Chapter 378 The First Spring of the Pure Yang Withered Wood
Is the Qing Qiu Clan so bold? In the Immortal Du Hall, the shy words of the vixen made the elders in the sect exclaim in their hearts. On the other hand, the dozen or so experts of the Qing Qiu Clan were all smiling, as if… they were proud?
That was probably the talent of the race. Ling’e stood up with a faint smile and bowed to the fox girl. “Senior, please sit with me… My master is focused on cultivation and is not good at dealing with such situations. Senior, please take note of my master’s clean reputation.”
As she spoke, Ling’e put on a stern expression and calmly sat in the back seat. Her cultivation level was already at the Heaven Immortal realm, and she was the fastest person in the history of the Immortal Du Sect! At that moment, even if she scolded the Qing Qiu Clan, the Immortal Du Sect would definitely support her.
Ling’e’s actions were not purely out of impulse. She had a few considerations.
The most important thing was to use this opportunity to directly express the att.i.tude that the master and disciples of the Little Qiong Peak had towards the vixens. It would allow the upper echelons of the Immortal Du Sect to have a good idea of what to do and not arrange marriages for their Peak Leader.
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. The vixen pursed her lips and thanked Ling’e. She lowered her head and sat in Ling’e’s original seat. Then, the vixen moved closer to Li Changshou and looked at the old Daoist priest beside her. He looked at her affectionately.
Ling’e pursed her lips and muttered in her heart, “Fairy Yun Xiao, come and take a look. Someone has a bold idea for my senior brother!” “Daoist Priest…”
The vixen called softly. Her body almost collapsed on the short table. She supported her face with her slender hand and looked at Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Li Changshou reacted according to the way his master usually would. At first, he revealed a forced and embarra.s.sed smile. Then, he looked ahead and focused on listening to the people from the Immortal Du Sect and the Qing Qiu Clan.
Half of what happened today was caused by Li Changshou. The last time Li Changshou had scolded demons in the Immortal Du Sect, he had used the Qing Qiu Clan as an example. He had even described the Qing Qiu Clan as a race that pursued love and equality to support his point of view. This matter was widely spread in the Primordial World. It was regarded as a cla.s.sic way to scold demons!
However, he did not expect that the Qing Qiu Clan would take it seriously…
The Qing Qiu Clan really thought that the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d, who had the backing of Ren School, was very impressed by them! This time, they had come to the Immortal Du Sect to give gifts mainly because they wanted to establish a connection with the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d. At the same time, they wanted to build a strong and s.p.a.cious sect like Ren School… For that, the Qing Qiu Clan thought of a brilliant idea to kill two birds with one stone. “Sect Leader Wuyou.” The old woman with the strongest aura smiled and said, “How about I become in-laws with your Immortal Du Sect?”
Ji Wuyou, who was drinking tea, could not help but cough again. Are all demons so bold and straightforward?
If Ling’e had said those words before, perhaps Sect Leader Ji Wuyou would have nodded and agreed.
But now…
“Fellow Daoist, you must be joking.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “The Immortal Du Sect is a place for cultivation outside the world. How can there be a marriage? Moreover, the Ren School adheres to the principle of maintaining peace and quietness. We cannot force the Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect to do anything that goes against their conscience.” “How can this be considered coercion? How does it go against your conscience?” A wealthy-looking old demon smiled and said, “Look at Xiao Lan of our Qing Qiu clan. She has already made up her mind.”
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing frowned slightly. He looked at the situation and said calmly, “However, the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect do not have any thoughts about the members of your Qing Qiu Clan.”
The old man said, “Isn’t that just a matter that can be settled after getting to know each other for ten days or half a month!?!”
“You can’t say that.” A Grand Elder of the Immortal Du Sect said, “The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect cultivate their hearts and minds. When it comes to romance…”
The elder’s tone weakened.
“They all have their own opinions.”
Li Changshou was amused when he heard that. However, he still looked a little nervous and did not reveal any flaws. The two sides began to calm down and stopped replying each other harshly. The fox demon, Xiao Lan, looked intently at Li Changshou’s side profile as if no one was around. From time to time, she would reveal a gentle smile…
It was as if that moment was enough.
How should I deal with this matter?
Li Changshou used his immortal senses to look at his master, who was sound asleep on the Little Qiong Peak, and then at the vixen.
At that moment, Master was at the end of his relations.h.i.+p. It would be easy for the vixen to take advantage of him… Putting aside whether his master could take it or not, what would happen to him and Ling’e if the Little Qiong Peak had a fox girl as their master’s wife?
The answer was no.
If she wanted to marry into the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou would definitely bury something in her soul. Just a Heavenly Dao oath was not safe.
