Chapter 221 - The Little Reward of the Heavenly Dao’s Confusion (1/2)

Chapter 221 The Little Reward of the Heavenly Dao’s Confusion

In Ling’e’s straw hut, the two of them moved two round chairs and sat side by side by the window, watching the old immortal couple under the willow tree by the lake.

Ling’e held two trays with her Dharma powers, which contained the dried fruits and snacks that her senior brother liked. Beside them, she even brewed some refres.h.i.+ng tea.

Li Changshou had made some arrangements outside Ling’e’s straw hut to prevent Exalted w.a.n.g Qing from discovering that the two of them were observing in the open.

Little Qiong Peak special observing team!

Xiong Lingli was currently busy opening up the new territory of the Spiritual beast enclosure. She did not know much about the matter and was not interested in it. Hence, she did not join in the fun.

Actually, it would not matter if Li Changshou did not make those arrangements…

The two of them only had eyes for each other. Why would they care about what happened next?

The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The breeze was gentle.

The willow branches were tender, making one’s heart flutter like the waves in the lake.

In that situation, Li Changshou’s poetic personality rose again. However, after thinking about it, he wisely chose to give up.

He decided not to embarra.s.s himself in front of his junior sister.

Ling’e frowned slightly. She had some objections to her senior brother’s previous act of offering medicine to their Grandmaster.

“Senior Brother, isn’t it a little… inappropriate for us to help Grandmaster?”

Ling’e asked softly as she twirled a strand of hair around her fingers. “Of course it’s not appropriate,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Now that the two of them have developed to such a stage, any extra push will cause accidents. Exalted w.a.n.g Qing has a kind of… indescribable personality. If Little Grandmaster really uses such a method to succeed, how will the two of them face each other after the medicinal effects are dispelled?” Ling’e immediately felt conflicted and whispered, “If they are in love with each other, then it should be fine… That’s not right. There might be some unhappiness because of this if Exalted w.a.n.g Qing feels that he has been offended.”

She turned her head to the side and did not dare to look at her senior brother beside her. Her neck was flushed red. “Since that’s the case, Senior Brother… why did you give that thing to Little Grandmaster?” “Don’t worry, that’s fake.” “Huh?”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “Do you still remember that I once reprimanded you because of w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Yan’er?”

“Yes.” Ling’e nodded slightly and said aggrievedly, “Senior Brother, you were so fierce when you scolded me that time. It has been many years. How could I forget?”

“Haha,” Li Changshou chuckled and explained, “Liu Yan’er and w.a.n.g Qi are also in love. However, Liu Yan’er was still hesitant at that time. Love is not just about having a future just because you’re in love with each other. There are many other factors for consideration. The relations.h.i.+p between men and women is a topic that is often mentioned in the mortal world, because it is one of the three most important things for mortals. However, a person cannot only have feelings. They should have other aspects of life, such as their pursuit of cultivation. If he placed all his thoughts on a certain relations.h.i.+p, it would only cause the relations.h.i.+p to become more abnormal and burdensome. At last, it would end. It would be the same for Exalted w.a.n.g Qing. He might be wary of his Dao or his reputation in the sect… In short, it’s impossible to use force.”

Ling’e did not seem to understand. Her senior brother seemed to have answered her question, but he also did not seem to have answered her…

Her senior brother even took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. “But, Senior Brother… The main point now is that Grandmaster thought that that was some kind of medicine. If it doesn’t work, what will happen to Grandmaster?”

Li Changshou could not help but smile. He pinched an apricot stem and placed it in his mouth. He chewed slowly and said, “That will depend on Grandmaster’s choice. If Grandmaster were to express her thoughts first and let him know that they could improve their relations.h.i.+p further. After Exalted w.a.n.g Qing agrees and drinks the bottle of Yuan Nurturing Liquid, he would take a step forward even if he is fine. If Grandmaster does not express his thoughts and only secretly drugs him, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing would naturally be fine after drinking… In that case, we naturally do not have any karma.”

Ling’e said worriedly, “Grandmaster, what if you blame us?”

