Do You Have Any Shame?

When Tang Tian said "going back," he naturally meant returning to the Tang Family in Starfall City!

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

They were 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 to kill him!

Fifteen years ago, the Tang Family and the Qin Family had formed a marriage alliance, arranging a childhood betrothal between Tang Tian, the Tang Family's young master, and Qin Yuexi, the Qin Family's eldest daughter.

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

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

He had always admired Qin Yuexi and bitterly resented this marriage arrangement, constantly seeking a chance to get rid of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian shook his head and sighed. "They have already been destroyed in body and soul. That counts as avenging you."

From this day onward, 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.

Relying on his memories, Tang Tian entered through the city gates and strolled unhurriedly toward the Tang Family.

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

As for this useless young master, who in the Tang Family did not know him?

At fifteen years old, he was still only at the middle stage of the Meridian Refining Realm. He was clearly trash!

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

The two guards showed not the slightest reverence toward Tang Tian, the Lineage Head's son. One of them, a rather burly guard, sneered. "Young Master, it would be best if you did not go in right now."

"Oh?"

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

The original Tang Family's young master had been weak in appearance but stubborn at heart.

Tang Tian had been a respected alchemist in his previous life. Naturally, his temperament differed from that of the original "Tang Tian."

"The Lineage Head is entertaining the Qin Family Head and the Qin Family's eldest daughter. If Young Master goes in now, I'm afraid you'll only bring humiliation upon yourself..."

The other guard, tall and thin, cast Tang Tian a sidelong glance, his mockery plain for all to see.

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

A guard at the High Blood-Burning Realm dared to be this overbearing and arrogant, looking down on everyone?

The two guards' gazes were full of disdain. They simply did not regard a useless young master as worth noticing.

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

Having been reborn in the body of a useless good-for-nothing, Tang Tian had already been extremely displeased. Now that he had encountered these dogs who looked down on people, how could he endure it?

After opening one hundred and eight Hidden Meridians, the primordial power 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 grabbed him by the neck and smashed him viciously into the ground.

With a thunderous boom, even the ground trembled.

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

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

Tang Tian tossed the guard in his hand onto the ground as though throwing away a dead dog, then said calmly, "I'm teaching you a lesson so you understand what it means for rank and status to be kept in proper order. A guard should have the awareness of a guard."

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

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Tian stomped him viciously beneath his foot again, causing blood to spray wildly.

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

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

As it happened, the former "Tang Tian" had received no shortage 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 nominal father in this life was receiving the Qin Family Head and his nominal fiancée?

But Tang Tian did not take it to heart. Having lived a second life, all he wanted was to raise his cultivation and return to his original world to avenge himself!

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

But halfway there, an old man in gray suddenly flashed before Tang Tian and blocked his path.

"Young Master, the Lineage Head has instructed 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 low and hoarse. His eyes were clouded, and he leaned on a pitch-black cane.

"Oh... all right. Thank you for the trouble, 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 his surname was Li.

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

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

At the head sat Tang Lingyun, the Tang Family Head. He had a square face and an imposing air even without showing anger.

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

Seated on the lower left was a gaunt middle-aged man, with two thin mustaches at the corners of his lips. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he said nothing 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, at the middle stage of the Organs-Hiding Realm.

On the right sat a broad, powerfully built middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce appearance. He was none other than Qin Tiande, the Qin Family Head.

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, if we continue sitting here drinking tea, we will merely be killing time. Let us open the skylight and speak plainly. I brought my daughter here today to annul the engagement!"

Qin Tiande's expression was indifferent.

Tang Lingyun raised a brow. He had already guessed their purpose when they came to his door, but he had not expected them to be so utterly merciless.

His son, Tang Tian, was the infamous trash of all Starfall City.

It was only natural that he would face an annulment.

But if the engagement were annulled, the Tang Family's dignity—and the dignity of both father and son—would be utterly cast away.

"Brother Qin, you and my elder brother once shared friendship through hardship and adversity, which was why this childhood betrothal was arranged. If you annul it now merely because my nephew's cultivation is lacking, would that not also damage the Qin Family's reputation?"

Before Tang Lingyun could speak, Tang Xiaohai said coldly.

Qin Yuexi hurriedly said, "If the engagement is not annulled, the only ones who will be mocked in Starfall City will be my Qin Family. If his cultivation were merely poor, that would be one thing, but he is outright trash! How could anyone bear that? How could the man of I, Qin Yuexi, possibly be a piece of trash that others laugh at?"

"Impudence!"

Qin Tiande rebuked her, yet the smile on his face held no trace of blame. "You speak without restraint. Why don't you hurry and apologize to Lineage Head Tang?"

At that moment, a calm voice rang out in the hall.

"Do you have any shame?"
