just heard the news, was shocked. Jiu Yushi, who was at the side, was also caught off guard. On the other hand, the true Grandmaster of the Little Qiong Peak, Jiang Lin’er, smiled at Xiong Lingli, who had rushed over to deliver the letter.

“Don’t you use your immortal senses to investigate the surroundings?” Jiu Jiu and Jiu Yushi shook their heads honestly. Xiong Lingli tilted her head... “What is that?”

“The touch of the essence soul! The perception that even Qi Refinement cultivators have!” Jiang Lin’er patted her forehead weakly. She really did not know how to scold those flower buds that were cultivating in the mountains. Jiu Jiu had not gone out to shop for the past few decades. She was not vigilant at all. “Huh?” Jiu Jiu was puzzled. “Why can only I see Ling’e and Little Shoushou? There’s a cloud opposite Ling’e.”

“This is an extremely brilliant concealment technique, stupid!”

Jiang Lin’er shook her head and was speechless.

Jiu Jiu hurriedly asked, “Master’s wife, how does that woman look?” Jiang Lin’er could not help but scoff. “You’re making it sound as if I can see through it.”

Jiu Jiu could not help but roll her eyes.

“She’s beautiful.” Xiong Lingli added from the door, “I was stunned when I went to deliver the tea just now... I don’t know how to describe it.

Cousin is also very gentle to this fairy. Ling’e seems to be calling her sister.” “What?”

Jiang Lin’er raised her tone. She, who was originally sitting loosely on the round chair, immediately sat up straight and gritted her teeth. “Isn’t this about sequence? How can Little Changshou let Ling’e call others ‘Sister’? Ling’e was clearly the one liked him first! Hmph, I originally did not intend to pry into other people’s private affairs. Now, I can’t tolerate it anymore! Watch me!” After saying that, Jiang Lin’er waved her hand gently. Two leaves floated over from outside the door and entered her fingertips. He activated the “One-Eye Barrier” technique. The two leaves stuck to Jiang Lin’er’s eyes and shone with green light. Jiang Lin’er immediately saw through the obstacles in the forest and saw the three people drinking tea by the lake. The fairy that she could not detect with his immortal senses finally revealed her true appearance. “Oh... so beautiful...”

“Right?” Xiong Lingli echoed excitedly, although she did not know what she was excited about. Jiu Jiu and Jiu Yushi came over from the side. Jiang Lin’er waved her hand gently and grabbed a few leaves. She cast a spell and put them on for the two of them. The three of them watched from afar. Jiu Jiu praised softly and muttered, “Ling’e is not bad today. She looks better than usual.” “This Little Changshou wants to get all the benefits without saying anything?” Jiang Lin’er gritted her teeth and scolded, “If he dares to make Ling’e suffer, I will chop him up with a knife!” Jiu Jiu frowned and muttered, “Ling’e seems quite happy.” “They are fighting.” Jiu Yushi’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. “Look at Ling’e’s neck... She has changed into her most precious inner garment. That is what she prepares to wear when she gets married!” Jiu Jiu pinched her chin. “It’s really so exquisite. Look at Little Shoushou’s expression carefully. He seems a little nervous now.

The atmosphere there is probably a little frozen.” “Ah, a silly girl like Ling’e.” Jiang Lin’er revealed an expression that made her seem indifferent to the world. She pinched her throat and said, “I made a mistake and gave this heart to you. I only hope to not let you down in this life.” Jiu Jiu suddenly said, “Ling’e is about to lose! That fairy said something. Ling’e’s face is a little red.” Jiu Yushi hummed softly and suggested, “Should we help Lingle?”

“How can we help?” Jiang Lin’er asked, “After all, this is someone else’s personal matter. If Ling’e has no objections to him having two partners, Changshou can have an advantage. We can’t interfere. Speaking of which, what cultivation level is that person at? Why did my spiritual perception jump when I teased her just now? It was as if I was facing a life-and-death calamity. Lingli, did you hear Changshou and Ling’e call this fairy by her name?”

“Cousin called her Fairy. Ling’e called her Sister...”

“I have an idea!”

Jiu Jiu clenched her fists and stepped on the stool with her slender feet in soft straw sandals. Her face was filled with fighting spirit.

“If neither of us cares and Ling’e falls, we will be in trouble! If we won’t help, Ling’e will be so worried that she gets flustered! Think about it. If the Little Qiong Peak has a different leader, can we still be so carefree? We have to let Ling’e know that she has someone supporting her from behind!”

