Before Liu Yunqing could get the information she wanted from the jade slip given to her by Qiu Zhengping, she was greeted by Liu Yunzhao's visit.
"I'm not here to fight you. Can we sit down and have a proper talk?"
Despite saying that, Liu Yunzhao still followed his heart and chose a public meeting place to talk with Liu Yunqing.
Feng Piaopiao had already told Liu Yunqing about the auction, so Liu Yunqing assumed that Liu Yunzhao had come to find seeds.
After casually sitting down, Liu Yunqing didn't have a friendly attitude and went straight to the point:
"What's there for Fairy Yun Zhao to talk about with me? How about we continue to spread rumors and slander me?"
Liu Yunzhao did not dwell on Liu Yunqing's attitude, and his attitude was exceptionally sincere:
"I didn't come here to talk about the auction... although I know the seeds are definitely with you."
Liu Yunqing raised her eyebrows, but Liu Yunzhao did not intend to let her speak and continued:
"We don't have any deep-seated hatred between us, so why are you targeting me at every turn? We don't need to be inseparable friends, but at least we can get along peacefully, right?"
"The path to immortality is long and arduous. If we want to go higher and further, we actually need more friends, not enemies."
"..."
Liu Yunqing sat opposite Liu Yunzhao, listening quietly to her eloquent speech.
His attitude gradually changed from his usual impatience to deep thought.
Don't misunderstand, she wasn't considering the feasibility of Liu Yunzhao's words, but rather the changes in both Liu Yunzhao and herself.
At first, Liu Yunqing would jump up in hatred whenever he saw Liu Yunzhao. If he had the strength to do so, he would have torn her to pieces on the spot.
Later, he was able to hold his own against Liu Yunzhao, and if no external force was involved, Liu Yunqing could have killed Liu Yunzhao even at the cost of his life.
But she started over not to perish together with Liu Yunzhao; she also wanted to explore the long path to immortality.
So even though she was seething with hatred, Liu Yunqing's rationality prevailed.
Fortunately, things haven't remained unchanged.
At least in this life, Liu Yunzhao no longer has the Ice Spirit Root, nor does she command the respect of everyone like she did in her previous life, becoming everyone's senior sister.
Liu Yunqing looked at Liu Yunzhao across from her, who was still trying to soften his expression and make amends with him.
Even the aloof and untainted demeanor of her past life seems to have vanished now.
"This is already my greatest sincerity, so... Fellow Daoist Zhenru, what do you think?"
Liu Yunqing's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes, which always carried a coldness, also curved downwards slightly.
This should be the first genuine smile that Liu Yunqing showed when facing Liu Yunzhao.
Seeing that Liu Yunqing was genuinely smiling, Liu Yunzhao assumed that he had won her over, and his own expression relaxed as he regained his proud demeanor.
But the next moment, Liu Yunqing said something completely unrelated.
"I heard that your half-sister used to admire you a lot."
Liu Yunzhao was taken aback, a look of confusion flashing across his face, before shaking his head and replying, somewhat puzzled:
“I’m not very familiar with her, but my younger siblings have always admired me, so it’s not surprising.”
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, why did you bring up my half-sister out of the blue?"
Liu Yunqing's expression was indifferent, and his tone was flat as he said:
"Since we both have fire elemental roots, it's natural that we should pay attention to this. Speaking of which, there shouldn't be any deep-seated hatred between Fairy Yun Zhao and your half-sister, right?"
Liu Yunzhao looked somewhat awkward and looked away, saying:
"There is no deep-seated hatred, it's just that she is young and lacks a sense of the big picture. She is unwilling to contribute to the family. She is clearly just an ordinary person, but she always dreams of cultivating immortality."
At this point, Liu Yunzhao seemed quite emotional, and looked at Liu Yunqing with a wry smile, saying:
"If her admiration for me is because she admires immortality, then she might as well not admire me at all, just be an ordinary mortal and live a happy life."
"It's better than listening to the instigation of bad people and going down the wrong path of no return."
Liu Yunqing almost laughed out loud.
She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking Liu Yunzhao a question:
"You keep calling her evil and heretical, is it possible that she has spiritual roots?"
"Besides, I heard the rumors back then, so even if you cultivate without spiritual roots, which sounds more heretical and evil, cultivating with people's blood?"
Liu Yunzhao's expression changed, and his gaze toward Liu Yunqing became sharp.
"Is it true that you, fellow Daoist, are so devoted to speaking up for my half-sister and are quite familiar with her?"
Liu Yunqing's eyes were playful, and the smile on her face made it impossible to tell whether she was being sincere or not.
"What? I only said a few words for that poor girl, and Fairy Yun Zhao is spreading rumors again? Am I Liu Yunqing?"
Liu Yunzhao frowned and took a step back. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he took a deep breath and calmed himself, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, I really didn't mean that."
"My purpose in coming here today is twofold. First, I hope we can coexist peacefully and embark on the path to immortality together. Second, I hope you can give me that seed... I can give you spirit stones."
Liu Yunqing smiled at Liu Yunzhao and spread his hands, saying:
"What seed? I don't know anything about it. Or, Fairy Yun Zhao, what evidence do you have to prove that I have that seed?"
After saying this, Liu Yunqing's smile vanished instantly, and she raised her hand to Liu Yunzhao, saying:
"I have other things to do, so I won't chat with Fairy Yun Zhao any longer."
Liu Yunqing's actions to shoo people away were obvious, but Liu Yunzhao stood there without leaving, and his face was very unpleasant.
Liu Yunqing frowned, secretly on guard, but smiled on the surface:
"Could it be that Fairy Yun Zhao is planning to make a move at the Tai Xuan Sect?"
Liu Yunqing didn't believe Liu Yunzhao would do something so stupid.
Liu Yunzhao's fellow disciples also didn't believe it.
So when Liu Yunzhao made the first move and launched an attack on Liu Yunqing, everyone around was shocked.
Who is that?
Fairy Yun Zhao!
It's impossible to imagine what could possibly motivate Fairy Yun Zhao to take action.
Only Liu Yunqing knew that Liu Yunzhao hadn't acted because of anything specific.
At first, Liu Yunqing also thought that it was because he did not provide the seeds that he angered the other party.
But once they started fighting, Liu Yunqing realized something was wrong.
Liu Yunzhao is acting strangely. His fighting style is wrong, his fighting method is wrong, and he's fighting too ferociously, completely lacking the restraint of the original fairy.
If Liu Yunqing hadn't been so quick to fight and therefore highly vigilant, he probably would have been subdued by his opponent in the very first move.
"Are you all dead? Aren't you going to help?!"
When Master Jianxing received the news, he rushed over and saw this scene. He raised his long eyebrows, glared at the people around him, and then flew up to try to pull the two apart.
Seeing this, Liu Yunqing continued to strike Liu Yunzhao's sore spots while shouting to Master Jianxing:
"Jianxing, be careful! Liu Yunzhao seems to have gone mad from his cultivation!"
Did Fairy Yun Zhao suffer a qi deviation?
The onlookers' eyes lit up, as if they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip!
Master Jianxing was startled. While trying to stop Liu Yunzhao, he observed her condition and found that something was indeed wrong, but... she didn't seem to have gone mad.
So, what exactly happened?
