Chapter 201 Since Ancient Times, There Have Been Many Emotions And Hatred. This Hatred…

　　When Jiu Jiu left, she ran away like she was fleeing again…

　　In front of Ling’e’s straw hut, where the several layers of array formations had been completely activated, Xiong Lingli sat in front of the door, seemingly guarding it. She held a roasted spiritual beast, which was a mountain rabbit, in her hand and tasted it with relish.

　　There were a total of four disciples from the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, they were sitting around a short table. The table was in a mess, and the little grandmaster was already drunk. She laid on the table and sighed.

　　The “fake” old father, who was similar to old Daoist priest Qi Yuan, maintained an old face. He was at a loss and helpless. However, he smiled at his master and supported his master’s every decision unconditionally.

　　Meanwhile, the old man’s father had already arranged a follow-up plan for the ferocious and evil little Grandmaster. He had also started to try sounding his Grandmaster out in a bid to figure out what was going on between Jiang Lin’er and Exalted Wang Qing…

　　To be safe, Li Changshou had to find out the reason behind it before he allowed Lingle to take out the Tear of The Previous Life.

　　If it turned out to be a misunderstanding where the Grandmaster and Exalted Wang Qing were actually just brothers… ahem, siblings, who had been separated for many years!

　　There would then be trouble.

　　He had to follow the procedures.

　　There were many tricks in the Primordial World and Little Qiong Peak was poor.

　　Li Changshou took action together with Ling’e in the name of welcoming her. They whipped up a table of dishes.

　　During the meal, he sent a few instructions to his master. Qi Yuan began to pour wine for Jiang Lin’er…

　　If he wanted to invoke her emotions, how could there be wine but no music?

　　Lan Ling’e, the chief commander of the paper effigies team of Little Qiong Peak, had already gone to a corner quietly.

　　She sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. The skirt of her dress was scattered around the meditation cushion. The girdle revealed her exquisite figure, without a doubt. Two strands of black hair hung in front of her, and her pretty face began to be graced with emotions.

　　At first, it was a seven-stringed zither that she used to play a soothing sound, followed by the jade flute and the Erhu. It was used to improve their relationship.

　　If her emotions were intense, Ling’e could still use the drums and trumpets that she had just learned to play…

　　The background music was in place. They chugged three jars of wine. Her emotions surged. Li Changshou chose a crucial point. First, he asked Jiang Lin’er how she had been during the past few days outside. Then, he asked her for guidance for treasuring a relationship, as a disciple. Ling’e listened with a complicated expression. Does Senior Brother really not understand?

　　You are clearly the real expert in this Dao!

　　If not for her Grandmaster’s return, Ling’e really did not know how to meet her senior brother…

　　The fact that Li Changshou trapped her between him and the wall really made her flustered and confused. After recalling it, she was frustrated at herself for being useless. Why did she panic at that time?

　　As a result, Ling’e was even more worried. If her senior brother were to act abnormally and try to attract women one day, how many women could resist his charm?

　　Fortunately, Senior Brother’s personality is troublesome. He feels that Dao companions are a burden…

　　This is probably what Senior Brother means when he often says that you win some, lose some.

　　Lingle played the song with a heavy heart. Not long after, she heard Jiang Lin’er sigh and talk about the past…

　　“As for me, I entered the sect together with Wang Qing. We met a few times and I thought he was quite handsome. He thought that I’m not too bad either. When we met each other again and again, we fell in love…”

　　Although the story spanned across a long time, it did not take long for her to talk about it.

　　Back then, both of them were still pure and innocent. The two of them were unaware of the loneliness of the Immortal Path. In front of the peach blossom tree, in front of the melon fields, and under the sun, they had already gone through the seasons of spring, autumn, winter, and summer…

　　As Jiang Lin’er spoke, she began to explain why she had fallen out with Exalted Wang Qing.

　　The sound of the zither changed to that of the Chinese flute. Ling’e closed her eyes and played the music, becoming more and more emotional.

　　After listening for a while, Li Changshou understood everything.

　　The story of Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er’s, Jiang Lin’er, did not have any corny elements like “a fifth wheel” or “coming out of the closet”. It was purely due to their personalities.

　　If he had to summarize it, they could only be said to be former lovers.

　　If he wanted to ask Jiang Lin’er about her current feelings, he could only say, “Very regretful.”

　　“I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum at that time. That boring fellow doesn’t know how to coax people. He believed whatever he heard. I was only saying those words out of anger at that time, but he really cried. He even changed his Daoist name to Wang Qing…”

　　When Jiang Lin’er said that, she could not help but let out a long sigh. “After that, he transcended the tribulation and ascended. I can’t bring myself to look for him. I feel like I’m sucking up to him. Forget it, forget it. Since I’ve missed it, so be it.”

