Parting Ways: Tang San Returns to the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao Takes an Adopted Daughter

Tang San said firmly, "We'll cultivate separately, each becoming stronger, and then come back to settle the score when we're strong enough to stand up to him."

He had already planned to go to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge his ancestors, Dai Mubai could go to the Star Luo Empire, and as for Oscar and Ma Hongjun, those two burdens, they were to fend for themselves.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were clearly unwilling to obey Tang San's arrangements, questioning, "How can we cultivate separately? At our level, how are we supposed to hunt powerful Soul Beast to obtain high-quality Soul Ring?"

"Yes, separating is not a good idea; we should unite!"

Oscar also said urgently.

Tang San ignored them completely and asked Dai Mubai, "Mubai, what do you think?"

Dai Mubai paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going back to the Star Luo Empire. Although I'm not well-received by the Star Luo Imperial Family, it's still better than wandering outside. You... go your separate ways. Once you've cultivated to a strong enough level, you can come back and settle this score with Meng Chen."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Take care.

Dai Mubai left after saying only this one sentence, fearing that Oscar and Ma Hongjun would entangle him.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were clearly taken aback by Dai Mubai's decisive departure and were stunned on the spot.

They turned their gaze to Tang San.

The Xiao San probably has nowhere to go back to, right? Yu Xiaogang is currently courting death, so the Xiao San will likely stay with them, won't she?

Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He could let things slide before, but now, it seemed that Xiao San could help him solve his Martial Soul problem.

Aside from Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life.

So he didn't mind at all, after all, he wasn't like Oscar and Dai Mubai, who had handsome faces.

"Little... Third Brother, please don't separate from us. Let's all stay together."

Ma Hongjun asked very enthusiastically.

Tang San didn't know why, but he felt a chill run down his spine despite Ma Hongjun's enthusiasm.

"I... I have somewhere to go now. That's all for now. We'll meet again someday."

After saying that, Tang San left in a hurry.

His legs were still weak when he stood up, but he forced himself to stand up straight and resolutely left.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were left alone in the room, stunned.

"Holy crap! How could they do this?!"

Some time later, Oscar suddenly erupted in anger.

"Exactly! They clearly look down on us. If Dean Flender were still here, would they act like this?"

Ma Hongjun also cursed angrily. For the first time, he felt what it meant to be forgotten after someone leaves, and he couldn't help but hate Meng Chen even more.

Because he remembered Tang San's now stunningly beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but be moved and couldn't bring himself to hate Tang San.

After leaving the hotel, Tang San first bought a decent set of clothes, then hired a carriage and drove straight to the small mountain village where the Clear Sky Sect was located, three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.

"Miss, please slow down."

The young coachman helped Tang San down from the carriage. Even the brief moment of holding hands stirred the coachman's heart, and he even undercharged Tang San.

Young Tang San got off the carriage and looked at the small mountain village in front of him, feeling a deep sadness welling up in his heart.

In his awakened memories, he felt sorrow for the once-great sect in the world that had fallen to such a state of decline; now, however, he feels sorrow for himself.

Because in his past life he was full of vigor and ambition, now...

Tang San walked into the village, and unsurprisingly, he was stopped at the village entrance.

Before the villagers who stopped him could even ask him any questions, Tang San directly brandished his Clear Sky Hammer: "Hello, I'm here to... acknowledge my ancestors."

Looking at the dark but imposing hammer, the villagers' amazement was replaced by respect. They respectfully invited Tang San into an empty house and then went to report to him.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar empty house before him, Tang San sighed and couldn't help but lie down on the empty bed in the room, reminiscing about the time when he had been a tyrant in his previous life.

"A girl claiming to be a long-lost member of our Clear Sky Sect has come to our door to acknowledge her ancestry?"

Tang Xiao frowned.

The disciple who came to report replied, "Yes, Sect Master."

"Then please ask her to come over."

Tang Xiao answered calmly.

When the Clear Sky Sect decided to close its doors to the world due to pressure from the Spirit Hall, it caused a period of chaos, and it is indeed possible that some of the sect's bloodline members were left behind.

But I wonder whose child it is?

Tang Xiao lowered his head in deep thought.

About 15 minutes later, Tang San was brought before Tang Xiao.

"Sect Master, the person has been brought."

"Um."

Tang Xiao looked up, initially just glancing casually, but when Tang San's face came into view, he was so shocked that he stood up, his face full of astonishment.

Ah Yin?!

The girl standing before him bore an uncanny resemblance to Ah Yin, so much so that she overlapped with the image of Ah Yin in his mind, transporting him back to bygone days.

That was during his early teenage years, when he was involved in a love triangle with his younger brother.

"Tang San greets the Sect Master."

Tang San bowed.

Tang Xiao Tang Xiao the deep respect a junior would show to a senior for the courtesy between peers, and he also misheard the respectful words a junior would use to a senior.

"Hello, Brother Tang Xiao, I am Ah Yin."

Good heavens, are you playing a cruel joke on me? Why have I seen her again in my middle age?

"You say you are a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect who has been separated from your family?"

As the leader of a sect, Tang Xiao quickly calmed himself down, sat back down, and asked Tang San.

But his gaze lingered on Tang San's face.

They look so alike, so incredibly alike, that Tang Xiao almost mistook one for his own daughter.

Tang San nodded. Because he didn't want to be antagonized by the Clear Sky Sect, he decided not to reveal his true background.

"Sect Master, look, this is my Martial Soul."

Tang San's left and right hands lit up with light, his left hand holding the Blue Silver Emperor and his right hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer.

With Twin Martial Souls, I should be able to gain enough attention from the Clear Sky Sect, right?

With this little trick in mind, Tang San immediately revealed two Martial Soul.

Tang Xiao was even more shocked to see such Twin Martial Souls. He had just sat down but stood up again, and even walked step by step to Tang San. He reached out with trembling hands to touch the Clear Sky Hammer on Tang San's right hand, but just before he touched it, he withdrew as if he had been burned.

Tang Xiao's eyes were blurry with tears.

God, even if you're playing a trick on me, I'll accept it willingly.

"Tang San, I have never married. Would you be willing to recognize me as your godfather?"

Tang Xiao suddenly said this to Tang San.

Tang San was taken aback, not expecting his uncle to say such a thing.

However, in that case, he would likely be more valued by the sect.

Tang San immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Godfather."

Tang Xiao was immediately overjoyed, tears welling in his eyes as he helped Tang San up, saying, "Good, good daughter, promise your father that from now on you will use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right, forever."

Tang San was surprised that his uncle would say the same thing to him, but that didn't stop him from solemnly replying, "I understand, Godfather."

He suddenly felt a true sense of fatherhood towards his uncle in front of him.
