Tang Yan hurried back to Yuan Xuan Peak, blaming herself in her heart. "I screwed up this time. Master will definitely be very angry!"
Tang Yan was actually very kind, but in Cangxuan Hall, she had received too much flattery and support since she was young. As a result, she had developed an unruly and willful personality!
The reason she provoked Yao Yue was to vent her anger and also to show Yao Yue her power and let her know that her senior sister was not to be trifled with!
But she didn't know that Yao Yue was someone who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Her actions had backfired on her!
But it was too late for regrets now. Yao Yue had taken someone else as her master. Wasn't that making her master look bad?
Who was her master?
He was a high-ranking elder of Cangxuan Hall, second only to the hall master and deputy hall masters. It would be a big deal if his face was tarnished!
Tang Yan returned to Yuan Xuan Peak and immediately went to find her master!
Tang Linfeng smiled kindly at Tang Yan and said, "Girl, you're not young anymore, but you still don't act like a proper girl!"
In his heart, he treated Tang Yan as his granddaughter and had always doted on her!
This time, Tang Yan didn't act coquettishly like before. Instead, she cried and knelt in front of him. "Master, I, I'm sorry!"
Tang Linfeng rarely saw Tang Yan like this. He helped her up and said, "Yan 'er, what's wrong?
Which blind brat bullied you? "
Tang Yan was unwilling to get up. "Master, I'm sorry. You asked me to bring Yao Yue back, but, but I screwed up!"
Tang Linfeng's expression changed. "What did you say?
How could I possibly screw this up? "
He felt that there were very few people in the world who would refuse to be his disciple.
He had given Yao Yue the Cangxuan Token and had already formed a good relationship with Yao Yue. He didn't think that Yao Yue would refuse to be his disciple!
Tang Yan returned the Cangxuan token to Tang Linfeng and told him everything that had happened between her and Yao Yue.
After hearing this, Tang Linfeng's face darkened. Tang Yan could tell that her master was very angry. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly. She just sobbed quietly, hoping that her master would stop scolding her!
"Oh, you!" Tang Linfeng looked at Tang Yan and shook his head in disappointment.
"Master, please punish me!
I-I really didn't do it on purpose! "Tang Yan said tearfully.
"What's done can't be undone. What's the use of punishing you?" Tang Linfeng sighed softly, then continued, "I didn't expect that Yao Yue would even alarm him!
Looks like he really does have great potential. I was too conceited, and that's why I missed this opportunity. "
"Master, who is that old man?
Why do I feel like he's so scary? "Tang Yan mustered up her courage and asked.
"If there's anyone in the Sacred Land who's better than me in the origin searching technique, it has to be that old man!"
Tang Linfeng said as he looked in the direction of Cangxuan City. Then, he waved his hand at Tang Yan and said, "You can leave now. Reflect on this in the future. Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering in the future!"
Tang Yan could hear the disappointment in her master's tone, and her heart ached for some reason.
She had been taken in by her master since she was young. She had received her master's care and guidance, but she had really disappointed her master this time!
"No, I must make him acknowledge master as his master. I can't disappoint him!
I can definitely do it! "Tang Yan made up her mind. After excusing herself from Tang Linfeng, she left.
After Tang Yan left, Tang Linfeng muttered to himself, "Yan 'er's talent in cultivation is even greater than her proficiency in the origin searching technique. It seems that I have to make her pay more attention to her cultivation!"
After a pause, he continued, "I didn't expect Yao Yue to even alarm that old fart. He's someone that even the hall master respects and fears. It seems that Yao Yue and I are not fated to be together!"
Having said that, he flew in the direction of Cangxuan Peak.
Mo Ye had already returned to Mu Xuan Peak and was meeting with his elder brother, Mo Sen.
Mo Ye said to Mo Sen. "Those mundane people exceeded our expectations, especially that kid. He's already a true origin searching master, and he's much stronger than Tang Linfeng's disciples!"
"So what? They're going to stay in Cangxuan Hall, and we're still high ranking elders. Can't we think of a way to deal with them?" Mo Sen.
"It would be great if that was the case!
But that kid alarmed that old fart, Solitarius, and he accepted that kid as his disciple! "Mo Ye said with a depressed look.
Others may not know Solitarius, but as high ranking elders of Cangxuan Hall, how could they not know the old fart who suddenly came to Cangxuan City a hundred years ago and entered the Cangxuan Stone Workshop by force and trickery?
There were elders who wanted to drive away this inexplicable person, but they were all thrown out of the workshop one by one. Since then, no one dared to provoke the old fart who was about to die!
