Chapter 390 - A Little Wine Feast (1/2)
“Hahahaha! It’s rare to see Randeng suffer. Why is my Dao heart so comfortable!?!”
“This lamp doesn’t have any powerful mystical abilities, but that lamp is indeed extraordinary.”
In a restaurant in a town in the East Continent, Zhao Gongming was stroking his beard and laughing. The armor on his body was trembling. The three of them sat at the round table in the middle of the s.p.a.cious suite. However, there were three completely different styles.
Kong Xuan was untainted and proud in the mortal world. He was like a living being that walked out of the Chaos Sea before the Chaos developed and the Primordial Chaos was set. He had a holy and indifferent vibe.
Master Zhao was still as heroic as ever. At that moment, he was in a good mood and kept smiling. He gave people an inexplicable sense of joy. Li Changshou’s paper effigy sat at the side. His white robe and white hair emitted a faint white glow. If someone looked at it, they would seem to be able to understand the “everything” of the ordinary G.o.ds of power in the Heavenly Courts. However, when they came to their senses, they felt that it was a vast ocean that was unfathomable…
The three of them drank and chatted there. They naturally used their great mystical abilities to conceal the heavenly secrets so that others would not hear their conversation.
Kong Xuan asked, “Could it be that this Randeng is not welcomed in the Dao Sect?”
“More or less.” Zhao Gongming clicked his tongue. “Originally, our Jie School and Chan School had different ideals for taking in disciples because Master and Second Uncle-Master had different ideals. Moreover, the few eldest disciples had acc.u.mulated some grudges and often had conflicts. Every time there’s a small matter, this Randeng would add fuel to fire and exaggerate things, causing us to suffer a lot.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “On the surface, Randeng’s actions seem to be suppressing Jie School, but in fact, it has deepened the conflict between us. As a result, someone from the three sects stood up and held a Three Sects’ Meet in order to prevent the Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent from fighting each other. They used this opportunity to repair the cracks between the three sects. Unfortunately, he could not treat the root of the problem… At the end of the day, there is a conflict of ideals.”
Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “Someone long ago a.s.serted that there would definitely be a huge battle between Chan School and Jie School. However, I don’t know how to make up for it.” “Isn’t there a Water G.o.d?”
Kong Xuan raised his chin at Li Changshou. Zhao Gongming could not help but laugh. Li Changshou said seriously, “I can only do my best. Moreover, Ren School has always pursued peace and quietness. We cannot be involved in karma.”
“I taught Randeng a lesson today. There must be some senior brothers and junior brothers of Chan School who have some complaints about that.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. “I’m afraid that they will think that they have joined forces and are deliberately excluding Chan School. Brother, what do you think we should do?” “Actually, it won’t be too serious,” Li Changshou said. “I have many positions in Jie School. Everyone in Chan School knows that. Later, I’ll ask Senior Brother Xuan Du to come out of seclusion and visit Senior Brother Guang Chengzi in the Jade Void Palace. This matter can be resolved.” Kong Xuan suddenly asked, “When will he go?” “That will depend on Senior Brother Xuan Du’s
arrangements…”
“Nothing, I was just asking casually.” Kong Xuan replied calmly. Then, he picked up the immortal wine that he did not even look at previously and took a sip. Li Changshou calmly changed the topic and asked Zhao Gongming, “Brother, aren’t you accompanying someone outside? Why are you back so soon?” Zhao Gongming’s expression turned gloomy when he heard that. He wanted to smile, but halfway through, his smile turned into a long sigh. “The matters between men and women are indeed a thousand times more troublesome than cultivation. Sigh…” Kong Xuan could not help but be interested as he listened carefully. He was purely curious. Li Changshou thought to himself, ‘I knew that this would happen.’ He frowned and pondered. He said warmly, “Brother, what’s wrong? If there’s anything troubling you, feel free to tell me.” Zhao Gongming shook his head and raised his head to take a sip of the immortal wine that Li Changshou had taken out. He remained silent. Changshou’s small cla.s.s: When you see your friend revealing such a sad expression under such circ.u.mstances and taking the initiative to make a conclusion, it is not that the other party does not want to talk about it. Instead, he just wants to receive more attention before he speaks. Under the pretentious silence, there is a hidden desire to pour out his heart like a tsunami! Li Changshou asked in concern, “What happened to you, Brother? Did you have an argument with the G.o.ddess of Golden Light?”. Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly and looked at the wine gla.s.s in front of him. “I don’t know how to tell others now, but Junior Sister Jinguang and I… are indeed not suitable to be Dao companions. If this matter were to spread, it would inevitably affect Junior Sister Jinguang’s reputation.”
He sighed.
Kong Xuan said, “Why should we care about what others say? The living beings of our generation can just cultivate and comprehend the Great Dao.”
“Fellow Daoist, your words are a little biased. No one can completely ignore the criticisms of others.” Li Changshou raised an example at the side. “If someone were to spread the false news that Senior Brother Xuan Du and a certain fairy have become Dao companions…”
“Hmph!”
Kong Xuan said coldly, “I’ll see who dares to create rumors and create trouble behind his back! I’ll make sure that he dies!”
“Look, that’s it.” Li Changshou spread his hands and said, “What I care about is how the people of Jie School will view this matter. It’s the same as how you care about Senior Brother Xuan Du. It’s just that different people pay attention to different things.” Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and quickly nodded. He smiled and said, “I’m indeed inexperienced.” Zhao Gongming said proudly, “In terms of how to deal with the world, no disciple in the Dao Sect can compare to my brother!” Kong Xuan strongly agreed with that. He raised his cup and drank with Zhao Gongming. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Is that a good thing?
Alright, at least it’s better than being experienced and cunning After drinking a cup of wine, Zhao Gongming began to talk. He explained in detail what had happened during his travels with the G.o.ddess of Golden Light.
According to Zhao Gongming, the atmosphere was always strange when he interacted with Junior Sister Golden Light.
The two of them could not find a suitable topic. They had to rely on the G.o.ddess of Golden Light’s “pa.s.sion” and “initiative” towards Zhao Gongming to maintain their intimacy.
Zhao Gongming had also tried to find some interesting things to chat about. However, he stopped after a few words…
They had gone to a few Sectors to sightsee. If they encountered beautiful places, they would stay there for a few days. If they walked and stopped, the outcome would be… “I feel a little tired.”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head. “Junior Sister Golden Light and I have tried to separate from each other for a few months to see if we have anything to say to each other. However, when we meet again, we can’t help but feel awkward when we talk.”
Zhao Gongming sighed and said in a low voice, “I feel that it’s better to spend more time with you than with Junior Sister Golden Light.”
Li Changshou silently picked up the stool and moved to the side.
“Brother, please respect yourself.” “Ah! I’m just giving an example!” Zhao Gongming scolded with a smile. Kong Xuan tilted his head and asked in puzzlement, “What do you mean? Why do you have to be self-respecting?”
“Hahaha!”
Zhao Gongming was amused. He stroked his beard and laughed. He explained briefly about the legends of the Pure Yang Daoist and Daoist Chong Yang that were circulated in the Primordial World.
