My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 235 - t’s His Fault For…Being Too Proactive

Chapter 235 It’s His Fault For…Being Too Proactive
Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu…
Li Changshou obviously knew that that was a pain in his master, the Daoist Priest Qi Yuan’s heart that could not be erased.
Now, he had used a lie to deceive his master so as to minimize the latter’s pain. However, his master did not have much energy every day. He had been in low spirits and spending his days in a slump…
He really treated long durations of sleep as his cultivation!
It seemed that aside from helping Li Changshou and Ling’e achieve an immortal position in the Heavenly Courts and pave the way for them ahead of time, Qi Yuan no longer had any life goals.
It was too disrespectful to describe his master as a “salted fish”.
However, that term was indeed very vivid when applied toe Qi Yuan
Li Changshou, on the other hand, had been waiting. When his Grandmaster found his aunt-master’s reincarnation, his master… would have a hard time to flip over. It was still possible for him to jump a few times.
On the side of a cloud, Ling’e asked softly, “Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”
“I’m thinking about Master,” Li Changshou answered softly. Ling’e also looked a little worried.
Although one of them was overly stable, while the other was slightly unstable and was somewhat decreasing her lifespan, both of them were sincerely grateful to their master.
Old Daoist priest Qi Yuan’s relationship troubles…
There were a thousand years of resentment and they could only hear about reincarnation. Although Li Changshou had personally killed the culprit of the destruction of his master’s Dao base, he had also let the other party experience the feeling of his Dao base getting destroyed and facing the Thunder Tribulation.
However, the evil deeds that the other party had committed could not be completely made up for. Their master, Qi Yuan, could only turn into a Turbid Immortal before the Heavenly Tribulation.
In order to help his master, Li Changshou was forced to get involved with a series of karma.
Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu died tragically in the North Continent. Fortunately, her remnant soul protected her True Spirit and hence, she went to the Netherworld to reincarnate.
When Little Grandmaster returned to the mountain for the first time, Li Changshou could not bear for his master to become increasingly depressed. Therefore, he asked his Grandmaster to go to the Netherworld and search for the whereabouts of his Aunt-Master’s reincarnation. He also secretly gave his Little Grandmaster some hints.
Jiang Lin’er had just become a Heaven Immortal, so she naturally did not want to see her eldest disciple die so tragically.
Who was Unfettered Lin Jiang?
She had explored the world for so many years and everyone knew that she was extremely vicious!
Everyone knew that she was swift and decisive. She had friends all over the Minor Chiliocosm!
Hence, Jiang Lin’er used her friends to visit the Netherworld continuously and make connections.
After many twists and turns, he finally found the whereabouts of Wan Jiangyu.
Wan Jiangyu was currently in the form of a tree spirit.
as
The so-called tree spirit was a spirit body that was born from a tree spirit root. It was similar to a plant spirit. Although it had sentience, it was not complete. It mostly existed in places where life was rich and human presence was scarce. Usually, it would emit a healthy and vibrant glow.
Moreover, in this life, she still had some lifespan left…
Originally, Jiang Lin’er had already arranged the rest of the matters.
Jiang Lin’er had spent a lot of treasures and Spirit Stones to bribe a low-ranking official in the office of the Netherworld and was prepared to let him take action. When Wan Jiangyu reincarnated again, he would arrange for her to enter the Human Dao, be born into a wealthy family and live a carefree life.
The low-ranking official of the Netherworld would also leave a message for Jiang Lin’er to find her.
That kind of thing was often done by the low-ranking officials of the underworld. All of them were skilled and reliable. If they failed, they would return all the benefits!
In this era, the “moonlighting” done in the Netherworld office, which was a little chaotic, was actually the main income source of those low-ranking officials…
Li Changshou was riding on a cloud that was neither high nor low. He maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Li Changshou pondered over what exactly had happened. It even alarmed his Sect Leader.
Reincarnation…
Will it still be the same person after reincarnation?
Li Changshou knew very well that it was difficult to completely explain the matter of reincarnation.
After walking on the Bridge of Helplessness, one would lose all memories of the past.
Although the voice may be the same, it would no longer be the same person.
She would already become another person.
However, Jiang Lin’er wanted to do something for Wan Jiangyu.
As her master, Jiang Lin’er had gone out to search for her own opportunities and adventures in the past. As such, her two disciples had lost her protection and suffered a calamity. She was already responsible for that.
Moreover, as long as she found Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnation and told Qi Yuan the truth about what happened back then, Qi Yuan would be able to let go most of his misery even though he could only look at her from afar… As for whether his Grandmaster and Master would interfere with the life path of Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnate, Li Changshou had thought about it carefully…
The Ren School would abide by the motto of steadiness and peace, and would not interfere too much.
