Chapter 130 Master, I’ve Tried My Best
“Well…”
Elder Moon frowned as he looked at General Dongmu who was in front of him, appearing a little awkward. “This… um…”
At that moment, the two of them were sitting in the reception hall of the Moon Elder Hall’s side hall. General Dongmu leaned sideways and took the initiative to move forward.
Elder Moon was very familiar with that action. Usually, the people who went to look for him and did not want others to know about it would subconsciously do that.
It was not just that. The movements of General Dongmu handing over the treasure pouch and the s.h.i.+fty gaze that he had when he spoke…
Elder Moon was extremely familiar with all of that.
However, Elder Moon had never heard of the request that Dong Mugong had made that day.
If it was an ordinary matchmaking request, Elder Moon would definitely not dare to reject General Dongmu, given the latter’s ident.i.ty, status, and qualifications. Some of his merit would be deducted.
However…
“Elder Moon, can you give me an answer?” General Dongmu asked softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.
“General Dongmu.” Elder Moon cupped his hands and said seriously, “To be honest, I have indeed helped others matchmake. However, their red strings were very close to each other. They have the same intention as each other. That’s why I could bring them together.
I had indeed cut the red string for others too. However, the two clay figurines were struggling with each other, and hence, I cut the red string to the point that it was still connected but was almost breaking, to make them happy.
However, I would never be able to cut and sever the clay figurines thoroughly.
That is the destiny of the Lone Star, so it must be huge karma!”
Hearing Elder Moon’s sincere words, General Dongmu pondered for a while. However, the words of that “old man” surfaced in his heart.
“If the first path doesn’t work, General Dongmu, you can change your mind and marry as soon as possible.”
“Then, find an excuse to ask His Majesty for a plaque or something like that to wish you and Madam a perfect marriage. Then, General Dongmu, you shall show up with Madam often and behave lovingly with her in front of others. Wouldn’t that allow you to avoid suspicion?”
Naturally, General Dongmu did not know that the “old man” who gave him that idea was actually several times more complicated than what he was thinking…
General Dongmu pondered for a while and said, “Then, Elder Moon, can you bring me to meet my destined partner?
This matter concerns a lot of other issues. If Elder Moon can help me, I will definitely repay you in the future.”
Elder Moon smiled bitterly and said, “General Dongmu, I dare not be disrespectful. Please follow me.”
After saying that, Elder Yue brought General Dongmu to the hall at the back. He summoned the marriage clay figurines of General Dongmu, as well as the clay figurines of all the people who could marry him.
General Dongmu’s eyes lit up. He realized that there were four to five marriage clay figurines floating around him. The red strings of the clay figurines were all moving towards him.
“Have I always been targeted by these people?”
“General Dongmu, you’re trusted by His Majesty. You’re also a male immortal…”
“Elder Moon, don’t say that!”
General Dongmu cut off Elder Moon’s compliment and pondered for a while. Then, he carefully searched among the few clay figurines that were moving towards him.
It was also because of his good fortune and the time was right. Suddenly, an idea flashed across General Dongmu’s mind…
A few days ago, when he first met with the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean together with His Majesty, the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean had offered twelve expostulations to His Majesty. In the last one, there was a sentence that went “Use appearance to pursue peace and stability.”
General Dongmu remained silent and thought about it for a while…
It meant that he ought to try to make himself appear mediocre so that others would not be wary of him.
Pursue peace and stability, pursue peace and stability…
“Elder Moon!”
General Dongmu suddenly looked up, and his eyes flickered. He grabbed Elder Moon’s arm with his right hand, causing the latter to be so shocked that his voice changed.
“General Dongmu, how… how do you want the match to be made?”
General Dongmu stretched out his left hand and slowly swiped his five fingers across. He then clenched his fists.
“I want all of them!”
Elder Moon instantly shuddered.
What’s wrong with this General Dongmu? Previously, he had wanted to become a bachelor and not get involved in marriage, but now…
He was indeed an expert!
General Dongmu had a high position and authority. A small immortal like Elder Moon did not dare to say anything.
Moreover, the marriage clay figurines that Elder Moon had just summoned could indeed be married to General Dongmu. However, General Dongmu’s cultivation level was high. If he did not have the intention to marry, the red strings of the clay figurines could not be brought together. “Ah… yes, I’ll do it now,” Elder Moon replied softly and immediately started to get busy.
…
In the Immortal Du Sect, only one-third of the spiritual beast enclosure was completed.
The three eighteen-year-old female Qi Refinement cultivators who had been cultivating for tens of thousands of months, finally realized that if they continued to work while playing, they might not be able to finish repairing the place in ten to twenty years.
Thus, Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya discussed and decided to make Little Aunt-Master drunk. Then, the two of them started getting to work…
Their efficiency increased by more than ten times!
In just three months, a third of the place had been transformed!
In the past few days, Youqin Xuanya’s master urged her to go back and cultivate for a few months. Hence, Ling’e worked alone at various spots of the Spiritual beast enclosure.
There were still 1,600 copies of the Steadiness Sutra that she had to do.
She would have to work on the spiritual beast enclosure for at least half a year more…
At that thought of it, Ling’e sighed softly. She clutched her skirt and knelt on the gra.s.s beside the pool of the Spirit-Eating Jade Frogs, which she was mending.
Seriously… if it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to break down the walls of Senior Brother’s heart and make him develop some romantic thoughts, I wouldn’t have to suffer with Little Aunt-Master and Senior Sister Youqin.
Ling’e felt that she could not handle Senior Brother’s troublesome character alone. “Ling’e?”
A familiar greeting suddenly sounded beside her ear. Ling’e subconsciously jumped up and glared at her senior brother.
“Senior Brother! Why are you so quiet when you’re walking?!”
“Isn’t that how I walked over?” Li Changshou frowned and questioned, “Why are you s.p.a.cing out and being completely distracted here? If an enemy were to ambush you, how will you deal with it?”
