Chapter 2912 — The Legend of Two People (Part 4)

This senior Yang Zhao was, of course, Yang Qiqi's father and Wei Zhao's master! Yet never in his wildest dreams had Wei Zhao imagined that his own master and his family's old man had once been such titans who shook the world!
It was just that after this affair, Yang Zhao departed, and Lin Dongfang once again went into seclusion among the mountains and wilds. Those ancient sects that had taken the loss were all trembling with dread; none dared speak of the matter, and no one would bring it up or ask about it of their own accord.
As for Lin Dongfang, for reasons of his own, he too kept silent about the events of that year, so that with the passage of time, the whole affair was gradually buried away...
"Tu Wanghai pays his respects to Senior Yang!" Tu Wanghai said gravely.
Yang Zhao gave a casual wave of his hand and said mildly, "Since you are an old acquaintance of Brother Lin, there's no need for such courtesy. Tell us, then—what is your purpose in seeking us out?"
"Yes!" Tu Wanghai did not dare play any tricks, and simply spoke the truth: "The reason I have invited you two seniors here is, first, on account of my own affairs. I have lingered too long at the level of late Heaven Rank peak, great consummation—if I do not advance to the Heavenly Dao soon, I fear I shall simply die of old age! You two are both adepts of the Heavenly Dao, and are now gathering throughout the martial world those at the peak of late Heaven Rank, great consummation, to advance to the Heavenly Dao. So this unworthy Tu wishes to recommend himself..."
"Oh? Most other sects can't avoid us fast enough—yet here you are, seeking us out of your own accord?" Yang Zhao regarded Tu Wanghai with interest. "Aren't you afraid I might deceive you?"
"Others would naturally think so, but I have met Senior Lin Dongfang before, and I know you would never deceive me!" Tu Wanghai said with conviction.
"Heh heh, it's true we won't deceive you. But let me put the ugly truth plainly first: we will help you advance to the Heavenly Dao, and in return you must come with us to do a certain thing." Yang Zhao smiled. "Are you willing?"
"Naturally. If the senior helps me advance to the Heavenly Dao, then helping the senior in return is only proper—there is nothing to shirk." Tu Wanghai nodded. "I would not refuse even at the cost of my life!"
"Good. Then pack your things and come away with us," Lin Dongfang said with satisfaction.
"Very well. Second, I wished to ask—how is my granddaughter's condition?" Tu Wanghai asked.
"Your granddaughter—I have taken her as my sworn daughter. Under Brother Lin's medicinal care, her health is quite good now. However, I have not told her of her origins; I do not wish her to bear any burden." Yang Zhao said, "This time, come along with us and you will be able to see her. A glance from afar will suffice—do not say much to her."
"I understand!" Tu Wanghai hastily assented. He too knew that letting Tu Ranran grow up carefree and without psychological pressure was beneficial to her development; otherwise, with her perpetually weighed down by worries, even Lin Dongfang, divine physician though he was, would find it hard to help.
"Good. In that case, let us set out. The matter is rather urgent—once you have advanced to the Heavenly Dao along with the others, we can hurry to provide support a moment sooner, and return a day sooner!" Yang Zhao said.
"No problem, you two seniors. I will go pack at once and set out with you!" Though Tu Wanghai did not know what they were to support, he did not ask further. Having made his decision, he would see it through—whatever it was that needed doing.
By this time, Tu Qingsong was already the young sect master of the Yellow Earth High Sect, following Tu Wanghai every day and learning to handle sect affairs, and so he understood that affair of years past very well.
