"Don't criticize others when you yourself lost!" Li Shiyin retorted.
"That's not the point," Li Shimin sighed, shaking his head. "It's just that I believed you would win for sure. After all, your strength is quite remarkable."
Li Shiyin frowned, feeling a mix of frustration and disbelief. She had been so confident in her abilities, yet here she was, defeated by Tan Yun, who she had underestimated.
"But... how did he manage to turn the tide?" she wondered aloud, trying to piece together the events that led to her loss.
"Maybe he had a hidden power," Li Shimin suggested.
"Or perhaps he received help from someone," Li Shiyin replied, her eyes narrowing as she focused on Tan Yun, who was now surrounded by his supporters, looking calm and composed.
As she watched, she made a silent vow to herself: she would train harder and ensure that next time, she would not let her guard down.
Tan Yun sheathed his sword and clasped his fists, saying, "Miss, your strength is admirable, I only relied on luck."
Li Shiyin nodded slightly, flew down from the high platform, and landed dejectedly in front of Celestial Master Lingxia and Chaos Celestial Master, transmitting her voice, "Father, Mother, Jing Yun is really too lucky; I am truly not convinced!"
Celestial Master Lingxia looked at Li Shiyin with a doting gaze and transmitted her voice, "My precious daughter, you actually lost long ago."
"Your father and I saw it; Jing Yun has been holding back. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to harm him at all."
"As for the last stroke of luck, he pretended to win to preserve your dignity and also save face for your father and me."
Upon hearing this, Li Shiyin frowned, "Mother, is what you said true?"
"Of course," Celestial Master Lingxia transmitted, "This young man Jing Yun is quite impressive; you should consider him. If you like him, I will support you."
"No," Li Shiyin shook her head and transmitted.
"What's wrong? You don't like him?" Celestial Master Lingxia frowned, transmitting, "He is a third rank celestial god, invincible; if you don't marry such a man, what kind of man do you want?"
Li Shiyin bit her lip, a hint of shyness appearing on her stunningly beautiful face, and transmitted, "Mother, I want to talk to him alone after the banquet ends."
Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Lingxia immediately smiled and transmitted, "Alright, as you wish."
After laughing, Celestial Master Lingxia stood up and called to Tan Yun on the First Divine Altar, "Jing Yun, come here."
"Yes, Celestial Master Your Excellency." Tan Yun flew down from the Divine Altar and landed in front of Celestial Master Lingxia.
Celestial Master Lingxia looked at Tan Yun with approving eyes and said, "Jing Yun, would you like to take me as your master?"
"Reporting to Celestial Master Your Excellency, I am willing." Tan Yun appeared extremely excited.
Meanwhile, Bai Cheng Divine King on the seats was truly excited, his old body trembling violently!
In contrast, Supreme Divine King, Divine King Jiang Long, Zhan Peng, Ma Boshan, Gongsun Zhuanglie, and others wore forced smiles.
The scene they least wanted to see had still occurred!
"Then hurry up and kneel to pay your respects to your master," Celestial Master Lingxia said with a smile.
"Kneeling today is to repay the countless times you have knelt before me in the past! Rebellious disciple, I will deal with you sooner or later!" Tan Yun thought to himself as he knelt before Celestial Master Lingxia and bowed, "Disciple Jing Yun pays respects to Master!"
"Good, good, good, get up." Celestial Master Lingxia smiled and helped Tan Yun up, "Jing Yun, there are nine senior brothers and sisters; they are no longer in Primordial Chaos Divine City. I will introduce them to you when the opportunity arises."
"Thank you, Master." Tan Yun smiled happily.
"Jing Yun, I don't have any good gifts for you," Celestial Master Lingxia said, flipping her jade hand, revealing a Divine Sword, "This is an ancient attribute Divine Sword."
"It is a Supreme Celestial Master Divine Artifact. I give it to you, hoping that one day in the future, after your cultivation level increases, you can use this Divine Sword to eradicate the heavenly demons."