What Li Changshou did not know was… Jiang Lin’er had already made arrangements for the next reincarnation of Wan Jiangyu. She had even given the low-ranking officer of the Netherworld many Spirit Stones and precious materials. She had also specially changed a few cultivation techniques for him.
Unexpectedly, some changes happened again…
A few days ago, Jiang Lin’er had two good friends who came to visit her.
Those two good friends of Jiang Lin’er’s were supposed to be going to the Netherworld to ‘do something’. Due to the fact that they had made an agreement with Jiang Lin’er previously, they went to the Immortal Du Sect to ask if Jiang Lin’er wanted to tag along with them. At that time, Jiang Lin’er… Well, her body was unwell.
She asked her two good friends to bring some gifts and give them to the low-ranking official on her behalf, whom she had entrusted to carry out some tasks. She also wanted them to ask about the situation of her eldest disciple’s reincarnation and the remaining lifespan.
Jiang Lin’er’s two good friends did their best. They went to the Netherworld and asked someone to investigate. However, the result that the low-ranking official gave was… that nothing could be investigated about the True Spirit that was named Wan Jiangyu in one of her lives…
In front of Wang Qing’s residence, Li Changshou and Ling’e rode a cloud to the pavilion hanging on the cliff and performed a Dao salute at the door. Exalted Wang Qing’s eldest disciple, Jiu Yiyi, immediately went out to welcome them and led them in.
In the main hall, everyone looked worried.
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou, was seated on the main seat.
Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er were both dressed in white. They were seated on a chair each on the left.
At that moment, Jiang Lin’er’s eyes were red and she pursed her lips tightly. However, she did not break down emotionally.
The tree spirit was weak to begin with, and it could be considered as a medicinal herb. Many of the Spirit Pills had the pure vitality contained in the tree spirit as a catalyst.
Since Wan Jiangyu’s True Spirit could not be found, there were only two possibilities…
She had either been regarded as a herb by someone who then refined her, or had suffered a calamity in the land where she lived, causing her soul to be dispersed.
At the thought of that, Jiang Lin’er’s heart almost broke.
She only hated herself for not having the ability to find out the whereabouts of the reincarnated tree spirit…
When Li Changshou entered the pavilion, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou’s eyes lit up. There seemed to be hope in Jiang Lin’er’s eyes which were a little hopeless at first. Exalted Wang Qing was the only one who looked at Li Changshou with the kind look that most elders would give to their juniors.
Li Changshou led Ling’e forward and bowed. He greeted the Sect Leader, Exalted Wang Qing, and his Grandmaster.
Ji Wuyou squinted and nodded. He casually greeted, “Changshou, you’re here.” “Yes, I’m here…”
“Yes, it’s fine. I’ll deal with your Little Qiong Peak first.” Ji Wuyou said, “I was here to visit Wang Qing but I didn’t expect to run into you.’ Why does the Sect Leader… seem like he is trying to explain something?
Jiu Yiyi was confused. In her opinion, perhaps Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and that outstanding disciple of Little Qiong Peak… had some kind of long-lasting friendship. Suddenly, Jiu Yiyi thought of Li Changshou’s other identity-the genius alchemist of the sect!
The pills that he refined were extremely popular among the elders. It was even difficult to obtain one.
Could it be that the Sect Leader…
Yeah, although the Sect Leader does not have a Dao companion, he does look a little weak.
In an instant, Jiu Yiyi thought of many things.
Li Changshou asked softly, “Grandmaster, you asked me to come… What’s wrong?”
Jiang Lin’er sighed softly and whispered, “An hour ago, a good friend of mine sent a message through a communication jade token. Your Aunt-Master suddenly disappeared in this life. She could not be found anywhere in the Netherworld. We do not know if she is dead or alive! Changshou, what… what should we do? She did not have much lifespan in this life in the first place. I have already thought of how she could cultivate and become an immortal after she reincarnated. How could such a thing happen for no reason!?! Heaven is really blind. Why did my First Disciple suffer so much hardship!?!”
On the side, Exalted Wang Qing extended his hand and patted Jiang Lin’er’s arm gently.
He comforted her gently, “This is just a message from the Netherworld. The situation is not that serious. Lin’er, don’t worry too much. There is still a chance to turn the situation around.”
Li Changshou frowned when he heard that, but he did not say anything. He lowered his head slightly and thought carefully.
In fact, he could not think of any other possibilities. The tree spirits were weak creatures. It was not rare for them to be captured, killed, and captured to refine pills. However, it was hard to accept that something like that had happened to someone who was close to them.
*Coughs*
Ji Wuyou could not help but cough.
Today, the Sect Leader’s cough was relatively light. At least, he did not vomit blood.
It was probably because the injuries to his Essence Soul had been reduced significantly.
