My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 422 Immortal Vanquishing Swords Painting

“Sister Yun, do you want to drink wine? Senior Brother brewed it himself!”

“Yes, I’ll just drink a little bit…”

“Sister Yun, try this. My senior brother’s culinary skills are superb!”

“It’s indeed a rare delicacy. Nowadays, I seldom eat. I’m afraid I’ll have to eat more in the future.”

What… happened? The magnificent kitchen window was like a golden hall. Li Changshou held the metal pot and leaned back, looking at the situation in the distance in confusion.

His immortal senses could not detect Yun Xiao’s figure. He had to use his naked eye to see.

The lovey-dovey tricks that he had prepared were useless!

I didn’t do anything, but Yun Xiao and Ling’e are already so close? Ling’e’s gaze was clear and her essence soul was active. There was nothing unusual about her. Moreover, according to Li Changshou’s understanding of Ling’e, she was not as nervous as before. The way she called her sister… As her senior brother, he had never been addressed so affectionately before! Yun Xiao usually had a faint halo around her. She never got close to anyone except Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao. However, Ling’e and Yun Xiao were sitting side by side. When Ling’e knelt down, she even pressed down on Yun Xiao’s skirt. Not only did Yun Xiao not care, but she even looked at Ling’e with a gentle gaze…

Yun Xiao has made a move!

Damn it, Yun Xiao helped Ling’e braid her hair! Li Changshou seemed to have fallen into a strange state of confusion. He descended in a spiral and could not extricate himself! Could it be that he had some misunderstanding about the Primordial World? Li Changshou’s neck was very craned. His frown deepened and his eyes widened. Why was I so ‘benevolent’ just now and did not use the ‘fish’ paper effigy!?!

If I had known, I would have been ruthless and eavesdropped on what they were saying!

At that time, he thought that he should respect the two of them. No matter how troublesome the situation was, he should accept and make up for it… Why are they tolerating each other? Li Changshou’s eyes lit up…

There must be a trap! “Water God, let me do it. You’re about to char it! This green satin jade radish is a rare top-grade ingredient!” Bai Ze shouted and rushed over. He grabbed the metal pot and shook it a few times. He first heaved a sigh of relief and then clicked his tongue in wonder. “Impressive. Hehe, really impressive. However, Ling’e, who is in the Heaven Immortal realm, can actually be so harmonious with Fairy Yun Xiao, who is in the quasi-saint realm. Water God, do you have any secret techniques? Perhaps I might be tempted someday too and go and contact the fairies.” Li Changshou hugged his arms. The apron on his body was already a memorial for the few lives he had in his previous life. He pondered and said, “Mr. Bai, that’s not a good idea.

It’s best not to have any ulterior motives when it comes to relationships. Otherwise, you will lose your innocence and sincerity.” Bai Ze adjusted the taste of the dishes in the pot and retorted habitually, “I feel that what the Water God said is wrong. The love between a man and a woman should be intertwined with Yin and Yang. If you do not take a liking to the other party at first glance, how can there be future development? I’ve been in the mortal world as one of the human race for more than ten thousand years. I’m used to these things. Everyone would be attracted to good-looking people. If not for the fact that the two of them were attracted to each other when they first met and had ulterior motives, why would they get close to each other?”

Bai Ze was a tough old spirit. Li Changshou said, “This matter cannot be summarized. Different living beings have different opinions. Some focus on superficial apperance, while others focus on the personality inside. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Bai Ze smiled and said, “Does the Water God look at Fairy Yun Xiao from the inside or outside?”

“Why do I feel that Mr. Bai is setting a trap?” Li Changshou pursed his lips and said calmly, “When I first saw Fairy Yun Xiao, I thought that she was gentle and charming. Most of the fairies in the Primordial World are very beautiful. If that’s all I’m looking for, I would really be a lustful person. Actually, at that time, what left an impression on me was that this gentle fairy was very powerful. When she asked Brother Gongming to kneel, he knelt directly.”

