~3 minute read · 740 words

When Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect saw Lin Xuankong remain silent, his heart grew anxious. Although Lin Xuankong had just agreed to become the First Tributor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, the conditions offered by the Vice Sect Leaders from the other Immortal Sects were simply too good—so good that even he, the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, felt somewhat helpless! What he feared most now was Lin Xuankong suddenly going back on his word and agreeing to the terms offered by the Vice Sect Leaders of those other Immortal Sects! Yet, Sect Leader Li had no other recourse; the concrete advantages of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were what they were, and he couldn’t magically produce anything more appealing. Overcome with anxiety, he couldn’t help but repeatedly shoot meaningful glances at Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er, hoping this famously intelligent fairy could devise a solution.

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er saw her Sect Leader repeatedly shooting glances her way and naturally understood his meaning. However, what solution could she possibly have?

However, in her urgency, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er suddenly thought of her elder sister, Qu Wan’Er, and Qu Wan’Er’s disciple, Li Xiaolan.

A glint appeared in her eyes. She smiled at Lin Xuankong and said, "Mr. Mu, although our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect cannot offer the conditions presented by those other Immortal Sects, you and Li Xiaolan, the True Disciple of our sect’s Earth Immortal Qu Wan’Er, are both from the Great Xia Dynasty. Surely, you’d prefer to be in the same sect as someone from your homeland!"

In her desperation and helplessness, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er had resorted to playing the sentiment card!

Little did Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er know that Young Lady Li Xiaolan was far more than just a fellow native of the Great Xia Dynasty to Lin Xuankong. In this entire cosmos, if one were to name the person Lin Xuankong cared for most, it would undoubtedly be Young Lady Li Xiaolan!

As soon as Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er finished speaking, the Earth Immortals from the other Immortal Sects couldn’t help but laugh.

The Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Beimang Immortal Sect chuckled, "Fairy Qu of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, it seems your sect has no other conditions that can compare with our Beimang Immortal Sect! To think Fairy Qu would play the ’fellow countryman’ card, hahaha! We cultivators aim to cultivate immortality and seek the Dao; how could we care so much about worldly ties like being from the same homeland? Could this Li Xiaolan, this fellow countrywoman, possibly be more important in Mr. Mu’s heart than the path to immortality and the vastly superior conditions we offer!"

Guo Haishan, the Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, also couldn’t help laughing. "Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu, if you can’t present any decent conditions to retain Mr. Mu, then you might as well say nothing! Talking about fellow countrymen, hahaha, do you take us for common mortals? I think your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is truly unworthy of Mr. Mu remaining as a Tributor. Mr. Mu coming to our Western Nether Immortal Sect is the best choice!"

The other Third-Grade Earth Immortal, from the West Star Immortal Sect, also burst into hearty laughter nearby, evidently convinced that Lin Xuankong would never stay in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect merely because of some ’fellow countryman’!

In the eyes of these three Third-Grade Earth Immortals, the terms offered by their three sects, though different, were all vastly superior to those proposed by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. It was absolutely impossible for Lin Xuankong to reject their offers and instead remain with the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

Lin Xuankong, however, upon hearing Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’er’s words, paused. A look of resolve gradually firmed in his eyes.

Thinking this, Lin Xuankong’s heart no longer held a trace of hesitation.

He looked towards the Third-Grade Earth Immortals from the Beimang Immortal Sect, the Western Nether Immortal Sect, and the West Star Immortal Sect. Then, he cupped his hands slightly and spoke, "Esteemed Earth Immortal seniors, Mu Shiba is deeply grateful that you hold me in such high regard and have offered such generous conditions!"
