Chapter 862: 862: Hidden Tang Sect
Back to the Hidden Tang Sect...
Upon learning that their Sect Master had let the Tan Family borrow their sect’s flying artifact, some were feeling a bit in a bad mood. The other half felt that it’s not a problem at all. This reaction from the Hidden Tang Sect made the Tan Family not feel welcome in this place anymore. Ancestor Tang Yuyi was the first to speak up because of this and called out to her son, Tang Yuan, to see her in their room after dinner.
In the guest room where Tang Yuyi and her husband, Tan Huangyu, had been waiting for him. Tang Yuan after finishing his duties as the sect master finally found his way to see his parents’ room.
Tang Yuan said, "Mom, Dad, I’m here."
"You’re here. Come take a seat inside. Your mom is still bathing. Do you want some tea or coffee?" Tan Huangyu asked.
Tang Yuan sat at the empty couch and answered, "Coffee will be fine. Thank you, dad!"
After serving Tang Yuan a cup of coffee, Tan Huangyu sat on the opposite side and also took a sip of his own cup of tea.
"How is work? Has everything stabilized now? Your power within the sect should be unshakable by now," said Tan Huangyu.
Tang Yuan said, "It’s all thanks to Mom giving me all the power but thanks to that the new generation elders seem to be having second thoughts about Mom’s Ancestor position. If Mom wasn’t injured, her cultivation wouldn’t have regressed. Don’t they know that we had only survived because of Mom, Master Aunt and the Elders’ sacrifices?!"
"These are the problems a leader would have to tackle as they reign on the top," said Tan Huangyu. "How to handle it? You have to make choices, and eventually sacrifices to achieve what is best."
Tang Yuan, who was listening to his foster dad’s words, seemed to understand the hidden meaning within his words. As a leader, one must have enough intelligence to control and dominate as well as to understand the meaning between each sentence.
His lips seemed to tremble a bit and said, "Dad, you and Mom are... Is the Tan Family planning to leave the sect!?"
Sect Master Tang Yuan finally understood why his foster mother supported him and gave him the ancestral artifact weapon of their sect. This is to give him full authority over the sect and that the Tan Family is planning to leave the sect all to him. It was at this moment that his mother, Tang Yuyi, had arrived.
"When the problem with the Du Clan is resolved, we will leave with the mistress to the Outer Haven. Bing’er and Ren’er had borrowed the flying ship to report to the Mistress. Once they’ve returned we can handle the Du Clan and the Fairy race all together," said Tang Yuyi.
Tang Yuan wanted to say something but was cut off by the words of his foster mother.
Tang Yuyi said, "Son, the Tan Clan serves the Moon Goddess. We were not meant to stay in the sect."
"How about me?" Tang Yuan asked.
Tang Yuyi said, "If you aren’t too attached to the Sect, we could have brought you and your family with us but... Your family is too integrated with the sect and without you this sect would most likely fail. You said your strength wasn’t enough and your position as the sect master is shaky. That’s why we gave you the Thousand Form umbrella."
Sect Master Tang Yuan was stunned and didn’t know how to respond to these words. But his foster parents were right, he truly cannot leave this sect and follow them. He noticed the change in the sect especially how they treat the Tan Family. At first, they were grateful to the sect and after getting precious gifts from two big shots, it helped increase the power of the other elders within the sect including his own cultivation which now had a solid foundation as a God King realm.
Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi waited for Tang Yuan to speak up. These three had a conversation all night and Tang Yuan left his foster parents’ room with red eyes. It seems that the fact that his foster parents leaving wasn’t something he can stop and he also has a sect to protect so he cannot leave with them.
The next morning, Tan Bingyu, and Xue Renxue returned to the sect bringing people with them. When the people learned who had come the whole sect had almost caused a huge commotion. The Sect Master and the elders were having a meeting when a messenger came running to their meeting hall.
BAM!
The sound of the door forcibly being pushed had echoed in the whole hall catching everyone else’s attention.
Sect Master Tang Yuan spoke, "What is happening?!"
