Chapter 280 - Everything Is… a Choice (1/2)
“Senior Sister Jiu, what is that golden light?”
In the chess room of Little Qiong Peak, when the merit descended, the young girl, Yus.h.i.+, who was dressed in her training attire, asked that question softly. Jiu Jiu, who was curled up on the window sill, yawned lazily. She turned to look out the window, the jade wine gourd in her hand swaying gently.
The wine gourd was a congratulatory gift from her Disciple-Nephew, Li Changshou, after she had become a Heaven Immortal. It could contain several jars of fine wine and could also improve the taste of the wine.
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ blinked and hurriedly said, “It was here just now. Why did it disappear?” “That direction… Hey!”
Jiu Jiu waved her hand and explained nonchalantly, “That’s the Pill Chamber on the Little Qiong Peak. It’s considered your Eldest Disciple-Nephew Changshou’s exclusive cultivation place. He must have made some pills. Junior Sister, don’t worry too much about that side. Your Disciple-Nephew is very mysterious. He’s clearly just a little disciple, but… Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hehe.”
“What’s wrong with my senior brother?”
Ling’e, who was meditating on the bed in the corner, opened her eyes and asked softly. Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “There was a stream of golden light just now… Uh, why is the Sect Leader here?”
Upon hearing the words ‘Sect Leader’, Ling’e and Jiu Yus.h.i.+ gathered by the window and looked at the sky of the Little Qiong Peak.
Ji Wuyou came and left quickly. He mumbled in the air and left with his hands behind his back.
He was only in charge of was.h.i.+ng the ground. As long as the Immortal Du Sect was not destroyed, he could do whatever he wanted.
“Sect Leader, do you have an array formation here?”
Jiu Jiu tilted her head and muttered, “Why do I feel that the Sect Leader seems to be helping someone cover up? That’s strange.”
“Aunt-Master, you’re thinking too much.”
Ling’e said softly. She, who was dressed in a light green ta.s.sel dress, looked even more beautiful and charming. “Senior Brother, how can you be so capable as to let the Sect Leader cover for you?”
“Who can say for sure what’s going on in this world?”
Jiu Jiu spread her hands. “Before I brought your senior brother to the North Continent that year, I would never have thought that today, I would be raised by an ordinary disciple from Little Qiong Peak like your senior brother. Look at me now. I drink your senior brother’s wine, use your senior brother’s pills, eat your senior brother’s spiritual beasts, and sleep here at your senior brother’s place. If your senior brother has any improper requests for me, I would be too embarra.s.sed to reject him.”
Ling’e immediately supported her forehead with her hand. She felt that her Little Aunt-Master was looking for an excuse to attack her senior brother…
Yus.h.i.+ was puzzled. “Senior Sister, aren’t you an elder?” “Silly child.” Jiu Jiu raised her hand and patted the young girl Yus.h.i.+’s head. She said gently, “When you grow up and have a cultivation level, you will know how good this Disciple-Nephew is. What elders? Doesn’t your Spirit Pill that is meant for curbing hunger pangs smell good?”
“It does! However, is this Grandmaster Changshou really that… mystical?”
At that moment, a confident reply came from outside the door. “Of course.”
Jiu Jiu chuckled and mocked, “I knew that you would rush over to the Little Qiong Peak as soon as there’s any movement!” Outside the pavilion, a beautiful figure accompanied Jiu Jiu’s teasing.
She was dressed in an icy-blue dress, and she was wearing white cloth shoes. Her ankles were tied with an icy-blue ribbon, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail. She walked over with light footsteps.
There was no need to say anything more about her slender legs and waist. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and she looked heroic and gentle. Naturally, she was the pure and cold fairy that many Immortal Du Sect disciples yearned for…
She was Youqin Xuanya.
“Greetings, Aunt-Masters.” Youqin Xuanya bowed. Jiu Yus.h.i.+ quickly returned the greeting, while Jiu Jiu smiled happily.
Ling’e, who was at the side, asked gently, “Did Senior Sister get alarmed by the golden light?”
“Yes.” Youqin Xuanya nodded gently. Then, she looked at Jiu Yus.h.i.+ and said seriously, “Aunt-Master Yus.h.i.+, you mentioned Senior Brother Changshou just now.”
