"Brother-in-law, I'm feeling a bit unwell. I’d like to return to my Immortal Valley to rest for a while," Xue Ziyan said with a smile.
"Alright, go ahead, and remember to drink the wedding wine ten days later," Tan Yun replied with a smile.
"Mm, I definitely will!" Xue Ziyan giggled, her skirt fluttering as she turned and flew away.
After Xue Ziyan returned to her Immortal Valley Pavilion, she stood elegantly by the window, lost in thought as she gazed out at the beautiful scenery.
Deep in her mind, fragments of memories with Tan Yun since their days as Outer Sect Disciples emerged.
At this moment, the images of Tan Yun as an Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, disciple of the Immortal Sect, and disciple of the Holy Gate lingered in her mind, refusing to fade away.
After a long while, Xue Ziyan bit her lip, tears falling softly as she cried out in her heart, "Tan Yun, do you know? I like you... Ziyan has liked you for a very long time!"
"Do you know? I liked you even when we were in the Outer Sect, because I was as close to Dreamtalk as sisters, so I buried my feelings for you deep in my heart..."
At the same time.
In the First Immortal Valley, Feng Qingcheng flew out of her Holy Tower, standing gracefully before Tan Yun. With a charming smile, she said, "Congratulations on your upcoming marriage."
Though Feng Qingcheng was smiling, her heart was filled with disappointment.
"Thank you," Tan Yun replied with a smile, "and I hope you find your ideal partner soon."
Feng Qingcheng smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, laughter from Feng Tianlun came from behind, "Qingcheng, Old Sovereign, when did you return?"
It was Feng Tianlun and Tang Yongsheng, smiling side by side as they approached.
"Dad, we just returned not long ago," Feng Qingcheng greeted with a smile.
"Subordinate pays respects to the Old Sovereign," Feng Tianlun deeply bowed to Tan Yun.
"No need for such formalities," Tan Yun helped Feng Tianlun up and slightly bowed to Tang Yongsheng, saying, "Greetings, father-in-law."
"Mm." Tang Yongsheng replied cheerfully, then glanced at Feng Qingcheng, "Niece Feng, your uncle and your father have something to discuss with Yun'er, why don't you take a stroll by yourself first?"
"Okay, then I won't disturb you," Feng Qingcheng smiled sweetly, and with a flutter of her skirt, she flew out of the First Immortal Valley.
Afterwards, Tan Yun and the two elders entered the great hall of the First Immortal Valley.
"Father-in-law, may I ask what you need from your son-in-law?" After taking their seats, Tan Yun asked.
Tang Yongsheng and Feng Tianlun exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Yun'er, I am a friend of Clan Leader Feng."
"Clan Leader Feng has some matters that he feels awkward to address, so he asked me to be the middleman."
Feng Tianlun nodded with a smile from the side.
Tan Yun replied, "Mm, father-in-law, please go ahead."
Tang Yongsheng kindly said, "Yun'er, what do you think of this girl, Qingcheng?"
Tan Yun honestly answered, "Kind-hearted, skilled, stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally talented."
"I didn't expect your evaluation of Qingcheng to be so high," Tang Yongsheng laughed, "Yun'er, Clan Leader Feng wants to betroth Qingcheng to you. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun was taken aback.
He didn't expect that Tang Yongsheng was acting as a matchmaker.
"Father-in-law, and Clan Leader Feng," Tan Yun sincerely said, "I have known Qingcheng for many years; we are confidants."
"Romantic feelings between men and women are not something that can be arranged by elders, so I hope the two of you won't trouble yourselves about Qingcheng and me."
Tan Yun's words were quite tactful, effectively refusing.
Feng Tianlun smiled awkwardly.
Tang Yongsheng's expression grew serious as he said, "Yun'er, what if Qingcheng really likes you?"
"Likes?" Tan Yun laughed, "Father-in-law, don't joke around. How could Qingcheng possibly like me?"
"Old Sovereign, no one knows their daughter better than the father," Feng Tianlun sighed, "Qingcheng is shy, she hides everything in her heart."
