Chapter 144 - Only Little Aunt-Master Can Defeat Little Aunt-Master!
Chapter 144 Only Little Aunt-Master Can Defeat Little Aunt-Master!
Li Changshou felt a little disappointed when he heard that his Grandmaster would not stay in the sect for long.
He had originally planned to let his Grandmaster participate in the construction of the array formation and obtain more precious materials for Little Qiong Peak…
Ahem, those were actually not important.
If she had only come back to take a look and stay for a few days, it would not be a bad thing since Little Qiong Peak would be able to maintain its stability and peace.
Li Changshou had a plan in his mind. After Jiang Lin’er finished entrusting him, he said, “Grandmaster, I have two things that I’ve been hiding from Master, but I have to tell you about it.”
“What is it that you need to hide from your master, but you have to report to me?” Jiang Lin’er sized Li Changshou up and down. Naturally, she did not notice anything unusual. She had fought outside all year round and developed a sharp intuition.
At that moment, her intuition told her that among her disciple and two grand-disciples, the grand-disciple in front of her, whom she was meeting for the first time and who was in the Dao Requital realm was actually… much more reliable than her second disciple…
Li Changshou deliberately put on a helpless expression and answered, “Master can get emotional rather easily, so I have to hide it from him. However, Grandmaster, your mind must be very resolute. You won’t do something that you will regret, in a moment of impulse.”
Jiang Lin’er’s fingers trembled slightly. She immediately said, “Could it be that.. something happened to your Aunt-Master?”
She is indeed a smart person.
In this case, I will be able to save a lot of effort when I speak next.
Li Changshou sighed and said, “Back then, Aunt-Master went to the North Continent to pick herbs and was injured by a poisonous beast. The sect’s executives could not save him in time. Aunt-Master had already reincarnated more than eight hundred years
ago.”
Jiang Lin’er closed her eyes and her breath trembled for a while. Soon, she exhaled.
“Is this related to the Immortal Downpour Peak as well?”
“Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu was looking for a precious herb to repair Master’s Dao base. It was because Daoist Kuai Si of the Immortal Downpour Peak harbored designs. It is naturally related to him.”
Jiang Lin’er clenched her left fist and the White Tiger’s Soul Saber let out a low growl.
“Do you know how Daoist Kuai Si died!?! He was killed by an external enemy. He really got lucky!”
e
Li Changshou pondered for a while and looked at Jiang Lin’er. After Jiang Lin’er calmed down, he said, “This is the second thing I have to report to you. I had a dream one day and coincidentally, I dreamed of… a place.
It seemed to be a small town at the border of the North Continent. Daoist Kuai Si realized that someone was pretending to be him, so he chased after them.
Daoist Kuai Si was ruthless. He wanted to kill the person who pretended to be him, but he was knocked unconscious by that person who used a poisonous pill.
That person brought Daoist Kuai Si to a canyon and destroyed his Dao base with a poisonous pill. Then, he used the Lightning Dharma Array to simulate an immortal Heavenly Tribulation and blasted his body, causing his body to die and his soul to dissipate.
Then, that person entered the North Continent as Daoist Kuai Si and disappeared.
I woke up as well.”
“Alright!” Jiang Lin’er gritted her teeth and cursed. “If I don’t do that, it will be hard for my hatred to subside!”
Then, Jiang Lin’er closed her eyes and focused. The aura around her gradually returned to peace.
When Jiang Lin’er opened her eyes, her face could not help but turn gloomy. She sat on the round chair and quietly fell into a daze.
Li Changshou did not say much and just waited quietly.
Jiang Lin’er adjusted her emotions quickly and whispered, “Later, I will search through the five continents and the trichiliocosm. I will try my best to find your Aunt-Master’s reincarnation.”
“Grandmaster, perhaps it’s a good idea to bring some gifts to Hell as a disciple of Ren School, and find out from the ghost servants.”
Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. “If my cultivation level is not too low and I can’t enter Hell through the City God Temple of the mortal world, I would definitely have tried asking.” “Yes! Why didn’t I think of that… Eh?”
Jiang Lin’er looked at Li Changshou suspiciously.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. This grandmaster was indeed not easy to deceive.
However, it was nothing much. At that moment, he was already prepared to take action at any time and defeat this grandmaster.
Li Changshou looked at Jiang Lin’er calmly. He did not feel guilty at all.
Jiang Lin’er muttered, “It seems that Second Disciple has accepted an impressive disciple.”
“My junior sister Ling’e is indeed outstanding,” Li Changshou said. “I’m very impressed to see your heroic bearing today, Grandmaster. However, Grandmaster, it’s best not to tell others about what I have seen in my dream.”