The Sect Leader said warmly, “In my opinion, rather than making wild guesses here, we should send someone to the Netherworld to investigate.”
Jiang Lin’er had originally wanted to nod immediately. She then looked up at Li Changshou with an inquisitive gaze. Clearly, in Jiang Lin’er’s judgment, the one who had the most ideas was not Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, but his little grand-disciple…
“Pardon me for speaking boldly. Actually, the Sect Leader is right. This matter can only be known after we go to the Netherworld.”
Li Changshou bowed slightly and continued, “Why don’t Grandmaster bring me to the Netherworld to investigate this matter in detail?”
Later on, he naturally used the paper effigy to head there together with his grandmaster.
Jiang Lin’er immediately nodded and agreed. Before she could say anything, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou stood up and naturally lifted the hem of his Daoist robe.
“Then, let’s not delay. Let’s set off now!”
At that moment, everyone in the room fell silent, so much that they could hear the pin drop. All of them had different expressions.
They thought, Since when did the Sect Leader care so much about the matter of Little Qiong Peak?
Ji Wuyou said calmly, “It just so happens that Elder Wang Qing is preparing to transcend the tribulation and cannot move about. It just so happens that I have been in deep thought recently and want to go out and move around. Therefore, I can go to the Netherworld to enjoy the scenery.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Do you need to say ‘It just so happens’ in order to make your logic clear?
After hearing that, Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er looked at each other and smiled. Both of them were puzzled.
Jiu Yiyi, who was usually elegant and beautiful, shifted her beautiful eyes back and forth between her master and the Sect Leader.
That was a story.
On the other hand, the Little Smart Imp Ling’e, who was usually quick-witted, blinked gently. Her gaze shifted back and forth on her Grandmaster, Exalted Wang Qing, and the Sect Leader.
That was another story.
Exalted Wang Qing then said, “Sect Leader, you still have to guard the sect. You cannot act rashly. This matter involves Lin’er’s beloved disciple. I have to accompany Lin’er to investigate this matter.”
“Hey, it’s fine.” Ji Wuyou waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it, Wang Qing. Right now, our Immortal Du Sect is nothing but steady! There is no point in me staying in the sect and guarding it. Instead, it is… ahem! In this case, this matter is decided. We will set off in an hour!
Take it as the Sect Leader’s Order.
Both of you, prepare well. I will prepare some gifts. There are a few familiar faces in the Netherworld office.”
As Ji Wuyou spoke, he left the pavilion with his hands behind his back, leaving the few of them to look at each other.
What’s wrong with the Sect Leader today?
He rarely walks around the sect. Why did he suddenly behave this way… Li Changshou understood something and did not say anything. He said to Jiang Lin’er, “I’ll go back and change my clothes first. Then, I’ll take Ling’e away from the Wang Qing Residence and quickly return to Little Qiong Peak.” The so-called change of clothes was actually just a change of paper effigy.
It would be too dangerous for him to go out with his Sect Leader, who was a Golden Immortal whose combat power was measured by units, using his main body. To be safe, Li Changshou used the best paper effigy that he had made and perfectly attached his aura to it. He then prepared a few spare paper effigies.
He instructed Ling’e to not reveal that matter…
“Senior Brother, can’t I go with you?” Ling’e asked pitifully.
“The spiritual energy in the Netherworld is mottled, and it is full of Yin aura and ghosts. You will damage your Dao base if you touch any of them.”
Li Changshou explained a few things to her, but he still reminded her worriedly, “If Master asks about what we are doing outside…”
“I’ll just say that Grandmaster had brought you along to discuss the Dao outside, together with the Sect Leader!”
“You’ve become smarter recently.” Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed Ling’e’s head, causing her hair to be slightly messy. “Alright, I’ll go now.”
Then, Li Changshou turned around and walked towards… the Pill Chamber.
His main body turned into a wisp of smoke and went to the secret underground chamber.
At the same time, the meditation cushion in front of the Pill Furnace swayed gently. Li Changshou’s figure grew out again. That was naturally the incarnation of the paper effigy.
Ling’e blinked and asked softly with some hesitation in her eyes, “Senior Brother, is there any difference between this and your main body? Why can’t I tell?”
Li Changshou thought for a while and concluded, “This paper effigy is just an illusion. No matter how real its appearance is, it is only condensed using mystical abilities. It is similar to a concealment spell. It can fight with others, but it also can’t do anything.”
Ling’e nodded in confusion and watched Li Changshou’s incarnation leave the Pill Chamber.
Initially, Ling’e still felt reluctant to part with him. However, she looked down and knew that her senior brother was hiding in a rift of a rock on the Little Qiong Peak…
Ah, Senior Brother’s character is really… indescribable.
He is too mysterious. It is simply breathtaking!
