The Azure Feather Sect was quite far from the True Transformation Sect, so You You and the others set off a day early and arrived at the Azure Feather Sect on the day of the grand ceremony. They arrived not late, but the Azure Feather Sect was already very lively, with disciples from various sects everywhere at the mountain gate, making it even more bustling than the last Immortal Sect Grand Competition.
Compared to their low-key reception last time, You You and the others received the warmest welcome from the Qingyu Sect this time, with the Heavenly Maiden personally coming to greet them.
The Azure Feather Celestial Maiden wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she was still quite pretty, appearing to be in her early twenties—very young. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the spiritual energy around her wasn't very dense, and even showed signs of dissipating. Although she smiled happily, the light in her eyes wasn't very bright; just as Ling Qi and the others had said, her lifespan was nearing its end.
Standing beside her was a man also dressed in wedding attire. Compared to Qingyu Tiannv, he was clearly more delighted, though he greeted the guests with a gentle smile. His gaze, however, never left Qingyu Tiannv, filled with deep affection and contentment, as if he had already obtained the best thing in the world and desired nothing more. This must be the Daoist partner chosen by Qingyu Tiannv.
There was an aura between the two that outsiders couldn't penetrate; it looked warm and harmonious, and every time they glanced at each other, a sense of warmth seemed to spread between them.
Youyou's gift was a bottle of top-grade longevity pills, specially crafted by Kui Bi with Yuan's father's supervision. Even if one's lifespan is nearing its end, each pill can extend one's life by at least two years; there are ten pills in total, which is twenty years. Although twenty years is nothing to a cultivator, it is probably what Qingyu Tiannu urgently needs right now.
As expected, the Azure Feather Celestial Maiden looked delighted, and the man beside her bowed respectfully to them before personally escorting them to the guest courtyard where they would rest.
The grand ceremony wouldn't begin for some time. You You had originally planned to use this time to look around and observe what other sects were like. However, perhaps because the True Evolution Sect was already a first-rate immortal sect, and the celestial maidens from various sects rarely came out, everyone, whether they knew her or not, flocked to her side.
She hadn't been seated for ten minutes when four or five celestial maidens came to visit. At first, she was in the mood for polite exchanges, but gradually she began to feel overwhelmed. These kinds of social situations were always Ling Qi's forte, and she really wasn't used to them. In the end, she had no choice but to use the excuse of entering meditation to rest, thus ending this endless stream of visitors.
Such reasons may deter the goddesses from various factions, but they cannot deter a certain face-obsessed person.
"Youyou... It's been so long, I've missed you so much!" Without waiting for an announcement, someone rushed in, hugged her tightly, and rubbed his face against hers. "I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but Long Xifei told me to finish dealing with things in the sect first, but I never seem to finish. I feel so envious, empty, and cold when I can't see your face. I don't even enjoy my food anymore."
"Wu Yue..." You tried to pull him off several times, but couldn't. "Let me go first!"
Finally, Feng Rong, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She frowned, picked up Wu Yue, and threw her to Long Xi behind her, saying with an unfriendly expression, "Speak properly! Why are you hitting me? Does he think I don't exist?"
"Sect Master You, Venerable Phoenix!" Long Xi caught his celestial maiden and greeted the two.
“Sister You…” Wu Yue continued to try to get closer, but after glancing at the furious Feng Rong, she regretfully sat down on the chair next to her and continued, “I arrived a little earlier than Sister You. If I had known you were coming too, I would have gone to Zhenyan Sect to meet you first and then come along the way.”
"..." The True Evolution Sect and the Profound Light Sect are in two different directions, so which one is on the way?
"Have you met the Azure Feather Celestial Maiden?" Youyou changed the subject, handing her a cup of tea.
"Yes, I've seen her!" Wu Yue finally stopped her obsessive fangirling, took the teacup, and nodded. "I've already sent her the gift, but... she doesn't seem to be in very good condition right now, so I prepared a 'Green Frost Lingzhi' in the hopes that it will help. By the way, Sister You, what did you send?"
You You was taken aback, and suddenly had the illusion that friends were discussing money for each other's wedding gifts, but still replied, "Longevity Pill".
“Oh! She definitely needs this.” Wu Yue nodded in agreement and continued, “I heard that the Azure Feather Celestial Maiden wanted to find a Daoist partner many years ago, and now her wish has come true!”
"Many years ago?" Youyou was taken aback.
Wu Yue leaned closer and said mysteriously, "I heard it too. The Azure Feather Celestial Maiden came from the mortal realm and only discovered her celestial maiden abilities after she turned fifteen. I heard that she was already engaged and had already chosen her husband at that time. After the Azure Feather Sect was established, her first follower was that husband, who is also her chosen Daoist partner now."
"Oh..." You nodded, "So the two of them have had quite a few ups and downs!"
"Isn't that right? Qingyu Tiannv had five followers in total, but after all the twists and turns, she still chose the one from the very beginning." Wuyue muttered, pouting in disbelief, "If they become Daoist partners at this time, their remaining days probably won't be long."
Youyou sighed as she recalled the lifespan of the Azure Feather Celestial Maiden, saying, "Hmm, these two are quite pitiful too."
“They’re the ones who are pitiful!” Wu Yue suddenly retorted. “The other four followers are the ones who are pitiful!”
"Huh?" You You was taken aback, not understanding for a moment. "What do you mean?"
“Isn’t that right?” Wu Yue said matter-of-factly. “A Daoist partner is someone you’re destined to be with through thick and thin. If the Heavenly Maiden chooses a Daoist partner, wouldn’t the other followers be in an awkward position?”
"Awkward?" Why? You You was still a little confused. Weren't followers business partners? It's a good thing that a business partner is getting married, so what's awkward about it? Is it because they're afraid of giving too much money as a wedding gift?
Just as they were about to ask for more details, a disciple from the Qingyu Sect came in to inform them to go to the front hall to watch the ceremony, which was about to begin.
"Come on, let's go together!" Wu Yue pulled You You up, hugged her arm, and walked out, saying as they went, "Sister You, how about we go back together after the ceremony? I'll ride a spirit boat with you!"
"Oh no!" *2
Before Youyou could answer, Fengrong and Longxi spoke in unison, each stepping forward to separate the two.
Long Xi's expression changed, and he solemnly reminded, "Sect Master, there are still many important matters in the sect. We should return to the sect first." If we really boarded the spirit boat, we would have to go back to the True Evolution Sect with them!
Feng Rong firmly replied, "Our spirit boat is small and full; there's no room for more passengers!" Hmph, you little bitch, don't think I don't know what you're up to!
Youyou: "..."
