My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 117 Sigh, My Relationship Has Turned Sour

What else did I miss?

The more he felt that he could relax, the more he could not let his guard down.

Li Changshou stood by the lake and pondered.

Seven days had passed since Daoist Kuai Si left the mountain. It’s quiet at Little Qiong Peak again.

Youqin Xuanya still has to go into seclusion to cultivate after all. She would not come here from today onwards.

Moreover, she had been at Little Qiong Peak for a long time. She had witnessed me and Master staying in the mountain for the past few days. That’s enough.

Li Changshou had to hold back.

At that moment, he was an inferior immortal seedling in the sect. If something happened to a Perfected Immortal, he would naturally not be a suspect.

However, in the future, once his true cultivation level was exposed, the Immortal Downpour Peak could very likely link Li Changshou, who had concealed his own abilities, to Kuai Si’s disappearance since Qi Yuan had a feud with the latter...

Youqin Xuanya was a very righteous Qi Refinement cultivator. There was a high chance that she would step forward and clarify that matter.

By then, the truth would be blurred and he would have more opportunities to deal with

it.

At that moment, someone at the Immortal Downpour Peak realized that they could not contact Daoist Kuai Si. They suspected that something had happened to him.

A few Perfected Immortals of the same generation as Kuai Si had already gone out to search for him.

If they could not find any clues left behind by Li Changshou, that would be fine.

If they did, he would be led to the vast North Continent. Li Changshou would not know what would happen next.

In any case, the paper Daoist who was disguised as Kuai Si had already found a crack in the bottom of a valley and lit up a ball of True Samadhi Flames for himself before returning to the void.

So far, apart from the Tribulation Transcendence and the trivial matters of his daily life, Li Changshou had only taken the initiative to plan two major matters.

The first was when he went to the North Continent to help his master find some herbs for his Tribulation Transcendence. He had prepared for more than ten years.

The second time, which was the matter regarding Kuai Si, had also taken him more than ten years to prepare,

The matter regarding the Sea God Sect was not a big deal. It was purely a coincidence that rendered him helpless, forced him to fight back, and earn merit while pushing the blame to others...

It would be best if he stayed put in the mountain if he did not want to be embroiled with any karma.

However, the big black turtle in the North Continent back then did not do anything and yet, trouble fell from the sky. All four of its limbs were chopped off by the Saint to support the world.

Li Changshou did not dare to include that story in the Steadiness Sutra.

Therefore, when he was secretly cultivating in the mountains, he had to do his best to protect himself. It was also necessary for him to make sure that he did not look like he had any special traits, and that he had prepared well enough to flee for his life.

Li Changshou went into seclusion in the straw hut and observed the reaction of the people in the Immortal Downpour Peak.

Even though he had the ability to face the elders of the peak head-on, the support he received from the Immortal Du Sect had finally stabilized and he had become a recognized disciple. He did not want to lose that backing.

When he searched Daoist Kuai Si’s soul, Li Changshou also saw the elder who had stood behind Daoist Kuai Si and humiliated his master and aunt-master was.

He was Daoist Kuai Si’s master, an elder from the Immortal Downpour Peak who was at the early-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

It was precisely because of that person that Daoist Kuai Si, who had launched a sneak attack on Qi Yuan, did not receive the punishment that he should have according to the sect rules. That caused Little Qiong Peak to be completely alienated.

Li Changshou kept it in mind.

If he had the chance to add insult to injury to that Heaven Immortal Elder in the future, he would definitely sneak up and throw Little Qiong Peak at him...

The bamboo slip that he had previously used to pen down the matters about Daoist Kuai Si had already disappeared from the Pill Furnace. Half a month later, the Immortal Forest Peak was in chaos.

Originally, it was common for a Perfected Immortal to go out and not return for more than a hundred days.

However, before Daoist Kuai Si left, he said that he was going to get some Dharma treasures that his disciple could use during the sect competition. However, after such a long time, there was no news from him. They could not even contact him using the communication jade token...

There was an elder who was good at divination. When the divination was being carried out, the turtle shell shattered...

Kuai Si’s Dao companion knew many things about him, so she led her subordinates to the town to investigate. Following the clues, she was led to the border of the North Continent.

