Inside Yourong City.
After careful analysis and discussion, An Jinqiu, Jiang Yumo, and Qin Xihe had come to a firm conclusion.
Their memories showed no sign of error.
But apart from them, it was as if no one else retained any impression of Ye Yu.
Including Lü Wanzhu, the 297 fairies of Yixing Pavilion, and even Ye Yu’s biological parents.
In their world, it was as if Ye Yu had never existed.
What exactly caused this was unclear to An Jinqiu, Jiang Yumo, and the others.
But through communication, they discovered a common trait among the three of them:
They all had died in the dream and awakened in reality,
and retained memories about Ye Yu.
Truly unforgettable!
After a brief exchange, An Jinqiu took the initiative.
“Fellow immortals, I have a proposal.
Before we find Ye Yu, let’s set aside other matters.
As for who becomes the immortal companion later, let that be decided by ability!”
Qin Xihe nodded in agreement.
Then, with a sidelong glance, she noticed Senior Sister Jiang Yumo nodding as well.
Wait, what does this mean? Why was a strange sense of crisis growing stronger?
Before Qin Xihe could ponder more, An Jinqiu continued.
“Alright then, let’s review the situation.
The reason you two came today is obviously because you clearly remember,
in the dream, Ye Yu came to Yourong City at this very time.
But now it’s already nightfall, and he still hasn’t arrived.
This means some part of the chain must have gone wrong.
What do you two think we should do next?”
An Jinqiu couldn’t help but clench her fists.
In her heart, she already guessed the worst, but lacked the courage to say it aloud.
Qin Xihe bit her lip and said in a low voice, “What else can we do? Keep searching!
One year, a hundred years, ten thousand years — I won’t stop.
If this is truly a rebirth, it’s unreasonable that only the three of us were reborn!
But...”
At this point, Qin Xihe paused.
She didn’t continue.
But others could guess the next sentence.
What if only the three of them were reborn, and Ye Yu was gone?
That would be unavoidable.
But they couldn’t give up hope just because of that possibility!
Jiang Yumo slowly stood and said, “Then it’s decided.
We’ll split up to search, focusing first on the Southern and Eastern Heavenly Realm.
If we still can’t find him, we’ll look elsewhere.
There will be results eventually.
If we succeed, whoever becomes immortal companion will depend on ability!”
An Jinqiu immediately agreed.
But Qin Xihe panicked slightly and sent a voice transmission to Senior Sister Jiang Yumo.
“Senior Sister, didn’t you support me before?
Now we’re reborn — you won’t refuse to help me, right?”
At this moment, Qin Xihe already sensed something unusual about Senior Sister.
So she proactively asked, wanting to test her stance.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yumo revealed a teasing smile, patted Qin Xihe’s shoulder with one hand,
and softly said aloud, not via voice transmission:
“Whether this is rebirth or reality, I’ve changed my mind.
I choose to support myself.
Junior sister, this time I’m not joking.
We compete fairly.
Whoever rises will depend on their own ability!”
Qin Xihe suddenly felt cold hands and feet.
She could sense Senior Sister was serious this time.
What about the allies they agreed on before?
Why did they suddenly become rivals?
Moreover, Qin Xihe truly worried Jiang Yumo wouldn’t follow the rules and would use illicit pills.
After all, Senior Sister had taught her that way originally.
But at that time, the pills were prepared, only Ye Yu was gone, so the plan had to be canceled.
If Ye Yu still existed now, and Senior Sister used pills, that would be too much.
Qin Xihe’s greatest fear was Jiang Yumo’s tendency to play by her own rules.
She wanted to speak up immediately to forbid irregular methods.
But Jiang Yumo didn’t even give her a chance to speak and vanished instantly.
An Jinqiu looked at Qin Xihe in confusion and asked a painful question:
“Aren’t you two doing the 1+1 thing?
Why suddenly compete fairly?
Did you quarrel?”
Qin Xihe felt like crying but couldn’t.
“Stop scolding me, please!”
Afterwards, Qin Xihe did not linger long in Yourong City and immediately began a frantic search for Ye Yu.
During this time, she reflected on whether the lineup was the problem for not finding Ye Yu.
After all, in the dream, it was her disciple Lü Wanzhu who met Ye Yu, not herself.
Did that mean Lü Wanzhu was the key to seeing Ye Yu?
Should she return to the sect and bring the disciple back?
Of course, this thought flashed briefly through Qin Xihe’s mind.
She did not believe such illusions.
Earlier that day, she had covered the entire Yourong City with divine sense.
Every immortal entering and leaving the city was under her watch.
There was absolutely no trace of Ye Yu.
This definitely had nothing to do with Lü Wanzhu!
With Senior Sister Jiang Yumo as her top enemy, she absolutely could not let her disciple be dragged into the chaos.
Lü Wanzhu had zero resistance to Ye Yu.
She was completely hooked just by a single sentence.
So it was best to never let Lü Wanzhu meet Ye Yu again!
Unbeknownst to her, it was Qin Xihe’s one momentary lapse that caused her to miss the first chance to meet Ye Yu.
At this moment,
the Ye Yu they all longed for was already standing at the gates of Yixing Pavilion.
According to the last feedback from Sanshi Hall immortals, after tracking Luo Ning’s whereabouts «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» to this area,
they had completely lost contact.
So Ye Yu suspected Luo Ning might have come to Yixing Pavilion and received help from them,
which allowed her to eliminate the Sanshi Hall pursuers.
After all, in this radius of ten thousand li, there was only this one immortal sect.
However, looking at the familiar sect entrance ahead,
Ye Yu felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
He knew from previous dream experience that dream memories were not only retained by the dream wives.
At special times, others could also have memories of the dream.
For example, Liang Yu was a good example.
Ye Yu guessed the main reason was that she liked him, so the memories were preserved.
So by this logic, among the nearly three hundred fairies of Yixing Pavilion,
how many really retained memories?
He did not dare to calculate.
If they all still remembered him,
that would be very dangerous.
Besides, Ye Yu had only wanted to simply fulfill wishes before, with no other intention.
Regardless of whether the fairies of Yixing Pavilion remembered him or not,
he had to come and inquire about Luo Ning’s whereabouts.
But unexpectedly, just as Ye Yu approached,
the sect’s grand formation suddenly activated automatically.