“Psht!”

Jiang Lin’er could not help but laugh. “If you want to help, go ahead. Why did you drag us into the water? Don’t let the fairy misunderstand.” “Why should I help? I’m not as good as Little Changshou.” Jiu Jiu snorted. “Master’s wife, are you going to help me? If you’re not going to help me tell Master what you said when you were drunk...”

“Help, help! I will help!” Jiang Lin’er smiled helplessly. “Your master’s skin is thinner than paper. If he knows that I accidentally told him about the interesting things in my room, he would probably go into seclusion for thousands of years. Seriously, he is even more shy than women. He has cultivated the Dao Fruit of Longevity for nothing! Tell me, Jiu Jiu, what do you want to do?”

Jiu Jiu pinched her chin and pondered for a while. Soon, she said proudly, “Hmph... I have my own plans.”

Some time passed.

A white cloud carried four figures from the chess room to the lake.

The three figures who were drinking tea and chatting under the shade of the trees by the lake looked over.

The white cloud landed a few feet away and gently exploded on the grass, revealing the figures of the four women. It could be said that each of them had their own merits.

They moved in unison and each carried a tray as they stepped forward slowly. Li Changshou was speechless. He wanted to complain but could not say anything. He could only raise his hand and rub his eyelids. Jiu Yushi, who was at the front, was delicate, charming, dignified, and elegant. She bowed to Fairy Yun Xiao and lowered the tray in her hand. She placed a plate of snacks in front of Ling’e.

There was a word written on each of the plates of snacks that were stacked.

Jiu Yushi bowed and retreated. Jiang Lin’er, who was wearing the Immortal Du Sect’s standard immortal dress, walked forward and placed a plate of snacks marked with the word ‘Ling’e’ on the short table. She also bowed and retreated. Fairy Yun Xiao nodded with a smile. Ling’e, on the other hand, blushed and could not help but cover her face with her hands. Then, Xiong Lingli, who was like a fake mountain, squatted in front of the short table in her tight fairy dress. Her fingers pinched the dessert plate that looked like a toy. She chuckled and put it down before running away. The word ‘must’ was written on that plate of snacks.

Xiong Lingli retreated. Jiu Jiu walked forward in the same immortal dress that she had worn once in a thousand years. She put down the last plate with the word ‘win’ and said gently, “Everyone, take your time and enjoy these snacks. Inform us if you don’t have enough.” Yun Xiao nodded slightly and said gently, “Thank

you.”

The faint light from the lake’s reflection landed on Yun Xiao’s crystalline and delicate skin. It shone on her face, which was neither charming nor sultry, but was also extremely beautiful. Jiu Jiu could not help but stare at her. “No, it’s fine. Fairy... please enjoy...” After saying that, Jiu Jiu quickly turned around and raised her head to hit her forehead again. Then, she quickly walked away. She did not say a single word that she had prepared to say! Ling’e really did not see the situation at the short table. Before she could think of a way to explain and help everyone, she heard a voice transmission from her Grandmaster. She looked up at the forest not far away.

At that moment, the four “fairies” of the Little Qiong Peak’s retirement group were raising their hands high. They were swaying like water plants. According to the order of delivery of the snacks, they jumped and turned around, revealing the words on their backs.

“Junior Sister Must Win!”

‘Ling’e must win, Junior Sister must win?’ As Xiong Lingli was too big in size, she emphasized the word ‘must’. Ling’e almost cried when she saw that... Don’t you know who my opponent is? “Ahem.” Li Changshou introduced, “The person who walked over just now is my Aunt-Master, whom I’m close to. There is also my Grandmaster from the Little Qiong Peak. There other one is my other Aunt-Master, who was my master’s childhood friend in his previous life and returned to the sect after reincarnation.”

“Sister, don’t think too much. Everyone, everyone is just...”

Yun Xiao smiled and said softly, “Everyone is interesting.” “Junior Sister, Fairy.” Li Changshou picked up his teacup and took a sip. “Why don’t we go to the Black Pool Peak on the side? I’ll cook a meal today.” Yun Xiao said gently, “Can you let me and Ling’e take a few steps back? I have a few words to say to Ling’e.” Li Changshou frowned. “Fairy?”

“Don’t worry. I will not bully Ling’e.”

Li Changshou still said, “I’m afraid that’s not appropriate...” Ling’e interrupted her senior brother for the first time. “Senior Brother, let me be alone with Sister Yun Xiao.”

