My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 321

Chapter 321 Take Care, Jie School
In the peach blossom forest, Li Changshou took the initiative to ask. Fairy Yun Xiao slowly answered, “In my eyes, you… are good at scheming and you know when to advance and retreat. You’re cautious and you don’t get involved with karma. You share many similarities with me. Although you are a Postnatal life form who has only cultivated for a few hundred years, you are already standing tall in the world. Even without mentioning your Dao heritage, you are still unique.” Li Changshou felt a little guilty. He felt that Ling’e’s complaints about him were closer to his true self. That was the common saying, “At the first glance, everything is beautiful, but the rest of your life is messy.” Yun Xiao asked softly, “Is there anything inappropriate about that?” “Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao, we have to be honest,” Li Changshou said seriously. “How can those who are not Saints not make any mistakes?”

Yun Xiao smiled more and her steps became lighter. She said gently, “Then, you are sometimes cautious and overcautious when you do things. You are always sticking by the rules. Sometimes, you have too many schemes. You seem a little deep. Are you going to get angry with me for saying that?” “Well, after hearing what you said, I will still feel a little disappointed.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He continued, “It’s my turn to tell you what I think of you…” “You are different from the people in the mortal world. When I first saw you on Three-Immortal Island, I suddenly felt like I seem to have seen you somewhere before. After hearing you reprimand Fairy Qiong Xiao and Fairy Bi Xiao, I felt that you are very sensible and reliable. You have the demeanor of a big sister. I feel quite at ease when I’m beside you…” “Alright.” Yun Xiao interrupted him. Her fair face flushed red. “Your words are ordinary but why do you make me feel so nervous? Well, you can tell me about my flaws.” In the cave, the male immortals of Jie School immediately perked up and listened attentively. Li Changsho said almost without hesitation, “No flaws, no shortcomings.” It was indeed so. There were a few “karma black holes” around him. Yun Xiao could not help but turn around and chided, “Are you serious!?!”

Li Changshou hurriedly apologized. Not long after, Yun Xiao turned around and smiled even more tenderly.

In the hole, Daoist Duobao pondered for a while and asked softly, “Isn’t this a contradiction? You just said that those who are not Saints have flaws. Then, you said that…”

“Eldest Senior Brother, you don’t understand.” The Goddess of Golden Light snorted. “That’s why this disciple of Ren School is so powerful. No wonder Senior Sister Yun Xiao was fooled by him.”

“That’s right.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit said calmly, “If the Sea God mentioned a few flaws just now, I’m afraid Junior Sister Yun Xiao would be displeased. That’s the brilliant

part.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. I’m dating sincerely up there. It’s fine if you guys take notes down there, but you guys even explain it on the spot! However, the first step had been completed. Li Changshou had taken control. Not only was he talking to Yun Xiao, but he was also capturing the attention of the immortals of Jie School. On to the second step: Advance and retreat, set the standards.

In the peach blossom forest, Li Changshou broke a peach blossom and stuck it in a jade flute, swaying it gently. “Yun Xiao, have you thought about what would happen if we become Dao companions?” Fairy Yun Xiao could not help but be stunned. It was the first time she had a clearly reproachful tone. She said gently, “Why are you suddenly saying this? I’m only familiar with you now. Although we have feelings for each other, the road ahead is long. It’s too early to say.”

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and praised her for living up to his expectations and being just like the fairy he thought highly of. She was not flustered at all and had a clear train of thought.

However, Li Changshou felt a little helpless… If he really fell in love with Fairy Yun Xiao, could it be that they would have to date for hundreds of thousands of years before they got married? Eight meetings before they got engaged… Ahem, think about peaches. According to his previous plan, Li Changshou continued to guide her. Seeing the disappointment on Li Changshou’s face, Yun Xiao pondered for a while and said softly, “However, as long as we see each other more often, we will naturally… progress faster…”

Li Changshou was about to reply when he suddenly realized that there were two more knives on the paper effigy’s neck. He said warmly, “I want to see you more too.” The cute knives immediately moved away from his paper effigy’s neck. “Then,” Yun Xiao asked, “Shall we meet once every 500 years?” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. In 500 years, even a monkey could make it out of prison!

