Chapter 643: Stay Out of the Fairy’s Business (2)
"When I emerged from retreat, their Spiritual Pearls had already been offered up, and they had become mere mortals. Only then did I realize I had been manipulated. I treated them as sisters, surely I had to seek revenge, yet unbeknownst to me, this was all another ploy."
"It’s my fault for only knowing how to cultivate and not how to scheme. I thought being strong meant no one would dare plot against me, not knowing that years ago, someone had already coveted the Immortal Grass Garden."
"Caught in the scheme without realizing it, I gradually walked into the conspiracy, faced with sisters who went mad for love, thinking this sacrifice was worth nothing. My grief destabilized my Divine Soul, leading me directly into the demon path."
"Back then, I thought if I just killed the culprits and took back the Spiritual Pearls, everything would return to how it was. How naive I was."
"In the end, I fell into demonhood, and they united to defeat me. They succeeded in their tribulation and ascended to Immortality. The second sister died in sorrow, and the remaining sisters lost their Spiritual Pearls and any chance to become Immortal again, doomed to eternal reincarnation."
"Daoist friend, is it difficult for you to kill them? This would mean going against the Immortal Realm."
Qiann Yan waved the giant sword in her hand: "Not difficult."
What’s so hard about cutting people down? Whoever blocks me will be cut down.
"Then I’ll trouble you."
Qiann Yan: "Wait a moment."
"Does the Daoist friend have any other requests?"
Qiann Yan: "What about those unrepentant sisters, still want them?"
The woman gave a bleak smile, her eyes devoid of the love she once had for those sisters: "Just protect the second sister for me. The rest, let them be as they wish. For the sake of so-called love, they abandoned me, their sister who protected them for countless years. So be it. Only pity the second sister, single-minded in her pursuit of the Dao, dragged down by them."
Qiann Yan: "Then it’s up to me?"
"Yes, up to you, as long as you can kill those who plotted against my Immortal Grass Garden."
"Refreshing."
Qiann Yan shouldered the giant sword and jumped into the well, while the woman standing at the edge of the well had an expression of serene calm. She slowly closed her eyes, not looking at the scene that might unfold within the well.
System 666: [Venerable, do you want to see the exciting scenes that will be transmitted from the Host’s side?]
The woman opened her eyes again, her voice gentle: "Thank you, but no need, just tell me the outcome."
"...The outcome of those people and the second sister."
There is no need to see anything else.
Immortal Realm, Immortal Grass Garden.
"I don’t know when the elder sister will emerge from retreat. Several younger sisters have already descended to the mortal realm, truly worrisome."
Xuan Shuang quickly performed the Rain Technique with her fingers, and immediately the entire Immortal Grass Garden was covered with a fine drizzle. The flowers and grasses, after absorbing the moisture, became more vibrant. Once the drizzle stopped, the plump water droplets hanging on the leaves fell into the soil along the leaf veins.
"In the storybooks, few scholars are good. What’s worth descending once? Truly confused."
Xuan Shuang grew more anxious the more she thought, frowning, her worried expression completely unlike her usual aloof demeanor in front of others.
"I’d better just go and see, they don’t know anything and might suffer losses."
Xuan Shuang was about to leave the Immortal Grass Garden when a voice behind her stopped her.
"Xuan Shuang."
Xuan Shuang turned excitedly, completely forgetting her composure upon seeing Qiann Yan, showing a rare girlish side. She ran two steps to her: "Elder sister, you’re out of retreat so soon? It’s been less than ten years, I thought it would take much longer."
Qiann Yan: "If I don’t come out soon, things will be overturned."
"Does elder sister know everything?" Xuan Shuang felt guilty, "I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop the sisters. They were curious about the scholars in the storybooks, went down to the mortal realm together. I couldn’t control them, nor could I bear to reprimand them."
