Without waiting for Tan Yun to finish transmitting, Xuan Yuan Rou transmitted her voice, "I understand your concerns. But we must find a way to bridge that gap. It's essential for her to see the truth of the past and how things have changed."
Tan Yun nodded, feeling the weight of their situation. "I will do my best to help her understand. We cannot let the past define our future."
Xuan Yuan Rou replied softly, "Thank you, young master. Your support means everything to me."
The atmosphere around them grew tense, both aware of the challenges that lay ahead. They knew that confronting the feelings of hatred and betrayal would not be easy, but they were determined to face it together.
"I won't forgive you until I find my father!"
After transmitting, Xuan Yuan Rou withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at Tan Yun.
However, Tan Yun could tell from Xuan Yuan Rou's words and actions during this meeting that her hatred for him was no longer as intense as it was last time.
Tan Yun firmly believed that one day, when the misunderstandings were cleared, he would marry Xuan Yuan Rou and love her for a lifetime.
He would make up for the debts he owed her in the past, double-fold!
While Tan Yun was lost in thought, Celestial Master Lingxia and her husband, Chaos Celestial Master, sat in the second row with their pair of children.
Celestial Master Lingxia slowly stood up, elegant and dignified, her voice resonating, "The outerworldly heavenly demons are rampant, and the flames of war continue. Since ancient times, countless divine soldiers and generals have perished for our Primordial Chaos Divine Realm."
"Today is the birthday of my children. I take this opportunity to say to all the divine kings and great commanders present, thank you for bearing the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm."
Upon hearing this, hundreds of divine kings rose from their seats, turned to face Celestial Master Lingxia, and bowed deeply, saying, "It is our duty to relieve the worries of your excellency."
"In safeguarding the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, we would die without regrets!"
Celestial Master Lingxia nodded in satisfaction and raised her hand to signal everyone to take their seats. Then, the heavenly sound resonated, "Before we hold my children’s birthday celebration, I have four announcements to make."
Everyone listened attentively.
Celestial Master Lingxia continued, "First, I announce that today, the supreme divine king's second daughter will be betrothed to the young master of the Zhan family, Zhan Zusheng."
"Second, my children have once said that during their birthday celebration, they wish to challenge the divine soldiers and noble offspring brought by the divine kings."
"Whoever can emerge victorious may speak a wish, and I will help fulfill it, along with additional rewards."
"The third announcement is that if the victor can defeat my children, I will take them as my named disciple and cultivate them."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun and the others were puzzled. They had heard about these three matters last night; what could the fourth matter be?
As everyone was curious, Celestial Master Lingxia's next words fell like a heavy bomb into the crowd.
She glanced at her pristine and stunning daughter, Li Shiyin, then addressed the crowd, "If the ultimate victor is a man and can defeat Shiyin, she will consider marrying him."
"If Shiyin is unwilling, she will refuse."
"This means that the ultimate goal of this competition is to find a son-in-law. Only the most outstanding celestial god of the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm is worthy of my daughter."
Upon hearing this, all the noble sons and divine soldiers preparing to participate in the competition were filled with excitement!
Their fathers, the divine kings, transmitted to them to ensure they gave their all to win Li Shiyin's heart!
Only Tan Yun remained unperturbed! In his view, after defeating Li Shiyin, when he mentioned his nine wives and two fiancées, she would naturally not be interested in him!
