Tang Chen: What did our Clear Sky Sect do to deserve brilliant "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Fledglings" like you?
The next day before dawn, Jiang Lan woke up.
He turned over and found that Doro had rolled under the pillow at some point, revealing only a white butt and two short legs hanging out.
Jiang Lan pulled it out from under the pillow, Doro let out a drowsy cry, turned over and continued to sleep.
Jiang Lan ignored it, jumped out of bed, put on the penguin jumpsuit, zipped it up to his neck, buckled the hat on his head, and trotted out of the dormitory.
Bo Saixi is already standing at the door of the Sea God Palace, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and standing next to him is a young Sea Maiden.
"Good morning, mom." Jiang Lan ran over and said hello with a raised face.
Bo Saixi glanced down at him, handed the tea cup to Sea Maiden next to him, turned and walked towards the west.
"Follow up."
Jiang Lan trotted behind him. Doro woke up at some point and chased him out of the dormitory. His short legs clicked on the stone road, and finally he jumped on Jiang Lan's shoulders.
Western Reef Area is not far from the main city, and it only takes half a quarter of an hour to walk along the coastline.
Jiang Lan From a distance, I saw a group of black rocks rising out of the sea, like a row of crooked teeth.
Behind the reef is an arc-shaped stone wall. Under the stone wall, several natural caves have been eroded by the sea water. The cave entrances vary in size. The largest one can accommodate three people walking in side by side.
In front of the rock wall is a flat reef platform, which is larger than Honey Snow Ice City's backyard. There is a natural rock sill on the edge of the reef platform, which blocks the waves and forms a natural haven.
On the side of the platform against the rock wall, there is a stream flowing out of the rock cracks, providing fresh water.
Jiang Lan ran up to the reef platform and turned around. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"This is it." Jiang Lan clapped his hands and turned to shout to Bo Saixi, "Mom, this place is great! The cave can be used as a warehouse and Workshop, the platform outside can be used to place devices, and Shallow Water over there can test underwater Soul Tool."
Bo Saixi stood on the edge of the platform, the sea breeze blowing her long dark blue hair. She looked around and nodded.
"The place is fine," Bo Saixi said, "But the caves need to be tidied up, the moss on the rocks needs to be cleared, and the freshwater streams need to be fenced off to prevent them from being intruded by sea water."
"I'll do it." Jiang Lan patted his chest and already started to figure out which hole to clean up first.
On the other side, Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Chen sat on the chair and rubbed his temples.
Some time ago, he took Tang San and his son back to the Clear Sky Sect to deal with the Clear Sky Sect's affairs.
The main reason was that he had not been back for many years, and because of what Tang Hao said, he was a little worried about the Clear Sky Sect, so he returned to the Clear Sky Sect.
He will not stay at the Clear Sky Sect all his life. After the matter is dealt with, he will still return to Slaughter City.
Dealing with the Clear Sky Sect's affairs, Tang Chen discovered a lot of things.
First of all, the four major clans are gone.
He really knew the importance of the four major clans to the Clear Sky Sect, but in the end, all four major clans ran away.
Reason for mountain closure?
Shit, it was entirely because the Clear Sky Sect clan leader was incompetent at that time, otherwise the four major clans would not have run away.
Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu over there, so Clear Sky Sect cannot be destroyed.
What's more important is that in the eyes of the outside world, I was traveling outside. No matter what, nothing big happened to the Clear Sky Sect.
No force would dare to bet on what a level 99 Titled Douluo without any worries would do.
"Grandpa, does your head feel uncomfortable?" Tang Yuehua came behind Tang Chen and gently massaged Tang Chen's head.
Tang Chen closed his eyes, feeling the strength of Tang Yuehua's fingertips, and his tense brows slowly relaxed a little.
"Yuehua, your method is exactly the same as your grandma's back then." Tang Chen's voice was a little softer than usual, and the anger developed in Slaughter City was much restrained in front of her granddaughter.
Tang Yuehua didn't answer, but continued to press Tang Chen's temple, sliding his fingertips from the center of his eyebrows to behind his ears, using neither light nor heavy force.
She knew what grandpa was thinking.
Over the past few days, Tang Chen has been looking through the Clear Sky Sect's files, and the more he looks at them, the uglier his face is. The files concerning the separation of the four major clans are placed at the top, Strength Clan, Speed Clan, Breaking Clan, and Defense Clan. The four documents of separation are neat and tidy, with many signatures and seals.
Tang Yuehua sighed and said softly, "Grandpa, you are not to blame for what happened to the four major clans. You were at Slaughter City at that time, and you didn't know what was going on outside."
"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not." Tang Chen opened his eyes, with complex emotions surging in his eyes, "Clear Sky Sect Something happened. If I, the head of the family, are not here, the sect will not be able to suppress it, so people will run away. The responsibility lies with me."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the sea of clouds billowing between the mountains.
Clear Sky Sect is located deep in the Heaven Dou Empire mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The mountains are steep. Our ancestors chose to establish their clan here because the terrain was dangerous enough to block the army.
But now Tang Chen stands here and looks out, only feeling that those dangerous peaks are an eyesore.
"Go and call Tang Hao." Tang Chen said.
Tang Yuehua responded, turned around and walked out of the room.
Not long after, Tang Hao strode in.
He changed into a clean gray cloth robe, his hair was combed, and his beard was shaved. He was much more energetic than before, but there was still a bit of fatigue on his bronze face.
Tang Hao was followed by Tang Yuehua, who looked at Tang Hao with a distressed expression.
Tang Chen:"..."
At this moment, Tang Chen felt that Clear Sky Sect was hopeless.
Tang San stole something from a child and was hit by a child's trap.
Tang Hao fell in love with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. He tricked his wife to death for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Later, he tried to snatch something from a child, but was beaten by the child.
Tang Yuehua, he originally thought that she was Clear Sky Sect one of the most normal people, but he didn't expect that she actually liked his own brother.
I, Clear Sky Sect, how can I have such a sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks like you?
Tang Chen sat on the chair, looking at Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua standing in front of him, feeling that his heart, which had been worn down by Slaughter City for decades, began to ache.
"Sit." Tang Chen pointed to the chair opposite.
Tang Hao sat down, and Tang Yuehua stood behind him with his hands on the back of the chair without sitting down.
"Yuehua." Tang Chen said.
Tang Yuehua raised his head. "Grandpa."
"You sit down too."
Tang Yuehua hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Tang Hao, with his hands folded on his knees, his posture impeccable and dignified.
Tang Chen looked at her, then at Tang Hao's clueless wooden face, and suddenly felt his head hurt even more.
"What do you think about the four major clans?" Tang Chen asked.
Tang Yuehua thought for a while and said, "Strength Clan had the closest relationship with us back then. When they left, the leader of the Tai Tan clan left a letter, saying that after the clan closed the mountain and there was no hope, he took the clan members to find another way out. The other three clans have similar reasons."
