Chapter 251 A Good Person

　　Without letting Daoist Wen Jing wait for long, the Great Daoist Master floated back.

　　What was rare was that the Great Daoist Master did not take the initiative to conceal himself. His true appearance was exposed to the mosquito on… Li Changshou’s shoulder.

　　However, the Great Daoist Master was still the Great Daoist Master. Even though Daoist Wen Jing had tried her best to hide and the Great Daoist Master had not been wary of Li Changshou, he had immediately sensed Daoist Wen Jing’s existence… “Why is she here?”

　　“She came to deliver a letter to me previously,” Li Changshou hurriedly said. “I’ll let her go back now.”

　　After saying that, a ball of True Samadhi Flames surged out of his palm and burned the Blood Mosquito. In a certain Cave Abode, the ferocious person in a red dress had already jumped into a treasure pool and was splashing water… Unfortunately, no one could see it.

　　In the Sea God Temple, the Great Daoist Master smiled and asked Li Changshou if his main body was going to return and “hide” in the Immortal Du Sect at this moment.

　　Li Changshou felt a little embarrassed, but he nodded and agreed.

　　He had to!

　　When he came, he was on tenterhooks. When he left, the Great Daoist Master personally sent him off. Li Changshou’s heart was filled with happiness.

　　“I, Changshou, am willing to be a disciple of Ren School… Yes, I will shed my blood to a limit!”

　　The Great Daoist Master did not use the Cosmic Dao Technique this time. Instead, he rode a cloud and flew at a moderate speed with Li Changshou in the night sky. He seemed to be troubled.

　　Li Changshou was also mumbling in his heart. Could it be that the Great Daoist Master had guessed that the Saint had arranged a blind date for him?

　　Then, he wants me to take the blame?

　　He… could not accept that. That was the famous Daoist Wen!

　　“Changshou, there’s something I need to remind you about.”

　　It’s here!

　　Li Changshou knew that he was in trouble. He hurriedly bowed with a Dao salute and said, “I’m listening.” “There’s no need to be so reserved.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “In Ren School, you are the best at helping me share my worries. We are the closest to each other. Yes, that’s right. I went to Three-Immortal Island previously.”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless. This script seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.

　　“Why… did you go to Three-Immortal Island?” The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and patted Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s shoulder. “I naturally made that trip for you. I’ve already made everything clear. Junior Sister Yun Xiao has never had any feelings for anyone. Although that also means that she doesn’t have those intentions towards you, for the time being, no one else will fight with you for her!” Fight… for her?

　　Li Changshou could not help but tilt his head in confusion. A few question marks appeared on his forehead.

　　What is this?

　　Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly said, “Great Daoist Master, do you think that I have improper thoughts about Senior Yun Xiao?”

　　“Oh?”

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and squinted. His eyes seemed to reflect the stars as he smiled and said, “Ask yourself and you will know yourself, whether or not you do. When I was preaching the Dao, I saw you and Junior Sister Yun Xiao traveling in the South Ocean. One of you had joy in your eyes while the other had a serious expression. This cannot deceive others.”

　　Li Changshou could not help but frown. He lowered his head and coughed.

　　“Of course, I have a good impression of him. However, Great Daoist Master, I would never dare to have such delusions about Senior Yun Xiao!”

　　Most importantly, there was too much karma involved.

　　Li Changshou saw that the Great Daoist Master was smiling without saying anything. He hurriedly said, “Great Daoist Master, I think that the matters between men and women should be divided into stages.” “Oh? How should it be divided into stages?”

　　The Great Daoist Master was instantly interested.

　　Li Changshou said, “First, you have a good impression of the other party. Then, you will be attracted. If you attract each other and the conditions are suitable, you two can become best partners.” The Great Daoist Master asked again, “What do you mean by ‘good impression’?” “Pardon me while I voice some of my thoughts,” Li Changshou said. “The so-called good impression is when you feel that a person is not bad. It can be caused by his or her appearance or personality. I have a good impression of Senior Yun Xiao because of the latter. Senior Yun Xiao’s temperament is very attractive. However, in the Immortal Du Sect, I have a good impression of an Aunt-Master as well. I feel that she is likable. I also have a good impression of my junior sister. I feel that she is rather cute. This does not involve any romance.”

