Chapter 79: Heartache Induced by the Scene
At the same time, atop the Ice Clear Immortal Mountain.
The bright moonlight cascaded down on Shen Subing, and she slightly turned her head to look at Tan Yun. With a gentle opening of her lips, she said, “Master, after the last incident, I realized that death was actually around me.”
“Master, you once said that you are not from this world. Then where do you come from?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun gazed up at the starry sky, “Some things, I will slowly explain to you in the future. Now is not the time.”
“Understood, Master.” Shen Subing smiled, kneeling before Tan Yun, “Master, I just recovered from my illness and have yet to formally thank you.”
“Thank you for saving my life, Master!”
Tan Yun chuckled, “Get up. Today, I have a gift for you.”
“Yay!” Shen Subing’s beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Tan Yun flipped his right hand and handed her a Qiankun Ring.
After receiving it, Shen Subing immediately infused her spiritual sense into it. In an instant, she froze, “One hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones!”
One hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones equated to one hundred billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Thank you, Master! You truly understand me and know that I am poor.” Shen Subing exclaimed joyfully, bouncing like a youthful girl.
“Master, you are so good to me.” Shen Subing said sweetly.
“Fool, you are my only disciple, so I naturally treat you well.” Tan Yun’s expression turned solemn, “Do you wish to become my direct disciple?”
Shen Subing’s delicate body trembled, and she immediately knelt and bowed, “I am willing! Very willing!”
Excitement filled her heart; she felt overwhelmed by happiness. She never expected that after more than a year, she could leap from being a named disciple to a direct disciple!
“Master, please accept this disciple with three bows!” Accompanied by a heavenly sound, Shen Subing bowed three times to Tan Yun.
“Master has nothing else to give you.” Tan Yun pondered slightly, “I recall you mentioned your father had his cultivation level abolished and became a powerless person.”
“How about this: after Tang Xinying recovers and leaves, you take me back to your home so I can see your father’s injuries.”
“If all goes well, I should be able to help your father become a cultivator again.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Subing, who was kneeling, suddenly raised her head. Her delicate body shook violently with excitement. Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, “Master… is this true?”
“Of course.” Tan Yun spoke confidently, “No matter what injuries your father has, I have ways to help him cultivate again.”
“That’s wonderful… truly wonderful!” Shen Subing did not get up after bowing, “Thank you, Master!”
At this moment, Shen Subing's heart was filled with emotions. Aside from saying thank you, she truly did not know what else to say.
“You’ve just recovered, and it’s getting cold. Don’t kneel any longer.” As Tan Yun spoke, snowflakes began to drift down from the starry sky.
Soon, the snowflakes danced in the air, coating the moonlight and swallowing the stars.
“Master, it’s so beautiful!” After standing, Shen Subing extended her delicate hand to catch a snowflake. Then, looking at Tan Yun, her beautiful eyes revealed deep gratitude, “Master, I cannot repay your great kindness, so I would like to perform a dance for you.”
“Alright.” Tan Yun smiled.
Shen Subing gave a charming smile. Suddenly turning, a hint of shyness crossed her face as she looked at the Ice Clear Hall and called out, “Qingfeng.”
“Old Servant is here.” Shortly after, Shen Qingfeng stepped out of the hall, bowing, “Miss, what are your orders?”
“Do you remember the piece I had you accompany when I turned sixteen?” Shen Subing hinted.
“Oh… I remember. That ethereal immortal path piece was composed by you, Miss.” As he replied, the Qiankun Ring flashed, and a jade flute appeared in his hand, “Miss, can we begin now?”
