Aunt and Nephew Reunite

After Tang Yuehua came outside, she naturally saw Tang San still arguing with the gatekeeper.

Tang Yuehua walked over to the two of them and said,

"Stop arguing. Don't disturb the others' rest."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper looked at Tang Yuehua. Once he recognized her, he hurriedly said,

"My lady, it's this man. He came knocking on the door in the middle of the night and claimed to be your nephew, saying you were his aunt. One look at him dressed like a beggar told me that couldn't possibly be true, so I was about to drive him away."

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San, at this man with one broken arm and wounds all over his body.

Then she asked,

"You say you're my nephew. Then who are you? And who told you to come find me?"

Upon hearing Tang Yuehua and the gatekeeper's words, along with what Tang Yuehua had said to him, Tang San guessed that this elegantly dressed woman before him was likely the aunt his father had mentioned, Tang Yuehua.

Thus, Tang San hurriedly said,

"Aunt, my name is Tang San. My father is Tang Hao. Two days ago, we were hunted by people from Spirit Hall. In order to buy me time to escape, Father stayed behind alone to stop them and let me flee. He also told me to come to Heaven Dou City, find Tang Yuehua at Moonlight Pavilion, and find my aunt."

Tang San then looked at his broken arm and his battered body before continuing,

"On my way here, I was hunted by Spirit Hall again. My left arm was broken. When I reached the gates of Heaven Dou City, I was bullied as well. After finally making it into the city and going through all sorts of hardships to reach Moonlight Pavilion, I was even harassed by the gatekeeper. Aunt, you have to stand up for me!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Yuehua was startled as she looked at his clothes and the injuries covering his body.

However, Tang Yuehua did not fully believe Tang San's identity yet. Although she had opened Moonlight Pavilion in Heaven Dou City and appeared to have gained a foothold, Tang Yuehua knew clearly that her identity was an open secret in the eyes of both Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. They all knew she was from the Clear Sky Sect.

The reason they had not come to trouble her was because her Martial Soul was not the Clear Sky Hammer, and because she could only ever possess level-nine Soul Power. Furthermore, due to the special nature of her Martial Soul, she could help the children of Heaven Dou City's nobles cultivate proper etiquette, which was why no one had come after her.

But that was no reason for Tang Yuehua to lower her guard. She feared that the person before her might be from Spirit Hall or another force, someone sent to gain her trust and then seek out the reclusive members of the Clear Sky Sect.

So Tang Yuehua asked Tang San,

"You say you're the son of my second brother, Tang Hao. Then what proof do you have? I cannot believe you based on your words alone."

Hearing this, Tang San froze for a moment, then began thinking about what evidence he had to prove his identity. After all, Tang Hao had only recently told him that he was from the Clear Sky Sect and sent him to find his aunt, Tang Yuehua.

At that moment, Tang San suddenly remembered that he could prove it through his Martial Soul. He had a hammer Martial Soul as well. Based on what he knew, along with seeing Tang Hao use the same Martial Soul before, Tang San realized that his hammer Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

So, in the next moment, Tang San said in order to prove his identity,

"Aunt, I can prove it with my Martial Soul."

After saying that, Tang San extended his right hand and prepared to summon his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. However, whether deliberately or intentionally, Tang San first caused his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to appear in his hand. Only in the next instant did he withdraw the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and summon the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul into his hand.

It was displayed before Tang Yuehua.

As for why he had summoned Blue Silver Grass first, it was to tell this aunt he was meeting for the first time that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, hoping to attract Tang Yuehua's attention. Tang San did not dare imagine how he would live in the future if Tang Yuehua and the Clear Sky Sect refused to acknowledge him, which was why he chose to reveal his Twin Martial Souls.

Seeing the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul flash into view before Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Tang Yuehua was shocked. Once she saw the Clear Sky Hammer, she knew that the person before her was her second brother Tang Hao's son—her nephew.

But Tang Yuehua had not expected her nephew to possess Twin Martial Souls, nor had she expected him to dare reveal his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in front of outsiders. She had not expected Tang San to prove his identity in this way.

Tang Yuehua then looked at the equally stunned gatekeeper beside her, and her heart sank. This gatekeeper was not from the Clear Sky Sect; he had merely been hired in Heaven Dou City. In order to prevent the exposure of her nephew's Twin Martial Souls and the fact that a Clear Sky Hammer had appeared at Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua looked toward the two Clear Sky Sect members protecting her in the shadows and gave them a meaningful glance.

The two understood Tang Yuehua's meaning. Even if she had said nothing, they would not have spared someone who had seen Tang San possess Twin Martial Souls and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. After all, the Clear Sky Sect's safety took priority over everything else.

After confirming that Tang San was her nephew, Tang Yuehua no longer cared about his disheveled appearance. She pulled him into an embrace and said through tears,

"Child, you're home now. You won't have to suffer anymore with your aunt. I've been searching for you and your father for so long, and I've finally found you. From now on, Aunt will take care of you."

Tang San was caught off guard by Tang Yuehua's sudden warmth, but he could feel that her words were sincere. He also felt a motherly love from Tang Yuehua that he had never experienced before. Coupled with the tremendous ups and downs of this period and the humiliation he had suffered, tears fell from the corners of Tang San's eyes.

Afterward, Tang Yuehua came back to her senses and released Tang San. Looking at his current condition, she took his hand and led him into Moonlight Pavilion. She immediately arranged for someone to help Tang San wash up properly and had food prepared for him. When she noticed the black-robed bundle Tang San held like a treasure, she did not know what it was, but seeing how much Tang San valued it, she took out a five-cubic-meter Storage Ring and told Tang San to put his things inside.

Seeing this, Tang San was deeply moved once more.

After Tang San had washed up and finished eating, Tang Yuehua saw that his eyes were still filled with exhaustion. She did not question him further and simply sent Tang San to rest.
