A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, unfathomable.
And because they are emotional, they tend to overthink things.
For instance, Jun Xiaoyao actually had no need to give Tantai Jade Dragon such a valuable gift.
After all, the Tantai Imperial Clan and the Yun Clan Emperor Clan were definitely not on such good terms.
So, what was the reason?
The only reason was Tantai Qingxuan, who had interacted with Jun Xiaoyao before.
The more Tantai Qingxuan thought, the more she felt this was possible.
That is, Jun Xiaoyao might also have feelings for her.
He just didn't say it explicitly, hinting at it by giving a grand gift.
It could be said that Tantai Qingxuan's wild imaginings led her to one of life's three great delusions.
He likes me.
Of course, Tantai Qingxuan was not that narcissistic.
She only had this thought; she wasn't certain.
Nor was it possible for her to ask Jun Xiaoyao for confirmation.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao also returned to her side and sat down.
"Young Miss Qingxuan, what's wrong?"
Seeing Tantai Qingxuan slightly lost in thought, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"No, nothing."
A blush spread across Tantai Qingxuan's face.
"What am I thinking about!"
Tantai Qingxuan secretly bit her lip, feeling that she was overthinking things.
Although she was a proud daughter of the Tantai Imperial Clan, and her beauty was enough to be listed on the Fengshen Stele.
But Jun Xiaoyao's conditions in all aspects were almost perfect; he would never lack women, so how could he fancy her?
However...
If Jun Xiaoyao really proposed something.
What should she do?
After all, she genuinely couldn't find any flaws in Jun Xiaoyao.
It could be said that for a woman, he was an absolutely perfect partner.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally saw Tantai Qingxuan's subtle emotional entanglement.
He picked up the tea, took a small sip, and there was a deep look in his eyes.
The reason he gave such a grand gift as the World Tree branch.
Firstly, he naturally had the idea of winning over the Tantai Imperial Clan.
Although the Yun Clan Emperor Clan was strong, it was impossible for them to simultaneously contend against the other Seven Great Emperor Clans.
If Jun Xiaoyao wanted to elevate the Yun Clan Emperor Clan to become the true top force in the Boundary Sea.
Then the first thing he needed to do was to firmly secure the position of the Dragon Head of the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
And the most suitable method was to form alliances, to engage in vertical and horizontal alliances.
The Tantai Imperial Clan was a very good target for alliance and cooperation.
Jun Xiaoyao, with a strong posture, displayed his strength and crushed Xiahou Zhen.
In fact, he was also clearly telling the Tantai Imperial Clan.
I am very strong.
And in the future, I will become even stronger, even surpassing my father.
Therefore, if the Tantai Imperial Clan wanted to form an alliance, the Yun Clan Emperor Clan would be the best choice.
As for the second reason.
It was to make Tantai Qingxuan feel that he valued her greatly.
At least, the kind of importance given to a close friend.
Jun Xiaoyao did this naturally to facilitate his later investigation into the Karma behind Tantai Qingxuan.
Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that the Karma behind Tantai Qingxuan was very important to him.
It was very likely to bring him immense benefits again.
So for this benefit, Jun Xiaoyao giving away a section of the World Tree branch was not a loss.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao could easily give away hundreds or thousands of such branches.
In his Inner Universe, the World Tree was growing extremely luxuriantly.
In the time that followed, the birthday banquet continued.
Jun Xiaoyao conversed very harmoniously with Tantai Qingxuan, Tantai Mingzhu, and others.
And Jun Xiaoyao's conversation and vision were both extremely superior and broad.
Making Tantai Mingzhu, this little fangirl, even more incomparably adoring.
Tantai Qingxuan also admired Jun Xiaoyao's extraordinary insight more and more.
In contrast, Chu Xiao, who had been somewhat forgotten by Tantai Qingxuan.
In terms of background, vision, and pattern.
Compared to Jun Xiaoyao, he had absolutely no comparability whatsoever.
