Hearing Grand Master Xuandu’s sigh, Li Changshou’s thoughts raced, feeling genuinely nervous.

He truly feared Grand Master Xuandu might misunderstand something.

Hypothetically, if Western Teaching’s Sage disciples cornered his true body, and he barely survived the first wave, who could he count on for rescue while waiting for help?

Currently speaking, only Grand Master!

The Sage Lord couldn’t directly intervene to save a small disciple who wasn’t even a Golden Immortal.

Li Changshou naturally had this self-awareness.

So, in a sense, Grand Master Xuandu was his timely rain in the primitive world!

Under these circumstances, unless Li Changshou had lost his mind, how could he presume to arrange things for his big thigh, needlessly annoying Grand Master?

Even if he needed to arrange something, he would have to request Sage Lord to give the order, indirectly saving…

Ahem, this wasn’t important!

The matter with True Person Wenjing was purely Sage Lord’s decision, and he, this purely good little disciple, had absolutely no…

Well, not exactly no connection, but at most, no more than two and a half tenths of key involvement!

Hearing the Grand Master’s sighs, Li Changshou instantly brought out his strongest state to respond…

The best acting is removing the disguise and forgetting to perform!

Li Changshou immediately let this unease in his heart show completely on his face, frowning and smiling bitterly, sighing:

“Grand Master, except for matters ordered by Sage Lord, the disciple hasn’t presumed to make any decisions for you!”

“Don’t be nervous,” Grand Master Xuandu blinked, having already caught the key point, “What did Teacher previously instruct you about?”

Li Changshou glanced aside, seeing Grand Master wasn’t angry or cold-faced, his heart suspended in mid-air immediately dropped most of the way down.

“Grand Master, it’s like this…”

Then, Li Changshou explained everything about recruiting True Person Wenjing one by one.

To explain more quickly, he gave a concise explanation, incidentally omitting content that might cause Grand Master to misunderstand.

That little matter about Mosquito couldn’t be brought up openly…

After listening, Grand Master Xuandu’s eyes were full of emotion as he patted Li Changshou’s shoulder.

“Changshou, you’ve had it hard!”

Li Changshou was somewhat puzzled.

He heard Grand Master sigh: “Every time Teacher arranges matters, he always has many requirements, wanting to leave no future troubles while also severing karma.

In worldly matters, the most difficult thing is being thorough.

You… haven’t even reached Golden Immortal, yet Teacher…

Ah!

This matter should have been for me to handle, you’ve worked hard, Changshou.”

Hearing this, Li Changshou also felt somewhat helpless, sighing along with the Grand Master.

Thus, in this warm chamber, Human Teaching’s Sage Lord’s big and small treasures… pah!

Human Teaching’s big and small masters, watching that mirror and monitoring various places in Dragon Palace, let out a series of long and short sighs.

In this moment, these two people found in each other a sense of mutual appreciation and shared suffering.

However, the Grand Master’s eyes still carried some happiness.

“Changshou ah, you must prepare thoroughly for your Golden Immortal Tribulation,” Grand Master instructed, “There’s still a bright future waiting for you to cross this threshold.

No matter what, survival must come first, matters of opportunity and cultivation can be made up later.”

Li Changshou hurriedly nodded in agreement, “Please rest assured Grand Master, if the disciple doesn’t have enough confidence, I definitely won’t try rashly.”

“Your foundation is already quite good now, actually there shouldn’t be big problems.”

Grand Master Xuandu smiled: “Remember to notify me before crossing the tribulation, I still owe you a promise, I will naturally protect you on the side, not letting anyone interfere with your tribulation crossing.”

“Disciple will trouble Grand Master then.”

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

Li Changshou’s heart gained some peace, while the Grand Master’s gaze was quite complex.

Within it was emotion, relief, and also some sense of liberation…

He was finally about to come ashore!

Human Teaching would finally have another person who could run errands for the Teacher!

How many kalpas had it been…

“Come, sit!”

Grand Master casually pointed, creating two wooden chairs and a low table, with immortal fruits and delicacies on the table.

Grand Master smiled:

“Since you’ve already arranged Ao Yi’s wedding quite well, I’ll just watch here.

You proceed according to your original arrangements, don’t worry about making any mistakes; if there are any inadequate responses, I will naturally step in timely to help you cover this matter.”

Li Changshou made a Dao bow, and knowing the Grand Master’s temperament disliked others being too reserved, directly sat down.

His not expressing thanks was also deliberate.

If he thanked Grand Master, that would be thanking Grand Master for helping him, claiming all the merit for Dragon Clan’s ascension to heaven for himself;

Not expressing thanks this way only represented that he was following the Sage Lord and Grand Master’s orders in calculating Dragon Clan matters…

How could Li Changshou not pay attention to such social principles after being beaten and ground down by society so many times in his previous life?

He could feel his favorability with Grand Master increasing one plus one plus one…

Soon, the two were cracking “Dragon Clan special supply ice jade seeds,” tasting Ao Yi and Jiang Si’er’s future wedding wine, and watching the mirror to observe various situations.

