My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 347

Chapter 347 A Gentleman Doesn't Have To Take Too Long To Take Revenge

Someone was causing trouble.

After hearing Daoist Duobao's words, Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming looked at each other as they had the same thoughts.

Daoist Duobao even felt that something was amiss after he finished speaking. He chewed carefully…

The Goddess of Fire Spirit has already moved to the Luofu Cave on Mount Emei to cultivate. Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School, has already become Dao companions with the eldest disciple of the inner sect, the Goddess of Fire Spirit.

That was personally said by Perfected Huang Long of the Jade Void Palace!

Daoist Duobao muttered, “Could it be that Huoling, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, has been schemed against?”

Zhao Gongming immediately replied, “How did Disciple-Niece Huoling and I get together? Ahem, how did this happen? Previously, Junior Sister Jinguang had fainted in front of my Cave Abode. I brought her back to the residence. Thinking that it would be inappropriate for me to take care of her, I asked Disciple-Niece Huoling to help take care of Jin Guang. She and Jin Guang are the best. They are always together.” There was immediately a look of contemplation on Daoist Duobao's slightly plump face. He stood on the cloud with his hands behind his back.

“This is news released by Junior Brother Huang Long…”

“Senior Brothers.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let's go to the inner hall first. The inner hall is covered by the Taiji Painting. No one will hear what we say.”

He was obviously implying something…

Zhao Gongming said, “I'll return to the Cave Abode and find out what happened!”

“Let's go together.” Daoist Duobao revealed a rare serious expression. “Changgeng, you should be more scheming. Can you come with us? Although this is a small matter, and perhaps it is just a joke from Junior Brother Huang Long, it is very easy to cause a rift between Chan School and Jie School. You are a disciple of Ren School. It's easy to mediate.”

“Alright.”

Li Changshou agreed readily. He took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gongming.

“Senior Brothers, bring me this paper effigy first. I'll make some arrangements.”

“Okay.”

Gongming and Duobao nodded in unison. They immediately rode a cloud… ahem, dug a hole and rushed to the Luofu Cave on Mount Emei.

After the two big shots left, Li Changshou frowned slightly. He placed his hands behind his back and landed in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.

It was simple yet complicated.

Could it be that someone saw that the Great Daoist Master's rumor spread rapidly in the five continents and chose to use such a thing to create trouble?

Li Changshou put the paper effigy back into the underground paper effigy vault. The paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts began to get busy and rushed to the Tushita Palace on a cloud.

Although he did not obtain much information, Li Changshou could probably sort out some logic.

Perfected Huang Long must have seen the Goddess of Fire Spirit in the Luofu Cave.

The problem is whether or not Perfected Huang Long told this matter to others. Even if he only asked a simple question like “Is the Goddess of Fire Spirit in the Luofu Cave?”, the rumors must have been spread from Perfected Huang Long. However, if Perfected Huang Long did not mention it to anyone, then this matter…

It is a little interesting. I can basically confirm the fact that someone is secretly plotting against me and that it is most likely someone from the Western Sect. He had to be steady. This matter concerned the three sects. No matter how small the matter was, it could become a huge thunderstorm.

Li Changshou did not dare to mediate. It was safer for the Great Daoist Master to appear… The paper effigy rushed to the Tushita Palace. Li Changshou wanted to go out and ask for an audience, but the palace door slowly opened.

Li Changshou was delighted when he saw that. He carried his horsetail whisk and walked up the stairs. He dashed into the palace and rushed to the backyard.

Finally, after casually entering and exiting the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, an ordinary official of the Heavenly Courts unlocked the authority to enter and leave the Tushita Palace at will!

Yes, one must have dreams.

Li Changshou made up his mind. His next step was to achieve free access to the Grand Pure One and try his best to cozy up to Ren School!

When he saw the Great Daoist Master in the backyard, Li Changshou frowned slightly…

The Great Daoist Master's resting place was too simple.

He did not even have a decent bed. How could he sleep well when he was lying on a haystack made of green grass? Would his dreams be sweet?

“Ahem, Great Daoist Master… Great Daoist Master? Senior Brother?”

Li Changshou called out softly. The rhythm of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's snoring was not disturbed at all.

This…

Li Changshou took out a stool from his sleeve and sat down on it before taking out an Erhu and playing an impassioned horse-racing song.

“Huh?”

The Great Daoist Master, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyes. He turned to look at Li Changshou, who was sitting not far away from him. He stretched and sat up.

“Changshou, what's wrong? Who bullied you?”

Li Changshou put away the Erhu and quickly explained the small matter that was happening.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to be so nervous.”

“If it was before the incident in the East Ocean, I would have thought that it was a misunderstanding,” Li Changshou said. “After the previous battle, I really have to think about a few things. According to the information that I just received, Great Daoist Master, can you deduce the name 'Ksitigarbha? He should be a disciple of the Western Saint.”

The Great Daoist Master said, “But Wen Jing…”

“Great Daoist Master!”

