Chapter 153: Chapter 7: Immortal Realm Missionary (Part 7)

"What brings Qinglian Fairy here?" Li Shuning looked at Qinglian Fairy, who was seated across from her, and frowned as she asked.

Qinglian Fairy smiled, "I heard that Immortal Shuning has exited her seclusion, so I thought I would come and check on her. Last time, you were injured by Ling Yun Fairy; I wonder if you’ve recovered?"

"Thank you, Qinglian Fairy, for your concern. I have fully recovered. My seclusion was just for some insights, aiming for a breakthrough."

Qinglian Fairy suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, it’s actually my impulsiveness. I came because I saw how arrogant Ling Yun Fairy was, and it left me uneasy. Knowing you’ve exited seclusion, I couldn’t help but come and visit; I hope I didn’t bother you, Immortal Shuning."

Li Shuning flashed a smile, "I’m grateful that Qinglian Fairy could come to see me."

Their interaction had little overlap, and their conversation felt dry. Li Shuning was somewhat helpless, wondering what exactly this person wanted to do.

Even though she didn’t know what Qinglian Fairy’s intentions were, Li Shuning still braced herself to deal with it.

"Immortal Shuning, Sorry, I have to go."

Li Shuning frowned and asked, "Qinglian Fairy, what are you saying?"

Qinglian Fairy carefully observed the changes in Li Shuning’s expression and, noticing nothing unusual, gave a small smile, "Apologies, I was researching a certain spell earlier and couldn’t help but blurt it out. I shall take my leave now and won’t disturb you anymore, Immortal Shuning."

Li Shuning smiled and escorted Qinglian Fairy out of the small valley.

After Qinglian Fairy left, Li Shuning showed no expression. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She tidied herself a little, then left the small valley and flew towards where Li Chen and the others lived.

Shortly after Li Shuning left, a butterfly flew out of the valley.

From afar, Qinglian Fairy frowned and muttered to herself, "Did I imagine it? We were chatting the whole time; if she were as I suspect, she should have understood when I said that. But she showed no reaction. Does she truly not know, or is she pretending? Never mind, I need to observe more."

Li Shuning, however, smirked coldly. So she wanted to test her. Li Shuning was sure that this Qinglian Fairy was probably no longer the original Qinglian Fairy. The question was, is she someone possessing a ticket to this world to complete a task, or is she a time traveler?

Having completed so many tasks, Li Shuning had become quite adept at controlling her facial expressions. Otherwise, how could she survive?

How amusing that woman would try to test her using English.

The valley was indeed equipped with a restriction, but it was a barrier set by Yun Zimo himself; how could an ordinary Immortal detect it?

The butterfly Qinglian Fairy left in the valley wasn’t lost on Li Shuning either. This woman seemed somewhat presumptuous, thinking she was stronger, thereby acting recklessly towards Li Shuning.

Hopefully, Qinglian Fairy harbors no ill intent; otherwise...

Since that day, Qinglian Fairy would visit Li Shuning every few days.

Appearing as if she thought Li Shuning was bored with no one to chat with, she’d share bits of gossip from time to time, but the main focus was discussing Ling Yun Fairy’s misdeeds.

The slander was skillfully done, not stated outright but through recounting events that Ling Yun Fairy would get involved in.

A woman ascended from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Realm; her eyes bore some resemblance to Immortal Shuning’s. Unintentionally seen by Ling Yun Fairy, her eyes were actually gouged out.

Having become an Immortal, she naturally had some abilities; the woman managed to replace her eyes with a spell, but having lost her original eyes still affected her.

The poor woman, newly ascended, had neither connections nor friends. Having lost her eyes to Ling Yun Fairy and not even receiving an apology, she could only hide in a corner to heal her wounds quietly.

Immortal Spring Pavilion would prepare some Immortal Spring for Immortal Shuning every few days due to her attributes requiring it for cultivation.

However, a few days ago, Ling Yun Fairy appeared on the path the attendants take to deliver the spring water to Immortal Shuning and dripped spider poison into a container of spring water.

If not for the attendant noticing in time, the water used by Immortal Shuning for cultivation would have been tainted with poison.

Though it wouldn’t have caused severe consequences, it would have slowed Immortal Shuning’s cultivation, and her skin would corrode from the spider poison, possibly keeping her indoors for some time.

All these things Qinglian Fairy told Li Shuning, and upon investigation, Li Shuning found them true.

Li Shuning pondered and roughly guessed Qinglian Fairy’s intentions.

Having no backing herself, if she tried siding with Ling Yun Fairy, first, her storyline would end tragically, something she couldn’t accept; second, Ling Yun might not even welcome her.

So Qinglian Fairy came to Shuning, trying her luck.

If she were the original Shuning, hearing such things about Ling Yun Fairy would have undoubtedly disgusted her, and after accumulating many incidents, perhaps she would have informed Mr. & Mrs. Li. Coupled with Qinglian Fairy’s occasional friendliness, if Qinglian Fairy were ever mistreated on the battlefield, she might even speak up for her.

But Li Shuning was no longer the original Li Shuning.

With Yun Zimo handling matters on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, a situation that seemed quite extensive, explaining the long duration, she wouldn’t seek Ling Yun now to avoid unexpected incidents.

A few days later comes the day of the annual Wanxian Gathering at the Immortal Court.

Upon that day’s arrival, celestial music reverberated through the Immortal Realm, angels filled the skies, and countless Immortals gathered at the Immortal Court.

Even the Immortal Venerables had already assembled.

The Wanxian Gathering serves to provide a platform for Immortals to voice concerns, seek advice on cultivation challenges from the Immortal Venerables to aid progress, highlight potential issues within the expansive Immortal Realm, and coordinate adjustments for the year’s upcoming Immortal Demon battles.

This year’s Wanxian Gathering, however, seemed different.

Immortal Zimo stood coldly on a high platform, accompanied by several Immortal Venerables, seemingly ready for something.

When all Immortals had gathered.

Immortal Zimo suddenly waved his hand, enclosing the entire Immortal Court within a barrier.

Everyone was momentarily stunned as Butterfly Cloud Immortal Venerable grinned and asked, "Immortal Zimo, what is the meaning of this? Could it be there are Demon Clan spies in the Immortal Realm?"

Yun Zimo merely gave Butterfly Cloud Immortal Venerable a cold glance, causing the Immortal Venerable’s pupils to contract and fall inexplicably silent.

For a moment, an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

Finally, Yun Zimo spoke, "I have served the Immortal Realm for many years, dedicating myself wholeheartedly. Yet, recently, I heard something that greatly saddened me."
