My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 197

Chapter 197 An Evil Conscience

In the grand hall of the East Ocean Crystal Palace, all kinds of fish and beasts were swimming leisurely outside the hall. The dragon-headed elder lay on his throne. A few beautiful sea maidens were gently fanning and rubbing his legs. At a spot that was not too far behind the two white jade pillars, more than ten sea maidens were playing various kinds of numinous treasures.

The daily routine of the Dragon King began and ended just like that.

A group of spectators outside the hall suddenly spread out in all directions. An azure dragon landed outside the hall and transformed into a delicate-looking young man. He lifted his robe and quickly entered the hall.

“Father! I, Ao Yi, would like to see you!”

“Huh?” The East Ocean Dragon King seemed to have just woken up. He opened his eyes and waved his hand.

The sea maidens quickly retreated. Ao Yi quickly walked to the throne and bowed with his head lowered.

There was no one in the palace. A few dragon generals guarding outside the palace activated the array formation of the palace. The Dragon King slowly sat up straight. There was a hint of laziness and fatigue on his face…

“What's the matter, my son?”

“Father…”

Ao Yi was momentarily at a loss for words. He smiled bitterly and said, “Half a month ago, you asked me to investigate the matter of the dragon being killed in the Sea God Temple of Anshui City. I have found out that there are some fragments of memories left in this Soul-Bewitching Pearl that will allow us to see the mastermind of the scheme!”

As he spoke, Ao Yi held the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and handed it to the Dragon King using his immortal power. The Dragon King raised his hand and pinched the pearl. He closed his eyes and focused. Soon, he nodded slightly and crushed the Soul-Bewitching Pearl.

Ao Yi was stunned. He hurriedly asked, “Father, why!?!”

“I already know about this.” “But father, if this evidence is destroyed…” “Haha, silly child.”

The Dragon King smiled and waved his hand. “Go on, go spend more time with your… your…”

“Sisi…”

“Yes, accompany her more. Before your wedding, don't worry too much about the matters of the race.”

The Dragon King returned to his original position and lazily reminded, “Remember, find a suitable reason every now and then to give your Sect Master more gifts. If he has any requests, you can agree to them. Don't grow distant from him. That's the important thing.”

Ao Yi did not understand what was going on. However, when he thought about what his father had said to him and the expression on his face this time, he felt that it was already… quite vivid.

“Yes, I will take my leave.”

The Dragon King waved his hand and did not say anything else. He seemed to have fallen asleep and was snoring softly. After Ao Yi left, the sea maidens returned. They played music and massaged the Dragon King's legs. The old dragon king put on a faint smile. Then, he sighed softly and continued his simple and boring daily routine as the Dragon King.

Why doesn't Father allow me to continue investigating this matter?

Ao Yi was confused. He walked along the corridor that was filled with pearls and enjoyed the luxurious… foot massage.

He really did not understand.

After half a month of hard work, and continuous searching and investigation, he traced the clues according to the instructions of his Brother Sect Master. He thus confirmed that there was a large number of dragons in the dragon race who were not behaving properly and were rebelling.

Why..

After returning to his palace, Ao Yi looked at Jiang Si'er, who was playing with a few sea maidens. He recalled the Sect Master's advice.

If there's anything you don't know, you can discuss it with your Dao companion…

Ao Yi shook his head slightly. He did not disturb them. Instead, he turned around and went to the side hall where he usually cultivated and meditated quietly.

He still felt a little vexed.

Ao Yi's spiritual will sank into the Sea God Sect's temple in Anshui City. Just as he was about to communicate with his Sect Master using his spiritual will, he suddenly realized… that two old men were drinking tea and chatting in the back hall.

Ao Yi naturally recognized the old man sitting on the main seat. He was the Sect Master's paper effigy.

This should be an incarnation bestowed by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. Otherwise, how could he have the strength of a Heavenly Immortal?

Although Ao Yi did not ask directly, the answer to that question was obvious to Ao Yi.

As for the other old man, Ao Yi found him to be unfamiliar.

The other party's cultivation level was not bad. He had the domineering aura of a Golden Immortal. Furthermore, he looked a little noble. His tone and temperament were extraordinary.

After listening carefully, he realized that the two of them were actually talking about the dragon race…

Ao Yi heard the Sect Master's paper effigy sigh…

“Ah, the situation of the dragon race is getting more and more difficult.”

“That's right. I have heard about it when I was in the sky.” The other old man whom Ao Yi had never seen before, sighed. “Sea God, after you reported this matter, His Majesty is also very concerned. The dragon race is a large race in the four seas. His Majesty has the intention to recruit them. Unfortunately, the dragon race is too arrogant. They would not be satisfied with any deity positions. Moreover, although there are many vacant deity positions in the Heavenly Courts, it is impossible to give a few to the dragon race. It has to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.”