“If Grandmaster comes to question us, we just have to say that it is because Exalted w.a.n.g Qing has a high cultivation level. We will be able to handle it.”

Is it that complicated?

Ling’e, who was listening by the side, opened her mouth slightly. Her expression was slightly dazed.

It was just a choice of whether or not to use the drug. Why does Senior Brother have so many tricks up his sleeve…

Indeed, it was impossible to make arrangements for her senior brother using the same method.

On the other hand, Li Changshou paused and looked at Ling’e in disappointment. “The logic behind this is so simple. You actually failed to figure it out.”

“Senior Brother!”

Ling’e raised her hand and placed it in front of Li Changshou. She said in a low voice, “There’s no need to say anything else. I’ll copy the Steadiness Sutra five hundred times! I am willing to accept the punishment this time!”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and said, “I’m not punis.h.i.+ng you. You have to watch and think more. You have to learn to see the essence of the problem through the surface…

There, Grandmaster has begun.”

Ling’e immediately perked up. She moved closer to Li Changshou and looked at the two people drinking under the willow tree.

Under the willow tree, Jiang Lin’er took out another wine pot after they finished a pot of wine, and gently winked at Exalted w.a.n.g Qing.

“Um… Do you want some more?”

“Sure.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled and nodded. Although his sentences were short, they carried a hint of gentleness.

Li Changshou could not help but shake his head.

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing was really blinded by the love between men and women. At that moment, Jiang Lin’er’s expression had betrayed her. However, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing did not notice anything unusual. As expected, being obsessed with beautiful women was just as scary as being hot-headed.

Jiang Lin’er held the pot of wine and hesitated a few times. Her expression was hesitant, but she still poured a gla.s.s of wine for him. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. She did not dare to look at him anymore, obviously feeling guilty. “What’s wrong?”

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing picked up the wine cup and asked gently, “Is there anything that’s hard for you to say?”

“Well, it’s nothing. Drink it!”

“Alright.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing raised his cup and stared at Jiang Lin’er. According to Li Changshou’s estimation, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing should have had the “Gentle Gaze Effect” and “Forming Effects” automatically added to his eyes…

There was no need for a whitening effect. Although Little Grandmaster was extremely vicious, she was still fair-skinned and beautiful.

The wine gla.s.s was slowly delivered to the mouth of Exalted w.a.n.g Qing. He did not hesitate to taste it…

“Wait!”

Jiang Lin’er suddenly let out a soft cry. Exalted w.a.n.g Qing could not help but blink. There was confusion in his eyes.

“What happened?” “I! Nothing…” The corners of Jiang Lin’er’s mouth twitched slightly. She gritted her teeth and sighed. “Alright, I really can’t do this to you. I spiked the wine.”

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing frowned slightly.

Jiang Lin’er lowered her head, pursed her lips, and blinked. She said in a low voice, “I feel that it has been more than ten years since the two of us have reconciled. We should be… taking another step forward… Let’s take the few steps that we did not take back then…”

She raised her hand and adjusted her hair by her ear. Her voice became softer and softer. In the end, she only said, “You understand, right?”

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled and asked, “What medicine is this?”

“Some Love Water that I got.” Jiang Lin’er was loyal and did not betray her little grand-disciple. She raised her hand and gave him a thumbs-up before continuing, “I heard that the effect is very strong!”

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing could not help but laugh. He raised the wine cup in his hand and drank it in one gulp while Jiang Lin’er cried softly.

“Hey!”

“Ahem.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing put down his cup and looked at Jiang Lin’er affectionately.

“Lin’er, I’m not good at this Dao. I only know how to cultivate. Many times, I can’t show perfect concern about you. What should I do next? Can you teach me?”

“This… This…”

Jiang Lin’er’s face turned red. She hesitated for a while. “I don’t know about that… Perhaps, we should wait for the medicine to take effect…”

“Okay.”

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing nodded solemnly. Then, the two of them sat under the willow tree. Their eyes met and they waited quietly.

A few moments later…

“Why don’t you drink more?”

Jiang Lin’er asked weakly.

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. He nodded slowly and grabbed the wine pot. Then, he poured himself another cup of wine.
