Seeing Zhong Wu Shiyao's anxious expression, Tan Yun had previously considered not telling her to avoid causing worry.
However, after thinking it over, he ultimately believed that Zhong Wu Shiyao had the right to know.
Because in Zhong Wu Shiyao's heart, Tang Xinying was her family.
After hearing this, Mu Mengyi's anger towards Tang Xinying vanished. She empathized, realizing that Tang Xinying had sacrificed a lot for Tan Yun.
“Mengyi, in my heart, Tang Xinying's current plight is caused by me,” Tan Yun stepped forward, hugging Mu Mengyi and softly saying, “I will destroy the Tang royal family, as for Xinying, I…”
Before Tan Yun could finish, Mu Mengyi tightly embraced Tan Yun, tears welling in her beautiful eyes. “No need to say more, I understand. I can’t let you become a heartless person because of hatred.”
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you and Shiyao, so please save Xinying.”
Tan Yun nodded heavily. After releasing Mu Mengyi, he gently held Zhong Wu Shiyao's tear-streaked cheeks and comforted her, “I told you about Xinying’s situation because you are her sister, and you have the right to know.”
“Don’t be sad. I promise you, I will definitely heal her.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wu Shiyao bravely wiped away her tears. She left Tan Yun's embrace and turned to hug Mu Mengyi, saying, “Thank you, Sister Mu. I truly appreciate your understanding, and thank you for making concessions for me.”
“Fool, don’t cry.” Mu Mengyi wiped away Zhong Wu Shiyao's tears, even as her own eyes were stained with tears.
After a long time, the two girls calmed down. Tan Yun called He Lian Bing into the soundproof barrier and handed her three bottles of pills, advising her:
“Each bottle contains three pills. The white bottle contains the supreme life-extending holy pill; taking one can increase your lifespan by two hundred years.”
“The red bottle contains the supreme soul-calming spirit-nourishing holy pill; taking it can heal Xinying’s madness.”
“The blue bottle contains the supreme spirit pool reforging sacred pill; taking it will help Xinying restore her spirit pool.”
Hearing this, He Lian Bing's beautiful eyes widened with shock.
She knew that these three types of pills had long been lost to time, and she never expected Tan Yun would be able to refine them.
Tan Yun said, “You must remember, first give Xinying one supreme life-extending holy pill. After one month, give her one supreme soul-calming spirit-nourishing holy pill, and likewise, after another month, give her the supreme spirit pool reforging sacred pill.”
“Do not reverse the order of these three pills, do not take them together, and do not take them earlier or later; they must be spaced a month apart.”
He Lian Bing nodded seriously, “I understand. I thank Sect Master Tan on behalf of the Sixth Prince.”
“No need for thanks; this is what I should do.” After Tan Yun spoke, he continued, “These three pills are treasures that have been lost. I do not wish for others to know about them, so you must swear now that you will not tell anyone except for Xinying.”
Though He Lian Bing felt unhappy about this, she still readily took the oath.
Tan Yun added, “To show my gratitude for your coming here to inform me, I will give you one of each of these supreme pills and leave the rest for Xinying.”
“Giving them to me?” He Lian Bing was incredulous, but upon seeing Tan Yun nod, she excitedly bowed deeply, “Thank you, Sect Master Tan!”
“And this letter, please help me deliver it to her once Xinying is healed,” Tan Yun said as he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to He Lian Bing.
After He Lian Bing received the pills and the letter, she clasped her fists and said, “I look forward to our next meeting, Sect Master Tan.”
“Safe travels,” Tan Yun replied with a fist salute.
“Wait a moment.” Zhong Wu Shiyao looked at He Lian Bing with red eyes, sincerely saying, “I am Shiyao, Xinying’s sister. Please tell my sister that I miss her very much, and I will definitely go see her!”