Li Changshou suddenly interrupted and gestured for him to keep quiet.

The Great Daoist Master could not help but laugh. “This is the Tushita Palace. What are you afraid of?”

At that moment, the Great Daoist Master held the image of the Taiji Painting in his left hand and closed his eyes to focus. He began to deduce carefully. Very soon… the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus issued a warning.

However, the Taiji Painting slowly rotated. Wisps of Yin and Yang Qi condensed out of thin air and entered the image on the painting. The Great Daoist Master closed his eyes. Wisps of Dao runes surrounded him. Soon, he slowly exhaled.

“This Ksitigarbha that you're talking about is a disciple of the Western Sect's Aunt-Master. His cultivation level is not bad. He seems to have just come out of seclusion recently.” Li Changshou said, “He was the one who planned the matter in the East Ocean.” “Oh?”

The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows and smiled. “That's right. Changshou, it's rare for you to meet your match.”

Li Changshou continued, “Great Daoist Master, can you continue to deduce? I want to know if there are any powerful mystical abilities hidden in this place, especially the listening mystical abilities. It's very likely that Perfected Huang Long rushed to the Luofu Cave to look for Zhao Gongming and accidentally met the Goddess of Fire Spirit. Someone probably heard their conversation.”

The Great Daoist Master did not understand. He smiled and said, “Who can keep staring at the Luofu Cave?” Although he said that, the Great Daoist Master still closed his eyes and focused. He deduced carefully.

This time, he had really spent some effort. The Great Daoist Master's expression was a little solemn… “There is an auspicious beast called Truth Listener. This auspicious beast is the mount of Ksitigarbha,” the Great Daoist Master said. “It is revealed by the heavenly secrets. It has a mystical ability that can allow it to listen to the thoughts of the living beings in the Three Realms and distinguish the truth of the world. This is not a powerful mystical ability. Its realm is slightly higher. As long as you are prepared and seal your Dao heart, it will not hear anything.”

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. “It's good that we can guard against it.”

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Are you saying that Ksitigarbha is using Truth Listener's mystical ability to play tricks?”

“I'm just guessing. I don't dare to make a rash judgment.”

After some thought, Li Changshou asked, “Are there many auspicious beasts like this in the Primordial World?”

“I don't know.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Many mighty figures who have lived since ancient times have such strange mystical abilities. In terms of auspicious beasts, when the Ancient Demon Court was at its peak, there was a demon named Bai Ze. Its inherent mystical ability was to seek luck and avoid calamity. When the third Great Magi-Demon War began, he disappeared. I have fought with Bai Ze twice. Each time, he escaped in advance. In fact, just as I had the intention to kill, this fellow sensed danger. It's a hundred times more troublesome than Truth Listener.”

The ancient Bai Ze is still alive?

Li Changshou remembered that matter and diverted the topic to the rumor.

The Great Daoist Master did not want to appear because of such a small matter.

However, Li Changshou said, “I think that although this matter is small, it will blow up easily if the people of Jie School go to the Jade Void Palace to question Perfected Huang Long. Great Daoist Master, why don't you invite Perfected Huang Long first and rush to the Luofu Cave together? I have an incarnation waiting there. I have to think of another way to prevent that from happening again.”

“Alright.” The Great Daoist Master stood up and reminded, “It's best if we can settle this once and for all. Such rumors are really not good.”

“Great Daoist Master, don't worry. I already have a plan.”

The Great Daoist Master nodded slightly and used Cosmic Shifting technique to leave the Tushita Palace.

Li Changshou looked at the empty Tushita Palace hall and bowed before slipping out.

Little Gold and Little Silver had gone somewhere. Today, the Tushita Palace was surprisingly empty…

After leaving the Tushita Palace, Li Changshou rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He waited outside the hall for a while and multi-tasked.

The Great Daoist Master quickly brought Perfected Huang Long to the Luofu Cave and met with Duobao, Gongming, Li Changshou, and the two little saints who were at a loss.

The matter between Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Fire Spirit was just a rumor. When the few people who were involved met, they naturally explained it and cleared the misunderstanding. Perfected Huang Long even took the initiative to swear a Great Dao oath. He said that he had never told anyone anything about the Goddess of Fire Spirit. The power of the Heavenly Dao had been verified.

At that moment, Li Changshou finally had no doubts.

There was a high chance that Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener had done it casually… The Earth Treasury had the help of the Divine Beast, Truth Listener. It could make accusations based on hearsay and spread rumors. Although the effect was not bad and it seemed powerful, it was ultimately inferior.

It was a weakness!

The Western Sect was the first to start doing that.

Then, he would retaliate appropriately.

There was equal karma!

After making up his mind, Li Changshou walked into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, immediately perked up and revealed a faint smile.

The white-robed Jade Emperor said, “Minister Changgeng, you've been standing outside for a long time. Is there anything that you can't say?”

