When Tang Bai went to pick Tang Aoling up, he didn't explain the situation clearly.
He thought that no matter how strong Ling Xiao and his brother were, they wouldn't go overboard. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon can't suppress a snake in its territory.
He was only worried about what Ling Xiao and his brother would do to Tang Aoling, but he neglected Tang Aoling's arrogant and insufferably arrogant character.
"Bastard!" Tang Tianhao shouted angrily. He turned around and gave Tang Aoling a hard slap.
Slap!
Tang Aoling didn't know what was going on and was sent flying a few meters away by Tang Tianhao. Two bloody front teeth fell out of his mouth, and he looked indescribably embarrassed.
Tang Aoling was dumbfounded by the slap!
Why did his uncle, who had always doted on him, hit him?
"You little bastard! Come and apologize to Little Brother Ling! If you don't satisfy him, I'll break your legs!" Tang Tianhao shouted at Tang Aoling.
Tang Aoling was his second brother's only son, and he had always indulged Tang Aoling's stubborn behavior.
But now, it was a matter of the Tang Clan's future and whether they could get their hands on the Millennium Meteoric Iron.
Unexpectedly, this good-for-nothing nephew of his had first offended him, and now he actually dared to spout such arrogant words. It simply made him want to kill him with one palm.
"What are you waiting for? Go and apologize to Little Brother Ling!" Tang Jin frowned.
Tang Aoling glanced at the elders of his clan and shivered. He asked in confusion, "Master, Great Elder, why did you … for an outsider?"
Before he could finish, Tang Bai quickly interrupted him, "Aoling, you still don't know how to repent? Do you want Seventh Uncle to send you on your way?"
When he said this, he kept winking at Tang Aoling.
Tang Aoling finally knew that the two young men in front of him must have a powerful background. Otherwise, why would the higher-ups of the Tang Clan be so nervous and scold him like this?
"You don't know what's good for you! Go and apologize!" Tang Fu glared at Tang Aoling and shouted.
He knew that if it wasn't for Tang Aoling, his arm wouldn't have been broken. Although it could recover, it would be a disgrace to him, so he could only vent his anger on Tang Aoling.
Tang Aoling shuddered again. Tang Jin and Tang Fu were the pillars of the family, and they had a high status. Now that they were scolding him like this, he did not have the guts to say another word.
He crawled up and bowed slightly to Ling Xiao and Savage Leopard, "Sorry … I'm sorry, both of you!"
When he said this, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. He was the dignified Second Young Master of the Tang Family. When had he ever been bullied like this? But now, he could only swallow it down.
Ling Xiao didn't respond to Tang Aoling's apology because he could see the dissatisfaction in Tang Aoling's eyes. He thought to himself, Look at how reluctant you are. You think I'm the one who forced myself on you? What bad luck.
Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't respond, Tang Tianhao snorted coldly, "If you can't satisfy Little Brother Ling, you won't be a disciple of the Tang Family in the future."
Tang Aoling was scared by Tang Tianhao's words. His whole body softened and he begged, "I'm sorry, I looked down on you. It's my fault …"
Tang Aoling didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He kept covering his face and cried as he begged Ling Xiao.
If he was expelled from the Tang Family, he would be dismembered in less than a day. He didn't know how many people he had offended and how many women he had raped.
Ling Xiao still had to discuss business with the Tang Family, so he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Tang Family. He waved his hand and said, "For the sake of the Tang Family, I'll let this matter go. Next time, watch your eyes before you speak. How can there be a swindler as handsome as me in the world?"
"Thank you … Thank you …" Tang Aoling wiped his snot and thanked him repeatedly.
He felt lucky that he had escaped this calamity.
However, before he could finish, he heard Tang Tianhao's voice, "Go back. I'll punish you to forge iron at the Foundry Peak for five years before you can leave. That way, you won't be able to cause trouble all day long."
Tang Aoling's heart fell to the bottom.
The Foundry Peak was the place where the lowest position in the Tang Family was located. The main purpose of that place was to select the materials that could be forged from the ores that were transported back from various places. After those materials were filtered, they would be forged into various weapon shapes and sent to various departments to be forged into weapons.
It could be said that it was the most worthless and the most difficult place.
Tang Aoling, who had always been spoiled, had to live in such a place for five years. It was as if he was half dead.
Looking at Tang Aoling stumbling out of the restaurant, Tang Tianhao sighed in his heart, "I hope that his temper can be tempered there."
Tang Tianhao turned to Ling Xiao and said, "I wonder if Little Brother Ling is satisfied with this matter?"
Ling Xiao spread out his hands and said innocently, "This is Patriarch Tang's family matter. I really have no right to interfere."
Tang Tianhao was truly aggrieved in his heart. This fellow was purely acting obedient after getting Ping Yi, but for the sake of the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron, he had to endure it.
"Patriarch Tang, let's get back to business. Other than forging a spirit weapon, I don't want to discuss a big business with you. I wonder if Patriarch Tang is interested?"
Ling Xiao had already achieved his goal, so he no longer made things difficult for Tang Tianhao and changed the topic.
"Oh, that's good!" Tang Tianhao replied with interest.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, Tang Guang said, "Father, letting Brother Ling talk business with you here is really not the way our Tang Family treats our guests."
