Ah, he remembered…

That was before the immortal realm shattered, in the wilderness mountains of the Eastern Heaven’s borders, when he had just succeeded in cultivation, running joyfully in the sunset—that was his long-gone youth.

His first meeting with the three sisters was when they were surrounded by fierce beasts. He thought he would be a hero saving beauties, but afterward…

They made him their Big Brother.

‘Friend, we three sisters owe you our protection, and today we’ve each finally understood our own Dao. If you don’t mind, could we call you Big Brother from now on?’

His first meeting with the teacher was when the teacher was lecturing on the island. He happened to pass by, thought the other’s Dao was nothing special, and debated with him, then afterward…

He got beaten up.

‘Hahaha, do you submit now! Haha, seeing you have good comprehension, want to take me as your teacher?

Hmm, your cultivation is already established, so I’ll take you as an outer disciple!

How about it? Think about it. In this world, those who can beat me are quite few.’

In the vast years, heaven and earth are eternal.

Had he forgotten? That initial awakening of spiritual consciousness, that yearning for immortality, that desire for heaven and earth to acknowledge his existence.

[Ah, that was my original intention…]

In the courtyard, Zhao Gongming stood there, his eyes penetrating the distant years, unconsciously letting two turbid tears slowly slide down his face corners, his whole being surrounded by strands of dao rhythm, showing an expression of relief.

At such a realm, unexpectedly…

He had made another small breakthrough.

Li Changshou couldn’t help frowning nearby—was his [Original Intention Technique] so useful for these powerful beings?

Just then;

Yunxiao beside him also gazed at the clouds on the horizon, letting out a soft sigh, with a strand of dao rhythm slowly circling her body.

Though not knowing what Big Brother’s original intention was, she too was moved, her dao heart realm taking a small step forward.

Li Changshou: …

Next time he speaks to powerful beings, could he charge a fixed price?

“Sea God,” Zhao Gongming turned to look at Li Changshou, making a deep Daoist bow, “I understand.”

Under… understand what?

“Ah,” Immortal Lady Yunxiao let out a soft sigh, turning to look at Li Changshou’s paper avatar in its elderly immortal skin, saying gently:

“Thank you friend for the guidance, for today’s favor, please allow us siblings to repay slowly.

Qiongxiao, Bixiao, considering this South Sea God friend’s plea for you two, sister won’t punish you too much this time, just house arrest for nine thousand years each.”

Bixiao tilted her head, weakly saying: “Big Sister, this seems to have nothing to do with me…”

“Then why did you kneel?” Yunxiao displayed her Big Sister authority, saying seriously, “Since you feel guilty, there must be a reason.”

Bixiao let out a long sigh, sitting there with the same expression as Qiongxiao—utterly despaired of life.

To the side, Li Changshou smiled warmly, showing complete inscrutability.

Though not know exactly what happened, the effect seemed unexpectedly good;

So, he would add these two words [Original Intention] to his verbal trump card library.

Li Changshou was still somewhat worried, and added another reminder:

“Friend Gongming, unless necessary, remember not to do such things in the future.

Say what you will, scamming people is ultimately bullying the weak, not something a high person of the Dao like yourself should do.”

“Ah, troubling Sea God,” Zhao Gongming showed shame, “I was greedy for momentary fun, forgetting the true meaning of the Great Dao, even making Sea God come to Three Immortals Island.

Thanks to a friend’s visit, otherwise I might have confused my dao heart, lost my aspiration for the Dao, failing the teacher’s teachings and expectations.”

Li Changshou: …

No need to make it sound so serious.

He was just afraid that Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao would secretly cause more ‘mosquito-scaring’ incidents, bringing greater karma to him as the one who initially provided the scamming strategy.

Looking at the dejected Qiongxiao and Bixiao, though feeling there were still some hidden dangers, he had already done enough today.

Too much could be worse than too little.

The problem was…

Li Changshou looked at Hanzhi prostrating on the ground, his mouth twitching slightly.

What exactly happened that the Second Sect Leader’s ‘almost girlfriend’ was here?

How did a True Immortal realm cultivator end up mixed with two experts who could easily overturn Golden Immortals?

What kind of blessed fate was this, what kind of fortune!

However, he wasn’t bad either—hadn’t even reached Golden Immortal, but had already teamed up with their Human Sect’s Grand Law Master, and watched a small movie transmitted by the Sage Lord…

Could it be that Hanzhi was that poisonous Hanzhi Immortal and it was because Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao needed help with scamming that she became close to the Three Sisters, thus staying on Three Immortals Island to cultivate?

