Chapter 280: Enemies Meet, Extra Red-Eyed
“Not at all, Master will be back in no more than five days.”
After Tan Yun finished speaking, he reached into his chest and touched the golden dragon spirit lion hidden within.
The golden dragon spirit lion quietly emerged from Tan Yun's clothing, shrinking to the size of a cat. It spread its wings and appeared before Tan Yun.
Covered by the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, Shen Subing naturally couldn't see the golden dragon spirit lion.
“Okay, you have to keep your word!” Shen Subing playfully stuck out her tongue. Only in front of Tan Yun would she show such a side of herself.
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the golden dragon spirit lion swiftly followed closely behind him, spreading its golden wings beneath Tan Yun's feet.
Under Tan Yun's guidance, the golden dragon spirit lion carried him and rapidly disappeared into the snow-laden skies above the summit.
Shen Subing looked at Tan Yun's departing figure with complex emotions, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
She found herself a bit lost in thought.
“Miss?” It wasn't until Shen Qingfeng called out to her that she snapped back to reality.
“Ah... were you calling me?”
“Yes, miss.” Shen Qingfeng said kindly, “Miss, Old Servant wants to say something, but I'm unsure if I should.”
“Feel free to say it.” Shen Subing's mood was quite good.
“Miss, Old Servant feels that your gaze towards your master seems a bit different.” Shen Qingfeng chuckled, “Miss, you wouldn't have developed feelings for your master, would you?”
“No, no.” A hint of panic crossed Shen Subing's beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. “He is my master; how could I possibly like him? I only admire him!”
“Is that so, Miss?” Shen Qingfeng teased, “Do you remember? When you composed the ethereal immortal path, you said that this dance would only be performed for the man you truly care for in the future!”
“Is that so? Did I say that?” Under the night sky, Shen Subing's face flushed, and then she explained, “Qingfeng, to be honest, the reason I danced was that my master promised me he would take me home in the future; he wants to personally treat my father's illness.”
“And my master said he would definitely help my father restore his cultivation!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingfeng's eyes widened, and his old body trembled with excitement. “That's great! If the family head can regain his previous strength, why would our Shen family need to stay in that tiny place?”
“Mm, exactly!” Shen Subing nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with expectation. “If my father can really stand up again, how wonderful would that be…”
As the snow fell heavier and the night grew darker,
An hour later, a shadow descended from the sky and appeared at the summit of Pang Dao Immortal Mountain, walking steadily toward Pang Shiyuan's cave dwelling.
He walked steadily and slowly, as if it were his own immortal mountain.
This person could only be Tan Yun.
“Is Elder Three here?” A hoarse voice emerged from Tan Yun's mouth, but no one responded from within the cave dwelling.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Tan Yun extended his right hand, revealing the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil. His fingers twitched, and strands of spiritual power traced mysterious paths across the night sky. The moment they shot into the cave dwelling, the space at the entrance vibrated as if a layer of water curtain flashed and disappeared.
Tan Yun effortlessly broke the restrictions of the cave dwelling and stepped in without leaving a trace in the snow.
The cave dwelling was empty, and Tan Yun casually took a seat as if it were his own cave dwelling.
At the same time, at Lu Dao Immortal Mountain.
“Brother Lu, it’s getting late; I’ll head back first.” Pang Shiyuan cupped his hands.
“Mm, I’ll see you out.” Lu Wu escorted Pang Shiyuan out of the cave dwelling, his gaze darkening. “Regarding Shen Subing, we need to make long-term plans. Dear brother Pang, take care. I’m going to the Immortal Sect right now to ask my father what exactly happened. How could Shen Subing still be alive and returned to the Inner Sect?”
