Chapter 114 The Culprit Who Bullied The Teacher
“Senior Brother, the sect is watching. This demon can’t do anything. You and I shall bid farewell here.”
150 kilometers outside the Immortal Du Sect Mountain, “Old Daoist Qi Yuan”, who was disguised as Li Changshou and riding on the same cloud, suddenly bid Jiu Wu farewell.
“Junior Brother Qi Yuan, why don’t we go to the Punishment Hall together?”
Jiu Wu was slightly stunned. He continued, “Junior Brother, you deserve half of the credit for eliminating the demons this time. We should go and receive rewards together.”
“Qi Yuan” smiled and said, “Please pa.s.s my reward and this spiritual beast hide bag, to both my disciples. To be honest, Senior Brother, I still have matters to attend to and have to rush back to Lindong City. After all this delay, it’s almost time for my date.”
Date?
Jiu Wu frowned and nodded. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Qi Yuan” bowed and turned around in a bid to leave on a cloud.
However, as soon as “Qi Yuan” flew less than five feet away, Jiu Wu shouted, “Junior Brother, please wait! Can you tell me who you’re meeting?”
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief…
Once Uncle-Master falls into the trap, everything will be easy to handle.
“Well…” Li Changshou deliberately put on an awkward expression. Then, he sighed softly. “I wouldn’t dare to deceive you, Senior Brother. A few months ago, my Senior Sister sent me two letters to ask me to meet her in Lindong City.”
Jiu Wu was obviously stunned. He pinched his fingers and made some calculations, after which he confirmed those memories that were somewhat considered deeply-etched in his mind.
For a moment, Jiu Wu’s expression was extremely strange.
What Jiu Wu said next surprised Li Changshou.
“That’s impossible. Junior Brother Qi Yuan, someone must have schemed against you!”
“Senior Brother, what do you mean?”
A hint of anxiety appeared on the paper effigy’s face. He hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, please explain yourself!”
“This…” Jiu Wu muttered to himself and did not reply. He simply said, “In any case, this is unlikely.”
“Senior Brother Jiu Wu!”
“Qi Yuan” immediately stepped forward and bowed to Jiu Wu.
Jiu Wu could not hold back his urges. He sighed softly and said in a deep voice, “Your senior sister died eight hundred years ago. Her remnant soul had reincarnated. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“That year, you fought with Junior Brother Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak. Junior Brother Kuai Si ambushed you secretly. You injured your Dao base. Although you survived, you could not continue cultivating.”
“Your senior sister, Wan Jiangyu, secretly left the sect. She said that she wanted to find your master, who was traveling around the world, and get him to meet you… However, in reality, she had gone to the North Continent to search for a precious type of medicine to repair your Dao base.” “When the elders in the sect discovered it, they immediately sent me and two other executives to chase after her. However, when we caught up, she was already in the depths of the North Continent. Her Essence Soul was injured by a ferocious beast and she was on the verge of death. The three of us tried our best to save her, an immortal seedling, but to no avail.”
“When your senior sister pa.s.sed away, she asked the three of us to tell you that we haven’t found her and to hide the truth from you. Her corpse was buried by the three of us. If you don’t believe me, I can let the two of them tell you…”
“Junior Brother, Junior Brother Qi Yuan? Are you… alright?”
“Qi Yuan’s” body trembled, and his eyes lost their focus. He took a few steps back, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Li Changshou had never thought about how he had to put up an act and pretend to be pitiful. At that moment, he could only rely on his imagination to stage the act.
Fortunately, Jiu Wu closed his eyes and sighed softly. He did not have the heart to look further.
Jiu Wu did not want to reveal that matter, but he was worried that “Junior Brother Qi Yuan” would fall into some kind of trap.
“Where… where is she buried?”
“The place where the poisonous fog was spreading had long been destroyed. Junior Brother, don’t be so obsessed. She has already reincarnated.”
Jiu Wu wanted to comfort him, but “Qi Yuan” had already cupped his hands and bowed. He remained silent and flew towards the mountain gate.
“Senior Brother, I want some peace.” “Junior Brother Qi Yuan…”
Jiu Wu knew that “Qi Yuan” was distressed and hence, did not try to persuade him. Instead, he carried the spiritual beast hide pouch and followed closely behind him.
The short Daoist was also filled with emotions. He shook his head and mumbled, “I can’t get over the relations.h.i.+p. It’s too difficult for me to feel at ease. Ask the world what romance is. It… makes it impossible for you to sleep at night.”
Thinking about his Dao companion, Jiu Wu smiled gently.
All of a sudden, charming old women appeared in front of his Dao companion…
Ding
Jiu Wu shuddered.
All beauties will turn into corpses, and cultivation is the proper thing to do!
At the same time, in the straw hut on Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou opened his eyes with a complicated expression.
There’s actually such a secret behind this matter…
However, it was a pity that he was a paper effigy who had disguised himself as his master. Logically speaking, he should not ask too many questions. Otherwise, he would have to ask them properly before carefully investigating the details.
This time, he had gained a lot by finding out from Uncle-Master Jiu Wu who his master’s enemy was.
Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak.
He was a Perfected Immortal who was not famous in the sect. Li Changshou had only seen his name on the name list in the Hundred Mortal Hall by chance.
As a Perfected Immortal in the sect, that person’s reputation and recognizability were far inferior to that of Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. He was a unique existence who was individualistic.
This person… fought secretly with evil intentions, a.s.saulted my master, and caused my master to end up with no choice but to become a Turbid Immortal.
He even forced my Aunt-Master to take the initiative to go out to the North Continent for a few Immortal-Emanc.i.p.ating Herbs. From then on, she created lots of karmas.
Now, I found out that you have indirectly caused the death of my Uncle-Master and his beloved Senior Sister.
“Fellow Daoist.”
Li Changshou’s gaze became a little sharp, but he quickly hid it.
He mumbled… “Isn’t our karma a little too big?” Li Changshou stood up and paced back and forth in the straw hut.
I can’t rush. Killing or crippling an enemy in the Perfected Immortal realm is not considered difficult for me.
However, the matter concerns my future in the Immortal Du Sect as well as Ling’e’s and Master’s. I must be sure.
