Chapter 383 - 230: Dispute
Chen Qing replied irritably, "He’s not just obsessed! He’s gone mad. I think you should let your son succeed as the Celestial Master instead. You and I should go to Qingcheng Mountain for a while to cool off!"
"I think he can do it."
Zhang Xiufeng remained firm: "His transformation into the appearance of the Ancestral Celestial Master is absolutely not a coincidence!"
Chen Qing shivered slightly with anger and asked, "Then why did you call us here? To inform us? To let us witness how accurate your intuition is?"
"No, just as Fellow Daoist Zhang said, every aspect of the talisman is very particular. My abilities are limited, and with the Daoist Lineage cut off, I’m not very familiar with this area."
Zhang Xiufeng pondered for a moment: "So, I’d like to ask you all to draw the talismans you’re familiar with... but there’s no need to draw the talisman head."
"..."
The group widened their eyes again.
Then.
The next second.
Chen Qing suddenly flicked his sleeve and stood up furiously: "Not only are you going mad yourself, but you want us to go mad with you? Excuse me, but I can’t accompany you!!! I’ll go see that cat supposedly from the scenery! But asking me to draw a talisman! No way!"
"Don’t regret it later." Zhang Xiufeng frowned.
"Let me put it straight, if that Chen Lusi succeeds! I’ll directly recognize Dragon Tiger Mountain’s orthodox status! I might even dissolve all Daoist temples of Qingcheng Mountain on the spot!"
Upon hearing the words "don’t regret it later" uttered so confidently by Zhang Xiufeng, Chen Qing became even angrier: "I’ll just say this now! Even if I were to ascend to immortality right here! There’s no way I’ll draw a talisman! Not a single stroke!
If someone who knows nothing can make a talisman work just by adding a talisman head? Then why don’t you let Tang Language of the Celestial Strategy Mansion draw talismans for you!?
It’s simply delusional!!!"
...
At the same time.
Chen Lusi had no idea that because of him, four Daoists had burst into an argument.
He was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Because the floor was covered with carpet, he had probably realized it just before he fell.
So the two sisters were not really hurt; the relatively more delicate Lin Wan had only a slight blush on her fair face, looking perfectly fine.
But the current situation was indeed a bit awkward.
The two sisters were so close that they had almost become his cushion.
A very soft cushion.
"..."
Chen Lusi thought it over, intending to ignore the slight awkwardness and get up.
But just as he was about to make a move.
Lin Wan suddenly raised her hand, resting her snow-white arm on his broad back, her clear eyes full of excitement, and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you succeed?"
Chen Lusi could only temporarily give up and replied, "Yes."
"Where did you just teleport to?"
On the other side.
Lin Ying blinked her eyes, also showing a curious expression.
She didn’t dislike it; compared to her own predicament, she was more curious about what Chen Lusi just experienced.
"Peng City."
Chen Lusi replied once more, his face turning slightly strange.
It was mainly because they were too close.
He needed to look up, and the two sisters were indeed... very mature, plus, they were suddenly brought down unexpectedly, and both their breaths were somewhat quickened.
The sensation was very obvious.
"So random doodling works too?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying showed a thoughtful expression.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan revealed a look of yearning, clearly already dreaming of the future where she could meet her sister and Chen Lusi at any time.
Chen Lusi glanced at the two sisters who weren’t taking the situation seriously and was silent for a moment: "Don’t you find it heavy?"
"..."
Lin Ying snapped back to reality, then looked down at herself, and then at her dreaming sister, finally realizing her sister was also being pressed down. She paused and then said, "You can get up now."
Chen Lusi sat up.
Lin Wan felt a lightness come over her, finally breaking free from her dreamy state. She sat up, plopping down on the carpet in a somewhat cute duck-sitting position.
Very soon.
She noticed her sister and brother-in-law were staring at her.
"...What’s wrong?"
Lin Wan felt a bit guilty.
Lin Ying, kneeling on the ground, moved her round, slender, white, beautiful legs toward her sister, then pinched her cheek with a smile: "You’re my sister! Don’t act like a chambermaid. You should have realized something was off earlier."
"...What, was there something off just now?"
Lin Wan’s soft face started to heat up, but she still insisted: "Weren’t we like this when we were kids? If you feel shortchanged, we can press him back later."
"If anyone is going to press back, it’ll be your sister pressing back."
Lin Ying replied irritably: "What does it have to do with you? Besides, didn’t your brother-in-law tell you something last night? Didn’t you remember any of it?"
"Brother-in-law told me not to quarrel with you."
"..."
Lin Ying looked silently at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi paused silently, nodded.
"..."
Lin Ying felt a bit helpless.
Big dummy.
"Let’s not dwell on this, Sis."
Lin Wan timely changed the subject: "Aren’t you curious about how brother-in-law just came back? Didn’t that Daoist only give him one talisman? But brother-in-law just appeared directly."
"..."
Lin Ying looked at Chen Lusi again.
Chen Lusi didn’t hurry to answer but instead walked over to them and extended his hands to them: "Get up first, is kneeling on the ground that fun?"
The two sisters extended their hands.
Chen Lusi pulled them up, tidying up their slightly messy clothes along the way.
"So how did you come back?"
Lin Ying let Chen Lusi fuss over her while asking curiously.
Chen Lusi thought for a while and replied, "I redrew a talisman."
The two sisters: "..."
