After Dao Qing Grandmaster took his seat, Yu Yunxi did not sit down but bowed towards the Western Continent Emperor and said, "Father Emperor, as long as I..."
"Of course." The Western Continent Emperor asked curiously, "Xi'er, could it be that someone else wants to participate?"
"Yes, father emperor." After Yu Yunxi spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Tan Yun, who was standing in mid-air, and gave him a signal.
"Mm." After Tan Yun responded, he knelt in mid-air towards the Western Continent Emperor and said, "Replying to the emperor, this humble servant Xiao Zhang also wants to participate."
These words caused an uproar in the crowd:
"What? Did I hear wrong? A mere guard who isn't even a gold-armored guard wants to lay his hands on the seventh princess? He must be out of his mind!"
"That's right! It's one thing for him to be a lowly guard, but he's just an ant at the first layer of ancestral sage realm!"
"Haha, this white-haired ant, is he a clown invited by a monkey?"
"In my opinion, this kid is just brave enough to stir up trouble!"
"…"
Amid the voices of the crowd, Xin Bingshuan, hidden behind her veil, suddenly turned pale, her heart aching like a knife. Tears of grievance filled her beautiful eyes.
She never expected that her greatest fear would still happen.
She was in pain, tears shimmering as they fell.
Seeing Xin Bingshuan's heartbreaking appearance, Miao Qingqing trembled in anger, "Back then, when you thought he was dead, you were so heartbroken that you spat out blood, and he treats you like this!"
"I’ll make that bastard pay!"
Furious, Miao Qingqing was about to take off when she was pulled back by Xin Bingshuan, who said tearfully through voice transmission, "Don’t disturb him; after all, my feelings for him are unrequited."
"Through this incident, I can see him clearly. He has his choices, and I have my dignity."
"I don't care how many wives he has; he still treats me like this. I've decided to let go."
As she transmitted this, Xin Bingshuan smiled through her tears, "You stay and tell him about his wives. I’m tired and want to go back."
"I'll tell him right now, then we can go back together." Miao Qingqing transmitted.
"Don't." Xin Bingshuan's tears fell as she transmitted, "If you tell him, he will know I'm here, and that will only make me more embarrassed."
"You stay. I’m very tired; I want to be alone."
Suddenly, Miao Qingqing thought of something and transmitted, "Okay, then Ninth Junior Sister, you go back to the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace first."
"Mm." Xin Bingshuan wiped her tears away and turned into a beam of light, flying away from the Heavenly Sky Dojo. At that moment, she felt immense pain!
At that moment, her heart shattered!
As she traversed the empty air above the Western Continent Ancestral City, Xin Bingshuan cried out in her heart, "Why... why is this happening..."
"Tan Yun, I've given you a letter; you know I have feelings for you. Why are you still doing this?"
"Why..."
……
In the Heavenly Sky Dojo, at the top of the Divine Pavilion, the Western Continent Emperor stared at Tan Yun, his inner anger boiling, yet his face showed no signs.
"You little brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and depths of earth, you are just my precious daughter's guard, yet you want to lay your hands on my beloved daughter." The Western Continent Emperor sneered inwardly, "Well, you are only at the first layer of ancestral sage realm; if you want to participate and seek death, then I will grant you that!"
Thinking this, the Western Continent Emperor frowned, assuming a benevolent demeanor. "Xiao Zhang, rise and speak. I remember you are Xi'er’s personal guard, am I right?"
"Yes, emperor." Tan Yun replied respectfully.
The Western Continent Emperor said, "Do you know that the fifty million people who signed up for the challenge for marriage are all talents at the daoist realm from various cities?"
"I know." Tan Yun replied.
"Then you still want to participate?" The Western Continent Emperor looked at Tan Yun, "You must know that casualties are inevitable in the challenge for marriage, aren't you afraid of death?"
