"Not bad."
Su Po looked at Li Shulou, who was wearing a high crown and ancient robes. After a while, he said, "I wonder, how should I address you now?"
Li Shulou said casually, "You can call me whatever you like, Brother Su."
"Is that true?"
Su Po looked at him and fell silent. "I want to call you 'fourth brother', but I don't know if that's still possible?"
Li Shulou smiled faintly. "I didn't betray anyone in the Immortals."
"Oh? Is that so? "Su Po's tone revealed undisguised doubt.
Li Shulou said calmly, "Indeed, the ways of the world have become much more indifferent to me, but not to you guys, but to other people and things."
Zhang Dongyun and Su Po both noticed that when he said the latter half of the sentence, he glanced at the bee and butterfly demons.
Li Shulou's words didn't seem to be just for Su Po, but for the two demons as well.
As expected, the bee and butterfly demons didn't look surprised, but there was a hint of regret in their eyes.
"Of course, I don't want to be enemies with anyone."
Li Shulou continued, "I just want to do something I'm interested in. The reason I returned to the Medicine Valley is because this place is suitable for cultivating spiritual flowers and herbs, so I disturbed you two again."
He introduced the two demons to Su Po. "I haven't mentioned them before, but this is the Mirage Butterfly King, my adoptive father, and this is the Heaven Origin Bee King, my adoptive mother."
Slowly, Su Po nodded. "No wonder you looked at the bees and butterflies differently back in the Flameyellow World."
Li Shulou sighed. "I've been an orphan since I was young, and it was only because my adoptive father saved me that I didn't die in the mouth of a demon beast. My adoptive father also asked my adoptive mother to raise me with royal jelly. I should repay the bees and butterflies in the past, but now I feel that there's no difference between all living things."
As he said this, Zhang Dongyun and Su Po listened quietly.
However, their attention was no longer completely focused on Li Shulou. Instead, they divided a portion of their attention to the two monsters.
The Heaven Origin Bee King and the Mirage Butterfly King were silent, but their expressions were slightly complicated.
Obviously, Li Shulou himself would not boast in front of them that he had seen the ordinary bees and butterflies in the Flameyellow Realm and felt sentimental.
At this moment, hearing Su Po mention it, the two Great Demons were delighted.
However, their feelings were even more complicated.
It must be because of what Li Shulou had said before, that he had gradually become indifferent to all kinds of emotions.
Other than that, there were other emotions mixed in as well, which made Zhang Dongyun and Su Po even more attentive.
"I can't say for sure whether all creatures are equal or not." Slowly, Su Po asked, "However, I remember that you mentioned before that you have no intention of becoming enemies with anyone?"
Li Shulou smiled. "I like to grow flowers, refine pills, and read books. Once I'm enlightened, I'll impart my knowledge to those who are willing to listen to my lessons. It's a way to give back to the world. Other than that, I'm not interested in anything else."
Su Po did not beat around the bush. "Then, what about the fragments of the Immortals?"
Li Shulou's expression was calm, and his tone was as calm as ever. "Some people might be interested in it, but I'm not."
Hearing his answer, Su Po did not immediately scold him for lying. Instead, he fell into deep thought for a moment.
In the Daming Palace of Chang 'an City in the Flameyellow World, Zhang Dongyun leaned back in his chair, expressionless and silent.
His hands were clasped in front of him, his ring finger and little finger interlocked, his middle finger, index finger, and thumb facing each other, quietly looking at Li Shulou in the light image.
Li Shulou also looked calmly at Su Po, who was deep in thought. "It seems that it's not just because of what happened in the Immortals that you're so wary of me, but because someone has already caused trouble for you."
Su Po's eyes narrowed as he looked directly at Li Shulou.
Li Shulou's expression did not change. "The one guarding outside is Mr. Shen, right? Please invite her in. If you have any questions, we can clear them up face to face. It just so happens that I have some questions from reading the Confucian classics recently. Perhaps I can ask her a thing or two. "
Su Po was still silent.
After a while, Shen Herong's voice came from the seal on his forehead. "I wouldn't dare to ask for your advice. It's my fault for disturbing you."
It was not convenient for her to contact Su Po directly, but she could transfer through Zhang Dongyun in Chang 'an.
Although she could not see the image like Zhang Dongyun, she could hear the voice from Zhang Dongyun's side.
Therefore, she had also listened in on the conversation between Su Po and Li Shulou.
Seeing that Li Shulou had discovered her, she pondered for a moment and chose to enter this world.
The Ying Zhao brought Shen Herong to the courtyard in the bamboo forest. After greeting Li Shulou and the two Great Monster Saints, it took its leave and went to greet the guests.
After watching Ying Zhao leave, Shen Herong turned and asked, "Mr. Taiqing is indeed very different from before. Are you going to open your doors?"
Li Shulou smiled and shook his head. "No, only occasionally. As for my disciple, Chongyang is the only one. We are fated to be master and disciple, and his talent is extraordinary, so I made an exception and accepted him."
"I see."
Shen Herong nodded, then looked at Li Shulou and suddenly said, "Then how are Mr. Shangqing and Mr. Yuqing?"
Su Po took a deep breath.
He found that he could completely understand the feelings of the Heaven Origin Wasp Queen and the Illusion Butterfly King.
Because his feelings were also complicated at this moment.
He believed that his big brother and twelfth sister were in the same situation.
In the Daming Palace in Chang 'an, Zhang Dongyun's hands landed on the armrests of the throne.
One Qi Into Three Purities.
It was actually like this.
Some of the vague premonitions from before were now confirmed.
Li Shulou, who was ranked fourth among the Twelve Kings of Hell in the past, had split into three parts of the Great Three Transformations!
Wearing a white Daoist robe, with loose hair and no Daoist crown, he was dealing with Jing Hua, Lei Han, and Mahaloni.
This person in front of him, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, was another one.
If Zhang Dongyun's guess was right, the one who fought with Fu Tianshu for Chu Yaoguang was the third Li Shulou.
No wonder when he gathered all the news, he felt that the other's behavior was contradictory, and the time overlapped. He should be busy.
In fact, the one who fought with others for his sworn sister-in-law was Li Shulou. The one who fought with Chang 'an for the fragments of the Immortals and severely injured Lei Han was also Li Shulou. Now, the one who was leisurely preaching and standing aloof from worldly affairs was still Li Shulou.
There was no contradiction at all, because they were basically three different individuals doing their own things.
But why did it turn out like this?
"Only Mr. Taiqing, not Mr. Yuqing and Mr. Shangqing. After all, studying the Confucian classics is just my personal interest."
Hearing Shen Herong's question, Li Shulou laughed. "Of course, you can call me Daoist Taiqing. The other two are Daoist Shangqing and Daoist Yuqing."
He put away his smile and looked at Su Po and Shen Herong, then sighed softly. "The one who fought with you is Daoist Shangqing. The fragments of the Immortals that originally belonged to the three of us are also in his hands."
