At this moment, Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement. “Now is the time to cultivate the primordial chaos dominance body!”
“Once I finish cultivating the seventeenth-grade time dominance body, I will push to break into the great emperor realm. As long as I step into the first stage of the great emperor realm, I will truly enter the ranks of powerful individuals in the nine heavens immortal realm!”
Following this, Tan Yun thought of Feng Qingcheng and transmitted his voice to her, who was in seclusion at the first stage of the great emperor realm, “Little Qingcheng, I miss you. Do you miss me?”
Feng Qingcheng, who was in seclusion, suddenly blushed fiercely. She bit her soft lips and shyly transmitted back, “Don’t call me that; it’s really cringy!”
Tan Yun chuckled softly and withdrew his immortal sense, pondering, “I wonder how Xianxian is doing.”
Thinking back to the past moments he shared with Xianxian, Tan Yun suddenly felt a pang of longing. He then released his immortal sense and entered the palace where she was cultivating.
Tan Yun furrowed his brow and discovered that Xianxian was no longer in the palace!
There were only two letters left!
“Hmm? Did Xianxian leave without saying goodbye?” Tan Yun frowned, vanishing from his spot and appearing in Xianxian's palace in the next moment.
With a wave of his hand, the two letters that were resting on the table floated up and landed in his grasp.
He saw that the letters were addressed, one saying “To Tan Yun” and the other “To Zhen Ji.”
“Zhen Ji, come here for a moment,” Tan Yun called out.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
In the next instant, Zhen Ji and the other six wives who heard Tan Yun’s voice appeared before him.
Soon after, Su Zhen, Shen Subing, Feng Qingcheng, Shishi, and Song Huixin also arrived.
“What’s wrong, brother?” Zhen Ji asked softly.
Tan Yun felt a bit down but maintained his composure, saying, “Xianxian left without a word and left us each a letter.”
Zhen Ji looked puzzled, “If she left, she could have just told us. Why did she choose this way to inform us?”
“And why did she write me a letter?”
Filled with questions, Zhen Ji opened the letter, finding it filled with neat handwriting:
“Sister Zhen, I’m so sorry. I’m saying goodbye like this.”
“Do you know? Over the years, I wanted countless times to call you sister in my true identity, just like before, but I didn’t have the courage. I’m afraid you wouldn’t believe my explanation after knowing my identity, especially since I currently have no evidence to prove it.”
“Sister Zhen, I’m sorry for deceiving you all these years with a false identity. My name isn't Xianxian; my real name is Ouyang Qianqian, your good sister from the past, but now I am seen as your enemy.”
“Sister Zhen, whether you believe it or not, I pledge with my life that my father absolutely did not harm Uncle Zhen and Aunt Zhen.”
“My father is innocent; he truly is!”
Upon reading this, Zhen Ji sighed deeply, completely not expecting that Xianxian was actually Ouyang Qianqian!
Hate?
No hate?
At this moment, Zhen Ji’s heart was in turmoil, and her subconscious still hoped that Ouyang Duantian hadn’t harmed her adoptive parents!
While Zhen Ji was feeling confused, Tan Yun also opened his letter.
“Brother-in-law, what did Xianxian write you? It wouldn’t be a love letter, would it?” Xue Ziyan teased, “Let me see too.”
“Ziyan, stop joking.” Tang Mengyi shot a glare at Xue Ziyan, “This is a letter from a girl to her husband; how can you shamelessly look at it?”
“Oh.” Xue Ziyan responded, “Then I won’t look.”
After Tan Yun opened the letter, he noticed that the paper was stained with dried tear marks. With his keen observation, he could tell that Xianxian must have been crying while writing it.
Sighing, Tan Yun read:
“Tan Yun, I’m sorry. From the very beginning, I deceived you; I am not an orphan. I have a loving father, he is Ouyang Duantian, the City Lord of Skyreach Immortal City.”
