My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 227 Master Zhao’s… Female Fan?

Li Changshou had already predicted that situation.

Furthermore, it happened much later than Li Changshou had expected.

Secretly instigating the immortals of Jie School to deal with the Sea God of the South Ocean who comes from the Ren School… That was not considered a brilliant scheme. Instead, it was more like a strategy. It also proved that the Western Sect had begun to take the influence that the Sea God had on the dragon race, rather seriously.

Li Changshou used his immortal senses to scan the various parts of the Little Qiong Peak while the six immortals from Jie School had not arrived yet.

He wondered if he would have a Little Aunt-Master or something in the coming year…

Tsk, after going through so much trouble, the matter between the Dao companions, the shy Exalted Wang Qing, and the arrogant Grandmaster finally settled down.

Li Changshou fully understood how troublesome and difficult it was to have a Dao companion with an extraordinary personality.

The pair of old immortals had a relationship foundation that had lasted for thousands of years. In the end, the Little Grandmaster decisively severed it…

Forget it, I won’t mention it.

He might as well compete with the Western Sect in terms of intelligence and bravery in plotting against them. It would be easier for him to act like emperor and subordinate on the surface with the Jade Emperor than be “brothers” with the dragon!

At the same time, he wanted to use those matters to repay his debt of merit.

The six immortals from Jie School arrived at a spot that was more than a hundred kilometers south of Anshui City.

The paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal stood up and held onto his horsetail whisk.

“The temple welcomes the guests.”

Outside the rear hall, a Divine Envoy answered and ran.

The main temple had stopped receiving visitors an hour ago. At that moment, they were only sending the remaining visitors out.

Then, the group of burly men stood outside the rare hall, each of them exuding a murderous aura.

People like Master Zhao, who had been living in the Primordial World would be served good wine and tea during his visit to the temple.

The six immortals whom they had never met before and were there to interrogate them would be greeted by… a group of strong men who had buff arms. “Be serious!”

The Xiong Village witches who were guarding outside the entrance were laughing and playing a fool. The Sea God Temple was instantly filled with a cheerful and “muscular” aura.

The six immortals from Jie School had already appeared in the sky.

Li Changshou rode a cloud and took the initiative to welcome them. That incarnation had a smile on his face and looked very benevolent. It gave people a vibe that he had experienced many things and looked indifferent.

Of course, it was not that he looked down on everything and despised training. Instead, it was the vibe of being indifferent about everything and was not obsessed with competition.

That was also a layer of disguise. With that incarnation, he gave the other party the initial impression that the Sea God of the South Ocean was an old man. He wanted to protect his main body.

Li Changshou flew into the sky. The six of them looked at each other. A young girl in a light yellow short dress took half a step forward and stood in front of the other five.

Clearly, she was the person in charge.

There was no need to mention the girl’s appearance. Those who could cultivate the Golden Immortal realm were mostly because they were beautiful, though some were because of special preferences.

What was eye-catching was the girl’s attire, which was different from most female Qi Refinement cultivators.

She was wearing a short dress, cloth boots, corsages, and bracelets, and her long hair was tied into two small

buns, which made her look young. However, the pressure emanating from her body…

She was a real Golden Immortal. She was not an ordinary Golden Immortal like Ji Wuyou!

She was quite polite. She frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist, you are the Sea God of the South Ocean.”

“Yes, it’s me.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. “I already know why you are here. Please come with me to the temple and listen to my explanation. After all, this is the mortal world. It’s not good to scare mortals.”

The female Golden Immortal blinked and suddenly pointed at the street near the Sea God Temple that was as lively as before.

“Are they frightened?”

Li Changshou turned his head and saw that the mortals were doing what they were supposed to do. There were only a few children and a few visitors who came from afar. They would look up at the situation in the sky…

The people of Anshui City were already used to the fact that immortals often visited the Sea God Temple. Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s still not appropriate.”

“Hmph.” The young girl pursed her lips. “In my opinion, you have a guilty conscience, Fellow Daoist! Since you know why we are here, let me ask you, did you plot against the outer sect disciples?” Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Fellow Daoist, why did you say that? Why don’t we go to the rear hall first? There are some things that we can’t say directly here.”

“Since you’re not guilty, why do you have to hide?”

The girl frowned slightly and stared into Li Changshou’s eyes. “You must have schemed against Senior Brother Gongming.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

That was the only thing he dared to swear that Zhao Gongming was indeed the one who voluntarily jumped into the pit!

He had originally wanted to convince Perfected Huang Long but he did not expect Zhao Gongming to be so enthusiastic and excited. He clamored about the three sects being one family and went all out.

He even lied down!

