My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 633: The Flower Has Reopened, but The Petals Are Different

After receiving the news that his master’s soul had awakened, Li Changshou waited for another sixteen years.

In the past sixteen years, Li Changshou had been forcing himself to be busy with the political affairs of the Heavenly Courts and the small arrangements before the Great Tribulation.

In fact, in the past sixteen years, Li Changshou had appeared in the Lingxiao Hall more times than the previous 320 years!

That made the Jade Emperor think that the Heavenly Courts would encounter some danger later.

It also made General Dongmu uneasy. He was afraid that the trivial matters that he could do on a daily basis had been done by Taibai Jinxing. He had become a useless person who had retired from the Heavenly Courts.

Quan Dong found an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Changshou and advised him not to be too hardworking. The pressure on the immortals working below was a little high.

Li Changshou only smiled bitterly and remained silent for a while.

The silence was the barbecue tonight.

However, Li Changshou could not ignore the leader who was concerned about him, the subordinate.

He sorted out his thoughts and smiled bitterly. He said slowly, “Actually, I’m a little pretentious.”

“Pretentious?”

Quan Dong smiled and said, “If the demons that died at your hands hear these words, they will really jump out of their coffins to settle scores with you. What is it?”

“My master, Qi Yuan.”

Li Changshou downed the wine in his cup and continued to flip the skewer in his hand.

Only the simple mortal fire could create a different kind of dust fragrance.

Li Changshou said, “Previously, Goddess Houtu ordered someone to send news that Master’s remnant soul has completely recovered in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.”

“That’s a good thing.” Quan Dong smiled and said, “You used so much merit previously and even killed the little demon prince Lu Ya, who was chosen by the Heavenly Dao to add fuel to the fire during the calamity. In the end, fortunately, Saint Nuwa took action and gathered Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan’s soul. It’s a good thing that your master’s soul has awakened. Why are you still frowning?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and looked at Quan Dong beside him. He smiled and said, “Your Majesty should know.”

“Oh?” Quan Dong blinked. Then, he pinched his fingers and deduced openly. He had completely forgotten that the Heavenly Dao should have blinded the heavenly secrets and prevented the Heavenly Dao from deducing.

The Heavenly Emperor was not a privileged person.

“Isn’t that good?”

Quan Dong muttered, “The Heavenly Dao appeared. After your master reincarnates, he will be an important figure in this Great Tribulation. The three Dao of Man, Immortal, and God have made some achievements... Changgeng, are you worried that my master will become a means for the Heavenly Dao to restrain you? Actually, sometimes, you think too much of the Heavenly Dao as a living being. The so-called Heavenly Dao is the gathering of the Great Dao and the manifestation of the rules. The only goal is the stability of the world. Changgeng, you’re mistaken.”

Li Changshou stood up and bowed with a Dao salute. He smiled and said, “Thank you for enlightening me, Your Majesty.”

Quan Dong smiled.

“However, I’m worried about other things.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “If I go, Master will be reincarnated.”

Quan Dong blinked and was a little confused.

“Previously, the Goddess said that after Master reincarnates, he would have nothing to do with me. That was her condition to save Master. Since I have promised the Goddess, I will not go back on my words. After Master reincarnates, he will no longer have anything to do with me. This chance of reincarnation is the only thing I can offer my master. In the past sixteen years, every time I thought about how I could not show my filial to his parents and could only watch my master leave, I would feel a little upset.”

Li Changshou sighed softly.

Quan Dong thought carefully and picked up the wine jar beside him. He handed it to Li Changshou and said, “It’s all in the wine! Today, let’s drink to our hearts’ content and forget the many troubles of the Three Realms!”

Li Changshou smiled and took the wine jar. He clinked it with Quan Dong, and the two incarnations drank until they were drunk.

The paper effigy was drunk!

Three months later, Li Changshou could not delay any longer.

His master was going to reincarnate anyway. It was not a big deal to stay in the treasure pool.

