2482 Misunderstanding

The woman was unfamiliar. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, she seemed to be a belle of the universe. She exuded an elegant and noble aura.

A gentle breeze blew past and the woman’s clothes fluttered, revealing a slender and graceful figure that made one’s heart skip a beat.

Although there were many female cultivators in the academy, they were instantly disadvantaged compared to this plain-robed woman.

Even Yan Bingying, who was known as the number one beauty of the inner sect, paled in comparison to this woman.

“There’s such a woman in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain?”

“I’m afraid only Senior Sister Mo Qing of the legacy ground can be compared to her.”

Many disciples of the academy felt emotional when they saw the plain-robed woman.

Someone sighed. “Everyone says that the four great fairies are peerless beauties. Apart from Senior Sister Mo Qing, we’ve never seen the other three before.”

“However, I think that the three great fairies will only live up to their reputation if they can compare to this Fellow Daoist.”

As everyone lamented, the woman seemed to have noticed the crowd and walked over.

Although there were many disciples of the academy present, there were not many who could recognize the woman. Sword Immortal Yue Hua was one of them who could.

“Book Immortal Yun Zhu?”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned slightly and murmured, “What is she doing here?”

“Senior Brother Yue Hua, what did you just say?”

Xiao Li’s heart skipped a beat and his pitch rose unconsciously as he asked hurriedly, “Book Immortal? One of the four great fairies?”

Not many people heard what Sword Immortal Yue Hua said. However, everyone in the academy heard Xiao Li’s shout clearly!

The crowd exploded instantly, creating a huge commotion!

This plain-robed woman was one of the four great fairies, the Book Immortal!

What sort of characters were the four great fairies?

Many disciples of the academy had never even seen Painting Immortal Mo Qing before, let alone the other three great fairies.

To think that everyone would get a chance to meet another of the four great fairies today, Book Immortal Yun Zhu!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua ignored Xiao Li and revealed a smile instead. He walked towards Yun Zhu and cupped his fists. “So, it’s Fairy Yun Zhu. Why didn’t you inform me beforehand so that I could welcome you personally?”

Among the disciples of the academy present, Sword Immortal Yue Hua was probably the only one who could speak to Book Immortal Yun Zhu.

For example, although Yang Ruoxu and Xiao Li were also Perfected Immortals, they were not famous and their combat strength could not be ranked alongside the top Perfected Immortals.

Furthermore, the two of them had never seen Book Immortal Yun Zhu before and did not have any relationship with her.

Yun Zhu did not exchange pleasantries with Sword Immortal Yue Hua. Seemingly anxious, she went straight to the point. “Fellow Daoist Yue Hua, have you seen Tao Tao?”

“Tao Tao…”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s eyelids twitched when he heard that, feeling that something was amiss.

However, he could not react in time and asked in a deep voice, “Fairy Yun Zhu, don’t be anxious. Who is this Tao Tao you’re referring to and what does this person look like?”

Yun Zhu said, “He’s my Dao child. He’s around eight or nine years old and his name is Tao Yao.”

The smile on Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s face froze and his head buzzed, turning chaotic.

Yun Zhu’s Dao child, Tao Tao, was Tao Yao?

This was… a coincidence, right?

The crowd in the square gradually quietened down as well. Countless gazes shifted to the fair-faced boy beside Su Zimo.

“Princess, I-I’m here,”

Tao Yao shouted timidly.

Although the voice was weak, Yun Zhu heard it clearly. She turned around hurriedly and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Tao Yao was safe and sound before smiling.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua had an awkward expression as he coughed gently. “Fairy Yun Zhu, I think there might be some misunderstanding…”

When Yun Zhu saw Tao Yao, she was overjoyed. As though she had not heard what Sword Immortal Yue Hua said, she arrived beside Tao Yao in a flash.

“Who bullied you?”

Yun Zhu asked with a frown.

Her gaze landed on the shattered badge on Tao Yao’s waist. Her expression darkened as she said coldly, “Who shattered the badge I gave you?”

Everyone present could sense the anger in Book Immortal Yun Zhu’s heart.

Furthermore, everyone could tell that the Dao child named Tao Yao was clearly someone close to Book Immortal Yun Zhu and had nothing to do with Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain!

Many academy disciples snickered internally with gloating expressions.

Everyone looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua with pity in their eyes, waiting to see how he would end up.

Upon hearing Yun Zhu’s question, Tao Yao pouted and blinked his big, watery eyes. He extended her hand and pointed at Sword Immortal Yue Hua. “It’s him!”

Yun Zhu swept her gaze.

“I’m not, I didn’t…”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua explained hurriedly, “Fairy Yun Zhu, I truly didn’t know that he was your Dao child. It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Yun Zhu removed the badge on Tao Yao’s waist and injected True Essence. Although the badge was shattered, the word ‘Zhu’ still appeared faintly on it.

“Misunderstanding? Look carefully, this is my personal badge!”

Yun Zhu said coldly, “If Tao Tao isn’t my Dao child, whose Dao child is he?”

“Princess.”

Tao Yao had an aggrieved expression as he shook Yun Zhu’s arm gently and said with tears in his eyes, “That person earlier on said that I’m a Dao child of Desolate Martial. He even said that I’m from the Fiend Domain and called me a lowlife…”

“Tao Tao, don’t cry. Be good.”

Yun Zhu squatted down hurriedly and held Tao Yao’s tender cheeks with both hands, comforting him gently.

Tao Yao was not tainted by karma and blood. His aura was pure and anyone who saw him would have a good impression of him.

Furthermore, he looked obedient and innocent. His aggrieved appearance instantly aroused the sympathy of many cultivators.

Everyone was indifferent to Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s accusation of Tao Yao to begin with. After Yun Zhu appeared, it confirmed everyone’s judgment.

Everyone felt a sense of pity when they saw Tao Yao’s pitiful appearance.

Even Elder Chen shook his head gently with a pained expression and sighed. “Sigh, what a good child. He must have suffered immense grievances to be bullied to such an extent!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping stood at the side with widened eyes, stunned.

Although the two of them did not know Tao Yao’s true background, they knew that he was not Yun Zhu’s Dao child.

But now, both of them almost believed the acting of this adult and child!

“He’s changed! He’s changed!”

Liu Ping looked at Tao Yao and murmured softly, as though he was now knowing the latter for the first time.

Su Zimo was dumbfounded as well.

When he saw Yun Zhu appear, he instantly understood her intentions. Therefore, he was relieved and did not say anything, letting her handle the matter.

However, he had not expected Yun Zhu to do such a thing with Tao Yao.

Yun Zhu was carefree and liked to play occasionally.

Tao Yao was such an obedient child. To think that he would act as well and even cooperate rather well.

Yun Zhu stood up and looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua with a cold gaze. “Yue Hua, tell me, when did my Dao child become someone of Desolate Martial and join the Fiend Domain?”

“I…”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was stunned on the spot and looked slightly embarrassed. In his panic, he broke out in sweat.