Grand Master had given Li Changshou the initiative;

Wherever Li Changshou wanted to look, he only needed to inject a strand of immortal consciousness into this mirror to search freely.

At this time, all was calm around East Sea Dragon Palace, but Li Changshou’s sense of crisis was already very strong.

The other side would likely use some teleportation formations, universe-in-sleeve techniques, space treasures, and other means to launch a surprise attack silently.

According to True Person Wenjing’s intelligence, next should be South Sea Dragon Palace attacked first, followed by East Sea Dragon Palace…

Hmm?

Wait a moment!

Li Changshou looked at the mirror before him, suddenly feeling caught between laughter and tears.

Were he and Grand Master even doing the camera crew’s work?

Jokes aside, Li Changshou’s heart never stopped thinking about the important matters.

Human Teaching’s Grand Master, Severing Teaching’s Zhao Gongming, and Pure Teaching’s Yellow Dragon True Person – except for Yellow Dragon True Person, all were heavyweight figures who could represent their teachings.

To avoid making Western Teaching ‘retreat in the face of difficulty,’ this time Grand Master should not appear if possible.

Ao Yi was currently a Severing Teaching disciple, so the loyal Zhao Gongming coming to help makes sense…

The drama of [Three Teachings Unite to Aid Dragon Palace] was naturally best for the Dragon Clan;

But for Li Changshou’s ultimate goal, it would form a huge obstacle!

Li Changshou made up his mind that even if the Dragon Clan suffered major losses today, losing vitality, he had to dissuade Grand Master, only letting Grand Master secretly save Ao Yi…

Uh, accidentally arranged things again.

Continuing to review his previous schemes, crossed storylines floated before Li Changshou’s eyes.

Next, let’s see how Western Teaching’s operators would move!

The image in the crystal mirror rippled gently, changing to the scene outside the hall – Li Changshou’s paper avatar was rushing to find Ao Yi who was greeting guests outside the hall.

The Old Man Under the Moon was about to arrive at Crystal Palace, but Li Changshou needed to bring Ao Yi to welcome him.

To be safe, Li Changshou also had to make some preparations for the Old Man Under the Moon’s entrance…

Beside him, Grand Master Xuandu’s expression was somewhat strange as he smiled: “Watching yourself, won’t it confuse your spirit?”

Li Changshou said: “Disciple will close my eyes.”

“Good.”

Then, Li Changshou closed his eyes, his consciousness entrusting to the paper avatar, finding Ao Yi to arrange later matters.

…

Li Changshou’s paper avatar currently active in Dragon Palace had the appearance of a young human cultivator with True Immortal realm cultivation.

Seeing Ao Yi, he stepped forward two steps, and Ao Yi’s guards naturally didn’t dare stop him.

Li Changshou smiled: “Brother Yi, quickly come with me to the gate to welcome an honored guest.”

“Alright!”

Ao Yi agreed without thinking, but then frowned and stopped, transmitting:

“Teaching Master, outside… that person is still there.”

Li Changshou transmitted: “Don’t worry, if he can recognize you, I’ll immediately ask this honored guest who came to congratulate you to take action.

Brother Yi, first directly open your mouth and ask me who this guest is, the louder your voice the better.”

“Oh?”

Ao Yi’s spirit stirred as he said loudly: “Brother, may I ask who this honored guest about to arrive at Crystal Palace is?”

Li Changshou pointed upward, deliberately creating some sense of mystery.

At this moment, many immortal consciousnesses in the main hall locked onto Ao Yi and Li Changshou’s paper avatar…

Dragon Clan’s many masters and guests from the Three Realms were all somewhat puzzled now.

Who exactly was this “brother” in Ao Yi’s mouth? What background did this person called an honored guest by Dragon Palace have?

This was the first step in setting the stage for Old Man Under the Moon’s entrance – [Drawing Attention].

Li Changshou took out his long-prepared lines, saying to Ao Yi:

“This honored guest has put in quite some effort for you and your sister-in-law’s matter.

In the primitive world’s Five Continents and outer Three Thousand Worlds, all beings with spirit intelligence, who have received teaching and respect propriety, have their marriage matters under his management.

His cultivation isn’t high, but he has merit protecting his body and heaven’s way supreme treasures.

In his right hand a golden scissors, cutting off marriages and sealing emotions, in his left hand holding the love-longing tree, its branches pricking with heart-fire entanglement.

If you ask who he is? Heaven Palace’s true god, the Old Man Under the Moon!”

This was the second step in setting the stage – [Just Hype It Up].

Ao Yi couldn’t help laughing, saying: “Brother, let’s go! Let’s quickly go outside to welcome him!”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded, going with Ao Yi and six Dragon Clan guards toward Crystal Palace’s gate.

Thinking of that person at the gate, Ao Yi still felt somewhat nervous, raising his hand to touch his face.

