Have You No Shame?

The "going back" Tang Tian spoke of naturally meant the Tang Family in Starfall City!

With all the memories of this body, he now had a clear understanding of Starfall City.

He was currently at the edge of Starfall Forest, a hundred li outside Starfall City.

The reason was that the fat man called "Young Master Lin," Lin Baoquan, had kidnapped the original Tang Tian from Starfall City and brought him here solely to kill him!

Fifteen years ago, the Tang Family and the Qin Family had entered into a marriage alliance. Tang Tian, the Tang Family's young master, and Qin Yuexi, the Qin Family's eldest young miss, had been betrothed as children.

Starfall City had four great families—the Tang Family, Qin Family, Lin Family, and Ye Family—each evenly matched.

Lin Baoquan was the Lin Family's third young master.

He had long harbored affection for Qin Yuexi and resented this marriage arrangement, always seeking an opportunity to get rid of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian shook his head and sighed. "Their bodies and souls have both been destroyed. Consider it vengeance for you."

From this day forward, Tang Tian would live in this world under "his" identity!

Starfall City was not particularly vast or prosperous. At least in Tang Tian's eyes, it was merely a small city, carrying a trace of age and rustic antiquity.

Following his memories, Tang Tian entered through the city gates and leisurely made his way toward the Tang Family.

When the two guards at the Tang Family's entrance saw Tang Tian return, unconcealed contempt filled their eyes.

Who in the entire Tang Family did not know about this useless young master?

At fifteen, he was only in the Middle Meridian Refining Realm. He was plainly a piece of trash!

In this world where strength reigned supreme, weakness was the original sin that made others look down on you!

The two guards showed not the slightest reverence toward Tang Tian, the patriarch's son. One of them, a rather burly guard, sneered. "Young Master, you'd best not go in right now."

"Oh?"

Tang Tian saw the attitude of the two guards clearly. Combined with his memories, he was not surprised in the least.

The original young master of the Tang Family had been outwardly frail but inwardly unyielding.

In his previous life, Tang Tian had been an alchemist revered by all. Naturally, his temperament and character differed from the original "Tang Tian."

"The patriarch is receiving the Qin Family patriarch and the Qin Family's eldest young miss. If Young Master goes in now, I'm afraid you'll only bring humiliation upon yourself..."

The other guard, thin and tall, cast a sidelong glance at Tang Tian, his mockery laid bare.

Perhaps because of his rebirth, Tang Tian's soul was exceptionally powerful. He could actually discern the cultivation of the two guards before him.

A High Blood-Burning Realm guard dared to be this arrogant and lawless, this blind to everyone else?

The two guards looked at him with contempt, not taking this useless young master seriously at all.

Just as they were about to prattle on, the burly guard suddenly felt his neck tighten.

Having been reborn into a useless body, Tang Tian had already been in a foul mood. Now that he had encountered people who looked down on others like dogs staring at humans, how could he possibly endure it?

After opening one hundred and eight Hidden Meridians, the primordial energy contained within his body already surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at the same level by dozens of times.

With Tang Tian's current strength, fighting an ordinary High Blood-Burning Realm cultivator was no problem at all.

Before the burly guard could react, Tang Tian had already seized him by the neck and smashed him viciously into the ground.

Boom! The ground itself trembled with the enormous crash.

The other guard stared at the violent Tang Tian before him, already dumbstruck.

He truly could not understand it. A useless Meridian Refining Realm cultivator had utterly crushed a High Blood-Burning Realm cultivator?

Tang Tian tossed the guard in his hand to the ground as if throwing away a dead dog, then said calmly, "I'll teach you a lesson so you understand what it means for rank and station to be properly ordered. A guard should have the awareness of a guard."

"We... we're Young Master Feng's men. You... you'll regret this... Aah!"

Before he could finish, Tang Tian stomped him viciously beneath his foot again, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.

A cold glint flashed in Tang Tian's eyes. The "Young Master Feng" they spoke of was Tang Feng, the son of his paternal uncle.

Tang Feng was one year older than him, yet he had already reached the Mid-Stage Bone-Forging Realm. Even in Starfall City, he possessed exceptionally outstanding talent!

As it happened, the original "Tang Tian" had received no small amount of Tang Feng's "care."

The other guard trembled from head to toe. How could he still dare to make a move?

Tang Tian could not be bothered to waste time on such people. He had just learned that his cheap father in this life was receiving the Qin Family patriarch and his nominal fiancée?

However, Tang Tian did not take it to heart. Having been given a second life, he only wanted to raise his cultivation and return to his original world to avenge his hatred and settle his grievances!

Fortunate enough to live again and arrive at a "new" home, he was in an excellent mood. He would first return to his residence and sleep.

Halfway there, an old man in gray suddenly flashed in front of Tang Tian, blocking his path.

"Young Master, the patriarch asked this old servant to inform you that you should go to the main hall."

The old man in gray was slightly hunched over. His voice was low and hoarse, his eyes clouded, and he leaned on a pitch-black cane.

"Oh... all right. Thank you, Grandpa Li."

Tang Tian nodded. From the original memories, the old man before him was his father's most loyal attendant. No one knew his name; they only knew that his surname was Li.

No one noticed that when the old man in gray saw him, a sharp gleam flashed through his clouded eyes.

A group of people sat in the Tang Family's main hall.

At the head sat Tang Lingyun, the Tang Family patriarch. His square face carried an authority that did not require anger.

He was the Tang Family's foremost expert, with cultivation at the Middle Soul-Emergence Realm.

On the left below him sat a lean middle-aged man. Two thin mustaches adorned his upper lip, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he remained silent as he lowered his head to savor the fragrant tea in his cup.

This man was Tang Tian's uncle, Tang Feng's father, Tang Xiaohai, whose cultivation was at the Middle Organs-Hiding Realm.

On the right sat a burly middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce appearance. He was none other than Qin Tiande, the Qin Family patriarch.

Behind him stood a beautiful young girl, pride shining in her lovely eyes as though she had never placed anyone or anything in her sights.

She was the Qin Family's favored daughter, Qin Yuexi.

"Brother Tang, continuing to sit here drinking tea is nothing more than wasting time. Let us open the skylight and speak plainly. I brought my daughter here today to break off the engagement!"

Qin Tiande's expression was indifferent.

Tang Lingyun raised a brow. When the other party had come to his door, he had already guessed their purpose, but he had not expected them to be so utterly merciless.

His son Tang Tian was the famously useless young master of all Starfall City.

It was only natural that he would face a broken engagement.

But if the engagement were broken, the Tang Family's reputation, as well as the reputation of both father and son, would be utterly cast away.

"Brother Qin, you and my elder brother once shared a friendship forged through hardship. That was why this childhood engagement was arranged. If you break off the engagement just because my nephew's cultivation is lacking, the Qin Family's reputation will not look good either, will it?"

Before Tang Lingyun could speak, Tang Xiaohai said coldly.

Qin Yuexi rushed to say, "If the engagement is not broken, then the only ones ridiculed in Starfall City will be my Qin Family. It would be one thing if his cultivation were merely lacking, but he is a complete piece of trash! How could anyone bear that? How could the man of I, Qin Yuexi, possibly be a useless trash whom everyone mocks?"

"Insolence!"

Qin Tiande barked a rebuke, yet the smile on his face carried not the slightest hint of blame. "You speak without restraint. Hurry and apologize to Patriarch Tang."

At that moment, a calm voice sounded through the main hall.

"Have you no shame?"
