Tan Yun looked at Xianxian with a calm expression.
“Don’t worry too much. I have my reasons for doing so,” he replied.
Xianxian’s brows furrowed in concern.
“Even so, the consequences could be severe. Grand Marshal Bai is not someone to be trifled with. He is a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm.”
Tan Yun nodded, understanding her fears.
“I am aware of the risks, but it was a necessary step to show that I am not afraid of him. We must be prepared for whatever comes next.”
Xianxian took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves.
“Alright, but we should make plans and not act recklessly. We need to find a way to strengthen ourselves before facing him.”
Tan Yun smiled, appreciating her concern.
“Exactly. We will train hard and gather allies. Together, we will overcome any challenges.”
As they spoke, the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple.
The two of them flew higher into the mountains, the cool breeze ruffling their clothes.
With determination in their hearts, they prepared for the battles that lay ahead.
“And now, this is just the beginning!”
“Let’s go, I will accompany you to Skyreach Immortal City now.”
Upon hearing this, Xianxian thought of the old steward who would help her deliver the message to her father, so she said, “Tan Yun, I suddenly don’t want to go to Skyreach Immortal City anymore.”
“Let’s find a quiet place to enter seclusion and cultivate instead!”
After hearing this, Tan Yun nodded, “Alright, but by the way, do you know where this place is?”
Xianxian shook her head, “I don’t know, but I have a map of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. I’ll find out right away, please wait a moment.”
Then, Xianxian took out a map jade tablet from her Immortal Ring. After inspecting it for a while with her immortal sense, she spoke with a melodious voice, “The mountain range we are in is the Immortal Sea Mountain Range in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”
“We are located in the central region of the Immortal Sea Mountain Range. With our speed, it will take three years to fly out of the mountain range, and by then, we will reach the outer area of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea connected to the mountain entrance.”
“I’ve heard since I was young that the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea is surrounded by mountains, has beautiful scenery, and is rich in heaven and earth immortal qi. It’s a wonderful place.”
“Moreover, there are thousands of islands in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, each with one to several Immortal Sects.”
“Why don’t we go there to enter seclusion?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun’s mind was quite familiar with the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, and he nodded, “The most beautiful place in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea is an island called Wan Chong Yun Hai Island.”
“Let’s go to Wan Chong Yun Hai Island!”
“Okay.” Xianxian smiled, “I’ll follow your lead.”
Tan Yun said, “You should enter the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens and go into seclusion first.”
Thinking about the separation that would come in over forty years, Xianxian laughed, “I don’t want to enter seclusion right now. I’d prefer to accompany you while flying, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.”
“That works too.” Tan Yun smiled and then flew rapidly with Xianxian through the clouds above the mountain range…
While flying, Tan Yun noticed a hint of melancholy in Xianxian’s beautiful eyes and asked with concern, “You look worried; what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Xianxian replied.
“Just treat me as a friend; you can tell me.” Tan Yun smiled.
Xianxian softly said, “Tan Yun, if one day I die, will you miss me?”
Tan Yun frowned, “What are you talking about? Why would you say such things?”
Xianxian pouted and pressed, “Just tell me, will you miss me if I die?”
Tan Yun nodded, “Of course I would miss you; you are my friend.”
“But, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Tan Yun said firmly.