Jiang Lin’er said calmly, “Am I such a careless person? How… did the person in your dream do it?” “This is what I don’t know.” “Don’t know? It’s good that you don’t know.” Jiang Lin’er nodded slowly. “I can tell that you’ve taken good care of Second Disciple. It’s been hard on you.”
Li Changshou bowed and said, “I was wrong just now. Please forgive me, Grandmaster.”
“Why? I’ve seen many extraordinary people and strange people in the various years that I’ve spent outside the sect. It’s not unusual. In the end, what happened to Second Disciple is still my fault. I was not in the sect and could not protect them. I let the two of them suffer a huge grievance…”
Jiang Lin’er looked down at her hands and suddenly raised her hand!
Li Changshou subconsciously took a step back and held a carving knife in his left palm.
At the same time, dozens of array foundations in Little Qiong Peak shone brightly. The paper effigy on Li Changshou’s sleeve had already removed the stopper of a porcelain bottle and could activate the medicinal power at any time!
However… Jiang Lin’er raised her hand and slapped herself.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Grandmaster, it’s very easy for something to happen to you if you act so suddenly.
Following that, Jiang Lin’er’s face swelled up, and blood flowed from the corners of her lips. Tears flickered in her eyes, but she quickly sniffled and endured it.
She stood up and said, “I’ll go to Hell now.”
“Grandmaster, there’s no hurry,” Li Changshou hurriedly said. “You just returned to the sect. You should spend more time with my master! I’ve been hiding this from him all this while. I even used some tricks to deceive him. I said that Aunt-Master does not want to meet him, and that he’s being sad because of that…”
“That’s right. There’s no need to rush this. I’ve been a little lost.”
Jiang Lin’er sat back in her chair and raised her hand to flatten her swollen face.
She then thought of something and looked at Li Changshou, forcing an ugly smile.
“Are you… the reincarnation of an expert?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “When I was young, I was accepted into the sect by Master. I had been following him in your cultivation. Grandmaster, you can ask Master about it.”
Jiang Lin’er asked again, “Why did Elder Wan Linyun protect me today? I had no interaction with that Elder.”
“I received a few Poison Sutras from Elder Wan Linyun, and I often interact with Elder Wan. Elder Wan treats me very well.”
Flawless. Jiang Lin’er thought for a while and understood something. She smiled bitterly and said, “With you by Second Disciple’s side, I don’t have to worry anymore. Your name is Changshou, right?”
“I’m here.”
“Do you have anything you want?”
Li Changshou shook his head. Instead, he took out a treasure pouch and handed it over with immortal power.
There were many pills that could heal, strengthen one’s body, restore one’s immortal power, and two pills that could stabilize severe injuries.
“This is a small token of filial piety from me. They are all pills that I have obtained from Elder Wan. Please accept them, Grandmaster. Please don’t tell anyone.”
Jiang Lin’er grabbed the treasure pouch and scanned it with her immortal senses. Then, her mouth twitched.
Li Changshou said, “Grandmaster, you live a hectic lifestyle outside the sect. You should take care of yourself.”
“You…” Jiang Lin’er did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She suddenly realized that the total value of spirit stones, precious materials, and pills in the two storage Dharma treasures that she had just given out, was less than thirty percent of the value of the elixirs in that treasure pouch…
Moreover, a Spirit Pill that could save lives was extremely precious to a Heaven Immortal who had just broken through and was often in life-and-death situations.
Jiang Lin’er kept the treasure pouch in a thick-skinned manner and felt awkward.
Hence, she stood up and patted her chest. She patted the armor and said firmly, “I, Jiang Lin’er, will definitely make friends with someone like you!”
“Grandmaster, I’m your grand-disciple.”
Jiang Lin’er said leisurely, “Let’s just be friends privately. Don’t make me feel that I’m too useless.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“As long as you’re happy. Please guide my master when he’s on the peak, Grandmaster.”
“Don’t worry. I was only planning to stay in the sect for three days but on your account… I’ll stay for half a month this time before going back.”
Li Changshou wanted to ask more about the trichiliocosm, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything.
If he asked more, it would be easy to get karma.
Soon, Jiang Lin’er and Li Changshou finished talking. They broke the array formation and pushed open the wooden door, allowing the people outside to enter together.
Jiang Lin’er’s emotions had already recovered. She did not seem to have heard Li Changshou mention those two matters. She started to praise Ling’e’s aptitude after saying that Qi Yuan was useless. The others looked at Li Changshou suspiciously. Qi Yuan could not help but pull Li Changshou aside and ask him what he had told his Grandmaster.
Li Changshou had long thought of an excuse. He only said that his Grandmaster had lectured him and given him some benefits so that he could protect Little Qiong Peak in the future.
