An Jinqiu and An Jieyue both gasped sharply.
Damn, can things really go this far?
Isn’t this a bit over the line?
We’re all immortals in the Heavens—how can you say such outrageous things? It’s simply dishonorable!
An Jieyue, embodying the spirit of a true woman who never backs down, said sternly again, “What’s the use of having numbers? Cultivation in the Heavenly Realm depends on strength and background! My sister is a powerful Immortal King Realm expert, not only ensuring safety but providing resources. If Ye Yu agrees to my sister, we’ll immediately hand over the immortal city to him!”
“Don’t underestimate our An family’s influence in the southern Heavenly Realm!”
An Jieyue was not bluffing.
Though Yourong City had been destroyed, as long as An Jinqiu remained, with one call she could easily raise another Yourong City again.
Their Immortal King Realm cultivation was their greatest confidence!
And it was a height that most immortals could never reach.
Lü Wanzhu and the others frowned immediately.
Immortal King Realm power was indeed a massive mountain—intimidating to all!
And the words “hand over an immortal city” were downright outrageous!
For a moment, Yixing Pavilion’s momentum was suppressed.
At this critical moment, Qin Xihe and Jiang Yumo suddenly appeared.
As sect leader of Yixing Pavilion, Qin Xihe sneered, “Handing over an immortal city, big deal? If Ye Yu stays and becomes my immortal partner, I’ll give him the entire sect!”
This statement shocked everyone!
All Yixing Pavilion fairies looked at Qin Xihe in disbelief.
What? Immortal Lord herself finally made a move—but didn’t expect she’d also try to snatch the Sixth Elder!
Though unwilling, at least the resources wouldn’t flow to outsiders—it was somewhat acceptable.
Lü Wanzhu’s eyes reddened, “Master, I never expected you to have such ulterior motives.”
“No wonder you kept telling me to stay away from Sixth Elder—so you wanted him all for yourself?”
“This behavior is utterly shameless!”
Lü Wanzhu felt she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, so she immediately spoke in agreement:
“Not only will we hand over the sect, but add to it—master will give the disciple! I’m that disciple!”
Qin Xihe was dumbfounded.
“Disciple? You’re a bit too eager, aren’t you?”
Before she could reprimand, Lü Wanzhu’s mental voice came through:
“Master, don’t rush. I’m only doing this to keep the Sixth Elder here. ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) With a great enemy at hand, we can’t have internal strife!”
Qin Xihe reluctantly fell silent.
An Jieyue grew anxious and blurted out, “If you can add one plus one, so can we—sister gives to sister!”
An Jinqiu was shocked and turned to her sister.
“Yue’er, you...”
At this moment, Jiang Yumo, who had been silent, laughed:
“In that case, let me join—one plus one plus one! Master, disciple plus senior uncle! Coincidentally, I’m also Immortal King Realm. Whatever you can offer, I can offer too!”
With her joining, the balance of this showdown tilted.
At that moment, Ye Yu finally spoke.
“What are you all doing? An auction? Highest bidder wins?”
An Jinqiu, Qin Xihe, and the others repeatedly denied this and tried to explain, but Ye Yu raised a hand to stop them.
Then he continued softly:
“Immortal Lord, fairies, don’t cause trouble here. Everyone go back. These two are my immortal friends. I’ll take them outside to talk.”
Hearing this, An Jinqiu and An Jieyue both looked pleased.
On the other hand, Yixing Pavilion’s side frowned deeply.
Qin Xihe began, “Sixth Elder, you...”
But stopped midway.
She didn’t feel she had enough reason to keep Ye Yu, so didn’t know what to say.
Ye Yu lightly turned and said, “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xihe immediately relaxed and stepped back obediently.
She watched as Ye Yu and the two sisters disappeared from sight.
Lü Wanzhu was uneasy.
Even though she knew Ye Yu would return soon, she still felt uneasy and quickly said:
“Master, should I follow them and gather information?”
Snap!
A sharp sound rang out. Lü Wanzhu held her head, wincing in pain.
Qin Xihe held a thumb-thick vine rod in her hand.
Clearly, that sound had come from the rod.
“Bamboo, quite the ‘one plus one,’ huh? You’re really creative.”
In pain, Lü Wanzhu shook her head repeatedly:
“No more additions, no more additions.”
Seeing this, Jiang Yumo couldn’t help but laugh.
Hearing the laughter, Qin Xihe suddenly spun around, vine rod pointed at Jiang Yumo.
“Senior sister, Bamboo is ignorant, and so are you? What’s this one plus one plus one nonsense? Are you trying to make our sect a laughingstock?”
Jiang Yumo smiled unchanged, pressing the vine rod down with her finger.
Mentally she whispered:
“My good junior sister, you’ve really grown a lot. Just now, when Bamboo and I were adding bets to keep Sixth Elder here, you didn’t say a word. Now that he says he’ll be back soon, you’re ready to discard him like a grindstone—afraid Bamboo and I will snatch him from you, huh?”
Qin Xihe’s expression grew serious.
Indeed, just as Jiang Yumo said, that was exactly what she was thinking.
Bamboo was just an excuse; Qin Xihe never feared Bamboo stealing him, because she knew Ye Yu didn’t like Bamboo.
But senior sister Jiang Yumo was different.
No matter intelligence, talent, or cultivation, senior sister always held a firm upper hand.
So facing senior sister, Qin Xihe really felt pressured and devised this plan to assert ownership.
Unexpectedly, senior sister saw through it!
Just as Qin Xihe pondered what to do,
Jiang Yumo suddenly stepped close and whispered in a very low voice:
“Junior sister, how about we fight for him and see who laughs last?”
Hearing this, Qin Xihe shuddered all over and turned pale.
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Ye Yu led An Jinqiu and An Jieyue to an immortal mountain and began preparing what to say next.
In fact, when those two sisters had confronted the Yixing Pavilion fairies earlier, Ye Yu had stayed silent not to watch the show but to gauge value.
He was exhausted just now.
More than three hundred fairies, over nine hundred wishes.
It was truly dizzying to behold.
All the effort and time was because Ye Yu wanted to find the best solution to fulfill the majority of wishes, gain multiple rewards, and maximize benefits.