However, at that moment, Li Changshou could only convince the other party to leave first. If they spoke there, it would be easy for him to expose some information…

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, you said that I schemed against Senior Gongming. Do you have any evidence and witnesses?”

The young girl was a little puzzled. “What is evidence and witness?”

“It’s the person or object that proves the validity of this matter.”

“I heard everyone on the island say that. Of course, it can’t be fake!”

The girl in the yellow dress puffed out her chest and raised her head. She was surprisingly wealthy. She said coldly, “There can’t be anyone who plots against an illegitimate god like you who only gets merits from incense offerings. The Western Sect and the Jie School are both major sects in the world. What is your background?”

Li Changshou was not angry. In fact… he wanted to laugh.

Since the other party could say that, it meant that his disguise was passable. Moreover, the other party’s words had exposed too much information.

Those six immortals should be the “onlookers” who had been incited by Golden Ao Island. They did not even know about the connection between the Sea God Sect and the Ren School in the South Ocean. Yet, they rushed over to interrogate him…

That kind of person was usually not easy to deceive. However, even though their power was mismatched, Li Changshou would not hold back.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “In terms of background, I’m considered a member of Ren School. If you don’t know about this, why don’t you go around and investigate?”

“Are you from Ren School?”

Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. His body circulated little Dao runes, and the expressions of the few immortals from Jie School changed slightly.

The ‘Inaction Sutra’ and the ‘Great Pure Dao’ were of the same lineage. The former was purely a cultivation technique, while the latter was not only a cultivation technique but also a theory written by many Saints. In terms of value, the ‘Great Pure Dao’ that the Great Venerable One had given him, was definitely better.

What Li Changshou had revealed at that moment was the Dao runes cultivated by the ‘Great Pure Dao’. It was also proof of his identity as a disciple of Ren School.

The yellow-dressed girl frowned slightly.

A middle-aged man at the side cupped his hands and smiled. “We were a little rash previously. I didn’t know that you are from the Dao Sect. Please don’t take offense.”

Li Changshou smiled warmly. “Everyone, can we have a talk inside now?”

“Of course.” The girl in the yellow dress snorted. “Even if you are a member of the Ren School, I will definitely not let you off if you had really plotted against Senior Brother Gongming!”

Huh?

Why is she speaking that way?

Li Changshou curiously sized up the girl who was a little unruly. Could it be… maybe… perhaps…

Is she in a relationship with Master Zhao?

When he thought of Master Zhao’s handsome face when he was holding his beard, he looked at the young girl…

Uh, it’s the Primordial World. I’m already used to all the bizarreness.

Li Changshou turned around and made an inviting gesture. He swept his horsetail whisk and led the six of them down.

The Divine Envoys on both sides cupped their fists and bowed at the same time. Their movements were neat and orderly, and they looked rather powerful. The six immortals on Golden Ao Island frowned. The other five followed behind the girl in the yellow dress and entered the rear hall.

Once he entered the Sea God Sect, things would be much easier.

Li Changshou, who was leading the way, gently flung the horsetail whisk. Their gazes followed the tip of the horsetail whisk and landed on… the painting.

They were all disciples of Jie School. The girl in the yellow dress had heard the Saint’s preachings several times. At that moment, there was a look of shock on her pretty face.

Not only the yellow-dressed girl but the other five also sensed the sword intent in the mountain and river painting, as well as the traces of the Dao that they were familiar with…

This is!

The six immortals looked at each other and saw the fear in the eyes of the other five.

The girl in yellow frowned and asked, “Why do you have my Saint’s painting here?”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “It’s a gift from a good friend.”

The six immortals of Jie School immediately allowed their imaginations to run wild.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoists, please take a seat. I will tell you in detail about what I want to ask. Fellow Daoists, please tell this matter to the fellow Daoists on Golden Ao Island. Don’t misunderstand again.”

The six immortals did not say anything. They took a seat on either side.

The yellow-dressed girl asked, “Is this a misunderstanding?”

“Of course it’s a misunderstanding.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Before we talk about this, why don’t we share our names with each other first? I’m a member of Ren School. Now, I’m relying on the Sea God Sect to accumulate some incense offerings. My Daoist name is… Changgeng.” “So it’s you, Fellow Daoist Changgeng!”

One of them cupped his hands in greeting out of habit. However, the girl in yellow glared at him and he could only nod bitterly.

The six immortals introduced themselves. Although the girl in yellow did not say anything, someone else spoke for her… “This is the ten Heavenly Lord of our Golden Ao Island, her name is Goddess of Golden Light.”

Goddess of Golden Light? Is she this unreasonable girl?

Li Changshou sighed in his heart.

