My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 650

Chapter 651 - Master of Rhythm

What happened to Li Jing?

In the pavilion of Yun Xiao, Li Changshou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. His eyes were filled with confusion.

Yun Xiao sat quietly at the side with a faint smile. Seeing that Li Changshou was still worried, she said, “Don’t worry. This is ultimately not a huge matter that will affect the trend of the Great Tribulation. I naturally believe you.”

“That might not be a small matter.”

Li Changshou sighed slowly and walked back to his seat. He was less than three feet away from Yun Xiao.

Her unique faint fragrance was a little fascinating.

Li Changshou said, “I still understand Li Jing. He entered the Immortal Du Sect at a young age. He has great luck and has the appearance of a general. He is not someone who deliberately uses tricks.”

“A trick…”

Yun Xiao carefully pondered over those words and smiled. “Now that you mention it, we have to deal with this matter properly. If others want to do something in the Heavenly Courts or use your name to deceive others, that would be inappropriate.”

“That won’t happen. Li Jing’s matter is really a coincidence.”

Li Changshou wanted to say something but hesitated. He did not say anything.

He didn’t want to let her worry too much.

He had taken care of Li Jing in all ways, but in the end, he still wanted to compete with the Heavenly Dao.

His thoughts had changed a lot compared to back then. However, before the incident with the King of Shang, Li Changshou had always felt that his transformation of Li Jing should be a brilliant move.

Unexpectedly…

Li Jing could actually think so far!

He reckoned that the elders of the Immortal Du Sect had played a subtle role in this process.

Ah, if I had known that this day would come, I would have already subtly changed Li Jing’s original personality. Why would I still teach?

Sometimes, it is easy to be stable.

“It’s a little troublesome to deal with the aftermath.” Li Changshou looked at the Life and Death Book on the table. “The more you explain to the outside world, the more people will think that you’re hiding something. Public opinion… Most people would only say what they thought. The truth and the facts are not important to the living beings involved. What they want is only the sense of existence and the satisfaction of getting attention. That’s all.”

Yun Xiao pondered for a while and smiled. “Why did it suddenly become so profound?”

“I’ve been using the mouths of all living beings to plot. I’m just a little emotional.”

Li Changshou slumped in the chair and sighed slowly. “I’m… sorry.”

Yun Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled. She continued to read the scroll in her hand.

Li Changshou closed his eyes and rested. He began to shift the paper effigies everywhere with his mind.

To be safe, he still had to investigate the matter thoroughly and see if anyone had schemed against him.

If Li Jing really did it on purpose, he did not mind rushing this fellow back.

This wind cannot last.

Let’s not talk about Li Changshou’s paper effigy returning to the Immortal Du Sect. Let’s talk about the Lingxiao Hall.

Below the platform, General Dongmu and the few righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts looked at the white-robed Jade Emperor on the platform worriedly.

“General Dongmu.” An old god sent a voice transmission to ask, “His Majesty has been laughing for half a month. Is there any good news?”

“Is the Goddess pregnant again?”

“Hey, don’t spout nonsense!”

General Dongmu glared at the old immortal who had said that just now and sent a voice transmission. “We are the legitimate gods of the Heavenly Courts. We don’t do anything serious every day. Why are we staring at His Majesty’s family matters?”

The old immortals chuckled. Coincidentally, the Jade Emperor touched the corners of his mouth and laughed.

The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Hall was extremely pleasant.

“General Dongmu,” the Jade Emperor called out. General Dongmu and the righteous gods hurriedly followed his orders.

“I’m here.”

“Do you think that Li Jing might be Changgeng’s son?”

“Well…”

General Dongmu pondered for a while and said, “According to my understanding of Lord Taibai Jinxing, he did not deliberately hide his son’s character. Moreover, there’s nothing to hide. Now, there are rumors everywhere that Lord Taibai Jinxing had deliberately hidden Li Jing because he’s afraid of Fairy Yun Xiao. That’s even more ridiculous. Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don’t we officially issue a decree to correct the rumors in the Primordial World?”

“What General Dongmu said is not wrong.”

The Jade Emperor hummed softly and put down the memorial in his hand. His eyes were filled with smiles as he said, “There’s actually no need to investigate if Li Jing is the son of Changgeng’s beloved. Changgeng is trustworthy. However, Changgeng has recognized Li Jing as his foster son. Why don’t we make an issue of this matter and reverse the rumors?”

“Your Majesty is wise!”

“Your Majesty! You can’t do that!”

A shout came from outside the Lingxiao Hall. It was Li Changshou’s paper effigy riding a white cloud into the hall. He jumped off the cloud and walked forward quickly.

“Minister Changgeng, you came at the right time.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “You will decide how to deal with this matter.

Ahahahaha!”

General Dongmu and Li Changshou bowed to each other. The other old immortals lowered their heads and addressed him as Lord Taibai Jinxing.

Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He immediately retracted his smile and used the excuse that he had used on Yun Xiao.

At that moment, no matter how he explained, it would only make things worse.

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “I really didn’t expect Li Jing to have such a misunderstanding. This is also my mistake. It’s not appropriate to plan too much.”

