My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 130 - Master, I’ve Tried My Best

Chapter 130 Master, I’ve Tried My Best
“Well…”
Elder Moon frowned as he looked at General Dongmu who was in front of him, appearing a little awkward. “This… um…”
At that moment, the two of them were sitting in the reception hall of the Moon Elder Hall’s side hall. General Dongmu leaned sideways and took the initiative to move forward.
Elder Moon was very familiar with that action. Usually, the people who went to look for him and did not want others to know about it would subconsciously do that.
It was not just that. The movements of General Dongmu handing over the treasure pouch and the shifty gaze that he had when he spoke…
Elder Moon was extremely familiar with all of that.
However, Elder Moon had never heard of the request that Dong Mugong had made that day.
If it was an ordinary matchmaking request, Elder Moon would definitely not dare to reject General Dongmu, given the latter’s identity, status, and qualifications. Some of his merit would be deducted.
However…
“Elder Moon, can you give me an answer?” General Dongmu asked softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.
“General Dongmu.” Elder Moon cupped his hands and said seriously, “To be honest, I have indeed helped others matchmake. However, their red strings were very close to each other. They have the same intention as each other. That’s why I could bring them together.
I had indeed cut the red string for others too. However, the two clay figurines were struggling with each other, and hence, I cut the red string to the point that it was still connected but was almost breaking, to make them happy.
However, I would never be able to cut and sever the clay figurines thoroughly.
That is the destiny of the Lone Star, so it must be huge karma!”
Hearing Elder Moon’s sincere words, General Dongmu pondered for a while. However, the words of that “old man” surfaced in his heart.
“If the first path doesn’t work, General Dongmu, you can change your mind and marry as soon as possible.”
“Then, find an excuse to ask His Majesty for a plaque or something like that to wish you and Madam a perfect marriage. Then, General Dongmu, you shall show up with Madam often and behave lovingly with her in front of others. Wouldn’t that allow you to avoid suspicion?”
Naturally, General Dongmu did not know that the “old man” who gave him that idea was actually several times more complicated than what he was thinking…
General Dongmu pondered for a while and said, “Then, Elder Moon, can you bring me to meet my destined partner?
This matter concerns a lot of other issues. If Elder Moon can help me, I will definitely repay you in the future.”
Elder Moon smiled bitterly and said, “General Dongmu, I dare not be disrespectful. Please follow me.”
After saying that, Elder Yue brought General Dongmu to the hall at the back. He summoned the marriage clay figurines of General Dongmu, as well as the clay figurines of all the people who could marry him.
General Dongmu’s eyes lit up. He realized that there were four to five marriage clay figurines floating around him. The red strings of the clay figurines were all moving towards him.
“Have I always been targeted by these people?”
“General Dongmu, you’re trusted by His Majesty. You’re also a male immortal…”
“Elder Moon, don’t say that!”
General Dongmu cut off Elder Moon’s compliment and pondered for a while. Then, he carefully searched among the few clay figurines that were moving towards him.
It was also because of his good fortune and the time was right. Suddenly, an idea flashed across General Dongmu’s mind…
A few days ago, when he first met with the Sea God of the South Ocean together with His Majesty, the Sea God of the South Ocean had offered twelve expostulations to His Majesty. In the last one, there was a sentence that went “Use appearance to pursue peace and stability.”
General Dongmu remained silent and thought about it for a while…
It meant that he ought to try to make himself appear mediocre so that others would not be wary of him.
Pursue peace and stability, pursue peace and stability…
“Elder Moon!”
General Dongmu suddenly looked up, and his eyes flickered. He grabbed Elder Moon’s arm with his right hand, causing the latter to be so shocked that his voice changed.
“General Dongmu, how… how do you want the match to be made?”
General Dongmu stretched out his left hand and slowly swiped his five fingers across. He then clenched his fists.
“I want all of them!”
Elder Moon instantly shuddered.
What’s wrong with this General Dongmu? Previously, he had wanted to become a bachelor and not get involved in marriage, but now…
He was indeed an expert!
General Dongmu had a high position and authority. A small immortal like Elder Moon did not dare to say anything.
