Tang Yuehua: It was clearly that little beast Tang San's fault. How could my second brother be dragged into it!

"Grandfather is in Slaughter City? How is that possible!"

Tang Yuehua steadied herself, only now processing what she had heard.

Naturally, she knew of Slaughter City.

It was a den of degenerates, known to the outside world as the "Criminals' Paradise."

And her brother Tang Hao was one of the few survivors who had successfully left Slaughter City.

Yet Tang Yuehua had never heard Tang Hao mention anything like this.

In truth, the Clear Sky Sect had never given up searching for Tang Chen all these years.

They believed that once they brought Tang Chen back, the Clear Sky Sect would no longer need to fear Spirit Hall and could reclaim its former glory.

"To think the illustrious Tang Chen would meet his downfall somewhere like Slaughter City."

Ning Fengzhi felt a touch of melancholy. And he even died at his own great-grandson's hands. What a family tragedy!

When Tang Chen had led the Clear Sky Sect, it had truly lived up to being the Number One Sect Under Heaven.

Now, it could only be said that the sect no longer deserved the title.

It held the title of Number One Sect Under Heaven without the strength or prestige to match.

Even though Tang Chen had vanished years ago without a trace.

Spirit Hall still feared his reputation and dared not go too far.

After all, the man Tang Hao had killed was Spirit Hall's previous Pope, the only son of its Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu.

It would have been perfectly understandable for Spirit Hall to destroy the Clear Sky Sect over that.

Yet the Clear Sky Sect had merely expelled Tang Hao permanently and sealed itself off.

That hardly qualified as paying a price.

Of course, that was only Ning Fengzhi's own opinion.

He had no idea that Qian Xunji had actually died at Bibi Dong's hands.

Tang Hao had simply taken the blame for Bibi Dong.

Tang Hao himself probably knew nothing about that either.

The only reason Spirit Hall had not exterminated the Clear Sky Sect was that Qian Daoliu valued their old ties.

One could only say that Qian Daoliu truly deserved to be called the most decent man on the Douluo Continent. Even after all that, he had not taken his anger out on the Clear Sky Sect, and he had even allowed Bibi Dong, his son's killer, to ascend to the throne of Spirit Hall Pope.

[Tang San poisoned his own great-grandfather precisely to obtain the Asura God's divine position.]

[Tang Chen had already completed eight of the Asura God's Nine Trials. Through the Asura God's own behind-the-scenes manipulation, that progress was transferred straight to Tang San.]

[For the final trial, he did not even bother keeping up appearances. All it required was gaining the approval of the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Demon Sword.]

[As the Asura God's exclusive Super Divine Artifact, whether the Asura Demon Sword approved of someone was entirely up to the Asura God, wasn't it?]

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances, both wearing strange expressions.

The Asura God's double standards really were a bit much.

Just look at how Tang San and Ning Wen were treated compared with Tang Chen.

Ning Wen had only received the blessing of innate 20th-level soul power so far, so they could set him aside for now.

But Tang San had practically won without lifting a finger.

He had done nothing but poison the King of Slaughter, then inherited the Asura God's divine position through the god's behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Tang Chen, on the other hand, had painstakingly completed the first eight Asura trials, only for all his efforts to benefit his killer.

And the person who killed Tang Chen was his own great-grandson.

Calling Tang Chen's fate tragic hardly did it justice!

Meanwhile, Tang Yuehua stood frozen beside them.

Tang San poisoned his own great-grandfather precisely to obtain the Asura God's divine position.

Those words kept echoing in her mind.

Tang Chen's direct descendants consisted of her and her two brothers.

Her eldest brother and she herself were still unmarried.

In other words, this beast named Tang San was very likely her second brother's son.

How could she possibly accept that!

Impossible. This is absolutely impossible. It has to be a lie!

Tang Yuehua's pupils trembled as she stared fixedly at Ning Wen, straining with all her might to deny this cruel truth.

What shattered her even further was that the words vanished the moment they reached her lips.

Watching Tang Yuehua's face shift from ashen to pale, then fill with despair, Ning Wen was utterly baffled.

What has gotten into this woman!

Could she hear my Voice Pack?

But that doesn't make sense either!

If Tang Yuehua really could hear it, she should have come straight over and confronted me.

After all, various details in the original story showed that Tang Yuehua was utterly obsessed with her brother.

The object of that obsession was her second brother, Tang Hao.

Tang Yuehua had remained unmarried all her life and was also exceptionally indulgent toward Tang Hao's son, Tang San.

And when it came to brainwashing, the Clear Sky Sect could rival Shrek Academy ten thousand years later.

Every member of the sect placed its interests and honor above all else.

Even Tang Hao, that bastard who liked bullying those weaker than himself, was no exception.

Tang Yuehua had likely remained in the Heaven Dou Imperial City as Pavilion Master of the Moonlight Pavilion, the Heaven Dou Empire's Court Etiquette Academy, to gather outside intelligence for the Clear Sky Sect and build connections with the nobility.

[Still, that all happens in the future. This Seat has returned through rebirth. In this life, Tang San is destined never to obtain the Asura God's divine position.]

[When This Seat visits Slaughter City, perhaps I can try letting Tang Chen out.]

[Ancestor Tang Chen beating his unworthy descendants, Tang Hao and Tang San, to a pulp—that would certainly be a sight worth watching. Heh heh heh...]

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua finally regained a little color in her lovely face.

So those events were still in the future!

Grandfather hasn't suffered such a wretched death yet. There's still a chance to save everything.

It's clearly that little beast Tang San's fault. How can my second brother be dragged into it!

That's unfair to him!

My second brother is an unrivaled hero. For my sister-in-law's sake, he dared to stand against all of Spirit Hall alone. How could he father a beast like Tang San?

"Um... is there something strange about me?"

Tang Yuehua's stare made Ning Wen deeply uncomfortable, and his voice came out rather timidly.

[Has this woman fallen for This Seat?]

[Well, of course. This Seat's charm is unmatched. But how could such a vulgar beauty ever catch This Seat's eye!]

[The only thing appealing about her is probably that she's Tang San's aunt.]

The voice continued, its tone growing ever more arrogant and imperious.

[But you, Tang Yuehua, are still unworthy of This Seat!]

[You barely qualify to be a mistress!]

Tang Yuehua's body trembled slightly.

This time, it was no longer from despair!

It was from rage!

Although she could not cultivate, she was the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect, doted on by her father and both her brothers.

Almost everything she ever heard was praise.

Countless people lined up to court her.

Yet she had never given any of them a second glance.

But today, right here in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, some little brat was actually disparaging her as utterly worthless in his mind??

He had even said, "You are completely unworthy of This Seat"!

And, "You barely qualify to be a mistress"!

Even that might have been tolerable!

The problem was that this brat looked nervous and awkward on the surface while inwardly sneering at her without restraint.

Tang Yuehua took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Don't get angry!

Don't get angry!

I must stay calm!

This little brat is hiding a huge secret.

If I lose my composure and let him realize I can hear his thoughts, it will all be over.
