My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Sensitive Moon Elder, Protecting Li Changshou

When Ling’e heard that, she immediately… perked up.

All these years, she had racked her brains to come up with all sorts of schemes in order to woo her senior brother. However, she had never been able to win his heart. She often felt defeated.

Ling’e was truly afraid that her senior brother’s love for her would turn into pure care and concern…

She was the little junior sister who had been influenced by the Dao companion system in the sect when she had first developed her awareness of romantic relationships at the age of 16 or 17 years old. She had confirmed that she had to become her senior brother’s Dao companion!

However, Ling’e did not have much anticipation.

She knew what that adorable little sister of the merman race could offer…

The way of wooing him was nothing more than the nine tricks of using medicine, dolling herself up, targeting his feelings, stirring his emotions, creating a scene, pretending to be drunk and weak, do what he liked, play hard to get, and reject. Throughout the vears, she had always failed. How could she not have used all the tricks that she had thought of?

Recently, she felt that her senior brother might not be in the mood to find a Dao companion at this stage. Therefore, she focused on consolidating her image as a junior sister and kept a distance from her senior brother. She did not want to be… really treated as his own sister!

Therefore, Ling’e did not hold much hope. She only replied politely, “I won’t hide it from you, Sister. I do fancy someone.”

Jiu Jiu chuckled and said to Jiang Si’er, “You saw that person just now.”

“Oh? Could it be that brother Changshou?”

Ling’e could not help but blush. Although she was a little embarrassed, she nodded slightly in agreement.

“What?”

Xiong Lingli moved her little head over from the side.

Perhaps because her body was too strong, Jiang Si’er could not help but hide behind Ling’e.

Xiong Lingli exclaimed, “Ling’e, do you like my cousin?”

Lingle blushed even more. She could not help but cover her face with her hands.

Jiu Jiu was overjoyed. She laughed with her feet raised while sitting cross-legged. She almost lost her balance and flipped over.

However, Jiang Si’er pursed her lips and smiled lightly. A huge stone had been lifted off her chest.

It would be easier if the two of them are in love with each other.

In order to prevent the dragon race from influencing her Yi Yi, she had put in a lot of effort this time. She had given her Brother Changshou a small helping hand so that he could easily win the lady’s heart…

Hence, Jiang Si’er whispered into Ling’e’s ear.

She muttered some things to her.

Ling’e was stunned for a moment before asking, “Really?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you? This is a rare treasure of our race.”

Jiang Si’er smiled gently and took out a brocade box from her bracelet. She handed it to Ling’e and said, “Take this as a greeting gift for you, Sister.”

Ling’e hurriedly said, “This is too expensive. It’s our first time meeting. We can’t do this.”

“Sister, you really have to understand my feelings,” Jiang Si’er said with a sigh. “The marriage between me and Yi has just been decided. I’m just an insignificant mermaid princess. However, Yi is the son of the dragon race leader. Ao Yi trusts this elder brother the most. He also told me to prepare a hefty gift for him. I thought about it and realized that this is the only gift that should be considered exquisite and unique to a disciple of Ren School. If you don’t accept it, I will smash it here and apologize to Yi.”

Ling’e blinked gently and hurriedly said, “Don’t do that. I’ll accept it. Thank you, Sister.”

At the same time… a certain Sect Master of the Sea God Sect, who was watching the show with his spiritual will, sent a voice transmission to his Second Sect Master.

“Your Dao-companion is meticulous and has great ideas. If you can’t figure it out, you can discuss it with her.”

“Oh?” Ao Yi quickly asked with his spiritual will, “Brother, why did you say that?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “You’ll know when you ask them in the future. I heard them talking in the house. I suddenly felt a little emotional.”

Ao Yi was puzzled. Li Changshou said, “Continue watching the show.”

At that moment, the expert from the dragon race had already landed in the front courtyard of the Sea God Temple. He kept pacing back and forth without making any other moves.

However, Li Changshou felt that the dragon was waiting

When the mortals rushed there, the experts stationed in the South Ocean would notice him.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and focused most of his attention on Anshui City. He temporarily did not care about the straw huts.

He activated the paper effigy and quietly hid underground. He then sent a voice transmission to ‘Team Xiong’ formed by the twenty-four Divine Envoys of Xiong Village in the city, asking them to rush there immediately…

No matter how the uninvited guest attacked, Li Changshou was already prepared to deal with it. He could take the initiative at any time.

Ao Yi was beside him.

Furthermore, through Ao Yi’s recount, the Dragon Kings of the four seas and the real powerful old dragons of the dragon race had already known about the Western Sect’s schemes.

In fact, Li Changshou had already written the memorial for the Jade Emperor to tell him that the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, and the dragon race were deliberately falling out with each other to create a scene…

However, Li Changshou still felt that it was not safe. He was worried that he had been careless.