Moreover, the marriage clay figurines that Elder Moon had just summoned could indeed be married to General Dongmu. However, General Dongmu’s cultivation level was high. If he did not have the intention to marry, the red strings of the clay figurines could not be brought together. “Ah… yes, I’ll do it now,” Elder Moon replied softly and immediately started to get busy.
…
In the Immortal Du Sect, only one-third of the spiritual beast enclosure was completed.
The three eighteen-year-old female Qi Refinement cultivators who had been cultivating for tens of thousands of months, finally realized that if they continued to work while playing, they might not be able to finish repairing the place in ten to twenty years.
Thus, Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya discussed and decided to make Little Aunt-Master drunk. Then, the two of them started getting to work…
Their efficiency increased by more than ten times!
In just three months, a third of the place had been transformed!
In the past few days, Youqin Xuanya’s master urged her to go back and cultivate for a few months. Hence, Ling’e worked alone at various spots of the Spiritual beast enclosure.
There were still 1,600 copies of the Steadiness Sutra that she had to do.
She would have to work on the spiritual beast enclosure for at least half a year more…
At that thought of it, Ling’e sighed softly. She clutched her skirt and knelt on the grass beside the pool of the Spirit-Eating Jade Frogs, which she was mending.
Seriously… if it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to break down the walls of Senior Brother’s heart and make him develop some romantic thoughts, I wouldn’t have to suffer with Little Aunt-Master and Senior Sister Youqin.
Ling’e felt that she could not handle Senior Brother’s troublesome character alone. “Ling’e?”
A familiar greeting suddenly sounded beside her ear. Ling’e subconsciously jumped up and glared at her senior brother.
“Senior Brother! Why are you so quiet when you’re walking?!”
“Isn’t that how I walked over?” Li Changshou frowned and questioned, “Why are you spacing out and being completely distracted here? If an enemy were to ambush you, how will you deal with it?”
t the tip of her tongue and said aggrievedly, “I’ve been too tired recently… Furthermore, Senior Brother, you’ve been on the peak the entire time. How could anyone ambush you?”
Li Changshou’s frown eased a little, and his gaze became less stern. “After helping me for a while later, go and cultivate. Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu will be in charge of mending the spiritual beast enclosure.”
Ling’e immediately pursed her lips and chuckled. “Oh… how can I help you, Senior Brother?”
Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “Follow me.”
With that, Li Changshou and Ling’e went to the pavilion at the side. The building was built meticulously. The materials and paint were of high quality. If Li Changshou remembered correctly, the decoration of that place was personally done by Qin Xuanya…
As expected of a princess of the mortal world, the chess room that she created, exuded the noble and ostentatious aura of a royal casino!
Li Changshou took out a portrait of a handsome man from his sleeve. The handsome man was the appearance that he had “fixed” for the paper effigy.
Then, he secretly hung the portrait up and placed a pouch on the back of the portrait so that Ling’e could use her spiritual senses to look at it…
After a while, Li Changshou asked, “How is it?”
“What do you mean?” Ling’e blinked weakly.
Li Changshou said, “Did some images appear in your heart?”
“Huh?” Ling’e tilted her head. “This portrait is just a portrait. What… image am I supposed to see?”
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Continue looking.” “Okay,” Ling’e replied obediently. She sat down cross-legged and used her spiritual senses to continue scanning the portrait.
Li Changshou carefully sensed that there was indeed no change in Ling’e. “That doesn’t make sense.” Li Changshou put away the portrait and grabbed the pouch again. Then, he activated the seal on the pouch and sealed the pills inside…
At that moment, Ling’e heard a cry. Her face was flushed red. She exhaled softly and bit her lips hard. “Senior Brother…”
Li Changshou instantly sealed the pouch and casually lit up a Heart Cleansing Pill. He melted the medicinal essence and mixed it into a mist, before making it waft up into Ling’e’s nose.
A few moments later… Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Li Changshou with lingering fear. However, her face gradually turned red as she stammered, “Senior Brother, what did you do just now? If you are… if you… you actually don’t need to use such methods… Just say it…”
Li Changshou looked up at the sky and said, “Cultivate well. Don’t think too much. I’m just trying to test out the pills that are going to be given to Master.”
After that, Li Changshou lowered his head in confusion and walked away.
Is this pill useless to people who already have someone they fancy?
