Jiang Yumo, upon arriving, naturally saw the lively scene outside the blessed grotto.
But she did not interfere.
She simply thought Ye Yu was truly charismatic, having won the affection of so many fairies.
And Qin Xihe, as the sect leader, seemed determined to monopolize him—such behavior was... quite thrilling!
Indeed, once a rigid person opens up, they know how to have fun best!
Seeking a satisfactory answer, Jiang Yumo quietly entered the blessed grotto, only to be disappointed—Ye Yu seemed not to be there.
Still, she was willing to wait.
This big scandal at Yixing Pavilion was one she had to consume, or else her mind wouldn’t be at ease tonight.
So Jiang Yumo chose a comfortable spot to quietly lie down and wait.
Before Ye Yu arrived, she sensed Qin Xihe’s presence.
Jiang Yumo immediately released divine sense to observe outside.
After witnessing what had happened, a smile could not be hidden from her face.
In the dead of night, her junior sister had driven away numerous fairies—including her own disciple—to secretly meet her lover.
“Junior Sister, you have truly changed!”
Filled with mischief, Jiang Yumo deliberately hid behind the screen to see what Qin Xihe would say.
She never expected—
Junior Sister accused her of being nosy?
“Alright, alright, if you say so, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Jiang Yumo shifted her thoughts and imitated Ye Yu’s voice:
“Immortal Lord, aren’t you making too much fuss?”
“My senior sister came—why must I leave?”
“I... can’t bear to part with you!”
Qin Xihe trembled all over, stunned and at a loss.
“How... how can you say that?”
Sensing Qin Xihe’s voice quaver, Jiang Yumo pressed on solemnly:
“Why can’t I say it? Have you forgotten the time we spent together?”
This was a deliberate test.
Jiang Yumo wanted to bet that Ye Yu and Qin Xihe had been alone together.
Otherwise, Qin Xihe wouldn’t fear her coming so much.
Sure enough, Qin Xihe’s face flushed deeply.
She whispered, “Don’t say that—it was just an illusion. You created that scene specially to help detoxify me from Luanchunxiang’s poison. Apart from that, we have pure hearts!”
Jiang Yumo gasped sharply.
She had heard of Luanchunxiang’s notorious poison—it was extremely fierce.
Never expected her junior sister to have been poisoned—and that Ye Yu had used illusion to cure her?
That seemed unlikely.
Though Qin Xihe was old-fashioned and rigid, her beauty was undisputed in the Heavenly Realm.
What man wouldn’t be moved?
Would anyone refuse food handed directly to them?
Jiang Yumo didn’t believe there were such men in the Heavenly Realm.
Perhaps Qin Xihe only thought it was illusion—but actually, it was not!
Thinking this, Jiang Yumo softly said:
“Immortal Lord, do you still believe it’s just an illusion? Everything was so real—how could it be a hallucination?”
Hearing this, Qin Xihe froze.
Not an illusion?
No wonder her memories were so clear after waking.
What was she to do now?
Before, she thought she couldn’t face Ye Yu because the illusion was too vivid.
She tried comforting herself, saying it was only an illusion, not real—why be so troubled?
But now hearing this—
Could it be that Ye Yu had been lying all along and only now telling the truth?
Qin Xihe’s feelings became very complicated.
She asked tremblingly, “Then why did you lie to ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) me before?”
Jiang Yumo was silent a moment, then softly replied:
“I was afraid you couldn’t accept it. But now I think it’s time to face it. Immortal Lord, ask yourself honestly—do you really not like me?”
Qin Xihe lowered her head slightly and whispered:
“I... I don’t know. But if we were together, what about Zhu’er? And what about the many fairies in Yixing Pavilion? They all like you.”
Behind the screen, Jiang Yumo exclaimed excitedly:
“Wonderful, so wonderful—master and disciple competing! Definitely worth watching!”
Just as Jiang Yumo considered how to respond, footsteps sounded outside.
Qin Xihe turned and saw Ye Yu returning.
“Immortal Lord, what are you doing here? Also, I heard voices—who were you talking to?”
Those words felt like falling into an ice pit for Qin Xihe.
So the person behind the screen wasn’t Ye Yu—then who was it?
Qin Xihe suddenly stepped forward and smashed the screen.
Jiang Yumo’s graceful figure appeared.
“Junior Sister, the news you told me today was really explosive!”
As she said this, Jiang Yumo still used Ye Yu’s voice.
After speaking, she vanished in a flash of light, leaving the blessed grotto!
At that moment, Qin Xihe felt as if the sky was falling.
The thing she most didn’t want her senior sister to know had just come straight from her mouth.
It was over—all was lost.
Qin Xihe collapsed weakly to the ground, holding her face in her hands.
Seeing this, Ye Yu immediately stepped forward and asked what had happened.
Qin Xihe panicked and told him everything, then asked what to do.
If Jiang Yumo really spread this news, Qin Xihe would be utterly disgraced in Yixing Pavilion.
Ye Yu frowned slightly and said the matter might not be as bad as she feared.
“I’ll handle talking to Jiang Yumo, and try to get her to keep everything quiet.”
Hearing this, Qin Xihe grabbed Ye Yu’s sleeve as if clutching a last lifeline.
“You must persuade Senior Sister well—absolutely no one can know about us.”
Ye Yu’s expression turned oddly serious.
“Immortal Lord, what you’re saying sounds suspicious. People might think we really have something going on!”
Of course, seeing Qin Xihe so nervous, Ye Yu kept this to himself.
He turned and left the blessed grotto—only to unexpectedly find Jiang Yumo waiting outside.
Ye Yu thought for a moment, then walked right up to her.
Meanwhile, sisters An Jinqiu and An Jieyue had already arrived in the eastern Heavenly Realm, heading toward Yixing Pavilion.
