Chapter 185 I Can’t Do It!
Ding
Bang
He did not know if it was an illusion, but when he went out, he heard the ringing of the gate of the sect. It was hurried, heavy, and tense.
When he returned to the Immortal Du Sect, the bell that Li Changshou heard was actually so light and fast. There was a slight change in the sound and a slight commotion...
In the morning, the treasure ship arrived at the mountain gate. The elders who stayed behind to guard the gate, as well as the Peak Masters and immortal seedlings, went out to welcome them.
The Peak Master of the Little Qiong Peak, the Turbid Immortal Qi Yuan, and Ling’e, the third person of the Little Qiong Peak, stayed quietly in a corner.
When the treasure ship stopped, the protective array formation around them was closed. The Sect Leader and the elders appeared together, and the disciples bowed in unison.
Soon after, Ling’e saw her senior brother, who was among the disciples who had returned. Her heart instantly calmed down, and a smile graced her beautiful face.
Ling’e was just about to wave at her senior brother when she suddenly felt a “Steadiness Sutra warning” in her heart. She immediately remained standing obediently and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a high wall appeared in front of Ling’e. Most of the sky was blocked by it. Before Ling’e could react, an adorable young girl’s face appeared in her sight...
Huh?
How could there be a human head on the stone statue?
Fortunately, Ling’e was raised by her senior brother. Her mental fortitude was not bad. She subconsciously smiled politely and did not immediately dodge. At the side, Li Changshou was bowing to Qi Yuan. “Greetings, Master.”
Old Daoist priest Qi Yuan said warmly, “Okay, okay. Have you gotten anything from this trip?”
“I have learned a lot from you, Master.”
Li Changshou chuckled and answered. Then, he pointed at Xiong Lingli and said, “Master, this is my cousin. She’s also the in-name disciple that our Sect Leader just accepted. I want to arrange for her to stay on our Little Qiong Peak and cultivate.”
Qi Yuan was shocked. He looked at Xiong Lingli and quickly sent his eldest disciple a voice transmission.
“This is the Sect Leader’s in-name disciple. Our peak is poor. Would this be appropriate?”
Li Changshou shot his Master a glance to assure him that he would be there to handle everything. Qi Yuan immediately stopped doubting and exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiong Lingli. Xiong Lingli had long been warned by Li Changshou. She bowed and said, “Senior Brother Qi Yuan, please take care of me in the future.”
The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan replied politely and said that he would need her to take care of him too.
Ling’e tilted her head slightly. She thought, Senior Brother’s... cousin?
Impossible. If he really had a cousin, how could I not know?
She had secretly used the spiritual fish to bribe the female elder of the Hundred Mortal Hall and had seen the information of her senior brother’s family...
Immediately, Ling’e imagined a big scene in her mind. She heard Li Changshou say to Xiong Lingli in a mellow voice, “Cousin, let’s go back to the peak and talk. I’ll arrange a place for you to stay in today.”
Ling’e felt as if a cat had crawled into her heart and scratched it continuously, making her want to ask about it immediately. However, she did not dare to ask directly. It was very uncomfortable...
Back then, her senior brother took a few days to build her a straw hut!
Senior Brother said just now that he wanted to arrange a place for his “cousin” who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, within a day!
Could it be... impossible!
No, nothing is impossible when it comes to Senior Brother!
Although the possibility was very small, it’s not impossible for there to be a romance between cousins...
At that moment, Lingle’s heart was in a mess.
From the start of the ‘Aged Beauties’ incident, she had no idea what type of woman her Senior Brother liked.
In her eyes, her senior brother was the most extraordinary person in the world. All the male Qi Refinement cultivators outside the sect were not as unique and special as her senior brother! Therefore, even though her Senior Brother suddenly brought back a young girl who looked like an iron tower and told her that he wanted to make the girl his Dao companion tomorrow, Ling’e would believe him!
Could it be that Senior Brother does not like pure and innocent girls like Senior Sister Youqin?
He doesn’t like me either because we’re too close to each other and he’s too embarrassed to court me.
Is it because Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu led him to have a biased view of beauty, and he fell for... a burly girl?
“Let’s go back first.”
Qi Yuan said gently. He waved his horsetail whisk and made a white cloud appear.
The old Daoist priest was worried that his immortal power was turbid and so the white clouds could not bear enough weight. He deliberately thickened the white clouds under Xiong Lingli’s feet by half a meter.
Then, white clouds floated into the sect and headed towards the various peaks.
He suddenly heard Jiu Jiu’s shout.
“Changshou! Ling’e... I’ll go and listen to Master’s lecture first and then come over to play with you!”
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect could not help but smile.