Then, if he spoke a few words now to get Hanzhi away, wouldn’t that change the Three Sisters’ tragic fate?

Li Changshou had barely formed this thought in his mind, without even considering it fully, he immediately extinguished it.

Not only that, he even dug a hole in his mind, threw in the ashes of this thought, and branded eighteen seals on it.

In a place like the immortal realm, taking care of oneself was already incredibly difficult; meddling in others’ affairs was seeking death.

Moreover, just one accidental mosquito-scaring incident had made the Sage aware that future events might change, immediately causing a reaction.

The one who knew Hanzhi was Degree Immortal Gate disciple Li Changshou, not the South Sea God.

Li Changshou sighed inwardly, and made a Daoist bow to Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and Qiongxiao, Bixiao, saying: “This matter is settled, I shouldn’t stay long, I’ll take my leave now.”

Yunxiao said gently: “Friend, why not rest a while before leaving? Let us sisters fulfill our duties as hosts.”

This place was truly not suitable for a long stay, full of great karma, and better to leave early…

Li Changshou made excuses about having urgent matters;

But Zhao Gongming said: “Three sisters, I’ll send Sea God friend off, then return to Mount Emei for closed cultivation to reflect.”

At this point, this powerful one bid farewell to the Three Sisters with Li Changshou and left Three Immortals Island.

Yunxiao rode clouds, sending Big Brother and Sea God out of the thousand-li cloud wall.

Before leaving, Yunxiao didn’t forget to transmit:

“Friend, for this favor, Yunxiao will surely repay in the future.

Friends need not worry about the aftermath.

Though my two sisters are mischievous, they’re not unreasonable, if they harbor any resentment toward a friend, I definitely won’t let them leave Three Immortals Island a single step.”

Hearing this, Li Changshou felt moved again, turning to look at this immortal lady standing on the clouds.

This was truly normal… Dao sect expert!

How perfectly matched with their free-spirited Grand Law Master!

Li Changshou made another Daoist bow to Yunxiao, ending this hurried trip to Three Immortals Island.

After Yunxiao flew back into the cloud wall, Zhao Gongming relaxed.

Li Changshou, worried Old Man Zhao might change the face and blame him, immediately seized the initiative, saying:

“Senior, you have truly harmed me.”

Zhao Gongming was immediately confused and puzzled, looking at Li Changshou, asking with concern: “What’s wrong?”

Li Changshou made a silencing gesture;

Old Man Zhao immediately understood, turned his head to look at Three Immortals Island, grabbed Li Changshou’s paper avatar’s arm, and rode clouds toward the Southern Continent.

After the two left Three Immortals Island by a hundred thousand li, Zhao Gongming let out a breath, immediately returning to his usual heroic and elegant demeanor.

Seeing this, Li Changshou secretly laughed—his quick thinking to find Immortal Lady Yunxiao had truly found the nemesis of Zhao Gongming and Bixiao!

“Why is a friend so wary of your honored sisters?”

“They’re my sisters, how can I say wary?” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled, “Just a bit afraid, that’s all.”

Li Changshou almost hurt his waist, laughing:

“Oh? Why is that? Friend is the Big Brother after all.”

Zhao Gongming shook his head, transmitting: “Mainly because my Second Sister is too rigid and somewhat stubborn.

When the teacher was lecturing at Biyu Palace back then, because some details were explained unclearly, she would constantly question, often leaving the teacher at a loss.

Though this is also good, sometimes she doesn’t know how to be flexible, taking everything too literally.

And once my Second Sister decides on something, she’ll risk her life to accomplish it.

She single-mindedly pursues the Great Dao, in ancient times her cultivation was far below mine, but now, her cultivation is a step higher than mine, even comparable to Senior Brother Duobao.

Quite formidable!”

Li Changshou slowly nodded, indeed no one was perfect—Yunxiao’s serious personality was quite frightening.

Zhao Gongming changed his tone, stroking his beard and asking: “Friend said earlier I had harmed you, did something happen?”

“Indeed,” Li Changshou shook his head, “Those you scammed before involved many karmic ties, I was deeply entangled, almost unable to extricate myself.

As for specifics, because it involves my Human Sect matters, I can’t say much, please don’t mind.”

Zhao Gongming showed shame, clasping his hands and bowing deeply to Li Changshou: “Gongming apologizes here, didn’t think it would involve a friend like this!”

Li Changshou also hurriedly returned the gesture, “Friend, you are my senior, you mustn’t do this.”

