But it's best if the old man-in-law doesn't come to Kao Shan Sect for a visit.

Not to mention that Tang Rao has many wives, just the enmity with Chen Tuan is enough for Tang Rao to have a hard time.

"Hmph!"

You Xiaoxiao just snorted and had nothing more to say to Tang Rao.

...

Xiao Yun hid inside a cave.

The Kao Shan Sect has numerous caves, with ranges of mountains stretching far, and the terrain inside is treacherous; one mistake could lead to a life-threatening situation.

This particular cave is the most dangerous in Kao Shan Sect.

Back then, after Tang Rao surveyed the terrain, he specifically told the brothers of Kao Shan Sect that no matter what happens, no one is allowed to enter this cave.

Xiao Yun, of course, had heard this as she wasn't deaf, yet today of all places, she chose this forbidden cave. Who couldn't see the implication?

"Bastard Tang Rao, stupid Tang Rao, you damn bastard, I'm so good to you, yet you don't see me as a person. I'll make sure you only see other women, make sure you forget about me!"

Xiao Yun grabbed a small ragdoll from somewhere and started punching and kicking it.

Still, she felt frustrated and contemplated using the Silver Needle to stab it vigorously.

"You can't even attract a man, yet you hide here crying alone. You're making me lose face completely."

After the crying, a cold voice appeared before Xiao Yun.

"Sister, Tang Rao is just a brainless man. I've made it so obvious already, yet he still acts oblivious. Do I really have to suddenly pounce on him and confess my feelings?"

As Xiao Yun sobbed, her nose nearly blocked her breathing. She managed to catch a breath, thinking about Tang Rao having four women and not planning to accept a fifth. She burst into tears again, crying to the point of being inconsolable.

Liu Mingyue felt she had a fake sister.

"Cry, cry, just know how to cry; do you think crying will bring Tang Rao back? Do you think crying will make him agree to accept you? You need to put in the effort yourself. If you like him, go chase him. Saying you like him isn't enough; you must actively show with actions that you're serious about him. The more Tang Rao pretends not to know, the more you have to make it clear to him until he has no retreat and can accept you. Got it or not?"

Back then, that's exactly how Liu Mingyue got Chen Tuan.

However, her methods were even more unsavory; she directly drugged Chen Tuan, leaving him with nowhere to hide, and resulted in him surrendering, eventually ending up with a child.

Utterly conniving to the max.

"Sister, I'm not like you; I can't save face. Tang Rao will definitely make fun of me."

It's not that she really can't save face, just that in front of Tang Rao, Xiao Yun has always been a weak presence.

Confessing her love to Tang Rao?

Perhaps before even finishing the first few words, Tang Rao would start to hold back laughter.

"If you can't do this or that, then don't bother chasing, save yourself the embarrassment."

Living in such constant fear of gain and loss, it's no wonder Xiao Yun can't win over Tang Rao.

No wonder You Xiaoxiao was already with Tang Rao while Tang Rao hadn't yet revealed anything to Xiao Yun.

"But, but giving up on Tang Rao makes my heart really uncomfortable."

Already sitting on the ground, Xiao Yun hugged Liu Mingyue's legs, feeling deeply aggrieved.

Being an attendant, Chen Tuan didn't enter but stood outside the cave eavesdropping on Liu Mingyue and Xiao Yun.

While giving Tang Rao a thumbs up, Chen Tuan proudly remarked how Tang Rao had potential and even managed to win over Xiao Yun, reminiscent of his own past prowess.

Liu Mingyue's advice to Xiao Yun was of no use.

By the end, Liu Mingyue even wanted to criticize Xiao Yun's cowardice.

"If you dare not confess, then don't claim you ever liked this man."

Liu Mingyue made sure Xiao Yun heard her final words, but whether Xiao Yun could heed them was her issue.

After finishing her words, Liu Mingyue started heading outside.

"Sister..."

Xiao Yun called out into the open, but she received no response.

Liu Mingyue, though upset, quickly turned back when sensing something amiss inside.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yun's figure was nowhere to be seen.

All that remained of Xiao Yun was a bracelet, most likely dropped accidentally during her struggle.

"Xiao Yun, Fuyao, come quickly, Xiao Yun is missing!"

Liu Mingyue and Xiao Yun weren't related by blood, but ever since Xiao Yun was little, Liu Mingyue had taken her along on travels.

After so many years, there were feelings involved.

Xiao Yun going missing, it was Liu Mingyue who was the most agitated.

Chen Tuan swiftly entered the cave, scouting around but finding no trace of Xiao Yun.

Odd, he clearly smelled her lingering scent, yet there wasn't a hint of a shadow.

"There's no one left in the cave, but this scent feels eerily familiar. Who could it be?"

Chen Tuan sat silently in meditation.

He must have encountered this familiar scent before.

Corpse Emperor.

Yes, it was definitely the scent of the Corpse Emperor.

Chen Tuan's sharp eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Corpse Emperor!"

He told Liu Mingyue.

The speed at which Corpse Emperor could disappear was unparalleled. By the time one realized it, he was already long gone, without a trace.

"What, how could the Corpse Emperor be within Kao Shan Sect? Didn't he disappear many years ago?"

Liu Mingyue had seen the real Corpse Emperor, a vile old man to the extreme.

The stench from his body could be smelled from afar.

After so many years, she hadn't expected the Corpse Emperor to appear right by Liu Mingyue and her group.

"The Single-horned Thunder Beast we encountered yesterday was a kind controlled by the Corpse Emperor. He hides wherever he can and also trains a few minions to wreak havoc outside. This one today should be one of Corpse Emperor's trained minions."

Chen Tuan was somewhat at a loss.

"You and the Corpse Emperor had some dealings back in the day; you should know where he is."

Liu Mingyue was almost frantic, having said quite a bit without getting a response from Chen Tuan.

"How would I know where the Corpse Emperor is? We haven't been in contact for many years."

There were still some past grudges between Chen Tuan and the Corpse Emperor. Asking Chen Tuan to find the Corpse Emperor again, Chen Tuan absolutely wouldn't dare.

"Fuyao, Xiao Yun is my sister. Can't you just clarify your dispute with the Corpse Emperor?"

Liu Mingyue almost wanted to shout into Chen Tuan's ear.

"It's no longer a trivial matter from back then. The Corpse Emperor, in order to cultivate Demon Technique, captured Ajiu. Ajiu is Tang Rao's master, and if Tang Rao knows about my relationship with the Corpse Emperor, he will not only kill the Corpse Emperor but won't spare me either."

This was Chen Tuan's biggest worry.

The growth of Tang Rao had long exceeded Chen Tuan's expectations.

He was an exceptional talent; though as of now, Chen Tuan could still subdue Tang Rao. However, in the future, Chen Tuan might need to rely on Tang Rao to continue advancing in the Land of Immortals.

"What about Xiao Yun then? We can't just abandon her because of old grievances. Don't you know Xiao Yun's identity and her importance?"

Liu Mingyue searched the cave over and over until later when Chen Tuan admitted Xiao Yun truly wasn't inside, forcing her to give up.
