Shocked

"Father! Sister Lingyan!" Tang Yuan exclaimed in surprise after the two people entered her room, and she immediately approached them before hugging his father.

"Haha." Tang Huang laughed and hugged his daughter back for a moment, and he then grabbed Tang Yuan's shoulders. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you and those kids for the past seven years. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to break through to the tyrant level, but I'm proud to see you have reached the peak king level now."

"It's okay; we can understand your feelings, so we don't mind it." Tang Yuan then turned to Tantai Lingyan and briefly hugged her. "I didn't expect you to break through after disappearing for a year, Sister Lingyan."

"Hehe." Tantai Lingyan chuckled at that. "I myself didn't expect to break through, and I previously thought that I would still need a year or two to break through. However, I suddenly had enlightenment, so my breakthrough this time was truly a stroke of luck."

"No matter what, your cultivation is on par with my father now."

"Long time no see, Uncle Huang and Sister Lingyan." Feng Yao, who was also there, greeted them as she approached them.

"Long time no see, Little Yao." However, Tang Huang was shocked after he sensed Feng Yao's cultivation. "Since when did you break through to the lower emperor level?"

"Half a year ago." Feng Yao then glanced at Tantai Lingyan, who seemed curious about her cultivation. "Just like you, I also got enlightenment after I discussed something with my grandfathers, but I had difficulty breaking through, so my father stepped in and helped me to break through."

"Fortunately, your father was born with a special ability, and he was able to help other cultivators break through." Tantai Lingyan then asked Tang Yuan. "Where are they? We previously went to the hospital, and the nurse told us that Yin'er had woken up from her coma. Besides, Xiao'er should have been out of prison, and we thought that they should be together, but we couldn't find them at Tang House."

Tang Yuan exchanged glances with her best friend for a moment before asking Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan to sit with them. "Many things have changed in the last few days, and Xiao'er is indeed out of prison now. However, he almost died before because Ouyang Qing sent her father's subordinates to kill him, but he managed to escape death, and he is good now."

"That little bitch!" Tantai Lingyan was cursed with rage, and her aura leaked out involuntarily, causing Tang Yuan and Feng Yao to tremble in fear, but Tang Huang touched her shoulder to calm her down. "Those two kids are truly similar to their father! All of them are assholes! Seven years ago, that little bitch framed Xiao'er, and his future was ruined because of that, but she was still not satisfied and wanted to kill him. Besides, that little bastard also intended to do such an evil thing to Yin'er, which made her decide to jump from the building. If Wang Fuxi hadn't stopped me, I would have destroyed them long ago!"

"All right, you don't need to be angry like this, right? Yuan'er said Xiao'er is fine, and Yin'er has also woken up from her coma, so we can gather with them again." Tang Huang then turned to his daughter. "Then where are they now?"

"Fahter, I don't know where they are now." Tang Yuan was forced to lie to Tang Huang because the primordial divine ark was Tang Xiao's secret, and Feng Yao was with them, so she couldn't reveal it. "However, you will meet Xiao'er at Mu House tonight, especially since he has disguised himself as Yi An's private chauffeur."

"Has Xiao'er gone mad? Why did he intrude into the lion's den? Don't they recognize him?" Tantai Lingyan asked in a high voice.

"Hahahaha!" Instead, Tang Yuan and Feng Yao burst out laughing, and Tantai Lingyuan became even angrier at seeing them like that.

"Gezz! You're so old now, but you're still as temperamental as ever."

"Damn you, Old Man!" Tantai Lingyuan became furious hearing Tang Huang's words, and she pointed her finger at him while scolding him. "Look at you! You're the one who's old now! Even all your hair has turned white! As for me, I'm still no less beautiful than the two of them! Don't ever call me old again, or I'll fight you!"

Tang Huang shut his mouth and turned his face to the side. 'Woman! She's too sensitive about age! Obviously, she was already over sixty years old, but she still thinks she is still young!'

"Humph!" Tantai Lingyan snorted at Tang Huang before facing the two women again. "Tell me Xiao'er's reasons for daring to infiltrate that damn family."

"Sister Lingyan, I know you love Xiao'er like your biological son, but you don't need to worry about him." Tantai Lingyan frowned at Tang Yuan. "To tell you the truth, he and Yin'er are cultivators now, so he can take care of himself."

"What?" Instantly, Tang Huang cried out in shock, and Tantai Lingyan also looked shocked after hearing that. "Are you the one who introduced them to the world of cultivation?"

"No." Tang Yuan shook her head at them, and she then explained to them about the process that Tang Xiao went through before he and Tang Yin became cultivators. "However, I don't know the identity of Xiao'er's savior because he himself doesn't know anything about him, and that person is already dead to save him."

"Who do you think that person is, Old Huang? It's truly unusual for a cultivator to sacrifice himself for someone who has no relation to him."

Tang Huang shook his head. "I can't guess that person's identity, especially since I've been in seclusion for the past seven years, so I don't have any news about Earth II. Even so, I'm truly grateful because he has done so much good for Xiao'er, or else I've lost him now."

