Zhuo Ma was speechless. Tang Xin was telling the truth. She didn't even give Tang Xin a chance to speak before challenging Qin Fang to a one-on-one battle.
Tang Xin couldn't be blamed for the tragedy that had befallen her.
Of course, she did not have any intention of blaming Tang Xin. It was just that she had not been able to vent her anger after suffering such a terrible fate. It was not that she was targeting anyone.
Even if they wanted to target someone, they would definitely target the culprit, Qin Fang. They would not blame Tang Xin for it …
"Sigh, forget it. Let's go back first …"
Revenge was the real purpose of their trip. Unfortunately, it was a complete failure. Even her last hope, Tang Xin, said that she might not be able to do anything to Qin Fang. What else could she do? She could only helplessly accept this tragic reality.
The people of the Gelan tribe returned home. Tang Xin said that she had something to do in the mountains. Qin Fang knew that she was probably here to meet her good friend, Zhuo Ma.
Judging from Tang Xin's expression, she seemed to be hiding something in her heart. Qin Fang and Tang Xin were just strangers who met by chance. They weren't particularly close, so it wasn't appropriate for him to ask too many questions.
At this point, the matter had basically come to an end. Zhuo Ma probably wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts about Qin Fang for the time being.
…
Life in the mountains was rather boring for people outside the mountains. Although Qin Fang could kill some time through cultivation, his skills came too easily. Hard work wasn't his way of doing things.
The old lady's health had stabilized for the time being and she could live for more than half a year. Although she would eventually reach that stage, at least for the rest of her life, whether it was Sang Duo's family or Uncle Wen's family, they were all very happy.
Wen Yan, who had originally planned to stay for a few days and return after the old lady's funeral, decided to stay and accompany the old lady for a few more days.
Qin Fang agreed with this request. Filial piety was very important. Qin Fang didn't want his woman to not have such a basic quality.
Otherwise, no matter how much he loved this woman, it was impossible for him to keep her by his side, because he had to consider his mother. She was his only family member, and he could never owe her anything.
Since Wen Yan stayed, Qin Fang naturally stayed with her. However, he needed to find something else to pass the time. Hunting became Qin Fang's biggest hobby.
There were all kinds of wild animals in the mountains, and the game was all natural. Although it was not suitable to hunt wild animals, it was the law of nature. Blind protection might not necessarily be useful. Moreover, Qin Fang only hunted some very common wild animals, such as rabbits and water deer.
On this day, Qin Fang carried a bow and arrow and went hunting alone in the mountains. Sang Duo and Uncle Wen were too lazy to go with him. It was too frustrating. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
After a few days of training, Qin Fang's archery skills had obviously improved a lot. Previously, it was mainly because of the combination of the one-handed weapon proficiency and shooting skills. However, there was still a slight difference between his marksmanship and Qin Fang's. That was, he was still a little unfamiliar with it.
But in the past few days, this unfamiliar feeling had completely disappeared. This bow and arrow in Qin Fang's hands had become more skillful. In addition, Qin Fang had changed into simple mountain clothes. If one wasn't from the Gelan tribe or the Na Yi tribe, they would never think that Qin Fang came from outside the mountains.
However, today was obviously a little different from before. Because when he was about to hunt a fat rabbit, the rabbit was suddenly startled and immediately disappeared into the forest. At the same time, three young men in ancient clothes appeared in Qin Fang's vision.
When he saw these people, Qin Fang couldn't help but be stunned. It was impossible for a crew to film in the mountains. Qin Fang had seen someone in ancient clothes before, and that was Tang Xin from the Tang Sect.
Looking at the three young men in ancient clothes in front of him, Qin Fang immediately guessed their identity. Of course, he still used the detection skill as usual.
The three young men weren't particularly old. They looked around 24 to 28 years old. Anyway, they definitely hadn't entered their thirties yet. Their faces still looked very young.
Although they were young, their strength was not weak. Two of them had entered the master level. Although the other one hadn't entered the master level yet, he was still considered one of the best among the level 5. His strength was almost comparable to Song Qingshan before he entered the master level. In other words, if placed outside the mountains, they would be considered the strongest among the younger generation.
There was no doubt about the Tang Sect's foundation. They hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, but their strength had definitely increased. Other ancient sects had more or less contact with the outside world, so naturally, there would be some changes. On the other hand, the Tang Sect was buried in the research of martial arts and miscellaneous studies. It was understandable that they were more successful.
However, Qin Fang didn't have a particularly good impression of these three people. It wasn't that they looked like bad people, but Qin Fang could feel the arrogance of these three people.
Being young and powerful, it was normal for them to be a little arrogant. However, they had to pretend to be very polite and courteous, which was too hypocritical. What's more, the vague disdain they released obviously showed that they looked down upon Qin Fang, the "barbarian in the mountain".
"Brother, do you know which direction the Gelan tribe is heading to?"
As soon as the three people appeared, they immediately noticed Qin Fang. At this time, they came over. The young man in the lead had a faint smile on his face. He very politely bowed to Qin Fang, and then asked very politely.
They were speaking in the vernacular, not the native language of the mountains. It seemed that even though the Tang Sect had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, they wouldn't be so isolated as to be assimilated by these mountain people.
"Go straight there …"
Although these three people made Qin Fang vaguely unhappy, when he heard that they were going to the Gelan tribe, Qin Fang guessed that they were probably going to look for Tang Xin.
Although Qin Fang wanted to trick Tang Xin into leaving the mountains, that was only a passing thought. Now that he hadn't seen her for a few days, that thought had faded a lot.
These three people were all from the Tang Sect, and they were so young. They were most likely Tang Xin's senior and junior brothers. They must be looking for her for something, so Qin Fang couldn't stop them.
