My Senior Brother is Too Steady

How could Li Changshou not know what Han Xiaoying’s name meant when she met Ke Zhen’e?

Ke Zhen’e was the blind hero in the classic martial arts story ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ in his previous life. Later on, he debuted in the form of the ‘Seven Monsters of Jiangnan’ and achieved great success in the Jiangnan region. He was a classic proof of ‘flying alone is not as good as forming a team’.

Han Xiaoying was the little sister of the “Seven Monsters of Jiangnan” and Ke Zhen’e’s foster sister. The greatest contribution that the “Seven Monsters of Jiangnan” made to the martial arts world in the martial arts story was to nurture the “Iron Man” Guo Jing, also known as Brother Jing.

Most importantly, the name Han Xiaoying was mentioned by Goddess Nuwa!

Li Changshou’s heart sank. His entire body tensed up as crazy thoughts surfaced in his mind. No, there might be a trap!

In the blink of an eye, Li Changshou forced himself to calm down. A series of options appeared in his mind.

Did Goddess Nuwa came from a beautiful blue planet like me?

Can a Saint really time-travel and see through the past and future generations? Is the place I came from a parallel world to the Primordial World? Can Goddess Nuwa read minds?

Does the mother of the human race have abilities that other Saints don’t?

Could it be that Nuwa had heard the story I told Ling’e... Uh, that is definitely impossible.

Not to mention something as unstable as telling Ling’e the story of his previous life, Li Changshou had been extremely careful when he recalled his previous life since he was eight years old. He would never reveal any vital information! In fact, Li Changshou did not even dare to recite the 300 poems when he was in a bad mood. The Primordial Heavenly Dao was omnipresent. In theory, Saints could use the Heavenly Dao to deduce everything in the Three Realms. How could Li Changshou make such a low-level mistake!?! Of course, in theory, Saints had many restrictions too.

In all these years, Li Changshou had only slept a few times. He had never let himself get drunk...

“What’s wrong, Little Disciple?”

He could sense the spiritual will of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. “Goddess Nuwa is asking you a question. What are you waiting for? Let’s please Goddess Nuwa and meet the embroidered ball!” Li Changshou immediately asked in his heart, “Pagoda Master, does the Saint have a mind-reading technique?” The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda scolded jokingly, “There are many people in this world who slander the Saints. If there is really a way to read minds, wouldn’t the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder strike every day? However, if you stand in front of our master, he might see through your essence soul and see through some of your thoughts. I’m not sure if Goddess Nuwa can do it.”

Li Changshou’s essence soul trembled slightly. Wisps of immortal light circulated and wrapped around his essence soul.

According to what the Pagoda Master had said, the Saints could not directly predict the human heart. Then, most of the dozens of options in his heart could be eliminated.

At this moment, he could not be anxious. He had to believe that there was complete logic behind everything. He had to believe in his own judgment...

At such a critical moment, who else could he trust but himself?

Firstly, what were Saints?

Saints were immortal and indestructible. They could refine wind, fire, water, and earth. They could destroy the Primordial World. However, there was still a Great Dao above the Saint. The Primordial World also had the Heavenly Dao to maintain the stability of the world. The strongest Saint in the ancient times, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, had already given up on the opportunity to become a Great Dao Saint. He had merged with the Heavenly Dao and existed in a completely different form.

The strongest of the six Saints was the Grand Pure One. The Grand Pure One was the best at deductions and had several supreme treasures.

He remembered that the Grand Pure One had shown him the ‘original information’ that he had deduced.

When he subdued Daoist Wen Jing, the Great Dao insight of the Grand Pure One released a scene, indicating that Daoist Wen Jing was the most important person involved in the destruction of the twelfth-grade golden lotus in the Western Sect. The Grand Pure One wanted Li Changshou to take action and divert the chaotic storyline back to ensure that Daoist Wen Jing took a sip... That incident gave Li Changshou a lot of confidence. At the same time, he confirmed three things.

The six Saints were not omniscient and omnipotent. Their strength had an upper limit. They could only deduce some possibilities in the future.

The future was not constant. There were many possibilities that could change at any time.