Bai Ze smiled nonchalantly. “Is that true?” “Of course.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The reason that I admire Fairy Yun Xiao is partly because of her decisiveness when she encounters trouble, partly because of her accuracy and ruthlessness when she attacks, and partly because of her gentleness. This woman is indeed a special existence.”

Bai Ze placed the dishes on the plate and smiled with squinted eyes. “Why won’t the Water God admit it… Forget it, as long as you’re happy.” Li Changshou shook his head and said, “I’ll make a few more dishes. Please prepare some ingredients, Mr. Bai.”

Also…

He activated the surmounting Wind Speech Incantation at full force and heard Lingle and Yun Xiao’s clear voices in the wind.

However, what puzzled Li Changshou was that the two of them did not mention anything about him. Instead, they discussed cultivation techniques. Although it was a discussion, Yun Xiao was naturally guiding Ling’e in her cultivation… That was why Li Changshou became even more cautious.

A moment later, Li Changshou and Bai Ze each brought two exquisite dishes to the side of the pool. They plated the dishes and placed them on the table. Just as Li Changshou was about to speak, Bai Ze stood up and said, “Well, there’s a difference between master and servant. I’m just an auspicious beast of Ren School and a chef. I’m going to the side to lie down.”

After saying that, Bai Ze was about to leave and stay out of it. However, a ruthless hand pressed down from the side and pressed on Bai Ze’s shoulder.

Li Changshou said seriously, “Although there are no outsiders today, if someone sees this when they are passing by, they would think that Ren School is persecuting auspicious beasts.” The corners of Bai Ze’s mouth twitched. His goatee trembled. “Water God, you have harmed too many…”

“Mr. Bai, please take a seat.”

Yun Xiao’s gentle voice sounded. “I want to use today’s visit to remind you about something.”

Bai Ze suddenly shuddered and his Dao heart tensed up for no reason. He stood up first and knelt down. He straightened his back, smiled, squinted, and lowered his head.

“Fairy Yun Xiao, please give me your instructions.” “Mr. Bai, you’re being too serious. You’re an ancient schemer. Why are you giving orders?”. Yun Xiao looked at Li Changshou with a gentle gaze. When she saw Li Changshou smiling and blinking, she looked at Bai Ze. “I know that Mr. Bai must have his own plans for joining Ren School. However, please remember that the Water God does not only involve Ren School. The three sects of the Dao Sect have his help.” “Fairy, don’t worry.” Bai Ze lowered his head and said, “I will do my best to assist the Water God in the future. I will not have any other thoughts!” Yun Xiao nodded gently and blinked at Li Changshou before continuing to speak softly to Ling’e. Bai Ze heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. His left hand was trembling, and his neck seemed to be stuck. He twisted it a few times before looking at Li Changshou.

Just as he was about to speak, a breeze blew past, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. Li Changshou could not help but frown… Why are they so stressed when facing Fairy Yun Xiao? With two huge question marks, Li Changshou cut to the topic between Yun Xiao and Ling’e and took out the knowledge that he had never revealed. From the clothes and color, to the various hairstyles, to the relationship between Dao and personality…

Li Changshou gently took over the control of the conversation, so that Ling’e and Yun Xiao would not feel awkward or neglected.

Unfortunately, Li Changshou did not manage to obtain any useful information.

When the sun set in the west and night fell, Yun Xiao recalled that she should not stay long and bade farewell.

Just as Li Changshou stood up and was about to send Yun Xiao out of the sect, Ling’e reminded him, “Senior Brother, even if you use your incarnation, remember to send Sister Yun Xiao back to the Three-Immortal Island.”

Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He did not use his incarnation and rode a cloud to send “Young Master Xiao” out of the Immortal Du Sect. After flying thousands of kilometers out of the immortal sect, Yun Xiao stopped and turned to look at Li Changshou. There seemed to be thousands of words written in her eyes. “You don’t have to really send me off. Otherwise, I’ll be worried for you.” Li Changshou coughed and asked, “Although it’s ungentlemanly of me to ask that, I’m really puzzled. What did you say to Ling’e?”