In the Primordial World, no enemy could be underestimated.

Moreover, the Western Sect had two Saints. They were unscrupulous in their actions.

Li Changshou stared at the dragon that looked like a middle-aged man after transforming. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes, and dozens of densely-packed “storylines” appeared in his mind.

Fellow Daoist, do it yourself.

It is up to you to decide if you want to die or get beaten up.

In the straw hut by the lake of Little Qiong Peak, Jiang Si’er had already opened the brocade box. The four of them stood or sat around her.

In the brocade box, there was a light-blue pearl in the shape of a teardrop. It was shining brightly and had a wisp of mysterious Dao runes lingering around it. If one stared at it for a while, a mournful and pleasant chant would appear in their hearts…

It was as if he was complaining and crying.

Jiang Si’er introduced softly, “This pearl is called the Tear Of The Previous Life’. The merman race has an ancient rule that we can only love one person in our lives. The tears of the previous life belong to someone who had an unrequited relationship and could not be together with his lover, even until death. Before his lifespan ran out, his merman pearl transformed into this Tear Of The Previous Life and he gave it to the other clansmen to prevent any regrets. As long as you think of the person you love deep in your heart, the Tear Of The Previous Life will remember him and he will develop feelings for you.”

Xiong Lingli exclaimed, “There’s such an evil thing?”

Jiu Jiu giggled and commented, “If he’s a Heaven Immortal, it will be enough to touch the Heavenly Dao if you long for him for a hundred thousand years.”

Xiong Lingli could not help but mutter, “But wouldn’t this just be forcing it? The most important thing is mutual love.”

Jiang Si’er blinked and thought, Why has the beautiful story of my race become… So unbearable when the two of them talk about it…

Ling’e muttered to herself and said softly, “Senior Brother should like me too. This pearl should not be of much use to me. However… Well, to be safe, I can use it.” She asked, “Little Sister Si’er, is this thing really going to make Senior Brother fancy me?”

“Of course,” Jiang Si’er said with a smile. “There won’t be any other effects. I’ve tried it a hundred times and they worked every single time.”

Ling’e continued to ponder. There was some hesitation in her eyes, but she still said, “Although I trust you, Sister, this item concerns my senior brother. I want to use it too… Little Sister Si’er, I have an unreasonable request. Can you please swear a Dao oath and guarantee that what you said just now is true and that this is really the Tear Of The Previous Life like you mentioned?”

Jiang Si’er was stunned…

Are humans so strict?

Jiang Si’er hurriedly said, “Of course. I’ll take a Great Dao oath now.”

“Please wait a moment.” Ling’e smiled in embarrassment. “I’ll write the contents of the oath on a piece of paper. I’ll let you read it. That way, you can be more at ease.”

Jiang Si’er blinked. She felt that it might be a human rule, so she nodded and agreed.

She, who had grown up in the ocean, was really stunned.

Very soon… Jiang Si’er chanted the incantation and the Great Dao oath. The sky above the Little Qiong Peak rumbled.

The oath stated that if she had said anything false and that the item would not make Li Changshou fall for her, a small bolt of lightning would strike.

That was mainly used to distinguish the authenticity of her words, not to punish her with the oath of the Great Dao.

Although Jiang Si’er’s heart was calm, she was not lying

However, she felt a little guilty just now.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual after the oath. Ling’e finally believed Jiang Si’er’s words. She took the Tear of The Previous Life pearl and looked at it carefully. The three people beside her focused on it.

Ling’e said, “Why don’t we forget about it…”

With a few clangs, Jiang Si’er, Jiu Jiu, and Xiong Lingli staggered.

Jiu Jiu deliberately frightened her. “Ling’e, are you going to use it? If you’re not, I’m going to use it!”

“Yes, yes! Ah… I’m really afraid of being scolded by Senior Brother.”

Ling’e bit her lips and closed her eyes. She held onto the Tear of The Previous Life and began to think about the bits and pieces of interaction between her senior brother and herself.

Gradually, smoke rose from the Tear of The Previous Life, which then formed Li Changshou’s figure.

Jiu Jiu asked curiously, “Ling’e, is this Little Changshou? Although his nose is still the same, and so are his eyes. Why does it feel like they’re not the same person? The Little Changshou inside is obviously much better-looking.”

Jiang Si’er chuckled. “This is Sister Lingle’s impression of Brother Changshou.”

Jiu Jiu immediately understood.

Ling’e, who knew the correct answer, naturally could not tell them that her senior brother was usually disguised as a person with “ordinary appearance”.

Ling’e asked softly, “What do we do next?”

Just as she finished speaking, the Tear of The Previous Life turned into a stream of water. The stream flew out of the straw hut and disappeared.