Many disciples looked at the four of them enviously. Most of them were male.
Ling’e, who was in a state of confusion, forced a smile. Li Changshou nodded with a smile, as if he had agreed to Little Aunt-Master’s request.
At that moment, Youqin Xuanya stared at the backs of the four people from Little Qiong Peak. However, she seemed to have something to say.
Forget it. After a few days, I’ll go to the Little Qiong Peak to apologize to Senior Brother on a quiet night...
“Ah.”
Youqin Xuanya sighed softly. She was a little disappointed and followed her master to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Her master, Jiang Jingshan, witnessed everything
As a Peak Leader, Qi Yuan had no objections to the addition of one more member to Little Qiong Peak...
Qi Yuan only instructed his two disciples not to be rude to Little Aunt-Master. Then, he turned around and returned to his straw hut. He ignored everything outside the window and focused on the Great Dao of Dreams.
However... Ling’e panicked.
Her senior brother had really built a straw hut for his “cousin” who had just arrived, within two hours!
It was an even larger version!
Lingle’s ridiculous conjecture seemed to have been proven. Furthermore, his senior brother had specially called her to the side to watch. He had used the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique that he had rarely revealed previously to make the paper effigies work at the same time!
What was even more frightening was that after Senior Brother finished settling his cousin’s residence, he gave her a meaningful look.
At that time, Ling’e had already confirmed... that her Senior Brother really liked women who looked stronger!
Although her senior brother’s taste was unique and completely beyond her expectations, she felt that it was indeed typical of her senior brother!
Although she could not help but feel a little disappointed, it was also rather tricky...
However, the “bad news” came one after another.
Li Changshou said, “Ling’e, let Lingli be the one to feed the fish in the lake and the spiritual beasts in the spiritual beast enclosure in the future.”
What is this?
How could Ling’e not understand that he was giving half of the power in her hands to his “cousin”!?!
When Ling’e was young, she had seen a lot of things happening behind closed doors of the rich and powerful families. In order to fight for some power, the mistresses would put on fake smiles and pull tricks secretly. She had seen all sorts of moves and tricks...
She did not think that she would one day be challenged!
How could Ling’e just admit defeat like that!?!
She made up her mind and dressed herself up. Then, she picked up some rouge powder and prepared to give it to Aunt-Master Xiong Lingli as a gift, in a bid to make her presence more known.
However, just as Ling’e walked to the newly built straw hut next door, she heard the conversation between her senior brother and Aunt-Master Xiong Lingli...
“Cousin, can I only address you as my cousin in the future?”
“Yes, you have to address me that way at all times.”
“Oh, okay. I will listen to you. I can do anything you ask, Cousin!”
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck Ling’e’s back, followed by a gust of wind that disturbed her mind.
A hidden, hidden relationship... she can do anything he asks...
I clearly can do anything for Senior Brother too!
Why is Heaven treating me like this!?!
Is it because I’m too skinny and not strong enough?
Could it be that the sense of security Senior Brother wanted can only be given by a woman like Aunt-Master Xiong...
Ling’e turned around silently and returned to her straw hut. She took out an Erhu and sighed in a melancholic manner.
She sat in front of the door, looking lonely. She placed the Erhu on her lap and started to pull the strings gently...
I’ll start training my physique tomorrow.
However, how could I train to the point of looking like Aunt-Master Xiong?
Although she had yet to take action, Lingle knew clearly that this time... she really could not do it.
She played a sorrowful tune with the Erhu and snowflakes fluttered in her heart.
The laughter in the room next door reminded her of a sentence— ‘The new members are always laughing. Who would have heard the older ones crying? Would they ask or would they pretend to be confused?’
In the end, there was a cold side and a warm side on Little Qiong Peak...
“Why is it such a sad song? Don’t you want me to come back?”
Suddenly, she heard a chuckle outside the straw hut. Li Changshou had already settled Xiong Lingli down and walked over with his hands behind his back.
“No... I’ll change it now...”
Ling’e lowered her head and answered. Then, she took out an ocarina. She took a gentle breath and played... a desolate tune.
Li Changshou smiled and did not say a word. He sat in his personal circular chair in Ling’e’s room and raised his hand to activate the array formation around the Ling’e straw hut.
Li Changshou asked, “Have you been cultivating diligently while I was away?”
“I was quite hardworking.” Ling’e sniffled and bit her lips. She forced a smile. “Senior Brother...”
Li Changshou calmly said, “Lingli is not my cousin. She has the bloodline of the Magihumans and is considered my underling. You don’t have to ask about other matters. When the time is ripe, I will let you know a little more.”
Ling’e tilted her head and blinked. She was dumbfounded...
