Chapter 296

Now that Fairy Lingqing had invited so many Immortals to celebrate her birthday with such fanfare, she likely had something important to announce.

The Immortals made their way into the Main Hall.

Many tables and chairs had been set out inside, ready for the guests.

On the dais sat a man and a woman, both graceful as Immortals.

The man had an otherworldly bearing, while the woman was cool and beautiful, her gaze proud and aloof.

They were chatting with their bodies turned toward each other. The woman smiled like a flower in bloom, her expression full of tenderness.

The sight stirred suspicion among the guests below.

This master and disciple did not look like an ordinary pair.

Before the banquet began, a fairy brought forward a zither carved entirely from green jade.

"I made this zither myself. It can change form, and it's a top-grade immortal treasure. Heavenly Venerable Fuxin, I'd like to give it to Senior Brother Wenhua."

At those words, the male Immortal named Wenhua lit up with delight.

He was the disciple of another elder in the Sect, and his standing there was equal to Fairy Lingqing's.

"Junior Sister Luan, this is wonderful! An immortal beast destroyed my weapon the last time I visited an Immortal's Cave Abode and blessed land. I happen to need a new one."

Just then, Fairy Lingqing's soft, honeyed voice rang out. "Senior Brother, I like this zither. Why don't you give it to me?"

She clung to Heavenly Venerable Fuxin's arm and wheedled, "Master, make Senior Brother give me the zither."

Wenhua froze. "Junior Sister, Junior Sister Luan gave it to me."

Heavenly Venerable Fuxin's face abruptly darkened. "Wenhua, it's only a zither. What's wrong with letting your junior sister have it? I'll give you a new one another day."
