Chapter 423 - Time Management (2/2)
The celebration was not worth celebrating. It was just a head-on clash with the demons. There might be more friction in the future.
The Grandmaster of Heaven had already deduced the Dao Sect’s calamity. He reckoned that the Grandmaster of the Western Sect had also deduced that the Western Sect should restrain their sharpness and wait for the calamity to descend. Of course, if they deduced enough information, they might continue to take on the old path and intensify the conflict between the two sects.
Randeng and the other traitors became important chess pieces… What do I need to do now?
Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and opened a memorial. He looked at the “Twelve Deadly Sins of the Demon Court” written on it and carefully reviewed it.
It was enough to kill Daoist Lu Ya in the name of righteousness.
As one of the three observational experiments, if Daoist Lu Ya was really killed before the Great Tribulation arrived, the Great G.o.d-Conferment Scriptures would definitely change. He was afraid that the Heavenly Dao would choose another person or a few people to fill in the role of Daoist Lu Ya…
After putting away the memorial, Li Changshou was about to take a walk in the courtyard when his immortal senses captured the little fairy who was riding a cloud outside the Water G.o.d Residence. It was Long Ji, who had been “guarding” the Jade Pool.
He thought, ‘Judging from the smile on her face, she should be here to celebrate.’
At that moment, in the courtyard of the Water G.o.d Residence, a few Heavenly Generals shouted out the spiritual pearl. According to the rules set by Li Changshou, they would spar with the spiritual pearl every few days. The changes in Ling Zhuzi… could be said to be very minor.
At that moment, she was wearing a long robe. There was a hint of antic.i.p.ation on her delicate face. At least, she was no longer shy.
Uh…
The image of Long Ji and Ling Zhuzi standing together appeared in Li Changshou’s mind. He pondered carefully and shook his head.
It really did not match. “Teacher!”
Just as he was thinking about that, the young girl in a short skirt had already gracefully landed in front of Li Changshou. She cupped her fists and bowed. “I’m here to congratulate you!” Her short skirt today was quite unique. From the bottom up, it looked like the sunset was approaching from afar. There was a gradual change. Li Changshou sized her up. Long Ji’s face was slightly red, but she stood on her tiptoes and said happily, “Teacher is really impressive this time. You destroyed so many elites of the demon race! If Father returns, I wonder how he will reward Teacher!” Li Changshou said seriously, “This technique should be used by the soldiers of the Heavenly Courts to fight. Don’t spout nonsense.”
“Oh.” Long Ji stuck out the tip of her tongue. “Teacher, what are you looking at… Uh, that girl is so delicate and pretty. Is she a disciple who cultivated with Teacher?” Li Changshou almost laughed out loud. He said, “He’s Ling Zhuzi, a disciple of an expert of Chan School, Perfected Taiyi. He came to stay with me for a while. Don’t be too close to him.” “Yes, I will follow Teacher’s instructions.” Long Ji frowned slightly and pondered carefully. She added a few hundred words in her heart and a.n.a.lyzed why Li Changshou told her not to be too close to Ling Zhuzi.
Could it be that Teacher is afraid that I have some feelings for Ling Zhuzi… Long Ji blushed and looked at Li Changshou eagerly. It was rare for Li Changshou to misunderstand. He said seriously, “Don’t think too much. Ling Zhuzi came here to complete the cultivation path that allows you to have more masculine energy. At the current stage, he can’t have too much contact with women. At the next stage, I will ask you to help when I need a weak woman to trigger his desire to protect and take responsibility.”
Long Ji did not understand and nodded in a daze.
Li Changshou smiled warmly and let Long Ji enter the house. He began to inspect the homework that he had given her previously. That gave Long Ji a headache and she complained incessantly.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were not at home. Li Changshou did not dare to relax about teaching Long Ji.
At the same time, Li Changshou had to keep an eye on Long Ji so that she would not be schemed against. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to the Jade Emperor.
It was within the scope of authority for ordinary ministers of the Heavenly Courts to worry about the Jade Emperor’s family matters. After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou realized that he had indeed interfered too much. After being disrupted by Daoist Lu Ya’s denunciation of the heavens, he was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as he was at the beginning of his vacation.
He did not have to worry about the trivial matters of the Heavenly Courts. General Dongmu would deal with them himself. However, General Dongmu would rush over to discuss matters related to the demons with him. At the same time, he had to pay attention to the North Continent and monitor the movements of the demons at all times. At the same time, he had to record some of the experts hiding in the demons. Apart from that, Li Changshou also had to be responsible for communicating with the dragon race and the Netherworld. He had to pay attention to the situation of a black leopard living alone after it was “dumped”. He had to tutor his junior sister who was about to go out to train…
Cultivation was also the most important. No matter how busy he was, he still had to gain enlightenment. Otherwise, how could he surpa.s.s the older generation?
“It does not depend on how much time you have. It depends on how you distribute it.” Li Changshou was busy and could even refine pills, drink tea, cook, and write letters to Fairy Yun Xiao. When he was free, he would tease her. Occasionally, he would go to the chess room to relax and lose some Spirit Stones and Spirit Wine. In the blink of an eye, another ten years pa.s.sed.
The demons did not make any big moves. Li Changshou did not notice the pa.s.sage of time. On the day that he and Ling’e agreed to go down the mountain, he rushed over.
That day, Li Changshou strolled to Ling’e’s straw hut with his hands behind his back.
In order to express his respect for his junior sister, he specially used his main body and changed into a brand new Daoist robe. “Ahem! It’s time. Pack up and get ready to go!” Uh, why does that sound a little ominous?
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng in the room. Ling’e shouted, as if something had happened. The straw hut fell silent. Li Changshou waited calmly. He did not extend his immortal senses into the array. However, after waiting for a while, he saw a few drops of water dripping from the wooden plank, mixed with traces of blood…
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“I’ll go in if you don’t come out.” Li Changshou took two steps forward. “Senior Brother, don’t! I’m not wearing any clothes… Senior Brother, I seem to have… Ahem, I’ve become crazy… Ah, my heart hurts…” Li Changshou shook his head in disappointment and turned around to leave. He said, “Suit yourself.” The straw hut fell silent again. The owner of the straw hut blinked. The script seemed to be different from what she had planned.
Are you really not coming in?
Li Changshou counted silently in his heart, from one to thirty-six. Just as he walked under the willow tree, the window of the straw hut was pulled open. Ling’e stuck her head out and hurriedly shouted, “Senior Brother! I’m done!”
Li Changshou turned around and cursed with a black face, “Are you not going crazy?” “Hehe.” Ling’e made a face. “I had a wrong feeling. It was just a fork in the air just now…”
Li Changshou sighed.
Ever since Fairy Yun Xiao’s visit, Ling’e had been acting as if she had found a backer. His prestige as her Senior Brother was greatly reduced. He had to take advantage of this experience to suppress her. Otherwise… Wouldn’t he be in trouble in the future?