Li Changshou transmitted: “Don’t worry, you’re completely different from Ke Le’er.”

“Ah,” Ao Yi sighed, gritting his teeth as he went to Crystal Palace’s gate.

Several dragon-headed elders caught up from behind, Dragon Clan elders following behind Ao Yi.

Dragon Clan was also showing their attitude, wanting to cultivate good relations with Heaven Palace.

They passed through many side halls full of guests, and crossed Crystal Palace’s crystal-paved front court, reaching Crystal Palace’s magnificent gate.

From far away, behind Dragon Palace’s soldiers, they saw a young man leaning against a huge jade pillar, his figure somehow looking so haggard…

Getting a bit closer, they could hear murmurs of “Le’er, Le’er.”

Ao Yi silently took out a short sword but was quickly stopped by Li Changshou, who pulled Ao Yi past this person…

Sure enough, this Bian Zhuang who was painfully waiting for Ke Le’er didn’t notice anything unusual.

They heard Bian Zhuang recite softly:

“Ask what you’re thinking of, Le’er I know in my heart.”

Li Changshou secretly sighed, this was also a devoted person, unfortunately, he had gotten in the wrong direction.

No need to deal with him for now.

Ahead in the seawater, immortal light surrounded dozens of figures streaking through with trails of water from the sea’s surface.

The first person wore celebratory robes, looking full of spirit, holding an invitation in hand – naturally, it was old friend Old Man Under the Moon!

Around Heaven Palace’s small congratulatory team, there were vaguely several hundred dragon soldiers secretly protecting; when Old Man Under the Moon’s group reached Crystal Palace, those dragon soldiers turned back.

Li Changshou had already transmitted to Ao Yi and Old Man Under the Moon, directly setting their meeting and greeting words, and telling Old Man Under the Moon not to refer to himself as “this poor Dao cultivator.”

And Ao Yi and Old Man Under the Moon didn’t disappoint Li Changshou.

Ao Yi actively went out a hundred zhang to welcome him, making a Dao bow to Old Man Under the Moon, repeatedly thanking:

“Thanks to Old Man Under the Moon for fulfilling my and Sisi’s marriage! Thanks to Old Man Under the Moon for fulfilling my and Sisi’s marriage!”

“Hahaha,” Old Man Under the Moon stroked his beard and laughed, “Your two highnesses’ marriage was already harmonious and beautiful, I merely followed His Majesty’s orders to add flowers to the brocade.”

“Old Man Under the Moon please come inside,” Ao Yi stepped aside making a welcoming gesture, Old Man Under the Moon smiled and nodded as he walked forward with Ao Yi.

Li Changshou also came up beside them, confirming eye contact with Old Man Under the Moon, then said: “Your Highness, you go ahead and arrange Old Man Under the Moon’s seating in the main hall.”

Ao Yi smiled: “What need for arranging? It’s already prepared!”

Then, Ao Yi pulled Old Man Under the Moon’s wrist, the eight heavenly generals behind Old Man Under the Moon following closely, the thirty-six heavenly soldiers who had entered the seawater each slowing their pace.

As the group came toward Dragon Palace’s gate, the timing of Old Man Under the Moon’s arrival was also carefully calculated by Li Changshou.

In the main hall, thousands of guests were now using their immortal consciousness to collectively ‘look’ toward this place.

Most of them were unfamiliar with Heaven Palace’s system, only hearing what Li Changshou had just said, wanting to see this legendary Heaven Palace true god who could change people’s marriages.

However, just as Li Changshou and Old Man Under the Moon’s group flew to Dragon Palace’s gate, Li Changshou’s true body suddenly heard the Grand Master’s reminder:

“Changshou, Little Master Uncle also came.

The second silver-armored heavenly general on your left is Little Master Uncle’s avatar.”

Little Master Uncle?

Jade!

Old Lord on high, why did His Majesty the Jade Emperor come here? Wouldn’t this just add variables and increase his difficulty?

Li Changshou controlled himself with great effort to resist the urge to glare at Jade Emperor’s avatar.

However, one wave hadn’t settled when another arose.

At the gate, the self-pitying Bian Zhuang’s lifeless gaze swept over their group as he murmured:

“Ah, it’s not Le’er…

Le’er, are you not coming?

I, Bian Zhuang, swear that even if you don’t come here, I will find you in the future.”

“Hmm?”

Old Man Under the Moon, who was about to step through Dragon Palace’s gate, couldn’t help frowning and stopping his steps, turning his head to look at Bian Zhuang.

“He just called himself… Bian Zhuang?”

Li Changshou said: “That’s right.”

“I!”

Old Man Under the Moon’s eyes widened – after twelve years of struggle, to meet this bastard here!

Excited heart, trembling hands!

Old Man Under the Moon took out a pair of golden scissors, and if Li Changshou hadn’t quickly pressed down old friend Old Man Under the Moon’s arm, he would have already charged over and with a snip, physically fulfilled this once-in-ten-thousand-years devoted lover!
