In Ling’e’s grass house;

This pair of senior-junior siblings moved two round chairs, sitting side by side by the window, watching that pair of old immortal lovers under the willow tree by the lake.

Ling’e used magical power to hold two trays containing dried fruits and snacks that Senior Brother liked, with refreshing clear tea steeping beside them.

Li Changshou made some arrangements outside Ling’e’s grass house to prevent Forgotten Emotions Upper Person from discovering the two of them observing in the ‘light.’

Small Qiong Peak’s special viewing group was online again!

Xiong Lingli was busy developing new territory for the spirit beast pen. She didn’t understand this matter much and wasn’t interested, so she didn’t come join the excitement.

Li Changshou didn’t need to make these arrangements…

Those two only had eyes for each other—how would they care what was happening around them?

Birds sang and flowers fragrant, gentle breeze pleasant;

Willow branches swayed with bone-melting tenderness, making one’s heart ripple gently like the water of that small lake.

In this scene and feeling, Li Changshou’s poetic nature arose again, but after thinking, he wisely chose to give up.

Better not embarrass himself in front of his junior sister.

Ling’e’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she raised some minor objections to Senior Brother’s earlier action of offering medicine to Ancestral Master.

“Senior Brother, us helping Ancestral Master do this thing, isn’t it somewhat… inappropriate?”

Ling’e’s fingers twirled a lock of her beautiful hair as she asked softly.

“Naturally it’s inappropriate,” Li Changshou said calmly, “Now that those two have developed to this stage, any extra push would cause accidents.

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person is also that kind of… personality difficult to simply describe.

If Little Ancestral Master succeeds using this method, how would the two face each other after the drug’s effects wear off?”

Ling’e immediately became somewhat troubled, saying softly:

“If it’s mutual love, then it should be fine…

No, that’s not right. It might cause unhappiness if Forgotten Emotions Upper Person feels he was violated.”

She turned her head to the side, not daring to directly look at Senior Brother beside her, her neck flushed red, “If that’s the case, Senior Brother… why did you still give Little Ancestral Master that thing?”

“Don’t worry, it was fake.”

“Ah?”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and said: “Do you remember when I scolded you about the matter of Wang Qi and Liu Yan’er?”

“Mm,” Ling’e nodded gently, pitifully saying: “Senior Brother scolded me so fiercely that time, it ranks in the top three of these many years, how could I forget?”

“Haha,” Li Changshou laughed lightly a few times and explained, “Liu Yan’er and Wang Qi were also mutually in love, but Liu Yan’er was still hesitating at that time.

Matters of emotion aren’t simply about being in love with each other necessarily leading to results—there are many other factors to consider.

Love between men and women is a frequently mentioned topic in the human world because it’s one of the three most important things for mortals.

But a person can’t only have love—they should have other aspects, such as pursuit in cultivation.

If one places all their thoughts completely on some romance, it will only make that romance distorted and increasingly heavy, finally dying without illness.

Looking at Forgotten Emotions Upper Person, it’s the same principle.

He might be concerned about his dao or might be concerned about his current reputation in the sect…

In short, using force definitely won’t work.”

Ling’e listened seeming to understand yet not understand. Senior Brother seemed to have answered her question but also seemed not to have answered anything…

Moreover, Senior Brother had taken the opportunity to educate her.

“But, Senior Brother…

The key point now is that Ancestral Master thinks that’s that kind of medicine. If it has no effect, what about Ancestral Master?”

Li Changshou couldn’t help but smile with narrowed eyes, pinching a dried immortal apricot and slowly chewing it as he said:

“That depends on how Ancestral Master chooses.

If Ancestral Master first expresses her thoughts, saying ‘our relationship should be able to advance further’;

If Forgotten Emotions Upper Person agrees and drinks that bottle of cultivation-nourishing liquid, even if he doesn’t feel anything unusual, he will still take a step forward.

If the Ancestral Master doesn’t express her thoughts and only secretly drugs him, then naturally Forgotten Emotions Upper Person will not react to drinking…

Thus, you and I naturally won’t be entangled in karma.”

Ling’e worriedly asked: “What if Ancestral Master blames us?”

“If Ancestral Master comes to punish us, we only need to say one sentence—’ Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s cultivation is too high—and it will be dealt with.”

Is, is it this complicated?

Ling’e listened from the side with her small mouth slightly open, expression somewhat blank.

Just a choice about whether to use medicine or not, how does Senior Brother have so many tactics…

Indeed, using the same method to arrange Senior Brother would completely fail.

Here, Li Changshou paused and looked at Ling’e somewhat disappointedly: “The principle in this is so simple, yet you couldn’t understand it.”

“Senior Brother!”

Ling’e raised her hand in front of Li Changshou and said softly: “No need to say more—five hundred readings of the Stability Scripture!

Junior Sister willingly accepts punishment this time!”