She continued, “Actually, there is no need to doubt that. Senior Brother Changshou is not just mystical. In my eyes, he should be a unique and unparalleled Qi Refinement cultivator. He is knowledgeable. Not only does he know the cultivation method, but he also has a deep understanding of the Dao of Inaction. He is also good at array formations, alchemy, writing, and music. He is also proficient in the ways of the world and can handle everything. Moreover, Senior Brother Changshou is the most…”
“Senior Sister!”
Ling’e hurriedly walked up and grabbed Youqin Xuanya’s hand. “Let’s go upstairs and talk about this. Don’t say this in front of Aunt-Master Yus.h.i.+.”
Youqin Xuanya was confused. “Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
“Well, no.” Ling’e blinked.
How should I phrase it?
I can’t possibly say that I have to prevent Aunt-Master Yus.h.i.+ from falling for his senior brother…
“Ah, let’s go!”
Ling’e ignored everything and used her coquettish technique to pull Youqin Xuanya towards the stairs at the side.
Although Youqin Xuanya did not understand what was going on, she still allowed Ling’e to pull her to the second floor and whisper to her.
Beside the window, Jiu Yus.h.i.+’s face was full of confusion. She looked at Jiu Jiu for help.
Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Do you see that? That Disciple-Nephew Changshou is terrifying.”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ was even more confused. “About this… Senior Sister, can you explain in more detail?”
“Look at Ling’e and Xuanya. They are both rare cultivation talents in the Immortal Du Sect. There’s no need to mention their looks and figures. As a woman, I think that they are very beautiful.”
As she spoke, Jiu Jiu looked down at her chest and sighed. “This is the only advantage I have.”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ was even more confused. “Does this have anything to do with Disciple-Nephew Changshou?”
Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Can’t you tell that Lingle and Xuanya are in love with Changshou?”
“I can tell…”
“Qi Refinement cultivators are not like the mortal world where men can have many concubines. The Dao couples of Qi Refinement cultivators mostly only consist of a male and a female.”
Jiu Jiu sighed and said, “Look, two beautiful women like you have fallen in love with Changshou. Changshou is so fragrant. Do you understand?”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ looked enlightened and nodded seriously.
Jiu Jiu sighed again and said, “The key is that Ling’e and Xuanya are still on good terms with each other. They did not get jealous at all. Your senior sister, I, can’t even watch a good show after so many years.”
“That’s right.” Jiu Yus.h.i.+ said in a low voice, “On careful thought, this is quite magical.”
“Something even more amazing has happened.” Jiu Jiu spread her hands. “According to what I know, the two of them have expressed their feelings for Changshou. Ling’e has also set her goal of winning her Senior Brother’s heart. Xuanya also mentions her Senior Brother Changshou all the time. Even if Changshou were to two-time the both of them, they would probably agree without hesitation. However, Changshou… rejected both of them.”
“Huh?”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ widened her eyes. “These two sisters… Uh, these two Disciple-Nieces are already capable women. Is Disciple-Nephew Changshou still not satisfied?”
“Look, you don’t understand, right?”
“Senior Sister, please enlighten me.”
Jiu Jiu smiled calmly and shrugged her shoulders. She sighed dejectedly and said, “Actually, I don’t understand why either. However, I feel that it’s quite normal. It’s indeed something that Little Changshou would do. Perhaps, Changshou is afraid that his Dao companion will be more troublesome and bring more karma to him.”
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ was puzzled. “Why would there be more karma? Aren’t they already his junior sisters?”
“It’s probably because Xuanya is only Changshou’s junior sister now. If she encounters danger outside, Changshou will probably fly over slowly and formulate a plan to save her. If Xuanya becomes Changshou’s Dao companion, Changshou would fly over and save her without thinking. There is still a difference.”
Jiu Jiu removed the wine stopper and raised her head to take a sip.
Jiu Yus.h.i.+ lowered her head and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she asked, “What about you, Senior Sister? Senior Sister, you should have taken a liking to Disciple-Nephew Changshou, right?”
“Pfft, ahem, ahem, ahem! Don’t spout nonsense!”
They heard light footsteps from the side. Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya’s skirts fluttered as they walked over together. They began to ask about the results of Jiu Yus.h.i.+’s half a month of cultivation and diverted the topic away from their senior brother.
Not long after, the pavilion was filled with chatter and laughter.
