Tan Yongsheng expressed deep gratitude in his eyes as he spoke, "It was under the desperate obstruction of Xinying that I did not attack the Huangfu Sacred Sect."
"If I had attacked and failed to kill Tan Yun before encountering Yi'er, wouldn’t she hate me to death?"
"Later, when Xinying grew up, being exceptionally intelligent and talented, I regarded her as a great gift sent to me by heaven after losing Yi'er."
"Thus, I cultivated her and cherished her like a precious gem. However, I never expected Xinying would fall in love with you, Yun'er."
"At that time, she threatened to die if I did not give up on attacking the Huangfu Sacred Sect. In my anger, I destroyed her spirit pool and sent her to the Heavenly Prison. Looking back now, I truly feel guilty towards her."
"However, it’s strange that years ago when I released Xinying, she actually regained her senses, and her spirit pool was restored as well!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Mengyi held onto Tang Yongsheng's right arm and smiled gently, saying, "Father, Xinying was able to recover because Tan Yun crafted three types of elixirs for her and had someone deliver them."
"Really?" Tang Yongsheng looked at Tan Yun in shock. "Yun'er, you can heal someone whose spirit pool has been destroyed?"
Tan Yun replied honestly, "As long as the bodily functions of the one whose spirit pool is destroyed can withstand the medicinal power of the elixirs, they can be healed."
"Father-in-law, where is Xinying now? Your son-in-law wishes to meet her."
"Sigh..." Tang Yongsheng sighed, his eyes reflecting deep guilt and longing. "Yun'er, when I let Xinying leave the Heavenly Prison, I was still angry and did not visit her."
"But after a week without seeing Xinying come to pay her respects to me, I couldn’t help but go to check on her, only to find out that Xinying had left the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty on her own."
"Even the sixth prince, Tang Xi, who loved her the most, did not know where she went."
"Tang Xi told me that Xinying would never return to this sad place, the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty."
Hearing this, Tan Yun gazed into the vast night sky outside the hall, the image of Tang Xinying's smile flashing in his mind.
Tan Yun felt a deep emptiness in his heart and sorrowfully thought, "Xinying, where on earth have you gone? In this vast world, when will we reunite..."
Tan Yun believed he had never wronged anyone, but he owed Tang Xinying too much.
Tang Mengyi noticed Tan Yun's worries and stepped forward, lightly opening her lips, saying, "Tan Yun, Xinying is a person blessed by destiny. We will meet her again one day."
"Mm." Tan Yun nodded.
At that moment, Tang Yongsheng looked at Tan Yun earnestly, saying, "Yun'er, Xinying is a fiery girl. I can feel that she has long been in love with you deeply, which is why she threatened to die to make me abandon the attack on the Huangfu Sacred Sect."
"After I return to the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty, I will send experts to search for Xinying, so you don’t need to worry about her."
Tan Yun nodded in response.
Tang Yongsheng then looked at Tang Mengyi with a fierce gaze and said, "After I return, I will make Mu Feng's Sacred Mother wish she were dead!"
"Father... please don’t!" Tang Mengyi shook her head quickly. "Father, although I also hate Mu Feng's Sacred Mother, regardless of her reasons before, she was not unkind to me."
"Therefore, I hope you won't torment her any further. When I return to the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty, I have some questions for her, and after that, I will personally kill her to avenge my mother!"
"Alright, I promise you." Tang Yongsheng looked at Tang Mengyi with reluctance. "I have to leave now, take care of yourself."
Saying this, Tang Yongsheng placed Tang Mengyi’s hand into Tan Yun’s hand and instructed, "I entrust my daughter to you."
Tan Yun tightly held Tang Mengyi’s delicate hand and assured, "You can rest assured, I will take good care of your precious daughter."
"I trust you!" After a slight smile, Tang Yongsheng left with Tian Lao, Wei Quan, Huangfu Guchong, and Song Huixin, departing from the Huangfu Sacred Sect...
