Many Male Cultivators turned to look as Mu Yunshui stepped into the hall, one measured step at a time.
In truth, she had arrived long ago. As the Senior Martial Sister of the Immortal Sect, she was also responsible for commencing this Immortal Ascension Banquet. The appointed hour had already arrived when Chen Fan entered the hall.
Yet she had seen Chen Fan outside the hall and learned of the situation within. Acting on her own initiative, she chose to delay it. Only when those elders were about to strike at Chen Fan did she hurriedly activate the restrictions of the entire Immortal Palace. Once the restrictions were activated, it signified that the once-every-five-years Immortal Ascension Banquet had begun.
All cultivators, whether at Foundation Establishment or the Golden Core Realm, would have their True Essence Power and souls temporarily sealed, leaving everyone as mere mortals.
Mu Yunshui glided into the hall with lotus steps, light and graceful. When she saw Chen Fan looking at her, a trace of awkwardness crossed her face, though it vanished in an instant.
Though some time had passed since their journey to the West, the fact that a man had seen her naked body still weighed heavily on her mind. In such circumstances, most women would have no choice but to kill the man in order to preserve their purity.
But she knew she could not possibly be Chen Fan's match. Besides, Chen Fan had saved her twice—she could not bring herself to strike ruthlessly against him again.
On the surface, Mu Yunshui was a qualified Senior Martial Sister who put the Immortal Sect's interests first. Yet at heart, she was far too kind and softhearted. Otherwise, she would not have helped the sect-defecting Qin Xian'er time and again.