“Your Majesty, I was indeed a little hesitant just now. I don't know if I should ask you…”

“I will tell you everything I know!”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked softly, “Your Majesty, how much Heavenly Dao power can you mobilize? How much can you do?”

The Jade Emperor was also puzzled. He did not know why Li Changshou would mention that…

“Um…”

The Jade Emperor hummed softly and his words were rather serious. “If we meet an extremely evil person or someone who is disrespectful to the Heavenly Courts, or if a ferocious person attacks my Lingxiao Treasure Hall, it will not be a problem to invite the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.”

Li Changshou exclaimed in his heart.

He admired the Jade Emperor's increasingly strict style of doing things.

The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning… was not a problem…

There is no one else who will treat me this way.

In the Luofu Cave, Li Changshou closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the corner. The four elders of the three sects sat around the short table. The Goddess of Golden Light and the Goddess of Fire Spirit hid in the stone chamber deeper in the Cave Abode.

The Goddess of Golden Light continued to lie there “unconscious”. The Goddess of Fire Spirit felt a little guilty. Fortunately, Li Changshou had secretly sent a voice transmission to let the two of them continue their act.

There was a long silence in the Luofu Cave…

“Eldest Senior Brother,” Daoist Duobao said, “Can we just forget about this matter?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and shook his head. “Without evidence, how can we confront the person behind the scheme?” “He can be killed!” Perfected Huang Long cursed. “He can be killed for scheming behind the scenes!”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and said in a low voice, “This matter can't be forgotten just like that. This rumor has already spread everywhere and tainted the reputation of Disciple-Niece Huoling for no reason. However, just as Eldest Senior Brother said, what can we do if we know that the Western Sect is causing trouble?”

Duobao also said, “Could it be that we have to tolerate this resentment?”

The Great Daoist Master asked, “How do you plan?

The three Daoists fell silent and frowned.

Duobao suddenly laughed. “Then let's spread rumors everywhere and feed them their own medicine.” Zhao Gongming said, “At that time, rumors will spread everywhere. We will be the ones to suffer in the end.” “Senior… Brothers?”

Li Changshou opened his eyes in the corner and smiled calmly. He adjusted the hem of his Daoist robe and slowly stood up.

“I have a plan that might work.”

The four pairs of eyes lit up. Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. “Plan?”

Li Changshou bowed and stood up.

“This plan is different from the ones in the past. I call it — the plan to suppress one's desires first. Since the opponent has given us this opportunity, we might as well make full use of it.”

Daoist Duobao could not help but ask, “How?”

“Blow the matter up!” Li Changshou said firmly, “We'll make it escalate to the extent that we might alarm the Saint at any time. We can use this to make the Western Sect panic and make the mastermind feel that he can't withstand the karma and pressure him!” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Changgeng, tell me your plan. Let's discuss it carefully.”

“Yes.” Li Changshou bowed and organized his thoughts.

“This counterattack can be divided into three steps. The first step will be carried out today today. Later, Senior Brother Huang Long will have to leave angrily and make some movements. When he returns to the Jade Void Palace, he will complain to a few experts of Chan School. After that, we will need Disciple-Niece Huoling to put on an act. It would be best if she looks like she wants to commit suicide and feels that her reputation has been insulted. We will then publicize this matter. The first step is to seek justice for Perfected Huang Long in the Luofu Cave, and for the Goddess of Fire Spirit to swear on her life. Remember, everyone who knows about this plan will be on guard at all times. Do not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of you. Since the other party wants to plot against our Dao Sect, let's scare them and teach them a lesson. Let them know that there are bound to be endless consequences if they use some despicable methods!”

The Great Daoist Master and Daoist Duobao's eyes lit up. They understood Li Changshou's subsequent thoughts.

On the other hand, Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long looked at each other and saw that they did not understand each other. They immediately felt more at ease.

They were not alone.

An hour later, Perfected Huang Long's expression was gloomy. He rode a cloud and left the Luofu Cave. After flying for just a few hundred kilometers, he turned to the direction of Mount Emei and left with a snort!

Soon after, the eyes of the Goddess of Fire Spirit turned red. She followed behind Daoist Duobao and left the Luofu Cave. At the same time, she took away the seriously injured Goddess of Golden Light.

A huge show began.

Li Changshou did not expect that Duobao and Perfected Huang Long would agree to his plan so readily…

In the past hour, the four experts of the Dao Sect had been showcasing their acting chops and deducing the subsequent developments. Li Changshou was rather gratified.

One of his paper effigies hid in Perfected Huang Long's sleeve. Later, he would secretly observe the “wind direction” of Chan School.

There were actually five purposes to this plan.

Li Changshou told the four big shots the four steps of his plan while reserving the last one.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

He wanted to use this opportunity to attack Ksitigarbha and set up a good foundation for his future “autism”. At the same time, he wanted Ksitigarbha to have a restriction and set a rule when he schemed in the future.

He could not use any moves casually.
