My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 221 The Little Reward of the Heavenly Dao’s Confusion

In Ling’e’s straw hut, the two of them moved two round chairs and sat side by side by the window, watching the old immortal couple under the willow tree by the lake.

Ling’e held two trays with her Dharma powers, which contained the dried fruits and snacks that her senior brother liked. Beside them, she even brewed some refreshing tea.

Li Changshou had made some arrangements outside Ling’e’s straw hut to prevent Exalted Wang Qing from discovering that the two of them were observing in the open.

Little Qiong Peak special observing team!

Xiong Lingli was currently busy opening up the new territory of the Spiritual beast enclosure. She did not know much about the matter and was not interested in it. Hence, she did not join in the fun.

Actually, it would not matter if Li Changshou did not make those arrangements...

The two of them only had eyes for each other. Why would they care about what happened next?

The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The breeze was gentle.

The willow branches were tender, making one’s heart flutter like the waves in the lake.

In that situation, Li Changshou’s poetic personality rose again. However, after thinking about it, he wisely chose to give up.

He decided not to embarrass himself in front of his junior sister.

Ling’e frowned slightly. She had some objections to her senior brother’s previous act of offering medicine to their Grandmaster.

“Senior Brother, isn’t it a little... inappropriate for us to help Grandmaster?”

Ling’e asked softly as she twirled a strand of hair around her fingers. “Of course it’s not appropriate,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Now that the two of them have developed to such a stage, any extra push will cause accidents. Exalted Wang Qing has a kind of... indescribable personality. If Little Grandmaster really uses such a method to succeed, how will the two of them face each other after the medicinal effects are dispelled?” Ling’e immediately felt conflicted and whispered, “If they are in love with each other, then it should be fine... That’s not right. There might be some unhappiness because of this if Exalted Wang Qing feels that he has been offended.”

She turned her head to the side and did not dare to look at her senior brother beside her. Her neck was flushed red. “Since that’s the case, Senior Brother... why did you give that thing to Little Grandmaster?” “Don’t worry, that’s fake.” “Huh?”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “Do you still remember that I once reprimanded you because of Wang Qi and Liu Yan’er?”

“Yes.” Ling’e nodded slightly and said aggrievedly, “Senior Brother, you were so fierce when you scolded me that time. It has been many years. How could I forget?”

“Haha,” Li Changshou chuckled and explained, “Liu Yan’er and Wang Qi are also in love. However, Liu Yan’er was still hesitant at that time. Love is not just about having a future just because you’re in love with each other. There are many other factors for consideration. The relationship between men and women is a topic that is often mentioned in the mortal world, because it is one of the three most important things for mortals. However, a person cannot only have feelings. They should have other aspects of life, such as their pursuit of cultivation. If he placed all his thoughts on a certain relationship, it would only cause the relationship to become more abnormal and burdensome. At last, it would end. It would be the same for Exalted Wang Qing. He might be wary of his Dao or his reputation in the sect... In short, it’s impossible to use force.”

Ling’e did not seem to understand. Her senior brother seemed to have answered her question, but he also did not seem to have answered her...

Her senior brother even took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. “But, Senior Brother... The main point now is that Grandmaster thought that that was some kind of medicine. If it doesn’t work, what will happen to Grandmaster?”

Li Changshou could not help but smile. He pinched an apricot stem and placed it in his mouth. He chewed slowly and said, “That will depend on Grandmaster’s choice. If Grandmaster were to express her thoughts first and let him know that they could improve their relationship further. After Exalted Wang Qing agrees and drinks the bottle of Yuan Nurturing Liquid, he would take a step forward even if he is fine. If Grandmaster does not express his thoughts and only secretly drugs him, Exalted Wang Qing would naturally be fine after drinking... In that case, we naturally do not have any karma.”

Ling’e said worriedly, “Grandmaster, what if you blame us?”

“If Grandmaster comes to question us, we just have to say that it is because Exalted Wang Qing has a high cultivation level. We will be able to handle it.”

Is it that complicated?

Ling’e, who was listening by the side, opened her mouth slightly. Her expression was slightly dazed.

It was just a choice of whether or not to use the drug. Why does Senior Brother have so many tricks up his sleeve...

Indeed, it was impossible to make arrangements for her senior brother using the same method.

On the other hand, Li Changshou paused and looked at Ling’e in disappointment. “The logic behind this is so simple. You actually failed to figure it out.”

“Senior Brother!”

Ling’e raised her hand and placed it in front of Li Changshou. She said in a low voice, “There’s no need to say anything else. I’ll copy the Steadiness Sutra five hundred times! I am willing to accept the punishment this time!”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and said, “I’m not punishing you. You have to watch and think more. You have to learn to see the essence of the problem through the surface...