Originally, the old fart was only going to borrow the workshop for a hundred years and then leave!
But he actually accepted a disciple at this time. Mo Ye had no choice but to take this seriously!
"What, that old fart who hasn't moved for many years not only moved, but also accepted that kid as his disciple?" Mo Sen exclaimed as he stood up.
His face was filled with both hatred and fear because he was one of the people who had been thrown out of the workshop by that old fart.
He would never forget that humiliation for the rest of his life, but he knew that it was impossible for him to take revenge!
Now that he heard that the old fart had accepted Yao Yue as his disciple, how could he not lose his composure?
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes!
That old fart even forcefully accepted that kid as his disciple! "Mo Ye smiled bitterly.
"Damn it!" Mo Sen cursed angrily and smashed his seat into powder with a palm strike!
The He clan of Cangxuan City had just lost their position as city lord and had no choice but to move out of the city lord's residence.
Even without the city lord's residence, they were still living in one of the more luxurious and spacious mansions in Cangxuan City!
In the He clan's hall, patriarch He Lang was listening to his subordinate's report on what had happened in the Cangxuan Stone Workshop.
He Lang immediately stood up with a smile on his face. "You may leave. Also, get someone to bring the young miss up. I have something to say to her."
Soon, He Wei walked into the hall with an unwilling expression. She did not bow to her father and instead said with anger in her eyes, "When are you going to let me return to the hall!?"
After being brought back by He Lang, she was not only ridiculed by the entire He clan, but she was also grounded from leaving the clan and had to wait for their next arrangements!
This was why He Wei was very unhappy, but she had no way of escaping.
"If you want to leave, you can do so now!" He Lang surprisingly revealed a rare and harmonious smile.
He Wei became vigilant when she saw her father's smile and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
She refused to believe that her father would let her return to the hall so easily this time.
He Lang said, "Why do you think that I, as a father, only know how to use my own daughter?"
"That's the kind of father you are!" He Wei said with certainty.
"Alright, I admit it. However, I'm doing this for the sake of the He clan. As the patriarch of the He clan, I can't only think about myself or my daughter. I also have to think about how to maximize the benefits of the clan!
This is also why I betrothed you to Mo Yunfei! "He Lang said." However, I'm doing this for your own good!
I believe you know the situation in Mo Yunfei's clan. If you marry into their clan, you'll naturally have a better life!
Unfortunately, you still went against my wishes in the end, causing the He clan to lose its original status!
As your father, I have no choice but to punish you to prevent others from saying that I've failed in my duties as the patriarch! "
"You don't need to tell me so much. I won't believe you because I've never felt like a member of the He clan. I'm just your subordinate. No, I'm just your chess piece, a chess piece that allows you to continue living a superior life!" He Wei said with certainty.
"Think whatever you want!
I won't interfere with your marriage anymore. If you want to be with that Long Aoyuan, then so be it!
When you have time, bring him over to visit. No matter what, he's still my son-in-law! "He Lang said.
He Wei was stunned. She didn't understand why her father had changed his mind so quickly.
"Did something happen in the past two days?" He Wei asked herself.
She then left the He clan and flew toward the inn where Long Aoyuan had stayed.
In the Ashen Stone Workshop, Yao Yue, Long Tianba, and Long Aoyuan arrived at the third floor of the stone courtyard.
They realized that the essence energy in this layer of courtyard was incomparably dense, and the old stones inside were all strange and strange. Every single one of them had a unique quality, and these were all precious stones. Every single one of them was priced at least one cubic meter or more!
However, they didn't have time to admire the stones for the time being. Instead, they followed Solitarius into a stone house.
Solitarius looked at Long Tianba and Long Aoyuan and said, "Choose a place here and build two stone houses for yourselves. I won't be entertaining you."
Before Long Tianba and Long Aoyuan could say anything, Yao Yue spoke first, "Master, these two are my grandfather, Long Tianba, and my third uncle, Long Aoyuan!"
"You don't have to remind me who they are!
You are my disciple, so I will naturally pay attention to them!
No one will dare to touch them in Cangxuan City. If they don't like living here, they can move out! "
Solitarius said. He paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't have much time left. I don't want to waste any time with anyone. In the future, apart from listening to my teachings, you can spend the rest of your time meditating outside the courtyard. This is also a form of cultivation!"
"Senior is an expert. Yue Er, just listen to him!
Your third uncle and I will settle our own matters! "Long Tianba said to Yao Yue.
Long Aoyuan said, "That's right. With senior looking after us, there's nothing for us to worry about. We can cultivate to our heart's content!"
Having said that, Long Tianba and Long Aoyuan turned around and left the stone house.
