Chapter 67 - Those Who Understand Me, Will Live Long! (1/2)
They were in front of the Starry Dream Astrometer in the Divine Might Hall of the Heavenly Courts.
After the second dream was sent to the blue fairy, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect…
The Golden-armored immortal official’s mind returned from the Starry Dream Astrometer. He grabbed a long spear and gritted his teeth.
He barked, “He actually refused! He even said that he was refining pills! Moon Elder, I will go down and bring him up!”
The Moon Elder was stunned and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
He knew that the immortal official was just putting on an act. Regardless of how small Ren Sect may be, they were still a sect. The Immortal Du Sect might not take them seriously, let alone let them nab their disciple.
However, he had a request for them, after all…
“You can’t, Immortal Official. You can’t. Let’s think about this from the long-term perspective and discuss it!”
The Moon Elder tried to calm him down for a while. Finally, the golden-armored immortal official was “appeased”.
The Moon Elder asked, “What did they say?”
The immortal official answered, “His junior sister is very polite and courteous. She said that her senior is in the midst of refining pills and cannot be distracted. She also asked for the reason that we’re asking to meet him, and wanted us to let her know if it’s something urgent.”
“Well…”
The Moon Elder immediately felt troubled.
He could not tell anyone about this matter because it concerned his own reputation. If it were to spread to His Majesty’s ears, the latter would definitely blame him.
The Moon Elder pondered for a while and asked, “May I ask for your help to look for his junior sister again? Thank you very much.”
“You’re too polite, Moon Elder. It’s just a small matter!”
The immortal official turned around and faced the Starry Dream Astrometer. He could not help but grin.
Every time he sent a dream, a large amount of his Primordial Spirit would be consumed. If he were to do it a few more times, he would definitely faint…
In the Pill Chamber of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou listened to his junior’s description of the situation and gave her some instructions.
Soon, Fairy was stunned and she saw a layer of clouds.
“Senior! They’re here again!”
“Go.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded.
Fairy closed her eyes and quickly entered the dream while Li Changshou observed her condition from the side.
She just fell asleep…
There was no circulation of Dao runes or any other movement.
Li Changshou raised his hand and poked Fairy’s arm while she hummed softly and seemed to be half-asleep.
The Heavenly Courts are indeed worthy of being an organization established by the Heavenly Dao, for the sake of controlling heaven and earth. The dream must have been triggered by some treasure of the Heavenly Dao. How magical.
Using his immortal senses, Li Changshou scanned the various parts of the Little Qiong Peak and fell into deep thought.
The mastermind behind this might not be just the Moon Elder alone.
Moon Elder is probably just a tool, like the golden-armored Heavenly G.o.d…
The Immortal Seal Tribulation had yet to arrive. The Heavenly Courts have just been established, and even the Jade Emperor has to be cautious. The Moon Elder that the Jade Emperor had appointed, should be a timid person.
Now, for example, the personal disciple of the Master of the Three Sects had to address the Jade Emperor as Uncle-Master Hao Tian after he went to the Heavenly Courts, while the Jade Emperor has to treat the second-generation disciples of the sect with respect…
There are only a few people in Ren Sect, and behind them is the Grand Pure One.
The Grand Pure One had already entered the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace of the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor would definitely not dare to plot against Ren Sect, nor would he have any motive to do so.
Moreover, the Heavenly Courts is still a safe haven and the Western schools cannot have control for now…
Although the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects are not on good terms, they had not fallen out with each other.
Ren Sect does not have much Dao heritage, to begin with, and does not have any feud with Jie Sect and Chan Sect. The possibility of them causing trouble is not high either.
According to elimination, Ren Sect is the only one that would dare to and might cause trouble for the Ren… Sect
Could it be that there is an expert in Ren Sect who feels that the Ren Sect has too little Dao inheritors and wants to use the Red String of Fate to bring about more offspring?
This is similar to my plan to use the Love Hex to urge a pair of rare spiritual beasts to mate and reproduce…
Who is this expert?
Could it be the founder of the Immortal Du Sect who is also the Perfected One who cultivated in the Kunlun Mountain?
That’s unlikely…
As an in-name disciple of a Sage, the founder of the sect was also very careful in his cultivation. He basically did not have much of a presence and did not dare to endure the backlash of karma.
Anyone who had heard the Sage preach could claim to be an in-name disciple.
After giving it some thought, he realized that the Sage of Ren Sect only had one personal disciple who would have the time, influential abilities, and power to get the Moon Elder to help him with this matter…
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du!
It should be him.
However, this time, it was the Moon Elder who wanted to visit him in his dream. Li Changshou recalled his strange behavior previously…
The current situation was very likely to be related to his marriage. The Great Daoist Master had probably caused some issues which the Moon Elder had to settle.
I knew it. How could someone so toxic have a good impression of me for no reason?
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, but he was puzzled.
If Youqin Xuanya only had a good impression of me because of Moon Elder’s arrangements, why me?
Could I have been targeted by the Great Daoist Master?
I have to find out more later.
In terms of marriage, I should be able to use my little junior sister as my s.h.i.+eld.
That was probably one of the few benefits that his master could think of when he accepted Fairy as a disciple.
“The good fortune of the Heavenly Dao is truly unpredictable.”
“The Primordial World is so vast that we might end up as mayflies.”
Li Changshou sighed softly and continued to think about how he could stop being pa.s.sive.
He put his hands behind his back and waited for his little junior sister to wake up. At the same time, he began to activate the surrounding array formations.
Since the Moon Elder does not dare to offend anyone and wants to threaten or negotiate with me, the weakest party… what advantages can I get from this?
No, I can’t force it.
It would be best if I can act as I wish.
As a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, he had his own plans. There was no need for him to rely on others. He would only be at ease if he could take the initiative.
However, if he could maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with the Moon Elder, it would be easier for him, his, and Fairy to go to heaven in the future…
The Heavenly Courts definitely had a wide network of connections since the Moon Elder was in charge of marriage.
This time, he could start from this. He could sell a favor to Moon Elder and let him know that he had done him a favor on purpose. At the same time, he could not expose anything…
Indeed, he needed to deal with it carefully.
A moment later, Fairy woke up.
After pondering for a while, she told Li Changshou about the things that the Moon Elder and the Gold-armored Heavenly G.o.d wanted her to relay to him.
“Moon Elder said that he had previously counted the clay figurines of marriage and accidentally touched yours, causing it to be damaged. Moon Elder feels uneasy about this so he wants to meet you to discuss this matter and he also wants to see if there is anything wrong with you.”
Li Changshou suddenly realized that the Moon Elder was intending to look for him to resolve the karma.
That’s easy.
Fairy was a little nervous as she whispered,
“Senior, are you alright? If the clay figurine is damaged, will there be no means for you to get married in the future?”
“I don’t know either.” Li Changshou shook his head and said, “Fine, I’ll just meet him.”
No matter what, the Moon Elder had come looking for him with a sincere att.i.tude.
He only needed to be mindful of his status as a young disciple of the Immortal Du Sect and act accordingly.
“Junior Sister, protect me.”
“Alright!” Fairy answered in a crisp voice.
She jumped up from the reclining chair gracefully while holding a few treasures in her hands.
Li Changshou lied down on the reclining chair, clasping the two paper effigies and trying to calm himself down so that he could relax his mind.
As expected, he gradually entered a foggy dream.
In front of him was an immortal pavilion situated on the peak of the mountain. In the pavilion, there was a thin old man dressed in a wedding robe who was bowing to him.
Li Changshou felt like he was stepping on a cloud. He suddenly got an idea and rode the cloud forward before bowing to the old man.
