Tang Clan Dining Hall
The atmosphere at the Tang family’s dinner table was always harmonious. Tang Sen would eat voraciously, Xu Shuhui would communicate with her two brothers, but something seemed different today, she had been speaking with Tang Sen the entire time.
“Tang Zuo is coming back soon, isn’t he?”
“Hmm.”
“He has been gone for three years, do you think he will be after the position of First Head of the Martial Hall upon return?”
“Hmm?”
“How can you be so aloof? You’ll regret it when you get kicked off the position of First Head of the Martial Hall.” Xu Shuhui complained while looking at the seemingly indifferent Tang Sen.
Tang Sen turned his head and said solemnly, “If I’m not the First Head of the Martial Hall, I will have more time to accompany you.”
“Tsk, mind your words in front of the children!” Xu Shuhui blushed and gave Tang Sen a slap on the shoulder.
She put a large rib into Tang Sen’s bowl, “Eat your meal.”
Tang Sen kept his calm, nodded, and turned back to his meal.
Ouch, my eyes! Tang Luo swallowed the overly saccharine affection displayed before him. Glancing at an ignorant little boy and Little Nuannuan who was playing with her spoon, he realized that sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss.
You would not believe how flirtatious this introverted father could be.
However, at the mention of his mother’s words, Tang Luo also thought of that name that seemed to have disappeared for many years – Tang Zuo.
The Tang Clan’s mainline had three branches in total, not including the ladies, there were five outstanding young masters.
Collectively known as the five men of the previous generation of the Tang Clan. The eldest son of the first branch – Tang Zhi, the current Patriarch of the Tang Clan, represented the Tang Clan in managing all its departments.
The second son of the first branch – Tang Bin, was the Chief Instructor of the Martial Hall, overseeing all the warriors of the Clan.
The eldest son of the second branch – Tang Man, oversaw the Tang Clan’s commercial department and the Clan school, managing all the assets of the
Clan.
The second son of the second branch – Tang Zuo, a martial arts prodigy who built his foundation at eight years old, transcended into Mortal Realm at fifteen, master of a hundred martial arts, was undoubtedly a genius. He was also the pre-determined candidate to be the First Head of the Martial Hall by the Clan elders.
However, all of this changed when Tang Sen appeared. Tang Sen, who was two years younger than Tang Zuo, built his foundation at nine years old. But because of his quiet demeanor, he didn’t directly enter the Martial Hall, but stayed at home instead.
At that time, Tang Hao didn’t have much expectation of this illegitimate son, hoping only that he could maintain the family’s foundation. Because Tang Sen, who often would not speak for days, was very thin and shy like a young girl.
The illegitimate son, Tang Sen, silently practiced in the mansion until that day when he astonished everyone.
On his fifteenth birthday, Tang Sen mustered the courage to announce at the dinner table: “I have… achieved Mortal Realm.”
His announcement caused an uproar in the mansion. Tang Hao had more than a dozen children, he had sent all the legitimate children to the Martial Hall, but kept all the illegitimate children at home.
Tang Hao did not want a future that involved feuds between legitimate and illegitimate children, which in a grand family like the Tang clan, would be scandalous.
But now that Tang Sen had shown such talent, even if Tang Hao wanted to restrict him, it was impossible. The Martial Hall came calling for him.
The fifteen-year-old illegitimate son who had reached the Mortal Realm was successfully admitted into the Martial Hall, and his legendary journey had only just begun.
Not only was the originally thin Tang Sen a martial arts prodigy, but he also awakened the divine power inherited in the bloodline of the Tang Clan after reaching Mortal Realm.
This discovery elated the elders of the Clan.
Even for an affluent Clan like Tang’s, it mattered to have a formidable role model to inspire the Clan’s warriors and let them know that the Tang Clan was the strongest in the west ridge.
The frail Tang Sen grew stronger at an incredible speed. Even without physical training, his strength and physique skyrocketed along with the rise of his spiritual power.
What was even more frightening was Tang Sen’s cultivation speed. Thanks to his bloodline, Tang Sen’s cultivation pace from Mortal to Fierce Realm was akin to taking a rocket.
