Chapter 334 - Surrender (2/2)
He had never done anything to harm the Immortal Du Sect or the Ren School. Naturally, he could sit still.
“I did not hide it on purpose. I was really forced to do so.” “I understand. I understand,” Ji Wuyou replied with a smile. His pale face turned a little red. “Sometimes, it’s really hard to spell certain things out loud. I can understand that you have your own difficulties.”
“Ah, the living beings in this world are mediocre. Be it those who don’t know the Dao or those who work hard and pursue their own Dao, all of them have reasons that are hard to explain.”
Li Changshou could not help but feel touched. The Sect Leader is really… His words are so heartwarming. Fake nice men were just like Yuan Qing, who was pestering his toxic junior sister because he wanted her body.
Real nice men were really like the Sect Leader. He was empathetic towards the disciples in the sect. He was sensible, understood their difficulties, and would comfort and encourage the disciples in the sect!
Li Changshou stood up and bowed with a Dao salute. He praised, “Thank you for your understanding, Sect Leader!”
Ji Wuyou smiled awkwardly and coughed a few more times. He said in a low voice, “Have you heard the rumors outside the town recently?” “I’ve been busy with some matters recently.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Although the situation has been decided, there are still some lingering effects. I didn’t have the chance to hear anything from the town.” Ji Wuyou was confused. Why did he feel that he did not understand what Changshou said? Even so, Ji Wuyou continued, “It’s my fault. When Master came to take Li Jing in as a disciple, I was too excited and told him about it. However, I did not tell him who it was. I only told him about your existence.”
Li Changshou could not help but frown. Does Perfected Du’e know that I’m the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d?
Why does this matter have to be spread? However, considering that Perfected Du’e and the Sect Leader are master and disciple, it is reasonable for him to not hide this matter from him. Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. The Little Qiong Peak’s vagrancy plan was really imminent!
Ling’e’s frown deepened.
Why did she feel that although her senior brother and the Sect Leader were talking to each other enthusiastically, the two of them… did not seem to be talking about the same thing? Li Changshou sighed and said, “Sect Leader, there’s actually nothing to say about that. I’m just lucky. There have been many twists and turns along the way.”
“It’s not bad that you think that way.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “None of us can decide our origins. Whether we have a strong background or not, we are all living beings who work hard on the Great Dao.” Background? Li Changshou’s doubts intensified. Ling’e suddenly asked, “Sect Leader, what exactly are you talking about?” Ji Wuyou looked a little awkward. He lowered his head and coughed twice. He sighed and said, “Changshou, I spoke too much to my master at home and said that the Great Daoist Master has a son who is cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect. Then, my master must have gotten drunk somewhere and told others that the Great Daoist Master has a child. The rumors are now spreading everywhere… However, don’t worry. I never mentioned that you are the son of the Great Daoist Master!”
Ling’e could not help but raise her hand to her forehead.
Li Changshou widened his eyes and instantly forgot to breathe. He sat there and looked at the Sect Leader who was in front of him. It was as if a hundred Daoist Wen Jings had entered his mind. Destroy it… destroy it directly… He even dared to create rumors about the Great Daoist Master! He even implicated him!
The rumors that were spreading about the Great Daoist Master’s Pure Yang name were actually from Perfected Du’e!
To think that he had always thought that it was a dirty trick of the Western Sect. He was thinking of making up a Western fairy tale to retaliate! For a moment, Li Changshou’s heart was in turmoil, and his Dao heart trembled.
He could not help but ask, “Sect Leader, how did you deduce that I’m the Great Daoist Master’s son?”
Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “I still have the ability to tell such things.”
Li Changshou deliberated for a while and took out a jade token. He handed it to the Sect Leader and said softly, “Sect Leader, please take a look at this. I have my answer. Don’t mention the Sect Leader’s words to anyone else. If we’re not careful, we might attract trouble. If we’re not careful, we might ruin the many schemes of Ren School.”
Ji Wuyou looked down and could not help but be shocked. In an instant, he seemed to have understood something. His eyes were filled with shock and his Dao heart was about to lose control.
These Dao runes!
Those words! Little Daoist Master Xuan Du! “Changshou, you!” “Sect Leader, please don’t blame me.” Li Changshou’s expression was serious. “Don’t mention this to outsiders. If you trust me, please swear a Great Dao oath to restrain yourself.”
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out a jade pot from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Ji Wuyou. Li Changshou said, “The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in here is a gift for you, Sect Leader. It’s to thank you for remaining tight-lipped about it.” Ji Wuyou took a deep breath. At that moment, he suddenly understood the reason and explained what he did not understand previously. The little disciple in front of him was more than just the son of the Great Daoist Master!
Could it be that Little Daoist Master Xuan Du is already a disciple of the Saint, but he kept it a secret?
That’s right. Changshou is probably the reincarnation of a certain expert from Ren School who has yet to be born. There must be a huge scheme! Today, I was implicated. The Great Dao oath seemed to be restraining me, Ji Wuyou. In fact, Changshou is protecting my life!
“Ah!”
Ji Wuyou sighed in frustration. “Why! Forget it. I’ll make an oath. Changshou, please don’t blame me.” “Sect Leader, please keep the matter regarding the Ancestral Master a secret,” Li Changshou reminded worriedly. “If Ancestral Master Du’e misunderstands…” Ji Wuyou hurriedly said, “Don’t call him that. Just call him the Perfected One!”
“Alright, if the Perfected One misunderstands, we will let him misunderstand. You must remind him not to mention this matter again.”
“Okay.”
The power of the Heavenly Dao came and went. The Sect Leader rode a cloud back to the Heaven-Breaking Peak. “Phew…”
Li Changshou heaved a long sigh of relief. His body sank into the round chair. He wanted to complain, but he was speechless. He could only raise his hand and rub his eyebrows.
He cursed using Ren School’s vulgarities.
It was no wonder that the Sect Leader had been so easy to talk to previously. It turned out that he had already thought wrongly about that night.
The Great Daoist Master’s flesh and blood! Does the Sect Leader usually hide in the small black room in the corner of the Immortal Du Hall and watch those cliché stories while coughing blood?! She heard a chuckle and pressed her cold hands on Li Changshou’s shoulders, rubbing them gently. “Senior Brother, how should we deal with this matter?”
“What is it?”
“It’s about someone spreading rumors about the Great Daoist Master,” Ling’e said softly.
“I can’t do anything about it.” Li Changshou shook his head. “The Great Daoist Master’s ident.i.ty is special. He is the only disciple of Ren School and a few experts below the Saint. The topic regarding the Great Daoist Master is the most attractive to living beings. Even if we ask the six immortal sects of Ren School to stand up and refute the rumors, they would only be accused of covering things up. Moreover, the people who spread the rumors in the beginning might be afraid that the Great Daoist Master would pursue the matter. However, the more the rumors spread, the more bold and unrestrained they are.”
Ling’e seemed to be in deep thought.
Li Changshou sighed. “That’s the most troublesome
thing.”
“Senior Brother, are we not going to do anything?” “The Great Daoist Master is naturally carefree. His Dao Realm is extremely profound and he is humble. He has obtained the true teachings of the Grand Pure One. He is also a role model that I have been learning and trying to catch up to.” Li Changshou said seriously, “I think the Great Daoist Master will not be angry over such a small matter. After a few months, everything will be fine.” Ling’e was about to answer when she heard a chuckle from outside the door.
A gentle ripple appeared in the air as a short figure stepped out.
“Your spiritual senses have been getting sharper recently. When did you discover my presence? You made it sound so exaggerated. I almost believed you when you said that.”
