Chapter 235 - t’s His Fault For…Being Too Proactive (2/2)

When Li Changshou entered the pavilion, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou’s eyes lit up. There seemed to be hope in Jiang Lin’er’s eyes which were a little hopeless at first. Exalted w.a.n.g Qing was the only one who looked at Li Changshou with the kind look that most elders would give to their juniors.

Li Changshou led Ling’e forward and bowed. He greeted the Sect Leader, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing, and his Grandmaster.

Ji Wuyou squinted and nodded. He casually greeted, “Changshou, you’re here.” “Yes, I’m here…”

“Yes, it’s fine. I’ll deal with your Little Qiong Peak first.” Ji Wuyou said, “I was here to visit w.a.n.g Qing but I didn’t expect to run into you.’ Why does the Sect Leader… seem like he is trying to explain something?

Jiu Yiyi was confused. In her opinion, perhaps Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and that outstanding disciple of Little Qiong Peak… had some kind of long-lasting friends.h.i.+p. Suddenly, Jiu Yiyi thought of Li Changshou’s other ident.i.ty-the genius alchemist of the sect!

The pills that he refined were extremely popular among the elders. It was even difficult to obtain one.

Could it be that the Sect Leader…

Yeah, although the Sect Leader does not have a Dao companion, he does look a little weak.

In an instant, Jiu Yiyi thought of many things.

Li Changshou asked softly, “Grandmaster, you asked me to come… What’s wrong?”

Jiang Lin’er sighed softly and whispered, “An hour ago, a good friend of mine sent a message through a communication jade token. Your Aunt-Master suddenly disappeared in this life. She could not be found anywhere in the Netherworld. We do not know if she is dead or alive! Changshou, what… what should we do? She did not have much lifespan in this life in the first place. I have already thought of how she could cultivate and become an immortal after she reincarnated. How could such a thing happen for no reason!?! Heaven is really blind. Why did my First Disciple suffer so much hards.h.i.+p!?!”

On the side, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing extended his hand and patted Jiang Lin’er’s arm gently.

He comforted her gently, “This is just a message from the Netherworld. The situation is not that serious. Lin’er, don’t worry too much. There is still a chance to turn the situation around.”

Li Changshou frowned when he heard that, but he did not say anything. He lowered his head slightly and thought carefully.

In fact, he could not think of any other possibilities. The tree spirits were weak creatures. It was not rare for them to be captured, killed, and captured to refine pills. However, it was hard to accept that something like that had happened to someone who was close to them.

*Coughs*

Ji Wuyou could not help but cough.

Today, the Sect Leader’s cough was relatively light. At least, he did not vomit blood.

It was probably because the injuries to his Essence Soul had been reduced significantly.

The Sect Leader said warmly, “In my opinion, rather than making wild guesses here, we should send someone to the Netherworld to investigate.”

Jiang Lin’er had originally wanted to nod immediately. She then looked up at Li Changshou with an inquisitive gaze. Clearly, in Jiang Lin’er’s judgment, the one who had the most ideas was not Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, but his little grand-disciple…

“Pardon me for speaking boldly. Actually, the Sect Leader is right. This matter can only be known after we go to the Netherworld.”

Li Changshou bowed slightly and continued, “Why don’t Grandmaster bring me to the Netherworld to investigate this matter in detail?”

Later on, he naturally used the paper effigy to head there together with his grandmaster.

Jiang Lin’er immediately nodded and agreed. Before she could say anything, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou stood up and naturally lifted the hem of his Daoist robe.

“Then, let’s not delay. Let’s set off now!”

At that moment, everyone in the room fell silent, so much that they could hear the pin drop. All of them had different expressions.

They thought, Since when did the Sect Leader care so much about the matter of Little Qiong Peak?

Ji Wuyou said calmly, “It just so happens that Elder w.a.n.g Qing is preparing to transcend the tribulation and cannot move about. It just so happens that I have been in deep thought recently and want to go out and move around. Therefore, I can go to the Netherworld to enjoy the scenery.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Do you need to say ‘It just so happens’ in order to make your logic clear?

After hearing that, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Jiang Lin’er looked at each other and smiled. Both of them were puzzled.

Jiu Yiyi, who was usually elegant and beautiful, s.h.i.+fted her beautiful eyes back and forth between her master and the Sect Leader.

That was a story.

On the other hand, the Little Smart Imp Ling’e, who was usually quick-witted, blinked gently. Her gaze s.h.i.+fted back and forth on her Grandmaster, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing, and the Sect Leader.

That was another story.

Exalted w.a.n.g Qing then said, “Sect Leader, you still have to guard the sect. You cannot act rashly. This matter involves Lin’er’s beloved disciple. I have to accompany Lin’er to investigate this matter.”

“Hey, it’s fine.” Ji Wuyou waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it, w.a.n.g Qing. Right now, our Immortal Du Sect is nothing but steady! There is no point in me staying in the sect and guarding it. Instead, it is… ahem! In this case, this matter is decided. We will set off in an hour!

Take it as the Sect Leader’s Order.

Both of you, prepare well. I will prepare some gifts. There are a few familiar faces in the Netherworld office.”

As Ji Wuyou spoke, he left the pavilion with his hands behind his back, leaving the few of them to look at each other.

What’s wrong with the Sect Leader today?

He rarely walks around the sect. Why did he suddenly behave this way… Li Changshou understood something and did not say anything. He said to Jiang Lin’er, “I’ll go back and change my clothes first. Then, I’ll take Ling’e away from the w.a.n.g Qing Residence and quickly return to Little Qiong Peak.” The so-called change of clothes was actually just a change of paper effigy.

It would be too dangerous for him to go out with his Sect Leader, who was a Golden Immortal whose combat power was measured by units, using his main body. To be safe, Li Changshou used the best paper effigy that he had made and perfectly attached his aura to it. He then prepared a few spare paper effigies.

He instructed Ling’e to not reveal that matter…

“Senior Brother, can’t I go with you?” Ling’e asked pitifully.

“The spiritual energy in the Netherworld is mottled, and it is full of Yin aura and ghosts. You will damage your Dao base if you touch any of them.”

Li Changshou explained a few things to her, but he still reminded her worriedly, “If Master asks about what we are doing outside…”

“I’ll just say that Grandmaster had brought you along to discuss the Dao outside, together with the Sect Leader!”

“You’ve become smarter recently.” Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed Ling’e’s head, causing her hair to be slightly messy. “Alright, I’ll go now.”

Then, Li Changshou turned around and walked towards… the Pill Chamber.

His main body turned into a wisp of smoke and went to the secret underground chamber.

At the same time, the meditation cus.h.i.+on in front of the Pill Furnace swayed gently. Li Changshou’s figure grew out again. That was naturally the incarnation of the paper effigy.

Ling’e blinked and asked softly with some hesitation in her eyes, “Senior Brother, is there any difference between this and your main body? Why can’t I tell?”

Li Changshou thought for a while and concluded, “This paper effigy is just an illusion. No matter how real its appearance is, it is only condensed using mystical abilities. It is similar to a concealment spell. It can fight with others, but it also can’t do anything.”

Ling’e nodded in confusion and watched Li Changshou’s incarnation leave the Pill Chamber.

Initially, Ling’e still felt reluctant to part with him. However, she looked down and knew that her senior brother was hiding in a rift of a rock on the Little Qiong Peak…

Ah, Senior Brother’s character is really… indescribable.

He is too mysterious. It is simply breathtaking!