Underling?
She shushed and asked, “Senior Brother, did you secretly create a new faction behind your back?”
“Don’t spout nonsense!”
Li Changshou glared at her and reprimanded her.
Is he creating a new force?
He was clearly forced to set up his own force and had no choice but to turn the Sea God Sect into his own faction!
“Lingli has the bloodline of a Magihuman, and is born with mystical abilities. She loves to eat bloodied food. However, her self-control is not bad. I asked her to manage the spiritual beast enclosure. I will also rear some spiritual beasts that grow faster in the spiritual beast enclosure. That way, she would not have to go out hunting. Later, you can teach her how to grow crops and plant vegetables. That way, we can reduce the consumption of spiritual beasts.”
Li Changshou thought for a while and reminded, “Also, even if you grow closer to Lingli, you must stay away from her and be careful at all times. Sometimes, when she’s happy, she can slap you hard.”
Ling’e was secretly shocked. “Is it that scary?”
“She’s even more terrifying when she activates her bloodline mystical abilities.” Li Changshou deliberately frightened Ling’e and said with a smile, “However, when she grows up, she will be able to protect you and Master. This will naturally take a long time.”
Wait!
Ling’e blinked. From what Senior Brother said...
Did I misunderstand something again?
Li Changshou smiled and said, “You saw me building a straw hut for her just now. What did you think?”
Ling’e hurriedly said, “No, I don’t have any thoughts.”
Li Changshou squinted and chuckled. He took out a piece of spiritual paper from his sleeve and skillfully cut it into a small paper effigy. Then, Li Changshou blew at the paper effigy and threw it out. The paper effigy flipped in the air and landed in front of Ling’e, turning into a small child.
The paper effigy got into a horse’s stance and kept shouting, “Ha! Hey! Ha!” He kept punching forward with his small hands.
Ling’e gasped in admiration...
Li Changshou smiled and said, “How is it?”
“Senior Brother, this is fun!”
It’s fun?
This is the main mystical ability used for the one-stop service, ranging from killing to burial!
“Come over. I’ll teach you the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique today. In the future, you can also... create a band of paper effigies or something.”
He wanted to say that he wanted her to have more abilities to deal with the enemy, but he felt that if Ling’e had to face an enemy, that small ability would not help.
“Pass... pass it to me?” Ling’e asked in shock. “If not, who else can I pass it on to?” Li Changshou smiled till his eyes narrowed. “Do you think I will take in a disciple in the future, or will I let Master take in another disciple?”
Ling’e was stunned for a moment before she smiled happily. With her hands behind her back, she took two steps forward and arrived in front of the table.
“Senior Brother, you said it yourself. I want to be your only Little Junior Sister!”
Li Changshou smiled but did not say anything. He beckoned her to step forward...
He took some spare pieces of paper and first explained the basic principles of the mystical ability. Then, he taught her the paper-cutting technique, the Dharma powers, and the basic training methods for multitasking.
Of course, how to choose and collect spiritual tree sap was also an essential part of the process.
The sunlight shone through the window into the house...
The young Daoist priest, who was sitting in the round chair, was explaining the techniques patiently.
A beautiful young lady in a blue dress sat on a round chair on the other side of the table.
She leaned her body to the side and supported herself with her jade-like arms. She held her chin with her right hand and listened attentively from time to time. At times, she would be distracted. She could not help but take a closer look at her senior brother’s face...
She was always discovered by her senior brother who would raise his hand to slap her forehead.
Li Changshou said seriously, “Listen carefully. If you can’t learn it within three days, I’ll punish you by making you copy the ‘Steadiness Sutra’ and the ‘Supreme Enlightenment Sutra’ a thousand times!”
Ling’e immediately shivered and quickly calmed herself down to listen carefully.
It was not a big deal if it was just the Steadiness Sutra, but the Sutra of Enlightenment was a genuine Ren School sutra. It was more than ten thousand words...
At the same time... on Golden Ao Island, the famous Dao venue of Jie School at the intersection between the South Ocean and East Ocean, Ao Yi, who was preparing for his wedding and accompanying his fiancée, was escorted back to the island by a dragon expert.
He had no choice. His master, the Black Clouds Immortal, had summoned him. How could he dare to be any slower?
However, what Ao Yi did not expect was that when he returned to Golden Ao Island, he was enveloped by a golden ray of light. Before he could react, Ao Yi was swept away by the golden light and placed in a hidden Cave Abode.
Fortunately, he recognized that that was his master’s Cave Abode...
Before he could see the two figures sitting in front of him, Ao Yi heard his master ask him warmly, “Disciple, I remember that you are the Second Sect Master of the Sea God Sect, right?”