Zhao Gongming said seriously: “No no no, we’re peers, what senior and junior? Please don’t embarrass me! We’re kindred spirits, mutual bosom friends, this is also a beautiful story!

If friend remains so distant, then let’s return to Three Immortals Island, let the three sisters witness, and I’ll formally befriend you, how about it?”

Li Changshou: …

How about no!

Excuse me, goodbye, please forget each other in this vast world!

Was this future God of Wealth truly simple, or deliberately seeking revenge?

Must he drag him down, to die together on the Divine List in the future?

Especially after experiencing the Three Sisters’ methods and temperaments today…

Confirming their look, they were fierce ones who dared confront the Sage when angered!

Though Li Changshou greatly admired Yunxiao, it was only admiration, and now he wished he could be as far as possible from Three Immortals Island and Zhao Gongming…

With a thought, Li Changshou sighed: “Friend, though I also wish to be peers with you, Immortal Lady Yunxiao is right, rules are rules, and seniority is seniority.”

Zhao Gongming immediately blinked, “My Second Sister said this?”

“Indeed.”

“This…”

Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment, smiling: “Then this way, in the future I’ll call you Sea God, you can call me senior or friend.

In front of my Second Sister, you just call me senior.”

Li Changshou was inwardly speechless.

What had Immortal Lady Yunxiao done to Zhao Gongming?

Old Man Zhao’s cautious appearance was quite interesting.

…

Zhao Gongming rode clouds, sending Li Changshou’s avatar back to the Sea God Temple, before heading toward the Central Divine Continent.

Before leaving, Zhao Gongming also told him his cave dwelling was at Luofu Cave on Mount Emei in the southeastern Central Divine Continent, inviting Li Changshou to visit and play when free.

This Mount Emei was a blessed land in the immortal realm, not just Zhao Gongming, many experts lived in seclusion there, not the same Mount Emei that Li Changshou knew in his previous life.

Watching Zhao Gongming ride clouds into the distance, Li Changshou also felt somewhat emotional.

Though the Three Immortals Island trip might have left Qiongxiao and Bixiao with some small grievances against him;

But compared to the hidden dangers that could be produced by Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Hanzhi’s group randomly scamming outside, these two sisters’ small grievances weren’t a big deal.

Those who tattle to the teacher might at most get beaten once, but surely wouldn’t be killed for this!

If one-day Qiongxiao and Bixiao came looking for him, he could just self-destruct a paper avatar…

Li Changshou returned the paper avatar underground, most of his consciousness returning to his body, sitting in a corner of the Degree Immortal Gate treasure ship, calculating the distance home.

As usual, first summarize, then reflect, and finally learn from experience…

After this matter, he should be able to maintain some distance from Zhao Gongming and the Three Sisters, temporarily free of entanglements.

Unexpectedly learning Old Man Zhao’s weakness might be useful in the future.

Thinking again of Hanzhi’s matter, Li Changshou couldn’t help marveling at life’s mysteries…

Perhaps Hanzhi and the Three Sisters were fated to meet, this just made them acquainted earlier.

Gongming, the Three Sisters…

Yun Xiao’s gentleness and tranquility, keeping to rules and boundaries;

Qiongxiao’s cleverness and cunning, bold and fearless;

Bixiao’s mischievousness and willfulness, acting without restraint…

Zhao Gongming unexpectedly being ‘afraid of sisters’…

Setting aside karma and future matters, Li Changshou was somewhat happy inside.

Originally, he had always worried that after his cultivation became profound, his mindset would change somewhat, becoming only focused on the Dao nature and losing many pleasures of being human.

But with these vivid examples, Li Changshou no longer had such worries.

Power was power, personality was personality.

Having blood and flesh, emotions and nature, immortality could be considered fortunate, otherwise one would just be a puppet of the Dao, with no joy to speak of…

Zhao Gongming had three sisters with vastly different personalities, but Li Changshou wasn’t envious, after all, he had his little junior sister.

Well, don’t wait until returning to check;

First, see what Ling’e was doing, then decide what reward to give her.

Li Changshou activated the paper avatar beside Ling’e, his immortal consciousness surrounding Ling’e, immediately startled.

Ling’e actually… actually…

Was cultivating!

Li Changshou couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed, but still keeping his promise, decided to teach Ling’e the original version of the paper-cutting avatar’s divine ability when he returned.

It seemed not only did the spirit beast area need to expand its breeding scale, but they also needed to plant more spirit trees.
