Chapter 99: Two People's Affection

"Here I am!"

Tian Wen, holding Tian Tian, sighed softly. This was his only daughter.

"I don't want to get married, I don't want to marry into the Xiao family, I don't want to be the Empress of the Nine States Divine Dynasty. I just want to find someone I like!" Tian Tian cried out loud.

"Um, don't worry, I'll help you break off the engagement!" Tian Tian's cries were hoarse, making Tian Wen feel very heartbroken. This matter was a lack of consideration by the older generation of the Tian family. Of course, for them, they wouldn't consider Tian Tian's personal feelings; the family's interests came first.

"Thank you, Father!" For Tian Tian, Tian Wen was her greatest support. She had grown up watching her father's back.

Although she rarely spent time with her father, she would secretly run to the study to see him buried in his work.

For some reason, just looking at his figure made her feel very secure and at ease.

"Father, why did Mother become like this..." Tian Tian had always felt helpless until this moment, when she finally felt at ease. This was her father.

"Don't blame her. Everyone makes mistakes in their lifetime. What kind of person is Xu Daoyan? Can you tell me about him?" Tian Wen's voice was deep, with a faint smile.

"Ah? He's just a fool, a fool, a fool, who only makes me suffer, so annoying!" Tian Tian thought of Yun Wu and felt a bit crazy.

"Then why do you still like him?" Tian Wen laughed.

"He should be like Father when you were young!" Tian Tian said reluctantly.

"Ha ha, you, don't always dress like a tomboy. Change into a girl's outfit. If you like him, be with him. No matter what decision you make, I will stand by you and always support you." Tian Wen patted Tian Tian's back and said, "Rest well today. Tomorrow you will stay at Fulong Academy and leave home for a while."

"Okay, what about Mother?" Tian Tian was happy, knowing that her father was always the one in charge at home.

"Let her reflect on her actions. If she persists in her delusions, I will lock her in the Reflection Garden." Tian Wen's tone was calm, but Tian Tian knew he would definitely do it.

"Okay, Father, I don't blame Mother. She was just trying to do what's best for me, but she used the wrong methods!" After all, mother and daughter were connected, even though they had a fierce argument, Tian Tian still thought of her mother.

"I know, you're tired. Rest well." Tian Wen was relieved and turned to leave.

Unconsciously, a day had passed.

Xu Daoyan was shocked to find that his lifespan had increased to 45,000 years. In the vortex in his lungs, the golden immortal energy would soon be full. When the two organ vortices were fully complete, his lifespan would increase significantly.

His lifespan had improved as his body's essence had transformed.

He originally wanted to continue practicing, but at that moment, Tian Tian's voice came from the door: "Uncle Daoyan, come out!"

"Eh?" Xu Daoyan recognized Tian Tian's voice, immediately got up, opened the door, and when he saw Tian Tian, his eyes almost fell out, and he was startled: "Tian Gongzi, you, how did you become a woman?"

"What do you mean, how did I become a woman? I've always been a woman. And I'm not Tian Yu; that's my seventh brother's name. My name is Tian Tian!" After yesterday, Tian Tian had changed completely, her mindset had improved, and she had put on a girl's outfit, which made Gao Ziqi very happy.

Tian Tian was dressed in a black brocade robe, neat and tidy, no longer binding her chest. Her long hair fell down, emitting a faint fragrance.

Her smile was bright, her eyes clear and sparkling like stars, looking at Xu Daoyan with a sweet smile.

"..." Xu Daoyan was speechless, not having noticed at all.

"What? What's that look on your face?" Tian Tian huffed.

Xu Daoyan finally came to his senses and sighed, "I'm just having trouble accepting that you're a woman..."

"What do you mean? Do I look like a man?" Tian Tian wanted to strangle Xu Daoyan.

"Not really. From the beginning, I thought how could a man be as feminine as a woman. Now I finally understand!" Xu Daoyan sighed.

"Daoyan, Tian Tian, come over here." At this moment, Meng Ziyang spoke.

The two stopped arguing and came to Meng Ziyang.

"Daoyan, you are Tian Tian's uncle. From now on, you can call her by her name. Once you enter Fulong Academy, all backgrounds are just clouds. Respect seniority!" Meng Ziyang instructed.

"Yes!" Xu Daoyan bowed in agreement.

"Tian Tian, you must not use your status to pressure Daoyan. If I find out, you will be severely punished!" Meng Ziyang said solemnly.

"I know, I've never used my status to pressure him!" Tian Tian wrinkled her nose and smiled.

"Go and sweep the snow!" At this moment, Gao Ziqi came out from the side, holding a large broom, smiling like a matchmaker, extremely happy.

"Yes!" Tian Tian happily took the broom, while Xu Daoyan bowed in acceptance.

