After a painful struggle, Tang Xiao finally made his decision.

He would lay everything bare before his father, Tang Zhen!

With his father firmly insisting that his Second Brother, Tang Hao, return to the Clear Sky Sect, unless Tang Hao was truly willing to separate from Ah Yin,

if Tang Hao refused to return, Tang Zhen would certainly fly into a rage and mobilize the Clear Sky Sect's forces to search for Tang Hao and Ah Yin. At that point, Ah Yin would still be highly likely to be exposed.

Rather than risk Ah Yin being exposed before the entire Soul Master World, it would be better to let only Tang Zhen know Ah Yin's True Identity.

Although, based on Tang Xiao's understanding of his father's usual temperament, for the Clear Sky Sect's reputation and interests,

once he learned Ah Yin's True Identity, his father would definitely still force Ah Yin away for the sake of caution. He might even imprison Ah Yin; killing her was not impossible either.

But Tang Xiao had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Although he planned to lay things bare before his father and tell him Ah Yin's True Identity,

he did not intend to tell Tang Zhen Ah Yin's True Identity right away.

Instead, he planned to use the opportunity of going out to bring Tang Hao back to tell Tang Hao about their father's attitude, letting Tang Hao take Ah Yin and flee first, hiding away.

Then, after returning, he would tell Tang Zhen Ah Yin's True Identity.

Since Tang Hao had already taken Ah Yin away to hide, even if Tang Zhen flew into a rage and mobilized the Clear Sky Sect's forces to search for them, finding the two of them would not be so easy.

And since Tang Hao had already taken Ah Yin into hiding, the two would surely have a child in the future.

Tang Zhen might be ruthless, but if Tang Hao and Ah Yin had a child, would he really make his grandson lose his mother just to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Therefore, under his plan, although Tang Zhen would be furious, he should ultimately choose to let the matter rest for the time being.

And once Tang Hao and Ah Yin's child was born, everything would be settled.

This was Tang Xiao's plan to cut off the fuel from under the cauldron!

"Father, I understand. I'll bring Second Brother back."

Although he had already found a way to help Tang Hao and Ah Yin be together, Tang Xiao still put on a bitter expression to deceive Tang Zhen and said,

"Good. Go."

After bidding farewell to his father, Tang Xiao left the Clear Sky Sect again with unease in his heart, hurrying at full speed toward the place where Tang Hao and Ah Yin had been.

And with Tang Xiao traveling and searching at full speed,

within a few days, Tang Xiao found Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

Seeing Tang Hao and Ah Yin again, and seeing how deeply in love they were, Tang Xiao naturally still felt somewhat bitter and despondent.

He had never been someone with particularly strong emotional resilience. At the very least, he could not, after being rejected by the woman he loved, still take the initiative to bring the two together and play matchmaker for them.

(That's right, I'm talking about you, Green Haired Turtle Flender!)

All he could do was stay far away and run from himself.

If possible, he did not want to see Tang Hao and Ah Yin again either, but unfortunately, he could only return now to tell them their father's attitude.

"Big Brother, why did you come back?"

Seeing that his Big Brother Tang Xiao, who had already left, had actually returned, Tang Hao was somewhat puzzled.

After adjusting his mood, Tang Xiao quickly explained why he had come, telling Tang Hao that their father Tang Zhen firmly opposed him being together with Ah Yin.

"What should we do, Big Brother? Do I really have to go back?"

After hearing Tang Xiao's words, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were both frantic with anxiety.

"Sigh! It's not as though there's no way..."

Faced with Tang Hao and Ah Yin's anxiety, Tang Xiao sighed. He did not tease them and quickly told them the plan he had come up with.

"Great, Big Brother! Your idea is good. As long as Ah Yin and I hide first and make it a done deal by having a child, Father will have to accept it even if he doesn't want to!"

After hearing Tang Xiao's suggestion, Tang Hao was extremely excited and delighted.

"But Ah Yin will have to suffer for it. I originally wanted Father to preside over our wedding and give Ah Yin a grand ceremony."

After calming down from his excitement, Tang Hao saw Ah Yin's somewhat sorrowful expression and could not help feeling distressed and guilty. He pulled Ah Yin into his arms, and the two pressed tightly together.

"It's all right! Hao Ge, my identity really is a problem. It's normal for Father not to like me. As long as you don't despise me, that's enough."

In response to Tang Hao's guilt, Ah Yin shook her head. A considerate smile appeared on her beautiful, gentle face, and she lightly rested her head against Tang Hao's shoulder.

Seeing Tang Hao and Ah Yin being so affectionate, Tang Xiao felt as if he had been force-fed dog food.

He could not bear to watch such a scene. He could only force a smile, give Tang Hao a few final reminders, and then take his leave.

However, Tang Xiao felt somewhat heavy-hearted about returning to the Clear Sky Sect this time.

Because not only had he failed to complete the task Tang Zhen assigned him, he had deliberately sabotaged it instead. Once he told Tang Zhen Ah Yin's True Identity, he was truly afraid his father would be angered into fainting.

After all, when his father and mother had given birth to him and Tang Hao, they had already been quite old.

Tang Hao and he were now both over forty, while Tang Zhen was already over ninety!

"What! You're saying this Ah Yin is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?!"

Within the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Zhen had already been furious upon discovering that Tang Xiao had failed to bring Tang Hao back. But when he heard Tang Xiao say that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, Tang Zhen was so enraged that he nearly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Douluo Continent was an ancient society, and humans and Soul Beasts could be said to be mortal enemies. In ancient Earth, marriages between different races were already widely frowned upon,

let alone marriages between humans and Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent!

Learning that his second son was actually together with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Tang Zhen felt utterly humiliated.

If this matter became known to the outside world, the Clear Sky Sect's reputation would be completely destroyed!

And that was not all.

If this matter became known, the reputation the Clear Sky Sect had accumulated over so many years would instantly be ruined. Other factions certainly would not miss this opportunity to suppress the Clear Sky Sect.

Thinking of how, after his father Tang Chen's disappearance, the Clear Sky Sect no longer possessed the prestige that once made even Spirit Hall wary,

and how, after his own painstaking efforts, the Clear Sky Sect had only just finally stabilized, only for this to happen, Tang Zhen felt utterly screwed over!

For a moment, overwhelmed by extreme rage and grief, Tang Zhen's vision went black, and he immediately fainted.

"Father!!"

Hmm, I feel there are some issues with how Ah Yin and Tang Hao were discovered by Spirit Hall in Douluo Continent. For example, Tang Hao clearly knew Ah Yin's identity, so why would he let Spirit Hall discover her?

There were not many Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo-level Soul Masters in Spirit Hall either. As for saying Spirit Hall wanted to recruit Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, or eliminate them, and only discovered Ah Yin by accident—that was even more absurd!

If Spirit Hall were so unscrupulous, then would Qian Xunji not have killed Yu Xiaogang, that useless piece of trash who nearly stole Bibi Dong away, long ago?

That's all. I feel that there are some problems with how Tang Hao and Ah Yin were discovered by Spirit Hall, so I plan to give a different, more logical explanation.

That's it!
