After Shen Subing arrived at the main hall on the first floor of the tower, she, like the other women, was filled with heavy thoughts.
"Sister Shen, I feel that my husband really cares about Yunxi," Ji Yuyan said.
"Indeed, I've noticed that too," Shen Subing replied softly, her gaze drifting to the floor.
The atmosphere in the hall was thick with unspoken words and emotions. Each woman seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, reflecting on their relationships and the complexities that came with them.
"Do you think we should confront them?" Yuyan suggested, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't know if that's the best approach," Shen Subing said, her brow furrowing in contemplation. "It might only create more misunderstandings."
"Then what should we do?" asked another woman, her expression anxious.
Shen Subing took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts. "We need to be patient and observe. It's important to understand their feelings before taking any action."
Just then, the heavy wooden doors of the hall creaked open, drawing everyone's attention. A figure stepped inside, and the tension in the room heightened instantly.
It was Tan Yun, looking more serious than usual. "Ladies, we need to talk," he said, his voice steady but urgent.
"What is it?" Shen Subing asked, concern etched on her face.
Tan Yun glanced around the room, gauging the reactions of the women before he continued. "There's been a development regarding the teleportation array. We need to act quickly."
The women exchanged worried glances, the weight of the situation pressing down on them even more. Shen Subing felt her heart race, knowing that their lives were about to change once again.
"That's right," Shen Subing sighed and said, "Among all of us, including my husband’s parents, the one who has accompanied him the longest is Yunxi."
"Although I asked my husband, and he said he has no improper thoughts towards Yunxi, think about it, sisters. Yunxi has been with my husband for over two million years; even if my husband were a stone, he should be able to feel Yunxi's affection for him."
"Moreover, Yunxi is exceptionally talented and even more beautiful than some of us. It’s normal for feelings to develop over time as they have been together for so long."
"But Yunxi is a demon and the enemy of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race. How could my husband not feel heartbroken?"
…
While the women were discussing, in the cultivation room on the third floor, Tan Yun, in a daze, opened the envelope and looked at the crumpled letter and the lines of writing stamped onto it. Tan Yun knew that the reason the paper was wrinkled was that tears from Yunxi had fallen onto it while she was writing.
As he looked at the lines of text, the images of Yu Yunxi's expressions and the moments they shared flashed through Tan Yun’s mind.
The letter read:
"Gently, walk into my heart."
"Quietly, take root in my heart."
"Our meeting is predestined from our past lives."
"Though it hurts, I will savor all the happiness."
"Clearly, I cannot sever my feelings."
"I pretend that I have no feelings for you in my heart."
"Even when my tears run dry, I refuse to believe; even when my tears are gone, I become your enemy."
"If I have to choose, I would rather be a person; if I have to choose, I yearn for a true marriage."
"Dear, cherish yourself and don’t think of me."
Signed - Yu Yunxi.
After reading it, Tan Yun’s eyes were filled with tears. He rushed out of the cultivation room, transformed back into the appearance of the marquis of divine valor, Xiao Zhang, flew out over the sea, stood in mid-air, and shouted:
"Yunxi! Come back!"
"Yu Yunxi, come back to me!!"
Tan Yun anxiously released his divine consciousness to the utmost, covering the sky, but he couldn't find any trace of Yu Yunxi.
"Yunxi, don’t go! Come back to me!!"
"Yu Yunxi, come back! I don’t want you to leave!"
……
While Tan Yun continued to shout, in a distant part of the ocean, Yu Yunxi was rushing towards the Western Continent Divine Domain and didn’t hear Tan Yun’s desperate cries.