The four of them looked at each other in confusion.

Jiang Si’er hurriedly said, “That’s it!

“Later, Sister Ling’e and Brother Changshou will only need to meet and we can see what happens.” “Is it that magical?”

Jiu Jiu praised softly from the side. Lingle could not help but feel a little excited.

At that moment, Li Changshou felt a little strange.

That feeling was like…

It was just like when Elder Moon used the Acacia Tree to attack his marriage clay figurine. His mind was filled with thoughts.

However, the person who appeared this time was his most familiar junior sister, Xiao Ling’e…

Is Elder Moon stirring trouble now?

Li Changshou diverted some attention and analyzed the information that his immortal senses had previously captured.

Legends of the merman race, Tear of The Previous Life, Little Ling’e…

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Isn’t that a waste?

With such a good item, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if she kept it for Master or Grandmaster, so as to facilitate a marriage for Master, and to settle the relationship between Grandmaster and Exalted Wang Qing?

Li Changshou shook his head secretly.

The main body that had been hiding in the underground secret chamber had also taken out a portrait. It was the latest addition to his series of ‘Aged Beauties’ paintings— ‘The Iron Granny’.

However, Li Changshou was just about to observe and study carefully when the commotion in his heart suddenly disappeared. He was caught off guard. What is going on?

Is the merman race that unreliable?

Can there be counterfeits of the Tear of The Previous Life?

Could it be…that the merman who condensed this Tear of The Previous Life, actually has some stories that others did not know about when he was alive and purposely made a name for himself for the sake of his reputation?

Li Changshou felt bored and distracted. He was prepared to “fight” the Tear of The Previous Life.

Most of his attention was focused on the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. Not only did he control the three paper effigies, but he also maintained his spiritual will to communicate with Ao Yi at any time…

Simultaneous operations had become the basic operation for him.

Li Changshou would not punish Ling’e for what she had done this time.

Ling’e only wanted to express her feelings. Although he did not want to accept it, he did not need to disappoint her.

He was conscionable.

On the contrary, the first thing that Junior Sister considered was not whether she could express her thoughts successfully. Instead, she was worried about the safety of her senior brother and asked Jiang Si’er to swear a Dao oath to prove herself…

Li Changshou was a little touched by that.

Forget it. For Ling’e’s sake, I’ll let her copy the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times later.

However, what Li Changshou did not know was that Ling’e had used the Tear of The Previous Life just a moment ago… After the stream of light disappeared, it appeared in the Elder Moon Hall and transformed into a stream of light that wrapped around Elder Moon’s wrist.

Elder Moon, who was pinching the marriage clay figurines, paused. He thought that the Old Heavenly Dao had sent a message, but after sensing it carefully, he realized something

It turned out that someone had used the Tear of The Previous Life of the merman race.

That was a small “contract” in the rules of marriage. After one used the Tear of The Previous Life, he would have to follow the information in the Tear of The Previous Life and make a marriage happen…

Although it was not a marriage bestowed by the heavens, it was also something that the Heavenly Dao allowed. Elder Moon would usually help to form connections. “Let me see who this merman is… Huh? The target is the disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Li… Eh? My little friend Changshou?”

Elder Moon frowned and snorted. He crushed the stream of water in his hand and swept his sleeve.

“How dare you plot against my young friend Changshou!?! I promised my young friend Changshou that I would not interfere with his marriage. How can I help you? Hmph!”

Elder Moon shook his head and continued to pinch the marriage clay figurines in front of him.

If anyone wanted to lay a hand on Li Changshou, they still had to go through him, a legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts!

The moment Elder Moon crushed the stream of water.

In the straw hut by the lake, Jiu Jiu, who was teasing Ling’e, paused. Jiang Si’er, who had already felt at ease, widened her almond-shaped eyes. At the side, Xiong Lingli tilted her head…

Streams of light revolved around the opened brocade box, forming the teardrop-shaped Tear of The Previous Life.

What’s more, a figure flew out from the Tear of The Previous Life and seemed to have been forcefully stuffed into Ling’e’s heart.

Jiang Si’er could not help but say, “Has… has it come back? Why would such a thing happen?”

Ling’e immediately smiled bitterly. She looked up and rubbed her forehead, feeling like crying

Oh dear!

Senior Brother must have found out about this and used some method to break it!

After Jiang Si’er leaves, I would… have to copy the Steadiness Sutra…

There was silence in the straw hut. Jiang Si’er raised her hand to support her forehead. She began to suspect her life, which was not considered that long.

However, although Li Changshou had recorded that scene with his immortal senses, he did not have the time to be distracted.

The dragon pretended to hesitate in front of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. It paced around for a long time before it seemed to make up its mind and walked towards the door.

That was the main thing that had to be done.
