Chapter 768

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Ye Yu turned his head and saw beside him a fairy of stunning beauty—someone who had appeared without him noticing.

Her whole presence radiated a lazy elegance that instantly caught the eye.

Qin Xihe, who had been facing away from Ye Yu, immediately spun around, and upon seeing the newcomer clearly, she froze in panic.

“Senior Sister Jiang, you—you’ve returned?”

“What kind of words are those? Yixing Pavilion is my home. I’ve traveled enough outside, so naturally I want to come back. But Junior Sister, you seem quite nervous!”

As she spoke, the woman approached behind Qin Xihe and placed her hands on Qin Xihe’s shoulders. Yet her beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Yu as she softly said, “Hello, let me introduce myself—I am Jiang Yumo, Qin Xihe’s senior sister.”

Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“Jiang Yumo... Why does that name sound so familiar? Where had he heard it before?”

Qin Xihe blinked at Ye Yu and whispered, “Senior Sister, you’re overthinking, right? You’re back; why would I be nervous?”

Seeing this, Ye Yu immediately understood and cupped his hands: “Immortal Lord, I have other matters, so I won’t disturb your reunion. Farewell.”

Qin Xihe quickly waved to cut off Jiang Yumo’s chance to speak: “Yes, if you have things to do, go quickly, go!”

As Ye Yu turned to leave, he deliberately glanced at the top of Jiang Yumo’s head.

Above her appeared three wishes clearly displayed:

“Junior Sister Qin Xihe safely returned—what a blessing! But who is the male immortal she is alone with in the main hall? I want to know everything about him! (White)”

“Over three hundred years, the promised Sea Wave Patterned Cloud Dress for my best friend has not been found. How can I give her a satisfactory answer? Can’t keep avoiding this, right? (Blue)”

“Legend says that lucky people meet their destined partner during travels, but why did I meet a madman instead? Am I truly unlucky? I want to find my destined partner soon! (Cyan)”

After reading the three wishes, Ye Yu’s expression shifted slightly.

Jiang Yumo—no wonder the name sounded so familiar.

She was his mother’s dearly missed close friend.

If not for the tongue-twisting name of the Sea Wave Patterned Cloud Dress, Ye Yu might not have recalled her.

Honestly, the Heavenly Realm was truly small—everyone was somehow connected.

Coming to a sect where the sect leader’s senior sister was his mother’s close friend—that was something!

The first two wishes were easy enough to fulfill, but their rewards would be modest.

The third wish was somewhat substantial—wanting to find one’s destined partner? Pure love brain, huh?

Hmm, looks like he’d need outside help for that.

A cyan wish—not to be missed!

After Ye Yu left, Qin Xihe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, as long as he was sent away, she held all the right to explain things.

She steadied herself, her mind racing to prepare an explanation of Ye Yu’s existence for Senior Sister Jiang Yumo.

But who knew one sentence from Jiang Yumo would completely break her composure?

“Junior Sister, your taste in men is excellent. Such a handsome male immortal all taken by you—looks like you’ve truly awakened. Don’t deny it; your eyes have already betrayed you.”

Qin Xihe’s heart suddenly panicked, and she instinctively stepped back half a pace.

“Eyes? What eyes? Could it be that my gaze toward Ye Yu has changed?”

She blinked repeatedly, internally determined never to admit it.

However, Jiang Yumo gave no chance to speak and unleashed another verbal combo.

With a wave of her long sleeves, hands behind her back, she imitated Qin Xihe’s voice: “I need time to face our relationship; otherwise, I don’t know how to face you.”

What is social death?

This is true social death!

Being mimicked by one’s senior sister—Qin Xihe was completely stunned.

But Jiang Yumo gave no respite and moved closer to Qin Xihe’s shoulder, softly asking, “Junior Sister, after just a ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ few hundred years apart, you’ve come far. Saying such cheesy things—I underestimated you!”

Qin Xihe silently lowered her head, then suddenly took a step forward.

The main hall of Yixing Pavilion instantly cracked and split!

Jiang Yumo’s figure shimmered and rose into the sky.

“Junior Sister, your temper is still so fiery. Every time you lose an argument, you resort to hitting. That’s not good! Fine, I won’t tease you today. Tomorrow I’ll unleash my full firepower!”

After saying this, Jiang Yumo’s figure completely vanished.

Meanwhile, Qin Xihe in the ruins covered her face with one hand, utterly frustrated.

The Yixing Pavilion fairies showed no surprise at this.

They had seen this scene countless times—nothing new.

Whenever Immortal Lord Qin Xihe lost to Senior Sister Jiang Yumo in argument, she would choose to go berserk physically.

This was their common way to end debates.

It didn’t mean their relationship was bad.

In fact, Jiang Yumo and Qin Xihe were truly as close as sisters.

They trained together early on in Yixing Pavilion, with excellent feelings between them.

But Jiang Yumo loved teasing Qin Xihe, and Qin Xihe, like a younger sister, whenever outargued by her senior sister, could only vent through simple violence.

Thousands of years passed; nothing changed!

Night fell.

Qin Xihe sat alone in the blessed grotto, still in a very low mood.

She and Jiang Yumo had completely different views about the sect.

Senior Sister believed times had changed; if one met a beloved partner, forming an immortal couple was a beautiful thing.

Qin Xihe still strictly upheld ancestral teachings, firmly sealing her heart and locking away love.

Therefore, she earned the position of Immortal Lord.

Of course, a big reason was that Jiang Yumo was very carefree, disliked any restraint, and naturally had no interest in the Immortal Lord position.

On the first day Qin Xihe became Immortal Lord of Yixing Pavilion, she solemnly told Jiang Yumo she would fully inherit their predecessors’ will.

She would forever ensure Yixing Pavilion was a safe haven for fairies, never allowing any male immortal to join the sect; only then could the fairies be guaranteed safety from harm.

At the time, her words were resolute and confident.

How high-spirited she had been then, how hard she was being slapped in the face now.

She had broken her original promise.

Once Jiang Yumo learned Ye Yu’s identity, she would definitely cling to this matter.

Moreover, even if Jiang Yumo sensed some hidden truth, Qin Xihe’s world would truly collapse.

No, Ye Yu had to leave Yixing Pavilion immediately!

Qin Xihe’s mind shifted, and she flew toward Ye Yu’s blessed grotto.

Unbeknownst to her, someone had already beaten her to it!
