Xianyun Fairy’s mind was in a mess, and it took a moment for her to regain her composure, then she strode towards Qin Yaorao and the white-clad Immortal. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

As Qin Yaorao’s senior, and the sister in the sect with the closest relationship with her, Xianyun Fairy planned to go over and find out clearly who exactly the white-clad Immortal was.

Qin Yaorao was a disciple highly valued by the senior members of the Golden Rainbow Sect and had been cultivated with much care, and Xianyun Fairy felt it was her duty as a junior sister to watch over her, ensuring she wouldn’t be whisked away by an unknown Immortal.

Perhaps sensing Xianyun Fairy’s approach, Fang Bai and Qin Yaorao, who were tightly embraced, slowly separated, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, to greet Xianyun Fairy.

Xianyun Fairy noticed that although Junior Sister Qin’s jade-like fair face carried traces of tears, her slightly curved lips were brimming with a happily sweet smile.

"Could that white-clad Immortal be Junior Sister Qin’s immortal partner?"

As someone who already had an immortal partner, Xianyun Fairy understood immediately upon seeing Qin Yaorao’s demeanor.

"Senior Sister Xianyun, let me introduce you. This is Fang Bai, my immortal partner."

Qin Yaorao smiled, graciously introducing Fang Bai to Xianyun Fairy.

Fang Bai nodded with a smile towards Xianyun Fairy, which served as his greeting.

Fang Bai’s current appearance was the same as when he had been reborn in the mortal realm, quite different from when he first arrived at Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain. Hence, Xianyun Fairy didn’t realize that the white-clad Immortal before her was the same one who had refined an Immortal Artifact for her and Junior Sister Qin.

"Junior Sister Qin, when did you get an immortal partner!"

Even though she had guessed it, hearing Junior Sister Qin say the word immortal partner out loud still surprised Xianyun Fairy.

She scrutinized Fang Bai, noticing his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his rosy lips and white teeth, his clear, unique aura, and found him to be a perfect match standing alongside the exceptionally beautiful, noble, and elegant Junior Sister Qin.

But if the news that Junior Sister Qin had an immortal partner spread back to the sect, wouldn’t all those disciples who admired her be thrown into chaos?

Qin Yaorao hadn’t anticipated meeting Fang Bai here either. With Fang Bai tightly holding her left hand, her heart was full of happiness as she said, "Fang Bai and I were immortal partners in the lower realm. Later, we were separated due to different ascension times to the Immortal Realm. Today, we finally reunite..."

"Well... congratulations, Junior Sister Qin..."

Xianyun Fairy could see the deep love between Junior Sister Qin and her immortal partner, and wished her well from the bottom of her heart. Still, considering Junior Sister Qin’s importance to the sect, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

Xianyun Fairy knew that even the Golden Rainbow Immortal Emperor, and other high-ranking sect members, hoped Qin Yaorao could marry a prodigy from the Starshine Sect to solidify the alliance between the two sects.

The Starshine Sect prodigy was indeed outstanding, achieving a third-tier Immortal King Cultivation Realm at a young age, regarded as the future sect master heir of Starshine Sect.

Xianyun Fairy knew the high-ranking members of the Golden Rainbow Sect were very optimistic about the union between Qin Yaorao and the Starshine Sect’s prodigy. If they found out Junior Sister Qin had an immortal partner, would they break them apart?

Of all the sect members, Xianyun Fairy interacted most with Qin Yaorao and knew her personality well. She understood Qin Yaorao was gentle but strong-willed, never yielding when facing things she didn’t want to do, and if oppressed, she would resist even more fiercely.

Xianyun Fairy found it hard to imagine the tragic scene that would ensue if the sect leaders tried to forcibly separate Junior Sister Qin and her immortal partner and bring Qin Yaorao back to the sect.

"Junior Sister Qin..."

Earlier worried that Junior Sister Qin might be taken away, Xianyun Fairy was now considering how to prevent a tragedy from befalling her. After thinking it through, she painfully spoke, "You... you should go... get as far away from the Golden Rainbow Sect as possible..."

Qin Yaorao paused, confusedly looking at Xianyun Fairy.

Xianyun Fairy smiled wryly and asked, "Junior Sister Qin, do you remember Xinghe Immortal King from the Starshine Sect?"

At the mention of "Xinghe Immortal King," Qin Yaorao’s expression became a bit ugly, frowning as she said, "Why is Senior Sister Xianyun suddenly bringing him up?"

Xianyun Fairy replied, "Our high-ranking sect members have always hoped you could become immortal partners with Xinghe Immortal King, you know? I think that if they know you have an immortal partner, they surely won’t be pleased. Perhaps for the sake of the sect’s interests, they might forcibly separate you. So... that’s why I’m urging you to leave!"

After a pause, Xianyun Fairy added, "When I return to the sect, if the Master asks about you, I’ll say we got separated during a training mission, and you’re missing... The sect places great importance on you and will certainly send disciples to find your whereabouts, so you must go as far away as possible, never be found..."

In Xianyun Fairy’s view, whereas the Golden Rainbow Sect might not be a Super Sect with an Immortal Emperor, it is still a first-class sect with several Immortal Emperor Realm experts. If Junior Sister Qin and her immortal partner are discovered and brought back by the sect’s experts, Junior Sister Qin might be safe, but her immortal partner would face severe punishment, possibly losing his Cultivation Level, living a fate worse than death.

Xianyun Fairy did not wish to see Junior Sister Qin heartbroken because of her immortal partner issue.

The best solution was for Junior Sister Qin to leave the Golden Rainbow Sect and never be found by the sect’s disciples again.

Qin Yaorao had stayed in the Golden Rainbow Sect for a long time and understood the sect leaders always prioritized the sect’s interests, tending to be a bit cold-hearted. If they learned of Fang Bai’s existence, they might truly act to separate the pair.

However, Qin Yaorao was loyal and honorable, always repaying the kindness shown to her. No matter what, she couldn’t forget the Golden Rainbow Sect Master Golden Rainbow Immortal Emperor’s care and cultivation favor. Leaving without notice would bring inner torment.

"Fang Bai..."

Thinking of Fang Bai beside her, Qin Yaorao turned and explained the circumstances before and after joining the Golden Rainbow Sect, believing Fang Bai would definitely have a way to resolve it.

Upon hearing this, Fang Bai said to Xianyun Fairy, "I will give you something shortly. After returning to the Golden Rainbow Sect, present it to the Golden Rainbow Immortal Emperor, repaying his years of care and cultivation for Yaorao."

Xianyun Fairy was curious and didn’t know what Fang Bai planned to give her.

"This isn’t a place for talking. Let’s find a more secluded spot, and I’ll explain it to you in detail," Fang Bai said, leading Qin Yaorao onto a cloud of Auspicious Clouds, flying away from Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain.

Concerned that her fellow sect members might have difficulty finding her upon her departure, Xianyun Fairy left behind a unique sect mark on-site, making it easier for them to search for her upon return.

Unbeknownst to Xianyun Fairy, her five fellow disciples had all perished beneath the ocean of Endless Ocean.
