The excitement of the banquet gradually dissipated, and inside the hall, the mellow aroma of fine wine and the sweetness of fairy fruits still lingered in the air.
Under Qin Feng's hard and soft tactics, all the female fairies had become one with each other. They each found sisters they were compatible with and returned to their residences in twos and threes.
Only Shi Ji was not in a hurry to leave.
Her eyes fell on Yun Xiao, who was about to take Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao to say goodbye.
Shi Ji picked up the unfinished cup of fairy wine in front of him, moved lightly, and came to Yun Xiao.
"Yun Xiao Junior Sister."
Her voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile, "Do you have time to accompany Senior Sister for a walk around Yaochi?"
Yun Xiao was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement.
She asked Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao to go back to Three Immortals Courtyard first, while she followed Shi Ji.
The two of them walked out of the brightly lit hall one after the other and stepped onto the path paved with starlight jade chips.
Goddess Immortal Alliance in the night has a different scenery.
The great sun Merit Golden Light converged the bright light of the day and turned into a soft golden full moon, hanging in the sky, spreading its brilliance to every corner.
Under the feet, the streams formed by Immortal Qi sparkled under the moonlight, flowing through exotic flowers and plants, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
Neither of them spoke first, they just walked quietly, enjoying this hard-won tranquility.
Shi Ji didn't stop until he reached the vast Goddess Jade Pond.
She looked at the golden reflection in the pool and sighed quietly.
"Junior sister Yun Xiao, I never thought that we would be able to be so calm and walk side by side one day."
There is endless emotion in these words.
They were all disciples of the Biyou Palace, and they listened to Tongtian Jiaozhu's seat. Although they did not have a deep friendship, they could be regarded as fellow disciples and sisters.
But Investiture of the Gods Calamity together, the friendship between the same family became thinner than paper.
Chan Sect and Interception Sect have long been sworn enemies.
If Qin Feng hadn't appeared, the next time they met might have been on a life-and-death battlefield.
Yun Xiao looked at Shi Ji's beautiful side face shrouded in moonlight, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was softer than Yaochi's water. "Yes, Senior Sister Shi Ji. What I never expected is that our sisters would completely change our destiny because of the same person."
Having said this, Yun Xiao's eyes turned slightly red.
She recalled her brother Zhao Gongming's determination when he came down the mountain in response to the calamity, and recalled the despair and grief that she, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao felt when the news of his brother's death came back from the front line.
"Senior sister may not know that not long ago, my brother Zhao Gongming was assassinated by Daoist Lu Ya using Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. He was already in a state of despair. He is just waiting for his true spirit to reach that Investiture of the Gods..."
Yun Xiao's voice trembled with a hint of fear.
"At that time, my three sisters were already blinded by hatred. They were about to put down Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and make a break with the Chan Sect immortals and Xi Qi. Even if we die together, we still want to avenge our brother."
Shi Ji listened quietly without interrupting.
She could imagine the pain of losing a loved one and having no hope of success.
"But just as we were about to leave, fellow Daoist Qin Feng... appeared."
Yun Xiao's tone changed, and the sadness was quickly replaced by a deep gratitude and shock.
"He not only rescued his brother, but also made him a blessing in disguise. He cut out the good corpse and improved his cultivation level. And the arrogant Lu Ya and even his magic weapon Immortal Slaying Flying Knife were conveniently taken away by fellow Daoists."
After listening to Yun Xiao's story, Shi Ji was silent for a moment.
Her gaze turned from the reflection of Yaochi to the face of Yun Xiao, which still showed a bit of happiness and reverence.
"I haven't had your experience before."
There was an icy chill in Shi Ji's voice.
It is a hatred for the past that goes deep into the bones.
"I think back when my boy was shot dead by Nezha, I just came to the door to argue, but his master Taiyi Zhenren, that Chan Sect golden immortal, confused right and wrong, and said that I was being unreasonable."
"He relies on the fact that he is a disciple of a saint and Magic Power is very powerful. He wants to kill me directly to save his Chan Sect face."
Shi Ji's fingertips curled up slightly.
"At that moment, my state of mind was very similar to yours. Despair, helplessness, and only regretting that I was not good at cultivation and from a low background. I could only let myself be manipulated by the so-called 'destiny' and become insignificant cannon fodder in the great catastrophe."
Yun Xiao felt the same, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
She knew that Shi Ji's pain was deeper than hers.
Although the elder brother Zhao Gongming suffered a disaster, he is still the number one person in the outer sect of the Interception Sect, with the support of the entire Interception Sect behind him.
And Shi Ji, although he is also a disciple of the Interception Sect, is practicing alone in Skeleton Mountain, with no one to rely on.