“Alright, come over earlier.” Li Changshou stood up and looked at the two of them worriedly. He turned around and rode a cloud towards the Black Pool Peak. At the same time, he activated the paper effigy in Ling’e’s sleeve. However, before Li Changshou could hear anything, Yun Xiao pointed her slender finger at Ling’e’s sleeve and Li Changshou’s paper effigy lost contact.

What?

Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. He immediately activated the paper effigies all over the Little Qiong Peak and suddenly realized that Ling’e and Yun Xiao were already on a cloud boat, floating on the spiritual lake. Their immortal senses were isolated and they could not hear or see through anything. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Forget it. If you don’t want me to listen, just don’t listen.

When he landed on the Black Pool Peak on a cloud, Bai Ze had already pinched his beard and walked over from the side of the pool quickly. The gloominess from before was gone. He circled Li Changshou twice and clicked his tongue more than ten times. He raised his thumb and sent a voice transmission. “Water God, just based on that alone, His Majesty is far inferior to you! Fairy Yun Xiao actually took the initiative to visit. Hehe, I thought that you and Fairy Yun Xiao... Hehe. Impressive.”

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission unhappily. “What’s so impressive about that? What if they fight?”

“Ah, don’t worry. How can a mighty figure like Fairy Yun Xiao be jealous of Little Ling’e?” Bai Ze smiled and continued to send a voice transmission. “He should really be looking for Ling’e. Relax, relax. However, speaking of which, Water God, your luck with women is really extraordinary. You’ve also attracted Youqin Xuanya, whom we had been discussing previously, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu is quite interested in you too.” Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. “Don’t make up these things. If I say that I’m dedicated to the Dao, no one will believe me.”

“I believe you,” Bai Ze replied seriously. “Otherwise, why would you have such a cultivation level in hundreds of years, Water God?”

“Mr. Bai!”

Li Changshou was instantly touched. Just as he was about to call him “confidant”, Bai Ze pursed his lips. “It’s a pity that the Grand Pure One does not believe

it.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “Let’s cook. I’m the head chef today. Come and help me cut the vegetables and wash the pot!” “Water God, don’t be anxious. I’m coming!”

“Well...”

On the cloud boat that rippled with the waves, Lingle looked at the fairy sitting beside her, who was less than a foot away from her. She wanted to break the silence, but she did not know what to say. Yun Xiao stared at Ling’e’s face and asked softly, “Did I make things difficult for you?”

“No!”

Ling’e immediately answered, “When Senior Brother looked at Sister Fairy, his gaze was very gentle. Senior Brother is definitely the most concerned about you. He will not... make things difficult for you because of this...”

Yun Xiao shifted her gaze to Ling’e’s flustered face and said gently, “Are you afraid that I’ll blame him?” “How can you call it blaming? It’s just that... I’m actually a little afraid of this. However, it’s just a little. It’s very... small.”

“You’re really as your senior brother said. You’re a silly girl.” Yun Xiao raised her hand gently and grabbed Ling’e’s wrist. She sighed.

Ling’e mustered her courage and asked softly, “Sister, Sister, do you have something on your mind too?”

“Those who are unwilling to tell others are naturally troubled.”

Yun Xiao looked at the lake and said slowly, “Before I came here, I walked for a long time in the mortal world. I wanted to find an answer regarding this matter.”

Ling’e blinked. “Answer?”

“The answer to the relationship between men and women, the Dao of Yin and Yang, and the marriage of living beings,” Yun Xiao said softly. “I’m a Connate lifeform. Before I got along with your senior brother, I never had such thoughts. My foster brother and two sisters are the same. They don’t know much about mortal feelings.

If I want to comprehend the Dao, I have to know the reason first. For that, I went to the mortal world to explore the Dao of Marriage. However, in the end, I realized that I seem to be wrong. The Dao of Marriage of Postnatal living beings is closely related to the reproduction of living beings. Marriage is driven by mortal desires, and that is what I lack.”

She looked disappointed and her voice became more ethereal.

“Your senior brother and I have yet to become Dao companions. He did not dare to reject me at the beginning. Gradually, he developed a good impression of me and his good impression of me grew. However, what he does not know is that after I fell into the Love Tribulation, my Dao heart was changing every second. As a result, my Dao heart could not erase his figure. It was like a demonic barrier. When I suddenly realized it, I realized that the coldness of cultivation over the years had turned into admiration for him.

However, I was wrong in the end.” “Senior Brother is... Yes, he is indeed very interesting.” Ling’e said that. Looking at Fairy Yun Xiao’s increasingly dejected expression, she felt her heart ache. “What did you do wrong, Sister? This matter is in my heart. As long as you don’t dislike me, I... Won’t...”

