Chapter 105
The Immortal Realm was so vast that the disappearance of a few female immortals wouldn't cause much of a stir.
Perhaps some of their acquaintances might find it strange, but in the Immortal Realm, where lifespans were long and a single session of closed-door cultivation could last for hundreds or thousands of years, who would notice a few female immortals gone for a couple of days?
On the surface, the Immortal Realm remained as calm as ever.
It was just that the War God had been refusing all visitors lately, and no one knew what had happened.
But with the War God's martial prowess being what it was, no one thought anything bad could have happened to Xi Li.
Nor had any word spread from the War God Manor that the reason for kicking Lingling out was a case of mistaken identity.
Thus, aside from the female immortals who admired Xi Li, few paid any attention to Qiu Chi anymore.
However, while nothing had come from the War God Manor, the so-called daughter of Xi Li's friend still appeared.
She presented a token at the Nantian Gate and announced loudly, "I am Su Qin, the daughter of the War God Xi Li's old friend. I trouble you to please inform the War God of my arrival. Thank you."
If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. So, Xi Li had indeed fabricated a daughter of an old friend.
Although Qiu Chi was no longer cooperating, this person had still shown up.
The guards at Nantian Gate inspected the token in her hand and found that it did indeed carry Xi Li's immortal aura, which made them believe Su Qin's story to some extent.
However, they said, "The War God has been refusing all visitors lately. Without his permission, we cannot enter the War God Manor. Since you are the daughter of his old friend, you can only go find him yourself."
They escorted Su Qin to the War God Manor and then left.
Along the way, the news that the daughter of the War God's old friend had arrived with a token spread like wildfire.
Qiu Chi naturally heard about it as well and immediately went to the War God Manor to watch the drama unfold.
A crowd of immortals had already gathered around the War God Manor, but few dared to step forward. The onlookers had all used immortal arts to create barriers for themselves, as if afraid of being discovered.
Qiu Chi was much more direct. She simply squatted on the wall of the War God Manor to watch the show.
At that moment, Su Qin was pressing the token against the manor's barrier, shouting, "War God Xi Li, I am Su Qin, the daughter of Su Feng! I beg you to come out and see me."
Just as she finished shouting, she saw Qiu Chi on the wall, and her expression faltered for a moment.
The other spectating immortals also saw Qiu Chi and began to murmur among themselves.
"Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
"Wait, how did she get on top of the wall? Does the War God Manor's barrier not work on her?"
"Wasn't she kicked out by the War God? This doesn't look like it."
While the other immortals were debating whether Lingling had truly fallen out of favor, Su Qin looked up at Qiu Chi and spoke. "Excuse me, Fairy, did the War God send you to let me in?"
Although it was their first meeting and her tone was reasonably gentle, Su Qin felt a sense of dislike and hostility the moment she saw Qiu Chi. She felt this person would be her rival, and she had always trusted her intuition.
Qiu Chi was cracking melon seeds.
She tossed the shells directly into Xi Li's manor.
She took a moment to answer Su Qin's question. "No."
The two blunt words made Su Qin press her lips together. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Then could I trouble you, Fairy, to help me inform the War God?"
Qiu Chi refused. "No."
After a thought, she added, "I'm just here to watch the show. If you want to call someone, do it yourself."
Su Qin was somewhat angered by Qiu Chi's attitude. "Is this Fairy not a handmaiden of the War God Manor? As a handmaiden, isn't it your duty to announce my arrival?"
Qiu Chi, still cracking seeds, gave her a look of surprise. "Who told you I was his handmaiden? As if he's worthy? And duty? If I say you're trash, then your duty is to stay in a trash can. Why don't you go do that?"
Su Qin sputtered, "You..."
"What about me?"
Su Qin glared at Qiu Chi, then turned back to press the token against the barrier and continue shouting.
Inside their barriers, the other spectating immortals gossiped: "Lingling is being way too arrogant. She was never like this before. Is she just relying on the War God's favor?"
"Fight, fight! Between this 'daughter of an old friend' and Lingling, who do you think will come out on top?"
"Lingling, probably. Look how arrogant she is."
"I think it's the daughter of the old friend. No matter how favored Lingling is, she's still just a handmaiden of the War God Manor. And she's been kicked out now. How can she compare to the daughter of an old friend?"
"But the War God still hasn't come out..."
"The War God has been refusing visitors for days! It'll be a miracle if she can get him to come out at all!"
