Chapter 37, The Majesty of the Outer Door First Disciple
Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal said persuasively, "The Outer Door Leader might be nothing in front of the senior brother, but for us, it’s still best not to provoke him."
Lingya Immortal suddenly stood up, saying loudly, "What’s there to fear? We are all in the Golden Immortal Realm; even if we come to blows, I am not afraid of him at all; it would also be a good opportunity to teach him a lesson on behalf of senior brother."
Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal quickly said, "Brother Lingya, don’t be impulsive. What you don’t know is that this Outer Door Leader has a special skill called tattling; the moment we provoke trouble first, he will immediately go to Shangqing Palace to file a complaint."
Lingya Immortal was stunned for a moment and disdainfully said, "Is he really that shameless?"
Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, he is that shameless!"
Qiu Shouxian, with a faint sense of pride, said in a deep voice, "Then let’s not cause trouble. Senior Brother Duobao’s sojourn at Mirror Lake is a shared place for all of us; surely we can move elsewhere to drink?"
Lingya Immortal stood up laughing and said, "Right! Right! Let’s go somewhere else to drink; drinking and admiring flowers is indeed the best pairing."
Everyone got up one after another, carrying wine and delicacies, chuckling and flying ahead.
In front of Mirror Lake, Shi Ji and company were quietly chanting scriptures, when suddenly a noisy commotion approached. A group of people chatting and laughing flew up and sat by Mirror Lake, lighting a bonfire, starting to eat meat and drink wine heartily, their laughter echoing around. Some disciples even fluttered over Mirror Lake and sat down pondering the calm waters, causing splashing noises within the lake.
The voices of Shi Ji and the others chanting scriptures abruptly stopped; one by one, they looked angrily at the brazen group of Outer Disciples who dared to come again!