　　Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

　　Li Changshou made a simple conclusion. The story between Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er was very simple. Back then, Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er already had feelings for each other. They had also confessed their feelings. However, Exalted Wang Qing was obsessed with cultivation and gradually distanced himself from their relationship.

　　Jiang Lin’er was originally arrogant, ahem, strong-headed. When she couldn’t help but ask Exalted Wang Qing about that matter, he only told her to wait. When Jiang Lin’er became an immortal, he would compensate her.

　　In a fit of anger, Jiang Lin’er emphasized, “You don’t need to come again.”

　　Exalted Wang Qing took the words that she said out of anger as the truth. He was disheartened and changed his Dao name. He transcended the tribulation and ascended to become the Immortal Du Sect’s Exalted Wang

　　Qing…

　　Why does it seem like a school romance storyline in my previous life?

　　There was a hint of emotion in Li Changshou’s eyes. Then, he said warmly, “Grandmaster, some people will no longer come back again after you miss them. However, there are some people whom you can chase after again.”

　　“Hmph, why should I chase him back?”

　　Jiang Lin’er raised her head and puffed out her chest. She patted the armor plate on her body and shouted in a drunken stupor, “Are you afraid that I, your Grandmaster, will have no one who wants me? A few of my friends who are scoundrels want to become my Dao companion!”

　　Qi Yuan, who was standing at the side, felt a little awkward. He said softly, “The Great Dao is the basic truth. Although the Dao is about seeking Dharma, treasures, Dao companions, and land, Master, Disciple, you guys are placing too much emphasis on the matter of Dao companions.”

　　Ling’e could not help but mess up the rhythm of the music. She covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Jiang Lin’er curled her lips and said, “You’re the last person who has the right to say that, silly Second Disciple.” “Uh.” Qi Yuan could not help but cover his face with his hand. He recalled his own story and silently poured himself a glass of wine.

　　Ling’e, who was at the side, had already picked up the Erhu. However, she was glared at by her senior brother and quickly picked up the Guzheng again.

　　Li Changshou hurriedly tried to save his master’s dignity and smiled.

　　“Humans have emotions and desires. The Dao has thousands of true meanings, but they are ultimately the natural laws outside of their nature. It’s only human nature. Master, you don’t have to take it to heart. It’s a pleasure to cultivate the Dao. This is what you taught me, your disciple.”

　　After that, Li Changshou changed the topic. He said seriously, “Grandmaster, if that’s the case, I think you should still have a place in Exalted Wang Qing’s heart.”

　　“I don’t know. Who cares if I do!?!”

　　Jiang Lin’er rolled her eyes and continued, “I’ve decided. I don’t need the Tear of The Previous Life. I’ll take it that I’m back to see you guys!”

　　Ling’e was puzzled. She could sense that her Grandmaster clearly liked Exalted Wang Qing.

　　Li Changshou said to Ling’e via voice transmission, “Place the Tear of The Previous Life on the meditation cushion and pretend to accidentally leave them behind.”

　　Although Ling’e was a little confused, she still obediently followed his instructions.

　　With that, Li Changshou swept his gaze across the room and put away the cup and plate on the table. He stood up and said, “Grandmaster, it’s almost time for us to go. You should rest first.”

　　Qi Yuan stood up and said, “I’ll listen to Master’s lecture tomorrow. Master, you’re a little drunk.”

　　“Hmph, this is nothing!”

　　Jiang Lin’er said nonchalantly and sighed in her heart. She could not help but feel a little disappointed.

　　Qi Yuan, Li Changshou, and Ling’e bade farewell and left. Jiang Lin’er stayed in Ling’e’s straw hut to rest.

　　After leaving the house, Qi Yuan instructed the two of them not to cause any trouble in front of their Grandmaster. Then, he walked back to the straw hut that had two extra holes in it. However, the array formation had already been repaired by Li Changshou.

　　Li Changshou and Ling’e looked at each other.

　　Ling’e blinked. Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. Xiong Lingli had already stood up with half of the roasted meat she had eaten. She had no idea what had happened.

　　“Senior Brother, what should we do?”

　　Ling’e asked softly.

　　Li Changshou sent a voice transmission, “You and Lingli shall stay in the chess room for the next few days. You don’t have to come over often. In three days, we will definitely find out.”

　　Ling’e was a little confused, but she did not dare to ask further.

　　Xiong Lingli nodded obediently. Anyway, there was no need to think too much. She would do whatever the Sea God, her cousin said.

