Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, Fang Han’s bloody face became pale as a ghost.
“How…how…I don’t want to die…I… don’t want to die.” Fang Han’s voice grew lower and lower amidst his incredulous muttering.
Finally, he passed out from the loss of too much blood.
Contradictory emotions flashed across Tang Luo’s eyes. He thought: If you had anticipated the current situation, perhaps you wouldn’t have betrayed us.
Yet, there are no opportunities for rebirth in this world. If a mistake is made, one must pay the price for it.
The payment for your mistake this time happened to be your life.
Tang Luo walked over to Fang Han’s body, extracted the star-child from within him, embraced his corpse, and threw it into a pit.
As if suddenly remembering something, Tang Luo walked over and picked up a piece of white jade from the ground.
This was Fang Han’s jade pendant-a proof of his heritage. He originally thought that it could help him find clues, but it seemed unnecessary now.
Tang Luo shook his head, feeling a sense of loss.
He threw the jade pendant onto Fang Han’s chest in the pit and buried it with dirt.
Such a brilliantly talented youth, buried by the riverside of Lingjiang due to his momentary greed. Feeling deep sorrow, Tang Luo silently recited a eulogy:
May you make no mistakes in your next life, and if you do, may you have the strength to bear them.
The star-child is retrieved, and the traitor is slain.
Ready to return home, Tang Luo used the beast command to recall the Sky Piercing Beast that had run off somewhere, and together, they once again walked through the mist, piercing the clouds.
From a large tree in the distance by the Lingjiang River, Yuan Zhun gently relaxed the bowstring in his hand and separated the bow and arrow.
As Xu Shuhui’s guardian martial artist, his task was to follow Tang Luo and ensure his safety. If everything was under control, he would remain hidden. If Tang Luo was in danger, he was required to prioritize Tang Luo’s safety above
all else.
In any case, Tang Luo had to be safely escorted back to Tang Mansion.
He had been hidden in the tree for a while, his figure seemingly blending into the leaves. Even if you looked carefully, all you could see was a vague silhouette
of green.
From the moment Fang Han appeared on the scene, he had his longbow drawn to form a full moon, arrowhead pointing directly at Fang Han’s throat. With his pinnacle Mortal Realm cultivation level, his “Flowing Light Piercing Shadows” attack was faster than sound, capable of killing Fang Han within a second.
When Fang Han released a hundred Spirit Blades, Yuan Zhun nearly released his arrow, but looking at Tang Luo’s extraordinary confidence, he forcefully suppressed his urge to fire.
If the Spirit Blades get within three inches of Tang Luo without any changes to the situation, he decided he would disregard his cover and directly assassinate
Fang Han.
But the scene unfolding before his eyes completely shattered Yuan Zhun’s understanding. He couldn’t believe that the spiral whirlwind attack was generated by an ordinary person without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.
Even if he were to face such a formidable attack, he would be injured. He couldn’t help but wonder, did such a young man really need his protection?
Storing his arrow back, hanging his longbow over his shoulder, Yuan Zhun curled his index finger in his mouth and gave a loud whistle. From a distance, a Ground Lizard sprung out of the dirt.
Regardless of whether Tang Luo needed protection or not, he still had to complete his mission.
The Sky Piercing Beast raced towards Xiling, while the Ground Lizard closely followed underneath with its grunting sounds.
The speed of the Sky Piercing Beast was astounding, covering a distance of more than four hundred miles in a little over two hours. By the time Tang Luo arrived back at Tang Mansion, the lights in the dining hall were still on.
“I actually made it back in time for dinner.” Tang Luo handed the Sky Piercing Beast over to the servants of the Spirit Beast Garden, changed his bloodied clothes, and headed towards the dining hall without even taking a bath.
Truthfully, he was starving. He stormed out without having lunch, and now it was already nightfall.
As soon as Tang Luo entered the dining hall, he heard a kid’s cheerful shout. “Brother, you’re back!” The little boy called out to Tang Luo, grinning from ear to ear.
“Father, mother.” Tang Luo first greeted Tang Sen and Xu Shuhui, Tang Sen, as always, was steady. He nodded at Tang Luo, signifying that he had seen him returned, then continued eating at his own pace.
Mother Xu Shuhui stood up, added a big spoonful of food to Tang Luo’s bowl, and gently asked, “Where have you been, Luo Er? Why are you so late?” “Right, right, where did you go, brother?” the little boy asked curiously. Wait, is that a trick question? You just want to know all the gossip, don t you?
“My servant betrayed me and I went to chase him. That s all.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became silent; even Tang Sen s chopsticks paused.
After Tang Luo’s brief description, he started eating. Why did he describe it like that? Not because he wanted to shrug it off, but because someone would tell
Xu Shuhui the details.
Although with his ability, it was indeed hard to see Yuan Zhun blending with the shade of the tree, could he not see the clear 9999 (3920.8) right above his head?
Without a doubt, as soon as he left, his mother sent this strong Peak Transcendent to protect him. Otherwise, there would not have been such a strong figure stealthily hiding in the trees in the distance.
As for the details, Tang Luo thought when that great expert comes back, he would report to his mother. He didn’t need to do others’ work.
Moreover, boasting about killing a Mortal Realm warrior in front of his father, the First Head of the Martial Hall, wouldn’t exactly give him a sense of accomplishment.
After all, he’s not that silly Tang Xing.
“Then, did you catch up to him, brother!” the silly little boy asked with an angry face. He couldn’t believe that someone would dare to betray his kind brother.
Tang Luo’s mouth was full of food; he could only puff his cheeks and nod at the little boy, acknowledging his question.
Upon hearing that his brother caught the traitor, the little boy was still angry, grumbling, “He must be caught and locked up, then see if he dares to do it again.”
“No need,” Tang Luo finally swallowed his food.
“Why?” the little boy didn’t understand.
“Because, he’s already dead.” Tang Luo finished speaking, picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and put them in his bowl; he then stuffed a big mouthful of rice and vegetables into his mouth.
The little boy, who had just been asking questions, froze upon hearing that the traitor was dead.
He never thought that his kind brother would kill. In his memory, his brother was a very kind person, although he was sometimes a little narrow-minded.
It was sudden to discover that his brother had chased after and killed a traitor. He had a hard time accepting this change in character.
On the other hand, when Xu Shuhui heard that Fang Han was dead, a bit of the rage in her heart dissipated.
In her heart, her son was the best child in the world. Choosing a child from outside the number two practice field as a servant had already been a considerable grace and favor. However, the ungrateful thing chose to run away, it was like his heart had been obscured by lard.
Thinking of her son’s total loss of spiritual power, it must have been Yuan Zhun who had killed him. Good!
“Son, don’t feel sad, this kind of ungrateful wretch, no matter how good you are to him, he won’t appreciate it.” Xu Shuhui said as she served Tang Luo a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.
“Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, don’t learn from your father.” Xu Shuhui instructed.
Tang Sen, who was eating voraciously, felt particularly wronged but had no energy to refute it. He could only protest by eating with bigger bite.
But Xu Shuhui hadn’t finished speaking, “That person’s name is Fang…Fang Han, right? I heard from Housekeeper Chang mentioning him. He’s a talented young man. But after all, he’s not a warrior we trained ourselves. He’s mercenary and ungrateful. Next time, choose a family warrior as a servant. It’s more reliable to use someone we trained ourselves.”
Tang Luo, of course, heard his mother’s comforting words. But because of the appearance of the Star Pavilion, he felt that he no longer needed to choose servants, so he responded, “No need, mother, I don’t plan to choose servants anymore. I will think about it when I need to build a mansion in the future.
After speaking, Tang Luo continued eating..