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du thought of a certain situation in the Elder Moon Hall and frowned slightly. He asked, “Since you have a good impression of them, why don’t you have any romantic feelings for them?” “Firstly, I’m focused on cultivating the Dao. Secondly, I feel that the timing is not right. Thirdly, I have to be cautious and serious about marriage.”

　　Li Changshou said seriously, “The karma between Dao companions is too great. If you become Dao companions with someone, you will have to bear all the karma that that person brings. Moreover, Great Daoist Master, you once taught me that there is no certainty in everything.” The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while. “It’s not beneficial for you to cultivate if you’re so afraid of karma that you go against your heart.”

　　Li Changshou pondered for a while and smiled. “I feel that good impressions can be accumulated. If the good impression is accumulated to a certain extent where it would be enough for me to disregard karma and want to be together with them, that would be being attracted and developing an interest. If I’m attracted, I will not go against my conscience and suppress my state of mind. Otherwise, I would be going against your teachings.” “Alright.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du nodded in satisfaction. “Actually, you just need to tell me if you have a good impression of Junior Sister Yun Xiao. There’s no need to explain so much. Why? Can’t you swallow your pride?”

　　“However, Great Daoist Master, having a good impression of someone is not the same as being attracted…”

　　The Great Daoist Master continued, “Junior Sister Yun Xiao also thinks that your personality is not bad.”

　　“Well?”

　　“And you said you’re a good person.”

　　“Ahem!” Li Changshou lowered his head and coughed twice. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

　　What is this?

　　Forceful matchmaking is the most fatal!

　　Then, he heard the Great Daoist Master say, “I can tell that Junior Sister Yun Xiao does not hate you. She even admires you a little. That is already very rare. However, someone like Junior Sister Yun Xiao, who admires the living beings of the Great Dao wholeheartedly, would not be distracted by such matters. If you want to move her, you have a long and winding path to take. However, since you said that you are not tempted, I will not bother about this matter. Let nature take its course. Let’s see what happens in the future.”

　　Then, the Great Daoist Master said earnestly, “If it’s about that matter, I will help you if I can. If you can help Ren School, it would be a good thing.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Why do I feel like I’ve been tricked by a handsome man into poaching a talent from Jie School?

　　Fortunately, the Great Daoist Master did not mention it again. The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du continued to chat with Li Changshou and sent him back to the vicinity of the Immortal Du Sect. They were now at the stage of evacuation of the Sea God Ceremony. Li Changshou had already arranged various tasks beforehand. He also had the paper effigy that he could use to deal with the emergency, so there would not be any mistakes.

　　As he approached the Immortal Du Sect, the Great Daoist Master said, “At this moment, you are already a legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts. You have received the protection of the Heavenly Dao and you enjoy the merit of the Heavenly Courts. Is your Dao heart fluctuating because of this?”

　　“Thank you for your concern, Great Daoist Master. I should be fine.”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “The one who has become the Sea God is just the Sea God of the South Ocean, Li Changgeng. What does it have to do with the Essence Immortal disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du blinked, clapped his hands, and laughed while praising him for being impressive. Then, the Great Daoist Master put his hands behind his back and took a step forward. His body disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　　Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and immediately landed on the forest below. He checked the Sensing Stone on his body and walked a few rounds around the mountain

　　gate.

　　When dawn arrived, Li Changshou used the Earth Escape technique and arrived at the gate of the Immortal Du Sect. He called Ling’e out to bring him in.

　　When he went out, Li Changshou used the little Earth Meridian Teleportation Array that he had secretly left in the Immortal Du Sect’s earth meridians.

