Chapter 2589: I Have a Premonition...
Fairy Minyue saw her beloved disciple’s expression shifting as if she wanted to speak but held back, and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.They all say a master is like a mother, yet she herself had led Lianyue Fairy into Immortal Bow Hall many years ago, and still didn’t know that she had already found an immortal partner.
This showed that between this beloved disciple and her master, there was still some barrier, and she wasn’t willing to share the secrets in her heart with her.
It was just that Fairy Minyue knew her disciple was soft on the outside but firm within; if she herself intervened in the matter between her and her immortal partner, it might backfire, stirring up a rebellious mindset and causing their hearts as master and disciple to drift apart.
Therefore, Fairy Minyue decided not to meddle in this matter, lest she arouse her disciple’s disgust and make her even less willing to talk to her in the future.
"Master, my immortal partner’s identity is special. I once promised him that I would not reveal his affairs... so, please forgive me, Master!"
Faced with her master’s question, Lianyue Fairy hesitated for a while before finally speaking.
Her voice was not loud, but there was a note of firmness in her tone.
Fairy Minyue smiled wryly and said, "Lianyue, do you not even trust your master?"
Lianyue Fairy said anxiously, "Of course I trust Master. But... what I have promised, I cannot go back on my word!"
Seeing her so anxious that her eyes were brimming with tears, about to fall at any moment, Fairy Minyue smiled and said, "Alright, I won’t ask you about that. Then can you tell me how you and that immortal partner of yours met? And... what kind of Immortal is he? Your master really wants to know just what kind of outstanding male Immortal could attract you..."
As long as it didn’t touch upon Fang Bai’s identity and background, Lianyue Fairy felt there was no harm in speaking, so she lightly bit her lip, phoenix eyes rippling, and said, "I met him in the mortal world. He was the one who led me onto the Dao of Cultivation. You could say that without him, I would never have appeared in the Immortal Realm..."
Lianyue Fairy was not usually very talkative in Immortal Bow Hall, but at this moment, once she started talking about Fang Bai, it was as if she could go on forever.
Fairy Minyue watched her beloved disciple’s radiant expression and eyes shining with light, and knew this was a sign that she was deeply in love. After hearing what her immortal partner had done, he turned out to be a sentimental and righteous Immortal who dared to act and take responsibility, so she finally felt at ease.
Lianyue Fairy was Fairy Minyue’s most cherished disciple, and she thought that having such an immortal partner actually allowed her to feel relieved.
"Your immortal partner ascended to the Immortal Realm before you, and now you are separated in two different places. Have you ever thought of going to find him?"
Fairy Minyue asked.
Lianyue Fairy nodded and said, "Yes! I’ve always thought about it! But my Cultivation Level is too weak, and the Immortal Realm is dangerous. If I ventured out to search for him and something unexpected happened, wouldn’t we never see each other again? So... I decided to stay in the Sect and wait for him in peace. Mm, I know he will definitely come to find me."
She figured that at this time, Fang Bai should already have resolved the Wuying Sect matter and might be on his way to Immortal Bow Hall to meet her. For a moment her delicate brows danced, her face full of expectation.
"That’s good as well..."
Fairy Minyue nodded, and her heart finally settled down.
She truly feared that one day her beloved disciple would miss him too much and suddenly leave the Sect to search the entire Immortal Realm for her immortal partner.
Lianyue Fairy was the only disciple in Immortal Bow Hall who had comprehended Great Emperor Sword Intent. Her future immortal path was boundless, and all the high-level members of Immortal Bow Hall were very optimistic about her. If anything were to happen to her, it would be an irreparable loss to Immortal Bow Hall.
"Then cultivate well... If you cannot wait for him to come find you, once your strength is great enough, you can go search for him!"
Fairy Minyue said solemnly.
She felt that using this method to spur her disciple to cultivate even more diligently was indeed a good idea.
Lianyue Fairy pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Master, I have a kind of premonition..."
"Premonition? What do you mean?"
Fairy Minyue asked in surprise.
Lianyue Fairy’s pretty face glowed, and her eyes shone brightly as she said, "I feel... it won’t be long before he steps on seven-colored Auspicious Clouds and appears before me..."
Fairy Minyue couldn’t help but smile, rubbed her head, and said, "I hope so as well. When he comes, you won’t have to be distracted and can cultivate with peace of mind. By the way, your immortal partner is a Loose Cultivator, right? When he comes here, just have him join our Immortal Bow Hall."
Lianyue Fairy neither agreed nor disagreed, but inwardly thought, "Fang Bai wants to rebuild the Emperor’s Palace and seek revenge on the eight top Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm; how could he join Immortal Bow Hall... But having him serve as an Elder of Tribute in Immortal Bow Hall would be possible."
A few days later, Lianyue Fairy did not wait for Fang Bai, but instead waited for a piece of news that enraged all the disciples of Immortal Bow Hall, including herself.
Among the various Immortal Sects in the Western Desolate, Flying Swan Peak, where the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor resided, was the strongest.
Including Wuying Sect, Immortal Bow Hall and the other ten great Immortal Sects, there were thousands of Sects of all sizes, and every ten years they had to pay a "protection fee" to Flying Swan Peak in exchange for Flying Swan Peak’s shelter.
In reality, unless powerful enemies from outside the Western Desolate invaded, Flying Swan Peak would seldom intervene; as for the internal strife among the various Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate, as long as the balance was not broken and no powerful competitor emerged that could threaten Flying Swan Peak’s status, Flying Swan Peak would habitually turn a blind eye.
The "protection fee" paid by the various great Sects to Flying Swan Peak was an enormous amount of Cultivation Resources. It was precisely by "sucking blood" from the Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate that Flying Swan Peak was able to continuously cultivate batch after batch of powerhouses to intimidate the Western Desolate.
In fact, no Sect was truly willing to pay the "protection fee," but if they didn’t, they feared they would face Flying Swan Peak’s deliberate difficulties, so all the Immortal Sects could only swallow their anger.
This time, what enraged the disciples of Immortal Bow Hall was that it was one thing for Flying Swan Peak to make them hand over Cultivation Resources, but an Elder and two Stewards from Flying Swan Peak actually named Immortal Bow Hall’s ten most outstanding young disciples and demanded to take them away, claiming it was "a rare opportunity to go to Flying Swan Peak and receive the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor’s guidance."
The disciples of Immortal Bow Hall were not fools. They knew that once their Sect’s disciples went to Flying Swan Peak, they would be forcibly "brainwashed" and might very well leave their Sect and join Flying Swan Peak.
Flying Swan Peak had done similar things more than once. Later, when the various Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate banded together to denounce them, Flying Swan Peak had somewhat restrained itself, yet now they had actually set their sights on Immortal Bow Hall.
"Dayan Immortal Emperor, my Immortal Bow Hall’s disciples have our own experts in the Sect to guide them; there is no need for the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor to trouble himself! So... as for your request, we must refuse! Please leave!"
Facing Dayan Immortal Emperor, who had come to their door and possessed an Immortal Emperor Realm Peak cultivation, the Zigong Immortal Emperor of Zigong Hall remained expressionless and met him with a cold face.
In order to smoothly collect the "protection fee" and take away ten of the most outstanding young disciples from each Immortal Sect, Flying Swan Peak had dispatched five high-level figures this time, with Dayan Immortal Emperor at their head.
