At this mont, Tang Hao had returned to the Tang family, he though:
"Although I can handle it myself, it’s better to be cautious. This ti the target is a high-level cultivator, so I absolutely can’t be careless."
He looked toward a magnificent mansion and said:
"It seems I need to et Grandfather."
The grandfather he referred to was the forr family head, Tang Wei, a cultivator at the early stage of the body refinent realm.
He wasn’t particularly interested in cultivation, but his willpower was strong. In the ten years since he retired, he had reached the early stage of the body refinent realm. He did this to enjoy his retirent years with health and comfort.
The Tang family, being a great family, naturally had more than just a few mbers. Just the direct lineage of the Tang family alone had more than a hundred people.
"You’ve been following for so many days, you must be tired, right?" Tang Hao said.
The people following him responded in unison:
"Young Master, we are not tired!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao laughed and said:
"Ha ha, not tired, huh? My stamina isn’t worse than yours, yet I feel tired. I’ll give you a week’s vacation. During this ti, I won’t be leaving here, so rest assured. You’ll still get paid during your leave."
"Thank you very much, Young Master. You are truly too kind."
His bodyguards were moved to nearly the point of tears. Their young master always treated them well. The only flaw he had was his blind love for Gu Zhou Jian, but apart from that, there was nothing to criticize.
He lived very amiably with everyone, treated his subordinates kindly, and acted decisively when dealing with work and enemies. He was an outstanding candidate for the next family head from a very young age.
However, despite all this, he was still only in his twenties, and young people naturally had their pride. Especially since Jun Wu Xiao had taken the person he had loved unrequitedly for over ten years, he couldn’t tolerate it.
His love story could only be described with the word ’perseverance.’ His persistence was sothing even Tang Jie didn’t know how to stop.
The issue was that he had loved Gu Zhou Jian since the Gu family still existed. The two families had been long-ti rivals. Seeing his son love the daughter of an opponent put Tang Jie in a very difficult position.
Although he had many children, Tang Hao was the one he loved and was most proud of. This might seem quite discriminatory, but it was due to Tang Hao’s capacity. Despite not being the oldest, Tang Hao’s level far surpassed those of his generation within the Tang family.
According to the agreent of the battle that year, Gu Zhou Jian should have been killed as well, since all her brothers and relatives were killed. At that ti, the two families agreed that after the battle, the losing side would be exterminated. If the Gu family lost, all mbers with the Gu surna would die.
If the Tang family lost, all mbers with the Tang surna would die. However, the agreent only applied to cultivators below the bone-forging realm, as those in the bone-forging realm and above did not participate in the battle. They were respected cultivators in the world and thus should not be killed.
Bone-forging realm cultivators were busy fighting other battles, which occurred once every ten years. This was organized by the court, and participation was mandatory to prepare for any potential enemy attacks. As for cultivators in the food avoidance realm, they ran too fast to be captured, so they were allowed to volunteer.
That year, Tang Hao took a risky move, he threatened to commit suicide to save Gu Zhou Jian’s life. She didn’t know about this, and he never told her.
Seeing his son take such a drastic asure, and since Gu Zhou Jian showed no hostility toward the Tang family, Tang Jie spared her life.
After that incident, her feelings for him didn’t change. She simply felt a bit more goodwill toward him. However, his persistence was botherso to her.
She and Jun Wu Xiao were alike, cultivating only to beco strong enough to avoid being threatened by anything. By then, she could travel freely and admire the world without worry.
Since Tang Hao was so persistent, being closer now only made him clingier. However, he never did anything inappropriate. Being near her made him too shy to do anything. He didn’t even have the courage to hold her hand but still liked to follow her around.
After many years, she couldn’t take it anymore, and just at the right mont, she decided to run away after stealing sothing. That’s when she t Jun Wu Xiao, which infuriated Tang Hao as he was now.
Tang Hao walked up to the magnificent mansion and rang the bell. He said:
"Grandfather, it’s ."
After a while, the door opened, revealing an old man dressed like he was going to the beach. His body was also very toned, this man was none other than Tang Wei.
Seeing his grandfather’s lethargic and quirky appearance left Tang Hao speechless. He said:
"Grandfather, were you sunbathing in the garden again?"
Tang Wei wagged his index finger and said:
"Wrong. I was sunbathing and fishing."
That’s right, he was fishing in the garden. Although they called it a garden, it was actually quite large, and it had a pond with many types of fish big enough for him to catch.
He loved fishing but was too lazy to move around, so he built a fishing pond in his garden. Now, his life was like salted fish, every day just fishing, sunbathing, and cooking the fish he caught. Thanks to this, his skill in cooking freshwater fish dishes was among the top chefs in the world.
Tang Wei put his arm around Tang Hao and said:
"Co inside. You look tired. I just finished making the perfect grilled fish, co in and have a bite."
Although Tang Hao ca to discuss important matters, his grandfather’s cooking was so good that it would be a pity not to eat. So he didn’t refuse. He smiled and said:
"Ha ha, grandfather’s grilled fish is the best in the world."
Hearing the sincere praise, with not a hint of flattery, from his grandson, Tang Wei laughed heartily:
"Ha ha ha, exactly. When it cos to cooking freshwater fish, my na is surely at the top of the world."
Looking at his carefree deanor, no one on the street would believe that he was the forr head of one of the leading families in the capital.