One was a Kunpeng soaring through the Nine Heavens.
One was a loach in a muddy pond.
No, not even a loach, just an earthworm.
And it was around this time.
At the edge of the Central Star Domain of the Yu Huang Universe.
There was a Young man, sitting on a strange bird.
The Young man was full of heroic spirit and imposing.
It was Chu Xiao, who had traveled all the way from the Qingyang World.
Originally, the Yu Huang Universe, as the world of the Tantai Imperial Clan.
It was not so simple to enter.
But recently, because of the birthday banquet, entering the Yu Huang Universe was very convenient, one could directly enter through a teleportation array.
So Chu Xiao also entered directly.
"Qingxuan, I'm finally going to see you." Chu Xiao's face showed a hint of joy.
The past was vivid in his mind, unforgettable.
He had come all the way from a Minor Thousand Worlds to this place.
Presumably, Tantai Qingxuan would also be moved by him.
Chu Xiao could even imagine it now.
The enchanting smile that would bloom on Tantai Qingxuan's beautiful and flawless face when she saw him.
Feeling his fervent mood.
Chu Xiao entered the Central Star Domain and arrived at the ancestral planet of the Tantai Imperial Clan.
"Who goes there!"
Although it was the time of the birthday banquet, there were still Cultivators of the Tantai Imperial Clan guarding outside.
"I am a friend of Qingxuan, here to offer birthday wishes," Chu Xiao said.
"Young Miss Qingxuan's friend?"
The Cultivator of the Tantai Imperial Clan showed a look of suspicion.
When did Young Miss Qingxuan have such a friend?
Moreover, they looked at Chu Xiao and didn't see the noble temperament of an Imperial Clan Young Master.
He looked just like a bumpkin from who knows where.
Seeing this, Chu Xiao's eyes also slightly darkened.
It had been the same before.
Old Ling, Tantai Qingxuan's Guardian, had also looked at him with such disdain.
Are all Imperial Clan Cultivators so snobbish?
Chu Xiao's body shook, and he directly released the aura of a Great Heavenly Venerate.
"A Great Heavenly Venerate?"
The Cultivators of the Tantai Imperial Clan were astonished.
They could tell that Chu Xiao was not old.
At such an age, to be a Great Heavenly Venerate expert, he was definitely a Prodigy.
There must be an extraordinary force behind him.
"Please come in."
They dared not obstruct him further.
"Hmph." Chu Xiao let out a cold snort.
Indeed, in this Boundary Sea, while identity and status were important.
The most fundamental thing was still strength.
Chu Xiao possessed the Qiankun Gourd and a mysterious golden foil.
He believed that he would become an unrivaled Big Shot in the Boundary Sea in the future.
Perhaps... he might even be able to restore the glory of the Chu Clan Emperor Clan.
Chu Xiao walked in.
Not long after, he arrived at the crowded banquet.
Looking at the tens of thousands of banquets, and the rare and delicious dishes.
Chu Xiao was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, his eyes wide with shock and incomparable amazement.
However, he did not forget the purpose of his visit, which was to find Tantai Qingxuan.
So he continued forward.
Soon, Chu Xiao's gaze fell upon a peerlessly beautiful woman in a plain dress, as pure as the moon, sitting at the VIP table.
"Qingxuan…"
Chu Xiao's heart was filled with an intense warmth, almost wanting to blurt out her name.
But the next moment, his vision completely froze.
He saw Tantai Qingxuan smiling, picking up a teapot, and pouring tea for a peerless Young Master in white sitting beside her.
Their conversation seemed quite harmonious.
From an outsider's perspective, it looked as if a wife was serving her own husband.
Boom...
Chu Xiao's mind rumbled like thunder.
It shook his mind blank, completely bewildered.
"Qingxuan!"
Chu Xiao shouted.
The fervent atmosphere in the entire hall instantly fell silent.
In an instant, all eyes fell on Chu Xiao.
