Chapter 266 Look at This Trap, It’s Big and Deep
As the saying goes, touch pitch and be defiled.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that the moment he bid farewell to Fairy Yun Xiao, he would be kidnapped by Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao and brought back to the deserted island that he had been hiding on previously… At the edge of the deserted island, a fish shook its tail and blended into the school of fish, slowly swimming into the distance. On the island, there were two cracking sounds. The s.h.i.+ning Golden Scissors swayed in front of the “young girl” who was trapped. The paper effigy smiled bitterly and ignited the flames on his own. A wisp of green smoke flew out from the flames and condensed into Li Changshou’s figure. As soon as he appeared, he was bound by the golden numinous treasure rope. Looking at the two seniors of the Dao Sect and the experts of Jie School, Li Changshou was really puzzled.
These two sc.u.mbags…
Ahem, what are these two cute fairies doing?
Qiong Xiao, who was clad in a dress, squinted and smiled. She pinched her smooth chin with her slender fingers, as if she was thinking about how to torture Li Changshou.
Bi Xiao, who was dressed in a light blue short skirt, was squatting beside Li Changshou’s self-ignited paper effigy. She looked at the remaining ashes and her eyes were filled with surprise…
There were many paper effigies.
She had seen that scene before! Qiong Xiao raised her hand and set up a few layers of array formations. Li Changshou stood quietly on the beach and waited for the two big shots to speak. “You… Hmm!” Qiong Xiao cleared her throat and walked to Li Changshou’s side with her hands behind her back. She circled him twice.
“You’re th eSea G.o.d, Li Changshou, a disciple of Ren School, and an important minister of the Heavenly Courts… right?” Li Changshou nodded slowly and smiled warmly. “Senior, do you have any instructions for me?”
Qiong Xiao puffed out her chest and raised her head. She said calmly, “I didn’t invite you here today to make things difficult for you.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
She had already tied him up, how is that not making things difficult for him!?! If I’m not wrong, this rope should be a Postnatal numinous treasure, right? It’s even a top-grade one! “I will ask you dozens of simple questions. If you answer truthfully, I will let you go. I will also give you a few treasures as a congratulatory gift to you for cultivating the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.”
Qiong Xiao snorted and extended her hand to the side. Bi Xiao immediately tossed a light green pearl over. Qiong Xiao continued, “This is the Truth Pearl. It can tell if your words are true or false. If you dare to lie, be careful of my Golden Scissors!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Big Sister, you’re deliberately being fierce. You’re just short of writing ‘this pearl is just to scare people’ on your face. Logically speaking, if there really was such a pearl, shouldn’t she have secretly put it in her sleeve to determine the authenticity of his words?
Is it going to work if you say it out loud… Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior, feel free to ask.”
“Are you a man?”
“Yes.”
“You have been cultivating for less than five hundred years?”
“Yes.”
“Senior Brother Xuan Du ordered you to court my sister?”
“Nonsense.”
Just as Qiong Xiao was about to continue asking, Li Changshou frowned and stared at her.
He spoke before she did. “Senior, this joke is a little overboard. If this gets out, I don’t care about my reputation, but what will happen to Senior Yun Xiao’s reputation? Everyone in the Primordial World knows that among the Three Fairies of Jie School, Fairy Yun Xiao is pure and innocent. Fairy Qiong Xiao is intelligent and wise. Fairy Bi Xiao is sharp and intelligent. You cannot say such words.”
Qiong Xiao blinked and snorted. “No matter what you say, you can’t confuse my Dao heart!”
Although she said that, her lips curled up unconsciously.
By the side, Bi Xiao stood up as well. She and Qiong Xiao stood on each side. The two sisters folded their arms and began another round of questioning
Li Changshou did not feel guilty at all. Every time he answered, he would not think twice. The ‘Truth Pearl’ was just like a decoration. There was nothing unusual about it.
Not long after, Li Changshou understood why the two fairies had tied him up.
They were worried that he would deliberately get close to Fairy Yun Xiao. They were afraid that it would be a scheme of Ren School. They felt that their elder sister had been in seclusion for a long time and was too naive. Hence, they had schemed against him.
