My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 155 - Ling’e Asks For A Favor Before Leaving Ding



Chapter 155 Ling’e Asks For A Favor Before Leaving Ding

At dawn, the bell in the sect rang again.

There were forty-eight disciples from the various peaks that had been gathered previously. They rode thirty-two clouds and flew towards the Hundred Mortal Hall from all directions.

There were about sixteen Dao couples.

As one of the two leaders of the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou did not find anything unusual about that.

He was already used to it as it was a normal practice of the sect.

In the past two years, every time he went to the Hundred Mortal Hall to gather, he would hear his Senior Sister Yan’er call him “Junior Brother Qi Qi” too many times. In his heart… there were no longer any ripples.

This time, he could finally go and take a look. A large sect like the Carefree Immortal Sect had been turned into a mess by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and Elder Moon!

To be more optimistic, among the numerous factions of the Three Sects, Ren School should be the one with the most good-looking disciples!

This was probably what it meant for the males and females to be visually appealing.

In fact, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect was worried about the prosperity of Ren School. No matter what happened below, Li Changshou would not make a fuss.

The last time he spoke to the Great Daoist Master Li Changshou had euphemistically reminded him that if he wanted to let Ren School prosper by increasing marriages and reproduction, it would be a painstaking matter that would produce only half the results.

He did not know if the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had accepted that little suggestion.

From then on, Li Changshou had given the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du a gilded and masculine title—the oldest bachelor of the human race!

It was said that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was the first human to be created by Goddess Nuwa.

According to Ren School’s records, at that time, the Grand Pure One had already obtained a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi and had to attain the Dao of the Three Corpses. However, he was still a step away from becoming a Saint. Occasionally, he would see Goddess Nuwa creating humans. After some calculations, he knew that the fate of the human race was extraordinary and that they had a deep affinity with him.

Therefore, he established Ren School to protect the human race. He received merit from the Heavenly Dao and became a Saint.

After becoming a Saint, he casually selected the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of today in order to express his authority and brought him back to Kunlun Mountain where he imparted the Dao to him.

Therefore, the Great Daoist Master’s honorary title of “Oldest First Brother”…was reasonable, well-deserved, and justified!

Of course, that was just a joke.

Li Changshou had known a long time ago that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was an expert who was well-known for being the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect.

So far, the Great Daoist Master had revealed his abilities a couple of times in front of others, and each time, he had made a name for the Grand Pure One.

Li Changshou had seen detailed records of Ren School…

During the second Great Magi-Demon War of ancient times, in front of the Five Village Temple of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, who was the Earth Immortal’s Ancestor, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda above his head. He faced the East Demon Emperor Tai Yi, who wanted to kill the humans and refine the Magi-Slaughtering Sword.

A bloody battle stopped the Demon Emperor.

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du protected a small portion of the human race’s heritage and revealed the abilities of the Saint. That made the demons that were at their peak, too afraid to act recklessly against humans.

At that time, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was only a disciple for less than 129,600 years. Yet, the strength he had displayed was already superior to that of the East Emperor.

The second time the Great Daoist Master attacked, it was the third Great Magi-Demon War in ancient times, during which the human race counterattacked…

At that moment, the expert Magihumans had fought with all their might, and all the experts in the Demon Court had died. However, the Demon Court did not fall. The experts of the human race, who had yet to fully develop, took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack on the demons.

In that battle, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had appeared.

He stepped on the supreme treasure, the Taiji Painting, and the Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda above him. He held a Cosmic Scepter and barged into the Demon Court alone. He heavily injured the East Emperor Tai Yi and forced the Connate Cardinal treasure, the East Emperor Bell into the Chaotic Sea. He did not allow the East Emperor Tai Yi to pass the treasure to the mighty figures of the demon race!

In that battle, the humans gambled on their race’s luck.

They could either overthrow the Demon Court and become the protagonists of the world, gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao; or be forced to the point of extermination once

again!

What happened after that had become a legend. That man never had the chance to do anything again…

Gradually, there were not many people in the Primordial World who would mention his name.

That human protected the human race from generation to generation. He was the nameless Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School…

Now, he was only an ordinary-looking young Daoist. He liked to squint and smile. He had spent the most effort on this ‘The Ren School’s Great Reproduction Plan for Ten Thousand Years’!

While he was having those thoughts, he had arrived right in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall.

