Hidden Tang Sect

Upon the unexpected return of their ancestor, Tang Yuyi, everyone from the Hidden Tang Sect was delighted that a celebration was immediately prepared for that night. Tang Yuan had command to prepare this welcoming banquet for his foster parents and masters. The whole Hidden Tang Clan was in a joyous mode due to this event. After finishing the introductions, Tang Yuan had brought his parents to check on his wife. His wife was also from the Tang Clan and her name is Tang Yuran.

Tang Yuan and his children were delighted to see Tang Yuran awake. Though she still looks pale due to prolonged poisoning, at the very least she no longer looks like she is dying and instead looks like someone who was about to recover completely. Bedridden, Tang Yuran can already sit up. Tang Yuan immediately hugged his wife and checked on her.

"Wife, you are finally awake!" Tang Yuan said. "How are you feeling? You still look pale."

"Husband, please calm down. Please mind the guests. I am feeling alright," said Tang Yuran as she smiled despite her paleness.

Tang Yuyi smacked her son’s head and said, "Move. Let me check on my daughter-in-law."

"Tang Yuran greets mother-in-law and father-in-law!"

"Please forgive this daughter-in-law for not being able to kneel to my parents!"

Despite not being able to stand, Tang Yuran still greeted Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu. She had already heard the news about her husband finding one of their ancestors, and that she is married. She immediately realized who the old couple was seeing when they arrived with her husband.

Tang Yuyi said, "Don’t worry about this. Let me check your pulse for a bit." She reached out gently and took her daughter-in-law’s pulse.

"There is a bit of trace of poison in your body," said the ancestor of the Hidden Tang Sect and pulled out a jade bottle with a detoxification pill.

Tang Yuran ate the pill without hesitation and felt refreshed once the pill took effect. Her paleness receded after eating the pill. She looked stunned and amazed by the pill as not only is it high quality without impurities, it also had an immediate effect. She now no longer feels tired and lethargic. Finally, seeing his wife completely cured, Tang Yuan hugged his wife in delight. He had been dreaming of this day for a very long time and no one would have expected it to finally arrive on the day he found his foster mother.

"Good with this you are finally okay. Us old people will walk around for a bit. Call us for dinner," said Tang Yuyi as she held her husband’s arm and dragged him towards the door.

Tang Yuran and Tang Yuan clasped their heads and lowered their heads towards the couple and gave them their heartfelt thanks. Once the old couple left, they could finally cuddle with each other and with their children. This is the best day in their lives.

"Yu’er, we are so lucky we met the Master on the Dawn Star. The one who solved your poison is the Goddess of the Moon. She killed the person who had poisoned you."

"The Empress is so amazing. That bad man from the Du Clan was reduced to a pool of blood!"

"There is also a senior. He seems to be an elf. That’s the first time I’ve seen an elf!"

The children of Tang Yuan and Tang Yuran told everything to their mother, especially their experiences in the Dawn Star. Seeing the Moon Empress is as rare as seeing the moon and sun together in the sky. That’s why these two children were amazed not only by her beauty but also her strength.

While the family of Tang Yuan was having a family reunion, Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu who was walking around the sect suddenly bumps into a conspiracy in some hidden alley. The content of the whispers were overheard by them and the couple immediately hid their presences and listened into the conversation.

"Dammit! How can the ancestor return right now?!"

"Watch your mouth! Don’t let others hear you!"

"The Du Clan is so useless! They can’t even kill Tang Yuran!"

"I told you we should have just targeted the children, not just his wife!"

"What now?! Not only has he returned alive! His wife was also cured. There is also a pair of old things getting in the way! Father, can we even take over this place!"

"Don’t worry. I will visit the Du Clan once again and seek their support. I will give you the position of Sect leader to you, son. Then we will seek the protection of that person as promised."

The conversation between the two people was overheard by Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu. Hearing the contents of the conversation, Tang Yuyi wanted to grab the two traitorous bastards and punish them.

Tang Yuyi whispered to her husband, "Let’s capture them."

Hearing the request of his wife, Tan Huangyu nods his head without hesitation. The two of them jumped on the two people and captured them. Tan Huangyu unhesitatingly unhinged the jaws of the two to prevent killing themselves and even blocked their qi to avoid self destruction. Tang Yuyi also did the same thing and grabbed these to be brought to Tang Yuan for judgement.

The old couple only brought the two before Tang Yuan after the celebration in the evening. The moment Tang Yuan saw the two his foster parents had dragged over, he was shocked. He recognized these two conscious men right away.

Tang Yuan asked, "Mother, Father, why did you bring the Supreme Elder and his son before this son?"

Sigh~

"Brat! Do you think your wife’s poisoning is done by the Du Clan alone? If no one is sending information to them, the sect wouldn’t get so hunted as you said before," said Tang Yuyi.

Tan Huangyu said, "We overheard them talking. These two seem to be the ones who asked the Du Clan to poison your wife and they planned to harm you and your family again."

"B-But why would they do such a thing?" Tang Yuan asked in disbelief.

Tang Yuyi said, "What else? They wanted to replace you and take your position!"

This time it wasn’t only Tang Yuan who was shocked but even his wife, Tang Yuran, didn’t expect this at all. After all, before their sect moved to this place, her husband and all the elders held a voting for who will take the position of leader. His husband, despite his disinterest in the position, was pushed by more than half of the elders to become the leader. If she remembers it right, the supreme elder pushed for his son instead of himself, that’s why her husband was chosen instead. After all, the son of the supreme elder is a prodigal bastard, who is not only a playboy but also isn’t that talented in hidden weapons.

The elders of the sect knew about this. That’s why if they had to choose between Tang Yuan and this playboy, they would choose Tang Yuan without hesitation. This choice had greatly offended the supreme elder and his son, but the elders do not care. After all, for the sake of their heritage they couldn’t allow someone so useless to become the leader of their sect.

Tang Yuyi said, "Handle this. We will listen in the shadows."

"Yes, Mother."

Tang Yuan restored the jaws of the two people and wanted to ask them they’ve done such a thing.

"Is the Ancestor saying the truth? You’ve collaborated with the Du Clan not only to poison my wife but also to kill those sect members of ours?" Tang Yuan asked.

The Supreme elder snorted while his son laughed like a madman.

Snorts~

Hahahaha~

"That’s right! We’ve done it. We had the Du Clan hunt those useless elders who dared not to vote for me and that bitch who dares to look at me like some kind of parasite!"

"Who do you think you are? You are just an outsider who was given the name of Tang while I was born as a Tang from the beginning to the end. Just because the ancestor had chosen to accept you in, do you think you are fit for the position as the Sect Leader?"

"You are just a mongrel that was picked up by the ancestor outside!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

SLAP!

The one who slapped the Supreme Elder’s son is none other than Tang Yuyi. "Who do I want to adopt as my son? Do you think you have a say in it?!"

Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu were hiding and listening in the dark when suddenly they heard this bastard looking down on Tang Yuan. Even though for Tan Huangyu, he had recently met this foster son, he had longed to hear about his existence from his wife a long time ago. That’s why he and Tan Shenyu were too accepting of Tang Yuan’s existence as they knew about him even before they met him. A good child that his wife and sister-in-law had taken in as their son and successor.

The appearance of the ancestor and her husband stunned the supreme elder and his son. They actually didn’t see who caught them as they fell unconscious even before they could move.

"Ancestor!!"