Li Changshou slowly nodded and said: “I’m not trying to punish you. You must watch more, think more, learn to see the essence of problems through appearances…

Look, Ancestral Master is starting.”

Ling’e immediately became spirited, moving closer to Li Changshou as they watched the two drinking small cups under the willow tree together.

Under the willow tree;

After drinking one pot of wine, Jiang Lin’er took out another wine pot and gently blinked at Forgotten Emotions Upper Person.

“Um… want to drink some more?”

“Alright,” Forgotten Emotions Upper Person nodded with a smile. Though his words were brief, they carried a gentle feeling.

Seeing this, Li Changshou couldn’t help but secretly shake his head;

Forgotten Emotions The Upper Person was truly blinded by the love between men and women. Jiang Lin’er’s current expression details had directly betrayed her, yet Forgotten Emotions Upper Person hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Indeed, [Indulging in Beauty] was as terrible as [Getting Carried Away].

Jiang Lin’er pressed down on this wine pot several times, expression somewhat hesitant, but still poured a cup of wine for Forgotten Emotions and lowered her head, pursed her lips, not daring to look more, obviously having a guilty conscience.

“What’s wrong?”

Forgotten Emotions The Upper Person picked up the wine cup and asked gently, “Is there something difficult to say?”

“Um, no- nothing, you drink!”

“Good,” Forgotten Emotions Upper Person raised the wine cup, his eyes watching Jiang Lin’er;

According to Li Changshou’s estimate, Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s eyes should have automatically added ‘soft light effects,’ ‘shaping effects’…

Whitening wasn’t needed—though Little Ancestral Master was extremely evil, she was fair-skinned and beautiful.

That wine cup was slowly brought to Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s lips as he was about to taste without hesitation…

“Wait!”

Jiang Lin’er suddenly called out softly. Forgotten Emotions Upper Person couldn’t help but blink, his eyes carrying slight confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

“I! Nothing…”

Jiang Lin’er’s mouth corners twitched slightly as she gently bit her silver teeth and sighed: “Fine, I really can’t do this to you—I put medicine in this wine.”

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person frowned slightly.

Jiang Lin’er lowered her head, pouted, blinked her eyes, and said softly: “I felt that we’ve been reconciled for over ten years now, and should…

Take another step forward…

Find those steps we didn’t take back then…”

She raised her hand to fix her hair by her ear, her voice getting lower and lower, finally only saying: “You understand, right?”

Forgotten Emotions The Upper Person laughed freely and asked: “What medicine is this?”

“Love water I got,” Jiang Lin’er was loyal and didn’t betray her little grand disciple, raising her hand with a thumbs up, “They say the effect is super strong!”

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person laughed helplessly, raised his wine cup, and amid Jiang Lin’er’s soft cry, drained it in one gulp.

“Ah!”

“Ahem,” Forgotten Emotions Upper Person put down the wine cup and looked at Jiang Lin’er full of deep feeling.

“Lin’er, I’m not good at this way, only knowing cultivation. Many times I can’t care for you perfectly.

Next… how should we… can you teach me?”

“This… this…”

Jiang Lin’er’s face immediately turned completely red as she stammered for a while, “This, I also don’t know…

Probably, first, wait for the medicine to take effect… right?”

“Very well.”

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person nodded solemnly, and then the two sat under the willow tree, eyes meeting, quietly waiting.

A moment later…

“Want to drink more?”

Jiang Lin’er asked weakly.

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person stroked his chin and hummed in thought, slowly nodding as he took the wine pot and poured himself another cup.

Another moment later…

“Do you feel anything?” Jiang Lin’er asked puzzledly.

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s brows furrowed even tighter as he simply picked up the wine pot and drained it.

As the wine pot came down, their eyes met;

Jiang Lin’er’s pretty face was bright red, but Forgotten Emotions Upper Person was extremely serious, sitting cross-legged there, striving to find the medicine’s effects.

Thus, after half an hour…

The two under the tree looked at each other in bewilderment. Beside them, Forgotten Emotions Upper Person had already started closing his eyes to check himself, seeing if he had…

Well, any physical ailments.

“Pfft!”

In the grass house, Ling’e couldn’t help but laugh out loud, covering her mouth with her small hand, curling into a ball in the chair, constantly shaking.

Beside her, Li Changshou’s forehead was covered in black lines as he stared at this pair of old immortal lovers under the tree.

What, what the hell?

Did Forgotten Emotions Upper Person truly not understand anything about this matter?

Could it be that this Upper Person in his long years had completely focused on cultivation with single-minded devotion, never taken any detours, and never used divine sense to peek at lower cultivation dao companions in the sect?

How was this possible?

But…

Looking at Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s expression, this gaze;

Feeling Forgotten Emotions Upper Person striving to circulate immortal power, searching for the non-existent love water effects…

Li Changshou truly couldn’t imagine this was an old immortal who had ‘five pairs of dao companions out of nine disciples’!

Grand Magus above, how should one tell Forgotten Emotions Upper Person that holding hands won’t produce babies?

