"All right, we should be going out now—everyone's waiting for us at the door!" Zhong Yongliang said.
"Right away, Senior Brother Kuanglong!" Patriarch Kuangniu nodded in assent. He had fully accepted Zhong Yongliang's identity now.
"From now on, just call me Brother Liang. I'm still used to that name." Zhong Yongliang's own consciousness had retained the larger share; Patriarch Kuanglong's primordial spirit was simply too weak, and having arrived later, it could hardly match the strength of Zhong Yongliang's original soul. After the fusion, it was Zhong Yongliang's personality that held the dominant position.
"Fine, I'll call you Brother Liang, then." Patriarch Kuangniu did not mind at all. So long as his senior brother had returned, what name he was called by made no difference.
Over the days that followed, Zhong Yongliang began the long road of rebuilding his cultivation. His own body was far too weak. Besides taking Foundation Establishment Pills, the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect had contacted the Mystic Pill Gate and ordered a Marrow-Washing Bone-Refining Pill. Zhong Yongliang also began soaking his body daily in medicinal baths. It could be said that every cultivation resource the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect possessed was poured into Zhong Yongliang. Though Patriarch Kuanglong's body had changed, at bottom he was still Patriarch Kuanglong, the leader of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect. The two most authoritative figures in the sect were now his disciple and his junior brother, so with him monopolizing the cultivation resources, naturally no one raised any objection.
Gao Xiaofu, trailing after Zhong Yongliang, picked up no small benefit as well. The medicinal baths Zhong Yongliang had soaked in had lost much of their potency, but bathing in them in turn sent Gao Xiaofu's physical constitution improving by leaps and bounds.
He might never reach any great height, but with rare treasures of heaven and earth to support him, becoming a Heaven Rank expert was no problem—his combat ability would simply be somewhat inferior.

Mother Tang told Tang Zhi and Tang Jucheng about Tang Yuqi's matter. Tang Jucheng had no opinion of his own; they both deferred to Tang Zhi's judgment. After all, in the Snow Valley, such matters still had to be decided by Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi thought it over and made her decision. Tang Yuqi was her cousin, so of course she had to see him, but he could not be allowed to come to the Snow Valley, nor could anything about the Snow Valley be told to him. They would have to find some excuse to put him off.
As for her parents, there was no problem there—they could be sent back to Donghai City to meet Tang Yuqi once. That way, nothing would be implicated: Tang Zhi would not appear, there would be no contact with Wei Zhao, and the matter would still be resolved. Two birds with one stone.
That evening, Gu Mengyao finally received the call from Mother Tang. Gu Mengyao first expressed her gratitude; Mother Tang had been a great help during Wei Zhao's trip to the Snow Valley. Without her, Wei Zhao's journey there might not have been unsuccessful, but it certainly would not have yielded so much.
"Auntie, is there any word on Tang Yuqi's matter?" Qiu Lingshan was pressing urgently on her end, so Gu Mengyao was eager to produce a result as quickly as possible.
"About Tang Yuqi—Yunyun says she wants her father and me to go back for a visit after a while and acknowledge the kinship first, but Yunyun herself can't come back," Mother Tang said. "Tell Tang Yuqi that our family is doing business elsewhere, that the work is rather confidential and hard to disclose, but that we'll come back to see him in a few days."
