After taking a sip of spirit tea, Tan Yun informed Tang Xinying about the serious injuries sustained by Shen Subing and Shen Qingqiu.
"Tan Yun, is Su Bing injured?" Tang Xinying's eyes were filled with concern. "Have you found out who the enemy is?"
"Chief Tang, you don't have to worry. The meritorious chief should have recovered by now," Tan Yun replied calmly. "As for the person who harmed the meritorious chief, there are currently no leads."
"Her master instructed me to take good care of Su Bing, but back when she was in the Immortal Sect Danmai, I was incompetent and couldn't protect her, resulting in her being ostracized by the other elders."
Unbeknownst to Tang Xinying, the Tan Yun in front of her was the very person who saved her life!
"Chief Tang, you don't need to blame yourself," Tan Yun said sincerely, his expression apologetic. "During the grand alchemical arts competition back then, you were humiliated by Gongsun Yangchun because of me."
"Rest assured, one day I will repay you double for that humiliation!"
Tang Xinying smiled lightly, "Alright, let's not bring up those past matters again. Also, you are to be my future brother-in-law, so you can just call me by my name from now on. If you call me chief, it would seem a bit distant."
Tang Xinying was talking to Tan Yun as if they were just making small talk.
Tan Yun was not one to linger on formalities, and he readily replied, "Then I will call you Xinying from now on."
"Mm." Tang Xinying acknowledged while pondering how to probe Tan Yun about certain matters.
"Xinying, if you want to ask about the sixteen series of alchemical arts, I have something to attend to later and it won't be convenient for me to talk," Tan Yun said.
"Tan Yun, you misunderstood," Tang Xinying explained. "The sixteen series of alchemical arts has been lost since ancient times. Such a precious skill, how could I dare to pry into it?"
Tan Yun chuckled, flipping his hand to reveal a blank jade tablet. Then, amidst Tang Xinying's puzzled gaze, he closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense into the tablet.
Soon, Tan Yun retracted his spiritual sense, handed the tablet to Tang Xinying, and said calmly, "The sixteen series of alchemical arts is relatively simple. With your proficiency in alchemical arts, you will be able to learn it in due time."
"Besides the sixteen series of alchemical arts, there is also the thirty-two series of alchemical arts on this jade tablet. Although the thirty-two series of alchemical arts has been lost since ancient times, fortunately, my master had it, so I have written it down for you."
"In the future, if you have any questions about the thirty-two series of alchemical arts, feel free to come to me, and I will explain it to you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinying's graceful body trembled as if she had been stepped on the tail by a cat. She immediately stood up from the jade chair, looked at Tan Yun in shock, and tremblingly picked up the jade tablet from the table with her delicate and boneless jade hand, quickly releasing her spiritual sense into it.
Instantly, she was greeted by a sea of densely packed characters!
Hundreds of thousands of words were divided into two sections.
The first part boldly began with the five characters "Sixteen Series of Alchemical Arts!"
At the beginning of the second part was the phrase "Thirty-Two Series of Alchemical Arts!" consisting of six characters!
Tang Xinying excitedly held the jade tablet to her chest, her beautiful eyes filled with endless gratitude as she looked at Tan Yun!
She knew that possessing the sixteen and thirty-two series of alchemical arts meant that her proficiency in alchemical arts would reach unprecedented heights in the future!
"Tan Yun, thank you so much!" Tang Xinying said, pursing her red lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.
At this moment, no one could understand her feelings!
She was obsessed with alchemical arts; the sixteen and thirty-two series of alchemical arts were an irresistible temptation for her!
"You don't need to be polite," Tan Yun rose and smiled. "You are Shiyao’s sister, so we are like family. There’s no need to say thanks."
