“Ruo Xi…”
Tan Yun had just opened his mouth when Gongsun Ruoxi, with tears in her eyes, interrupted him, “Am I not beautiful?”
“Beautiful.” Tan Yun sighed.
“After knowing each other for so many years, you should be aware of my character!” Gongsun Ruoxi choked, “Is my character not good?”
“Good.” Tan Yun felt a sense of helplessness that he couldn’t explain.
“Then why don’t you like me… why…” Gongsun Ruoxi clenched her fragrant fist, repeatedly pounding Tan Yun’s chest, “I’ve loved you for over twenty years… wuwu…”
Tan Yun did not dodge or avoid her, and softly said, “You’re not acting normally today, what on earth happened to you?”
Gongsun Ruoxi ignored him. Suddenly, she stopped pounding Tan Yun and, on her tiptoes, kissed him on the lips!
By the time Tan Yun realized what had happened, Gongsun Ruoxi took a step back, turned her back to him, and in an instant, a crystal tear fell from her beautiful face. Without looking back, she soared into the sky from the summit, ready to leave!
“Gongsun Ruoxi! If you consider me a friend, tell me, what’s wrong with you?” Tan Yun’s voice contained a hint of reprimand.
Gongsun Ruoxi paused in her graceful figure, suddenly turning back to look down at Tan Yun on the summit. She slightly parted her lips, but instead of answering him, she coldly asked, “If you consider me a friend, then tell me, have you ever had even the slightest feeling for me?”
After a long silence, Tan Yun nodded and said, “I have.”
Gongsun Ruoxi suddenly broke into a smile through her tears, as she looked down at Tan Yun with deep affection, “Remember, in this life, I, Gongsun Ruoxi, will only marry you!”
“I will always love you, and if in the future you don’t marry me, then I will live alone for the rest of my life!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gongsun Ruoxi transformed into a beam of light and disappeared. Shortly after, she appeared above the vast Sea of Clouds, next to Murong Shishi and Zhong Wu Shiyao.
“Ruoxi, have you handled everything?” Murong Shishi asked.
“Mm.” Gongsun Ruoxi nodded slightly.
“Alas!” Murong Shishi sighed, then looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao, “Shiyao, are you really not going to reconsider?”
“Master, I won’t reconsider. I want to stay by Tan Yun’s side.” Zhong Wu Shiyao said firmly.
“Alright then, in that case, Ruoxi and I will leave the sect shortly. We’ll meet again someday.” Murong Shishi added, “You won’t tell Tan Yun what I said today, right?”
“Master, I’ll keep it a secret.” Zhong Wu Shiyao replied.
“Mm, take care of yourself. I’m leaving.” Murong Shishi smiled slightly, summoned a Spirit Vessel from her Qiankun Ring, and swiftly boarded it.
“Junior Sister, take care of yourself.” Gongsun Ruoxi hugged Zhong Wu Shiyao tightly, her gaze reluctant.
“Senior Sister, you too.” After embracing for a moment, Gongsun Ruoxi flew up onto the Spirit Vessel.
Murong Shishi maneuvered the Spirit Vessel, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye…
Thinking about her Master and Senior Sister leaving, Zhong Wu Shiyao hid her sadness well. She then dove down and landed on the Heavenly Palace Square just as Tan Yun was descending from the void.
“Shiyao, why is Ruoxi crying?” Tan Yun frowned.
Zhong Wu Shiyao set up a soundproof barrier and told Tan Yun about Gongsun Ruoxi’s situation.
“That beast Gongsun Yangchun!” Tan Yun cursed fiercely, then asked, “Where is Ruoxi?”
“She left first with Master to handle something.” Zhong Wu Shiyao replied.
Tan Yun did not think much of it and walked towards Dantai Xuanzhong and Dantai Yu, who were waiting for him.
“Hehe, greetings, young sovereign.” At that moment, a tinkling female voice rang out. It was Zhongli Yuxin in a long green skirt, blocking Tan Yun’s path.
“Yuxin, you haven’t left yet!” Tan Yun smiled.
“I’m waiting for you! Your status is different now, how could I dare to disturb you casually?” Zhongli Yuxin said with a pretentious look of grievance.