　　The few of them left the straw huts. The lake, which was still bustling a moment ago, was soon deserted.

　　In the straw hut, Jiang Lin’er sighed softly. She raised her hand and patted her forehead, her face full of frustration.

　　She could not help but feel dejected as she muttered softly, “Ah, I messed up again… Jiang Lin’er, why are you pretending? Can’t you just agree? Eh?”

　　Jiang Lin’er turned around and laid down. Suddenly, she saw a small brocade box in the corner. She opened it and took a look…

　　There was a pearl that looked like a teardrop and a small note.

　　“Explanation of Tear of The Previous Life.”

　　“Hmph! Do you think I’ll use it just like

　　that?”

　　Jiang Lin’er snorted and pushed the brocade box away. She hugged her arms and sat there, her gaze filled with stubbornness.

　　A few moments later…

　　“I’ll just look at the instructions and not use it. That’s right, I’m just curious about what this thing is!”

　　In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat down in front of the black Pill Furnace.

　　Before he started to activate the restrictions of the Pill Furnace, he sensed a familiar Dao rune flashing by the lake and disappearing in the mountain-protecting array. Tsk, although she knew that his Grandmaster was an arrogant girl, she managed to convince herself so quickly. Seriously…

　　“Impressive.”

　　At the same time, in the World Edge Pavilion in the city in the eastern part of the East Ocean, the famous Dao Enlightenment venue that had been sent flying to the top of the building, World Margin Pavilion, had completely been restored.

　　In a private room on the top floor, the young man sat behind a short table and drank.

　　The stars outside the window were bright, and the music from the zither was melodious.

　　He remained that way. He kept drinking and sighing

　　“Lele… Ah, Lele. When I first saw you, I had already thought about our children’s faces. However, where did you go and where do I find you?”

　　An old man zoomed in and knelt on one knee.

　　“Young Pavilion Master, I went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to ask around. Princess Jiang Si’er of the merman race is indeed a good friend of hers.”

　　“What?”

　　The young Qi Refinement cultivator immediately stood up excitedly. The short table was sent flying by his knees. “Really? That’s great!”

　　“Young Pavilion Master, don’t be too excited. I found out that Jiang Si’er’s good friend seemed to have been called back by her elders because she had caused trouble here previously. I’m useless and could not obtain any more information. Although the reputation of our World Edge Pavilion is spread across the Major Chiliocosm, there are too many places that we can’t reach.”

　　The young man could not help but take two steps back as if he had lost his soul. “Did she leave just like that?”

　　The old man smiled bitterly and said, “Young Pavilion Master, any normal woman would be easily frightened by you.”

　　“Old Liang, have you seen me falling in love with any woman before?”

　　The young man sighed faintly and said, “I, Bian Zhuang, have cultivated for more than two thousand years. Mother has arranged for me to have batch after batch of beautiful and obedient maidservants. Looking at them, I felt as if I was facing a blank sheet of paper. My heart did not waver at all. However, Lele is different. She… is different. Every word and action of hers is unique…”

　　Bian Zhuang sighed faintly and slowly sat down while leaning against the screen. He curled his left leg up and placed his left hand on his knee. He gently clapped his fingers, his eyes glazed over, and he kept humming…

　　“The… ends… of… the world…”

　　The old man could not help but raise his head and wipe away his hot sweat. He knew that his Young Pavilion Master had really developed feelings.

　　He never acted that way before but once he fell in love, it was absolutely shocking. It was the start of him seeking death.

　　Finally, Old Madam can be at ease!

　　The young pavilion master was the future master of the World Edge Pavilion. He was already two thousand years old, yet he was still a bachelor. That was really… making him become a laughing stock in front of his peers…

　　“Young Pavilion Master, Ao Yi’s wedding will be held in twelve years’ time. Our World Edge Pavilion has also received an invitation. You previously said that you did not want to attend. Why don’t we try our luck? That fellow Daoist might appear again.” “Huh?”

　　Bian Zhuang was stunned for a moment. She instantly perked up and said happily, “Quick! Let Mother get someone to send me the best robe!”

　　“Young Pavilion Master, don’t worry. There are still nearly twelve years left.”

　　“No, I’ll wait near the East Ocean Dragon Palace now!”

　　Bian Zhuang’s eyes glistened. “Not just the robe, but also the power! That’s right. As a man, how can I protect Lele when I’m too weak? Get my mother to send me all the treasures I have left at home! Oh right, prepare a huge gift for the Dragon Palace! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare!” “Yes, I’ll go right away.”

　　The old man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly retreated.

　　In Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts.