"Sect Master, that young couple from the Tan Family had returned!" The messenger said.
An elder who greatly opposed the existence of the Tan Family said, "So what if they had returned? Had our flying vehicle returned with them?"
"No. NO. That’s not what I meant. Someone else had returned with them. It’s the Thunder King. The one from the Regal Lei Clan!" The messenger finally shouted out the thing that was enough to scare him and the guards at the gates.
"The Thunder King from the Regal Lei Clan!?"
"Are you talking about the one from the Core Haven? That Royal family!?"
"You gotta be kidding! Why would an outsider like the Tan Family have that kind of connection!?"
"Isn’t their connection to the Moon Goddess already proven fake!?"
The elders ask one after another. Meanwhile, Tang Yuan finally realized the reason why some elders no longer treat the Tan Family the same way as before. It seems someone was spreading some rumors about the Tan Family’s connection with the Moon Goddess as some kind of rumors. But he who had met the Moon Goddess herself knew that the Tan Family truly serves her.
Sect Master Tang Yuan with a grim expression on his face asked, "Is this the reason why you are treating the Tan Family with such coldness and detachment? Did you truly believe that the Moon Goddess had no connection with them? Or do you think your face is big enough that the Immortal Sun Empire’s Great General and the Immortal Star Emperor would send a compensation gift for you? How funny~. Just how thick are those old faces of yours!"
Silence~
As silence descended in the hall, the elders who were against the Tan Family all had their old faces turning red in embarrassment. Unfortunately, they truly couldn’t retort at all. Lately, in the past few weeks, they had truly believed that it was because of them that those big shots had taken a liking to them and given them a face and compensation gifts. Little did they know that it was all thanks to Yue Xuexia’s existence that Shen Taiyang and Xing Xieju were willing to give compensation.
Tang Yuan said, "Alright. Let us go and welcome the guest first. Have you sent Lord Lei to the Receiving Hall?" He asked the messenger.
The messenger trembled and said, "No. That Exalted Lord said he wished to meet the rest of the Tan Family. That young couple had brought Lord Lei over to the Guest Hall instead."
The elders upon hearing this collectively turned their faces into something gloomy. In their eyes, the Exalted Lord was the guest of their Hidden Tang Sect and had forgotten the fact that this precious guest in their eyes had only come to the sect for the sake of the Tan Family.
Inside the Tang Sect, sensing that the children wanted to look around the place first, the Thunder King had no other choice but to accompany them in their little adventure. Tan Bingyu had sent her lover to inform the family about their guest and prepare some lunch for everyone. Lei Yuye didn’t mind having his arrival be informed and after such a journey he is also feeling quite famished. Tan Bingyu only brought the children to the place they would appreciate, like the flower garden and some fun places.
Lei Yuye enjoyed watching the children have fun and even remembered the two brats at home who would definitely get along well with these children. What he didn’t expect was that while he wasn’t exposed some disciples from the Hidden Tang Sect would arrive and bully the three children that came with them.
"What is this? Miss Tan, no wonder you reject my senior brother’s courting." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"So you already have children with that white haired bastard who is always with you!?"
"How about you break up with that white haired bastard and I think the senior brother is willing to accept these bastard children of yours~"
Tan Bingyu’s face turned cold at these words. She doesn’t mind getting annoyed by these men as long as they don’t insult her family, but to think they would not only insult her lover but also the children of the Mistress. She can no longer ignore their ignorance and was about to make a move.
The tee children ran towards their grand uncle and asked, "Granduncle, what is a bastard?"
"Bastard? Is it delicious?" Yue Hualei asked.
Only Yue Huashui, who can somehow understand these words, had an ugly look on their faces. The Thunder King coaxed the children.
"Don’t listen to the words of the trash. If you give them attention they would spout more garbage~," said Lei Yuye while watching the three children nodding their heads innocently.
Upon hearing the words the Thunder King had spoken the group of young disciples felt that they were embarrassed by this old man who they couldn’t recognize at all and that they were being looked down upon.
"Who the hell are you calling trash!? Damn Old thing!!"