Tang Tianhao lightly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, this Tang is rude. Little Brother Ling has just arrived at Giant Summit City, why don't you come to my Tang Family to rest first and let us do our duty as a host.
Of course, Ling Xiao had no objections. He immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The restaurant was empty, and all the disciples of the Tang Family quickly evacuated.
Ling Xiao and the Savage Leopard followed Tang Tianhao and the others as they flew towards the Tang Family.
Ling Xiao looked at the land occupied by the Tang Family. It was indeed not inferior to an ordinary eighth grade sect. The land was vast, the mountains were beautiful, and the buildings were majestic and extraordinary.
Just as they approached the vicinity of the Tang Family, they immediately heard the sound of iron weapons clashing between the mountains. Occasionally, they could even see the shadows of spirit beasts soaring into the sky. It must be an abnormality when a certain profound artifact was completed.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, "As expected of a refining family. Just this skill alone is enough for them to survive for generations."
Ling Xiao followed the people of the Tang Family to the main pavilion of the Tang Family. After entering an elegant pavilion, someone immediately brought over exquisite spirit fruits and wine.
After a round of drinking and chatting, Tang Tianhao finally couldn't help but get to the point, "Little brother Ling, what do you think of our proposal?
Other than forging a spirit weapon for you, the rest of the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron can be bought or exchanged with our Tang Family. In this aspect, we will definitely satisfy you. "
"Tang Family Head, this matter is actually very easy to discuss." Ling Xiao said, keeping him in suspense.
"What do you mean?" Tang Tianhao asked doubtfully.
Ling Xiao took a sip of the wine and said to Tang Guoguo, "I believe Brother Tang has seen me in Gu City."
Tang Guoguo nodded very naturally.
Then, Ling Xiao said, "Actually, you are also curious about my identity. Now, for the sake of the cooperation between the two families, I will tell you my true identity. This is the first time I have revealed my identity."
As soon as Ling Xiao said this, it immediately attracted the curiosity of everyone present, especially Tang Guoguo and Tang Jin. They had seen Ling Xiao being followed by the Four Great Villains, and now that there was a young high level Earth Emperor beside him, they couldn't wait to know Ling Xiao's identity.
Ling Xiao said seriously, "Actually, I am the Prince Consort of the Gu Clan!"
Ling Xiao's words were not false. He was indeed the current Prince Consort of the Gu Clan, but he had another identity that was not convenient to reveal to them.
"Prince Consort of the Gu Clan?" The people of the Tang Family were shocked by Ling Xiao's identity.
Ten thousand years ago, the Gu Clan was the overlord of the Southern Wasteland. Even the current Devil Shadow Sect could not compare to them. This was enough to show the status of the Gu Clan in the Southern Wasteland.
The Gu Clan had disappeared for ten thousand years, and not many people knew that the Gu Clan still had descendants that existed between the boundaries of the Purple Sky Sect and the Moon Worshipping Sect.
If it was in the past, the Tang Family would definitely be shocked when they heard about the Gu Clan. But now, they only felt that it was a little inconceivable. Could it be that the Gu Clan was not completely exterminated?
"I know you are very suspicious, but this is not important. What is important is that I want to rebuild Gu City, and I will welcome my clansmen back soon." Ling Xiao did not explain in detail and continued.
"Little Brother Ling, you said so much, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal with the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron, right?" Tang Tianhao could not help but interrupt him.
He muttered in his heart, "Even if you are the Prince Consort of the Gu City, it has nothing to do with our Tang Family, and it seems to have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron. Why are you saying so much nonsense?"
Ling Xiao replied, "This is a big deal. I took out the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron from the clan's treasury. Other than refining a spirit weapon for me, I hope that it can make the Tang Family support us in rebuilding the city in the name of the Tang Family. What does the Tang Family think?"
Tang Tianhao frowned and replied, "Little Brother Ling, you think too highly of our Tang Family. Other than knowing how to forge iron, our Tang Family does not have any other strong points. I am afraid that we do not have the ability to help you rebuild the city!"
Tang Tianhao's words were obviously a tactful rejection. Even if the other party used the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron as a deal, he would not help the Gu Clan rebuild the city.
After all, rebuilding a city required a huge amount of money and manpower, and it was not something that could be completed in a day and night, so he could not accept it.
"Tang Family Head, you have misunderstood me. Listen to me first," Ling Xiao replied, then continued, "As for the rebuilding of the city, there will naturally be people who will help me with this matter. I only need the Tang Family Head to support our auction in Gu City, and provide us with high-grade profound weapons or spirit weapons to auction in the name of the Tang Family. Of course, the related income will still belong to the Tang Family, and we will take a smaller commission than other auctions."
"You mean to say that you want the Tang Family to provide the goods for the auction in Gu City?" Tang Tianhao replied.
"Yes, that is what I mean," Ling Xiao replied with a nod.
"Father, I think this is worth considering," Tang Ge interrupted from the side.
Tang Tianhao glanced at his son. Of course, he knew that his son did not want the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron to slip away from his hands. How could he not want it too? It was just that the implications were a little big, and he had to consider it carefully.