It was indeed a good thing for his master. He could not delay his master’s beautiful future because of the guilt in his heart.

He had given him all the necessary arrangements.

Sensing that Ling’e was about to come out of seclusion, Li Changshou set the date to go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation as the day Ling’e would come out of seclusion.

He asked Ling’e to send his master off.

On that day, the Dao runes around Ling’e returned to calm. They only stopped in the midst of comprehending the Dao.

Li Changshou took the initiative to wake her up from her seclusion. He reminded her to change into a plain dress and go out later.

A plain dress?

Ling’e, who was still a little dazed, tilted her head. Then, she understood something.

Senior Brother should be bringing me to visit some mighty figures and officially bring me into his social circle!

Indeed, after becoming a Golden Immortal, Senior Brother’s attitude towards me immediately changed drastically.

The thousand-year plan of sleeping with Senior Brother has finally started!

Thinking about that, Ling’e blinked and suddenly raised her hand to cover her face. She turned around and hugged the thin blanket and rolled around on the bed.

Li Changshou, who was outside the door, was speechless.

This little golden immortal is really not steady.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that the most unstable person today would be...

The Jade Emperor.

Two hours later, Ling’e finally finished dressing up.

She changed into a white dress with blue flowers and combed her long hair back to her temples. She wore a jade hairpin that Yun Xiao had given her back then and carried a flower basket that her senior brother had refined.

Ling’e even “schemed” and tied a Flowing Cloud ribbon on her wrist. When she stood still, the ribbon also fluttered with some streams of light, preventing her from being subconsciously ignored.

Naturally, Ling’e’s worries were completely unfounded.

After entering the Golden Immortal realm, his junior sister, who was already considered a spiritual beauty, had a qualitative leap.

Her eyes were bright and moving, and there was a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes. The distance between her small nose and upper lip seemed to have been painstakingly carved by Goddess Nuwa. She was so beautiful that there was no difference.

Her figure was even more slender. Although her waist under the corset was not exaggerated to the point where it could not withstand being grabbed, it was still slender.

When she flew out of the secret underground chamber and dispersed the “Smoke Escape Technique” to appear in front of Li Changshou, Li Changshou was a little surprised.

“Let’s go.”

Li Changshou said warmly and pointed out a white cloud, leaving half a spot for Ling’e.

Ling’e jumped up on her toes and agreed obediently. She subconsciously stood at the edge of the white cloud.

Then, she asked softly, “Senior Brother, our three rules... are still...”

“Come over.” Li Changshou raised his left hand slightly. Ling’e pursed her lips and chuckled. She hugged her senior brother’s arm happily.

When the white cloud left the Little Qiong Peak, he flew out of the Grand White Palace and headed towards the East Heavenly Gate.

In order to prevent others from suspecting his character when he brought Ling’e out, Li Changshou deliberately did not use the image of an old immortal. Instead, he maintained the appearance of a young Daoist.

Ling’e did not ask what Li Changshou wanted to bring her to do. At that moment, she was immersed in the joy that he had broken the three rules. She only squinted and chuckled from time to time.

Well, he had been conquered by her!

Just as the pair was about to leave the East Heavenly Gate, a distant shout sounded from behind. It was the Golden Roc spreading its wings and flying over.

“Teacher!”

Li Changshou stopped the cloud and gestured for Ling’e, who was hanging on his arm, to stand obediently. He turned around and waited for Jin Pengfei to arrive.

“What’s wrong? Why didn’t you lead the troops in the trichiliocosm? Why did you suddenly return?”

“Teacher.” The Golden Roc cupped his fists and said, “The Jade Emperor has just issued a decree and called me back. He said that Teacher has been in a bad mood recently and asked me to accompany Teacher more.”

Li Changshou chuckled and bowed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He smiled and said, “Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty. That’s good. It’ll be faster with you in the Netherworld.”