The Jade Emperor asked, “Do you think there’s a need to clarify this matter?”

“Of course,” Li Changshou said seriously. “This seems to be my personal matter, but it can easily cause a bad atmosphere. People would casually acknowledge fathers everywhere. His body, hair, and skin belong to his parents. His parents should be his kin. If the matter regarding Li Jing is misunderstood by others, those who want to gain benefits in the Primordial World will go and worship the higher-ups as their father. What should we do?”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “It’s not as serious as you say. Li Jing and you are related. Others can’t use him. However, since you are so worried, just do it.”

Li Changshou sighed in his heart and explained in detail what the Heavenly Courts should do.

Actually, it was simple. The Heavenly Courts would begin to remain silent and only speak when the time was ripe.

Then, Li Changshou began to operate for a month.

His thought process was very simple. It was that things would reverse when they reached an extreme. When unrelated living beings in the Primordial World wanted to watch him enjoy himself, he would burn this place.

This time, Li Changshou used the new paper effigy to personally operate the saber. His figure was active in the various townhouses and began to spread news.

In the beginning, it was a series of details of the incident. The first-hand information spread by the Immortal Du Sect created Li Changgeng and Li Jing’s filial piety.

At that moment, Li Jing stood up and announced his identity to the outside world. He also apologized to everyone for causing a misunderstanding on his impulse.

At the same time, he explained the situation that day and said that he had been accepted by the magnanimous Taibai Jinxing as his foster son.

Afterwards…

Li Jing was almost convinced by the passerby. He began to suspect if he had been placed in Chentang Town as part of his foster father’s plan.

When the attention on this matter lessened, the news began to lead to another explosive point—Li Jing’s mother.

Various rumors emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain. The guesses regarding Li Jing’s mother, included the “disciples of the Immortal Sect of Ren School”, the “Goddess of War”, the Heavenly Courts, the “demoness”, the “Mother of All Fiends”, the “Princess of Rahu”, the “otherworldly demons”, and so on…

The initial gossip news began to develop in the direction of suspense and horror. It stirred up waves in various parts of the Primordial World.

However, the storm lasted for too long. New news spread everywhere every day, causing many Qi Refinement cultivators to become suspicious.

“Why do I feel that someone is pushing this from behind and deliberately defaming Taibai Jinxing?”

“This is too unbelievable. This matter is completely unreliable.”

“Someone should have exaggerated the matter regarding their relationship. They deliberately destroyed Taibai Jinxing’s reputation and even schemed against his relationship with Jie School.”

A small group of Qi Refinement cultivators felt that they had discovered the truth through the fog and began to refute the various news that had appeared.

As time passed, fewer and fewer people paid attention to this matter. Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators had already sensed the abnormality and treated it as a joke.

At that moment, the Heavenly Courts officially announced to the outside world.

After obtaining Li Jing’s approval, he announced Li Jing’s background in detail and announced that he would severely punish those who maliciously spread rumors and tarnish the image of the Heavenly Courts’ legitimate gods.

Li Jing swore an oath of the Heavenly Dao to prove that he was not related to Taibai Jinxing by blood. It was just that Taibai Jinxing valued the disciples of Ren School very much. He felt sentimental and decided to worship him as his godfather.

Li Changshou used his trump card and held a banquet in the Grand White Palace. He invited the immortals from all over and officially accepted Li Jing as his godson.

The farce finally came to an end.

After Li Changshou did that, he gained a useless reputation of “taking care of the younger generation” and “being magnanimous”.

He had his gains too.

When he talked about that matter, he attracted the attention of others. He obtained the experience of talking.

Those who thought that they had seen through the fog and seen the truth would obtain the superiority in their hearts.

The bored cultivators joined in the fun and adjusted their emotions.

As the immortal banquet in the Grand White Palace ended, the matter came to an end. Li Jing’s name spread throughout the Primordial World in a way that he had never imagined.

A few days later, two young Daoists strolled in the forest outside the Shang Nation.

“Li Jing, Li Jing, you really gave me a difficult problem.”

Li Changshou sighed. Li Jing, who knew that he had caused trouble previously, looked awkward and ashamed.

“Father…”

“You should call me Aunt-Master. You are Senior Brother Du’e’s disciple. I joined the sect many years later than Senior Brother Du’e.”

Li Changshou waved his hand. “Our appearances are so similar. You can really shout.”

Li Jing lowered his head and sighed. He did not know what to say.

The Grand Elder had really harmed him…

“Uncle-Master,” Li Jing said, “Does Senior Yun Xiao mind? If that’s the case, do you need me to swear in front of Fairy Yun Xiao?”

Li Changshou and Perfected Du’e addressed each other as Senior Brothers and gave in to each other. That was why Li Jing addressed him as “Uncle-Master”.

“There’s no need. From the beginning, she did not believe that there was any connection between us.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “I’ve secretly investigated in the past few days. The source is from the elders of the Immortal Du Sect. They had misunderstood. That’s the only way to resolve this. However, Li Jing, in the future, people will think that whatever you say or do is based on my instructions. You have to be careful and not cause trouble.”