"You're right; I'm also grateful and indebted to him." Tantai Lingyan then asked again. "Did anything else happen while we were away?"

"Sister Lingyan, many things happened in the past few days, and Xiao'er was the mastermind behind all those events."

"Yao is right; Xiao'er has done a lot in the past few days, and two of those families have disappeared now." Tang Yuan then recounted to them all the events that had happened, including the deaths of Ran Linfeng and Ran Qingfeng.

However, Tantai Lingyan looked at Tang Yuan in disbelief, and she felt that she no longer knew the current Tang Xiao because his changes were too drastic. 'What actually happened to my innocent Xiao'er? Why has he become a cold-blooded murderer now?'

Tang Huang was not surprised by Tantai Lingyan's reaction, especially since he knew her character well. "Did Xiao'er really do all that? How could he destroy them so quickly? I don't care about the destruction of the Yao family, but the Ran family is still Jing'er's family, and Zhao Yuxian is her little sister. Moreover, Zhao Teng wouldn't remain silent about that family's destruction, and he would target Xiao'er."

"You don't need to think about that old bastard, Father." Tang Yuan spoke as she shook her head. "No one knew that Xiao'er was still alive except me, Feng Yao, and Zhao Qing. Besides, other people also didn't know about the deaths of Ran Linfeng and Ran Qingfeng, and they thought that both of them had disappeared. As for Zhao Yuxian, he locked her up in a special place where no one else would be able to find her, and her twin daughters lived with Yin'er."

"Where is that place?"

"Father, if you want to know about that place, then you can ask Xiao'er about it when you meet him tonight. As for Yin'er, she's probably there now, so you can meet her later."

Tang Huang couldn't help but sigh in his heart at his daughter's answer, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to force Tang Yuan to speak if she already said it like that, so he then asked her some other things.

After they had talked quite a bit, Tang Huang said goodbye to the two women. He then took Tantai Lingyan, who was still lost in thought, and left the office.

After they left, Feng Yao left her best friend's office to take care of something, and Tang Yuan went straight into the ark to meet her niece and nephew.

After he tried for so long, Tang Xiao still couldn't move his body an inch under three times the gravity pressure, so he asked Xiao Ai to turn off the gravity device, and he let out a heavy sigh. "Triple gravity is still too much for me, so I have to think of something to adapt to it as quickly as possible."

"Xiao'er!"

"Hmm?" Tang Xiao turned to Tang Yuan, who was calling out to him from a distance. He immediately got up from the floor before coming over to him. "What happened, Aunt Yuan?"

"Your grandfather and master are back, and they just came back from my office." Tang Xiao's expression turned excited after hearing the news from Tang Yuan. "I've told them that you and Yin'er have become cultivators, and I've also told them about your actions against those people. However, I didn't tell them about this place, especially since Feng Yao was with us earlier."

"Then where are they now? Are they waiting for us at home?"

"No." Tang Yuan shook her head at him. "They're probably going to Sister Lingyan's house now, but you'll meet them at the Mu house tonight."

"Mu House?" Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows for a moment, but he remembered Yi An's message to him. "I will indeed go there tonight, so I'll meet them later."

Tang Xiao then walked towards Xing Xing, who was trying to do basic martial arts, and he also took out a wedding certificate.

Tang Yuan, who was surprised to see that, immediately asked him. "Whose marriage certificate is that?"

"This is my marriage certificate with her." Tang Xiao answered as he pointed at Xing Xing.

"Xing'er?" Tang Yuan was even more surprised after she looked at Xing Xing. "Since when did you two get together?"

"Honestly, I just met her again a few days ago, and Xing has liked me for a very long time, so I decided to take her as my girlfriend." Soon, they arrived in front of Xing Xing, and Tang Xiao gave the marriage certificate to her. "You can stop for a moment and read this."

"This." Xing Xing stared at Tang Xiao in a daze after reading their names on the marriage certificate.

Seeing her like that, Tang Xiao pulled her close and kissed her lips, and his action brought Xing Xing back to her senses, but she felt embarrassed when she saw Tang Yuan, so she pinched his waist.

"Hiss! Why are you pinching me so hard? Are you unhappy with our marriage?"

Xing Xing pouted her lips and glanced at Tang Yuan, who was smiling amusedly at them. She embraced her before teasing her. "Since you are now a member of our family due to your marriage to Xiao'er, there is no need for you to feel embarrassed with me."

"Don't tease me, Aunt Yuan." Xing Xing softly exclaimed, and she then spoke to Tang Xiao. "Even though this marriage certificate is authentic, I am not your wife yet, and I will only become your wife after you marry me in public."

Even though she said that, Xing Xing's heart was actually full of joy because she had become Tang Xiao's wife, and her face turned red at the thought of several things, including their wedding night.

"Haha." Tang Xiao laughed at that. "Sure! I will marry you in public soon."

"I still have other things to do, so I have to go back now, and you two can have fun."

After Tang Yuan left, Tang Xiao began to teach Xing Xing to practice martial arts properly, and he taught her from the very basics, like stances and everything else.