However, the Golden Roc said, “Teacher, the Jade Emperor ordered his horse to guard the carriage a few months ago. He said that he was waiting for you to go out...”

As soon as he finished speaking, the horses in the sky neighed. A stream of light flew slowly towards that place.

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly, but he did not reject the Jade Emperor’s kind intentions. When the carriage came forward, he sat on the “convertible” carriage with Ling’e.

There were eight Mutant Golden Light Flood Dragons in front of the carriage. Three hundred elite Heavenly Soldiers riding pegasi were guarding the side. There were also six thousand Heavenly Soldiers waiting outside the East Heavenly Gate to protect Lord Taibai Jinxing.

The drums and trumpets sounded.

Heavenly Might, Army Might.

A large group of people rushed to the Netherworld in a mighty manner, attracting the gazes of the people from both the Heavenly Courts and the East Ocean’s East Continent.

Li Changshou felt more at ease and was no longer as depressed as before.

Three days later, the Heavenly Courts’ ceremonial guards finally arrived in the Netherworld.

Fengdu City was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The vengeful spirits and evil spirits everywhere were temporarily detained or driven away. It made the number one city in the Netherworld... very bright.

Ox-head and Horse-face, the Second Marshal, had already left the pass to welcome him. They bowed outside the carriage and protected him.

Many experts of the Magi in the Netherworld were welcoming them halfway.

The ten Yama Lords arrived in front of the city gate in advance. After Li Changshou alighted from the carriage, they laughed loudly and greeted him.

That was also considered the “ecology” of the current Heavenly Courts.

Li Changshou ordered the Golden Roc and the Heavenly Courts’ troops to wait outside the city. He did not want to disturb the ghosts in the city. He also asked Ling’e to bow to the ten Yama Lords and call them seniors.

The Yama Lords were experts when it came to investigating ghosts. They were not weak when it came to fighting and scolding. They were also good at hunting demons. However, when they praised beautiful fairies, they would say the same thing over and over again.

“Aiya, Fairy Ling’e, it’s been many years since we last met. You’ve gotten more beautiful!”

“How handsome!”

“A match made in heaven.”

“Have a child soon, hahahaha!”

Ling’e’s face was flushed red. She hid behind Li Changshou and did not dare to show her face. Li Changshou smiled and agreed.

It was impossible for him to be embarrassed by such low-level teasing.

He entered Fengdu City and headed to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.

Taibai Jinxing, accompanied by the Yama Lords of the ten halls, inspected the sanitation of the streets of Fengdu City. He asked about the efficiency of dealing with vengeful spirits and vengeful spirits and pointed out that the eighteen levels of hell had to be sealed at all times to prevent ghosts from running to the mortal world to cause trouble.

When Li Changshou and Ling’e entered the Reincarnation Disc, the ten Yama Lords looked at each other and smiled. Only King Qin Guang and King Chujiang were waiting. The other eight rushed back to the various Yama Halls to get busy.

However, just as the eight Yama Lords left, King Qin Guang frowned and seemed to have sensed something.

He turned around from the Reincarnation Immortal Island and his eyes shone with black light. He looked in the direction of the city gate of Fengdu City and was shocked.

There was a Heavenly Courts general dressed in armor walking over slowly. He sized up the low buildings in Fengdu City and smiled faintly.

“Jade... Jade Emperor?”

King Qin Guang shouted.

King Chujiang, who was pinching his waist and picking his ears, smiled and said, “Big Brother, what are you talking about? What Jade Emperor? What Jade Emperor?”

“Rascal!”

Slap! Slap! Slap!

King Qin Guang raised his hand and slapped King Chujiang. It happened to hit King Chujiang’s raised elbow. That finger immediately poked into his skull and emitted a stream of black blood from the Magi.

King Qin Guang lowered his voice and cursed, “That’s the incarnation of the Jade Emperor!”