“I was wrong. I was wrong to enter the love tribulation. I should break through the tribulation first before getting to know him.” Yun Xiao chuckled and rubbed Ling’e’s hand. She sighed and said, “After meeting him the last time, two questions kept spinning in my heart. If I pass the Love Tribulation and my Dao heart regains clarity, will I still see him? Can we really cultivate the Marriage Fruit?”

Ling’e blinked in surprise. “Can you do that?” “The higher one’s cultivation realm is, the closer they are to the Dao. If the day I cultivate the Marriage Fruit with him is the day I break through the tribulation, wouldn’t that hurt him? Those like me who are useless to the Dao are considered demonic karma. That’s why I went to the mortal world of the human race and realized that I was wrong again.”

“What did you do wrong again?”

“In marriage, a Connate lifeform like me actually can’t give him the response he deserves. The human nature is to protect and support each other. In the end, I can’t give him these.” Ling’e could not help but frown and think. She tried her best to understand the meaning behind Yun Xiao’s words.

“Sister, you feel that... you fell in love with my senior brother because there is a void in your Dao Heart. Senior Brother is constantly opening up his heart to you but you’re worried that when the two of you reach the step of becoming Dao companions, your Dao heart will be restored to perfection, your feelings for Senior Brother will fade. Is that so? Then, you observed how the mortal couples lived and you also feel that you’re a Connate lifeform and cannot give Senior

Brother the kind of feeling of sharing hardships and living together?” Yun Xiao smiled gently and said, “You’re really extremely intelligent.” Ling’e smiled in embarrassment. A wisp of white smoke appeared above her head. She almost fainted! “Moreover...” The helplessness in Yun Xiao’s eyes became stronger. “I deduced that there might be a huge calamity in the future that is close to him. It is really unfair to him to bring him into my calamity. However, I can’t be decisive with him...”

Ling’e said softly, “Sister, did you come here today to see me?”

“That’s right. I wanted to come and see you.” Yun Xiao placed Ling’e’s hand on her knee. “I also want to tell you that even if your Senior Brother and I become Dao companions, we are going to be more like peers on the path of cultivation... You don’t have to worry about that. You are the only one who can give him the love he needs. After today, I will enter seclusion until the great calamity arrives. I will try my best to exclude him from the great calamity. If I can survive the calamity...”

“Senior Brother actually knows about your calamity, Sister.”

“Huh?” Yun Xiao was caught off guard.

Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and said firmly, “Although Senior Brother never told me that, I’m certain that he definitely knows about it. In the beginning, when he gave me this jade hairpin, he smiled when you’re mentioned. There was a hint of helplessness and gloominess in his eyes. Moreover, there was some conflict in his words. Senior Brother must have fallen for you at that time.

However, what made Senior Brother stop!? At first, I thought that Senior Brother felt that his cultivation level was too different from Sister’s. However, later on, I realized that it was not the case. After Senior Brother mentioned you to me twice, he clearly made a decision and began to plan something... Every time he schemed, he would sit there and think for years. I occasionally saw the plans that Senior Brother had drawn. A cloud should you Sister...

After that, I was on the mountain. I did not know what my senior brother had done outside. However, from the traces of the scrolls in his straw hut, I could tell that he had already begun to take action. The most important thing here should be two copper coins with small wings. Before the underground secret chamber was rebuilt, the portraits of the two copper coins were hung on the wall of the secret chamber. Later, Senior Brother took them off...”

Yun Xiao flipped her hand and a copper coin appeared in her palm. “Yes, yes! That’s it!”

“I feel most at ease leaving this here.”

Yun Xiao was clearly stunned.

Ling’e suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and pinched her mouth. How could she fight? She had betrayed him! Suddenly, she felt two soft hands brushing past her shoulders. Before Ling’e could react, she was already hugged by the fairy beside her. Huh?!

“After I leave, help me pass this hug to him.”

“This... this can be relayed too?”

“I’m not that close to him yet. I can’t be that close to him.” Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with relief. “After all, before him, I should be the one calling you Sister, Ling’e. After all, I only think about how I should treat him. Ling’e, you have always been selfless and never thought about yourself. I’m far inferior to you.” The tips of Ling’e’s ears were slightly red. She tidied her hair beside her ears in a panic. “I’m so much younger than you... Let’s go over. Senior Brother’s culinary skills are amazing!”
