Chapter 131 - You Are Very Handsome In The First Place (1/2)
Li Changshou never expected that the romantic Casanova from the future would have his karma born at this moment…
This time, General Dongmu was there to express his grat.i.tude towards Li Changshou.
As soon as the two of them met in the mountain, General Dongmu heaved a huge sigh of relief.
“His Majesty! His Majesty, he… he smiled at me!”
Li Changshou was a little worried. He thought that something had happened to one of his future backers.
Then, Dong Mugong let out a long sigh and talked about how difficult it had been for him in the past tens of thousands of years.
He was just an ordinary immortal. At the end of the Great Magi-Demon War and the rise of the humans, he had contributed a lot to the human race. He had obtained a lot of merit and was chosen by the Saint to become General Dongw.a.n.g who had established the Heavenly Courts.
The Jade Emperor was the child in front of the Dao Ancestors. He addressed the Saints as his senior brothers and had never revealed his cultivation level.
How many lives did he have to fight for power with the Jade Emperor?
General Dongmu had been conscientious and stepping on eggsh.e.l.ls for a long time. He had not slept well for a day at all… although he did not need to sleep.
A few days ago, General Dongmu got married to a female immortal whom he had known for a long time. He had asked the Jade Emperor to give him a letter.
“His Majesty, the Jade Emperor’s smile is actually so bright and clear…”
General Dongmu let out a long breath and stood up to bow to Li Changshou. “Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist. If you have any tasks for me, I will do my best!” Li Changshou shook his head with a smile. However, he was still worried and asked about the details of what General Dongmu had done previously.
Fortunately, he had asked that question…
Li Changshou was overwhelmed with helplessness when he heard General Dongmu say “I want them all.”
“Fellow Daoist, you can’t have too many. The reputation of being loyal is equally important. Fellow Daoist, if you are married to a fairy today, will you accept another marriage tomorrow?”
Dong Mugong smiled and said, “Of course, I’ll accept them all. It’ll only be stable if I have more.”
“Then, won’t the writing that the Jade Emperor rewarded you with, become a joke?”
r rewa
Li Changshou sighed and continued, “To me, being overly sentimental is better than being overly promiscuous but being loyal is better than being overly sentimental… Fellow Daoist, what you are most afraid of is His Majesty thinking too much. In that case, why did you take that redundant step and shoot yourself in the foot?”
“T-this…”
General Dongmu stood up and paced back and forth, looking troubled. “I was thinking that it’s safer to have more people.”
“That’s not what being stable is about.” Li Changshou pondered and continued, “Fellow Daoist, this matter can be salvaged, but this is the last time I’m going to give you ideas regarding this matter. I should not be meeting you privately. Do you understand, Fellow Daoist?”
“Of course I understand.” General Dongmu bowed and Li Changshou stood up to return the greeting.
At that moment, Li Changshou could only help Old General Dongmu make his future plans.
It was nothing more than just setting up a loyal persona. It would be best if he could ask for a t.i.tle for his wife and fabricate some romantic stories that could be spread in the Heavenly Courts.
General Dongmu, who was originally only interested in cultivating the Dao and supporting the Jade Emperor, was trying his best to absorb the “knowledge” imparted to him by Li Changshou, his adviser.
Gradually, General Dongmu began to feel… enlightened…
At the end of the conversation, General Dongmu could actually draw inferences from a single point that Li Changshou mentioned.
Perhaps, that was the talent of being the previous incarnate of a pure Yang Immortal…
“I forgot to ask around and find out who General Dongmu is marrying now.”
In the straw hut, Li Changshou lifted the front of his Daoist robe and stood up from the meditation cus.h.i.+on. He stretched slightly.
Then, he continued on his journey to the straw hut next door.
The word ‘love’ resulted in lots of karma…
The mighty General Dongmu, a powerful immortal of the Heavenly Courts, had acc.u.mulated countless merits and was appointed by the Sage. However, he was now uneasy because of love.
Of course, most of the uneasiness was a result of General Dongmu’s authority.
His master had lost his foundation to become an immortal because of love. Now, he was depressed and refused to come out of the straw hut. He was utterly dejected.
Huh?
Why did Master… fall asleep again…
Li Changshou undid the array formation on his own. He cleared his throat and shouted into the house, “Master, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Oh?”
Qi Yuan quickly opened the wooden door. Although he was full of energy, his expression and gaze were still a little gloomy. “Come in. What’s the matter?”
“Master, do you know about the Three Sects’ Meet?” Li Changshou smiled and asked.
Qi Yuan finally revealed a smile. Previously, Ling’e had reported the good news regarding the sect compet.i.tion. He was very happy that his two disciples were that hardworking.
Naturally, Qi Yuan had also guessed that his little disciple’s so-called six-levels-in-on-go-advancement should have been the exposure of her true cultivation level…
“I naturally know about the meet. Could it be that an elder has recommended Ling’e to partic.i.p.ate?” “Why did Ling’e go?”
Li Changshou explained, “Master, there’s no benefit in going to the Three Sects’ Meet. The journey on the clouds is going to be a long one. It won’t be a good thing to end up causing trouble because of a careless mistake.”
Qi Yuan frowned.
“Disciple, you’re good in everything except this. You’re always only looking at the palm-sized land of our Little Qiong Peak. Going to the Three Sects’ Meet would be a fight for glory in the sect and bringing fame to the Immortal Du Sect! It’s a great honor to be able to attend the event with an expert in the sect. How can you talk about benefits!?!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Anyway, if there were elders in the sect who recommended Ling’e, he could just pretend to be sick and ask Ling’e to stay and take care of him.
Actually, the conference was still far away. There was not a clear date and time yet. It would probably happen only in another thirty to fifty years.
“Master, let’s not talk about this. I have something to ask of you today.”
Seeing that his master was about to start nagging, Li Changshou quickly changed the topic and explained to his master.
And so on…
An hour later, the door of the straw hut opened and two figures walked out.
The person on the left had an ordinary, slender figure and a handsome face. His long hair was ordinarily elegant. Naturally, he was Li Changshou.
The person on the right was slightly shorter and had a middle-aged face. There was a look of dejection in his eyes, and his forehead was covered in some wrinkles that did not seem like they could be removed…
Qi Yuan restored his middle-aged appearance. He changed into a light blue robe and seemed to be in good spirits.
Li Changshou’s ordinary appearance was actually a half-disguise.
Qi Yuan’s ordinary appearance came from within…
Li Changshou bowed and said, “Please, Master.”
Old Daoist Qi Yuan, no… he was already Daoist Priest Qi Yuan!
Daoist Priest Qi Yuan forced a smile and rode a cloud towards the sect. He was going to settle a small issue that his disciple had given him.
In his heart, he recalled what Li Changshou had said just now…
“Master, previously, I used your appearance and eliminated demons outside with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. That might have very well caused some hidden dangers. Therefore, Master, you can’t use your usual appearance when you go out. Master, why don’t you return to your middle-aged appearance and carry this incense pouch that conceals your aura with you? That way, you will be safe.”
Qi Yuan did not think too much about it. He acted according to his disciple’s instructions and left the sect on a cloud. He headed towards the nearest town, Linhai Town…
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart.