In simply five years, Tang Sen had cultivated to the peak of the Mortal Realm. At twenty, he had just caught up to the cultivation progress of Tang Zuo.
At this time, Tang Zuo had already turned twenty-two.
The elders of the Tang Clan tilted the scale toward Tang Sen, endlessly debating between him and Tang Zuo.
But at the same time, a letter of application silenced the elders’ argument. Tang Sen wanted to go on a far-off trade expedition, and he was very adamant about it. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
This act of giving way undoubtedly displeased the elders. They were all descendants of the Tang Clan, regardless of whether they were direct relatives or born out of wedlock, they were part of the Tang Family.
As warriors, if one doesn’t dare to compete, how can they reach the peak of martial arts?
It seems Tang Sen is lacking in determination, the elders seem to have made their judgment.
When he officially went on a far-off trade expedition, the fierce struggle for the deputy head’s position also seemed to have settled.
Until two years later, when the Wancheng Treasure Ship returned, a full thousand guards of the Wancheng Treasure Ship jointly recommended someone.
The next Head of the Martial Hall must be Tang Sen because he was the strongest at the peak of the Mortal Realm they had ever seen. He was regarded as unbeatable.
Keep in mind, the guards who can accompany the ship are family warriors cultivated from a young age, and most of them practice the Combined Attack Technique. To make these people recognize a twenty-year-old as being unbeatable within the same realm is not easy.
What’s more shocking is that Tang Sen returned with a wife.
Miss Xu Shuhui of the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou.
The Tang family, which has been engaged in trade for hundreds of years, has some knowledge of the secrets of the continent of Xiehe. What is the concept of the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou?
This is the family where Xu Sheng, who can cut the sky and sealed the heavens, comes from. This was a time-honored family that had produced saints before. The fact that they would marry their daughter to a clan member in Longzhou was undoubtedly surprising and exciting to the elders of the Tang Clan. Although they never thought of having any relationship with the Xu family in distant Yuanzhou, if the Tang Clan was ever in trouble, the Xu family could serve as a backup for them. How could they not be excited?
The elders seemed to clearly understand. Tang Sen’s departure was not a retreat, but a strategic withdrawal. He was planning something grand, to achieve the position of head of the Martial Hall.
When facing a warrior whose strategic skills and talent are both excellent, the elders felt that there should be no hesitation. It was decided that it would be Tang Sen, the head of the Martial Hall.
But Tang Zuo did not agree with this. If, when Tang Sen applied for long-distance trade at the peak of the Mortal Realm at the age of twenty, he still had a kind heart towards this cousin. When he returned to Xihng with a mighty power two years later, the so-called concession had turned into appearing weak to the enemy.
It was not that this cousin wanted to quit, but he wanted to add weight to his status. Tang Sen, whose qualifications slightly outperformed him, was only slightly inferior in terms of origin. But after becoming the son-in-law of the Xu family in Yuanzhou, he had achieved a status equivalent to his own.
“This guy is so cunning!” Tang Zuo exclaimed angrily, smashing the table beside him when the Wancheng Treasure Ship returned to Xiling.
Once a person is misunderstood, it seems that everything the other person does is deliberately arranged and calculated at every step.
Since childhood, Tang Sen had only been interested in martial arts and his sister, knowing nothing about politics or schemes. He was only interested in martial arts.
He really didn’t want to dip into the position of Head of the Martial Hall because he felt it would delay his martial arts practice.
And marrying Xu Shuhui was definitely not some scheme.
From the moment he saw her, Tang Sen was sure that this was the woman he would marry.
The lion’s courtship is always so simple and straightforward. Tang Sen knocked down all those who had improper thoughts about Xu Shuhui during his encounter in Yuanzhou during his trade mission, even establishing a reputation as an unbeatable hand beneath the Fierce Realm.
Although he was not good at expressing himself, his daily care and deep affection eventually melted Xu Shuhui’s heart.
The Xu family was not willing to marry their daughter off, it was her love that made her persist, bringing only two simple dowry boxes, she boarded Tang Sen’s ship.
The union of the two was because of love.
But in Xiling, no one believed it..
