Butterflies fluttered, beating their wings as they danced high and low through the air. Their exquisite, graceful tails scattered specks of emerald light through the sky. At last, one lightly settled upon Immortal Zi Wei's fair, slender fingertip.
Immortal Zi Wei gazed at the jade-green butterfly before her with deep eyes, smiled, and softly asked, "This is Immortal Wanderer?"
"Precisely." The elderly female Gu Immortal at her side answered without expression.
This old woman had a hunched back and bent deeply at the waist. Her hair was withered and yellow like straw, her full face covered in wrinkles, her aged eyes dim and clouded.
She wore an earthy yellow robe, while a ring of fine yellow sand swirled and danced around her waist.
Immortal Zi Wei turned around and sincerely thanked her. "For this mere Rank 6 Immortal Gu to trouble a Refinement Dao Grandmaster like Grandma Sha into personally making a move—it is truly its honor."
It turned out that this elderly female Gu Immortal was also a member of Heavenly Court and had only recently awakened.
Her cultivation was likewise as high as Rank 8, and she was several thousand years old. Her exact age could no longer be verified. Heavenly Court had no shortage of such old antiques, but a Refinement Dao Grandmaster was an exceptionally rare figure.
Immortal Zi Wei knew even more.
She was a Wisdom Dao Gu Immortal, capable of deducing deeper secrets from the slightest clues.
She knew that Grandma Sha's lifespan had long since run out, and that she had to remain asleep within Heavenly Court at all times to delay death's arrival. However, she and the Sky Watching Tower Master had belonged to the same era, and feelings had blossomed between them in their youth.
