Chapter 59 (1/2)
The one who came to the Little Qiong Peak was Liu Yan’er, Li Changshou’s companion when he went to the North Continent.
Shortly after Liu Yan’er’s arrival, two more senior brothers came after her.
Under the willow tree, Lan Ling’e purposely showed an embarra.s.sed look, thinking that these three had left earlier.
However, at this moment, the two senior brothers were neither giving way to the other. There was a scorching smell in the air.
What should she do?
She really didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, especially those that had nothing to do with her senior brother.
Three of them, who were strangers to her, were sitting on each side of the short table that she had moved over.
The one sitting across from Lan Ling’e was the first to arrive, a Senior Sister of the Du Lin Peak, Liu Yan’er.
Lan Ling’e had thought that this new senior sister, who had come to find Li Changshou, was a ‘dangerous person’ just like Senior Sister Youqin. However, after they had chatted for a while, Lan Ling’e realized that she had misunderstood her.
This senior sister was obviously looking for Li Changshou for some serious business.
It all started seven years ago at the Priming Meet when Senior Sister Liu Yan’er had fallen in love with Senior Brother w.a.n.g Qi, who had gone to the North Continent with her.
After returning to the mountain, the two of them used cranes to send letters and exchanged glances, and their affection gradually grew stronger.
Recently, Senior Sister Yan’er and Senior Brother Qi had a plan to cultivate together. They decided to go to the Bai Fan Hall to officially register themselves as Dao companions, and they cultivated together on the Du Lin Peak or Little Ling Peak.
However, n.o.body had expected that Liu Yan’er’s junior brother, someone from the Du Lin Peak, on Lan Ling’e’s left side, Liu Sizhe, would suddenly step out.
He was against this marriage!
He had been secretly in love with her for 100 years.
Ever since Liu Sizhe had entered the sect from a young age, he had always been following behind his gentle senior sister, who had the same surname with him, and called her ‘Senior Sister’, ‘Senior Sister’.
Gradually, the young man had worries. He had a pretty girl in his heart.
However, Liu Sizhe felt that his cultivation level was not as good as his senior sister, so he couldn’t protect her. He kept this thought in his heart, cultivated hard, tried to get enlightened, and gradually stood out in the sect.
Liu Sizhe was now the disciple who ranked sixth in the sect. He had already reached the Sixth Stage of the Void Return Realm, had received a treasure bestowed by the sect, and had teachings handed down from the Peak Leader of the Du Lin Peak.
Surprisingly, when he wanted to express his feelings to his senior sister, he saw his beloved senior sister was about to be led away by a fellow disciple from the Little Ling Peak!
When Liu Sizhe immediately stepped forward to express his feelings to his senior sister, Liu Yan’er was shocked at the time but rejected Liu Sizhe right away.
“Junior Brother, I have always treated you as my closest junior brother.”
Liu Sizhe was unhappy with that. He kept questioning Liu Yan’er about her affair with w.a.n.g Qi and even invited the latter to a private fight.
Junior Brother Qi Qi…
w.a.n.g Qi, who was from the Little Ling Peak, was not weak either. Ever since his return from the North Continent, his cultivation level had broken through successively, and he had restrained his wanderl.u.s.t a lot. Now, he had just cultivated to the Sixth Stage of the Void Return Realm, and his ranking had been raised to the eighth.
After w.a.n.g Qi asked Liu Yan’er about it, he fully respected her opinion and did not agree to the fight.
As a result, things became more and more deadlocked, and Liu Sizhe and w.a.n.g Qi did not give way to the other at all.
These days, it even caused a confrontation between the Du Lin Peak and Little Ling Peak disciples, provoking a reprimand from the sects’ elders.
This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.
On this day, Liu Yan’er came to the Little Qiong Peak with no other reason than to find Li Changshou, who had traveled with them at that time and ask him to testify about it.