Their rationale was not bad, but that method… You guys are something, Three Xiao Immortals. Li Changshou felt a little helpless. From an outsider’s perspective, Fairy Yun Xiao was hundreds of times more reliable than her two sisters combined.
However, since Fairy Qiong Bi had come looking for him, Li Changshou could take the opportunity to plot and make the two of them help him keep the secret about his background.
In the question and answer session, Li Changshou fully displayed the art of language. Without a trace, he took the initiative to ask and answer. On the surface, he complimented and secretly guided them. In just a moment, he made Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao moan softly, unable to ask anything.
Qiong Xiao frowned slightly. “In that case, did we misunderstand you?”
“I accidentally caused you to misunderstand, Senior.” Li Changshou sighed. “Senior, can you untie me?”
“Untie you?”
Qiong Xiao raised her eyebrows and raised the pearl in her hand. “Sea G.o.d, Sea G.o.d, no matter how brilliant your schemes are, you still fell into my trap. Did you think that I was just scaring you with this pearl?” Li Changshou muttered to himself before asking, “Isn’t that so?”
“Hmph!”
Qiong Xiao twisted her fingers slightly, causing the pearl to emit a dazzling white light. However, a conversation could be heard from within.
That was Qiong Xiao’s twenty-fourth question. “Do you have improper thoughts about my sister?”
Li Changshou answered decisively, “No.”
The pearl trembled slightly and the light immediately brightened.
“You lied.” Qiong Xiao smiled smugly. “Did I win this time? I’ve said it before. If you lie, I’ll…”
As she spoke, Qiong Xiao took out the Golden Scissors and waved it in front of Li Changshou, making snipping sounds. “This…”
Li Changshou did not panic. He only said, “How else could I have answered that? Was I supposed to say that I have improper thoughts about Senior Yun Xiao? Pardon me but let me ask you, Senior. If you were a man, would you have such thoughts?”
“No.”
“Huh?” Li Changshou was caught off guard. Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao shook their heads. Qiong Xiao clicked her tongue and smiled. She sighed. “My sister looks gentle, but she’s actually very naggy. Moreover, she’s always bossing us around. She’s afraid of everything.”
“That’s right.” Bi Xiao chimed in from the side, “When Big Sister gets angry, she’s very impressive! Didn’t you see how frightened our Big Brother was?!”
“Moreover, Sister is in seclusion all year round. She’s very boring.” “After she comes out of seclusion, she will still want to test our principles of cultivation. If we can’t answer her questions, we will be grounded. We won’t be allowed to go out for tens of thousands of years!”
“Sister likes to dance when she’s drunk. Her dance moves… Eh, it’s hard to say.” Why do I feel like… this “Great Interrogation Conference” is starting to turn into a complaint session?
Li Changshou coughed and said, “Seniors, it’s better to… keep these words to yourself. Senior Yun Xiao is just worried about you.”
Qiong Xiao pursed her lips and put away the Golden Scissors. She took two steps with her hands behind her back and said, “To tell you the truth, we didn’t tie you up here for anything else. We just wanted to test your feelings. You, on the other hand, are barely pa.s.sable. You are also a disciple of Ren School which Uncle-Master values. Unfortunately, you are not a disciple of a Saint.” Bi Xiao continued, “However, the Grand Supreme Elder has imparted to you the Dao of alchemy. Senior Brother Xuan Du also protects you. That’s not bad. You have pa.s.sed the test! Why did you go to the Heavenly Courts? Isn’t it a little lowly to be a minister to others?”
Qiong Xiao continued, “Besides, I asked you forty-nine questions just now. You only answered one of them dishonestly. You have barely pa.s.sed my test. Your problem now is that your cultivation level is too weak!” Bi Xiao looked at Li Changshou and shook her head. “Yes, I’m not asking you to take half a step into the Saint realm. At the very least, you should cultivate to the Zenith Heaven realm as soon as possible.” “At the very least, you should have a few more powerful treasures. That way, you can protect our sister…”
“You can’t lack betrothal gifts either…” “Senior, Seniors!”
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly said, “I’m sorry to ask. Seniors, you must have left the Three-Immortal Island for a while, right?”
