Chapter 21 (2/2)
Qi Yuan was afraid that Li Changshou would say something wrong, so he quickly accepted their thanks with a happy face.
Only Yuan Qing’s master, Lin Qi, was the most awkward.
“Haiz.” Lin Qi sighed and exclaimed, “I was blind when I accepted him as a disciple. I’ll accept the punishment for that when we return to the mountains.”
Jiu Wu consoled him. “Yuan Qing was extremely cunning. He had been devious since the day he entered the sect. You had accepted him as a disciple during the Sect Founding Ceremony previously. This is not your fault, Junior Brother.”
Lin Qi shook his head, dejectedly. He did not want to say anything else.
While Youqin Xuanya killing Yuan Qing was understandable and acceptable, she still had to receive punishment for killing her senior brother.
The punishment would not be very severe. She was likely to be confined in the mountains for a couple of years to think through her wrongdoings.
Jiu Wu praised Li Changshou as well. He said that the sect would definitely reward him after they returned. They would not rip him of the rewards that he deserved.
The group did not return to the Immortal Du Sect together.
Li Changshou, Liu Yan’er, w.a.n.g Ji, and their masters took their time to return to the sect.
Meanwhile, the others rushed back to the Immortal Du Sect to receive their punishments and admit their wrongdoings.
The reason why they were in such a hurry was because of Jiang Jingshan.
Youqin Xuanya’s master was not an ordinary person. She was a disciple of the Sect Leader and held a high-ranking position in the sect. Her cultivation was impressive, and she had many Dharma treasures. Jiang Jingshan and her Dao companion were very respectful towards each other. Her Dao companion was a powerful cultivator who was at the Heaven Immortal Realm.
Although the incident at the North Continent had ended, Jiang Jingshan would not allow her disciple to suffer such grievances.
Before she made her way back, Jiang Jingshan had sent a letter to her Dao companion, requesting him to find a few sect members who had time in their hands. When she returned, they could head to the South Continent to demolish the mortal world organization supporting Yuan Qing. They would not allow any potential risks to be around!
The journey back to the mountain was peaceful and mundane.
However, while they were on their way, Li Changshou would always s.h.i.+ver when he heard Liu Yan’er calling her ‘Junior Brother Ji Ji’ fondly.
Cough… That’s a cultural difference. In Li Changshou’s original world, ‘Junior Brother Ji Ji’ sounded similar to ‘Junior Brother D*ck’…
…
The Little Qiong Peak was very peaceful at night. A white cloud stopped above the mountain. Li Changshou drifted off the cloud, while Qi Yuan headed to the other mountains on the cloud with a happy face.
Li Changshou’s master had just received an invitation from Liu Yan’er’s master to gather and enjoy some wine.
When Li Changshou crossed the isolation array formation that he had set up and stepped on the familiar gra.s.s patch, he let out a breath comfortably.
‘Everything’s so peaceful.’
“Senior Brother!”
A happy cry sounded from beside him. Li Changshou turned his head and saw the green lights that were surrounding his junior sister’s straw hut.
The little array formation that was used to prevent outsiders from detecting what was happening inside had a crack, which was created from within the array formation. The voice he heard sounded from the crack.
He heard another stream of water sounds. Ling’e was shouting happily from the other side, “Senior Brother, you’re back! Are you injured? What happened previously? Why did you take so long to come back?”
Before the sentence was finished, Li Changshou saw a beautiful silhouette rus.h.i.+ng out from the straw hut. She was covered in a thin piece of blanket. That made her figure even more charming. Her long hair was wet, and there were water droplets on her soft skin.
She did not bother about that. She jumped happily when she saw Li Changshou.
Lan Ling’e had just entered the wooden bathtub and was bathing. Maybe it was because of the water that entered her eyes while she was bathing, there was a film of water on her almond-shaped eyes. She spread her arms open and lunged forward.
Li Changshou wanted to hide from her hug. However, when he saw Lan Ling’e’s pitiful eyes, he sighed and stood where he was. He allowed his junior sister to fall in his chest.
“Annoying Senior Brother, you have scared me! You left for so long. I thought something bad happened to you!” Lan Ling’e spoke with a crying tone. She choked while she sobbed. However, before her tears fell, she felt a huge hand caress her head.
“Senior Brother…” Lan Ling’e looked up. Her eyes were sparkling, and her lips were pursed together.
Li Changshou suddenly said, “Oh, right. Master…”
“Ah!”
Lan Ling’e suddenly realized something. She thought that their master had returned together with her senior brother. She yelped, turned around hurriedly, and raced back to the straw hut. She jumped into the huge wooden bathtub with her blanket and hid under the water.
It was okay for her senior brother to see her scantily clad. However, she could not let any males other than her senior brother see her body!
Not even her master!
Lan Ling’e detected the surroundings outside of the straw hut with her spiritual senses and lifted her head above the water curiously.
Li Changshou’s voice sounded from outside the hut. “Master had been invited to other mountains for a celebration. Allow me to rest. I’ll talk to you about this priming journey at about three to five in the morning.”
After saying that, he operated the array formation around her straw hut again and went back to his house.
Lan Ling’e looked down at the thin blanket in the wooden bathtub. Her cheeks turned rosy.
“Annoying Senior Brother…” she mumbled.
She sank her head into the water and left a string of air bubbles on the water surface.