Li Changshou naturally did not dare to tell anyone about the honorary title that he had given to the Eldest Senior Brother…

There was still half a year before the Immortal Du Sect would set off for the Middle Continent.

The frequency at which the forty-eight disciples were summoned to the Hundred Mortal Hall changed from once a year to once every three months.

According to the traditions of the Middle Continent and the East Continent, there would definitely be a technical fight between disciples during such meetings.

At that time, the shorter the lifespan of the disciples who appeared, the higher their cultivation level, and the greater their abilities, the more honored the Dao factions behind them would be.

Youqin Xuanya was a disciple who had reached the eighth stage of the Dao Requital realm at a young age, were good at technical fights, mystical abilities, and excellent-looking. She was a young disciple who was about to become an immortal and transcend the tribulation. She would be able to bring glory to the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou, on the other hand, was disguised as a disciple who was almost 200 years old and was barely at the third-stage of the Dao Requital realm. His looks were not bad. Apart from array formations and escape techniques, his abilities in other aspects could only be considered ordinary. He was only a young disciple who used the Earth Escape Technique…

He would definitely not be arranged to go to the arena!

Therefore, Li Changshou took advantage of the situation and placed himself in the position of a disciple in charge of running errands.

Li Changshou did not express any opinions whenever the disciples were gathered for a discussion. He insisted on having three consecutive qualities.

“Junior Sister Yougin is right.”

“What Junior Sister Youqin said made sense.” “I’ll remember all the elders’ lectures.”

Li Changshou would become more stable and ordinary. He would gain enlightenment!

After “completely recovering from his injuries”, Li Changshou had already dealt with that situation many times in a row. He lied to the higher-ups and hid it from them… Ahem, he was getting more and more proficient in taking care of things. He had accumulated a lot of experience for his future work in the Heavenly Courts.

Li Changshou knew his limits in that aspect.

He maintained a certain distance from the immortal seedlings and outstanding disciples of the various peaks. They were quite familiar with each other, so everyone could just nod their heads and forget about it.

Now, Li Changshou’s disguise in the sect had naturally reached the third stage.

The first stage was to be “transparent” and to keep a low profile. However, other than the monthly allowance, he could only go to the Dao Repository Hall to search for trash and could not obtain many resources.

The second stage was naturally to disguise and maintain an image of a low-quality immortal seedling to make himself less conspicuous. However, many phenomena could be more reasonable.

The third stage was to follow the good examples and become a humble and steady, “Deputy” leader who did not cause trouble…

Today, the forty-eight disciples gathered in the corner of the hall again. They were lined up in an orderly manner.

Youqin Xuanya and the top eight disciples of the sect sat on the meditation cushions of the first row.

Li Changshou sat in a corner and was prepared to accept the errands that the elders might give him…

This time, it was the same as the previous times.

Elder Ge, the first elder who was in charge of the internal affairs of the sect, arrived with a few Heaven Immortal realm elders. They sat opposite the disciples and smiled kindly.

Elder Ge said warmly, “How are the preparations that you have done previously? Take them out.”

“Yes.” The disciples nodded one after another. They each took out a two-foot-wide wooden box from their storage Dharma treasures that were in the form of hairpins, rings, belts, and jade pendants. They then took out a scroll painting.

They unrolled the portraits, only to find dense lines of words on them.

Elder Ge said, “Xuanya, come and check. See if they had copied the ‘Disciple’ Principles’ thirty-six times.”

“Yes,” Youqin Xuanya answered seriously. She stood up and walked back and forth, checking the homework of her fellow disciples.

Soon, Youqin Xuanya reported, “They’ve copied enough.”

“Alright.” Elder Ge nodded slowly and said, “The content of this set of ‘Disciple’s Principles’ is very good. There are many countermeasures to take when you encounter different situations, that you have to remember at all times. In another three months, you will have to follow the Sect Leader, elders, and executives to the Golden Palace Sect of in the Middle Continent. I won’t tell you about what I’ve already mentioned previously. Today, let’s continue from where we left off during the previous lesson. Elders, please explain the last three chapters of the ‘Disciple’s Principles’.”.

Then, the disciples lowered their heads and acknowledged. The elders spoke one after another, explaining the contents of the last half of the three-thousand-word “Disciple’s Law” in detail.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He had experienced how much importance the sect placed on the Three Sects’ Meet.

