Chapter 122: Junior Brother Qi, Why Don’t You Do It!

"Eldest Senior Brother, wait a moment."

Just then, Qi Yuan suddenly called out for him to stop.

He felt that since Lu Changfeng had the courage to take the Heartless Pill, it proved that this fellow had made a great resolution; it seemed he could still be saved.

After all, they were from the same sect; if he didn't try to dissuade him and just watched his Senior Brother step into a deep pit, he would feel a bit uneasy.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changfeng looked up at Qi Yuan. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qi Yuan reach out to cover the mouth of the bottle, then clear his throat and say seriously:

"Senior Brother Lu, doing this only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Not only will it fail to solve the fundamental problem, but it will also damage your Dao Heart and affect your future cultivation."

"I believe that if you want to forget Fairy Xiao, you need to find a way at the source. Since you even have the courage to take the Heartless Pill now, what else could you possibly not be able to do?"

"The source?"

Hearing Qi Yuan's suggestion, Lu Changfeng became lost in thought.

After a moment, not knowing what he had thought of, Lu Changfeng's face suddenly turned pale as he glanced down at himself, asking with trembling lips:

"Junior Brother Qi, do you mean that I should just go all the way and cut off this source of all evil?"

Saying this, he couldn't help but shiver, shaking his head like a rattle:

"I can't do that! I can't do that!"

"Although my 'little brother' has never had a chance to show his prowess with me, the Physical Body is the foundation of establishing the Dao, a treasure raft for crossing the world. How can I discard it so casually? I'll just take the pill…"

Dammit!

What kind of logic is that? Did I ever tell you to castrate yourself?

Qi Yuan's face was covered in dark lines. Forcing down the urge to curse, he advised earnestly:

"Senior Brother Lu, you've misunderstood me. The source I'm talking about isn't a physical object, but rather the spiritual aspect."

"As the saying goes, the best way to forget someone is to fall in love with someone else. There are plenty of fish in the sea; a man shouldn't hang himself from a single tree, right?"

"If there's no Fairy Xiao, there are other fairies. Why don't you try changing your target? You could even simp for a few more—cast a wide net to catch more fish!"

"Ahem… Trust me, many girls don't have very good eyesight; maybe someone will actually take an interest in you?"

At this point, he paused and added meaningfully:

"Simping for one makes you a simp; simping for a hundred… that makes you a Sea King!"

Sea King.

Hearing these two words, Lu Changfeng nodded repeatedly with surging emotions, feeling a sense of excitement despite not fully understanding but sensing its greatness.

After this burst of adrenaline, his posture quickly collapsed, and he became listless once again:

"Junior Brother Qi, you make it sound easy. How could any woman possibly compare to Fairy Xiao? Sigh…"

Qi Yuan didn't lose heart and immediately switched tactics, continuing to guide him patiently:

"Since you feel this path won't work, why not try another perspective? For us Cultivators, the most important thing is a stable Dao Heart. If the Dao Heart falters, a Heart Demon will invade in an instant, causing endless trouble."

"If you want to walk the Path of Forgetting Emotions, taking the Heartless Pill is only the worst option. Why not treat the Linglong Saintess as an Opportunity to temper your Dao Heart?"

"The more cold and indifferent she is to you, the more your heart should be as calm as still water, discarding all negative emotions, remaining untroubled and unburdened."

"If the day comes when she becomes someone else's Dao Companion and you still have no reaction, it will prove that your Path of Forgetting Emotions has reached Major Achievement. You will surely achieve greatness in the future!"

Although Qi Yuan couldn't bear to see Lu Changfeng take the Heartless Pill and fall into a slump, considering his own relationship with Xiao Yueni, he had to give him a preventative shot first to avoid any melodramatic falling out between fellow disciples later.

"Fairy Xiao becoming someone else's Dao Companion?" Lu Changfeng's face turned slightly green as he muttered, "Just thinking about that scene makes me feel uncomfortable all over, wishing I could bash my head against the ground. Yet, for some reason, there's a faint hint of anticipation in my heart…"

"If that really happens, my heart will be completely dead. It would be the perfect time to sever my Mortal World distractions and attain the Path of Forgetting Emotions!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression instantly became strange.

No way!

After this round of persuasion, could it be that some strange attribute has undergone Awakening within Eldest Senior Brother?

"Haha, I understand now! Junior Brother truly has extraordinary Comprehension Ability. This plan is brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Lu Changfeng seemed to have been enlightened, his eyes lighting up. "Fairy Xiao is my, Lu Changfeng's, tribulation. If I can remain firm in my will and overcome this tribulation, I will surely attain Supreme Emotionlessness and make great progress on my Dao path!"

"If Fairy Xiao finds a husband and I can endure this nightmare, my Path of Forgetting Emotions will be complete!"

As he spoke, his brow furrowed slightly, falling into a dilemma once again:

"Fairy Xiao has always been pure and aloof, with standards high above her head, showing no favor to any man. How can I get her to find a Dao Companion as soon as possible?"

Then, Lu Changfeng's spirit jolted, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at Qi Yuan beside him:

"Junior Brother Qi, why don't you do it!"

Qi Yuan: "????"

Lu Changfeng was now full of energy, looking enthusiastic:

"Fairy Xiao seems to have quite a good impression of you, otherwise she wouldn't have come specifically to find you today. Besides, Junior Brother, you have excellent character and overflowing talent; marrying her wouldn't be beneath her."

"More importantly, you are my closest fellow Junior Brother. If you do this, it will be easier for me to accept in my heart."

"Junior Brother Qi, it has to be you. Consider it a favor for your Senior Brother… I can even tell you about Fairy Xiao's personality and preferences to help you avoid detours…"

Is this guy crazy?

Qi Yuan stared dumbfounded at the rambling Lu Changfeng, feeling as if ten thousand grass mud horses were stampeding through his heart.

His expression was a mess as he opened his mouth, only managing to choke out a sentence after a long while:

"Forget it, you should just take the Heartless Pill."