　　The teleportation array was one-way, and he could not go back. Li Changshou still lacked a few numinous treasures that could be used to break the array formation.

　　After a while, Ling’e rode a cloud to the Heaven-Breaking Peak from the Little Qiong Peak. She collected the jade disc that she needed for going out and rushed to the sect. The old immortal guarding the gate… Ahem, the old immortal was still worried.

　　He reminded, “A female disciple like you should be careful when you go out. Your cultivation level is not high, to begin with. Don’t get schemed by evil people.”

　　Ling’e hurriedly nodded and answered. She said that she was just taking a stroll nearby and looking for a few herbs to go back and learn how to refine pills. After flying out of the sect, Ling’e rode a cloud towards the forest that her senior brother had mentioned.

　　Li Changshou had long been waiting there. When he saw his junior sister riding a cloud over from the treetop, he could not help but be lost in thought. Ling’e had rushed out after receiving the paper effigy’s message. She did not have any makeup on, but her pretty face was exquisite and charming, and her fair skin was adorable… The rarest thing was that her natural refreshing and lively vibe was almost overflowing under the morning sunlight… Ling’e was dressed in a light green dress. Together with the yellow jade belt around her waist, it revealed most of her beautiful figure. Being slender was beautiful enough to be praised. It was rare for anyone to be flawless.

　　Li Changshou sighed in his heart and thought, It’s more reliable and stable to look at Junior Sister whom I had watched grow up.

　　Uh, I’ve been led astray by the Great Daoist Master. I’ve actually started to think about these useless things!

　　However, shouldn’t I change my attitude towards my junior sister? Should I not let her become suspicious and focus on cultivation?

　　“Huh?”

　　Ling’e suddenly stopped 100 feet away. Her long eyelashes flickered and she immediately realized something.

　　Something is wrong!

　　There must be something wrong! “Hmph, Senior Brother, you’re testing me again, right?” Ling’e pursed her lips and snorted unhappily. “There must be a paper effigy there. I would have fallen into a trap if I went over! It’s true. When I heard you talking, I quickly ran out. I didn’t even have time to tidy my hair!”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　He watched quietly.

　　He watched as Ling’e released two paper effigies and approached the paper effigy that was carrying his main body. She slowly probed the leaves around her and carefully poked his face twice… Forget it, I’ll continue teaching. I’m far from that.

　　Li Changshou shook his head. The paper Daoist transformed into the form of a paper effigy. His main body emerged from behind the paper effigy and turned into a small worm. “Take me back.”

　　Ling’e blinked and asked softly, “Senior Brother, when did you go out?”. “Guess.” Li Changshou smiled calmly. “If you don’t make a guess, you will copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred times. If you get it wrong, you will copy the Steadiness Sutra five hundred times.”

　　Ling’e was speechless.

　　She suddenly wanted to throw her stinky senior brother outside!

　　After the Sea God Sect’s ceremony, most of the pressure on Li Changshou’s shoulders suddenly disappeared. That feeling was very obvious. The people from the Western Sect who had been investigating the South Ocean Sea God Sect had disappeared. He had always been worried that the dragon race would resist the Heavenly Courts. Now, he realized that the dragon race was longing for the Heavenly Courts. They even wanted to help a group of young male dragons obtain some low-level Deity Position at all costs to help them escape their negative karma…

　　Due to his influence, the Western Sect adjusted their dragon-taming strategy and began to slow down their infliction of pressure on the dragon race. The situation in the four seas began to relax… Next, there should be people from the Western Sect coming to look for him to have a friendly conversation.

　　Li Changshou would deliberately avoid them and refuse to communicate with the Western Sect.

　　Otherwise, the other party might use that matter to make the dragon race feel that the Heavenly Courts and the Western Sect had put on a big show…

　　Li Changshou naturally would not fall for such a scheme.

　　After returning to the mountain, Li Changshou met his master and junior sister once. He told his master about the Heavenly Courts and urged his junior sister to cultivate hard.

