Chapter 17: Senior Brother? (Part 1)

  At dawn, Luoyu and Li Dabai arrived at the main peak together. Because of the prohibition on flying in the air above the main peak, the crane left them at the mountain gate and flew away. Luoyu followed the route that Zixi had told her to walk towards the Transmission Palace, but then got lost.

  Li Da Yu was getting anxious, if not for Luo Yu's promise that she could find the place, they wouldn't be wandering around on this mountain. Time was running a bit late, if they didn't find it soon, they would miss it.

  At this time, a young man wearing a cyan robe with golden trim walked over from the opposite side. This was a direct disciple! Luo Yu's eyes lit up, and she saw that his angular face was clean and white, with sword-like eyebrows, deep black eyes, a straight nose bridge, perfect lips, and a warm expression. He truly looked like an immortal among mortals. Even though she favored her own brother, she had to admit that Zi Ye's appearance after growing up couldn't compare to this person's.

  "Excuse me, senior brother, may I ask where this is? My sister and I want to go to the Daoist temple, could you tell us how to get there?" Luo Yu asked as she approached him. The handsome man was a pleasure to look at, but without any improvement in cultivation, it was really not worth much.

  Song Ning looked at the little girl who was only up to his waist, her grey servant attire making her bright eyes and white teeth, and her cheeks like fresh lotus flowers, really cute. At this moment, she was asking him for directions with shining eyes, and behind her was a beautiful young girl staring blankly at him. Was this the girl's way of hitting on him? Well, using a cute kid to break the ice was somewhat novel. If his friend Chu Yang knew about it, he would be ridiculed again.

  When she saw the handsome brother, he didn't say a word, only slightly furrowed his brow and looked behind her. Luo Yu turned around to look, and saw that Li Da was staring blankly at the handsome brother's face, clearly being enchanted, while the man was the opposite.

  "This scene looks so familiar! Luo Yu suddenly realized, she quickly made amends: "Brother, we really just asked for directions, nothing else! If you don't know, then forget it, I'll take my sister and leave.""

  As she spoke, Luo Yu went to pull Li Da Ya, and it was only then that Li Da Ya came back to her senses, her face flushing bright red as she lowered her head and followed Luo Yu.

  Watching the two of them walking in the opposite direction of the Wen Dao Pavilion, Song Ning couldn't help but feel frustrated. Regardless of whether they were intentionally teasing him or not, he had to admit that they had succeeded.

  "Wait, you're going in the wrong direction. I'm also heading to the Daoguan, why don't both of you sisters follow me?"

  Luo Yu hastily followed behind Song Ning, while Li Da Ni walked silently with her head down.

  "Continue in the direction you were just heading for half a mile and you'll arrive at Zhang Men's residence. Given your current identities, it's not suitable for you to go there; take note of this for next time."

  (⊙o⊙) Ah! No wonder I didn't see anyone. Wait, 'Head of the sect, handsome man, Qīngdào Pavilion......'

  "You're Song Ning! Ah, Teacher Song, - Uncle?" Luo Yu stuttered a bit. She hadn't been in the storyline for a long time and had already forgotten this exceptional male supporting character.

  It is said that the male lead is for the female lead to love, while the male supporting character is for the female reader to love. Song Ning is indeed a great man who excels at domestic chores and traveling, but unfortunately, he fell into the author's cliche - 'the senior brother falls in love with the junior sister, the junior sister falls in love with another family's senior brother, and vice versa!' Song Ning is that unlucky senior brother. Oh, Song Ning's cultivation is still immature, it will take him over a decade to become a qualified senior brother.

  Alas, this annoying senior brother and junior sister!

  "Ah, I'm Song Ning!" Song Ning was taken aback, could it be that she really wasn't there to hit on him.

  Luoyu became a gourd with its mouth cut off, silently following along. As a reader, Luoyu also liked the male supporting character, but only liked him that much. This senior brother was destined to like the female lead Luoxue, so what should Sister Li do?

  As soon as Song Ning and the other two walked into the door of Lecture Hall No. 1 in Qidao Building, they heard the shrill cries of the female cultivators, like tens of thousands of ducks quacking, extremely noisy.

  "Brother Song~""Uncle Song~""Brother Song is so handsome~""Uncle Song was already in the middle of building his foundation at 18 years old"······

  "Ah - -, who are those two women behind Shixiong?!"

  Ah! Got shot! Big sister, they are only 6 and 11 years old, where did the woman come from? But Luo Yu didn't dare to linger, pulling Li Da Ya out from behind Song Ning, heading towards the seats downstairs, but saw a dense crowd of people, even the walls were covered with people.

  "Sister, Teacher Li, over here!" Zi Yun stood up and waved at the two of them.

  Luo Yu and the other person apologized all the way until they reached Zi Xi's side, during which they received a bunch of cold stares, especially from some female cultivators whose gazes were fierce, as if they wanted to devour them.

  She sat down with her legs crossed, only to find that her cousin Huang Ziqiang was also there. Luo Yu hastily greeted him. At this moment, she heard a cold hum, like the sound of spring thunder exploding in her ears, and then the scene fell silent.

  Recently, the manager of Wenda Ge invited me to give a lesson to all the younger brothers and sisters. This time I will talk about my understanding of Tao.

  "The Tao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two gives birth to Three; Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and the interplay of the two gives rise to harmony."

  Song Ning's in-depth analysis made everyone gain a lot, and Luo Yu also felt that her mind had cleared up a bit.

  "The Way cannot be named or described. Everyone has their own understanding, and I hope you all find your own way soon. That's all for today. If you have any questions, please raise your hand."

  For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, with screams erupting everywhere, especially from the female cultivators.

  "Silence!" Song Ning frowned, "The woman in blue in the second row can ask questions now."

  A 28-year-old woman stood up, slender and elegant, with a beautiful face, she was a delicate and weak beauty.

  "Big brother, my name is Chuchu, I'm an inner disciple of Shuiyue Peak. I want to ask big brother something... " The beauty lightly bit her red lips, looked up at Song Ning, saw him staring, and lowered her head as if startled, with a pitiful and lovely appearance.

  Song Ning's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Junior sister, don't be afraid, just speak up if there's anything!" His voice was clearly tinged with a few parts of impatience.

  "Chu Chu, Chu Chu just wants to ask what kind of female cultivator Brother likes? Will Brother like me? But I actually like Brother." Chu Chu suddenly lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at Song Ning, a stubborn and unyielding expression on her face that was truly pitiful.

  One word shook the heavens and stunned the earth; the scene was silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

  "Despicable person! You're also worthy of liking Brother Song!"

  "On-the-spot confession, Chu Chu's maiden is mighty——"

  In the midst of this commotion, Luo Yu turned her head to look at Li Da Ya by her side, only to see that she was pale and somewhat terrified. Luo Yu grasped her hand but didn't offer any words of comfort. Once you've seen clearly, you'll soon give up your illusions.

  Song Ning's face changed with anger, and he severely scolded: "The Qīng Dào Guǎn is a place for spreading the Tao and resolving doubts, not a place for you to talk about romance and ask about others' private matters. If anyone makes this mistake again, they will be asked to leave from here!"

  With a "wow", Chu Chu ran out with her face covered.

  "Chu Shi Mei, where are you going? Wait for me—" A man in a green robe stood up and chased after her.

  What's going on here? This is a big show!