Li Changshou couldn’t help but groan, feeling somewhat helpless about the current situation…

He certainly couldn’t directly transmit voice guidance from hiding—that karma would be too great.

…

Forgotten Emotions Upper Person left Small Qiong Peak at dusk with some confusion. Jiang Lin’er charged fiercely to Li Changshou and Ling’e’s hiding place.

Li Changshou naturally couldn’t reveal he had given fake medicine, smiling and explaining that perhaps Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s cultivation was too strong—the pills refined by a small disciple like him somewhat lacked potency.

Thinking carefully, Jiang Lin’er felt this made sense.

She sighed deeply and lay face-down on Ling’e’s bed;

Then remembering lying face-down was very disadvantageous for herself, she turned over.

Speaking of Primordial World salted fish, it probably referred to someone like her.

Li Changshou asked: “Ancestral Master, what do you want to do next?

Since you’ve already confirmed Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s heart, why not press the advantage—this matter is better early than late.”

“Sigh, how to press the advantage,” Jiang Lin’er answered weakly, “For this kind of thing, I can’t as a woman take the initiative to teach him. Moreover, this Ancestral Master… also doesn’t have any…

Ah! Forget it forget it!

This matter gets more messy the more we talk about it. Let’s leave it like this for now!”

Li Changshou seemed to want to say something but stopped, then decided to still handle it from Forgotten Emotions Upper Person’s side. He made a Daoist salute to his Ancestral Master and took his leave.

As night fell and Li Changshou rode a cloud back to the pill room, he also kept thinking about this matter.

With several… academic questions;

Li Changshou turned his divine consciousness to the paper puppet at the dragon palace feast, opened his eyes, and looked at Master Yue beside him.

All marriage fate in Heaven and Earth was managed by this old friend—might as well ask if Master Yue had any wonderful methods for ‘knowledge popularization’!

However, when he transmitted the question, Master Yue was also somewhat confused.

“Fellow Daoist Sea God,” Master Yue transmitted back, “This, this minor immortal only manages matchmaking, not what happens after matchmaking.

This, how can matters of beings’ reproduction be taught?”

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said: “Alright, pretend I didn’t ask. Many thanks, Fellow Daoist. I’ll continue thinking of ways.”

Master Yue puzzledly asked: “Is Fellow Daoist trying to match who with whom?”

“Indeed, two friends of mine,” Li Changshou said, “One is rather pure, one is extremely pure. When the two get together, they only talk about cultivating the dao, and discuss how to achieve longevity—it’s truly somewhat difficult.”

Master Yue smiled and said:

“Fellow Daoist, if one only pursues these things, it falls to a lower level.

Dao companions are companions who accompany cultivation.

Having already cultivated immortality and transcended mundane matters, why must one still care so much about this? If they don’t want offspring, there’s no need to seek anything—this is also quite good.”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and said: “Many thanks to Master Yue for teaching me.”

Though it wasn’t very useful.

At present, Li Changshou accompanied Master Yue and several celestial generals drinking a few cups of wine, not even knowing how many tables this counted as, still with abundant seafood before him.

Not bringing Lingli was truly a pity.

Later, Li Changshou again divided his attention elsewhere;

His true body in the underground secret chamber spread out a paper, striving to recall the popular education he received in his previous life, blending it with the Primordial World’s [Speaking Half] characteristics, and began compiling a treasure map for Forgotten Emotions Upper Person.

After midnight…

“Great achievement complete!”

Li Changshou put down his brush and raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead.

Later through Uncle Master Jiu Wu’s hands, this item would be presented to Forgotten Emotions Upper Person, and he wouldn’t need to worry about subsequent matters.

To avoid causing karma, Li Changshou only revealed about…

Well, about one-tenth of the eighteen martial arts he had learned from various teachers in his previous life.

Just as Li Changshou was about to put away the brush and ink, he suddenly thought of something. The smile at the corners of his mouth carried some mischievous interest as he picked up the brush and wrote four small characters for this set of ‘mosaic diagrams.’

“New Marriage Treasure Record.”

Subsequently, Li Changshou put down his self-made brush and stretched his tendons and bones.

He was just about to use immortal power to seal away this treasure map he had painstakingly created when suddenly a golden light flashed before his eyes!

A wisp of weak Heaven’s Way merit power directly fell on his primordial spirit.

This…

Li Changshou couldn’t help but be stunned, looking down at this diagram, and then looking at his slightly increased merit reserves.

This worked too?

Could Lord Heaven’s Way be hinting that if he spread this thing out, he would be rewarded with more merit?

Better not—the karma this thing would have to bear was truly too great.

Li Changshou shook his head and wrote one final sentence on this mosaic diagram…

‘Burn after reading, do not share with others.’

The core emphasized one word: stability.

After all, the merit Lord Heaven’s Way had sprinkled down couldn’t be forcibly taken back.
