Chapter 185 - I Can’t Do It! (1/2)
Ding
Bang
He did not know if it was an illusion, but when he went out, he heard the ringing of the gate of the sect. It was hurried, heavy, and tense.
When he returned to the Immortal Du Sect, the bell that Li Changshou heard was actually so light and fast. There was a slight change in the sound and a slight commotion…
In the morning, the treasure s.h.i.+p arrived at the mountain gate. The elders who stayed behind to guard the gate, as well as the Peak Masters and immortal seedlings, went out to welcome them.
The Peak Master of the Little Qiong Peak, the Turbid Immortal Qi Yuan, and Ling’e, the third person of the Little Qiong Peak, stayed quietly in a corner.
When the treasure s.h.i.+p stopped, the protective array formation around them was closed. The Sect Leader and the elders appeared together, and the disciples bowed in unison.
Soon after, Ling’e saw her senior brother, who was among the disciples who had returned. Her heart instantly calmed down, and a smile graced her beautiful face.
Ling’e was just about to wave at her senior brother when she suddenly felt a “Steadiness Sutra warning” in her heart. She immediately remained standing obediently and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a high wall appeared in front of Ling’e. Most of the sky was blocked by it. Before Ling’e could react, an adorable young girl’s face appeared in her sight…
Huh?
How could there be a human head on the stone statue?
Fortunately, Ling’e was raised by her senior brother. Her mental fort.i.tude was not bad. She subconsciously smiled politely and did not immediately dodge. At the side, Li Changshou was bowing to Qi Yuan. “Greetings, Master.”
Old Daoist priest Qi Yuan said warmly, “Okay, okay. Have you gotten anything from this trip?”
“I have learned a lot from you, Master.”
Li Changshou chuckled and answered. Then, he pointed at Xiong Lingli and said, “Master, this is my cousin. She’s also the in-name disciple that our Sect Leader just accepted. I want to arrange for her to stay on our Little Qiong Peak and cultivate.”
Qi Yuan was shocked. He looked at Xiong Lingli and quickly sent his eldest disciple a voice transmission.
“This is the Sect Leader’s in-name disciple. Our peak is poor. Would this be appropriate?”
Li Changshou shot his Master a glance to a.s.sure him that he would be there to handle everything. Qi Yuan immediately stopped doubting and exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiong Lingli. Xiong Lingli had long been warned by Li Changshou. She bowed and said, “Senior Brother Qi Yuan, please take care of me in the future.”
The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan replied politely and said that he would need her to take care of him too.
Ling’e tilted her head slightly. She thought, Senior Brother’s… cousin?
Impossible. If he really had a cousin, how could I not know?
She had secretly used the spiritual fish to bribe the female elder of the Hundred Mortal Hall and had seen the information of her senior brother’s family…
Immediately, Ling’e imagined a big scene in her mind. She heard Li Changshou say to Xiong Lingli in a mellow voice, “Cousin, let’s go back to the peak and talk. I’ll arrange a place for you to stay in today.”
Ling’e felt as if a cat had crawled into her heart and scratched it continuously, making her want to ask about it immediately. However, she did not dare to ask directly. It was very uncomfortable…
Back then, her senior brother took a few days to build her a straw hut!
Senior Brother said just now that he wanted to arrange a place for his “cousin” who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, within a day!
Could it be… impossible!
No, nothing is impossible when it comes to Senior Brother!
Although the possibility was very small, it’s not impossible for there to be a romance between cousins…
At that moment, Lingle’s heart was in a mess.
From the start of the ‘Aged Beauties’ incident, she had no idea what type of woman her Senior Brother liked.
In her eyes, her senior brother was the most extraordinary person in the world. All the male Qi Refinement cultivators outside the sect were not as unique and special as her senior brother! Therefore, even though her Senior Brother suddenly brought back a young girl who looked like an iron tower and told her that he wanted to make the girl his Dao companion tomorrow, Ling’e would believe him!
Could it be that Senior Brother does not like pure and innocent girls like Senior Sister Youqin?
He doesn’t like me either because we’re too close to each other and he’s too embarra.s.sed to court me.
Is it because Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu led him to have a biased view of beauty, and he fell for… a burly girl?
“Let’s go back first.”
Qi Yuan said gently. He waved his horsetail whisk and made a white cloud appear.
The old Daoist priest was worried that his immortal power was turbid and so the white clouds could not bear enough weight. He deliberately thickened the white clouds under Xiong Lingli’s feet by half a meter.
Then, white clouds floated into the sect and headed towards the various peaks.
He suddenly heard Jiu Jiu’s shout.
“Changshou! Ling’e… I’ll go and listen to Master’s lecture first and then come over to play with you!”
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect could not help but smile.
Many disciples looked at the four of them enviously. Most of them were male.
Ling’e, who was in a state of confusion, forced a smile. Li Changshou nodded with a smile, as if he had agreed to Little Aunt-Master’s request.
At that moment, Youqin Xuanya stared at the backs of the four people from Little Qiong Peak. However, she seemed to have something to say.
Forget it. After a few days, I’ll go to the Little Qiong Peak to apologize to Senior Brother on a quiet night…
“Ah.”
Youqin Xuanya sighed softly. She was a little disappointed and followed her master to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Her master, Jiang Jingshan, witnessed everything
As a Peak Leader, Qi Yuan had no objections to the addition of one more member to Little Qiong Peak…
Qi Yuan only instructed his two disciples not to be rude to Little Aunt-Master. Then, he turned around and returned to his straw hut. He ignored everything outside the window and focused on the Great Dao of Dreams.
However… Ling’e panicked.
Her senior brother had really built a straw hut for his “cousin” who had just arrived, within two hours!
It was an even larger version!
Lingle’s ridiculous conjecture seemed to have been proven. Furthermore, his senior brother had specially called her to the side to watch. He had used the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique that he had rarely revealed previously to make the paper effigies work at the same time!
What was even more frightening was that after Senior Brother finished settling his cousin’s residence, he gave her a meaningful look.
At that time, Ling’e had already confirmed… that her Senior Brother really liked women who looked stronger!
Although her senior brother’s taste was unique and completely beyond her expectations, she felt that it was indeed typical of her senior brother!
Although she could not help but feel a little disappointed, it was also rather tricky…
However, the “bad news” came one after another.
Li Changshou said, “Ling’e, let Lingli be the one to feed the fish in the lake and the spiritual beasts in the spiritual beast enclosure in the future.”
What is this?
How could Ling’e not understand that he was giving half of the power in her hands to his “cousin”!?!
When Ling’e was young, she had seen a lot of things happening behind closed doors of the rich and powerful families. In order to fight for some power, the mistresses would put on fake smiles and pull tricks secretly. She had seen all sorts of moves and tricks…
She did not think that she would one day be challenged!
How could Ling’e just admit defeat like that!?!
She made up her mind and dressed herself up. Then, she picked up some rouge powder and prepared to give it to Aunt-Master Xiong Lingli as a gift, in a bid to make her presence more known.
However, just as Ling’e walked to the newly built straw hut next door, she heard the conversation between her senior brother and Aunt-Master Xiong Lingli…
“Cousin, can I only address you as my cousin in the future?”
