Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Does it Hurt?_1

Lu Er stood up, "I’m leaving."

Startled, Lu Yi asked, "Lu Er, where are you going?"

Lu Er rubbed his chest and said with a sobbing tone, "It’s nothing. I just feel suffocated inside. I’m going to clear my mind... To be honest, I’m starting to doubt my life. I thought I was a genius, and yet I turned out to be inferior to a rabbit. That’s hard to take..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi tried to console him, "Don’t be like that, look on the bright side. Hasn’t our master taught us to be open-minded to achieve great things? This rabbit is extraordinary, so there’s nothing strange about it being able to read for a whole day. Look at me, I don’t get angry, because I know that although it’s extraordinary, it’s ultimately just a rabbit, and it definitely won’t be able to read beyond three days."

Lu Er asked, "What if it does read beyond three days? Will you still be able to stay calm?"

Lu Yi laughed heartily, "Of course!"

Three days later.

Lu Er, seeing Lu Yi suddenly stand up with a crestfallen and dejected look as he walked away, asked, "Lu Yi, where are you going?"

Lu Yi replied miserably, "I just feel so blocked up inside..."

Lu Er, "Didn’t you say you could stay calm about all this?"

Lu Yi replied with a defeated expression, "Am I not calm now?"

Lu Er was taken aback as he looked at Lu Yi, who was motionless and resigned; he seemed indeed calm... so calm that he was almost immobile.

Lu Er said, "Let’s go, let’s go together..."

"Lu Er, stop consoling me, I just feel bad," Lu Yi said.

Lu Er asked, "Me too... Lu Yi, what kind of breed do you think that rabbit is?"

Lu Yi, "Can we not talk about the rabbit? Every time you mention it, I feel like vomiting blood..."

Lu Er, "Alright, no more talk about it. If anyone brings it up again, we’ll get angry with them!"

Clenching his fist, Lu Yi said, "Right, if anyone brings it up, we’ll hit them! No matter who they are!"

"Dear Dao friends, have you seen a rabbit? He came here to study in Divine Wood Valley," just then, a gentle and beautiful voice sounded behind them.

Upon hearing this, they exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with ferocity. It’s like there’s a clear path to heaven, yet you force your way into hell. Did you really think our words are just hot air? Did you really think we won’t hit people?

So the two of them turned around, ready to curse, but as they did, they saw a woman dressed in white fairy garb, with features delicate as young shoots, skin smooth as tofu, neck sleek as a graceful snake, teeth bright as gourds, eyebrows like moth wings, lips red and radiant, pearly teeth shining within, eyes expressive and kind, smile charming and entrancing, gaze alluring. She was indeed a beauty that could overthrow cities, every bit a vision!

At that moment, they were struck as if by lightning, their minds went blank, and they stood there, dumbfounded.

All thoughts of dignity, anger, beating someone up... forgotten.

Instinctively, Lu Yi straightened his back, lifted his chin, sucked in his belly, and brought forth the best of his energy, vitality, and spirit. He raised his hand in greeting and said, "Esteemed fairy, are you looking for a rabbit called Qin Shou?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Er snapped back to reality and secretly sent a telepathic message, "Didn’t you say you were going to hit people?"

Lu Yi telepathically replied, "Shut up! If I told you to hit them, would you be able to do it? And if you dare stir up trouble again, I’ll beat you to death!"

Lu Er exclaimed, "Cao, are you really going to abandon all shame?"

Lu Yi responded, "If our words are just empty talk, then what’s the worth of face?"

Lu Er found himself at a loss for words...

"That rabbit is from my home. He hasn’t returned for several days now, and I’m quite worried. Could you Dao friends please send a message? Fairy Chang’e from the Moon Palace would like to meet with Master Lu of Divine Wood Valley to see the rabbit," said the visitor, who was none other than Chang’e. Having stayed at home for four days without seeing the rabbit return, she was finally no longer calm and had rushed over early in the morning to find the rabbit.

Not seeing it for one day, Chang’e could bear it, but the rabbit hadn’t come home for several nights in a row, and she eventually lost her composure and came looking for the rabbit.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi offered a slight smile and assumed what he considered to be the most perfect grin. He took a deep breath, adjusted the shape of his mouth for proper pronunciation...

And then... Lu Er said, "Of course, there’s no problem, Fairy. Follow me, I’ll take you to meet our teacher!"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist," Fairy Chang’e expressed her thanks and then followed Lu Er.

Lu Yi stood amidst the windswept chaos, and after a long while, bellowed, "Lu Er, you son of a bitch! Do you always have to steal the show like that?!"

"Fairy, you might not know this, but our teacher is the most generous person. If you just want to see Rabbit, he will surely agree," Lu Er assured, thumping his chest.

Chang’e replied joyfully, "Really?"

Lu Er laughed heartily and said, "Of course! Even if Master doesn’t allow it, won’t I still be here? I’ll speak well on your behalf."

"Thank you very much," Chang’e hastily expressed her gratitude.

"What’s there to thank? Lu Er ranks as San among us, and though his words might not always carry weight, with me here, there will be no issue. We’re the favorite disciples of our Master. Even if he refuses to let you see Rabbit, our intercession on your behalf will definitely ensure that you can," said Lu Yi, who had caught up to them.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist," said Chang’e.

Lu Er, peeved at having his lines stolen, seized the opportunity and quickly said, "What do you mean by ’might not carry weight’? Aren’t you also ranked as Er? You’re not the eldest disciple..."

"What about the eldest disciple? Without the eldest disciple, are our words ineffective?" Lu Yi glared at Lu Er.

Lu Er immediately replied, "Right, right, right... Our words are just as effective. Anyway, Fairy, rest absolutely assured, we’ll take care of this matter for you!"

"Thank you so much, both of you. But if you speak for me, won’t Master Lu be upset?" Chang’e considerately thought of the two brothers.

Upon hearing this, their hearts bloomed with joy, "How could that be? Master adores us so much he can’t get enough! Rest assured, we have this matter in the bag!"

As they spoke, they had already led Chang’e into Master Lu’s living room. A few minutes later, Master Lu’s commanding voice could be heard from inside.

"No!"

Lu Er’s voice arose, "Master, I have something to say."

"Get out!"

"Uh..."

Lu Er skulked out in disgrace.

Lu Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "Master, it’s just a quick glance from afar..."

"You get out, too!"

With his face burning red, Lu Yi rolled out as well.

Outside the main entrance, Lu Yi and Lu Er exchanged glances and finally heaved a long sigh, "Damn, we’ve been thoroughly humiliated today..."

Inside the hall.

"Master Lu, you...," Chang’e had not expected Master Lu to have such a fiery temper, and felt somewhat alarmed.

After shooing the two disciples away, Master Lu, with his legs crossed, said, "It doesn’t matter. Those two blockheads would be useless if they stayed. Anyway, it’s not possible!"

Fairy Chang’e furrowed her brows and asked, "Why not?"

Master Lu said, "That Rabbit is currently viewing the treasure sutra of Divine Wood Valley, which can only be opened once in a lifetime. The longer one looks, the more they learn, and the greater the benefits they receive. I understand that you hold great importance in his heart. If you were to go there, Rabbit might get distracted and stop reading. Wouldn’t it be a shame to ruin his future prospects forever?"

Chang’e replied in astonishment, "Really? Yu’er has such an opportunity?"