King Chujiang blinked and stuffed a handkerchief into his ear. He glared at the young general on the streets of Fengdu City and could not help but burp.

Wound?

It was just a skull. It was not a vital point.

“Quick! I’ll invite the Jade Emperor to rush to the Yama Hall. Quickly call the brothers to gather and call the judge and ghost generals!”

King Qin Guang hurriedly ordered. King Chujiang agreed and turned around to run.

Not long after, there were some disturbances in Fengdu City. There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

At the same time, in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.

...

Knowing that she was going to the Netherworld this time, Ling’e immediately understood why her senior brother wanted her to wear a plain dress.

To pay respects to their master.

Therefore, when she followed her senior brother into the small world in the Reincarnation Disc and flew to the treasure pool in the corner, Ling’e did not need her senior brother to call her over. She had already taken out five sets of offerings.

There were fruits, wine, meat, candlesticks, incense burners, copper basins, a few paper effigies, and a handkerchief.

Before Li Changshou could speak, Ling’e had already nurtured her emotions. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said sadly, “Master, you died so miserably...”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Ahem!”

A dry cough came from the treasure pool.

Ling’e was stunned. In the blink of an eye, the image of an old Daoist priest slowly grew out of the treasure pool and smiled kindly at her.

“Ah, I feel awkward when you cry.”

“Master!”

Ling’e cheered and stood up. Just as she was about to jump up, she realized that there were other remnant souls in the treasure pool that were being repaired. She hurriedly stopped and tears welled up in her eyes.

“You’re alive again.”

“Why?” Qi Yuan pretended to be angry. “Did reviving me delay you and your senior brother?”

“No, no. Aiya... I’m happy.”

Ling’e lowered her head and bowed. She said softly, “Greetings, Master!”

Li Changshou bowed deeply and smiled. “Greetings, Master.”

“Ah, okay, okay.”

Qi Yuan raised his hand and supported himself. His soul flew out of the treasure pool. Immortal light floated around him, which contained a lot of merit.

He said, “The restoration of my remnant soul was all thanks to your senior brother’s request to the Saint. Speaking of which, I’m ashamed. I did not teach the two of you much. Instead, I made Changshou spend all his effort to protect his life and gather his soul. ”

Li Changshou said in a low voice, “If Master had not given me my original background, I would only be a mortal. At that moment, I would already be a pile of bones buried in the wilderness.”

Ling’e tried to hold her master’s arm, but she realized that she was blocked by the immortal light around her master.

When Li Changshou saw that, his expression turned a little gloomy. He pulled himself together and thought about how to make his master laugh a few more times before reincarnating.

Qi Yuan smiled and said, “Previously, the Lady of Earth told me that after you came, I would reincarnate. Changshou, Ling’e, accompany me on a walk. I have many things to say to you. I don’t know where to start.”

Li Changshou agreed softly and followed behind Qi Yuan.

Ling’e pursed her lips and lowered her head to wipe her tears. Then, she leaned forward with a smile.

“Hehehe! Master, guess what cultivation your second disciple has now.”

Qi Yuan smiled and said, “What Dao Attainment can that be? It’s impossible for you to become a Golden Immortal in such a short period of time, right?”

“Look!”

Ling’e pinched her waist and revealed her Dao runes. She chuckled smugly.

Qi Yuan could not help but smile kindly.

His second disciple’s Dao realm was too high. He... could not comprehend the details.

Qi Yuan smiled and said, “I don’t know why I deserve this. I have achieved nothing in my life, but I have taken in an impressive disciple. Changshou, the Lady of Earth had previously mentioned that you are now a second-stage righteous god of the Heavenly Courts, Lord Taibai Jinxing, ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Dao Sequences... I don’t know much about that, but I know that you are capable. I’m quite proud of myself. However, Changshou, there’s something you have to remember.”

“Tell me, Master,” Li Changshou replied with his head lowered.

