As soon as they entered the City Lord's Mansion, a maid approached respectfully and said, “General Tan, the steward, the Master is in the Council Hall.”
“The Master said that if General Tan comes, you should go directly to the Council Hall.”
At the same time, in the Council Hall.
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong looked at Xuan Yuan Ling Er and smiled, “Ling Er, my precious daughter, I want to discuss something with you.”
“What is it, Father?” Xuan Yuan Ling Er asked happily.
“I plan to match you with Yun'er, what do you think?” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong said.
Xuan Yuan Ling Er was taken aback and then replied, “Father, the Yun'er you are talking about is Tan Yun, right?”
“Yes!” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong praised Tan Yun, “Yun'er is exceptionally gifted, with high attainments in the four arts of alchemy, tool-making, talismans, and formation techniques…”
Before Xuan Yuan Hao Kong could finish, Xuan Yuan Ling Er quickly waved her hand and said, “Father, I don’t like him, I don’t want to marry him.”
“Silly girl, feelings can be cultivated slowly!” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong laughed.
“No, absolutely not.” Xuan Yuan Ling Er took a step forward, wrapping her arm around Xuan Yuan Hao Kong's right arm, and coquettishly said, “Father, I just don’t like him, so don’t waste your efforts.”
At this point, a hint of affection flickered in Xuan Yuan Ling Er's eyes, “I already have someone I like.”
“Ah?” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong furrowed his brows, “Who is it?”
“I won't tell you for now.” Xuan Yuan Ling Er teased, “I’m testing him right now. Once he passes, I will inform you.”
“Not allowed.” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong firmly refused, “You are the daughter of Xuan Yuan Hao Kong, and only Yun'er is worthy of you in this Xuan Yuan Immortal City!”
“Father!” Xuan Yuan Ling Er pouted, “Why are you so conventional? If you truly care about me, you should respect my feelings.”
Just as Xuan Yuan Hao Kong was about to say something, Tan Yun and Zhang Yizhong entered the Council Hall.
“The younger generation congratulates the General on returning safely!” Tan Yun cupped his fists towards Xuan Yuan Hao Kong.
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong looked at Tan Yun with kindness, then said to Zhang Yizhong, “Steward, go invite the City Lord here.”
“Old Servant obeys.”
...
Moments later, the stunningly beautiful Xuan Yuan Rou walked into the Council Hall gracefully, her sapphire-like eyes revealing a deep shock as she looked at Tan Yun, “General Tan, I heard from my third brother that the City Defense Formation you set up is called the Ten Thousand Dragons City Defense Formation, which can withstand attacks from emperor realm experts for ten years without breaking?”
“Yes, City Lord.” Tan Yun replied honestly, “To be precise, it can withstand attacks from twelfth level emperor realm experts for ten years without breaking.”
“What? Such a strong defensive formation?” Xuan Yuan Rou's body trembled slightly, exclaiming in surprise.
Since she was in the sixth level of the emperor realm, didn’t that mean it would take her longer to break the City Defense Formation?
As Xuan Yuan Rou pondered this, she looked at Tan Yun, her eyes filled with admiration and shock, “General Tan, I am a saint level formation master and cannot create such a powerful defense formation. Since you can, just how advanced are your formation techniques?”
“It shouldn't be the level of a saint level celestial sacred formation master, right?”
Hearing this, Tan Yun nodded, “During my time in seclusion, my formation techniques have improved, but I am still a saint level celestial sacred formation master.”
Xuan Yuan Rou did not ask further; she nodded slightly, and at that moment, she looked at Tan Yun with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
She thought to herself, “I originally believed I was the favored daughter of heaven, but although my formation skills are equally high, I cannot set up the Ten Thousand Dragons City Defense Formation.”
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong noticed Xuan Yuan Rou's expression and laughed, “Rou'er, you are a genius in my eyes, while Yun'er is a genius among geniuses.”
