Chapter 36: Tang Zhen Fainted from Rage
After a painful struggle, Tang Xiao finally made a decision—
He wanted to confront his father, Tang Zhen!
Given that his father was determined to let his second brother, Tang Hao, return to the Clear Sky Sect, unless Tang Hao was truly willing to separate from Ah Yin...
Otherwise, if Tang Zhen discovered that Tang Hao was unwilling to return, he would definitely mobilize the power of the Clear Sky Sect to search for Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and Ah Yin's identity would be exposed at that time.
Rather than risk Ah Yin being exposed to the entire soul master world, it would be better to let his father Tang Zhen know the truth about Ah Yin's identity.
Although, based on his understanding of his father Tang Zhen's usual temperament and the importance he placed on the reputation and interests of the Clear Sky Sect,
Once he found out Ah Yin's true identity, for safety reasons, Tang Zhen would definitely force Ah Yin to leave—or even imprison or kill her.
But Tang Xiao had already thought of a way to deal with that.
Even though he planned to confront his father and reveal Ah Yin's identity,
He didn't plan to reveal it immediately.
Instead, he planned to use the opportunity to leave and bring Tang Hao back first, to tell him their father's attitude, so that Tang Hao could take Ah Yin and hide her in advance.
After that, upon returning, he would then reveal Ah Yin's identity to his father Tang Zhen.
Since Tang Hao would have already taken Ah Yin and hidden her, even if Tang Zhen became furious and mobilized the power of the Clear Sky Sect to search for them, it wouldn't be easy to find them.
And since Tang Hao would have already taken Ah Yin away and hidden her, the two would surely have a child in the future.
Although his father Tang Zhen was ruthless, if Tang Hao and Ah Yin had a child, would Tang Zhen really allow his grandson to lose his mother just to gain a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
So, according to his plan, even if his father got enraged, he should choose to temporarily hold back.
And when the child of Tang Hao and Ah Yin was born, everything would be resolved!
This was the strategy Tang Xiao devised—to cut the wood from beneath the fire!
"Father, I understand. I'll bring back my second brother."
Although he had found a way to help his second brother Tang Hao and his sister-in-law Ah Yin paralyze their father, Tang Zhen, Tang Xiao still put on a bitter expression and said:
"Alright, go."
After saying goodbye to his father, Tang Xiao quickly left the Clear Sky Sect, full of unease, and rushed to where Tang Hao and Ah Yin had been staying.
After exhausting efforts to find them,
A few days later, Tang Xiao finally found Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Seeing his second brother Tang Hao and Ah Yin together so lovingly, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness and sadness in his heart.
He had never been the most tolerant person—at least, he couldn't take the initiative to help the couple after being rejected by the woman he loved.
(Yes, I'm talking about you, Flanders, you green-haired turtle!)
He could only distance himself and escape from his own feelings.
If possible, he didn't want to see Tang Hao and Ah Yin again. But unfortunately, he had no choice now but to return and inform them of their father's attitude.
"Brother, why are you back?"
Tang Hao looked a little confused when he saw that his older brother, Tang Xiao, had returned.
After composing himself, Tang Xiao quickly explained the purpose of his visit and told him that their father, Tang Zhen, was firmly opposed to him and Ah Yin being together.
"What should I do, Brother? Do I really have to go back?"
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, both Tang Hao and Ah Yin became nervous.
"Hey! Actually, there is a solution…"
Facing the anxious couple, Tang Xiao sighed and, without further delay, explained the strategy he had thought of.
"Great, big brother, your idea isn't bad! As long as Ah Yin and I hide first and wait until we've cooked the rice and have a child, even if Father doesn't approve, he'll have no choice but to accept it!"
Tang Hao got excited after hearing Tang Xiao's idea.
"But I feel sorry for Ah Yin. I originally wanted Father to preside over our wedding and give her a grand ceremony."
Seeing Ah Yin look a little sad, Tang Hao couldn't help but feel heartache and guilt. He hugged Ah Yin tightly, embracing her firmly.
"Don't worry! Brother Hao, my identity is a problem. It's normal for Father to dislike me. As long as you don't dislike me, that's all that matters."
Ah Yin shook her head at Tang Hao's guilt, a gentle smile appearing on her kind and beautiful face. Then, she gently leaned her head on Tang Hao's shoulder.
Seeing the affectionate scene between Tang Hao and Ah Yin, Tang Xiao felt like he was eating a mouthful of dog food.
He couldn't bear to keep watching, so he gave a reluctant smile, said a few words to Tang Hao, and left.
However, on the way back to the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao felt a bit sad.
Because this time, not only had he failed to complete the task his father Tang Zhen had assigned him, but he had even deliberately sabotaged it. When he returned and revealed Ah Yin's identity, he feared that his father might faint from rage.
You know, when their parents gave birth to him and Tang Hao, they were already quite old.
He and Tang Hao were already in their forties—
And their father, Tang Zhen, was ninety!
…
"What! You're saying that Ah Yin is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?!"
Back at the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Zhen was already furious after discovering that Tang Xiao had failed to bring Tang Hao back. Upon hearing from Tang Xiao that Ah Yin was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, Tang Zhen became so enraged that he almost suffered a brain hemorrhage.
The Douluo Continent is an ancient society, where humans and soul beasts are mortal enemies. In ancient times on Earth, the outside world disliked interracial marriages—
Let alone marriages between humans and soul beasts on the Douluo Continent!
Learning that his second son was involved with a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Tang Zhen felt humiliated.
If word got out, the Clear Sky Sect would lose all credibility!
And it wasn't just that.
You must know, if this matter became public, the reputation the Clear Sky Sect had built up over the years would instantly be destroyed, and other forces would not miss the chance to suppress them.
Considering that due to the disappearance of his father, Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect no longer held the power to instill fear in Spirit Hall,
And that with Tang Zhen's hard work, the sect had finally stabilized again, he had never expected such a catastrophe to arise!
For a moment, overcome with extreme anger and grief, Tang Zhen's vision went dark, and he fainted.
"Father!"
Well, it seems that in the Douluo Continent, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were discovered by Spirit Hall. But there are some issues—for example, Tang Hao clearly knew Ah Yin's identity, so why did he allow Spirit Hall to find her?
There aren't that many Soul Douluos or Titled Douluos in Spirit Hall. As for the idea that Spirit Hall just happened to discover Ah Yin while targeting Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, that's even more ridiculous!
If Spirit Hall were that reckless, shouldn't Qian Xunji have already killed Yu Xiaogang, who almost snatched Bibi Dong away?
As I said before, I believe there are some problems with how Spirit Hall "discovered" Tang Hao and Ah Yin, so I intend to give a different, more logical explanation!
That's all!
