Chapter 2420: Chapter 2420: It’s All Your Fault

"I didn’t provoke her..."

Fang Bai spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "Your Senior Sister delivered alchemy ingredients to me yesterday and then voluntarily stayed to help. While I was working on alchemy, she gazed at me affectionately and kept giving flirtatious glances..."

"Then that means she likes you!"

Linghu Qianjiao sighed, lifted her eyes to gaze at Fang Bai’s distinct and handsome face, gently touched it, and said softly, "In the Immortal Realm, there aren’t many male immortals as young and dashing as you with such unlimited potential. I wonder how many female immortals would be moved upon seeing you..."

After pausing, she continued, "Senior Sister Hailan doesn’t have a celestial partner yet; maybe you should consider taking her in?"

Fang Bai tapped her delicate nose with a smile, saying, "Why does your tone sound a bit jealous to me?"

Linghu Qianjiao retorted, "No way..."

Fang Bai laughed heartily, then said seriously, "I truly don’t have any intentions towards your Senior Sister Hailan! However, I suspect that your master and some of the high-ranking members of the sect might want to match me with your Senior Sister Hailan to keep me in the Moon Sea Sect."

Linghu Qianjiao, being astute and smart, quickly figured out why her master and other high-ranking members would do this.

Fang Bai is a young prodigy with unlimited potential and an alchemist whose future achievements are immeasurable. Keeping him in the Moon Sea Sect would greatly benefit the sect’s future.

Her master and others probably feared that her previous cold attitude towards Fang Bai might cause him to leave if disappointed, which is not what they would want to see. Therefore, they might have deliberately pushed Senior Sister Hailan in front of Fang Bai, hoping to make a good match and win Fang Bai’s heart.

Recalling Senior Sister Hailan’s distressed look after seeing her close with Fang Bai, Linghu Qianjiao thought that she must have developed feelings for Fang Bai.

"And there’s Crane Feather Fairy from your sect... She’s bold! And spicy!"

Fang Bai recalled the interesting female immortal from Moon Sea Sect last night and couldn’t help but laugh.

Linghu Qianjiao blinked curiously, asking, "How did you meet Senior Sister Crane Feather?"

Fang Bai recounted the encounter with Crane Feather Fairy from the previous night, making Linghu Qianjiao laugh charmingly.

"Senior Sister Crane Feather has always been like this, straightforward and bold, loving and hating without hesitation... The fact that she could say those things to you shows that she really likes you! Haha..."

Thinking of Crane Feather’s claim, "I’ll eventually get you," and seeing Fang Bai’s helpless expression, Linghu Qianjiao couldn’t help but laugh again.

Fang Bai said, "Qianjiao, if I meet your Senior Sister Crane Feather again, how should I refuse her? Would being too direct hurt her feelings?"

Linghu Qianjiao replied, "You don’t have to refuse her. Once she sees us together, so close... so intimate, she’ll understand everything, and then she won’t pester you anymore."

Fang Bai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That’s good."

"But as for Senior Sister Hailan, with her reserved personality, I suppose she’ll be heartbroken for a while."

Linghu Qianjiao thought of Hailan Fairy’s dazed and hurried departure, sighed gently, and playfully rolled her eyes at him, saying, "It’s all your fault..."

"My fault?"

Fang Bai pointed at his nose, his face full of "I’m so innocent."

"Because you..."

Linghu Qianjiao looked up at Fang Bai, eyes filled with affection, and softly said, "...are such an outstanding man!"

To a man, this is probably the most enchanting love statement in the world.

Fang Bai pulled Linghu Qianjiao into his arms with a smile, saying, "After years apart, your sweet talk has improved. Have you been learning from Baimei?"

"Baimei..."

Hearing Fang Bai mention her sister, Linghu Qianjiao’s smile faded, replaced by a gentle sadness, murmuring, "After arriving in the Immortal Realm, Baimei and I have been separated, unaware of each other’s whereabouts... I don’t know where Baimei is now, and whether she’s doing well..."

Fang Bai knew their sisterly bond was deep and comforted her, "Don’t worry, Baimei is clever and full of ideas, much more so than you. She’ll be all right! Once things here settle, we’ll go and look for her together."

Linghu Qianjiao nodded and responded softly, "Yes."

"Let’s go and meet your master!"

Fang Bai took Linghu Qianjiao’s hand and gracefully headed toward the Sect Master Hall.

As they arrived in front of the Sect Master Hall, they saw several female immortals standing solemnly, including Hailan Fairy and Crane Feather Fairy.

The female immortals were astonished, showing disbelief as they witnessed the Wushuang Immortal King and Linghu Qianjiao hand in hand.

"Hello, Senior Sisters!"

Linghu Qianjiao had a faint smile as she greeted the female immortals respectfully yet confidently.

Linghu Qianjiao joined the Moon Sea Sect quite late, and these female immortals, like her, are direct disciples of Moon Sea Fairy, making them her senior sisters.

"Junior Sister Linghu has arrived!"

"Greetings, Wushuang Immortal King!"

The female immortals regained composure from their shock, nodded towards Linghu Qianjiao, and then greeted Fang Bai.

Linghu Qianjiao may be a junior sister among them, but the Wushuang Immortal King is an Elder of Tribute within the sect, considered part of the high-ranking members, so they dared not neglect him.

Hailan Fairy, seeing Fang Bai and Linghu Qianjiao hand in hand, bit her lip gently, heartbroken, pondering, "How could this happen... how could this happen..."

She was still confused about how the Wushuang Immortal King and Junior Sister Linghu, originally two strangers, with Linghu steadfastly waiting for the celestial partner she had spoken of, suddenly became so close overnight.

Crane Feather Fairy also noticed their hand-holding, eyes wide with a gasp of disbelief, then muttered to herself, seemingly annoyed by last night’s sisters deceiving her, followed by evident disappointment.

Remembering her bold statement to the Wushuang Immortal King, "I’ll eventually get you," but now witnessing Junior Sister Linghu hand in hand with the Wushuang Immortal King, Crane Feather Fairy’s heart was filled with curiosity and a touch of bitterness, prompting her to ask, "Junior Sister Linghu, you and the Wushuang Immortal King..."

"Senior Sister Crane Feather, he’s the celestial partner I mentioned! It’s just that he changed his appearance in the Immortal Realm due to some enemies... I didn’t recognize him before..."

Linghu Qianjiao smiled at Crane Feather Fairy, explaining.

"Ah! I see..."

Upon hearing Linghu Qianjiao’s explanation, Crane Feather Fairy instantly felt relieved.

"So this Wushuang Immortal King is the celestial partner that Junior Sister Linghu has always cared about. Since he’s her partner, how could I, as a senior sister, dare to compete with her?"

Crane Feather Fairy’s emotions quickly settled; knowing the relationship between Junior Sister Linghu and the Wushuang Immortal King, she abandoned any thoughts of pursuing Fang Bai.
