Chapter Fifty-Nine The Strong Secret of Xiong Village · Pseudo

The situation seemed more complicated than she had imagined.

Ling E intentionally showed a hint of embarrassment, hoping these three big shots would leave here soon.

She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, especially something unrelated to her senior brother and master.

But now, the two other senior brothers from Biefeng Peak were already at odds, and there was a palpable tension in the air...

What should she do?

Under the willow tree, beside the low table Ling E had set up, three unfamiliar senior brothers and sisters sat around it.

Sitting opposite Ling E was a graceful and dignified woman, Liu Yan'er, the senior sister of Doulin Peak.

It was this senior sister who had come to Doulin Peak before.

Ling E initially thought that this new senior sister who came to find her senior brother was a "dangerous character" like Senior Sister Youqin, but after chatting for a while, Ling E realized she had misunderstood.

This senior sister came to find her senior brother for a legitimate reason.

It all began seven years ago during a training event. Senior Sister Liu Yan'er and Senior Brother Wang Qi, who went to Beizhou together, fell in love at first sight.

After returning to the mountain, they exchanged letters and conveyed their affection through their eyes. Gradually, their feelings deepened.

Recently, Senior Sister Yan'er and Junior Brother Qi Qi had plans to cultivate together. They decided to register their relationship at the Baifan Temple and officially become Dao companions, practicing together on Doulin Peak or Xiaoling Peak.

But who would have thought that Liu Sizhe, Yan'er's blood brother, who was standing beside Ling E on her left, suddenly spoke up.

He opposed this marriage!

It was a love that had been suppressed for a hundred years.

Since Liu Sizhe entered the sect as a child, he had followed behind his gentle senior sister, calling her "Senior Sister" all along.

Gradually, as a young man, he developed feelings for her.

But feeling that his cultivation was not as strong as his senior sister's and that he couldn't protect her, he kept these feelings buried deep in his heart, focusing on arduous cultivation and striving for enlightenment, gradually gaining recognition within the sect.

Until today, Liu Sizhe, now the sixth-ranked disciple in the sect and having reached the sixth stage of the Returning Void Realm, was bestowed with treasures by the sect and received the true transmission from the Peak Master of Doulin Peak.

When he finally wanted to express his feelings to his senior sister, he saw...

He saw his beloved senior sister about to be taken away by a fellow disciple from Xiaoling Peak!

Liu Sizhe immediately stepped forward to declare his affection for his senior sister. Yan'er was shocked at the time but immediately declined Liu Sizhe's proposal.

"Junior Brother, I have always regarded you as my closest brother."

Liu Sizhe felt unwilling and repeatedly questioned Yan'er about her relationship with Wang Qi, even challenging Wang Qi to a duel in private.

Junior Brother Qi Qi...

Wang Qi of Xiaoling Peak was not weak either. After returning from Beizhou, his cultivation breakthroughs were continuous. His originally somewhat reckless temperament had also become more restrained. Currently, he had also reached the sixth stage of the Returning Void Realm and ranked eighth among the disciples.

After inquiring about Yan'er's feelings, Wang Qi fully respected her wishes and did not agree to the duel.

As a result, the situation escalated, and Liu Sizhe and Wang Qi refused to back down.

In recent days, it even led to a confrontation between disciples from Doulin Peak and Xiaoling Peak, drawing the reproach of the elders within the sect...

This matter needed to be resolved quickly.

Today, Liu Yan'er came to Xiaojun Peak not to meddle in other people's affairs but to find Li Changshou, who had traveled with them at the time, and have him testify.

In this way, she could explain to Liu Sizhe how she and Qi Qi fell in love at first sight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Yan'er arrived, Wang Qi and Liu Sizhe caught up from behind, leading to the awkward situation at hand.

Lan Ling'e looked at the table that was almost shattered by the two men's aura, feeling a bit sorry...

Her senior brother made this himself.

"Senior Brothers?"

"Yes?"

