My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 390 A Little Wine Feast

“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 spacious 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 gods 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 accumulated 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 asserted 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 God?”

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 class: When you see your friend revealing such a sad expression under such circumstances 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 Goddess of Golden Light?”. Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly and looked at the wine glass 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 Goddess 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 Goddess of Golden Light’s “passion” 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.

Kong Xuan expressed that his horizons had been broadened, and he did not know how to evaluate it.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Brother, do you know what kind of woman you like now?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “I don’t need a Dao companion. Now that my Dao heart has been disturbed, I’m destined to experience a love tribulation. If I have to have a Dao companion, I hope that she can be as gentle as Second Sister, without Second Sister’s dignity, and be as intelligent as Third Sister. However, I don’t want her to have any evil interests like Third Sister. She doesn’t have to give up anything for me, and I don’t have to change my character for her. There’s no need to be deliberate when we talk. When we smile at each other, our hearts will touch. It would be best if her cultivation level is similar to mine. That way, we can understand each other. If there’s nothing else to talk about, we can talk about the Great Dao…”

Li Changshou picked up two green vegetables with his jade chopsticks and placed them on the plate in front of Zhao Gongming. He reminded, “Don’t just drink. Eat some food. Eat some food. Why are you so drunk?”

“Forget it.” Zhao Gongming shook his head. “It’s indeed difficult to find such a woman.”

Li Changshou pursed his lips. There were a few women like her in Jie School… Kong Xuan could not help but sigh. “After dividing Yin and Yang, it’s really too troublesome.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “However, because of that, the path of cultivation and seeking the truth has become vibrant and interesting.” Kong Xuan asked, “What’s the point of romance between men and women?” Li Changshou answered, “The word ‘love’ should be integrated into your nature. You can use it to stabilize yourself and resist the obliteration of your Dao heart.”

“If I don’t kill him, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to achieve the Dao.”

“If achieving the Dao means giving up on your original nature, why do you need to transcend?” Li Changshou seemed to have started the topic and was talking about that matter calmly. “If you lose your temperament, your words and actions will be close to the Dao. You will only become a puppet of the Dao. How can you call that achieving the Dao? If a living being asked, ‘Why did I seek the truth and achieve the Dao?’ We can’t possibly answer that it’s to achieve the Dao. Achieving the Dao means that there is nothing to restrict him or hurt him. If he has no selfish desires, why would he ask for that? Therefore, achieving the Dao is definitely not about being assimilated by the Dao. It is not about fusing with the Dao and should not be trapped by the Dao. There is a saying in the Dao Sect’s ancient books that the three corpses were the origin of good and evil. However, the original body was not cut out but removed like clothes. What was taken off was the void and the fake. What remained was the original and the real. This was to sever the three corpses and transcend. That is one thing. If he has any feelings or worries in his heart, he might be able to obtain a guide to return to his nature when he was about to lose himself in the Great Dao. This is ultimately a good thing, and definitely not different from cultivating the Dao.” “Let me think about it carefully.” Kong Xuan nodded slowly and sat there in deep thought. Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and asked, “What ancient book is this? Why haven’t I seen it before? Also, Brother, I’m really not used to you talking about this so seriously.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Do you have to undermine me!?! That was just to remind Kong Xuan that it was not unnecessary to do things between men and women. Furthermore, it was very easy for a Connate Chaos Body to become an Envoy of the Great Dao and lose its original self. However, if he had worries outside the Dao, he could better resist the invasion of the Great Dao.

He was really worried about a senior brother in the backyard of the Tushita Palace!

Li Changshou suddenly thought of something and asked seriously, “Brother, how far have you gone with the Goddess of Golden Light?” “Which is the furthest step you’ve taken? The Budding Romance realm?” Zhao Gongming was confused. “Hold hands, embrace, kiss, consummate your marriage. Which step?” Zhao Gongming blushed and mumbled, “The first step… occasionally.” “That will be fine.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. “If you finish all four steps and say that your personalities don’t match, I will really go to the Green Touring Palace to complain about you.” Zhao Gongming cursed, “I’m not that weak! By the way, how far have you and my Second Sister gone?” “It’s about love and respect. Every time we meet, we chat and take a stroll. It should be said that he just left… Half a step.” Li Changshou explained calmly and wiped away the image of the pavilion in his heart. It was not appropriate for him to tell others about such private matters. It was enough for him to ask around.

Zhao Gongming thought for a while and asked, “Then, will my Second Sister be awkward when she interacts with you?”

Li Changshou carefully recalled the few times they had interacted. He smiled and shook his head. “Even if we don’t talk for a few days and nights, we still feel quite harmonious.” “Ahem.” Kong Xuan had already come to his senses. “If that’s the case, I have a presumptuous request.”

He sounded much more respectful. This presumptuous request… “Fellow Daoist, please speak.”

“The next time you meet Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao, can you let me observe secretly?”

Kong Xuan knew that his request was a little overboard. He explained, “I want to know more about these matters. Mother entrusted the last hope of the Phoenix Clan to me. Now that my realm is in a predicament, my Connate Chaos Body has long lost its support. It’s time to confirm the Yin and Yang.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Fellow Daoist, do you know that we humans should be considered experts in the Primordial World when it comes to reproduction? Especially the first batch of humans that had been personally created by the Holy Mother. That was definitely the true meaning of the rapid reproduction of the human race! The human race is the main character of the world. If the phoenix race can form a good relationship with the human race, their destiny will be affected…”

Kong Xuan could not help but ask, “Where can we find the first batch of humans?”

“Isn’t this a coincidence?” Zhao Gongming slammed the table. “There are only two… positions in Jie School… Brother, why are your eyes so terrifying? Did I say something wrong?” Li Changshou said calmly, “Let’s talk about how we should help you deal with the aftermath.”

Zhao Gongming blinked and did not understand.

Kong Xuan squinted and smiled. He said, “If only I could meet Fellow Daoist Xuan Du again.” Zhao Gongming was enlightened and could not help but scratch his head awkwardly.

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He had a plan in mind. He would not mention it again today.

Li Changshou had actually long prepared a plan to help Zhao Gongming solve the problem. At that moment, he took out a scroll and began to explain his thoughts. At that moment, the Goddess of Golden Light also knew that the two of them were not suitable to be Dao companions. When they were chatting beside the Dragon Treasure Pool on Golden Ao Island, they had made an agreement. If they felt that it was not appropriate, they would not force each other. That escape route was actually the brocade pouch that Li Changshou had given the Goddess of Fire Spirit back then.

Now that Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Light had reached that step, Li Changshou’s plan was completed.

How could there be lovers in the world who liked each other and were also compatible with each other? Half of the relationships were based on whether they liked each other when they were young and whether they were compatible when they were older. It was the same in the Primordial World.

Lovers would end up together. To some living beings, it was just a beautiful wish.

“But, Brother.”

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while. “Isn’t it a little exaggerated to make the separation such a big matter? No one knows that Junior Sister Jinguang and I…” Li Changshou reminded calmly, “Don’t forget Senior Brother Duobao’s Earth Cave mystical ability.” Zhao Gongming was stunned at first. Then, he frowned.

By the side, Kong Xuan pinched his fingers to calculate. Then, he could not help but laugh and say, “Interesting.”

In the shade of a tree in Tushita Palace, a young Daoist who had just put away the Taiji Painting and was about to cultivate after watching the show suddenly frowned. Why is it so… noisy again today?