There, Grandmaster has begun.”

Ling’e immediately perked up. She moved closer to Li Changshou and looked at the two people drinking under the willow tree.

Under the willow tree, Jiang Lin’er took out another wine pot after they finished a pot of wine, and gently winked at Exalted Wang Qing.

“Um... Do you want some more?”

“Sure.” Exalted Wang Qing smiled and nodded. Although his sentences were short, they carried a hint of gentleness.

Li Changshou could not help but shake his head.

Exalted Wang Qing was really blinded by the love between men and women. At that moment, Jiang Lin’er’s expression had betrayed her. However, Exalted Wang Qing did not notice anything unusual. As expected, being obsessed with beautiful women was just as scary as being hot-headed.

Jiang Lin’er held the pot of wine and hesitated a few times. Her expression was hesitant, but she still poured a glass of wine for him. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. She did not dare to look at him anymore, obviously feeling guilty. “What’s wrong?”

Exalted Wang Qing picked up the wine cup and asked gently, “Is there anything that’s hard for you to say?”

“Well, it’s nothing. Drink it!”

“Alright.” Exalted Wang Qing raised his cup and stared at Jiang Lin’er. According to Li Changshou’s estimation, Exalted Wang Qing should have had the “Gentle Gaze Effect” and “Forming Effects” automatically added to his eyes...

There was no need for a whitening effect. Although Little Grandmaster was extremely vicious, she was still fair-skinned and beautiful.

The wine glass was slowly delivered to the mouth of Exalted Wang Qing. He did not hesitate to taste it...

“Wait!”

Jiang Lin’er suddenly let out a soft cry. Exalted Wang Qing could not help but blink. There was confusion in his eyes.

“What happened?” “I! Nothing...” The corners of Jiang Lin’er’s mouth twitched slightly. She gritted her teeth and sighed. “Alright, I really can’t do this to you. I spiked the wine.”

Exalted Wang Qing frowned slightly.

Jiang Lin’er lowered her head, pursed her lips, and blinked. She said in a low voice, “I feel that it has been more than ten years since the two of us have reconciled. We should be... taking another step forward... Let’s take the few steps that we did not take back then...”

She raised her hand and adjusted her hair by her ear. Her voice became softer and softer. In the end, she only said, “You understand, right?”

Exalted Wang Qing smiled and asked, “What medicine is this?”

“Some Love Water that I got.” Jiang Lin’er was loyal and did not betray her little grand-disciple. She raised her hand and gave him a thumbs-up before continuing, “I heard that the effect is very strong!”

Exalted Wang Qing could not help but laugh. He raised the wine cup in his hand and drank it in one gulp while Jiang Lin’er cried softly.

“Hey!”

“Ahem.” Exalted Wang Qing put down his cup and looked at Jiang Lin’er affectionately.

“Lin’er, I’m not good at this Dao. I only know how to cultivate. Many times, I can’t show perfect concern about you. What should I do next? Can you teach me?”

“This... This...”

Jiang Lin’er’s face turned red. She hesitated for a while. “I don’t know about that... Perhaps, we should wait for the medicine to take effect...”

“Okay.”

Exalted Wang Qing nodded solemnly. Then, the two of them sat under the willow tree. Their eyes met and they waited quietly.

A few moments later...

“Why don’t you drink more?”

Jiang Lin’er asked weakly.

Exalted Wang Qing rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. He nodded slowly and grabbed the wine pot. Then, he poured himself another cup of wine.

After a while...

“Do you feel anything?” Jiang Lin’er asked, puzzled.

The man frowned even more. He picked up the wine pot and drank it in one gulp. The wine pot landed and their eyes met.

Jiang Lin’er’s face was flushed red. However, she was extremely serious. She sat cross-legged and tried her best to find the medicinal effects.

After an hour... the two of them looked at each other under the tree. Exalted Wang Qing had already closed his eyes to check if there was... something wrong with his body.

“Psht!”

In the straw hut, Ling’e could not help but laugh out loud. She covered her mouth with her hand and curled into a ball in the chair, trembling nonstop.

Beside him, Li Changshou was speechless. He stared at the old immortal couple under the tree.

W-What the hell?

Does Exalted Wang Qing really not understand anything about this at all?

Could it be that Exalted Wang Qing had been focused on cultivation all this time and had never done anything wrong? Did he not even use his immortal senses to scan the Dao companions with low cultivation levels in the sect?

How could that be possible!

However...

The expression and gaze of Exalted Wang Qing...

He could feel that Exalted Wang Qing was trying his best to circulate his immortal powers and search for the non-existent medicinal effects of the Love Water...

Li Changshou really could not imagine that he was an old immortal who could produce five pairs of Dao companions among nine disciples!