The two stern and imposing faces looked over simultaneously, making Ling E shrink her neck.

Lan Ling'e smiled and said, "Could the two senior brothers wait aside? There are some words that are not suitable for the senior brothers to hear."

Liu Sizhe and Wang Qi both looked at Liu Yan'er, who had a look of helplessness and urgency in her eyes.

Immediately, the two of them stood up and walked towards the lakeside.

Wang Qi was considerate enough to create a barrier under the tree, and seeing this, Liu Sizhe came back and erected an even thicker and stronger barrier outside.

Their gazes met, and small sparks appeared in the air.

Inside the barrier, Liu Yan'er felt a headache coming on.

"Sister Yan'er, my senior brother is away on Dust-breaking Journey. He won't be back for at least a year."

Lan Ling'e paused and reminded her, "You can discuss this matter with Sister Youqin."

"I've already been there," Liu Yan'er sighed lightly. "Sister Youqin is in seclusion, and I don't dare disturb her. Now, I can only rely on Brother Changshou to testify."

Ling E was puzzled. "But how can my senior brother's testimony help you two realize your love at first sight?"

"My junior brother has developed a stubborn mindset," Liu Yan'er smiled bitterly. "He now thinks I'm using Qi Qi as a shield and doesn't want to delay his path to immortality because of me. But I really..."

Alas, what can I do? I've consulted with Senior Brother Jiu and Senior Brother Changshou, but both are in seclusion. And now, Long Life Junior Brother is also absent."

Lan Ling'e was about to express delicately that this matter had nothing to do with them at Xiaojun Peak. But before she could formulate her words, she suddenly felt the earth trembling...

Looking up, she saw the two senior brothers from Biefeng Peak already "wrestling" in the open space in front of the grass hut!

Because the sect rules prohibited disciples from fighting privately, any grudges had to be reported to the Baifan Temple in advance for resolution by the sect.

As inner disciples of the sect, Wang Qi and Liu Sizhe were very restrained at the moment.

They merely extended their left legs forward to touch knees, their eyes as if ready to devour each other!

Liu Yan'er immediately covered her forehead with her hand, unsure of how to make amends.

Lan Ling'e blinked. This situation...

It's almost like the scenes in the beast pen on the back mountain when the spiritual beasts compete for mates!

She chuckled lightly in her heart, and her thoughts turned, a decision was already made.

She stood up and walked out of the barrier, shouting to the two men, "Stop fighting, you won't kill each other like this!

Uh, no.

Two senior brothers, please be aware that private fighting among disciples is prohibited by sect rules, and this is the territory of Xiaojun Peak.

Since you are here, why not follow the rules of Xiaojun Peak? Regardless of how Sister Yan'er ultimately chooses, you can settle your differences here.

How about it?"

The two men separated from each other. Although their knees were in severe pain, they appeared calm and nodded.

Liu Sizhe asked, "What are the rules?"

"My senior brother enjoys making wine," Ling E smiled faintly, "Please, two senior brothers, taste it."

After a moment...

With two loud bangs, Wang Qi and Liu Sizhe both fell onto the low table, the wine jars in their hands falling down, each only drinking a third.

After all, it was the diluted Wine of Imperial Concubine, used by the Royal Family.

Liu Yan'er let out a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Ling E.

But she showed no intention of leaving immediately.

"Sister Yan'er, I have an idea that might help you make a decision."

Ling E felt helpless and gestured for Yan'er to come a little closer, whispering a few words in her ear.

Yan'er frowned. "Is that acceptable?"

"Of course, if anyone is willing to raise another person's child for you, then you can entrust them with your life," Ling E blinked, "But remember to have someone testify in advance to avoid damaging your reputation, Sister Yan'er."

"Thank you for your advice! If this works out, I'll owe you a big favor!" Yan'er stood up excitedly, bowed, and Ling E waved her hand.

Soon, Yan'er used two clouds to carry the drunken two senior brothers into the air, heading towards Doulin Peak.

