In the following three days, the Tan Residence hosted a grand feast.
The news of Tan Yun returning home to visit his family spread throughout Wangyue Town. Hundreds of heads of families came uninvited, bringing generous gifts to see Tan Yun, each affectionately calling him “nephew.”
Some even considered marrying off their unmarried daughters to Tan Yun, but when they learned that Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao, two stunning beauties, were destined to be future daughters-in-law of the Tan family, they all abandoned the thought.
In their eyes, Tan Yun would surely not take a liking to their daughters.
Little did they know, Tan Yun was not a frivolous person. Even if their daughters were incredibly beautiful, Tan Yun would not be easily swayed, if at all.
The women who could capture his heart would need to have shared experiences with him, be kind-hearted, and exhibit good character.
Tan Yun would never choose a partner solely based on looks.
During these three days, Tan Yun gave all kinds of elixirs and magic treasures he purchased from the Huangfu Sacred Sect's Inner Sect Market City, which were suitable for those in the spirit胎 realm and fetal soul realm, to Feng Jingru.
Feng Jingru, Tan Feng, and Old Master Tan were all incredibly pleased. With these elixirs, stepping into the fetal soul realm and prolonging their lives was just around the corner.
Moreover, with so many elixirs available, the Tan family’s guards could use them to enhance their strength.
Of course, Tan Yun also took out three supreme youth-retaining sub-respect elixirs and gave one each to his parents and grandfather.
After taking the elixir, Feng Jingru’s white strands of hair vanished, and the wrinkles on her face quietly disappeared, transforming her from a woman in her forties to one who appeared to be in her thirties.
Tan Feng, after taking his elixir, changed from a man in his fifties to a middle-aged man, and both he and Feng Jingru looked about ten years younger.
Old Master Tan, Tan Changchun, happily consumed the supreme youth-retaining sub-respect elixir, turning from a ninety-year-old elder into a sixty-year-old elder.
The family enjoyed a harmonious moment together.
However, the time for separation had arrived.
The bright moonlight cast down on the Tan Residence, and the mansion was brightly lit.
Feng Jingru, Tan Feng, Tan Changchun, and all the maids and servants of the Tan Residence came to see Tan Yun off.
A loving mother stitches clothes for her wandering child.
As she sews tightly, she fears he may return late.
With tears of reluctance in her eyes, Feng Jingru placed several sets of clothing into Tan Yun’s hands, reminding him, “Take care of yourself, and don’t make your mother worry.”
“Thud!”
Tan Yun knelt down, nodding solemnly. “Mother, Father, Grandfather, you can rest assured. I will take good care of myself.”
“Mm.” Feng Jingru helped Tan Yun up and cautioned, “Don’t let Shiyao and Mengyi suffer alongside you. They are good girls who follow you, which is a blessing for you. Don’t fool around outside, remember?”
“I will remember!” Tan Yun responded earnestly.
“That’s more like it.” Feng Jingru smiled and looked at Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, her eyes filled with hope as she said, “You’re leaving soon; can you call me ‘Mother’?”
Mu Mengyi gently nodded, feeling shy as she said, “Mother, please take care of yourself, and don’t worry. We will come back to visit you.”
Zhong Wu Shiyao pursed her lips and sweetly said, “Mother, don’t worry. My sister and I will take good care of Tan Yun.”
“Good, good, good.” Feng Jingru was overjoyed as she pulled the two girls close, saying, “If Tan Yun dares to mistreat you, you must tell me. I’ll support you; I’ll break his legs if it comes to that!”
The two girls nodded happily.
“Father, Mother, Grandfather, we’re leaving.” After bowing, Tan Yun clasped his fists and looked at the Tan family guards, saying each word with conviction, “Protect the Tan Residence well. In the future, I will not treat you all unfairly.”
