My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 280 - Everything Is… a Choice

Chapter 280 Everything Is… a Choice

“Senior Sister Jiu, what is that golden light?”
In the chess room of Little Qiong Peak, when the merit descended, the young girl, Yushi, who was dressed in her training attire, asked that question softly. Jiu Jiu, who was curled up on the window sill, yawned lazily. She turned to look out the window, the jade wine gourd in her hand swaying gently.
The wine gourd was a congratulatory gift from her Disciple-Nephew, Li Changshou, after she had become a Heaven Immortal. It could contain several jars of fine wine and could also improve the taste of the wine.
Jiu Yushi blinked and hurriedly said, “It was here just now. Why did it disappear?” “That direction… Hey!”
Jiu Jiu waved her hand and explained nonchalantly, “That’s the Pill Chamber on the Little Qiong Peak. It’s considered your Eldest Disciple-Nephew Changshou’s exclusive cultivation place. He must have made some pills. Junior Sister, don’t worry too much about that side. Your Disciple-Nephew is very mysterious. He’s clearly just a little disciple, but… Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hehe.”
“What’s wrong with my senior brother?”
Ling’e, who was meditating on the bed in the corner, opened her eyes and asked softly. Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “There was a stream of golden light just now… Uh, why is the Sect Leader here?”
Upon hearing the words ‘Sect Leader’, Ling’e and Jiu Yushi gathered by the window and looked at the sky of the Little Qiong Peak.
Ji Wuyou came and left quickly. He mumbled in the air and left with his hands behind his back.
He was only in charge of washing the ground. As long as the Immortal Du Sect was not destroyed, he could do whatever he wanted.
“Sect Leader, do you have an array formation here?”
Jiu Jiu tilted her head and muttered, “Why do I feel that the Sect Leader seems to be helping someone cover up? That’s strange.”
“Aunt-Master, you’re thinking too much.”
Ling’e said softly. She, who was dressed in a light green tassel dress, looked even more beautiful and charming. “Senior Brother, how can you be so capable as to let the Sect Leader cover for you?”
“Who can say for sure what’s going on in this world?”
Jiu Jiu spread her hands. “Before I brought your senior brother to the North Continent that year, I would never have thought that today, I would be raised by an ordinary disciple from Little Qiong Peak like your senior brother. Look at me now. I drink your senior brother’s wine, use your senior brother’s pills, eat your senior brother’s spiritual beasts, and sleep here at your senior brother’s place. If your senior brother has any improper requests for me, I would be too embarrassed to reject him.”
Ling’e immediately supported her forehead with her hand. She felt that her Little Aunt-Master was looking for an excuse to attack her senior brother…
Yushi was puzzled. “Senior Sister, aren’t you an elder?” “Silly child.” Jiu Jiu raised her hand and patted the young girl Yushi’s head. She said gently, “When you grow up and have a cultivation level, you will know how good this Disciple-Nephew is. What elders? Doesn’t your Spirit Pill that is meant for curbing hunger pangs smell good?”
“It does! However, is this Grandmaster Changshou really that… mystical?”
At that moment, a confident reply came from outside the door. “Of course.”
Jiu Jiu chuckled and mocked, “I knew that you would rush over to the Little Qiong Peak as soon as there’s any movement!” Outside the pavilion, a beautiful figure accompanied Jiu Jiu’s teasing.
She was dressed in an icy-blue dress, and she was wearing white cloth shoes. Her ankles were tied with an icy-blue ribbon, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail. She walked over with light footsteps.
There was no need to say anything more about her slender legs and waist. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and she looked heroic and gentle. Naturally, she was the pure and cold fairy that many Immortal Du Sect disciples yearned for…
She was Youqin Xuanya.
“Greetings, Aunt-Masters.” Youqin Xuanya bowed. Jiu Yushi quickly returned the greeting, while Jiu Jiu smiled happily.
Ling’e, who was at the side, asked gently, “Did Senior Sister get alarmed by the golden light?”
“Yes.” Youqin Xuanya nodded gently. Then, she looked at Jiu Yushi and said seriously, “Aunt-Master Yushi, you mentioned Senior Brother Changshou just now.”
She continued, “Actually, there is no need to doubt that. Senior Brother Changshou is not just mystical. In my eyes, he should be a unique and unparalleled Qi Refinement cultivator. He is knowledgeable. Not only does he know the cultivation method, but he also has a deep understanding of the Dao of Inaction. He is also good at array formations, alchemy, writing, and music. He is also proficient in the ways of the world and can handle everything. Moreover, Senior Brother Changshou is the most…”
“Senior Sister!”
Ling’e hurriedly walked up and grabbed Youqin Xuanya’s hand. “Let’s go upstairs and talk about this. Don’t say this in front of Aunt-Master Yushi.”
Youqin Xuanya was confused. “Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
“Well, no.” Ling’e blinked.
How should I phrase it?
I can’t possibly say that I have to prevent Aunt-Master Yushi from falling for his senior brother…
“Ah, let’s go!”
