After Tai Tan and Niu Gao finished their contest of strength, both burst into hearty laughter again.
"Tai Long pays his respects to Grandpa Niu!"
At Tai Tan's signal, Tai Long stepped forward to kneel and kowtow before Niu Gao, but Niu Gao stopped him. "Good lad, you're getting sturdier by the day. Your father wasn't built like you when he was your age!"
"You flatter me, Grandpa Niu!"
"All right, let's not stand around here. Come inside, and we can chat over tea!"
Niu Gao and Tai Tan walked ahead, arm in arm, into the residence.
Zhao Su, Ning Rongrong, and the others followed Tai Long into the Defense Clan's residence.
Looking at the exquisitely crafted, spacious buildings, even Zhao Su could not help feeling some admiration. Aside from their formidable defense, the Defense Clan's accomplishments in construction were arguably even greater.
Their construction skills were also how they earned their living.
When they reached the main hall, they found its furnishings simple, yet every item had been placed with care.
Only after they sat down did Niu Gao notice Zhao Su, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Fatty. Judging by their builds and bearing, they clearly were not members of the Strength Clan.
"Old Gorilla, aren't you going to introduce these youngsters?"
Tai Tan glanced at Tang San, a trace of awkwardness flashing through his eyes, but he still introduced them to Niu Gao.
Niu Gao paid little attention to Zhao Su, Ning Rongrong, or Fatty.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward Tang San.
It was not because of Tang San's appearance, but because his surname was Tang.
Back then, the Clear Sky Sect had sealed its gates to protect itself. Although that had preserved its foundations and strength, it had come at a cost.
