"How many times must I say it? Who is this child?"
When Qian Chengxiao and the others entered the courtyard, Tang Tian and Tang Yuehua, who was sitting on the swing, both turned their gazes toward Qian Chengxiao.
The father and daughter looked at Qian Chengxiao with different expressions—one doubtful, the other curious.
"Clan Leader, this child is called Tang Chengxiao. He is a descendant of our Haotian Sect who was left stranded outside!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Tang Jiu's words, Tang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the doubt in his gaze toward Qian Chengxiao deepened.
Hearing the doubt in Tang Tian's voice, Tang Jiu directly recounted to him the information Tang Lei and his brother had told him.
Tang Yuehua, seated on the swing, listened quietly. The curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Qian Chengxiao gradually turned into sympathy.
After all, Qian Chengxiao was about the same age as her, yet he had already lost his Father.
And he had never mentioned his Mother, which meant that she had likely passed away long ago as well.
Thinking of her own comfortable, carefree life and comparing it to Qian Chengxiao's tragic background, Tang Yuehua felt deeply sympathetic toward him.
If Qian Chengxiao knew what Tang Yuehua was thinking, he would definitely dismiss it with disdain.
Wasn't it only because I'm handsome that you sympathize with me?
If I were ugly, would you still pity me?
Otherwise, why would there be things like repaying a life-saving favor with one's body, or serving as an ox or horse in the next life?
"Chengxiao, quickly show the Clan Leader your Haotian Hammer Martial Soul. Then he'll believe that you're a descendant of the Haotian Sect."
After Tang Jiu finished explaining Qian Chengxiao's background, he looked at Tang Tian, who was slightly frowning, then turned to Qian Chengxiao.
After all, once he revealed the Haotian Hammer, everything would be resolved.
Everyone on Douluo Continent knew that no one but a descendant of the Haotian Sect could possess the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul.
Tang Jiu had only heard from the Tang Lei brothers that they had personally seen Qian Chengxiao summon the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul. Otherwise, they would never have brought Qian Chengxiao back.
If he had seen it with his own eyes, he would not have been so anxious.
Hearing Tang Jiu's words, Qian Chengxiao said nothing and directly summoned his Second Martial Soul, the Origin of Weapons.
Then, the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul appeared directly in Tang Chengxiao's hand.
Tang Tian, the Haotian Sect Master, had been standing still all this time. When he saw the Haotian Hammer in Qian Chengxiao's hand, his eyes lit up slightly.
Sure enough, this child was a descendant of their Haotian Sect.
After all, one's identity could be forged, but one's Martial Soul could not.
After seeing the Haotian Hammer in Qian Chengxiao's hand, Tang Tian appeared directly before him. Looking at Qian Chengxiao with an excited expression, he asked, "Child, how exactly did your Father die?"
"My Father was killed by people from Spirit Hall."
"I heard Father say that the man seemed to be Spirit Hall's Pope."
"My Mother died at that man's hands as well while protecting me."
As he said this, Qian Chengxiao's eyes filled with fury and hatred.
At the mention of it, Qian Chengxiao's body even began to tremble slightly.
!!!
Tang Tian, standing before Qian Chengxiao, heard his words and felt the killing intent emanating from him. His eyes widened slightly.
After all, the killing intent Qian Chengxiao released came from his desire to kill Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. It could not have felt any more real.
Good, good, good! Excellent! Heaven truly favored him.
He had thought this child was merely a Haotian Sect descendant who had been stranded outside. At such a young age, he already possessed twin Martial Souls, and his Soul Power had reached level twenty-five.
Even his two sons, whom he was so proud of, could not compare to this child in talent.
He had never imagined that Chengxiao's mortal enemy would actually be Chihiro Ji, the Pope of Spirit Hall.
Hahaha, hahaha!
If not for the need to maintain his image and leave a good impression before Qian Chengxiao, Tang Tian would have thrown back his head and laughed wildly.
Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall, you truly did a good deed this time!
Tang Tian forcefully suppressed his laughter before Qian Chengxiao. Before Tang Tian could speak, Qian Chengxiao continued fiercely, "I still remember it. Mother knelt before that man and begged him to spare me because I was only a child."
"Even if he did not care that I was a child, she begged him to spare my life for the sake of their sibling bond, because she was his Younger Sister."
"That was his Younger Sister!"
"How could he bring himself to do it?!"
"Mother..."
At those words, the killing intent around Qian Chengxiao abruptly vanished. His eyes were bloodshot, and tears slowly flowed from his eyes.
Qian Chengxiao's grief-stricken appearance plunged everyone present into silence.
Tang Tian's eyes widened at Qian Chengxiao's words, and his gaze was filled with astonishment.
This... this child was actually the child of Chihiro Ji's younger sister, the Pope of Spirit Hall?
Holy shit! Holy shit!
Just which family in the clan did this child's father come from to be so incredible?
As for Tang Tian worrying that Qian Chengxiao harbored ill intentions?
Heh, how could that be possible?
That was the enemy who had killed his father—and even more so, the enemy who had killed his mother. Chihiro Ji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, was now this child's number one enemy.
And it was a life-or-death blood feud.
When Qian Chengxiao mentioned that his parents had been killed by that person, the killing intent he released had not contained the slightest trace of falsehood.
Chihiro Ji, Chihiro Ji... once this child was nurtured into a Title Douluo, perhaps that would be the day your Spirit Hall was destroyed.
Thinking of this, Tang Tian stood before Qian Chengxiao and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Child, don't worry."
"Your enemy is the enemy of our Clear Sky Sect."
"No one may bully a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Even if it is Spirit Hall, the strongest force on Douluo Continent, it makes no difference."
"Even if the Fierce Beast that killed your parents is the Pope of Spirit Hall, our Clear Sky Sect still has nothing to fear."
"Good child, from now on, this place is your home."
"Cultivate diligently. The day you become a Title Douluo will be the day I lead you to flatten Spirit Hall."
With a sweep of Tang Tian's hand, an imposing aura burst from him.
"Long live the Clan Leader!"
"Long live the Clan Leader!"
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Tang Jiu and Tang Lei looked at the imposing Tang Tian, their eyes shining brightly.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"Chengxiao will definitely cultivate diligently and become a Title Douluo as soon as possible!"
"I will personally avenge my father and mother!"
"This is my own enemy to begin with. I don't want to drag the Clear Sky Sect down with me."
Hearing Qian Chengxiao's words, Tang Tian slapped a hand onto Qian Chengxiao's shoulder. "Good child, what do you mean, yours and mine?"
"You are a disciple of our Clear Sky Sect. From now on, we are family."
"Your enemy is the enemy of our Clear Sky Sect."
"The might of the Clear Sky Sect must never be insulted!"
"Never be insulted! Never be insulted!"
As soon as Tang Tian said this, the Tang Lei brothers were instantly fired up, howling loudly at the side.
Qian Chengxiao looked gratefully at Tang Tian before him. Feeling the passionate, chuunibyou fervor of the Tang Lei brothers beside him, he inwardly complained.
This Tang Tian really knew how to win people over.
What a fine plan that killed three birds with one stone. What methods, what scheming!
No wonder he could become the Clan Leader of the Clear Sky Sect. Sure enough, none of those who became clan leaders were simple.