Ling’e ignored everything and used her coquettish technique to pull Youqin Xuanya towards the stairs at the side.
Although Youqin Xuanya did not understand what was going on, she still allowed Ling’e to pull her to the second floor and whisper to her.
Beside the window, Jiu Yushi’s face was full of confusion. She looked at Jiu Jiu for help.
Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Do you see that? That Disciple-Nephew Changshou is terrifying.”
Jiu Yushi was even more confused. “About this… Senior Sister, can you explain in more detail?”
“Look at Ling’e and Xuanya. They are both rare cultivation talents in the Immortal Du Sect. There’s no need to mention their looks and figures. As a woman, I think that they are very beautiful.”
As she spoke, Jiu Jiu looked down at her chest and sighed. “This is the only advantage I have.”
Jiu Yushi was even more confused. “Does this have anything to do with Disciple-Nephew Changshou?”
Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Can’t you tell that Lingle and Xuanya are in love with Changshou?”
“I can tell…”
“Qi Refinement cultivators are not like the mortal world where men can have many concubines. The Dao couples of Qi Refinement cultivators mostly only consist of a male and a female.”
Jiu Jiu sighed and said, “Look, two beautiful women like you have fallen in love with Changshou. Changshou is so fragrant. Do you understand?”
Jiu Yushi looked enlightened and nodded seriously.
Jiu Jiu sighed again and said, “The key is that Ling’e and Xuanya are still on good terms with each other. They did not get jealous at all. Your senior sister, I, can’t even watch a good show after so many years.”
“That’s right.” Jiu Yushi said in a low voice, “On careful thought, this is quite magical.”
“Something even more amazing has happened.” Jiu Jiu spread her hands. “According to what I know, the two of them have expressed their feelings for Changshou. Ling’e has also set her goal of winning her Senior Brother’s heart. Xuanya also mentions her Senior Brother Changshou all the time. Even if Changshou were to two-time the both of them, they would probably agree without hesitation. However, Changshou… rejected both of them.”
“Huh?”
Jiu Yushi widened her eyes. “These two sisters… Uh, these two Disciple-Nieces are already capable women. Is Disciple-Nephew Changshou still not satisfied?”
“Look, you don’t understand, right?”
“Senior Sister, please enlighten me.”
Jiu Jiu smiled calmly and shrugged her shoulders. She sighed dejectedly and said, “Actually, I don’t understand why either. However, I feel that it’s quite normal. It’s indeed something that Little Changshou would do. Perhaps, Changshou is afraid that his Dao companion will be more troublesome and bring more karma to him.”
Jiu Yushi was puzzled. “Why would there be more karma? Aren’t they already his junior sisters?”
“It’s probably because Xuanya is only Changshou’s junior sister now. If she encounters danger outside, Changshou will probably fly over slowly and formulate a plan to save her. If Xuanya becomes Changshou’s Dao companion, Changshou would fly over and save her without thinking. There is still a difference.”
Jiu Jiu removed the wine stopper and raised her head to take a sip.
Jiu Yushi lowered her head and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she asked, “What about you, Senior Sister? Senior Sister, you should have taken a liking to Disciple-Nephew Changshou, right?”
“Pfft, ahem, ahem, ahem! Don’t spout nonsense!”
They heard light footsteps from the side. Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya’s skirts fluttered as they walked over together. They began to ask about the results of Jiu Yushi’s half a month of cultivation and diverted the topic away from their senior brother.
Not long after, the pavilion was filled with chatter and laughter.
A white-haired old Daoist priest, who was pretending to pass by, stopped in his tracks. He turned a corner and walked to the spiritual beast enclosure next door with his hands behind his back to check the health of the spiritual beasts.
That was the Peak Leader’s inspection, which was a rare occurrence on the Little Qiong Peak.
“Lu Ya.”
In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back. As he observed the situation in the sect, he thought about the mission that the Jade Emperor had just given
him.
How long has it been since I ascended to the Heavenly Courts? Why have I started helping the Jade Emperor do dirty work?
Um..
In his original plan, he should have let Daoist Wen Jing do the work.
Unfortunately, Daoist Wen Jing could not be exposed yet…
How could Daoist Lu Ya be so easy to deal with?
Due to the existence of the Seven Arrows Book, he now had another reason to not expose his true identity.
Actually, although it was difficult to get rid of Daoist Lu Ya, it was not impossible.
However, the risks were too great. If he was not careful, he would become Lu Ya’s mortal enemy.
Secondly, the karma was too great.
According to the ancient books of the Dao Sect, everything that had not happened had already evolved in the Heavenly Dao.
If he destroyed Lu Ya, the script of the God-Conferment Tribulation would definitely change. There would be a huge chain effect behind it, causing countless unknown things.
Li Changshou did not want to plot to become a god. He could not even avoid it.
In the God-Conferment Tribulation, apart from the Deity Position, merit, and some opportunities to obtain numinous treasures, there was nothing much to plan.
