Against The Sky Supreme

“Tan Yun, as your princess's personal attendant, you shouldn’t say such things lightly.”

Tan Yun chuckled, “Why not? It’s just a playful promise, isn’t it? Besides, I wouldn’t mind being your husband.”

Yu Yunxi felt her cheeks flush, and she quickly changed the topic, “Enough of that! We have more important matters to discuss.”

“Sure, what’s on your mind?” Tan Yun asked, his expression growing serious.

“We need to prepare for the upcoming event at the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace. It’s crucial for our cultivation level,” she replied, her tone shifting to a more focused demeanor.

“Right, the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace. It will be a great opportunity for us to showcase our skills and gain recognition,” Tan Yun nodded, understanding the importance of the situation.

As they discussed their plans, the atmosphere grew intense with anticipation. Both knew that their efforts would determine their future paths in the Four Arts Star Domain.

“Let’s do our best!” Tan Yun said, determination evident in his voice.

“Agreed!” Yu Yunxi responded, her resolve strengthening as they prepared for the challenges ahead.

Soon, under the night sky, Yu Yunxi chased after Tan Yun, who pretended to run away in the back garden of the residence…

One hour later.

The moon was hazy, and the stars were dim.

In the Western Continent Ancestral City, at the Four Towns Bazaar.

Two young boys walked side by side through the bustling and vibrant bazaar, laughing and chatting happily. “Ninth Junior Brother, the bazaar in the Western Continent Ancestral City is much more prosperous than the one in our Fang City.”

The other boy, dressed in a red robe with his face covered, chuckled, “Eighth Senior Brother is right.”

The two were Miao Qingqing, the Eighth Disciple of Dao Kun, and Xin Bingshuan, the Ninth Disciple, both of whom were saintesses from the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace in the Four Arts Star Domain.

Disguised as boys, they were sent by Dao Kun to deliver a message to Tan Yun.

The reason for sending Xin Bingshuan was that Dao Kun noticed she often daydreamed alone, and he knew she was infatuated with Tan Yun, so he sent her.

As for the carefree Miao Qingqing, she simply followed for fun.

The two girls were able to enter the city because they held the token given to Dao Kun by Dao Qing Grandmaster thirty years ago.

“Eighth Senior Brother, let’s not dawdle anymore, let’s hurry to the Imperial Palace to find the Seventh Princess,” Xin Bingshuan said, her eyes glimmering with longing.

Having not seen Tan Yun for many years, Xin Bingshuan felt that a day apart was like three autumns.

“No, no.” Miao Qingqing, while pretending to be a boy, acted spoiled, causing those nearby to feel uncomfortable.

“Others are watching you, don’t forget you’re currently a man,” Xin Bingshuan communicated telepathically.

“Oh, you’re right,” Miao Qingqing replied through their shared thoughts. “Ninth Junior Sister, I know you can’t wait to see your little lover, but one night won’t make a difference!”

“Look how beautiful it is here, I want to stroll around tonight and we can find your little lover early tomorrow morning, how about that?”

With a rosy blush, Xin Bingshuan replied telepathically, “What little lover? If you keep this up, I won’t pay you any attention.”

“Alright, alright, I won’t mention it again,” Miao Qingqing communicated back. “Ninth Junior Sister, just agree with me, okay?”

“Fine,” Xin Bingshuan reluctantly replied.

Then, the two girls in disguise began to wander around.

Suddenly, a burst of conversations caught their attention:

“Tomorrow at the Chen hour, the Seventh Princess’s challenge for marriage will officially begin. Who do you think will win the championship and receive the emperor’s blessing?”

“I say, the Grand Marshal of East Town, Qi Kong, has the best chance to become the emperor’s son-in-law.”

“No, no, I disagree. While I admit that Young Master Qi is nearly invincible in the daoist realm, the young masters from the South Town, North Town, and West Town Grand Marshals are also extraordinary talents!”