　　This time, Ling’e agreed rather straightforwardly. She announced on the spot that she would be in seclusion for three years, causing Li Changshou to almost try to verify her identity… The reason Ling’e could enter seclusion happily was related to Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

　　Jiu Jiu stayed in the chess room for a long time. Recently, Youqin Xuanya often went to the Little Qiong Peak to play. If Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu felt bored, she would pull Youqin Xuanya and Xiong Lingli along to play Fighting The God, Immortal Life Simulation, Killing In the Three Realms, and so on.

　　Moreover, recently, there was a regular member of Little Qiong Peak’s chess room. It was the ferocious and evil Jiang Lin’er…

　　Wang Fugui, ahem, Exalted Wang Qing had gone into seclusion to cultivate and comprehend the Golden Immortal Dao. Jiang Lin’er was worried about her Dao companion’s cultivation, so she did not dare to go into seclusion for a long time. She also wanted to pay more attention to the little tree spirit’s situation and would often go to the Little Qiong Peak to play.

　　In that case, Ling’e did not have to worry that Little Aunt-Master would be bored to death. She could focus on cultivating for a period of time…

　　Ling’e was full of motivation to cultivate now.

　　Recently, many female disciples in the sect had ascended to immortality. From their temperament to their skin conditions, they had undergone qualitative changes.

　　Because of that, Ling’e was determined to become an immortal as soon as possible! If Li Changshou knew that his continuous “persuasion” was not as useful as that reason, how would he feel?

　　He would probably beat her up while hanging her up.

　　In the past six months, apart from plotting and devising schemes, Li Changshou had also been working hard to do something trivial. He tried to study divine power.

　　He had already discovered that he could use the divine power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao wherever his immortal senses were.

　　Of course, on land, he, the Sea God, was a fish out of water. He could not afford to jump.

　　However, if the paper effigy was on the sea, he could use the immortal senses that the paper effigy had sent out to unleash fifty percent of his divine power. What the Sea God’s divine power could do included, but was not limited to causing a tsunami, guiding the fishes, helping the living beings in the sea reproduce, and increasing the survival rate of the young offspring in the sea…

　　At the current stage, it was useless.

　　The Sea God Sect’s Grand Ceremony this time had a huge impact on the Sea God Sect itself. The Sea God Sect welcomed another period of uproars in the temples. The reputation of the Sea God and the Celestial Thearch quickly spread throughout the south-west region of the South Continent. This time, it was no longer limited to the coast.

　　However, Li Changshou had already planned ahead. He could fight for merit with those illegitimate gods, but he could not snatch the incense offerings of the Dao Sect.

　　In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

　　Li Changshou used his spiritual will to inform Ao Yi to go to the Sea God Temple in Anshui City to meet his paper effigy. It was time to go to the Heavenly Courts and take a look. He would go to the Hall of Enlightenment to sign his name and go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to punch his card. He would then officially become a part of the Heavenly Courts! Of course, the ones who went this time were the ‘main body’… paper effigies.

　　“Junior Sister Yun Xiao, why don’t we make a bet?”

　　On Three-Immortal Island, in a remote pavilion by the cliff, the figure sitting quietly on the meditation cushion slowly opened her bright eyes. “Ah, this Senior Brother Xuan Du is using such a thing to disturb my mental state for no reason.” Yun Xiao flipped her hand and the portrait appeared in her palm. She opened it and looked at it quietly. Then, she shook her head slightly.

　　“If I think too much, I will fall into a state of confusion. I will fall into Senior Brother Xuan Du’s trap. I might as well not care about this matter and just let it be. There is no need to worry about anything. I have to know my true nature and gain enlightenment of the Dao.” After muttering softly, Yun Xiao raised her hand and tapped lightly. The portrait flew to the corner of the room and hung behind a green curtain.

　　Then, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School smiled faintly. He closed his eyes and focused. He quickly immersed himself in the Great Dao, and obscure Dao runes surrounded

　　him…
