Translator: 549690339
Tang Gaomin listened to Hua Ji’s stubborn words, gritting his teeth with annoyance. How true it was that servants were just like their masters, both as stubborn as mules.
If Tang Luo’s letter were to anger the Great Elder, this steward would definitely be done for. Knowing Tang Luo’s audacious nature, he had assigned the task to the children of the clan after just losing a bodyguard, it was even less likely for him to back down from the Great Elder.
His intention of sending the letter to the mansion was to save him from the impending danger, but this man didn’t appreciate his goodwill.
Hua Ji was unaware of these little tricks, but Tang Siyuan saw through them at a glance.
He smiled at Tang Gaomin, looking at Hua Ji, he said, “Go get the letter for the Sixth Elder.”
“I obey the command of the Great Elder,” Hua Ji didn’t suspect a thing and quickly exited.
Tang Gaomin watched Hua Ji’s retreating figure, mumbling to himself: Hopeless, utterly hopeless!
“Elder Gaomin, can you guess what Clan Head Luo wrote in his letter?” Tang Siyuan held the opened envelope, asking with a smile.
Tang Gaomin’s face fell, he glanced at the envelope and shook his head indicating his ignorance.
Tang Siyuan calmly opened the envelope. He peered inside at the substantial stack of paper and pulled out the first sheet. He was curious about what this precocious and newly influential young prodigy wanted to say to the seemingly foolish Great Elder like himself.
He spread the letter before him and after having a glance, his brows lifted, his expression remarkably lively.
Tang Gaomin had been closely watching his face, on seeing that expression, he thought something was wrong and hastily interjected, “Tang Luo, after all, has the temperament of a youth. His precocity means he may not speak the truth. I beg the Great Elder’s indulgence!”
Tang Siyuan took his eyes off the letter, looked at him, and asked, “Oh, what do you think Clan Head Luo wrote?”
Looking at the Great Elder’s sarcastic expression, Tang Gaomin was even more certain that there weren’t any nice words on the letter. Gritting his teeth, he said, “No matter what is written, it’s just the result of a moment’s fervor, it can’t be taken seriously!”
His purpose of being at the Great Elder’s mansion today was to pacify Tang Siyuan’s emotional state. Coincidentally, Tang Luo sent a letter, thinking of which, he had to take on the role of a firefighter, in his heart a strong sense of responsibility.
Tang Siyuan looked at his words of absolution and handed him the letter, with an expression that seemed to be laughing, “Elder Gaomin, you should take a look and think about how to justify Clan Head Luo’s actions.”
“No matter what’s written, it’s just the rant of a youth, it’s not meaningful, there’s nothing worth seeing.” Tang Gaomin said decisively, but his hand still automatically reached out to take the letter, and he glanced at it.
Although the letter was large, there weren’t many words, but the short hundred or so words made him read it twice, his eyes widened round and round, disbelievingly he said, “This…this…”
He looked up in surprise, only to see Tang Siyuan say indifferently, “As Elder Gaomin said, these are all youthful rants and not to be taken seriously.” “Venerable Great Elder, you’re mistaken! Clan Head Luo’s actions must be sincere. His talent is a blessing for our Tang Clan!” He immediately replied, worried on hearing Tang Siyuan’s words.
Originally, he thought Tang Luo sent the letter to provoke, but on the letter was his apology for his rude behavior yesterday and also a detailed explanation of a single-person fusion technique for consideration; it was clearly offering an olive branch.
The act of a prodigy admitting his mistakes after gaining power is something many talented individuals cannot do. They believe it’s a loss of face, yet Tang Luo not only did it, but also came up with a secret technique, it could be said his sincerity was overflowing.
He was initially concerned that Tang Luo’s character was too aloof and stubborn, even if he was extraordinarily gifted, he would not be liked by people. But now it seemed that despite his young age, he was very mature and thoughtful in his actions.
Seeing Tang Gaomin’s striking contrast before and after, Tang Siyuan remarked with a barely suppressed mirth, “Wasn’t Elder Gaomin just saying that these are the words of a youth and can’t be taken seriously? Why now are you speaking up for Tang Luo with such verve?”
“Great Elder, please stop teasing me!” Tang Gaomin returned the letter, excitedly said, “For such a young person like Clan Head Luo being this magnanimous and skilled, he is truly a blessing for the Tang Clan. How do you think, Great Elder?”
Tang Siyuan took back the letter and carefully put it back in the envelope, sighed, “I’m old, really old!”
The hero in his twilight years most feared to leave no heir, but now Tang Clan had Tang Zhi and Tang Kuan in literary, Tang Sen and Tang Zuo in martial, and also the dazzling prodigy Tang Luo.
At this moment, the old man felt a great fulfillment in his heart, as if he could see the scene of the Tang Clan’s rising stars uniting Xiling a few decades in the future.
This sigh was not one of sadness, but of deep satisfaction with the bright future!
When Hua Ji returned to the hall with the letter from the Sixth Elder, he saw the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder laughing happily together. Stiffening his resolve, he entered the hall and handed the letter to Tang Gaomin.
Secret Arts Pavilion
After delegating the task of delivering the letter to Hua Ji, Tang Luo delved into the pavilion, delivering the prepared three sets of individual fusion techniques to the pavilion, allowing everyone to familiarize themselves with them.
All those who encountered this fusion technique for the first time were astounded by its displayed power!
Because the power of these transcendental secret techniques was infinitely close to a three-person combined attack technique. If this technique were to be widespread, it would mean that the warriors of the Tang Clan would possess an attack move comparable to the combined attack technique, which in turn meant in a group war, the explosive power of the Tang Clan would triple in an instant.
If initially only a hundred transcendental realm squads could perform combined attack techniques, the widespread use of this fusion technique would cause an immediate threefold surge in the Tang Clan’s combat power.
Just at first glance, the researchers at the Secret Arts Pavilion discovered its immense potential for warfare. In other words, if Tang Clan had a thousand transcendental realm who could master this fusion technique, defeating the Mi Clan and becoming the strongest in Xiling is not a dream but an ambition that could be realized in their generation!
Thinking that the goal of Tang Clan for several hundred years will be realized in their generation, the eyes of each individual were filled with splendid light.
Even more shocking to them was the researcher of this fusion technique — Tang Luo.
The inception of this secret technique, the entire Secret Arts Pavilion hadn’t been of help even a tiny bit, and had ridiculed him over the past few months, hoping he could return to the right way of researching the combined attack technique, but the three sets of fusion techniques laid on the case were like a silent mockery, scoffing at their shortsightedness.
“I am not as good as you!” Tang Guangyu came up to Tang Luo, deeply respectful in his eyes, he bowed.
Behind him came all the other researchers of the Secret Arts Pavilion; each and every one of them genuflected towards Tang Luo. Because of this set of fusion techniques, not only was he undeniably a prodigy, but also it had established Tang Clan’s future dominance, which Tang Luo truly deserved.
Isn’t such research the lifelong pursuit of all of them? So when all this happened, they were sincerely happy for Tang Luo.
Because as researchers themselves, they knew how complicated it was to research a technique like this, how hard the constant failures were, so when he succeeded, he deserved their praise and respect.
Tang Luo looked at the researchers in front of him who bowed and paid respects, he scratched his nose and said, “Alright, get up, everyone. I am not used to it since you guys don’t berate me..”
