The Pursuit After the Breakup
Immortal Venerable Qinglan, Qi Xiuyun, once brought back a pretty, sweet-looking disciple from an expedition. Everyone was baffled by how the usually aloof immortal venerable patiently indulged him at every turn. He never punished him for causing trouble, always took his side when he got into fights, and even cooked special meals himself to help him build up his strength.
What was going on? No one could make sense of it.
Later, they found out. This wasn't a disciple at all. It was a pet, a plump little bird with brilliantly colored feathers! And it was so soft and fluffy!
Su Yuan: Why are you so good to me?
Qi Xiuyun gazed at him with glassy, jade-colored eyes. "Because I love you."
The tuft on Su Yuan's head bobbed as he shyly lowered his head.

Later, word spread that Immortal Venerable Qinglan had nearly caused the young master of the demon clan to die in the Abyss of No Return, making the immortal and demon realms sworn enemies.
Immortal Lord Qinglan endured eighty-one tortures, waded through the Spring of Scarlet Flames, and descended into the Bottomless Ravine before he could finally see the person he had longed for day and night.
He staggered forward, consumed by grief. "...I was wrong. I failed you."
Su Yuan gave him an innocent smile. "Who are you?"
Qi Xiuyun froze. Had he really forgotten him?
Trembling, he took out a phoenix feather. "A Yuan, do you remember this? You gave it to me as a token of our love."
Su Yuan frowned and snatched it away. "This is one of my treasured feathers. It's meant for my mate!"
The two of them went to the peach tree where they had first met. Qi Xiuyun remembered the fiery red figure resting leisurely on a branch, and his eyes grew wet. "A Yuan, do you remember this place?"
Su Yuan shook his head. "I don't remember, but just looking at this tree makes my heart ache."