The Saints were also seeking change. They wanted to reverse what they didn’t want to see and ensure that what they want to see happened. Thinking up to that point, Li Changshou had already decided on how to respond to the Pagoda Master’s urging In front of a Saint, he could only fight! Although he had already obtained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, he could not let anyone know that he had transmigrated to the Primordial World! The other explanation of a disciple being extinguished for being too outstanding was too rare of a specificity. It must be eliminated! Li Changshou maintained his Dao salute. He frowned and blinked. He said slowly in a puzzled tone, “Reporting to the Saint, Ke Le’er was an alias that Ao Yi had used to deal with the Deep-Sea Demon Clan. At that time, a Deep-Sea Demon Clan pretended to be Ao Yi in order to tarnish Ao Yi’s reputation. Therefore, they used that method to counterattack. At that time, we discussed and created a baseless identity for Ke Le’er. She would be the good friend of Ao Yi’s wife, Jiang Si’er. In order to get rid of the negative karma demons at the foot of the Demon Ascension Mountain, and to attract more negative karma demons who were in cahoots with them to the Demon Ascension Mountain, I used a small trick and asked Ke Le’er to use a honey trap. I used the identity of Ke Le’er’s elder brother to cause trouble and achieved the tactical goal of boiling the demons in warm water. Ke Zhen’e was just a name that I casually gave him. His name signifies that he wants to suppress evil and protect the universe. Goddess, the person that you mentioned... Han Xiaoying? I... I have never heard of this person. This is definitely not because you heard the wrong question!” “Never heard of it?”

There was a hint of doubt in the voice in the pavilion.

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Please forgive me, Goddess!”

The attic was quiet for a while. Li Changshou was also thinking very quickly. There’s a problem. There’s a problem. Does the Goddess Nuwa really have the same background as me? If that is the case, why... why? Why can’t she get the joke? Uh, of course, it could be that she has never heard of it, or that she did not catch it...

Also, the words ‘boiling the demons in warm water’ and ‘tactical purposes’ are completely different from the usual words used in the Primordial World.

If the Goddess of Saints had summoned me this time to “confirm each other’s existence”, then the subsequent reaction...

Why is it completely wrong? Li Changshou needed more information! A sigh was heard from the pavilion. However, the mysterious voice of the Great Dao sounded again. “I haven’t heard of it, don’t be so afraid. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence. Listen to the second question.” Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Please give it to me, Goddess.”

“The water of the Yellow River flows from the sky. What do you think the next sentence should be?”

Lord!

Ah... After all, even the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan knew about it. It is not a big deal to mention some poems written by Li Bai.

Peaches are not worth making a fuss about! What the hell is this Goddess Nuwa doing? Did she call me over to tell me a secret signal?

He knew that with the Great Daoist Master’s abilities, he could already block the detection of the Saint and the Heavenly Dao within a thousand feet of him. The conversation between the Saint and him could definitely be kept secret. Under that premise, the two questions asked by the Goddess of Saints revealed too much information, but they also seemed to contain scruples...

Li Changshou’s mind was in turmoil.

Hypothesis: If I were the Goddess Nuwa and a transmigrator, how would I deal with a suspected transmigrator?

Exterminate them to protect my background and prevent my secret from being exposed.

There is no other option. The reverse deduction method: What kind of situation would make the Goddess Nuwa speak up to test me? Before that, would she explain her background and position?

This...

There was insufficient information and he could not deduce it. However, it already explained the problem.

“Goddess Nuwa...”

Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and looked troubled.

“I feel that there’s something wrong with that sentence. The Yellow River is the great river of the South Continent. It is said that the Primordial World is the burial place of the Ancestral Dragon. I am inexperienced and I do not know the details. However, I had previously checked the waterway of the South Continent. The water of the Yellow River does not come from the sky, but from the central region of the South Continent. If it’s reasonable, I can continue it with... The water of the Yellow River flows from the sky and into the East Ocean.”

The pavilion fell silent again.

A myriad of thoughts ran through Li Changshou’s mind. At that moment, he decided to take the initiative.

He had to obtain more information to verify the remaining options in his heart! Call her Goddess Nuwa? Why not take the initiative to take a small step forward and call her Aunt-Master!?!

“Aunt-Master, do you prefer poetry?” Goddess Nuwa’s voice sounded again. “I’ve heard of it, but I don’t like it. It’s not appropriate for you to continue like this. The latter half should be ‘it surges to the sea and never returns’.”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up and he muttered, “Don’t you see? The water of the Yellow River flows from the sky,surges to the sea, and never returns? Although it does not make sense, the concept is rather profound. I also feel that this is... Wonderful! I really don’t know what kind of talent I must have to be able to come up with such a beautiful line.” After Li Changshou finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sigh from the pavilion... A sigh?

The sigh contained the charm of the Great Dao and faint emotions. It seemed that Goddess Nuwa’s state of mind had slightly fluctuated.

Li Changshou quickly analyzed and wrote thousands of words for the paper in his heart. He then came up with a bold idea!

Could it be...

Then, he heard Goddess Nuwa say, “Although it’s useless, I’ll ask you the third question. Have you heard this ballad before?”

A wisp of Dao runes floated over from the pavilion and wrapped around Li Changshou’s ear. Li Changshou heard a gentle female voice humming a melody beside his ear.