Qi Yuan… believed him.
The sight of blood on the Immortal Downpour Peak today seemed to be filled with an unyielding atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Little Qiong Peak was already bustling with activity.
Standing beside the stove, Li Changshou and Lan Ling’e looked at each other and smiled. They were getting busy with Youqin Xuanya.
However, Youqin Xuanya was only trying the dishes as she did not dare to interfere with other tasks.
Ling’e found an opportunity and asked softly, “Regarding Grandmaster, have you settled it?”
Li Changshou pursed her lips and said, “It’s not safe yet. When Grandmaster is in the sect, you should follow her and serve her.”
“Alright,” Ling’e agreed and continued to work.
In the evening, a banquet was held in the straw hut.
Apart from the three Jiu immortals, no other guests came to disturb them.
Li Changshou reminded Jiu Wu again. Jiu Wu gave him a reassuring look.
Jiu Wu was afraid that he would say something wrong after drinking, so he did not drink much.
Jiang Lin’er drank a lot too. After drinking three cups of wine, she revealed a heroic spirit that was rare for Qi Refinement cultivators.
She took off her armor and wore a short, rough blouse. Beneath it, she was wrapped tightly in a tube top.
Li Changshou took a few more looks with the attitude of a student. It seems that there is really… not much of an arc…
Thus, Ling’e became much closer to her Grandmaster, and her Grandmaster gradually began to get increasingly angry at Little Jiu Jiu. She coerced Jiu Jiu into a drinking contest.
However… Jiu Jiu was the last disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. She had been swimming in the wine vat since she was young. She had cultivated for thousands of years and had never stopped drinking. Her liquor level was splendid!
Not long after, Jiang Lin’er became a little tipsy. Jiu Jiu smacked her lips, but she had yet to get excited…
Qi Yuan asked, “Master, how have you been in the past thousand years?”
“Not bad.”
Jiang Lin’er’s expression was a little complicated. There was joy and bitterness. Most of the time, she felt emotional.
Jiang Lin’er patted Qi Yuan’s shoulder and said calmly, “I have a lot of bad friends now. You have some uncles and aunts outside the sect. Don’t worry, I will definitely not let them take advantage of you.”
Qi Yuan smiled bitterly.
Jiang Lin’er sighed and stretched her back. She said, “It’s my good fortune to be able to see you today. Originally, I did not have any hopes of breaking through to the Heaven Immortal realm. A few years ago, I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Suddenly, a gleam of light flickered in my heart and I made a breakthrough.
Indeed, the thousand-year luck path had been used for this breakthrough.
I have a good friend who is good at divination. After that, he even made divination for me. He said that I had obtained the help of a benefactor and that my luck had been raised…”
As she spoke, Jiang Lin’er looked at Li Changshou and clucked her tongue against the roof of her mouth while smiling. Then, she said meaningfully, “Now, I understand something.”
The short Daoist, Jiu Wu, smiled and said, “The concept of luck is somewhat ethereal.”
“That’s because you don’t know how to look at Qi,” Jiang Lin’er snapped while Jiu Wu kept smiling.
Jiang Lin’er’s face was a little red. She suddenly said, “Has your master… found a Dao companion in the past thousand years?”
“Of course not,” Jiu Jiu replied. “My master is a sentimental person. He will not fall for anyone.”
“Will not fall for anyone?” Jiang Lin’er snorted. “He was the one who changed his Dao name to Exalted Wang Qing back then. If you don’t believe me, go and ask him… However, come to think of it…”
Jiang Lin’er stood up unsteadily and appeared behind Jiu Jiu. She looked down at Jiu Jiu.
“I understand the logic, but why is it so… Pst…”
Jiu Jiu felt a little guilty for some reason. The memories that had been concealed by alcohol surfaced quietly.
A thousand years ago, she seemed to have been frequently…
Jiu Jiu shuddered and was about to stand up and dodge when Jiang Lin’er stopped her. Jiu Jiu could not move.
“Aunt-Master Jiang, don’t do anything rash! I’m over a thousand years old!”
“What’s so great about being more than a thousand years old? Your master and I entered the sect at the same time. You brat! Let me check. You must have hidden your sins!”
“Ah! Changshou, control your Grandmaster!”
“Hehe… I’m the one with the highest authority here. If your master doesn’t come, what should I be afraid of?”
At the side, Ling’e, Li Changshou, and Youqin Xuanya suddenly realized something.
They seemed to have found the source of Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s occasional unruly behavior…
However, even though he was fooling around, Li Changshou still maintained his habit of monitoring the Immortal Downpour Peak.
Judging from the reaction from the other side, there would still be some trouble to deal with later.
