Upon hearing this, Tan Yun was about to respond when suddenly, an angry woman's voice descended from the sky, "Qinger, you have really disappointed your master!"
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the soundproof barrier shattered invisibly, and Zhuge Yu shot down from the air, grabbing Nangong Yuqin.
Zhuge Yu had just seen that Nangong Yuqin was late to the VIP Palace. After asking elder three, she discovered that Nangong Yuqin had inquired about Tan Yun's residence.
Zhuge Yu initially thought that Nangong Yuqin would seek revenge on Tan Yun. She was worried that Nangong Yuqin would face retaliation from Dantai Xuanzhong, which is why she rushed over!
However, she never expected that upon arriving, she would overhear Nangong Yuqin say, "I don’t want to think about the grievances between us anymore. I just want to ask you one question: Do you... like me?"
One must ask, after Tan Yun had twice participated in the eternal land trial and killed more than five thousand disciples of the divine soul celestial palace, how could she not be furious!
"Master..." Nangong Yuqin tried to speak, but Zhuge Yu interrupted, "No need to say anything. The more you say, the more I will tell your father emperor and mother empress about today's matter! At that time, just wait and see if Tan Yun lives or dies! No one can protect him!"
"Master, okay, okay, I won’t say anything! Please, just don’t tell my father emperor and mother empress!" Nangong Yuqin's face turned pale!
Zhuge Yu held onto Nangong Yuqin tightly, her fiery eyes glaring at Tan Yun, her low voice filled with endless coldness, "What do you think you are? How dare you lay a hand on Qinger!"
"You lowly bastard, if you dare to lay your eyes on my Qinger again, I guarantee you will die soon!"
"Remember well, Qinger is not someone you can touch. Give up on that thought!"
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Dantai Xuanzhong appeared out of thin air behind Tan Yun. He squinted at Zhuge Yu, then turned to Tan Yun, "What happened?"
"Sovereign, it's nothing," Tan Yun replied respectfully, then turned to Zhuge Yu and said word by word, "I will only say this once, remember clearly! The humiliation you have given me today, I will make you pay for it with your life in the future!"
"Naive! You should first focus on surviving the trial qualification competition!" Zhuge Yu said, pulling Nangong Yuqin, who was about to speak, into the air and disappearing into the night sky.
Tan Yun clenched his fists, looking up at the disappearing figure of Nangong Yuqin. He firmly whispered to himself, "Nangong Yuqin, I know that there are no feelings without reason, and there must be secrets between us that we ourselves do not know. I do not like you; my feelings for you are... love!"
"Zhuge Yu, if you dare to block me and Yuqin, I will make you pay an unimaginable price!"
As Tan Yun was lost in thought, Shen Subing and Shen Suzhen landed beside him.
Then, Huangfu Yu, Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shi Yao, Xue Ziyan, and Nangong Ruxue soared through the air, their swords withdrawing after passing over the lakeside, looking confusedly at Tan Yun.
"Brother-in-law, what happened?" Xue Ziyan asked.
"Tan Yun, what just happened between you and my sister?" Nangong Ruxue urged.
Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shi Yao, Shen Subing, and Shen Suzhen also looked at Tan Yun in confusion.
Tan Yun gazed at everyone and explained, "Just now, Nangong Yuqin told me about the strength of the disciples from the eternal immortal sect and divine soul celestial palace who are participating in the qualification competition. That’s why Zhuge Yu got so angry."
Nangong Yuqin lightly frowned, questioning, "Why didn’t you tell me, sister? Instead, you told him?"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Xue Ziyan said boldly, looking at Nangong Ruxue. "Because my brother-in-law spared your sister's life during the eternal land trial; maybe your sister feels grateful!"
"Oh..." Nangong Ruxue responded, and it made sense then.
Shen Subing, worried, asked, "Tan Yun, what is the strength of the six disciples from the divine soul celestial palace and eternal immortal sect participating in the competition?"