At this moment, Yun Wu came out of the bamboo house, seeing Tian Tian in a girl's outfit. Gao Ziqi had them both go to sweep the snow, clearly wanting to foster their relationship, which made her unhappy.

In the sky, snowflakes slowly fell. She wore the Tianyin Immortal Robe that Xu Daoyan had bought for her, with a purple glow flowing. Compared to before, it was less stunning but more dignified, light, and graceful as she walked.

She walked to Xu Daoyan and brushed the snow off his shoulders, looking like a virtuous wife, and said softly, "Mr. Daoyan, the immortal robe you gave me fits well. Don't spend so much in the future!"

Tian Tian's smile froze, and she stood there, wondering if the two had become close in just one day.

"Eh, if you like it, I'll go sweep the snow!" Xu Daoyan blushed, remembering yesterday, and nodded, feeling very strange.

"Um!" Yun Wu nodded, ignoring Tian Tian, and went to the chessboard, saying, "Mr. Ziqi, shall we play another game?"

"Sure!" Gao Ziqi was taken aback but had to agree.

In terms of chess skills, Yun Wu knew she was not a match for Meng Ziyang. From his style of play, she could sense that Meng Ziyang had a firm inner conviction, as solid as a rock, making it hard to break through. Gao Ziqi, on the other hand, was unpredictable, playing without any rules, following his heart. Although his skills were still above Yun Wu's, they were not unbreakable!

Meng Ziyang moved aside, his expression gentle, planning to watch the game. He knew that Yun Wu wanted to use the game to express her feelings to Gao Ziqi.

"Miss Yun Wu, you go first with the white pieces!" Gao Ziqi smiled, knowing very well what Yun Wu was thinking.

"Mr. Ziqi, things are different now. Be careful." Yun Wu placed a piece on the board.

Xu Daoyan and Tian Tian held large brooms, looking at the thick layer of snow on the not very long stone steps.

"Uncle Daoyan, shall we each sweep one side?" Although Tian Tian felt uncomfortable calling Xu Daoyan "uncle," she had to do so in Fulong Academy.

"Eh, sure!" Xu Daoyan had always thought Tian Tian was a boy, and suddenly becoming a girl felt a bit strange.

The two stepped onto the stone steps, each sweeping one side, walking in silence. Xu Daoyan focused his mind, sweeping the snow and drawing winter energy into his kidneys, transforming it into a storing energy. For him, the more he accumulated, the better.

"Uncle Daoyan, don't you have anything to say to me?" Tian Tian looked at him unhappily.

"I don't know what to say..." Xu Daoyan was not used to it.

"Who do you think is prettier, me or Yun Wu?" Tian Tian knew that Yun Wu's words were to make her angry, but she couldn't help it. Xu Daoyan had given her such an expensive immortal robe, which made Tian Tian feel uncomfortable.

For Tian Tian, a Tianyin Immortal Robe was not much, but for Xu Daoyan, it was a huge expense. The intention was more important, and women valued intention the most.

It was this immortal robe that Xu Daoyan had given to Yun Wu.

Xu Daoyan looked at Tian Tian seriously, thinking for a long time, and finally concluded, "Both are very pretty!"

"Obviously, I'm prettier than her!" Tian Tian said stubbornly.

"You have your good points, and she has hers. There's no comparison!" Xu Daoyan was very stubborn and explained seriously.

"Are you trying to make me angry?" Tian Tian glared at him.

"You're pretty, you're pretty!" Xu Daoyan felt a headache and quickly said.

"Such a perfunctory answer?" Tian Tian scolded.

Xu Daoyan was speechless, but for Tian Tian, it didn't matter. She said slowly, "In the Tianhuang Fanlin, if it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have broken through to the Spirit Copper Body. You owe me two favors, remember?"

"Eh! Of course I haven't forgotten. As long as you ask for something I can do, I will do it." Xu Daoyan thought about it, and indeed, Tian Tian had helped him a lot. From teaching him to read and write, to practicing together, bringing him to Fulong Academy, and interpreting the Fanwen in Tianhuang Fanlin, leading to a significant breakthrough, she had made a great contribution.

"The first thing is that you must work very hard, very hard to improve your strength!" Tian Tian looked at Xu Daoyan seriously.

"I would do that even without you saying it!" Xu Daoyan was surprised.

"I mean, work twice as hard as you are now. Can you do that?" Tian Tian didn't want to marry Xiao Yan, a man she had never met. She had praised Xu Daoyan to her mother, but if he didn't improve much, the old ancestors of the Tian family could easily overrule her father. As for Tian Tian, she had no power to resist. Now, she could only place all her hopes on Xu Daoyan.

"Sure!" Xu Daoyan could feel Tian Tian's seriousness at this moment.

"The second thing, I'll think of it later!" She said and started sweeping the snow seriously.

Xu Daoyan didn't know what Tian Tian was thinking, but