It seemed that the biggest obstacle between Connate lifeforms and Postnatal lifeforms was the unsynchronized concept of time.

Li Changshou did not have any objections and even wanted to agree.

However, those knives… “Actually, there’s no need to be so restrained.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If you want to see me, just come see me. If I want to see you, I’ll look for you. However, you often go into seclusion. I don’t know if I will disturb you.” “I have already reached this realm. I’m just in seclusion because I don’t want to be idle,” Yun Xiao said. “You can come to the island anytime. I’ll look for you once every 500 years, okay?” “As you wish. I have some ideas. Yun Xiao, are you willing to listen to them?” Yun Xiao nodded slightly, her eyes shining.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s also considered a type of cultivation between us. Becoming Dao companions is the Dao Fruit. In the future, there should be some realms.”

He set the standards. “Huh?” Yun Xiao could not help but be interested. “What realms are there?”

“There are some.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. “I have divided them into the Favorable realm, the Attraction realm, the Budding Romance realm, the Passion realm, and the Marriage realm. Once the Marriage realm is completed, we will naturally become Dao companions.” Yun Xiao asked, “How should we differentiate between these realms?” Li Changshou cleared his throat and scanned the hole with his immortal senses. Naturally, he could not find any traces.

Jie School, take care.

He smiled and said, “That’s simple. Meeting each other, feeling that the other party is not bad, being attracted to each other, feeling an affinity with each other and are willing to talk to each other is the Favorable realm.”

In the peach blossom forest, Yun Xiao nodded slowly and agreed. In the cave, the male and female immortals of Jie School looked at each other and were deep in thought. Most of them looked enlightened. Those who were holding onto jade talismans recorded everything. Li Changshou continued, “If two people have a good impression of each other, advancing in the cultivation realm would be the fastest. If you only have a good impression of each other, you will have to spend more effort. Once you talk to each other several to dozens of times, see the other party’s attributes, feel something in your heart, you want to spend more time with him, and want to talk to him more, that will be the Attraction realm.” A certain Nine-tailed Fox Maiden who did not want to reveal her name spat silently. Yun Xiao said gently, “Then, you and I should be in the Budding Romance realm, right?”

Li Changshou said, “Yes, the Budding Romance realm realm refers to the increasingly harmonious relationship between the two of you. There is no harm in communicating and your Dao hearts are similar.

Progress in this realm can be extremely fast or slow.”

“Then, how is the Passion realm?” “Even if you are passionate and are willing to run errands for each other, you will not allow others to slander the person in your heart. You will not allow your sweetheart to suffer. This is having passion.” “On that basis, you will be willing to risk your life for the other party and disregard karma. That is a breakthrough and entering the Marriage realm.” Yun Xiao was enlightened. After some careful thought, she said seriously, “Then, we still have to continue cultivating. At this moment, I can’t disregard karma for you.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

There was no need to say that.

“We can’t rush this matter.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Yun Xiao, youm Brother Zhao Gongming… and the two fairies, are not in a relationship, but you share a close friendship where you will risk your lives for one another. That is what I envy the most.” I really can’t call you Sister! Yun Xiao said, “Can I ask another question?” “Just ask.” “Have you and your junior sister reached the Marriage realm?” Yun Xiao blinked. Almost in an instant, the saber and sword shadows in the hole were placed on Li Changshou’s neck. There was even the aura of a Connate Cardinal treasure mixed in it… A… a fatal question? However, how could Li Changshou dare to say that!?!