“You can ask Ling’e later. I won’t say anything else.” Yun Xiao’s gaze was a little distant. She lowered her head and smoothed her eyebrows. “From now on… if you need me to do anything, just tell me directly. Don’t make things too difficult for yourself. If you don’t even trust me, why should we be friends?” Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Did you deduce anything?” “No.” Yun Xiao looked to the side.

Li Changshou said, “Fairy, can you look at me directly?” Yun Xiao looked up at the person in front of her. The two of them looked at each other and the moon and stars disappeared instantly. After a while, Li Changshou was about to ask the question again when Yun Xiao took the initiative to say, “I will take good care of that copper coin.”

She had indeed deduced it, but she did not know much.

“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I always prioritize self-preservation…” Yun Xiao suddenly asked, “If I can break through the Love Tribulation and survive the Fate Tribulation, shall we travel the Three Realms together and search the stars?”

Li Changshou frowned slightly and stared at her eyes that seemed to be filled with stars.

“I was still wondering what you were worried about. When you suddenly came to the sect to take a look, you seemed to have been cured by Ling’e. I didn’t expect you to be worried about your gains and losses. Ling’e’s personality is also a good medicine to treat mental illness. No wonder…” “Huh?” Yun Xiao blinked.

“Ahem, worrying about personal gains and losses is a common occurrence in the Ascension realm. It can be compared to the mental demons between men and women.”

Li Changshou smiled and extended his right hand. He said warmly, “This is because we are concerned about each other and we’re becoming more and more important to each other. They would mainly think and worry too much. However, it is nothing. Can you lend me your hand?”

“Yes.” Yun Xiao extended her right hand that was like white jade. Under Li Changshou’s signal, her fingertips trembled slightly and pressed against Li Changshou’s palm. Li Changshou grabbed her hand but did not use any strength. Yun Xiao blushed and looked puzzled.

Li Changshou asked, “Are you worried that when your Dao heart is perfect, there will be no place for

me?”

“How do you know…” “Actually, I was worried about that problem too.” Li Changshou exerted some force with his right hand. “However, I understood later on.”

Yun Xiao hurriedly asked, “Why?”

“I’ve always wanted to be stable.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When I was thinking about this previously, it was much more complicated than you think. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to convince myself to admit my feelings. I’ll tell you everything today. If you and I can cultivate the Dao of Marriage to perfection and let you pass the love tribulation because of that, you will no longer have a place for me in your heart…

Then, I will fuse your Dao heart again and enter it. I even thought about what would happen if you were to get injured and lose your memories in the future. I would write our story in a book and let you read it from the beginning before going through it with you again. There are also various scenarios that I have considered in detail before deciding to let nature take its course. Actually, these are not too troublesome situations. What troubles me the most is that my cultivation level is insufficient. I can’t protect you from the calamity that you might have to face in the future. However, I understood later…

If I can’t protect you no matter what I do, I’m not worthy of forming a Dao Fruit of Marriage with you. What did you ask me just now?” Yun Xiao gently poked Li Changshou’s palm with her finger. Li Changshou understood and released his palm. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he then felt that there were a few soft jade fingers between his fingers. He subconsciously clenched his hands and subconsciously interlocked his fingers. Yun Xiao looked into his eyes and said gently, “If I pass the Love Tribulation and no longer have you in my heart, I will destroy my Dao heart and increase my obsession with you. I asked just now if we can make a pact using the calamity? When I’m free of calamities and disasters, are you willing to travel the Three Realms with me and search the stars?”

“Yes.”

“There is no hesitation in your heart today.”

Yun Xiao’s hand slowly slid back. “I hope to protect myself. Do what you can and don’t go against the heavenly will.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Don’t worry. I’m very stable.”

Then, he bowed with a Dao salute in response. The fairy walked on the cloud and constantly looked back.

However, in the end, she still turned into clouds and dissipated in the world. Li Changshou stood quietly for a long time.

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation…

Let’s work harder to gain more power. Yes, he still had to talk to Ling’e when he went back. The reward had to be given. After all, Ling’e would have to go out to train in the blink of an eye. It would be beneficial for her to write more sutras.

