Against The Sky Supreme

Chapter 17: Tan Yun's Emotion

"Tan Yun!" Suddenly, a delightful and melodious female voice rang out from the bustling crowd.

Tan Yun looked in the direction of the sound, and along with a refreshing fragrance of a maiden, a red figure leaped into his arms.

Mu Mengyi pounded her small fists on Tan Yun's chest, sobbing, "Where have you been these days? Do you know how worried I was about you!"

At this moment, the disciples on the street were utterly petrified, watching the scene of the girl in the red dress embracing Tan Yun.

After a brief silence, a wave of incredulous exclamations surged, drowning out the cries of the girl in the red dress!

"Oh my God, am I seeing things? Is she Mu Shijie?"

"You're not mistaken! She is indeed Senior Sister Mu Mengyi!"

"This... how is this possible... The exalted Mu Shijie actually took the initiative to throw herself into his arms!"

"Yeah, it's unbelievable!"

"By the way, do you know who that guy is?"

"I don't know, I've never seen him before!"

"I tell you all, I know who he is! He is the new disciple who just joined the sect twenty-five days ago! At that time, I didn't know Mu Shijie was injured, but he carried her back to her room..."

"Damn! This Tan Yun is really not afraid of death! Mu Shijie is the woman recognized by Senior Brother Murong, yet he dares to touch her!"

"Isn't it?! Plus, this kid is just at the eighth layer of spirit embryo realm, and he's not that good-looking. How could Mu Shijie fall for him?!"

A commotion erupted in the crowd, with everyone exclaiming in disbelief!

"Everyone, quiet down!" Stepping out from the crowd was Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi's good sister. She glared at everyone, "Mu Shijie and Tan Shidi are just friends. If you dare to gossip again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Xue Ziyan ranked 128th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, and at her reprimand, everyone fell silent like startled birds, hurrying in groups toward the center of the pavilions to prepare for the teachings of the elder of the outer sect!

"Mu Shijie, I’m back safe and sound, so stop crying." Tan Yun gently patted Mu Mengyi's shoulder and chuckled, "If you keep crying, you'll turn into a raccoon, which won't look good."

"I'm not crying! Look at you, injured like this and still smiling," Mu Mengyi said while stepping away from Tan Yun's embrace. She gazed at his pale face and the wounds on his arms, her tear-filled beautiful eyes revealing an uncontainable killing intent. "Who hurt you like this? Was it Murong Kun?"

"It wasn't him; it was Linghu Changkong's people." Tan Yun's eyes flashed with cold light!

"What happened?"

"This is a long story; let's talk as we walk."

On their way to the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Tan Yun recounted to Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan how he had slain Wei Qi, who attempted to kill him for treasure, how he had crippled the sixteen people instructed by Murong Kun to capture him, and how Linghu Changkong had sent Ye Tian and thirty-three others to hunt him.

As for his life-and-death battle with Ye Tian, Tan Yun chose not to mention it to avoid worrying Mu Mengyi.

Moreover, he didn't bring up what had happened with Zhong Wu Shiyao; he believed that knowing her was a mistake, and he didn't want to mention her again!

After hearing everything, Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan were filled with shock, their eyes revealing a deep hatred for Linghu Changkong and Murong Kun!

They first couldn't believe that Tan Yun had advanced to the eighth layer of spirit embryo realm in such a short time!

Even more unbelievable was the terrifying strength Tan Yun displayed in challenging someone of a higher realm! Ye Tian was not an ordinary disciple at great perfection of spirit embryo realm; he was a powerful figure ranked 98th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings!

The two girls never expected that Tan Yun could escape from Ye Tian!

Mu Mengyi worried for Tan Yun, especially now that he had a powerful enemy like Linghu Changkong!

As they walked, Tan Yun noticed Mu Mengyi looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