He happened to know the direction, so he pointed them in the direction of the Gelan tribe.
"Thank you so much, brother …"
The young man in the lead immediately thanked him again. Then, he seemed to have sensed something. With a slight shake of his wrist, Qin Fang saw three to five black shadows fly out of his hand and disappear into the roots of a tree not far away.
A young man beside him tapped his foot lightly and landed several meters away like a giant eagle. Then, he picked up two plump rabbits from the place where the black shadow had disappeared from …
The two rabbits were still dripping with blood. The young man pulled out a few strange-looking iron weapons from their wounds. These were obviously the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
"These two rabbits are a gift for our first meeting, brother …" The young man in the lead smiled at Qin Fang.
He tossed the rabbits to Qin Fang. His gesture seemed casual, but his disdain was obvious. He tossed the rabbits to Qin Fang. Then, the three of them immediately turned and left. Soon, they disappeared into the forest in the direction of the Gelan tribe.
"Damn it, what the hell is this …"
Looking at the two bleeding rabbits in his hands, Qin Fang had a strange expression on his face. It was the first time that he was despised like this after working outside for so long.
Qin Fang had naturally noticed the existence of these two rabbits, but he didn't make a move immediately because he was talking to the three people from the Tang Sect. After all, he only hunted for fun, not for food.
In the end, such a misunderstanding occurred. The three people from the Tang Sect thought that he was a barbarian in the mountains, so they hunted these two rabbits for him … Qin Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Fang couldn't help but shake his head when he recalled the arrogance of these three people. "Sigh, you may look like barbarians to others, but aren't you also uncivilized barbarians in the eyes of the people outside the mountains?"
The lives of the people in the mountains were very backward and primitive because the area they lived in limited their development. In addition, their minds weren't fully open, so this was passed down generation after generation.
The people from the Tang Sect might have been the most advanced and open-minded people when they were in seclusion hundreds of years ago. However, after hundreds of years of seclusion, the advancement they were once proud of was no longer worth mentioning. In the eyes of outsiders, these people from the Tang Sect were still stuck in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They were synonymous with backwardness and barbarism …
…
In the mountain forest.
The three people from the Tang Sect walked slowly in the forest. Their strides didn't seem to be large, but their speed wasn't slow. After all, they were all powerful cultivators, so it was normal for them to walk faster than ordinary people.
"Senior brother, isn't he just a barbarian?
Is there a need to be so polite with him? "
The young man who had thrown the rabbit to Qin Fang thought back to what had just happened and said angrily. His name was Tang Wei, and he was the weakest of the three. However, he was only one step away from becoming a master.
The leader of the three was Tang Nan. He was a master and ranked sixth among the younger generation of the Tang Sect. He was much stronger than Tang Xin, who was also ranked last among the top ten.
The last one who hadn't spoken was called Tang Zhan. He was the strongest of the three. He was a master and ranked third among the younger generation of the Tang Sect. He was second only to the other two senior brothers who were older than him.
Among the three of them, Tang Zhan should have been the leader. However, Tang Nan was the leader. This didn't mean that Tang Nan was the smartest and could control the other two. It was entirely because of his identity. He was a disciple of the Tang Family and the only son of the Tang Family's elder, Tang Yuantao.
His aunt was the wife of the Tang Sect's current leader. This also meant that Tang Nan's position in the Tang Sect was not ordinary. The younger generation of disciples didn't dare to provoke him.
"You said it yourself. He's just a barbarian. Just give him some small favors. Maybe he'll go back and tell his family that he met an immortal in the mountains …"
Tang Nan's expression was indifferent. He didn't take what had just happened to heart. Just as he said, this matter was insignificant. It was just a small show of his face.
"That's right!
Senior brother, you're the best … "
Tang Wei immediately nodded his head in response. At the same time, he also immediately flattered Tang Zhan. As for Tang Zhan, he could be directly ignored. He had been silent all this time.
Although the three of them left the mountain together, Tang Nan and Tang Wei were in the same group. Tang Zhan was arranged by Tang Yuantao to be a bodyguard. After all, the outside of the mountain was much more dangerous than the inside of the Tang Sect. Although Tang Nan was not weak, he had not suffered any setbacks since he was young. Tang Yuantao was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage, so he found Tang Zhan, a quiet but calm disciple, to be his bodyguard.
Tang Zhan was Tang Yuantao's direct disciple. Although Tang Zhan didn't admire Tang Nan, he still carried out his master's orders.
"Right, senior brother, do you think Senior Sister Tang Xin will be moved by your sincerity this time?"
Tang Wei suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask. The three of them left the mountain this time for Tang Xin.
Tang Xin was one of the top ten disciples of the younger generation. At the same time, she was one of the only two female disciples in the top ten. However, both of them were as beautiful as flowers. They were known as the Twin Beauties of the Tang Sect. Many male disciples in the Tang Sect fell in love with them.
Even the other eight of the top ten disciples were extremely moved, and one after another, they launched a courtship attack towards the beauty they admired.
Tang Xin's departure from the Tang Sect had a lot to do with this matter. Now that she wasn't young anymore, it was about time for her to get married. The elders in the sect were all persuading and pressuring her. She was also feeling quite uncomfortable, especially since she hadn't met the person she liked yet.
"Hmph, she better agree!
If she still doesn't know how to appreciate kindness, then don't blame me for being impolite … "
Thinking of this, Tang Nan couldn't help but feel angry. The smile on his face faded as he expressed his displeasure.
At this time, Tang Nan didn't look like the modest gentleman who was very polite to Qin Fang before. An obvious hostility flashed across his face. Coupled with the words he said, this person's temperament could be seen clearly.
Tang Wei didn't think much of it, but Tang Zhan frowned slightly. In the end, he didn't say anything …