"It's really... Why does everyone come to my senior brother? Is the Senior Brother of Xiaojun Peak so idle?"

Lan Ling'e snorted lightly, took a handkerchief, and took the low table to the lakeside, carefully cleaning it.

Should she invite her master to Doulin Peak to watch the fun?

Forget it, don't cause trouble, otherwise, when her senior brother comes back, he'll definitely scold her again.

"Stinky senior brother, what's wrong with bringing your junior sister to the Dust-breaking Journey? I could've gone with you to end some entanglements! It's really... In the future, when this junior sister goes to end some entanglements, I'll drag you along even if you don't want to come, hmph!"

...

Two thousand miles southwest of the main gate of the Degree Immortal Sect, in a valley near the sixth spiritual vein of the sect.

"I wonder if Ling E has caused any trouble."

Li Changshou woke up from meditation, murmuring softly, with a calm look in his eyes.

While consolidating his realm, although his cultivation hadn't improved, his strength had visibly increased.

After checking the spider webs and warning formations around him, Li Changshou changed to another cave and continued to meditate.

In the blink of an eye, he had spent a year outside the sect's gate.

Although he was just outside the main gate, he didn't want to go back too early. Besides the three years of guarding the tomb, he also needed to consider the time spent on the road and what a fourth-stage Returning Void disciple should do.

Not returning to the sect for more than three years, the immortals from various peaks should have, once again, advanced by one or two small realms.

As long as he showed himself as a fourth-stage Returning Void disciple, he could keep up with the mainstream disciples, enjoying most of the treatment of the inner disciples without attracting too much attention.

As the days to return to the mountain grew closer, Li Changshou became more and more troubled.

As the saying goes, a penny can defeat the hero; his assets now did not match his cultivation level at all.

It was similar to when he played games in his previous life, receiving a massive gift pack but having no good equipment to use.

Where could he get some treasures?

To improve the composite formation of Xiaojun Peak required a large amount of treasures; to enhance his own defensive capabilities also required a large amount of treasures...

If only he had an endless supply of spiritual stones.

Li Changshou propped up his chin and pondered silently.

Actually, he had thought about plundering the Ling Ore of the Degree Immortal Sect before, wanting to open a small branch nearby to solve the problem of spiritual stones directly.

But Li Changshou felt that this was not in line with his principles; after all, the Degree Immortal Sect had nurtured him for so many years. Now that he had some strength, he didn't want to become a thug for the sect, let alone dig up the Ling Ore of his own sect.

"Go to the nearby town? Sell some poison pills and elixirs?"

After a moment of thought, Li Changshou felt that there was no need to go out.

He now suspected that he might have a 'trouble-attracting' constitution.

During his tribulation, he miscalculated, causing the heavenly dao to miscalculate as well, resulting in two heavenly tribulations and inviting divine punishment.

Injured by the divine punishment, he fled westward into the body of a fish; because he sensed someone coming from the east, he chose to flee to the west.

As a result, a fish as big as a person could be caught by ordinary people!

Just encountering a bear tribe caused him to attract the name of a sea god.

He had changed his original appearance when building the temple a year ago; now, with so many statues built, wouldn't his true appearance be known?

What if...

Could it be...

Impossible...

"Village Chief (Leader, Lord)! I know the secret of the strong people in the Bear Tribe! They worship a sea god every day! Worshipping this sea god not only strengthens their bodies but also doubles their catches every time they go out to sea, and there are no diseases in the tribe! It's really effective!"

"Hurry up! Let's do the same!"

The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched as he imagined this scene.

What should he do?

He said he really didn't want to compete with Western teaching for incense; would they believe him?

What kind of poison could defeat a sage?

Is he half-dead now?!

Li Changshou's head tilted, and a small phantom flew out of his open mouth. However, he quickly sucked it back in, shocked to the point that his primordial spirit almost left his body.

Think of a way, he must think of a way!