Facing Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, you can imagine the pressure.
"Then what?" Yun Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"Then?"
Shi Ji's mouth curved with pride, and the cold hatred was instantly replaced by a hot light.
"Then, Qin Feng appeared."
"He broke out of the stubborn rock under my seat with just one palm."
Shi Ji stretched out a jade-white palm and waved it gently in front of Yun Xiao.
"With just one palm, the arrogant Taiyi Zhenren who kept chanting 'Heavenly Mandate', together with his magic weapon Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, were filmed into a cloud of blood."
"Not even Primordial Spirit could escape even a hair."
Yun Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly!
One palm, kill Taiyi Zhenren?
Although she had heard Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao mention this matter, now that the person involved, Shi Ji, said it in person, the impact still shocked her.
Taiyi Zhenren, that is the same generation as her brother Zhao Gongming, and even a veteran golden immortal with a better reputation!
Just like that... got slapped away?
Shi Ji looked at Yun Xiao's shocked look, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"Not only did he beat Taiyi to death, he also spoke in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, asking Yuanshi Tianzun to give him an explanation."
"Later, in front of Yuanshi Tianzun, I slapped Taiyi's Quasi-Saint clone to death."
Boom!
Yun Xiao's mind went blank.
She felt like her breathing had stopped.
In front of the saint, kill the disciple of the saint again?
How tyrannical! How lawless!
However, it is this domineering, this lawlessness that makes these living beings who are struggling under the saints feel an unprecedented... sense of security.
The two of them fell into silence again next to Yaochi.
But this time, there was a tacit understanding of sympathy in the silence.
Their experiences are so similar.
They were all rescued from the abyss by the same man at the most desperate and helpless time in the most powerful and unreasonable way.
After a long time, Yun Xiao took a deep breath.
She suddenly straightened her clothes and her expression became extremely solemn.
Immediately afterwards, she solemnly gave a standard Daoist gift to Shi Ji.
"Sister!"
Shi Ji was startled and quickly reached out to help. "Junior sister, what are you doing?"
Yun Xiao did not stand up, he still maintained his bowed posture and his tone was extremely sincere.
"Senior sister, you were the first to get started, you have been with fellow Daoist Qin Feng the longest, and you were the first one to step forward and protect fellow Daoist."
"This friendship and this status are unparalleled."
"Today, I, Yun Xiao, swear an oath here. In the future, among this Goddess Immortal Alliance, the three of my sisters will always follow my senior sister's lead, but I will never hesitate to do so!"
"I hope senior sister can give us more guidance in the future!"
These words were resounding and there was no trace of false politeness.
Yun Xiao is a smart man.
She knows very well that in the Goddess Immortal Alliance, everyone seems to be equal, but in fact, there are always differences between closeness and distance.
And Shi Ji is undoubtedly the most special and irreplaceable one in Qin Feng's heart.
Today she took the initiative to lower her profile and respect Shi Ji, not only to repay Qin Feng for saving her life, but also to find the most stable position for her and her two sisters in this new environment.
This is not only a show of goodwill to Shi Ji, but also an expression of the three sisters' most complete homecoming to Qin Feng through Shi Ji.
Shi Ji, completely stunned.
She has a simple nature, so she can't imagine the twists and turns in this.
She only saw that this direct disciple, who once had a much higher status in the Biyou Palace, was sincerely bowing to her.
An indescribable warmth instantly surged throughout Shi Ji's body.
Once upon a time, she was just an inconspicuous outer disciple among the Interception Sect. When she saw a direct disciple like Yun Xiao, she would bow respectfully.
But now, things have changed.
The other party, on the other hand, wanted to take her as the leader.
All these changes came from that man.
Shi Ji's dependence and love for Qin Feng reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
She quickly helped Yun Xiao up, with a heartfelt smile on her face.
"What did you say, junior sister! We are all sisters in the alliance now, and we should support each other, so there is no talk of following one another."
Even so, the strength of her hold on Yun Xiao's arm unconsciously increased a bit. The closeness and acceptance were self-evident.
"From now on, in this fairy alliance, we are a family. Your business is my business."
Shi Ji held Yun Xiao's hand with an extremely sincere attitude.
Yun Xiao Seeing this, the big stone in his heart completely fell to the ground, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Under the night, two stunning fairies who had struggled on different destinies formed the strongest alliance beside Yaochi.
Within the Immortal Alliance, the most powerful faction with Shi Ji as its core and Sanxiao as its arm was quietly taking shape at this moment.
And all of this was under the watchful eye of that man.
On the roof of the palace in the distance, Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the two people chatting happily next to Yaochi, with a smile of satisfaction on the corner of his mouth.