Why is there another visitor who’s the future legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts who would suffer in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

The Goddess of Golden Light was one of the ten Heavenly Lords. She was the foster sister of Heavenly Lord Qin Wan, not a disciple of the four major sects, Goddess Jinling. Li Changshou had a rather deep impression of the Goddess Jinling.

She would end up in a miserable state during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. She followed the other nine Heavenly Monarchs and set up the Ten Absolute Arrays. She became the company of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. She was struck by the “Goddess-killer”, Guang Chengzi, with the Heavenly Seal, and died.

But then again, why do people like to call themselves goddesses? That’s so plain.

Furthermore…

Li Changshou smiled and said, “So it’s Senior, Goddess of Golden Light. Sorry for the disrespect.”

The words “Golden Light” were indeed very different from her exquisite and beautiful image of a young girl. “Hmph!”

The yellow-dressed girl, who was also the Goddess of Golden Light, curled her lips. “Don’t think that you can plot against our Senior Brother Gongming just because you know our expert! Let’s get down to business. I’ll listen. If you dare to lie, I will definitely tear down your Sea God Temple today!”

“Alright.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and began his performance today…

The Classical Revival of The Art of Language.

Li Changshou asked, “Are you familiar with Senior Gongming?”

The other five went silent.

The Goddess of Golden Light said calmly, “Of course I’m familiar with it. I’ve already known Senior Brother Gongming for a long time. When I first entered Golden Ao Island, Senior Brother had taken care of me.” “Then, how are you going to prove that you are immortals of Jie School?”

Li Changshou immediately added, “Please don’t misunderstand. What I want to say is a secret of Fellow Daoist Gongming. Everyone, why don’t you use your own name to make a huge oath? As long as you can prove that you’re an immortal of the sect, I will tell you what I can say.”

“Sure, I’ll do it. I’m not afraid of you.”

The Goddess of Golden Light stood out first. She raised her hand and swore a Great Dao oath. She said that if she was not the Goddess of Golden Light of the ten Heavenly Lords of Golden Ao Island, she would be willing to receive the punishment of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

The others followed suit and claimed their identity as immortals of Jie School.

After they made the oath, Li Changshou slowly sighed and said, “Everyone, do you think that Senior Gongming… is stupid or wise?”

“Of course he’s wise!”

The Goddess of Golden Light was the first to respond. She continued, “How can you speak like that? Everyone knows that Senior Brother Gongming is a righteous person. He takes care of us all the time and is such a smart person!”

“If that’s the case, why do you think I can plot against Senior Gongming?”

Li Changshou asked in return. The Goddess of Golden Light blinked and felt that what he said… did make some sense. “Ah, since everyone is asking, I’ll explain the situation to you in detail.”

Li Changshou sighed and began to share the story that he had processed on the spot.

He explained everything from the moment he first met the Sea God, followed the feud between him and the Western Sect, and the fact that he had gone to the Three-Immortal Island to ask Fairy Yun Xiao for help in order to persuade Senior Gong Ming…

In the middle of the night, the six people from Jie School rose from the back of the Sea God Sect with guilt written all over their faces. Before they left, the originally unreasonable Goddess of Golden Light pursed her lips and bowed to Li Changshou.

She kept saying, “I was wrong to blame you previously, Fellow Daoist Changgeng. I almost fell for someone else’s schemes. Fellow Daoist Changgeng, please forgive me.”

“If we destroyed Senior Brother Gongming’s opportunity, I really don’t know… ah…”

“Fellow Daoist Changgeng, here are some gifts to express our gratitude and respect. Please continue to plan and make strategies for our Senior Brother Gongming.”

Li Changshou, on the other hand, smiled and nodded. He watched them leave on their cloud and did not accept any gifts from the six of them.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief when the Goddess of Golden Light flew away.

Judging from the Goddess of Golden Light’s performance today, he reckoned that she should be Master Zhao’s… fangirl, who was in the Golden Immortal realm. She had been admiring him for a long time but did not dare to reveal her thoughts.

Senior Zhao Gongming should not be interested in having a Dao companion and the Goddess of Golden Light could only keep the admiration in her heart.

Li Changshou carefully recalled the stories he had told them previously. In fact, he was not lying. He had only vaguely handled some of them and did not expose any schemes related to the dragon race.

He did not know if there were other immortals from Jie School who had come to question him.

“If they keep bothering me, it will really affect my energy.”

Li Changshou mumbled and sighed softly. Just as he was about to escape using the Earth Escape, he suddenly heard a familiar, gentle voice behind him…

“Fellow Daoist, aren’t you planning to turn around and take a look?” Of course, Li Changshou could tell who that voice belonged to. Besides, he felt a little happy when he saw the other party.

However, under the circumstances where his immortal senses did not detect it, the other party suddenly spoke…

In the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s hairs stood on ends. He almost destroyed the paper effigy!