However, that was just a bit of his experience. There was no need to over-interpret it.

The thing that made Li Changshou feel the most helpless was that the elders would make him write his reflections and understanding after reading…

Most importantly, he was often criticized for not answering the questions. It was very difficult for him to pass.

In the pavilion beside the spiritual beast enclosure on Little Qiong Peak…

“Ling’e, do you really not want to go to the Middle Continent?”

Jiu Jiu held the wine gourd and sat on the bed by the window. She turned to look at the forest outside and asked seriously.

Ling’e, who was clearing the dishes at the side, smiled and nodded. “My cultivation level is too low. I’ll just cultivate peacefully on the mountain.”

“There was an elder who wanted to recommend you to attend the meet previously. Why did you reject him?”

Ling’e smiled and did not say anything. She quickly eliminated the evidence of her crime and summoned a stream of spiritual spring water to wash her hands with.

Jiu Jiu did not ask further. She lay there and yawned before continuing to look at the scenery outside the window.

Jiu Jiu had been warned twice by the elders of the sect to pay more attention to her actions and words because she was attending the Three Sects’ Meet.

Thus, Jiu Jiu would switch from her usual casual demeanor to her serious mode when she was out. Her aura also changed.

There was a hint of melancholy in her serious expression. Her deep gaze revealed the beauty of a thousand years.

At that moment, she was drinking a mouthful of wine from the gourd by the window. She was exuding a profound aura from within…

Before meeting Li Changshou, that interesting little disciple-nephew, she had always been that elegant. Later on, because she was taken care of too well, she had indeed gotten a little too happy…

Ling’e carried a fruit platter and floated back into the house. She took off her embroidered shoes and sat on the bed, looking at the scenery outside.

After some thought, Ling’e decided to help her senior brother reduce some unnecessary trouble.

Thus, Ling’e whispered, “Aunt-Master Jiu, if my senior brother sits alone in the corner…”

Jiu Jiu said, “Don’t worry. I will go and tease him when the time comes!”

“Please ignore my senior brother for now,” Ling’e said with a sigh. “When my senior brother is outside, he is actually very shy and not thick-skinned at all. If a woman gets too close to him, he would feel that everyone is watching…”

“Is that so?”

Jiu Jiu suddenly recalled Li Changshou’s strange illness when she went to the North Continent.

Ling’e nodded seriously and asked Jiu Jiu a few more questions. Jiu Jiu muttered to herself and agreed earnestly.

Anyway, when the time came, her master, Exalted Wang Qing, would also go with her. She could not… be too agitated.

“The Three Sects’ Meet will be held in the Golden Palace Sect of the Middle Continent, Ao Yi.”

“I’m here.”

On Golden Ao Island, beside the Treasure Pool, a burly, middle-aged Daoist was standing in front of Ao Yi.

That Daoist had an upright face. He was neither angry nor threatening. He gave off a gentle vibe and spoke slowly.

He was Ao Yi’s master, the Black Clouds Immortal who was the leader of the seven immortals.

Ao Yi asked, “Master, do you want me to participate in this matter?”

“Yes,” answered the Great Black Clouds Immortal. He nodded and said, “The Three Sects’ Meet this time concerns the Dao Sect’s destiny. You are my only disciple. You have to attend in my place. This is yours.”

The Great Black Clouds Immortal took out a small jade turtle shell and placed it in his disciple’s hand.

“The three sects come from the same origin. This is a sentence that the Saint often says. The Saint does not want to see any conflict between us and Chan School.

Remember this. If we need to discuss something, you can hold this item in your hand. I will sense it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Ao Yi replied respectfully. The Great Black Clouds Immortal smiled and patted the top of Ao Yi’s head.

A wisp of pure energy poured into Ao Yi’s head. Ao Yi was stunned. He felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart. The realm of his aura slowly rose, and the bloodline power in his body surged!

The Immortal Master held his head and imparted the mystic realm to him.

He was enlightened and created his own Dao.

Soon, Ao Yi hugged the jade turtle shell and sank into the Treasure Pool.

The Great Black Clouds Immortal smiled and disappeared with the wind. He did not attract the attention of the other Qi Refinement cultivators on Golden Ao Island.

Half a day later, Zhao Gongming stepped on a white cloud and hurried towards Golden Ao Island…