Another month later, the people of the Immortal Downpour Peak were almost certain that Kuai Si had died, and that the reason for his death was because he had fought with someone outside the town.

Such matters were common in the Primordial World.

The elders of the Immortal Du Sect had also worked together to make a deduction. They could only deduce the day that Kuai Si had died and there was no other information.

There was no other choice.

If there was a clear enemy, the people Immortal Du Sect would stand up and seek an explanation for the member of their sect.

However, there were no traces of his enemies. He did not leave any useful clues behind. The Immortal Du Sect could only comfort Daoist Kuai Si’s Dao companion and disciples.

They arranged for another Perfected Immortal to help him teach Kuai Si’s disciples and helped his Dao companion find another Dao companion...

Ahem, that would depend on one’s will.

As for the master of Little Qiong Peak and his two disciples, they did not have any presence in that matter.

Li Changshou observed quietly for a year and temporarily put that matter aside. As for the evil deeds that Daoist Kuai Si had done, Li Changshou could not be bothered to mention them.

He was not like his toxic junior sister. He did not have such a strong sense of justice.

Being able to live with his conscience was enough for him.

The various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect were also bustling with activity. The internal sect competition for the younger generation would be held in advance, and all disciples had to take part.

The immortals of the older generation had also come out of seclusion one after another to teach the younger generation how to fight.

The masters also got busy with their own tasks. They would reward their disciples with some Dharma treasures that they no longer needed and teach them how to adapt and react during fights.

Some of the disciples who were not considered competent were inspired by the battle between the terrible immortal seedling of Little Qiong Peak and the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace. They began to strengthen their escape techniques.

However, most of them had one question...

Why was their Earth Escape so stiff?

It was very troublesome for them to get in and out of the ground. It was not as smooth and natural as when Senior Brother Li (Junior Brother) raised his spiked mace.

That was probably an issue of talent and temperament.

The date of the competition was approaching.

Li Changshou had been refining pills for several months. He had made use of the paper effigies to make money by making them go out twice. Finally, he had replenished the inventory of his poisonous pills.

On this day, he and Lan Ling’e had a discussion and started working together. They killed two chickens with colorful feathers, killed two snakeheads, cooked a pot of jade frogs, and whipped up a few stir-fried immortal spirit vegetable dishes, which would be paired with two bottles of fine wine. They set up a table in Li Changshou’s straw hut...

Although Ling’e did not know why her senior brother suddenly wanted to throw such a feast since there was nothing worth celebrating in the mountain, she naturally gave her all to help because she wanted to make her master walk out of seclusion early and cheer up.

After being busy for half a day, the pair stood in front of their master’s straw hut.

Li Changshou said loudly, “Master, there’s still another year to go before the internal sect competition. Do you want to give us pointers for the technical fight?”.

There was no reply from the straw hut.

S

no

Hence, Lan Ling’e, who was at the side, cleared her throat and shouted, “Ah... Senior Brother, don’t be like this! We haven’t gotten Master’s approval yet, so we can’t!”

“Hey! Rebellious disciples, stop! You guys are turning yourselves into laughing stocks. You have to go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to register first!”

With a clang, the door of the straw hut was kicked open. Qi Yuan raised his horsetail whisk and rushed out with some remnant enlightenment Dao runes.

Upon sight of the two disciples who were standing in front of him, the old Daoist priest laughed bitterly and cursed, “How can you joke around with such things? It concerns your pride!”

“Hehe.” Ling’e quickly grimaced. “Master! Come and try it. I colluded with Senior Brother. No, we worked together to whip up a table full of delicious dishes!”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I also brewed two bottles of fine wine recently.”

The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan sighed softly and looked disappointed. He looked into the distance and his gray hair fluttered slightly.

“My heart is already dead. I will be by your side for the rest of my life. The dishes and wine are superb. You, young people, take your time to taste them... Sigh, Changshou, I have come to a realization recently.”

“Master, tell me.” Li Changshou listened attentively.

Qi Yuan said, “Cherish the people in front of you. Don’t talk about the future. The weather is unpredictable. Who can say if it’s a blessing or misfortune?”

At the side, Ling’e blinked slightly. She pursed her lips and stole a glance at her senior brother. Her face was slightly red.

She was the type to say one thing and mean another.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I will remember this. Master, don’t worry. I will definitely protect Junior Sister well.”

