Just as Tang Xinying said, she is the current princess of the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty. How could she possibly lack Spirit Stones?
Perhaps she has the most Spirit Stones!
"Alright then..." Tan Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "I’ll accept the elixirs."
"Mm." Tang Xinying lightly nodded.
Tan Yun shook her head, "I still have some matters to handle, you can go ahead."
Tang Xinying frowned with concern, "Then you must be careful. Many people have their eyes on you; you're not safe in Fang City."
At that moment, she was still unaware of the battle Tan Yun had just fought.
"Mm, I will be careful." Tan Yun replied with concern, "You should be careful too; Gongsun Yangchun is not having good intentions towards you."
Suddenly, Tan Yun recalled something and asked, "Xinying, I heard that Lu Yi and Han Yong have died, and they were Gongsun Yangchun's disciples. Gongsun Yangchun didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"Alas!" Tang Xinying sighed heavily, "Gongsun Yangchun ordered me to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, he would strip me of my chief position. But in such a vast sea of people, where can I find the murderer?"
Tang Xinying suddenly sneered, "Don't say I can't find him; even if I could, I wouldn't expose the murderer. Instead, I would want to thank him!"
"That Lu Yi wanted me to step down long ago so he could take my place. His death is well-deserved!"
Hearing this, Tan Yun fell silent for a moment before saying, "Xinying, I know who the murderer is. I can tell you, and if one day Gongsun Yangchun tries to make a move against you, you can just reveal the murderer."
"You know who the murderer is?" Tang Xinying stared at Tan Yun intently.
Tan Yun shrugged, "Of course I know, the murderer is me!"
"What? It's you!" Tang Xinying found it hard to believe.
"It was indeed me who killed them. Oh, well, to be precise, it was me who, through a certain means, caused their deaths." After saying this, Tan Yun looked indifferent, "If Gongsun Yangchun makes things difficult for you, just reveal that it was me."
"That won't do!" Tang Xinying shook her head, "No way, I won't expose you no matter what."
Tan Yun's expression turned serious, "Xinying, listen to me..."
Before Tan Yun could finish, Tang Xinying decisively said, "Don't say anymore. I won't let you take the risk. Once Gongsun Yangchun knows it's you, how could he possibly let you go?"
"Tan Yun, you don't need to worry about me. As for the position of chief of the Immortal Sect Danmai, it's no big deal whether I have it or not."
Seeing Tang Xinying's resolute expression, Tan Yun felt quite touched.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Tan Yun smiled and then said, "Oh right Xinying, you've been in the Immortal Sect for a while; do you know whose left wrist is embroidered with this mark?"
As she spoke, a ray of spiritual power shot out from Tan Yun's fingertip, transforming into the shape of a golden sun in the low air.
"Tan Yun, I think I've seen it somewhere. Let me think." Tang Xinying closed her eyes, her brows furrowed, deep in thought as if trying hard to recall something...
Time passed second by second, and Tan Yun waited for a full half an hour.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
Sweat dripped from Tang Xinying's smooth forehead onto the ground.
Tan Yun couldn't bear it and said, "Xinying, if you can't think of it, just take your time. There's no rush."
"Tan Yun, don’t speak." Tang Xinying opened her delicate lips to remind Tan Yun before falling back into anxiety.
"This girl is a bit stubborn."
Tan Yun thought to herself as she took a seat on the jade chair...
During the next period, Tan Yun truly realized that Tang Xinying was not just a bit stubborn, but extremely stubborn!
Because two full hours passed, and she was still trying to recall something. The tension had soaked her black skirt with sweat.
The thin, soft skirt clung to her body, outlining her alluring figure, displayed vividly in front of Tan Yun.
Tan Yun couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times.
