Tan Yun wrinkled his nose and smiled brightly, “The palace master has granted me a Fang Sheng Hall. In the outside world, it’s just one day, but I can cultivate for a thousand years inside.”
Xin Bingshuan’s eyes widened in surprise, “A thousand years? That’s incredible! You’ll have a lot of time to improve your skills. What are you planning to do with this opportunity?”
Tan Yun nodded, his expression serious, “I intend to focus on mastering the Four Arts. This is my chance to gain insights and enhance my abilities significantly.”
“Indeed, mastering the Four Arts is essential,” Bingshuan said thoughtfully. “With the right dedication, the improvements you can make in a thousand years will be unimaginable.”
Tan Yun’s heart surged with excitement. “I want to make my husband proud and find a way to protect our people, the Human Race. I can’t let them down.”
“Your determination is admirable,” Bingshuan encouraged. “I believe you can achieve your goals. Just remember to take care of yourself during your cultivation.”
“Thank you, Bingshuan. I will,” Tan Yun replied confidently. “With your support, I feel even more motivated.”
With that, they began to discuss specific techniques and strategies for their cultivation, each sharing their insights and thoughts on the Four Arts, forging a path toward their future.
Before Tan Yun could finish, shock flickered in Xin Bingshuan’s beautiful eyes, “What? The palace master gave you the Fang Sheng Hall?”
“Yeah!” Tan Yun replied, puzzled, “Why are you so shocked?”
“Whoosh!” Xin Bingshuan landed in front of Tan Yun, saying, “Tan Yun, do you know the origins of Fang Sheng Hall?”
“No, I don’t,” Tan Yun admitted, confused.
“If you knew, you wouldn’t be this calm,” Xin Bingshuan explained, “It is rumored that Fang Sheng Hall was a relic left to the palace master by her father when she was young!”
“And the fact that the palace master bestowed it upon you shows how much she values you.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun was stunned. He hadn’t expected Fang Zixi to treat him so well.
Looking at the dazed Tan Yun, Xin Bingshuan continued, “But I can understand it; after all, you are the most talented disciple since the establishment of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace. It makes sense that the palace master treats you this way.”
“Tan Yun, what did you want to say about Fang Sheng Hall earlier?”
Tan Yun kindly suggested, “If you don’t mind, why not stay here and enter Fang Sheng Hall to cultivate?”
“One day outside equates to two thousand years inside; it would be much more efficient for you.”
Upon hearing this, under the radiant moonlight, one could faintly see Xin Bingshuan’s rosy cheeks beneath her purple veil.
“Thump, thump—”
Xin Bingshuan thought that if she agreed, it would mean living together with Tan Yun in the future, causing her heart to race. Although she didn’t mind, she still hesitated.
“Ahem.” Tan Yun cleared his throat, “Right, I didn’t consider it thoroughly; after all, men and women should maintain a proper distance. If word gets out, it wouldn’t do your reputation any good.”
“Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything…”
Before Tan Yun could finish, Xin Bingshuan’s melodious voice rang out, “Those who are pure attract purity; I am willing to cultivate in your Fang Sheng Hall.”
“Good.” Tan Yun smiled. In his heart, he realized that he had offended quite a few people in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, and having Xin Bingshuan by his side would provide him with more security, right?
Moreover, even though Xin Bingshuan was always veiled in purple, her beautiful figure alone was breathtaking. Seeing her occasionally would still be a delightful sight, wouldn’t it?
Of course, Tan Yun viewed Xin Bingshuan purely from an aesthetic standpoint and harbored no improper thoughts.
Suddenly, he remembered something and smiled, “Oh right, Senior Sister, during the four arts contest, you said that as long as I win, you would agree to any request, right?”