This way, he could explain to Liu Sizhe how Senior Sister Yan’er and Junior Brother Qi Qi had fallen in love at first sight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Yan’er arrived, w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Sizhe caught up with her from behind, resulting in such an awkward situation.
Lan Ling’er also felt slightly distressed as she looked at the short table that was almost about to be blown apart by the anger of the two.
It was made by Senior Brother himself.
“Senior Brothers?”
“Eh?”
Two serious, dignified faces looked over at the same time, and Lan Ling’e drew her neck back.
Lan Ling’e said with a smile, “Can the both of you wait aside? We ladies have some words that are inconvenient to be overheard by you guys.”
Liu Sizhe and w.a.n.g Qi both looked towards Liu Yan’er, who had a helpless and urging gaze.
Suddenly, these two stood up and walked towards the side of the lake.
w.a.n.g Qi, however, was very considerate and made a Dharma boundary under the tree.
Upon seeing that, Liu Sizhe also walked back and made another thicker, stronger layer on the periphery of the boundary.
Their eyes met, and they turned hostile.
Inside the boundary, Liu Yan’er felt overwrought.
“Senior Sister Yan’er, my senior brother has gone to break off his ties with the mortal world. He won’t be back for at least another year.” Lan Ling’e paused and reminded her, “You can find Senior Sister Youqin to discuss this matter.”
“I went there earlier.” Liu Yan’er sighed lightly. “Junior Sister Youqin is in seclusion, and I don’t dare to disturb her. Only Junior Brother Li Changshou would have a say in this.”
Lan Ling’e was a bit puzzled. “But what if my senior brother proves that you have fallen in love at first sight?”
“This junior brother of mine is very inflexible,” said Liu Yan’er with a bitter smile. “He now thinks that I’m using Junior Brother Qi Qi as a s.h.i.+eld to not delay his quest for immortality.
“But I really…
“What should I do? I went to Martial Aunt Jiu’s side and asked her too. She’s also in seclusion.
“Junior Brother Changshou is not here either.”
Lan Ling’er was just about to tactfully express that this had nothing to do with the Little Qiong Peak.
Before she could compose her language, she suddenly felt that the earth seemed to have trembled.
When she looked up, she saw that the two senior brothers were already ‘wrestling’ with each other’s legs in the open s.p.a.ce in front of the straw hut!
Because the sect forbade disciples to fight privately, one needed to report to the Bai Fan Hall in advance in the case of any enmity, and the sect would arrange a method to break the enmity.
As immortal seedlings, w.a.n.g Qi, and Liu Sizhe were very restrained at this time.
They just put their respective left feet forward and touched with it their knees. Their eyes were as if they were trying to devour someone!
Liu Yan’er raised her hand to cover her forehead for a moment, not knowing how to express goodwill.
Lan Ling’e blinked. This situation… was similar to the way the spiritual beasts in the beast pen at the back of the mountain competed for a mate!
Lan Ling’e laughed softly in her heart and made up her mind.
She got up and walked out of the boundary, shouting to the two, “Stop fighting! You guys can’t kill the other by fighting like that!
“Um, no.
“Please note, Senior Brothers. Disciples are forbidden to fight in private in the sect, and this is also the Little Qiong Peak.
“Since the two of you are here, why don’t you follow the Little Qiong Peak rules? No matter who Senior Sister Yan’er chooses in the end, you guys have a compet.i.tion here first to see who is better.
“What do you think?”
The two of them jumped away from each other. Although their knees were in severe pain, they both acted as normal and nodded their heads.
Liu Sizhe asked, “What rules?”
“My senior brother loves to brew wine.” Lan Ling’e smiled slightly. “I will invite the two of you to taste it.”
A few moments later…
With two clanging sounds, w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Sizhe lay on the short table. The wine jar in their hands dropped, even though they had only drunk one-third of the contents.
After all, it was the diluted Beauty’s Charm that Jiu Jiu used.