Qi Yuan looked serious and said slowly, “I know that you are not timid. You are just afraid of death. This is the norm for living beings. However, you keep talking about it every day. I’m just a small Turbid Immortal in the world. I don’t have broad horizons or knowledge. However, you have been raised by me. I still have a responsibility to be your master. I have to say these words. At your current position, you can’t just think about yourself. You are an important immortal of the Heavenly Courts. You have the power to kill countless living beings. You seem to be the main character of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. You have to think about how to do something for the living beings of the world and the Three Realms. You don’t have to seek fame or suffer some misunderstandings. However, you only have to have a clear conscience. You have to live up to your current position and authority.”

“Yes, I will remember.”

Li Changshou smiled and agreed.

At the side, Ling’e whispered, “Master, most of the order in the Heavenly Courts is planned and personally brought up by Senior Brother. Senior Brother has already done many things for the common people.”

“Is that so?” Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the young man in front of him.

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said softly, “Anyway, it won’t affect my safety. I’ll take advantage of it.”

“That’s good. Ah, that’s good.”

Qi Yuan smiled in satisfaction. He placed his hands behind his back and continued walking forward. After taking a few steps, he asked, “Junior Sister Yushi... is she alright?”

“Aunt-Master Yushi stayed in the Immortal Du Sect to cultivate,” Li Changshou said. “I once invited her to the Heavenly Courts. She was a little unwilling. Master, don’t worry. The Immortal Du Sect is protected by the Heavenly Soldiers now. There won’t be any danger.”

“That’s good.” Qi Yuan smiled and said, “I’ve let your Aunt-Master down in this life. I thought that I could find her reincarnation, but I didn’t expect...

Although the flower has bloomed again, there are no petals. That is probably the logic of reincarnation.”

Li Changshou sighed and was about to speak when Qi Yuan continued, “After I reincarnate, there will be no karma between me and my previous life. Cultivate well. When you know that I have already reincarnated, you don’t have to worry about me or visit me. You also don’t have to trouble yourself to guide me to cultivate. Changshou, you have already done too much for me. In the end, I don’t want to be taken care of like this.”

Ling’e’s eyes turned red, and she pouted. “Master...”

“Silly child, why are you crying? It’s already a blessing that I can reincarnate. This is a good thing.”

Qi Yuan took the initiative to reach out, but he could not hold Ling’e’s fingers. Ling’e hurriedly raised her hand and followed her master’s palm.

The old Daoist priest placed Ling’e’s hand in Li Changshou’s palm and patted it gently.

“Changshou, your junior sister has been deeply in love with you since she was young. You have taught her so much because you want her to be by your side for a long time. I know that you have feelings for a mighty figure, Fairy Yun Xiao, but you also remember not to neglect and let Ling’e down. This is my last request for you.”

“Master...”

Li Changshou moved his lips and wanted to speak, but his voice was choked. He could only hold Ling’e’s slender hand tightly.

Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and patted the back of Li Changshou’s hand.

“Let’s go. Just wait here. Don’t watch me enter the Reincarnation Disc. Don’t be sad and don’t worry. As Qi Refinement cultivators, it’s difficult to transcend. Why is it difficult to be carefree?”

After saying that, Qi Yuan waved his hand and turned around. He walked slowly towards the fog not far away and recited softly.

“In the vast World Turbid Immortal Fruit, don’t be sad for a thousand years. My Dao heart will not change my longevity aspirations. I will let this soul walk the final path.”

A wisp of golden light shone and moved the old Daoist priest’s soul outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Li Changshou suddenly broke down. He raised his head and took a deep breath, but his aura kept trembling. Tears flickered in the corners of his eyes, but they quickly evaporated by him.

He was an expert of Ren School, the Heavenly Courts’ authoritative god, the tenth in the Heavenly Dao sequence!

Li Changshou slowly knelt down in the direction that the old Daoist priest had left...

“Little fellow, do you want to learn an immortal technique from me? You can live forever and live freely in the world.”
