【Three thousand li outside the Tiandi Pavilion, deep within an immortal mountain.】

【Zhong Qin lounged lazily in a chair woven from vines.】

【Before her knelt two immortals, their bodies covered in wounds.】

【Their expressions were filled with terror, to the point of sheer panic.】

【Their bodies trembling slightly as though they were facing a great terror.】

【Zhong Qin casually tossed the book in her hand onto the ground in front of them.】

【She said indifferently, The writing’s decent—but the content? A bit too fake.】

【Me, the Pavilion Master Shen Bishang’s immortal companion? Where did you even get that idea?】

【The moment one of them opened his mouth to explain— a vine lashed out in a flash and pierced his forehead. He died on the spot.】

【The other immortal instantly prostrated himself, forehead pressed to the ground, begging for mercy again and again.】

【Zhong Qin didn’t spare him a single glance.】

【As if something had just come to mind, she turned to look toward the direction of the Tiandi Pavilion.】

【A perfect curve lifted at the corner of her lips.】

【Still… it’s kind of amusing.】

【The immortal dared to lift his head just slightly, but couldn’t make sense of why Zhong Qin would suddenly say something like that.】

【But he didn’t dare ask—he just buried his head back down.】

【No one knew how much time had passed, when Zhong Qin finally stood up.】

【In a quiet voice, she said, Some things are too fake, and I don’t like them. But some things you’ve written are too true.】

【It will make it impossible for them to save face.】

【As soon as the words left her lips— countless vines suddenly burst forth, skewering the immortal through the chest.】

【He collapsed to the ground, blood from his mouth staining the book red.】

【Two days later.】

【Ye Yu made a new immortal friend at the Tiandi Pavilion.】

【His new neighbor: Ji Lingqing.】

【The man had a handsome face, and like Ye Yu, was also at the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm.】

【He was an absolute chatterbox.】

【That day, after parting ways with Zhong Qin and returning to his own cultivation hall, Ye Yu happened to bump into Ji Lingqing.】

【The latter greeted him in a very familiar manner.】

【Having learned his lesson from what happened with Zhong Qin, Ye Yu was on high alert and asked for his name right away.】

【Only after confirming that Ji Lingqing wasn’t a character from that book did he gradually let down his guard.】

【To be fair, Ji Lingqing had a great personality—very outgoing.】

【People like that usually had wide social circles and knew quite a bit.】

【Ye Yu ended up learning a lot from him.】

【For instance: The Sect Master Shen Bishang and Zhong Qin weren’t actually immortal partners.】

【Zhong Qin was merely a guest elder.】

【No one knew how high her cultivation truly was, nor had anyone ever seen her make a move.】

【But the fact that Sect Master Shen Bishang had feelings for Zhong Qin—that was no secret within the Tiandi Pavilion.】

【In fact, most of the southern Heavenly Realm knew about it.】

【And Shen Bishang wasn’t her only admirer.】

【There was also Yan Qiansong, the Sect Master of Suxin Sect.】

【Three hundred years ago, during the Grand Immortal Assembly, Yan Qiansong had laid eyes on Zhong Qin— and fell head over heels, utterly smitten.】

【He, too, wished to fall at her feet.】

【But in the face of the affections of two powerful sect leaders, Zhong Qin turned both of them down.】

【She made it clear: her heart was set solely on the path of the Dao—she had no time for romance.】

【Still, Shen Bishang and Yan Qiansong weren’t about to give up so easily. Instead, they continued to shower her with favors.】

【Over time, their rivalry evolved into a barely concealed power struggle.】

【It was said they had already clashed multiple times in private— each bout ending in a draw. Neither could overpower the other.】

【Eventually, even the sects themselves—Tiandi Pavilion and Suxin Sect— began having constant frictions over the smallest things.】

【And as time went on…】

【The conflict between the two sects had already escalated into outright hostility, like fire and water.】

【Not only did the two sect leaders do nothing to stop it, they even tacitly allowed such behavior.】

【Maybe… deep down, they’d both longed for a proper fight.】

【After learning all this, Ye Yu’s expression grew complicated.】

【It seemed that the book was far more exaggerated than expected.】

【Completely off the mark—nothing lined up at all!】

【No wonder no one dared sell it in the southern Heavenly Realm.】

【If the two sect leaders found out, they’d surely crush them.】

【Wait—hold on.】

【Actually, there were some things in this book that were true.】

【Like how the feud between the Tiandi Pavilion and the Suxin Sect might have started over Zhong Qin.】

【The saying “beauty is the source of disaster” applied to this woman all too well.】

【Still, she had the capital to back it up.】

【Aside from that, Ye Yu also came to understand why the other immortals in the sect all seemed so tense and in a hurry.】

【Almost every one of them had a task.】

【They were all monitoring the movements of the Suxin Sect disciples.】

【Which only confirmed what Zhong Qin had said: a war between the Tiandi Pavilion and the Suxin Sect was imminent.】

【And the thought of it made Ye Yu feel quite excited.】

【It was on this very day that Ye Yu received orders to head toward the vicinity of Suxin Sect and begin to observe and monitor.】

【If anything unusual occurred, he was to report it immediately via communication stone.】

【And since Ye Yu was still considered a newcomer, the sect even assigned someone to accompany him.】

【Who else could it be but Ji Lingqing.】

【The two of them packed up and departed quietly.】

【In truth, the Tiandi Pavilion wasn’t too far from the Suxin Sect. Just a few hours of travel was all it took to arrive.】

【Standing atop a drifting auspicious cloud, Ye Yu gazed into the distance at the Suxin Sect and asked softly, A’Qing, when do you think the fighting will start?】

【Ji Lingqing gave him a strange look. Why is it that every time you talk about fighting, you get all excited?】

【Don’t think that just because they gave you a mission, it means we’re about to start a fight.】

【Let me be honest with you—teams like ours are usually sent out in groups of ten or more. They rotate every half day.】

【The whole point is just to observe the rival sect’s recent activity.】

【The real battle? Still a long way off.】

【This is a war between two major sects. One wrong move and it could all go up in smoke.】

【So of course they’ll take their time. They’ll only strike once they find the enemy’s fatal weakness!】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu frowned slightly.】

【That complicated, huh?】

【And it’s still gonna take a while?】

【Well that’s just not a great use of time…】

【Ye Yu was not a fan of waiting.】

【So naturally, his mind started turning—how could he break the stalemate?】

【Ideally, he wanted them to start fighting today.】

【It didn’t take long for an idea to form in his head.】

【He casually made an excuse about wanting to look around, and turned to leave.】

【[However, Ji Lingqing suddenly grew a bit bashful and said in a low voice, Brother, I’ve got a crush on a certain fairy. Yesterday, I wrote her a love letter and planned to use it to win her over.】

【But I’m not sure about it, so I want you to take a look and see how it reads.】

【If you can help me refine it, that would be great.】

【As he spoke, Ji Lingqing pulled out the letter and handed it to Ye Yu.】

【Ye Yu only glanced at it briefly and instantly knew: if this letter got sent, failure was guaranteed.】

【Reason? The handwriting was simply atrocious!】
