About half an hour later,

Ning Xuan finally walked in, dressed in a moon-white robe with gold trim.

Perhaps it was because of his father, Ning Fengzhi.

The higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect usually preferred to wear white.

"Lady Yue, I've heard so much about you."

Ning Xuan smiled and took the seat of honor.

"You're the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Xuan?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Tang Yuehua's eyes.

Ning Xuan seemed energetic and healthy, elegant and refined, with handsome features. Though he was only in his twenties, his eyes were filled with the composure of someone who had seen through everything.

He was entirely different from the image she had heard about from her friends.

[The system detected Tang Yuehua's surprise. Emotional Value +200]

"Mm."

Ning Xuan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Tang Yuehua to provide him with Emotional Value too, but he immediately got to the point.

"Lady Yue, the delay with the batch of medicinal herbs you ordered was our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's fault. Don't worry. I've already instructed the people below me, and we'll deliver them to you within three days at the latest."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also compensate you as agreed."

"Young Sect Master, you certainly don't beat around the bush."

Tang Yuehua pondered briefly before continuing.

"In that case, I won't beat around the bush either. I came today because I also want to buy something from you."

Ning Xuan wasn't surprised in the least.

Tang Yuehua had waited for him, so she surely hadn't come just for a single transaction. He simply didn't know what else she wanted.

"Lady Yue, please speak freely."

Ning Xuan smiled.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is in the business of doing business. If we have it within the sect, I can make the decision."

He was the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As the next sect master, he had more right than anyone to say that.

"An Immortal Herb."

As she said this, Tang Yuehua seemed to take a deep breath.

Ning Xuan's smile vanished.

His expression instantly turned grim, and he fixed Tang Yuehua with a burning gaze.

"I don't know what you mean, Lady Yue."

At the same time, his thoughts were already racing.

An Immortal Herb?

This was a matter of great importance, and not many people knew about it.

His father, Ning Fengzhi?

Even the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, would never let it slip.

Then it could only be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Half a month ago, when he sent betrothal gifts to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had included an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to show his sincerity and how seriously he took the matter.

So the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew that Immortal Herbs existed.

But why would Tang Yuehua know too?

"I won't hide it from you, Young Sect Master. Erlong and I are close friends."

Tang Yuehua took another deep breath.

Just as he thought!

Ning Xuan's gaze turned cold.

Liu Erlong truly hadn't taken his warning seriously at all. She'd turned around and spilled something as important as the Immortal Herb.

"Erlong said that you once gave her an Immortal Herb as a betrothal gift, and that you once took one yourself to break through the shackles of your Martial Soul."

Tang Yuehua continued.

"So I'd also like to buy an Immortal Herb from you."

Her expression was sincere.

"No matter the price, as long as you're willing to part with one, I'm willing to pay anything."

Her Martial Soul had also undergone a mutation, leaving her permanently stuck at Rank 10 Soul Power.

If she had a chance to break through that threshold,

who wouldn't be tempted?

"I'm sorry."

Ning Xuan stood up.

"Lady Yue, there are no Immortal Herbs left."

Tang Yuehua's expression changed. Seeing Ning Xuan about to walk past her, she hurriedly said,

"Young Sect Master, I really need an Immortal Herb."

[The system detected Tang Yuehua's anxiety. Emotional Value +200]

Ning Xuan stopped.

He turned and asked,

"Lady Yue, no one else knows about the Immortal Herbs, right?"

He knew Tang Yuehua's identity.

She was a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao's younger sister, and Tang San's aunt.

The relationships were far too tangled.

If the news spread from her, then from here on, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely have no shortage of trouble.

At the thought, Ning Xuan grew angry with Liu Erlong again.

Was that woman an idiot?

She didn't consider the importance of anything; she dared to tell people everything!

"Rest assured, Young Sect Master."

Tang Yuehua looked sincere.

"Even if you truly aren't willing to part with one, I'll take this matter to my grave."

Ning Xuan's expression finally eased a little.

He looked at Tang Yuehua.

"Lady Yue, Immortal Herbs are only somewhat more effective than ordinary medicinal herbs. They aren't as powerful as you think."

"As for breaking through bottlenecks, that's even more absurd."

He shook his head and continued.

"Take me, for example."

"Since you're friends with Liu Erlong, you should know that even after taking an Immortal Herb, I still haven't broken through my bottleneck, right?"

Tang Yuehua fell silent.

Indeed.

Liu Erlong had told her everything.

She'd said Ning Xuan was a useless simp, and that even after taking an Immortal Herb, his Soul Power was still stuck at Rank 79. If not for the marriage alliance between their clans, she would never have married a good-for-nothing like Ning Xuan.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's expression, Ning Xuan understood everything.

Just as he'd thought.

Liu Erlong had likely used him as a topic of conversation and told people plenty about him.

And considering Tang Yuehua's surprise when they first met,

Ning Xuan could also guess how casually and contemptuously Liu Erlong had spoken about him.

He had to start the annulment as soon as possible.

Just thinking about Liu Erlong's face now made him feel a little disgusted.

"All right, I understand."

Tang Yuehua shook her head, her expression complicated.

How could she fail to hear the refusal in Ning Xuan's words?

But just as she was about to leave the reception room, Tang Yuehua seemed to suddenly think of something. She turned around and asked instinctively,

"Young Sect Master."

"Is there anything else, Lady Yue?"

Ning Xuan asked.

"Are you really still only at Rank 79?"

Tang Yuehua asked softly.

She had a noble Soul Ring and a Domain, and was very sensitive to Soul Masters' ranks. Ning Xuan had never felt like someone who was only Rank 79.

At the very least, she was a Soul Douluo of Rank 80 or higher.

"What rank do you think I should be, Lady Yue?"

Ning Xuan's eyes darkened. Instead of answering, he asked her a question.

Tang Yuehua's pupils suddenly contracted. She took a deep breath, then turned and left.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Ning Xuan's mind again.

[Detected Tang Yuehua's extreme shock. Emotional Value +2000]

Ning Xuan froze, then shook his head with a wry smile.

What a clever woman.

At least she was far more clever than that love-addled Liu Erlong.

"Go to Blue Tyrant Academy."

Tang Yuehua climbed into the carriage that had been waiting by the side of the street. Her voice was calm, but the emotions in her heart refused to settle.

Liu Erlong had kept saying Ning Xuan was a good-for-nothing!

Even after taking an Immortal Herb, he still couldn't break through the Martial Soul bottleneck of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

That was why she'd held Ning Xuan in such contempt and disdain.

But what if Ning Xuan had been hiding his true abilities all along?

Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, thinking of the plan Erlong had told her about a few days ago.

To give herself to the one she loved in the Sunset Forest?

To leave no regrets?

She hoped Erlong hadn't made those mistakes yet!