To be honest, he almost sang it in his heart...

Twinkle twinkle little stars?

How I wonder what you are? Ah, it is just a very ordinary tune. I thought that it would be something like “Catching Prawns” or “Seven Fragrance”. Accompanied by the melody, Li Changshou felt as if there were portraits in his heart. One choice after another popped up, but he kept rejecting them!

Although the possibility of Saint Nuwa having transmigrated was very low, he could not eliminate

it.

However, the Saint Nuwa must have come into contact with the “blue planet culture” and the “information” of the world that he had experienced in his previous life! Moreover, it had a deep impact on her!

Do the other Saints know about this?

If other Saints knew about this matter, they would definitely not be able to hide it from the Saint of his sect. On the other hand, the Saint had already imparted the Dao to him and taught him alchemy techniques. In reality, he had already accepted him as a disciple...

There were many things that did not make sense.

A breeze blew over. Li Changshou realized that he had been bowing for too long. Just as the melody ended, he heard a voice from inside. “Someone, bring the Water God to the front hall. Prepare a banquet to entertain Xuan Du and the Water God.”

Have I failed to answer the questions and lost the chance to enter the pavilion?

Outside the pavilion, a barrier that Li Changshou had not noticed before slowly dissipated. A fairy in a colorful dress walked over with her head lowered and answered respectfully. Goddess Nuwa said, “Water God, go and rest. I will appear later. I have a few small matters to ask you.” Li Changshou said loudly, “I will follow your orders, Goddess.”

Pass...

Not only did he pass, but the last few words of the Saint had given Li Changshou enough logic! After following the female immortal’s graceful figure, Li Changshou went down the stairs and began to organize the short conversation from the beginning... Although it was just three questions, three answers, and two or three casual conversations, Li Changshou had already figured out a rather clear path based on the identity, position, and various situations of the Saint, Goddess Nuwa.

The reason he was called here today was not because of the demons.

From the beginning, Goddess Nuwa had made it clear that the demons were a race of ten thousand spirits. Most of the demons who had ties with Saint Nuwa had died. Whether the demons lived or died did not have much to do with her. However, due to the restrictions of karma, Nuwa would protect the last wisp of survival luck of the demons.

Today, she had called him over because of that name — Ke Zhen’e.

The Saint, Goddess Nuwa must have paid attention to the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain. However, she had only called him over after half a month. Perhaps it was because the Saint Nuwa was uncertain and was hesitating...

After calling him over, she sent the Great Daoist Master away and asked him the first question. Saint Nuwa even deliberately used a ‘normal and slightly playful’ tone to observe his reaction.

Li Changshou felt that his micro-expression management should not have been wrong. After being stunned, he was puzzled. IT The homophonic joke has to be deducted... ahem, let’s not talk about the homophone joke about ginger coke. From the reaction of the Goddess Nuwa after I answered the first question, as well as the fact that she did not get the answer she wanted, and the two questions that she continued to ask, it is very likely that the Goddess Nuwa is not from Earth. If I were to make a bold assumption and carefully verify it, would it be possible...

There is once a transmigrator who appeared in the ancient times. He copied stories, poems, and ballads. Moreover, he had already made connections with the Goddess Nuwa who had not become a Saint yet back then?

If that is the case, it would explain why the Saint seemed to be “searching for answers” and not “verifying”! If I follow that train of thought, where did that ‘senior’ go? Is it because he was too unrestrained and unfettered? Or had his identity been discovered and he was destroyed with a brick or the Heavenly Dao? Once all possibilities were eliminated, the last one would be the truth even if it seemed impossible. From the perspective of the “senior” who had guessed this, and who had brazenly copied the culture of the blue planet, he could tell that the “senior” might have been too unrestrained and ended up tearing himself apart! If he wanted to verify his hypothesis, he only needed to completely eliminate the possibility that the Goddess Nuwa was a transmigrator, that she had once come into contact with the blue planet, that she had deduced the future, and so on... How could he rule it out? I still need more limited information... “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” Li Changshou looked up. At that moment, he had already arrived at the main hall and saw the Great Daoist Master eating the immortal fruits in the main hall.

Li Changshou sighed and said softly, “Senior Brother, we’re in the main hall again. Won’t we be punished by the Saint?”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du shook his head and chuckled. He blinked at Li Changshou, as if he was asking him what had happened.

Li Changshou deliberately smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to discuss with the Great Daoist Master and see if he could provide some information, he heard something “Don’t mention what I say to anyone else.” As soon as he finished speaking, golden light shone everywhere in the main hall. A figure walked out from the golden light. The pressure of the Great Dao unique to Saints filled the magnificent hall. Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. The Goddess Nuwa who had scared him half to death had arrived.
