Aunt and Niece Reunited

After Tang Yuehua stepped outside, she naturally spotted Tang San still arguing with the doorman.

Tang Yuehua walked up to the two of them and spoke, "Stop arguing. Don't disturb the rest of others."

When the doorman heard this, he looked toward Tang Yuehua. Upon realizing it was her, he hurriedly said, "My Lady, it's this person. He came here in the middle of the night, banging on the door and claiming to be your nephew. I took one look at his beggar-like appearance and knew it was impossible, so I was just about to chase him away."

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San, observing the man with the severed arm and a body covered in wounds.

She then asked, "You say you are my nephew, then who are you? And who sent you to find me?"

Hearing the exchange between Tang Yuehua and the doorman, combined with her question, Tang San guessed that this elegantly dressed person before him must be Tang Yuehua, the aunt his father had spoken of.

Therefore, Tang San hurriedly replied, "Aunt, my name is Tang San. My father is Tang Hao. Two days ago, we were hunted by people from Spirit Hall. To buy me time to escape, Father stayed behind to hold them off alone and told me to flee. He also told me to come to Heaven Dou City to find Tang Yuehua at the Moon Pavilion—to find my aunt."

Tang San then looked at his severed arm and his entire body before continuing, "On my way here, I encountered more of Spirit Hall's pursuers. My left arm was broken, and when I reached the gates of Heaven Dou City, I was bullied. After all the hardships I faced to reach the entrance of the Moon Pavilion, I was even harassed by the doorman. Aunt, you must uphold justice for me!"

Upon hearing Tang San's words and seeing his attire and injuries, Tang Yuehua felt a jolt of shock in her heart.

However, Tang Yuehua did not fully believe Tang San's identity yet. Although she had established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City and seemed to have gained a foothold, she knew clearly that her identity was transparent to both Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire; they all knew she was from the Clear Sky Sect.

The reason they did not cause trouble for her was that her martial soul was not the Clear Sky Hammer, her soul power was capped at level nine for life, and because of the unique nature of her martial soul, she could help cultivate etiquette in the children of the nobility in Heaven Dou City. That was why no one bothered her.

But this was no reason for Tang Yuehua to lower her guard. She feared that the person before her might be an agent of Spirit Hall or another faction, sent to gain her trust in order to locate the reclusive Clear Sky Sect.

Thus, Tang Yuehua asked Tang San, "You say you are the son of my second brother, Tang Hao, but what proof do you have? I cannot believe you based on your words alone."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, racking his brain for proof of his identity. After all, it was only recently that his father, Tang Hao, had told him he was of the Clear Sky Sect and instructed him to find his aunt.

Just then, it dawned on Tang San that he could use his martial soul as proof. He possessed a hammer martial soul, and based on his understanding and the same martial soul he had seen his father use, he was certain his was the Clear Sky Hammer.

In the next second, to prove his identity, Tang San said, "Aunt, I can use my martial soul to prove it."

After speaking, Tang San extended his right hand, preparing to summon his Clear Sky Hammer. Whether it was intentional or not, Tang San first manifested his Blue Silver Grass in his palm, and only a second later did he retract it to summon the Clear Sky Hammer into his hand.

He displayed it before Tang Yuehua's eyes.

As for summoning the Blue Silver Grass first, it was to let this aunt he was meeting for the first time know that he was a twin-soul genius, hoping to garner her importance. Tang San dared not imagine what his future would be like if he were rejected by Tang Yuehua and the Clear Sky Sect, which was why he chose to reveal his twin martial souls.

Seeing the flash of Blue Silver Grass followed by the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Yuehua was startled. Upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer, she knew for certain that the person before her was indeed the son of her second brother, Tang Hao—her nephew.

Yet, Tang Yuehua had not expected her nephew to possess twin martial souls, nor had she expected him to be so bold as to reveal his Clear Sky Hammer in front of an outsider. She had not anticipated Tang San would use such a method to prove himself.

Tang Yuehua then looked at the doorman standing nearby, who was also stunned, and her heart sank. This doorman was not from the Clear Sky Sect; he had been hired in Heaven Dou City. To prevent the secret of her nephew's twin martial souls and the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer at the Moon Pavilion from leaking, Tang Yuehua signaled the two Clear Sky Sect members protecting her from the shadows.

The two men understood her intent. Even if she hadn't signaled, they would not have let someone who had seen a twin-soul user with a Clear Sky Hammer walk away; the safety of the Clear Sky Sect was above all else.

Once Tang Yuehua confirmed Tang San was her nephew, she disregarded his disheveled state, pulled him into an embrace, and said with a tearful voice, "Child, you are home. You won't have to suffer anymore now that you're with your aunt. I have searched for you and your father for so long; I have 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 felt the sincerity in her words. He sensed a motherly love he had never experienced before. Combined with the emotional roller coaster of the recent period and the bullying he had endured, tears welled up in Tang San's eyes.

After regaining her composure, Tang Yuehua released Tang San. Seeing his current state, she took his hand and led him into the Moon Pavilion. She immediately arranged for people to help him wash up and prepare a meal. During this time, she noticed the object Tang San had been clutching like a treasure, wrapped in a black robe. Though she didn't know what it was, seeing how much he valued it, she produced a five-cubic-meter storage ring for him to keep it in.

Seeing this, Tang San was moved once again.

After Tang San finished washing up and eating, Tang Yuehua saw the exhaustion still lingering in his eyes and, without asking any further questions, sent him straight to rest.