“It's not time yet.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “His Majesty's reputation is still unknown. The dragon race is indeed too arrogant. General Dongmu, does His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, have any penchants?”

“His Majesty doesn't have many penchants.” General Dongmu shook his head and continued to explain, “His Majesty now has the responsibility of serving the Heavenly Dao, supporting the Dao Sects, perfecting the Heavenly Courts, and benefiting the people of the Three Realms. His Majesty has been working hard every day. He is either handling matters or on the way to handling matters.”

As he spoke, General Dongmu lowered his voice and said softly, “During this period of time, he has also been going to the Jade Pool less frequently.” Li Changshou pondered for a while before changing the topic casually. It was useless to talk about the Jade Emperor's private life.

As soon as Ao Yi's spiritual will arrived, Li Changshou had naturally sensed it. Coincidentally, General Dongmu dropped by that day at the same time as Ao Yi.

Li Changshou immediately gave General Dongmu some instructions via voice transmission.

Apart from the words about the Jade Emperor not visiting the Jade Pool much recently, the rest of the things that General Dongmu said was actually what Li Changshou told him to say.

Li Changshou could not help it. He was afraid that General Dongmu would say something wrong and end up making disdainful and contemptuous remarks about the dragon race. General Dongmu secretly looked at the spot where Ao Yi's statue was at. After exchanging some pleasantries with Li Changshou, he left with Li Changshou's memorial for the Jade Emperor.

When General Dongmu left, Ao Yi had already excitedly sent a request for spiritual communication with Li Changshou, before Li Changshou could sink the paper effigy into the underground paper effigy vault…

The moment they met in the blurry dream, Ao Yi could not help but ask, “Brother Sect Master, is that expert just now the General Dongmu of the Heavenly Courts?” Li Changshou nodded with a smile.

It was no wonder that in his previous life, people often said that being a director, a scriptwriter, and the person in charge of the production affairs was more troublesome than being an actor.

After chatting with Ao Yi for an hour, Li Changshou retracted his spiritual will. He lowered his head and refined a few array foundations. Then, he organized the precious materials that he was going to refine next, after which he left the secret chamber in the mountain and took a stroll around the Pill Chamber. He thought carefully about what Ao Yi had said…

This old Dragon King is not simple. Li Changshou pondered for a while. He felt that the old Dragon King was the one who understood the situation. He could sit steadily and observe the situation. Indeed, the experts who have come from the ancient times are all existences that hide their abilities…

Well, except for Master Zhao.

He had to be careful next. He could not let the dragon race feel any disgust towards the Heavenly Courts.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean Dragon Palace was the leader of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. He was also the person with the highest authority in the dragon race. Since he chose to remain silent and tolerate it, it should not be just fear and scruples. The old dragon king might be plotting something big…

If I were the Dragon King, how would I save the dragon race? Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and strolled on the back mountain of Little Qiong Peak. He kept thinking about it and unknowingly walked to the area where he cultivated the spiritual trees used to cut paper and cut paper.

Li Changshou did not need to go over at any time as there were already 'farmer' paper effigies that were responsible for planting the immortal beans and tending to them.

If he wanted to create beans, he only needed to focus on the paper Daoist so as to increase his efficiency.

A gentle breeze blew past, and the young trees that had become strong and healthy began to show their deepest respect for Li Changshou, who had nurtured them meticulously…

Li Changshou walked under a tree and patted the tree trunk as if he were encouraging a young man to produce more juice and contribute more to Little Qiong Peak. After a long while, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

The dragon race…

“Since the poison has infiltrated, the Dragon King probably wants to find an opportunity to get rid of it. I have considered this before.”

Looking at the invitation cards in his storage Dharma treasure, which Ao Yi had brought…

Although Li Changshou did not have any basis for it, he felt that Ao Yi's wedding would be a crucial turning point in the matter regarding the dragon race's entry to the Heavenly Courts.

I should have planned this earlier.

This is a mission given to me by the Saint. It is related to my future Dao base. I have to be cautious.

“Senior Brother!”

Li Changshou turned around and saw Ling'e floating thousands of feet away on a cloud.

Li Changshou narrowed his eyes and smiled. Ling'e immediately recalled her previous embarrassment and could not help but blush.

“Just now, Grandmaster sent me a letter saying that she is already on her way back. Senior Brother… I! I'll go back and cultivate…”

After saying that, Ling'e covered her face and turned around to flee. Then, she dashed back into her straw hut.

Li Changshou could not help but laugh. He had teased her once by trapping her between himself and the wall. It had been half a month since that happened and yet she had not recovered from it.

Is this girl too shy?

Finally, Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er decided to use the Tear of The Previous Life after hesitating for a long time…

That was a good thing. However, he did not know if it would be effective on Exalted Wang Qing. After all, he was an expert who was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm…

No matter what, he had to give it a try.