Great Daoist Master, how should I tell Exalted Wang Qing that he won’t have a baby just by holding hands?

Li Changshou could not help but groan. He felt a little helpless about the current situation...

It was impossible for him to send a voice transmission and guide him in secret. The karma involved was too great.

Exalted Wang Qing left Little Qiong Peak at dusk. Jiang Lin’er rushed to the hiding place of Li Changshou and Ling’e aggressively.

Li Changshou naturally could not say that he had given her some fake medicine. He smiled and explained that perhaps it was because Exalted Wang Qing’s cultivation level was too high, and the pill he refined as a disciple was not effective enough.

Jiang Lin’er thought about it carefully and found that it made sense.

She sighed softly and laid on Ling’e’s bed.

Then, she thought that lying on the ground was very disadvantageous to her so she turned around.

The so-called Primordial World Salted Fish probably meant something like her.

Li Changshou asked, “Grandmaster, what do you want to do next? Since you’ve already confirmed the feelings of Exalted Wang Qing, you might as well take the chance to pursue him. It’s best not to delay this matter.”

“Sigh, how can I take advantage of victory to pursue him?” Jiang Lin’er replied weakly. “As a woman, I can’t take the initiative to teach him such things. Besides, I’m... nothing much...

Ah! Forget it!

The more we talk about it, the more chaotic it gets. Let’s just leave it like that!”

Li Changshou seemed like he wanted to say something but he stopped himself. He decided to start from Exalted Wang Qing. He bowed to his grandmaster with a Dao salute and left.

As night fell, Li Changshou flew back to the Pill Chamber on a cloud and kept thinking about that matter.

He had a few... academic problems.

Li Changshou focused his attention on the paper effigy in the Dragon Palace’s wedding banquet. He opened his eyes and looked at Elder Moon.

The marriage between the heavens and earth was all under that old man’s control. He had to ask if Elder Moon had any ‘knowledge-gaining’ techniques!

In the end, Elder Moon was stunned when he heard the voice transmission.

“Fellow Daoist Sea God,” Elder Moon replied. “I’m only a little immortal who’s focused on setting couples up. I’m not in charge of what happens after I set them up. How can I teach such a major thing like the reproduction of living beings?” Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, pretend that I didn’t ask. Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I’ll continue to think of a solution.”

Elder Moon was puzzled. “Are you trying to set someone up?” “That’s right. They’re two of my friends,” Li Changshou said. “One of them is innocent, while the other is very pure. When the two of them are together, they only talk about the matters regarding cultivation or longevity. It’s really difficult.”

Elder Moon smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, if you continue to pursue these things, you will be at a disadvantage. Dao companions are meant to be companions of cultivation. Since I’m already an immortal, why should I care so much about this matter? If they don’t want to have children, they don’t need to ask for much. It’s good this way.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for teaching me, Elder Moon.”

Although it is useless.

At that moment, Li Changshou accompanied Elder Moon and a few Heavenly Generals to drink a few cups of wine. He could not figure out which table he had gone to. The place in front of him was still filled with the smell of local seafood.

It was a pity that he did not bring Lingli over.

Later, Li Changshou was distracted again.

The main body in the secret underground chamber opened a piece of paper and tried hard to recall the universal education that he had received in his previous life. It mixed with the characteristics of the habit of incomplete sentences in the Primordial World and began to compile the treasure book of illustrations for Exalted Wang Qing.

After midnight...

“Success!”

Li Changshou stopped drawing and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

After that, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu would offer that item to Exalted Wang Qing. He would not have to worry about anything else.

In order to avoid attracting karma, Li Changshou only revealed the eighteen martial arts techniques he learned from the teachers in his previous life...

Well, he learned about ten percent of it.

Just as Li Changshou was about to put away the brush and ink, he suddenly thought of something. There was a hint of evil humor in the smile on his face. He picked up the pen and wrote four small words on the “Censored Painting”.

“The Newlyweds Collection”.

Li Changshou put down his self-made brush and stretched his muscles.

Just as he was about to use his immortal power to seal the painting that he had painstakingly created, a golden ray of light flashed in front of him!

A faint wisp of Heavenly Dao karma landed on his essence soul.

This...

Li Changshou couldn’t help but be stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the painting before looking at the tiny amount of merit he had gained.

That works too?

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is hinting to me that if I spread this thing out, I would be rewarded with more merit?

Forget it. The karma that this thing has to endure is too great.

Li Changshou shook his head and wrote one last sentence on the censored painting...

“Burn immediately after reading it. Do not tell anyone else.”

There was the word ‘stable’ at the core.

In any case, it was impossible for the merit that the Heavenly Dao had given him, to be taken back.