“That’s good.” Qi Yuan waved his hand. “You’re more capable than me. You and Ling’e can decide on your own regarding the internal competition.

“I will continue to cultivate in seclusion. You should enter the Perfected Immortal realm as soon as possible and do what you previously mentioned. In the future, I’ll look forward to the two of you doing well.”

After saying that, Qi Yuan turned around and returned to the straw hut. His back view was slightly bleak, and he seemed to be singing...

“The snowflakes flutter, the north wind blows...”

The wooden door of the straw hut was closed, and the array formation was activated once again.

Li Changshou and Ling’e looked at each other worriedly.

Ling’e asked softly, “Senior Brother, what should we do about this?”

Li Changshou shook his head and felt relieved.

To his master, his relationship with Aunt-master was not just a tragic romance, but also a thorn in his heart and an obsession.

Fortunately, he chose not to tell his master the truth. Otherwise, his master’s current state of mind would probably be like— “After the mountains are empty and the rain pours again, I’ll hang myself on a tree branch in the Southeast”...

“Tsk, it’s hard.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. He did not have a good plan for now. Ling’e sighed and said, “Love is really torturous.” “No.” Li Changshou shook his head and said calmly, “What you see now is not what you see. The most torturous thing is not being in love but someone who is stirring trouble secretly... Forget it, I can’t say much about that. When your cultivation level is higher in the future and you come into contact with the Inaction Sutra, you will understand.”

Ling’e blinked in confusion.

Li Changshou waved his hand and said, “You can’t waste the food that we’ve made. Make a few more dishes. I’ll go to Heaven-Breaking Peak to invite Little Aunt-Master and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Bring the food to the Pill Chamber.”

“Yes!” Ling’e agreed obediently.

“Cook two more fishes and prepare a food container. I’ll be visiting Elder Wan Linyun later.”

“I, Little Qiong Peak’s, female cook, will obey your orders!”

“Female cook? You don’t even know what an apron is.”

Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed Ling’e’s head. He rode a cloud and flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

On the other hand, Ling’e continued to think about how to help her master get out of his current state of mind. She went to the kitchen beside the lake to continue cooking...

How can I help Master?

Ling’e recalled her memories in the mountain. Her heart was filled with the

ws of her senior brother, so she did not have much that she could take reference from for that matter.

She recalled the situation in her mortal family. She vaguely remembered that when she was younger, her mother and stepmother had a discussion. That time, it was the death of the spouse of one of her uncles who was a general. He was heartbroken...

Then, her mother and stepmother introduced him to a beautiful lady. In less than two months... that uncle of hers held another wedding banquet.

The moral of that story was-Men are all playboys who love new things and dislike old things. You have to keep an eye on them.

However, she could use that method for her master.

Ling’e blinked and began to think carefully. She was prepared to mention the solution to her senior brother later.

She did not dare to make any random arrangements. She did not want to be punished and made to copy the Steadiness Sutra a few thousand times.

On Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou flew all the way to Immortal Jiu Jiu’s residence. Before he descended from the cloud, he saw a big scene.

He was not the only one. A few disciples who were in charge of miscellaneous tasks, Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, and a few Jiu Immortals who appeared during the battle at the Immortal Du Sect were also secretly observing Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s residence...

He heard...

“If you have someone else in your heart, say it! I. Jiu Shi, won’t pester you anymore!”

After that, Jiu Shi flew out of the pavilion, covered her nose and mouth, and hurriedly flew away. Li Changshou was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly.

Uh, due to the fact that he had heard about Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu and had been busy keeping an eye on the Immortal Downpour Peak, he did not give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu the Poisonous Dragon Wine.

At that time, he had thought that the formula for the Poison Dragon Wine had already been given to Jiu Wu and Jiu Jiu. He did not expect that there would be a problem...

Li Changshou landed in front of Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s pavilion and said, “I have something to say to you, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.”

“Changshou.” A sigh came from inside. “Come in.”

Li Changshou walked in and saw the items that had been thrown on the ground. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu activated the array formation around the attic.

“What is it?”

Li Changshou asked softly, “Uncle-Master, what happened?”

Jiu Wu sat at the side. He supported his forehead with one hand and slowly exhaled...

He sighed and said, “Ah, my relationship has turned sour.”
