Later, the celestial master Lingxia betrayed Tan Yun, but Jing Yan did not. As a result, the celestial master Lingxia requested the primordial supreme to take action and killed Jing Yan!
In other words, the culprit behind Jing Yan's death was the celestial master Lingxia!
At this moment, Tan Yun finally understood why the celestial master Lingxia made an exception to accept Bai Xuanyi as a disciple and deliberately reminded Tan Yun that if Bai Xuanyi killed Tan Yun, he should spare her life!
The reason must be that the celestial master Lingxia felt guilty about Jing Yan.
In the past, Jing Yan treated Lingxia like a sister, but Lingxia ended up causing Jing Yan's death!
Holding Bai Xuanyi in his arms, Tan Yun felt as if he were holding Jing Yan. Memories flooded back to him, and as he thought about how he and Shen Subing had raised Jing Yan, he unconsciously felt tears welling up in his starry eyes.
At this moment, Bai Xuanyi, who was tightly embraced by Tan Yun, widened her beautiful eyes and then let out a sharp scream, pushing Tan Yun away, "Indecent!"
"Ahem." Tan Yun said awkwardly, smiling as he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now."
Bai Xuanyi's cheeks turned red; this was the first time in her life that a man had embraced her.
Taking a deep breath, she calmed down and looked at Tan Yun in confusion, "Jing Yun, why were you so excited when you found out my ancestor is the high deity Jing Yan?"
Without hesitation, Tan Yun replied, "Because my ancestors were close friends with the high deity Jing Yan, so I became so excited when I saw you."
"Oh." Bai Xuanyi responded, seemingly recalling something, "Who is your ancestor? Forget it, I wouldn't know even if you told me."
Suddenly, Bai Xuanyi thought of something and frowned, "Do you know how my ancestor died?"
"You don't know the cause of your ancestor's death?" Tan Yun was taken aback.
"I don't know." Bai Xuanyi shook her head, "I only remember my parents telling me never to inquire about my ancestor's death, saying it was a family rule."
"However, I heard my adoptive father say that my ancestor was killed by the primeval supreme. But before my parents died, they told me the primeval supreme raised my ancestor; he is my forefather, and they also said..."
At this point, Bai Xuanyi suddenly realized she had spoken too much and hurriedly stopped.
Hearing this, Tan Yun's heart burned with anger, "Supreme divine king, you traitor, how dare you slander me like this!"
"I will make sure you have a terrible end one day!"
Suppressing his anger, Tan Yun pressed on, "The primeval supreme is also considered your forefather, what else?"
"There's... nothing else." Bai Xuanyi hurriedly waved her hands, "Jing Yun, you misunderstood, I never said the primeval supreme was my forefather; you must have heard wrong! Don't spread rumors!"
Looking at Bai Xuanyi's nervous expression, Tan Yun smiled, "I'm sure I didn't hear wrong. If you tell me what else there is, I won't spread it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuanyi's face turned pale, and then she coldly looked at Tan Yun, "If you have the ability, then go ahead and say it."
"As long as you say it, I will tell the Master about how your ancestor and my ancestor were close friends. Do you know that the Master despises people who were once close to my forefather? You will also be implicated!"
"And after the Master knows my identity, she not only didn't kill me, but also accepted me as her disciple. Even if she finds out that I consider the primeval supreme as my forefather, she may not kill me."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun quickly smiled and said, "Don't be agitated, I was just joking. You can rest assured, I will never tell anyone what you said today."
"That's more like it!" Bai Xuanyi's expression softened.
At this moment, Tan Yun looked at Bai Xuanyi with extra warmth, "Junior Sister, what is your real name?"
"Jingyi." Bai Xuanyi replied.
"That name sounds nice! Why are you called Bai Xuanyi instead? That's just awful!" Tan Yun casually remarked.
