"I'm not angry. I'm helping the Hidden Tang Clan for your sake and Aunt Xiaoming's. I have nothing to do with that man." Tang Zhi's voice was cold and utterly devoid of feeling. She had never harbored any affection for the Hidden Tang Clan to begin with, and after cultivating the Art of Heartlessness, that was even more true.
"Ah!" Tang Yuyi sighed and smiled bitterly. "That you're willing to acknowledge me is already more than enough for me. I can't force anything else..."
"By the way, tell your father not to go looking for Wei Zhao. Otherwise, if something unpleasant happens, it won't be something you or I can control." Tang Zhi gave one more faint warning.
"All right, I'll tell Father." Tang Yuyi nodded.
The two of them walked together to where Xiaoming lived. Xiaoming was overjoyed to see Tang Yuyi come to visit her, but when she learned that Tang Lingtou had also come and was merely waiting outside without entering, she could not help but feel deeply disappointed.
Tang Zhi saw it all but said nothing. After all, Xiaoming still harbored some feelings for Tang Lingtou. For all these years she had followed him and never been with any other man; to completely forget him was no easy matter.
Yet in Tang Zhi's eyes, it was all but impossible for the two of them ever to be together again—unless Tang Lingtou's character changed.
Tang Yuyi chatted with Xiaoming for a while, then left. After all, Tang Lingtou was still waiting. Tang Zhi did not see him off; she simply had a disciple escort him out, while she stayed behind to keep Aunt Xiaoming company and chat...
Such opportunities were rare. Tang Zhi spent most of her time in Snow Valley cultivating, and Wang Yuming and Wang Yujie had very different temperaments. Wang Yujie was domineering and willful, roaming Snow Valley as she pleased and able to see Tang Zhi whenever she wished, whereas Wang Yuming mostly abided by Snow Valley's rules and did not wander about at will.
Tang Lingtou hurried back to the Hidden Tang Clan, beaming with delight, and Tang Yuyi had no choice but to follow him back.
When the Tang Elder learned the outcome, he heaved a great sigh of relief. Yet no sooner had he done so than he began planning a banquet to invite the elders of the other hidden clans, so that they might all celebrate together the Hidden Tang Clan's newfound backing from the ancient sect, Snow Valley!
Of course, calling it a celebration was merely a pretext to show off before the others...

Wei Zhao naturally had no idea that his act of annihilating the Hidden Zhao Clan had thrown the Hidden Tang Clan into such a frenzy. At this moment, Wei Zhao had already ridden Little Feng back to West Star Mountain Village!
It happened to be evening. When Wei Zhao appeared in his own courtyard, Lin Dongfang immediately noticed the newcomer.
"You're back?" Seeing Wei Zhao return riding a spirit beast, Lin Dongfang showed not the slightest surprise, nor any astonishment at the beast. He merely asked in the most ordinary of tones.
"Yes. Old man, how did you know I was coming back?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. He had not expected Old Man Wei's expression to be so indifferent.
"I heard earlier that you'd been crippled, and thought you might come back. But now that you're healed and still came back, that does surprise me a little." Old Man Wei spoke as he walked over to the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast and gave it a few pats up and down. "This little thing doesn't look half bad. Is it edible?"
"......" Wei Zhao's face immediately darkened, and the Thunderstorm Violet Lightning Beast, having never met Old Man Wei before and hearing that he wanted to eat it, instantly turned hostile, glaring with wide eyes and letting out a roar: "ROAR ROAR!"