If that’s the case, when Uncle-Master Jiu Wu came to collect the Ambition Pill, he saw a portrait of a beauty and there was also this pill behind the portrait, so why did Uncle-Master Jiu Wu…
Are the medicinal properties unstable or was it Uncle-Master Jiu Wu himself…
*Hiss*…
Oh no, oh no.
“Senior Brother!”
Ling’e chased after him and held onto the door frame as she asked softly, “Do you want me to bring that thing with me and you try using your spiritual senses? You’ll only know the effect after experiencing it personally-‘
Li Changshou stopped in his tracks and waved his hand. He rode a cloud towards the Pill Chamber.
“Hmph! I knew you wouldn’t dare. You only know how to be steady and stable.”
Ling’e snorted, rolled her eyes, and walked briskly back to her room in the pavilion…
However, Li Changshou was already thinking about how he could improve the two types of pills that he had just created.
The immortal sense poisonous pills should be considered the creation of Elder Wan Linyun. Li Changshou had merely borrowed his idea to create an alternative…
At that moment, he had already produced two immortal sense pills. He had spent a huge amount of money to earn those herbs and treasures. However, the results were obvious. His trump card inventory had expanded again.
The type of pill that Li Changshou had put away was an orthodox anti-immortal-sense-detection Spirit Pill. It was named “Anti-reconnoitering Pill”. Li Changshou was not planning to give it to anyone.
Otherwise, if such pills were to spread, they might be used on him.
When the Anti-Reconnoitering Pill was with him, anyone who used their immortal senses to detect him would cause a wisp of spiritual mist to appear around him.
The spiritual mist could help Li Changshou find the person who was investigating him.
He named the second immortal sense pill ‘Flame of Heart Pill’
Li Changshou had been inspired by the Demon Enchantment Spell. He had used Love Stones and Love Wine as his foundation and had tried hundreds of times in the past few months. By chance, he had found the correct formula.
Elder Wan Linyun’s immortal sense poisonous pill actually worked by using the special toxic property of the Blue Crystal Divine Spiked Worm to injure the essence soul of the person who was investigating him.
The ‘Flame of Heart’ that Li Changshou had created was to replace the Blue Crystal Divine Spiked Worm with a ‘Love Gu’, borrowing the principle of the Enchantment Spell.
At the same time, after gaining permission to do so, Li Changshou specially used his master’s image to secretly look for the demonic vixen that was in the Perfected Immortal realm, and was trapped in the Earth Meridian Array in order to study the Enchantment Spell.
He concluded a few times and cleverly resolved the karma between the demonic vixen and his Little Qiong Peak.
As for the process…
That was not important. The other party had made a vow.
After adjusting the medicinal properties of the Flame of Heart for two months, Li Changshou placed one paper effigy, one Flame of Heart Pill, and one Anti-Reconnoitering Pill into a specially processed pouch.
Later, his Master only needed to bring the pouch with him and walk around.
If he encountered any immortal senses that were trying to detect something, Li Changshou would use the paper effigy to determine the other party’s condition. If he felt that the other party was not bad, he would open the restrictions posed by the Heart of Fire.
He must look for Uncle-Master’s reincarnation
However, in order to allow his master to leave his seclusion as soon as possible and receive the greetings and approval of the female Qi Refinement cultivators so that his master would be in less of a daze, that was all he could do as a disciple.
Li Changshou arranged the pouch and rode a cloud towards his master’s straw hut.
Li Changshou could not help but smile as he looked at the three figures who were getting busy again around the spiritual beast enclosure. They were much more serious than before.
However, before Li Changshou could fly to the straw hut, he had a sudden impulse.
He pinched his fingers and deduced that General Dongmu was waiting in the temple… Speaking of which, I have… ahem, 6692 temples. Why does General Dongmu always go to that one? Can’t he go to other hidden temples?
There is no way to hide. Sooner or later, people will notice it.
Li Changshou lamented in his heart. He decided to remind General Dongmu to hide his whereabouts.
He turned a corner on the cloud and returned to his straw hut.
At the same time, he was multitasking. While using the paper effigy to observe Old Man Wan Linyun, who was searching for poisonous bugs in the North Continent, he discovered that the elder was safe, so he activated the paper effigy under the Sea God Temple…
