Chapter 201 - Since Ancient Times, There Have Been Many Emotions And Hatred. This Hatred… (1/2)
When Jiu Jiu left, she ran away like she was fleeing again…
In front of Ling’e’s straw hut, where the several layers of array formations had been completely activated, Xiong Lingli sat in front of the door, seemingly guarding it. She held a roasted spiritual beast, which was a mountain rabbit, in her hand and tasted it with relish.
There were a total of four disciples from the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, they were sitting around a short table. The table was in a mess, and the little grandmaster was already drunk. She laid on the table and sighed.
The “fake” old father, who was similar to old Daoist priest Qi Yuan, maintained an old face. He was at a loss and helpless. However, he smiled at his master and supported his master’s every decision unconditionally.
Meanwhile, the old man’s father had already arranged a follow-up plan for the ferocious and evil little Grandmaster. He had also started to try sounding his Grandmaster out in a bid to figure out what was going on between Jiang Lin’er and Exalted w.a.n.g Qing…
To be safe, Li Changshou had to find out the reason behind it before he allowed Lingle to take out the Tear of The Previous Life.
If it turned out to be a misunderstanding where the Grandmaster and Exalted w.a.n.g Qing were actually just brothers… ahem, siblings, who had been separated for many years!
There would then be trouble.
He had to follow the procedures.
There were many tricks in the Primordial World and Little Qiong Peak was poor.
Li Changshou took action together with Ling’e in the name of welcoming her. They whipped up a table of dishes.
During the meal, he sent a few instructions to his master. Qi Yuan began to pour wine for Jiang Lin’er…
If he wanted to invoke her emotions, how could there be wine but no music?
Lan Ling’e, the chief commander of the paper effigies team of Little Qiong Peak, had already gone to a corner quietly.
She sat cross-legged on the meditation cus.h.i.+on. The skirt of her dress was scattered around the meditation cus.h.i.+on. The girdle revealed her exquisite figure, without a doubt. Two strands of black hair hung in front of her, and her pretty face began to be graced with emotions.
At first, it was a seven-stringed zither that she used to play a soothing sound, followed by the jade flute and the Erhu. It was used to improve their relations.h.i.+p.
If her emotions were intense, Ling’e could still use the drums and trumpets that she had just learned to play…
The background music was in place. They chugged three jars of wine. Her emotions surged. Li Changshou chose a crucial point. First, he asked Jiang Lin’er how she had been during the past few days outside. Then, he asked her for guidance for treasuring a relations.h.i.+p, as a disciple. Ling’e listened with a complicated expression. Does Senior Brother really not understand?
You are clearly the real expert in this Dao!
If not for her Grandmaster’s return, Ling’e really did not know how to meet her senior brother…
The fact that Li Changshou trapped her between him and the wall really made her fl.u.s.tered and confused. After recalling it, she was frustrated at herself for being useless. Why did she panic at that time?
As a result, Ling’e was even more worried. If her senior brother were to act abnormally and try to attract women one day, how many women could resist his charm?
Fortunately, Senior Brother’s personality is troublesome. He feels that Dao companions are a burden…
This is probably what Senior Brother means when he often says that you win some, lose some.
Lingle played the song with a heavy heart. Not long after, she heard Jiang Lin’er sigh and talk about the past…
“As for me, I entered the sect together with w.a.n.g Qing. We met a few times and I thought he was quite handsome. He thought that I’m not too bad either. When we met each other again and again, we fell in love…”
Although the story spanned across a long time, it did not take long for her to talk about it.
Back then, both of them were still pure and innocent. The two of them were unaware of the loneliness of the Immortal Path. In front of the peach blossom tree, in front of the melon fields, and under the sun, they had already gone through the seasons of spring, autumn, winter, and summer…
As Jiang Lin’er spoke, she began to explain why she had fallen out with Exalted w.a.n.g Qing.
