Ye Chuanze had transformed into a human form, and could no longer reside in the lotus pond as before. Hongjun allowed him to choose a room in the Northern Courtyard as his residence in the Purple Cloud Palace. The Northern Courtyard was a distance away from Hongjun's sleeping quarters, specifically designated for the disciples under his tutelage. The Three Pure Ones lived there, and after some consideration, Ye Chuanze ultimately chose to reside next to Sky-Connecting in the Quiet Harmony Residence.
The reason for choosing to be neighbors with Sky-Connecting was simply that among the Three Pure Ones, he got along best with Sky-Connecting. The three brothers of the Three Pure Ones had distinctly different personalities. Primordial was cold-natured, Laozi was enigmatic, and neither of them were the type Ye Chuanze preferred to interact with. Only Sky-Connecting had a clear and open mind, acting with an unrestrained demeanor, embodying a certain carefree pride. Like a plum blossom blooming in the icy cold, Primordial inherited the chill of the plum blossom, Sky-Connecting embodied its pride, while Laozi was like the unassuming trunk of the plum tree—seemingly ordinary and easily overlooked, yet it was indeed the main branch of this plum blossom.
Upon hearing that the Three Pure Ones each had their own residences in the Purple Cloud Palace, Ye Chuanze couldn't help but feel surprised. In his impression, the Three Pure Ones were one entity and had seemingly never been apart. Whenever he thought of one of them, it naturally brought to mind the other two. Ye Chuanze believed they would never separate, even in terms of their living arrangements. Sharing a bed and sleeping together would always be their way.
Thinking this way made Ye Chuanze chuckle and shake his head; after all, the Three Pure Ones were all adult men. No matter how close their relationship was, they wouldn't squeeze into one bed or live in one room together. Having their own places was normal. He had never seen brothers who slept in the same bed for life; it might have been possible when they were young, but as they grew up, separation was inevitable. Time was always so cruel, taking away many pure and beautiful things from the past that could never return.
On his first day at Quiet Harmony Residence, Ye Chuanze set up a tea banquet to invite the Three Pure Ones over as guests. The reason it wasn't a wine banquet was simply because he had promised someone that after transforming, he would join him for a hearty drink until they were both intoxicated. Since there was a prior engagement, he couldn't break his promise; thus, he opted for tea this time when hosting the Three Pure Ones.
The banquet was set up in the courtyard in front of Quiet Harmony Residence—a small yard planted with several low flowering trees that Ye Chuanze couldn't identify. The trees bore unknown light purple flowers that resembled Six-angled Plum but were lighter in color and bloomed in summer. Upon seeing these flowers, Ye Chuanze thought of that Purple-Clad Daoist who also donned purple attire; however, if Hongjun were truly a flower, it would have been one that bloomed in winter—summer's heat did not suit him.
Standing under the tree, Ye Chuanze slightly tilted his head to gaze at the purple flowers above. His handsome face and elegant features were complemented by a captivating Black Lotus on his forehead. Dressed entirely in black with a cinched waist, he stood tall and graceful with an air of cold detachment.
It was early summer now, and the purple flowers on the branches were blooming vibrantly, filling the air with their fragrance.
Underneath the flowering tree stood a white jade stone table adorned with a tea set and several plates of Spiritual Fruit.
The Three Pure Ones slowly approached from afar. Upon seeing the arrangement on the table, Sky-Connecting exclaimed loudly, "Brother Ye, you invited us here just to serve us this...?"
Ye Chuanze couldn't help but laugh at this remark. He turned around and said to Sky-Connecting, "Today we only have tea; there will be no wine served. Don't look down on it; this tea is good tea—there's no need for more words; why not give it a try?"
"Three senior brothers, please take a seat," Ye Chuanze welcomed the Three Pure Ones to sit down and placed tea cups before them before pouring each of them a cup of tea.
The tea appeared light green and steamed warmly while exuding an aromatic fragrance that cleared one's mind upon inhalation.
The Three Pure Ones picked up their cups and took small sips. The taste lingered pleasantly on their lips and teeth. As it flowed into their bellies, it nourished their spleens and invigorated their spirits.
"Good tea!" Sky-Connecting couldn't help but praise.
Even Primordial looked satisfied and took another sip.
I remained composed and poured myself a second cup of tea.
Ye Chuanze seemed to have prepared very small cups, each cup only held a few sips before it was empty.
"Do you still think I'm fooling you, Sky-Connecting?" Ye Chuanze said with a smile as he looked at him.
Sky-Connecting's expression was pleased as he replied with a grin, "I always knew Brother Ye was a sincere and honest person, so you wouldn't casually fool us. That remark earlier was just a joke."
Ye Chuanze smiled but said nothing in response.
After a moment of silent tea tasting, Primordial set down his cup and said, "I haven't congratulated you on your transformation yet. Let me offer my congratulations now; I hope you don't mind the delay."
"Thank you, Senior Brother," Ye Chuanze replied.
"Brother Ye, this is the end of hardship and the beginning of joy. Are you happy now?" Sky-Connecting said teasingly.
"Not as happy as you are!" Ye Chuanze retorted sharply, noticing the mischievous look on his face. He poured a cup of tea for him and said, "Just drink your tea!"
"Junior Brother! Are you getting flustered? If you're flustered like this, what will you do later?" Sky-Connecting shook his head and feigned a sigh.
Ye Chuanze frowned at his words, "What do you mean by 'what will I do'?"
"You and Nüwa!" Sky-Connecting said, looking at him with an impish expression. "You had quite a close relationship with her before your transformation. Now that you've transformed, don't you have any other thoughts in your heart?"