“Qi Yuan… Qi Yuan…”
The vixen hurriedly said, “Daoist Priest, say something.” “Oh.” Li Changshou pretended to be in a daze and immediately looked at the Sect Leader who was calling him. He stood up, lowered his head, and walked away from the short table. At that moment, he had acted like a stubborn Turbid Immortal who cared about etiquette! “I was thinking about something just now. Please forgive me, Sect Leader.” “Qi Yuan, bring Fellow Daoist Lan around the mountain first. Come back to the hall in half a day and give us an answer.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything or consider anything else. You can decide for yourself. If you can’t make up your mind, go and discuss it with your disciple.”
Half a day…
The Immortal Du Sect gave Qing Qiu some face and allowed Qi Yuan to spend half a day alone with Qing Qiu Lan. They wanted to see if Qing Qiu Lan could move Qi Yuan.
Six hours was neither long nor short. It would prevent them from developing feelings for each other after spending too much time togethe and would also allow them to understand each other. Li Changshou turned around and made an inviting gesture.
The fox girl at the side became nervous. She stood up gently and bowed to Li Changshou. Then, she lowered her head and followed the old Daoist priest Qi Yuan out of the Immortal Du Hall.
Ling’e and Jiu Jiu were about to follow when an old woman from the Immortal Du Sect stopped them with a smile
“Don’t worry. It’s impossible for her to hurt your master in our sect.” Lingle and Jiu Jiu could only wait in the hall temporarily. The two of them were not worried about Li Changshou’s situation. Instead, they began to pity the Qing Qiu vixen who had found the wrong person from the beginning.
Some time pa.s.sed.
“Are you lost?”
Creak, creak… The wooden sign hanging on the tree branch swayed back and forth. The vixen could not help but pat her forehead in frustration. As soon as she left the Immortal Du Hall, she followed “Qi Yuan” to the Little Qiong Peak. She took a stroll in the forest with the person in her dream and inexplicably fell into the array formation alone…
She sighed softly. “Daoist Priest, are you not even willing to give me half a day of your time?” The vixen’s expression was rather sad. She stood there in silence for a while before suddenly coming to a realization.
“Daoist Priest, are you testing my understanding of array formations?” At that moment, the fox girl walked forward and searched everywhere. It was naturally difficult for her to escape the array formation.
In the straw hut by the lake, Li Changshou had already shaken his master awake. He helped his master sober up and shouted, “Master! The demons are attacking!” “What?!” Qi Yuan jumped up, picked up his horsetail whisk, and rushed towards the door. He shouted, “The time for me to sacrifice myself has finally come!” Li Changshou tilted his head. Why was that his master’s first reaction?
Qi Yuan rushed out of the house and realized that something was amiss. He turned around and glared at Li Changshou. “Where did the demons come from!?!”
“Master, look.” Li Changshou pointed at a cloud mirror and saw the situation in the trapping array. The enchanting vixen was searching for something. Qi Yuan naturally recognized the vixen. He frowned and whispered, “Disciple, why is she here again?” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and smiled. “Master, don’t be anxious. I’ll send someone to the Elder Moon Hall to ask about this matter and take a look at your marriage. This vixen seems to be determined about you, Master.” Qi Yuan sighed and said, “I’ll go and explain to her.” “This woman has been deeply intoxicated. She can’t be cured with words.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “Moreover, Master, if you enter the array directly, I’m worried that she will…”
“Why?”
“She might force you.” Qi Yuan could not help but raise his hand to press down on the collar of his Daoist robe. His face turned pale. “Your master has been innocent his entire life! He can’t!”
Li Changshou said, “Don’t worry. I’m here… Master, wait. I’ll take a look at your marriage.” Li Changshou paused and gestured for his master to calm down. He immediately closed his eyes and focused.
At the same time, the paper effigy of the Water G.o.d in the Heavenly Courts had already arrived at Elder Moon’s Hall of Marriage. He was warmly welcomed by Elder Moon… Li Changshou decided to use a simple excuse. Recently, the demons and Ren School have become enemies with the Heavenly Courts. I want to see if the disciples of Ren School have a marriage with the demons. If they do, it will be easier for me to plan in advance.
Why would Elder Moon not agree? Then, Elder Moon led the Water G.o.d to the rear hall and quickly summoned the clay figurines of the six immortal sects of Ren School.
There were more than ten pairs of Dao companions who were related to the demons. The most eye-catching ones were Qi Yuan, a Turbid Immortal from the Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, and Xiao Lan, a woman from the Qing Qiu Clan! At that moment, his master’s clay figurine only had one end. The end of the line corresponded to Jiu Yus.h.i.+’s clay figurine. The vixen Xiao Lan’s clay figurine, only had a red string. However, the red string was tied to Qi Yuan’s clay figurine’s waist. He even gave him a death penalty!
“This!”
