Ten chapters wish to please the one who cherishes them.
Shen Subing gazed eagerly, hoping her master would come soon to accompany her home and help treat her father.
Suddenly, a difficult-to-conceal joy appeared in her beautiful eyes, as Tan Yun, dressed in Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, descended from the sky riding the golden dragon spirit lion.
"Ahem." Tan Yun lightly coughed, his aged voice emerging from his lips, "By my calculations, you should have just returned."
"Hmph, I've been back for almost half a month now." Shen Subing stepped forward, linking her arm with Tan Yun's as they walked toward the Ice Clear Hall, playfully saying, "Master, later I have a surprise for you."
"Surprise?" Tan Yun asked curiously, "Alright, let's see what surprise my precious disciple has for me."
Upon entering the Ice Clear Hall, Shen Subing pushed Tan Yun into a chair. As usual, she came up behind him, extending her delicate fingers to massage his shoulders, "Master, before the surprise, I have to thank you properly."
"Oh? Thank me for what?" Tan Yun casually replied.
"Thank you, Master, for your observation of the heavenly phenomena, and for your foresight." Shen Subing said cheerfully, "Master, do you know? You were right back then; during this round of the alchemical arts grand competition of the three great ancient sects, my Danmai truly came out on top."
"Master, it's really unbelievable that Tan Yun is actually a saint level grand alchemist. He single-handedly turned the tide."
"Because of this, I have been personally appointed by the sovereign as the meritorious elder of the Immortal Sect Danmai."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun feigned surprise, then smiled, "Haha, then I must congratulate you. My disciple is indeed impressive."
"La la la." Shen Subing, being a mischievous girl, stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Of course! You should see whose disciple I am."
"Master, the sovereign said that after I lead the Inner Sect Danmai disciples to participate in the eternal land trial, I will be appointed to the Immortal Sect."
"I'm so happy." Shen Subing couldn't help but want to share her joy and emotions with Tan Yun, as if there were endless things to say: "Master, our Inner Sect's Elder Twelve, Lu Wu, has died. Maybe it was the heavens that favored us, allowing him to receive just punishment!"
"I don't even know who killed him, otherwise I would really like to thank the person who did it."
"Back when he poisoned the Revival Jade Grass that Chief Tang needed for alchemical refinement, if I had killed him at that time, his father would definitely have made things difficult for me."
"But now it's different. I am already the sovereign's personally appointed meritorious elder, even if his father tries to blame his death on me, he probably wouldn't dare to."
"Besides, Lu Wu died five days after I left the sect."
Suddenly, Shen Subing sighed, "Alas, Master, you don’t know, Tan Yun really makes me feel both love and hate."
"Disciple, what's wrong?" Tan Yun furrowed his brows and asked.
"Master, he truly is a monstrous talent. I have gained immensely because of him, but he really does stir up trouble." Shen Subing said angrily, "He just returned from the Eternal Immortal Sect and already crippled the son of the chief of the Inner Sect Beast Spirit Lineage."
"This disciple of his acts without considering the consequences. How can a beast spirit practitioner let it slide?"
Hearing this, Tan Yun chuckled, "From your tone, it seems you're concerned about him?"
"After all, he is a great contributor to my Danmai, so of course, I need to care about him." After saying this, Shen Subing paused, her fine hand on Tan Yun's shoulder, looking as if she wanted to say something more but hesitated.
"You were just talking non-stop; why have you suddenly gone silent?" Tan Yun said with a laugh.
With a waft of women's fragrance, Tan Yun noticed Shen Subing standing in front of him, looking shy and bashful, making her appear exceptionally charming.
"What's wrong? Just say what you have to say." Tan Yun encouraged.
