“Hmm.” Tan Yun said, “Keep it up! If you win someone’s heart, you must treat them well.”
“Thank you for the encouragement, Boss.” Chu Xiaosa smiled.
Tan Yun solemnly replied, “Xiaosa, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you answer me seriously.”
“Boss, please go ahead.” Chu Xiaosa put away his smile.
Tan Yun asked, “If one day you married Xuan Yuan Ling Er, and I became a sworn enemy of the Xuan Yuan Family, what would you choose?”
“Don’t lie, just tell me the truth.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaosa clenched his fists and earnestly said, “If I had to choose between my wife and my boss, I... I really don’t know what to do right now.”
“But I will protect Ling Er, and I will never betray you, Boss.”
“If my only choice is to protect Ling Er with my life, I would gladly die to apologize to you!”
Hearing this, Tan Yun looked at Chu Xiaosa and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.
Chu Xiaosa had followed Tan Yun for so many years, and although he always called himself the younger brother, in Tan Yun's heart, he was a brother!
Tan Yun also understood that if one day Xuan Yuan Rou regained her memories and learned about her identity, they would surely become enemies!
At that time, both he and Chu Xiaosa would face the most difficult and painful choice.
Tan Yun felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, “I know this day will come; I just hope it arrives a little later.”
At this moment, Tan Yun didn’t selfishly ask Chu Xiaosa to stop pursuing Xuan Yuan Ling Er.
Because in Tan Yun’s heart, everyone was equal and had the right to seek their own happiness.
“Boss, what’s wrong with you?” Chu Xiaosa looked at Tan Yun anxiously.
Tan Yun smiled and patted Chu Xiaosa’s shoulder, “I’m just teasing you. But I’m very satisfied with your answer; at least you answered honestly.”
“Not like my former disciple.”
When mentioning his only former disciple, Lingxia, a hint of uncontrollable melancholy appeared in Tan Yun’s eyes.
She once told him that she would never betray him in this lifetime!
She once said that she would always stand by his side, repaying his kindness in raising and nurturing her!
However, she ruthlessly betrayed him!
Every time he thought of this, Tan Yun’s heart would ache.
Because Lingxia, who was born in the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, was not only Tan Yun's disciple but also an orphan he had raised!
“Boss, are you crying?” Chu Xiaosa noticed that Tan Yun’s eyes were slightly red and asked cautiously.
“Why are you talking nonsense? How could I be crying?” Tan Yun smiled and turned to leave. Chu Xiaosa asked, “Boss, what happened to your former disciple?”
“Disciple? Did I ever mention that?” Tan Yun left a baffling statement that left Chu Xiaosa confused, then went to the sixth floor, entering the Supreme Temporal-Spatial Holy Tower, where he began to cultivate while refining the Stellar Forging Furnace, burning thirty-two types of ores, and simultaneously refining eleven Time-Space Magic Treasures...
In the hall on the first floor, Chu Xiaosa wrinkled his nose and muttered to himself, “Boss is acting strange today. He clearly showed sadness when mentioning his disciple, mixed with anger.”
“Oh my, Boss wouldn’t really turn against the Xuan Yuan Family one day, would he?”
“No way, how could that be? General Xuanyuan treats Boss so well; Boss is definitely not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity.”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ling Er walked down from the second floor with a frown, “You little rascal, what are you mumbling about by yourself?”
Chu Xiaosa smiled, “Nothing, nothing…”
...
Two months later in the outside world, six hundred years had passed inside the tower!
“Phew!” Sitting cross-legged, Tan Yun let out a long breath, “Mission accomplished!”
At this moment, on the ground in front of Tan Yun, there were ten miniature palaces and a Celestial Holy Vessel!
Each palace was divided into nine levels, with a rank as high as the Supreme Temporal-Spatial Holy Tower, both being Supreme Celestial Holy Artifacts.