Of course, according to Li Changshou’s own understanding, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was only a possibility in the future for the Primordial World where he was at that time.
If Lu Ya was gone, the possibility would change.
However, at the same time, the Heavenly Dao had the power to retract the various World Threads. At a certain node in the future, the possibility of returning to its original state would remain unchanged…
Yes, it was all the choice of the Fortune Jade Disc!
“This matter cannot be rushed. I need to plan step by step. There are many implications…”
Li Changshou stretched his back. All sorts of complicated thoughts ran through his mind. He then saw his master strolling around the spiritual beast enclosure. After some thought, he left the Pill Chamber and rode a cloud over.
Xiong Lingli was following behind Qi Yuan excitedly. She described the story of every spiritual beast in detail, from reproduction, delivery, feeding, slaughtering, cooking, and handling the trash in the kitchen…
“Cousin is here!”
Xiong Lingli noticed Li Changshou first and waved her hand excitedly.
Li Changshou smiled and walked forward. He bowed and greeted his master before “strolling” with him.
Not long after, Li Changshou brought his master to the royal chess room of the Little Qiong Peak. Jiu Jiu, Ling’e, and Youqin Xuanya were teaching Jiu Yushi how to circulate her aura and sense the natural Dao runes.
The three of them were among the younger generation in the sect. Among the younger generation, those who were talented in comprehension and had high aptitudes could be counted on one hand. They were naturally more than competent enough to guide Jiu Yushi.
“Senior Brother Changshou!”
When Youqin Xuanya saw Li Changshou, her entire body lit up. She shouted and took a step forward, taking the initiative to welcome him.
“Senior Brother… Uh, Master!”
Ling’e was just about to light herself up when she saw her master, after which she quickly withered again. She hurriedly bowed.
Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, smiled mischievously. “Senior Brother Qi Yuan, what brings you here?”
Qi Yuan coughed and smiled.
“I’m just here to visit my two junior sisters. Well, there are not many treasures on the Little Qiong Peak. It’s just peaceful. Junior Sisters, if you lack anything, please tell me.”
Jiu Yushi hid behind Jiu Jiu and quickly bowed. She said softly, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Although Qi Yuan’s expression was calm, his arm trembled slightly.
Li Changshou took half a step forward, just in time to cover up his master’s loss of composure.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry. I’ve already made arrangements.”
“Aiyaya.” Jiu Jiu looked at the sky calmly. “Senior Brother Qi Yuan, your two junior sisters have not had enough wine recently.”
Qi Yuan hurriedly said, “Yushi has yet to embark on the path of cultivation. She’s still young. I don’t dare to let her drink! Especially the Immortal Spiritual Wine!” Jiu Jiu blinked. Just as she was about to extort Li Changshou, she could not help but feel a little guilty. She quickly explained that she had not given Jiu Yushi any wine…
Li Changshou chuckled and took out another treasure pouch. There were fine wine and Spirit Pills inside. He had already prepared them for Jiu Jiu.
After staying with his master for a while, Li Changshou left with his master.
It could be seen that his master was already quite satisfied. On the way back, he kept muttering,
“She actually called me Senior Brother. How wonderful.”
Li Changshou reminded him tactfully, “Master, you should put yourself in a younger state of mind. The appearance comes from the heart.”
Qi Yuan put on a serious expression and chided, “What do you mean? Am I such a person? I’m already more than a thousand years old. How old is she!?!”
“Master, you have to look at this problem from a long-term perspective.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s like this now. What about a thousand years later? What about two thousand years later? What about three thousand years later? Master, do you feel that you can accept it?” Qi Yuan could not help but be stunned. However, he still sighed dejectedly. He waved his hand and rode the cloud away.
Li Changshou chuckled and returned to the Pill Chamber. Let Master be.
Li Changshou continued to think about Lu Ya.
That matter was just like his Tribulation Transcendence. If he did not have a 90% chance of success, it was best not to take the initiative to attack.
However, just because he did not attack did not mean that Lu Ya would not attack him…
Li Changshou returned to the secret underground chamber and looked at the word ‘stable’ that was hanging on the wall. Then, he looked at the numinous treasure map that had just been hung up.
In the end, it was still a matter of strength.
Now, his Dao realm had already advanced very slowly. His epiphany would only happen once every half a month. The Numinous Treasure was indeed a convenient path to improve himself and enrich himself.
Sitting behind the desk, Li Changshou took out a stack of paper effigies and began to create the latest version of paper effigies. He picked up a pen and wrote the word ‘treasure’ behind the paper effigies.
Half a month later, more than twenty new paper effigies that were comparable to the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm stood neatly on the table and saluted Li Changshou.
Li Changshou snapped his fingers. The paper effigies turned around at the same time and jumped into the backpack of the paper effigy with the word ‘Carriage’.
The ‘Carriage’ paper effigy transformed into a young girl and used Earth Escape to disappear.
Let’s get to work!
