Little girl Shuyu took everyone to a corner which was a little far away but where they could see their grandmother.

Paimon: "What's wrong, Shuyu?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask this question when we were having dinner," Shuyu looked at everyone seriously, "Are you immortals?"

“Eh? This...this..." Paimeng looked at Xianyun. Master Liuyun’s disguise ability was so poor that he couldn’t even fool a child!

"You have very special temperaments. This sister Xianyun even called herself 'the immortal'. Sister Su also called sister Xianyun 'the true lord'." Shuyu has always been a careful girl.

"Well, that's right," Xianyun admitted straightforwardly, "I am indeed an immortal, is there any problem?"

After hearing Xianyun's confession, Shuyu couldn't hide her excitement and told everyone that she had seen an immortal when she was a child.

One year she had a high fever and her grandmother was not by her side. When she was in a daze, a white crane immortal descended from the sky!

"The White Crane Immortal carried me to a cave and fed me elixirs. When I woke up again, I found myself lying on my bed at home, and my illness was cured."

"It's a pity that I was in a coma the whole time and didn't thank the White Crane Immortal until the end." Shuyu said this with both gratitude and regret, "Excuse me, do you know such a White Crane Immortal? She is a pure white crane."

Pure white crane immortal?

"We've only seen black and brown," Paimon looked at Xianyun, "and blue and white."

Could it be that there are other colors of crane immortals that they haven’t seen?

"The pure-colored White Crane Immortal is just a fictional depiction in people's books. This immortal has never seen one." Xianyun's tone was very affirmative.

As immortals practice for a long time, their animal forms will be stained with the colors of the elements.

Her tone was so certain that Shuyu began to doubt her own memory.

"Is this really just a dream?" Or was her vision blurred by the fever and she saw the wrong color?

"We've rested enough, let's go to Wangshu Inn now." Xianyun actively changed the subject.

Seeing that the immortal was so kind and concerned about her grandmother, Shuyu finally smiled brightly, a child of her age should, "Thank you! I'll go pick up my grandmother now."

——*——*——

After a group of people arrived at Wangshu Inn, Grandma Yuandai was indeed impressed by this place.

Not only was she familiar with the layout and location of the inn, she also recalled some interesting things, "I remember the fish here was delicious! And in the sky far away, there was always one bird that fell behind when flying south."

At that time, she was so anxious looking at the bird that she wished she could fly up and give it a ride.

"I lived here for a while. Which room was it? Let me look for it." Revisiting the old place, Yuan Dai was also very interested in exploring.

The inn was crowded and all kinds of people, and Shuyu was worried about her grandmother running around alone, so she followed them.

A figure appeared silently behind everyone.

Seeing Xianyun, Kong and Su suddenly turn their heads together, Paimeng turned around in confusion, and then was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao!

"Woooa! Xiao!"

The habit of appearing suddenly without making any noise is really scary! Xiao is too suitable to be an assassin!

While patrolling nearby, Xiao sensed a familiar aura and the aura of an inhuman being, so he hurried back.

Xiao glanced at the backs of a pair of grandparents not far away and then retracted his gaze, "Since Master Liuyun Jiefeng is here too, I must have been worrying too much."

Xiao greeted Master Liuyun, whose human form he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked Su about her recent situation.

"In the end, Xiao also recognized it at first sight?" Paimeng muttered disappointedly.

"Of course. During the Demon War, I fought alongside her many times." Xiao had often seen the human form of Master Liuyun before.

Although at that time, Master Liuyun became very taciturn due to his death, and only spoke when he cast spells, he later turned into a crane, and basically only moved around in the mountains and fields, rarely entering the mortal world.

"Doesn't that mean Xianyun's normal form was a human before? Then why did she change back into a fairy bird later?" Paimeng put himself in her shoes. The fairy bird form is so inconvenient that it's hard for her to even hold chopsticks!

Seeing that Su seemed to be very curious about the deeds of Master Liuyun, Xiao couldn't help but say a few more words.

"After the war, Master Liuyun lived in seclusion in Aozang Mountain, and most of the time she appeared in the form of a crane." Xiao added, "But more than 30 years ago, I saw her transform into a human form. At that time..."

"Ahem!" Master Liuyun quickly interrupted Xiao's reminiscence, "These are all trivial matters, it's better not to mention them."

Xiao was clearly a taciturn immortal in the past, why is he so talkative now?

"Let's stop here. I'll take my leave now." Xiao stopped talking, thinking of the daily patrol that had not yet been completed, and said goodbye to Su, "If you have anything important, you can call my name."

As soon as Xiao left, Su flew to the door of his attic with the help of the wind as if he was familiar with the place. He placed the prepared packages on the table and gently closed the unlocked door.

As soon as Su came down, Shuyu came over with Grandma Yuandai.

"Grandma really remembered some things here!" Shuyu was very excited.

Grandma Yuandai recalled that she had stayed in Wangshu Inn for a period of time to recuperate from an illness. She couldn't remember what illness she had, but she knew it was very serious and incurable.

At that time, she was often unconscious. Occasionally, when she regained consciousness, she would burst into tears for no reason when she saw the birds flying outside the window.

Later, a businessman heard about her story. This mysterious businessman, who was wrapped in a cloak, wearing a bamboo hat and had a mustache, sold her a bottle of "Soul-awakening Pill", saying that it was a pill made from the blood of an immortal, and that taking it would relieve her symptoms.

Yuan Dai, who was at her wit's end, took the elixir and actually recovered successfully, and had no problems for many years.

Kong, who originally thought that the businessman was a liar, looked thoughtful.

To some extent, the experiences of Shuyu and Yuandai are actually the same - they receive direct or indirect help from immortals in times of crisis.

Could it be the same immortal who is hiding behind the scenes and helping them? Is there something special about them that makes them be helped in this way, or is this the "immortal fate" that the people of Liyue admire?

Revisiting an old place really helps to refresh your memory, so a group of people decided to go to the next place.

A group of people came to the north of Jueyunjian. It was basically a wasteland with only dilapidated houses that could not be moved scattered around.

The walls of the unattended houses had basically collapsed after years of wind and rain. Only one house was relatively well preserved, and a group of people decided to go there to rest.

As she reached the door of the house, Yuan Dai recalled new memories.

"Shuyu, your father was born here." Yuandai's thoughts went back to that terrible night.

"It was a moonless night. Your grandfather helped me escape when I was injured. There were many things chasing us in the impenetrable fog!"

Although she knew that her grandmother would be safe in the end, Shuyu was still worried.

"My stomach hurts so much that I can't run anymore, so let's hide here. Your grandfather has set up a barrier outside..."

At that time, Yuandai thought they would not survive, so she knelt on the ground and prayed over and over again.

"All the faults are caused by me. Please bring the punishment for breaking the promise on me and let the child go!" Yuandai repeated her prayer that night, tears glistening in her eyes.

Everyone present was infected by the powerlessness and sadness in her voice, and even Xianyun, who had experienced a lot in the world, showed a hint of sadness in her eyes.