If he could get such a powerful supporter for the Little Qiong Peak, his master and Ling'e's safety would be greatly improved even if he had something on in the future and had to go out with the Great Daoist Master using his main body.

Thinking about that, Li Changshou thought of something related to the dragon race. The dragon race also had an expert from the Dao Sect. It was that Yellow Dragon Perfected

One…

After the battle between the dragon race, only the Great Daoist Master and the Little Daoist Master of Ren School would have effective combat power. The Heavenly Courts did not have any experts to send out.

Although the Great Daoist Master was strong enough, he was someone who would not move unless necessary…

If he wanted to have the upper hand when the conflict with the dragon race erupted, he would have to be strong and powerful enough.

Use the identity of the South Ocean Sea God to contact the Perfected Yellow Dragon?

Although in Li Changshou's impression, the Perfected Yellow Dragon could not do anything constructive during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and would definitely be put on the roll, he was one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, after all.

He was from the dragon race. It was reasonable for the dragon race to help him at critical moments…

It was not safe to use the Sea God's identity to contact him. It was better to take the Heavenly Courts path and get General Dongmu to invite the Perfected Yellow Dragon.

In the next memorial, I will ask His Majesty about this matter…

Li Changshou stretched his muscles and sat below a random tree he found. He took out a stone slate and began to write the Steadiness Sutra.

He naturally was not punishing himself. He was only improving the Steadiness Sutra and adding more content to it. He had not been involved in many aspects before and was not vigilant enough.

Half a month later, beside the heavenly pillar in the east of the East Ocean, a figure sneaked past the stone tablet with the phrase 'The ends of the earth' written on it and quietly headed towards the city.

She wore a bamboo hat and carried a huge sanguine blade on her back. Her body was emitting a ferocious aura, but she hid her cultivation level.

The Qi Refinement cultivators who passed by would subconsciously avoid the figure… That person was probably a woman. She was wearing an armor plate which was rather loose. Her figure was petite and slender.

She was naturally Li Changshou's Grandmaster, Unfettered Lin Jiang, who was waiting for him.

She was a little hesitant. After looking at the west, she nonetheless entered the city.

He found an Immortal Inn and asked for an inconspicuous room. After opening the room's array formation, she set up a few barriers before relaxing slightly… How could she not be hit when she was roaming around the world? Although she did not have any enemies there, she had to be careful.

“The Tear of The Previous Life…”

Jiang Lin'er sat on the bed and pondered.

She had always been decisive, but now, she was hesitating.

Actually, she had been hesitating along the way. She kept thinking about whether she should…

Why don't I just forget about it? What's so good about that silly and boring gourd? If I really take him down, wouldn't I have to give up on the carefree life of roaming outside?

However, as she continued to deny it, she mysteriously flew to that place.

“Annoying!”

Jiang Lin'er rolled her eyes and laid on the bed. Then, she rolled around in frustration.

“Hmph! I'll use it then! My grand-disciple obtained such a good thing and even gave it to me out of respect. Why can't I use it!?!” Jiang Lin'er gritted her teeth and was about to continue setting off. However, she stopped in her tracks and saw herself in the Glazed mirror, which was a Dharma artifact.

Jiang Lin'er lowered her head and touched her heart to do some soul-searching. She could not help but purse her lips. “When I get back, I must take a few more breaths of Little Jiu's fortune!”

Jiang Lin'er snorted coldly and closed the array formation in the room. She spent three Spirit Stones in vain and carried the sword out of the Immortal Inn. She then rode a cloud towards the exit of the city.

Suddenly, Jiang Lin'er raised her eyebrows. Her immortal senses captured an acquaintance.

She glanced at a tall building in the city and immediately looked away to make sure that the other party did not notice her…

Isn't that the young dragon from the dragon race who gave me something last time?

He seems to be the Dragon Prince, isn't he?

This fellow is with a group of fiendish demons… No, that's not right. This is the appearance created by a camouflage spell.

Jiang Lin'er was puzzled.

At that moment, her intuition that she had been hiding for many years told her that there must be a huge conspiracy. However, her experience told her that she could not interfere in that matter.

Jiang Lin'er did not think too much about it. After leaving the huge town near the ends of the earth, she took the route of the East Ocean, hid her whereabouts, and rushed towards the Immortal Du Sect.

After flying for an hour, she felt that something was amiss.

The Second Prince had a close relationship with her mysterious grand-disciple. Otherwise, he would not have given her such a great gift… Loyalty was important.

After some thought, she took out the jade token and used up one count of the precious quota of the number of times she could use it. She then sent everything she saw back to the Immortal Du Sect.

Jiang Lin'er received Li Changshou's reply very quickly. She curled her lips slightly.

“This little fellow is really bold and righteous when he's using me, his Grandmaster!”

Forget it, for Second Disciple's sake…

Jiang Lin'er shook her head and landed on the ocean below, waiting for the 'expert' whom Li Changshou had mentioned to catch up.