Li Jing immediately bowed and whispered, “I will definitely be careful with my words and actions. I will not smear Uncle-Master’s reputation.”

“Ah, what is this?”

Li Changshou smiled and sighed. He called Li Jing forward and took the initiative to bring the topic to Chentang Town.

“Li Jing, did you gain anything from slaying demons in your hometown?”

“Uncle-Master, I did not gain much,” Li Jing said seriously. “It’s because I realized that the demons will never be cleaned up. Spiritual energy and living beings exist, livestock, insects, moths, and remnant souls of ghosts can all transform into demons and harm lives, especially in the land of the East Continent that is facing the northeast of Chentang Town. There are also vast wilderness forests in the East Continent. There are great demons who migrated over. Chentang Town will be stable for a short period of time but it will be difficult for the stability to last long.”

Li Changshou asked, “Have you thought of how to resolve the current situation?”Li Changshou”

“Uncle-Master, I’m slow-witted.” Li Jing lowered his head and said, “The method that I thought of is to set up array formations and so on. However, the consumption of Spirit Stones is far from what Chentang Town can bear. It’s not a long-term plan. Uncle-Master, do you have any plans?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “This matter is neither difficult nor easy. I’ll cut it short and only tell you what to do.”

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master!”

Li Jing cupped his hands and thanked him excitedly. Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts and began to speak slowly.

“Firstly, we have to borrow luck. Chentang Town is located in a remote place and had always been outside the Shang Nation’s rule. Although the Shang army has stepped foot in this place, the current political order is not smooth. They cannot obtain the protection of the Human Emperor’s destiny, causing the demons to cause trouble. You can be the leader and gather the mortals within a 500-kilometer radius of Chentang Town. You can establish a large city or build a mighty pass. Then, you will submit to the King of Shang and use the fate of the human emperor. Secondly, you have to spread the reputation of Chentang Town. That will require you to stay in your hometown for a long time and establish a place where Chentang Pass can resist demons. It will make the demons tremble in fear when they hear about it. You will naturally be able to protect everyone. Also, I will secretly help you with the power of the Heavenly Courts. There will not be much resistance for you to do these things.”

“Thank you, Uncle-Master! Thank you, Uncle-Master!”

Li Jing took two steps forward and turned around to bow to Li Changshou.

Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He gestured for Li Jing to follow him and began to talk in detail about what he had just said.

Half a day later, the confusion in Li Jing’s eyes disappeared. He was smug and wished that he could get to it now.

Li Changshou changed the topic and smiled. “Do you have a crush, Disciple-Nephew?”

“How did you know… Uh, this…” Li Jing scratched his head.” Actually, I don’t like her. I only saw her once, but I don’t know her name or where she is now. ”

“Here.”

Li Changshou took out a jade slip from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Jing’s hand.

“Miss Yin’s information is here. I can’t let you call me godfather for nothing. Remember, you cannot be too anxious about this matter. You cannot use immortal spells to force it. Whether you can move the heart of a beauty depends on you.”

Li Jing was shocked. He grabbed the jade slip and could not say anything. He felt that his entire body was floating. His feet rarely landed.

Li Changshou patted Li Jing’s shoulder and laughed. He walked towards the city in front of him.

The city also had the word ‘Yin’.

After taking a few steps, Li Changshou suddenly thought of a problem.

In the future, wouldn’t I become the grandfather of Little Nezha? Could it be that the drama “Nezha” set in the Primordial World would become a small-scale entertainment film “Where Are You Going, Grandpa?”

This…

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched.

Forget it, don’t think too much. There must be a path in front of the mountain.

I should follow my plan and become a minister of the Shang Nation. I should plan for Di Xin, who will only be born decades later.

Should I go to Su Daji’s side and monitor her great-grandfather?

There is no need for that.

After all, Su Daji was just a beautiful shell among the “beautiful concubines of the country and people”. The soul inside was the vixen, Lan.

Ah, there was also the connection between Jiang Shang and Lan in his previous life.

The God-Conferment Tribulation was really a little messy.

“Hahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!”

“Stop laughing. You’ve been laughing for so long. Haven’t you laughed enough?”

In Xuandu City, on the soft couch in the warm pavilion in the backyard of the elegant courtyard that had just been built not long ago, the Great Daoist Master laughed and punched the bed.

Kong Xuan said angrily, “Your junior brother spent so much effort to calm the situation. You’re still laughing. You really don’t look good.”

“Ah, you don’t understand.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and sighed. “It’s really not easy to see Changshou suffer a loss. You also saw him in the Taiji Painting. Li Jing appeared and knelt down to call him father. Changshou was stunned. At that time, his expression was like that… Huh? Hahahaha!”

Kong Xuan chuckled and looked at the Great Daoist Master. She whispered, “Speaking of this, don’t you want to be a father?”

The Great Daoist Master’s laughter stopped. He said seriously, “This is mainly up to fate. We will follow what we are given. We can’t force it.”

“I know, Darling ~”

The Great Daoist Master shivered and smiled calmly.

Are you afraid?

The Big Dao Ear.