One of them had a Life-and-Death Tribulation, while the other had a Longevity Tribulation…

It gave him a headache.

A moment ago, in the clouds, outside the Three Realms, on the steps of a palace, more than ten figures gathered there and looked…

They looked at the cloud mirror that was condensed from great Dharma powers and had four peerless swords as its frame.

The Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords had an outstanding effect. Not only was the image extremely clear, but it could also be switched to four different angles. It was closer to the original voice and could replay the tone and aura of the person speaking in the image. It made the audience feel like they were in the same realm. It was indeed worthy of being called a Connate Cardinal treasure!

In the image, a man and a woman were intertwining their hands with each other. They were speaking. “I’m very stable.”

The immortals sitting on the steps had different expressions. They had just arrived when their master gestured for them to look at the cloud mirror…

A few female immortals were filled with emotions. A few male immortals looked gratified. Only one or two living beings held jade talismans to record the practical lessons of the emotional masters of the three sects.

“Ah.” The young Daoist who was sitting at the highest seat pinched a pale golden grape and stuffed it into his mouth. “If you have 30% of Little Changgeng’s ability to develop relationships… You only know to cultivate all day long. Now, the disciples of Jie School are more powerful than those of Chan School! It’s a calamity that will cause the Dao Sect to decline. If we don’t find Jie School, who can we find?”

Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, the Black Clouds Immortal, and more than ten immortals lowered their heads and agreed. The Goddess of Turtle Spirit said softly, “Master, you took in too many disciples back then. We don’t dare to take in disciples…”

“That’s not important.” The young Daoist waved his hand. “Who will analyze this? What is the most important thing about this cloud?”

Everyone pondered for a while. Duobao smiled and said, “I will listen to Master’s teachings.”

“Look, did Changgeng give Yun Xiao any promises just now? Thinking about it carefully, he did not give any to her. All his words came with a premise. He wanted to wait for them to form the Dao Fruit of Marriage. In other words, their relationship was not that close yet. However, why did Yun Xiao feel touched? It is because a disciple as intelligent as Yun Xiao cannot use fancy words. Otherwise, Yun Xiao can tell at a glance. Only by taking out the most sincere thoughts in his heart and showing them to Yun Xiao could he dispel Yun Xiao’s worries. For example, Gongming, you went out with Jin Guang for a walk. You only look at the scenery every day. Don’t you know how to set the mood and say some romantic words?” Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “Ah, Master, you are right. Master, did you summon us here to see my second sister bid farewell to Changgeng? Master, what did they do previously?”.

“They drank and chat. Yes, let’s talk about serious matters.”

The young Daoist put on airs and said calmly, “The Great Dao does not increase, and the world does not grow. Recently, the Heavenly Secrets have been in chaos. The Great Tribulation is probably not far. In just one or two thousand years, you should have sensed it. Now, the strength of our Jie School cannot increase anymore. All of you, think of a way to push forward the Dao of Marriage and let everyone have less thoughts about cultivation. If you are confused, prepare a gift and seek guidance from Changgeng. I’ve been going to the Chaos Sea recently to take a look and see if I can find some treasures to suppress the teachings… Gongming? Later, send a painting to Changgeng. Tell him that I personally made it and raise his spirits.”

After saying that, the young Daoist priest swept his sleeve and disappeared instantly. It was as if he had erased his existence in the image. There was no trace at all.

Zhao Gongming was about to accept the order when he was stunned again. He hurriedly said, “Master, you have yet to draw for me!” A soft snort sounded from the void outside the hall. “Find a random canvas and use the Immortal Vanquishing Four Swords Seal. Remember to reserve some original Immortal Vanquishing Sword Qi for him.”

The eldest disciple of the sect and the Immortal Attendants looked at each other. The four swords trembled slightly and automatically floated in the air, waiting for Zhao Gongming to wrap them up with a canvas.

Thus, half a day later… In the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou looked at the painting in front of him and was speechless.

What does the Grandmaster of Heaven mean?

Li Changshou looked at the four swords carefully and suddenly felt a chill on his neck. His hair stood on end.
