The integrated body female cultivator called Qingyun said coldly:
"Let's hope so."
The male cultivator lowered his voice and said:
"Qingyun, Lingyu and I will go back and wait for you. No matter what, this matter needs to be settled. Hiding out won't solve anything."
A flash of anger crossed Qingyun's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She merely nodded, then turned to Yunxi and said respectfully:
"Fairy, I delayed your time because of my own affairs, so I won't charge you for today's guiding fee."
Yunxi neither nodded nor shook her head. She merely swept an indifferent glance over the man and woman. The two were still eyeing Qingyun like tigers watching their prey. She greatly disliked the calculation lurking in the male cultivator's eyes—it was just like Sheng Yuhong back then—so with a sweep of her sleeve, she sent the pair out of Mengxia Immortal City.
Qingyun immediately bowed and said:
"Please quell your anger, Fairy."
With the eyesores gone, Yunxi's expression eased considerably. She said calmly:
"Lead the way! While you're at it, tell me about the grievances between you and that man and woman."
Qingyun had not expected Yunxi to say that. She stood dazed for a moment before stepping forward to lead the way, lowering her eyes as she considered how to explain.
Yunxi merely wanted some gossip; she was not determined to pry into someone else's private affairs. Still, she casually said:
"That male cultivator has hidden the calculations in his heart very deeply. If you do not wish to suffer a loss, then no matter what terms he raises, you should think thrice before deciding."
After hearing Yunxi's words, Qingyun bit her lip. In the end, she said:
"Fairy, that male cultivator is the Dao Companion arranged for me by my family.