Ye Chuanze felt an urge to splash the hot tea in front of him onto Sky-Connecting's face.
"Are you feeling shy, Junior Brother?" Sky-Connecting said. "That's not acceptable! You need to learn from Di Jun; behaving like this won't win a woman's heart."
"Enough... Sky-Connecting, please stop! My relationship with Nüwa is innocent. If anything, it would be more accurate to say I have a connection with Fuxi; that has some possibility. As for Nüwa, forget it. She's someone I can't aspire to." Ye Chuanze felt a pang of discomfort just thinking about Nüwa, let alone entertain any romantic thoughts. The last time he spoke ill of Nüwa behind her back, she overheard him and made his life miserable for quite some time; it was truly tormenting!
Sky-Connecting looked shocked and said, "You and Fuxi... I seem to have stumbled upon something significant." His expression suddenly changed as he realized something, muttering those three words repeatedly, "No wonder! No wonder!"
"...Senior Brother, just leave!" Ye Chuanze swallowed the harsher words he wanted to say and opted for a more refined expression.
"Ah!" Sky-Connecting sighed, sounding quite emotional. "I always thought Fuxi treated you too well; I didn't expect it to be like this... I truly lack the cultivation to see through the illusions and seek the truth."
"...Senior Brother, you are still trapped in illusions. Not only have you failed to perceive the truth, but you have also completely fallen into a falsehood." Ye Chuanze began to doubt his previous belief that Sky-Connecting was the only one among the Three Pure Ones he could communicate with. Even when combined with Primordial and Laozi, they couldn't match his destructive power. This guy was actually the ultimate weapon among the Three Pure Ones! Damn it! Ye Chuanze couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Sky-Connecting raised his eyes, looking at him disapprovingly. "I understand, Junior Brother; you don't need to deny it."
"What do you understand... What am I denying? I... I..." Ye Chuanze slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Sky-Connecting with fierce intent. "Senior Brother, let's spar!"
"Junior Brother... you're actually going to fight me over a man!" Sky-Connecting said incredulously.
"..." Ye Chuanze.
At that moment, Ye Chuanze wished he could take down Sky-Connecting. He silently recited a calming mantra and suppressed his anger. When he looked up again, he saw Sky-Connecting watching him with a teasing expression. "Junior Brother, your cultivation is lacking! Getting angry like this..."
Sky-Connecting shook his head with an expression of disappointment.
"...Damn it!" This time he couldn't hold back and cursed out loud; it seemed that Sky-Connecting had been playing him all along!
Sky-Connecting appeared relaxed as he raised his teacup and drank it all in one go, exuding an air of nonchalance. "It was just a joke; don't take it seriously, Junior Brother."
"My friendship with Fuxi is deep and pure. Senior Brother, please refrain from making such foolish remarks in the future that insult our friendship. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry; we will have to spar then!" Ye Chuanze said sternly.
"Just make sure Di Jun doesn't hear you say that," Sky-Connecting suddenly remarked.
"Why?" Ye Chuanze asked, momentarily confused.
"You haven't heard from your master these days while nursing your injuries, have you? Di Jun has taken a liking to a Fairy and is fervently pursuing her. That Fairy looks just like you, with an expression of having been insulted, and she shows no mercy towards Di Jun. Di Jun, on the other hand, is completely sincere, swearing to the heavens that his feelings for her are genuine and pure," Sky-Connecting said, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Ye Chuanze was shocked by this news and murmured, "I just left the Lower Realm for a few days, and such a big event has already happened!"
"Wait... what does this have to do with me? I'm not competing with him for a woman," Ye Chuanze suddenly realized.
Sky-Connecting glanced at him and replied, "Think carefully about what you just said. If Di Jun hears it, he will definitely think you are insulting the purity of his love for that Fairy. He will get angry."
"...Is that even possible?"
"Why wouldn't it be? Isn't Di Jun always like this?"
"Always how?"
"Petty and vengeful."
"…"
Ye Chuanze was momentarily stunned by such explosive news. Most Primordial beings were cold and indifferent, focused solely on their cultivation, and had never experienced the intense and passionate emotions of love. Ye Chuanze had always thought that love had nothing to do with immortals. Little did he know that Di Jun was now deeply entangled in romantic feelings. This was the first instance of love between immortals since the beginning of creation, and the impact was felt not only by Ye Chuanze but also by all the Primordial beings.
For the first time, the immortals realized that there existed an emotion called love, fiery and intense.
From then on, a new door to a world opened!
After a while, Ye Chuanze snapped back to reality from his shock and said to Sky-Connecting with a tone of reflection, "I was wondering why you were acting so strangely today and saying these things; it turns out it's because of this! Di Jun... Di Jun is digging his own grave; I can't shake the feeling that he will end up in tragedy. Who is that Fairy Di Jun has his eyes on?"
"The Fairy born from Moon Star is named Xi He," Sky-Connecting replied.
Ye Chuanze raised the corners of his lips, with a malicious look on his face: "From what you said, it seems that Fairy hates Di Jun?" "That's true." "Hoho...hoho...hoho ...Ho ho…" Ye Chuanze banged the table and burst out with a burst of gloating laughter, "Di Jun, you also have today!" Sky-Connecting nodded in agreement and said, "Of course. It’s really nice to see!” “Indeed!” Nowadays, all the immortals in Primordial are paying close attention to Di Jun’s love journey, and... desperately hope that he will be tragic. The bud of love begins to sprout in Primordial. Qingxiu is very depressing, but the world of mortals is also charming.