The sound of the zither changed to that of the Chinese flute. Ling’e closed her eyes and played the music, becoming more and more emotional.
After listening for a while, Li Changshou understood everything.
The story of Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er’s, Jiang Lin’er, did not have any corny elements like “a fifth wheel” or “coming out of the closet”. It was purely due to their personalities.
If he had to summarize it, they could only be said to be former lovers.
If he wanted to ask Jiang Lin’er about her current feelings, he could only say, “Very regretful.”
“I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum at that time. That boring fellow doesn’t know how to coax people. He believed whatever he heard. I was only saying those words out of anger at that time, but he really cried. He even changed his Daoist name to w.a.n.g Qing…”
When Jiang Lin’er said that, she could not help but let out a long sigh. “After that, he transcended the tribulation and ascended. I can’t bring myself to look for him. I feel like I’m sucking up to him. Forget it, forget it. Since I’ve missed it, so be it.”
Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
Li Changshou made a simple conclusion. The story between Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Jiang Lin’er was very simple. Back then, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Jiang Lin’er already had feelings for each other. They had also confessed their feelings. However, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing was obsessed with cultivation and gradually distanced himself from their relations.h.i.+p.
Jiang Lin’er was originally arrogant, ahem, strong-headed. When she couldn’t help but ask Exalted w.a.n.g Qing about that matter, he only told her to wait. When Jiang Lin’er became an immortal, he would compensate her.
In a fit of anger, Jiang Lin’er emphasized, “You don’t need to come again.”
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing took the words that she said out of anger as the truth. He was disheartened and changed his Dao name. He transcended the tribulation and ascended to become the Immortal Du Sect’s Exalted w.a.n.g
Qing…
Why does it seem like a school romance storyline in my previous life?
There was a hint of emotion in Li Changshou’s eyes. Then, he said warmly, “Grandmaster, some people will no longer come back again after you miss them. However, there are some people whom you can chase after again.”
“Hmph, why should I chase him back?”
Jiang Lin’er raised her head and puffed out her chest. She patted the armor plate on her body and shouted in a drunken stupor, “Are you afraid that I, your Grandmaster, will have no one who wants me? A few of my friends who are scoundrels want to become my Dao companion!”
Qi Yuan, who was standing at the side, felt a little awkward. He said softly, “The Great Dao is the basic truth. Although the Dao is about seeking Dharma, treasures, Dao companions, and land, Master, Disciple, you guys are placing too much emphasis on the matter of Dao companions.”
Ling’e could not help but mess up the rhythm of the music. She covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Jiang Lin’er curled her lips and said, “You’re the last person who has the right to say that, silly Second Disciple.” “Uh.” Qi Yuan could not help but cover his face with his hand. He recalled his own story and silently poured himself a gla.s.s of wine.
Ling’e, who was at the side, had already picked up the Erhu. However, she was glared at by her senior brother and quickly picked up the Guzheng again.
Li Changshou hurriedly tried to save his master’s dignity and smiled.
“Humans have emotions and desires. The Dao has thousands of true meanings, but they are ultimately the natural laws outside of their nature. It’s only human nature. Master, you don’t have to take it to heart. It’s a pleasure to cultivate the Dao. This is what you taught me, your disciple.”
After that, Li Changshou changed the topic. He said seriously, “Grandmaster, if that’s the case, I think you should still have a place in Exalted w.a.n.g Qing’s heart.”
“I don’t know. Who cares if I do!?!”
Jiang Lin’er rolled her eyes and continued, “I’ve decided. I don’t need the Tear of The Previous Life. I’ll take it that I’m back to see you guys!”
Ling’e was puzzled. She could sense that her Grandmaster clearly liked Exalted w.a.n.g Qing.
Li Changshou said to Ling’e via voice transmission, “Place the Tear of The Previous Life on the meditation cus.h.i.+on and pretend to accidentally leave them behind.”
Although Ling’e was a little confused, she still obediently followed his instructions.
