“He can’t bother me anymore,” Ruan Xiyan replied calmly.
"Of course, who is my Sister Yan? She's not someone that young punk can covet." Lin Muze said with a fawning smile.
With a prodigious and talented person like Sister Yan, it's hard to imagine who could eventually subdue her.
"Sister Yan, are you thirsty? Shall I get you a cup of tea?"
Before Ruan Xiyan could say anything, Jun Yu came out of the room of the flying spirit treasure, carrying a sumptuous tea and snacks.
Ruan Xiyan looked at him in surprise, "Where did you get these things from?"
The pastries were still warm; she didn't remember having them on the flying magical artifact.
"Before setting off, I prepared ingredients for tea and snacks so that I could make them for Ayan whenever she wanted to eat them along the way."
"Ayan, try it and see how it tastes." Junyu picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan took a small bite and praised, "You're ready to open a shop."
Jun Yu smiled and took Ruan Xiyan's hand. "I only wanted to make this for Ayan. It's hard for others to taste my cooking."
"What's going on?!" Lin Muze, who was standing next to him, had not yet recovered from the fact that Jun Yu had thoughtfully prepared tea and snacks.
Upon seeing the two hands clasped together, it was as if a thunderbolt struck his mind, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"Sister Yan, you and Brother Jun? You two..." Lin Muze said, gesturing with his fingers.
Ruan Xiyan openly declared, "We're together."
Lin Muze quickly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it to calm himself down.
He clasped his hands in greeting to Jun Yu and Ruan Xiyan, saying, "Sister Yan, Brother Jun, congratulations!"
"I saw it long ago. Sister Yan and Brother Jun are a perfect match, a match made in heaven," Lin Muze said with a hearty laugh.
"Thank you." Jun Yu smiled.
After Lin Muze finished speaking, he smelled the aroma of pastries wafting over and his stomach rumbled loudly.
Lin Muze scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Um, Brother Jun, can I have some?"
"Please go ahead," Jun Yu replied.
Clearly, Lin Muze's words of blessing had put her in a good mood.
Lin Muze also noticed this. He picked up a piece of pastry and continued, "Brother Jun, let me tell you, you and Sister Yan are the perfect match."
"As long as the two of you stand there, you will be the center of attention, and no one can get in between you. I wish you both a long and happy life together, and that you will stay together until you grow old."
"If the two of you aren't together, who else could be? Seeing you two together makes me feel incredibly happy."
Jun Yu felt pleased by Lin Muze's words and affirmed, "You have good taste. If one pastry isn't enough, there are more here."
One of them was talking enthusiastically, while the other was listening attentively.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat," Ruan Xiyan interrupted them helplessly.
If we let them keep talking, the pastries will get cold.

As they entered the Crimson Burning Imperial Domain aboard their flying magical artifact, a tremendous sound came from the southwest, followed by a beam of white light appearing in the sky above.
Lin Muze peered in that direction and said, "That seems to be the direction of the Skyfire Forbidden Land. Such unusual activity could mean that the entrance to the passage has opened."
"Let's go, let's go to Crimson City first."
Chifen Imperial Domain, Chiqing City.
Ruan Xiyan and her companions arrived in the city and headed straight for an inn.
When they arrived, Yu Qiqi and the others were already waiting there.
In the inn room.
"You arrived quite quickly." Lin Muze sat down in a chair.
“I couldn’t wait to see Sister Yan, so we set off a month early,” Yu Qiqi replied with a smile.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Yingxue and Tinghe in the room, seemingly not expecting them to be there as well.
"Yingxue, Tinghe, weren't you learning weapon crafting and alchemy from your respective masters at the Ice Feather Palace? Why did you come with them?"
Yingxue and Tinghe exchanged a glance, then suddenly knelt down before Ruan Xiyan.
“Lord, we disobeyed your command and came here without permission. Please punish us.”
"You two get up first," Ruan Xiyan said, pulling them both up from the ground. "Tell me the reason, why?"
“My lord, we wish to accompany you to the cultivation continent,” Yingxue and Tinghe said at the same time.
"One of us knows how to forge weapons, and the other knows how to refine medicine. We can definitely help our lord."
“That’s right. When our master goes to the cultivation continent where he is unfamiliar with the place, he will be isolated and helpless without his own power. That’s why we want to go together.”
"We are confident that we can build a power belonging to our Lord, just like the Illusion Pavilion."
Ruan Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "What will Elder Shen and Elder Zhou say if you leave?"
“Our master is very good. He has taught us a lot. We can help our lord, and they have agreed to this.” Yingxue said.
"My lord, please take us with you," Tinghe pleaded.
Ruan Xiyan looked thoughtful.
Yingxue and the others are right. There are countless forces on the cultivation continent, and they are all intertwined. New forces emerge every day while old forces decline.
Why can't she build her own power?
Although she currently plans to first settle in the Tianyu Sect mentioned by Palace Master Yu, to familiarize herself with the various forces on the cultivation continent, in order to prepare for her future adventures on the cultivation continent.
However, that place was not a place for her to stay for long. Being under the protection of others always carried hidden dangers. She had to act according to the wishes of others and was subject to many constraints.
If she had her own power, she could do things much more easily and freely.
Moreover, Yingxue and Tinghe, as noble weapon refiners and alchemists, are quite skilled in their respective fields.
Compared to ordinary people, they find it easier to build up influence.
With their individual talents, they certainly shouldn't be confined to a small, secular continent.
Since they had this intention, Ruan Xiyan agreed.
“If you’ve made up your minds, I’ll take you with me.”
Upon hearing this, He couldn't hide her joy. She excitedly hugged Yingxue beside her, "Yingxue, did you hear that? The Lord has agreed to take us there."
Yingxue looked at Tinghe, who was jumping and skipping around, and a rare smile appeared on her face. "I heard it."
“Xi Yan, if you’re going to establish your power in the cultivation continent, count me in.” Luo Wanyin looked at Ruan Xi Yan.
"I want to join Sister Yan's faction too!" Yu Qiqi cheered.
“Me too,” Lin Muze added.
Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "Okay, you can join anytime you want."
Jun Yu looked at Ruan Xiyan with tender eyes, "It seems that Ayan will have to take me in again."
Jun Yu felt no shame in being a gigolo who lived off Ruan Xiyan; on the contrary, he was proud of it.
After all, your wife is the most important person.