Everything he said now might be verified in the future, especially regarding this matter! Li Changshou could only bear with the pressure and say, “We’re still lacking. She has only been cultivating for a short while, and I was the one who brought her up. I have been spending time with her all day, and I have some feelings for her. It’s just that her personality is too jumpy and far from mature.” What should I do? Next, it should be the second question of choosing between the two of them, right? Why did Fairy Yun Xiao suddenly…

Indeed, women cannot avoid this problem…

“That’s good.” Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. It’s coming, it’s coming! Li Changshou wailed in his heart. He was prepared to shout, “I bled for Ren School, and I suffered a beating for Ren School!” However, Yun Xiao said, “If there’s a chance, I should meet her.” Li Changshou was confused. What did Fairy Yun Xiao mean?

“Junior Sister and I can be considered childhood friends. Do you mind?” “Of course I mind.” Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with stars. “However, you did not deliberately start this between us. I had feelings for you first. I lost to you for a while and I can only swallow the bitter consequences.” “There is nothing to fight over. Dao companions were just companions who cultivated together and supported each other. Today, you waited for me here. You should have followed Teacher’s instructions and Senior Brother Duobao’s arrangements. At this moment, I’m selfish and I don’t want to reject Teacher’s and Senior Brother Duobao’s good intentions. However, we have to be reasonable in everything. I can’t let you forget your original feelings because of my selfish thoughts. Wouldn’t that be too unreasonable?”

Li Changshou let out a long sigh and looked up at the clouds in the sky. He said in frustration, “Don’t say anymore. If you continue, I will really… develop a passion.” Yun Xiao chuckled. In Li Changshou’s eyes, she looked gentle. “Why don’t we exchange a token?” Yun Xiao said. “That way, we can read it often. By the way, I have another portrait of you. It was given to me by Senior Brother Xuan Du.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Then can I draw a portrait of you when I go back and hang it where I cultivate?” Yun Xiao looked to the side and whispered, “As you wish.” After saying that, she took out a pouch from her sleeve. There was a cloud embroidered on it. She reached behind her shoulder with her left hand and cut off a strand of black hair. She placed the strand of hair in the pouch and sealed it with a restriction before handing it over.

Li Changshou received it with both hands. After thinking about it, he took out a copper coin from his sleeve. It was one of the two Copper Coins of Treasurefall. He handed it to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao hurriedly said, “Why are you giving me a numinous treasure? Given our ties with each other, we should not be talking about interests and profits.” “I’m most at ease with leaving this with you.” Li Changshou took out another copper coin. There was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. He smiled and said, “They are also divided into Yin and Yang. They are the most appropriate.” Yun Xiao did not decline and put away the Copper Coins of Treasurefall. Since she has given me some of her hair, I will return the karma.

However, Yun Xiao did not know what deeper meaning the copper coins had. Li Changshou would not explain further. “Yes,” Yun Xiao said. “I have to ask you to give this to your junior sister.” As she spoke, she removed the hairpin on her head and handed it to Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not know what to say. He could only take the hairpin. The education that he had received did not allow him to be a two-timer!

The inconspicuous Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords trembled slightly. Yes, the Grandmaster of Heaven is really good at reading people… Li Changshou asked himself, without mentioning the four Immortal Vanquishing Swords hanging above his head and the blades hidden under his feet, how could he reject such a woman? When Yun Xiao mentioned it, Li Changshou might as well paint in front of her and let her see how proficient he was. Li Changshou smiled and agreed. Just as he took out a blank sheet of paper… “Huh?”

A shout of surprise suddenly sounded from the sky. Then, a white cloud rushed over from the west. A dignified-looking Daoist with a beautiful beard and armor jumped down from the cloud. “Second Sister, Brother, what are you doing here? Do you still want to draw? Why?”

The third step was to ask for help to break through the situation and land steadily. There were dozens of Jie School immortals gathered there. If they were to be exposed, it would definitely be extremely awkward today. Both parties would not be able to get an out. It was very likely that they would be forced to do something! At that moment, he needed a disruptor who would make a timely appearance! Li Changshou had already secretly used the paper effigy to invite Master Zhao. He simply said that it was impressive and invited him to come there.

Zhao Gongming was righteous. When he heard about that, he immediately rushed over.

“Big Brother.” Yun Xiao bowed.

Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and said, “Senior.”

“Hahaha.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. His eyes were filled with mischief. “How is it? I didn’t disturb you, right? Hahahaha!” Yun Xiao said, “I should return to the island.” She looked at Li Changshou, her gaze full of thoughts.

However, no matter how calm she was, how ethereal her back view was, or how fast she walked, she could not hide the slight rosiness on her face when she left…

Li Changshou looked at the East Ocean and felt worried.

He watched helplessly as his relationship with Jie School became deeper and deeper, and his karma with Yun Xiao was tied with a dead knot. However, he could not reject it, nor could he directly expose it…

It was the Saint’s scheme.

There must be a deeper meaning behind the Grandmaster of Heaven’s actions!

The best Li Changshou could do now was to use a “division of stages” method to let Yun Xiao clearly understand their relationship and delay the matter. The karma of marriage was really difficult to calculate.

A huge hand suddenly grabbed Li Changshou’s shoulder. Zhao Gongming chuckled and walked over. He punched Li Changshou’s ribs, but he did not use much strength.

“Alright, you rascal. You quietly managed to get my Second Sister to… Hmm?”

Li Changshou’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he hurriedly smiled. At that moment, a murderous aura suddenly appeared behind him. Li Changshou turned around and looked at it. He was speechless… A large number of Jie School immortals appeared in the peach blossom forest. All of them rubbed their fists and held their swords. The Goddess of Golden Spirit picked up the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi and Daoist Duobao took out a pocket… “Everyone!” Li Changshou retreated. Daoist Duobao chuckled. “Although you did what Master wanted, why do I feel that you deserve a beating?” The group of figures laughed sinisterly. Zhao Gongming, who did not know the specifics, took a few steps back and drew a clear line in time.

“Hold on!”

Li Changshou raised his hand and shouted, “Everyone, don’t you want to know what realm there is after the Marriage realm?” The immortals from Jie School were stunned.

Li Changshou smiled calmly and did not say anything else. He formed a simple seal with his left hand and a wisp of flame ignited in his chest. With a whoosh, his body was instantly ignited by the flames. In the blink of an eye, he turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind.

A sect immortal exclaimed, “When did he replace himself with his incarnation?!” The immortals from Jie School looked at each other. Only the Goddess of Golden Spirit, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, Daoist Duobao, and Zhao Gongming, who were behind the crowd, chuckled or pursed their lips. Li Changshou had been using his main body just now. It was very similar to the situation of the Sea God destroying a paper effigy. It was actually a profound escape technique. Thousands of kilometers away, a flame flickered in an underground cave. Li Changshou walked out. He was about to leave immediately, but a wisp of Dao runes appeared out of thin air and gathered around him. Li Changshou looked down and saw a Taiji Painting that was the size of a bowl, appear on his chest. The Taiji Painting rotated gently and entered his body…

Its power was doubled!Li Changshou immediately bowed with a Dao salute and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Indeed, the Saint had participated in the matter today. Previously, he had taken away the power of the Taiji Painting at the last moment. Now, he had doubled it.

Yun Xiao…

God-Conferment…

Timid Saint… “Forget it.” Li Changshou sighed softly. He could not let the fairy’s gentleness get to his head. He had to consider this matter carefully.

The atmosphere in the peach blossom forest was a little off.

At the corner, a female immortal looked at the male immortal in front of her and asked softly, “Junior Brother, which realm are we at?” Under the peach blossom tree, the Goddess of Golden Light pinched the corner of her skirt. There was a hint of timidness on her cute face. She looked at Senior Brother Gongming, whom she had called over, and trembled as she spoke incomplete sentences.

“I, I might, might… Senior Brother, I… might have already… felt… some passion… for you…” Senior Gongming was dumbfounded. He really did not know why. Another old Daoist priest looked at the old Daoist priest beside him, who had been cultivating with him for tens of thousands of years. He smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, can we be considered to have reached the Budding Romance realm?” The other old Daoist priest’s gaze turned sharp.
