Old Tang’s tavern?
Bai Xiaofan frowned slightly, sensing that sothing was amiss.
After parting with Zhan Xing, Bai Xiaofan spent the whole day with Su Shiqi.
It wasn’t until the evening when Bai Xiaofan left Su Shiqi’s place, alone.
However, instead of going ho, Bai Xiaofan chose to visit Old Tang’s tavern!
On one hand, it was because of what Zhan Xing had said during the day.
On the other hand, Bai Xiaofan had recalled soone while at Su Shiqi’s.
Tang Kexing!
The family head of the Tangs in Arica’s Chinatown!
He rembered Tang Kexing once telling him that, many years ago, before he left China, their Tang family had suffered a great disaster.
His brother, Tang Jiayuan, died in that tragedy, and with him, the family’s cultivation technique vanished as well.
Yet now, the family head of the Tang family in Chang province was also nad Tang Jiayuan.
Although he couldn’t be sure the two were the sa person, intuition told Bai Xiaofan that the current Tang family head, Tang Jiayuan, was very likely the sa Tang Jiayuan who died all those years ago.
What shocked Bai Xiaofan the most was that Uncle Tang seed to bear a resemblance to Tang Kexing!
Recalling the old man Tang Kexing’s entrustnt before leaving, Bai Xiaofan felt it necessary to clarify things.
On his way to the tavern, Bai Xiaofan directly called Bai Hu on his phone, asking him to co to the tavern.
“Mr.
Bai, it’s been a long ti since you last visited, huh!”
Upon arriving at the tavern, Uncle Tang ca to greet him and, as always, brewed a pot of tea for Bai Xiaofan first.
“Yes, I’ve been abroad recently.
Just like before, bring two pots of wine and a few dishes!”
Bai Xiaofan replied with a smile, but his eyes were subtly scrutinizing Uncle Tang’s face.
The more he looked, the more he saw Tang Kexing of Chinatown in him!
“By the way, Uncle Tang, what’s your real na?”
Once Uncle Tang had brought the wine and dishes to the table, Bai Xiaofan asked casually.
Yet, this casual question caused Uncle Tang’s body to pause involuntarily.
“Ah, it’s been so many years since anyone called by it, I really can’t quite rember it now!”
After a brief lapse, Uncle Tang sighed softly and sat down on a chair beside him.
“On my recent trip to Arica, I t an elderly gentleman also surnad Tang, nad Tang Kexing.
I wonder if you know him?”
When Bai Xiaofan said this, his gaze was fixed on Uncle Tang’s eyes.
Eyes are the hardest to deceive.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure—all are clearly reflected in a person’s eyes.
Unless that person’s depth of character is so profound that it baffles others!
Sure enough, the mont Bai Xiaofan ntioned Tang Kexing, Uncle Tang’s hand, poised to grab a cigarette, paused in midair.
After a long while, Uncle Tang’s hand trembling, finally managed to light a cigarette after several attempts.
After taking a few deep puffs, Uncle Tang lifted his head to look at Bai Xiaofan.
And at this mont, his aged eyes were brimming with tears.
“How is Kexing doing?”
After staring at Bai Xiaofan for a long ti, Uncle Tang finally asked with a quivering voice, expressing the doubt in his heart.
“He’s doing okay, he has a good reputation in Chinatown, owns a martial arts hall, and has a company, all of which are now managed by his son!”
Hearing Uncle Tang’s words, Bai Xiaofan hesitated for a mont before responding truthfully.
“Kexing has a son now, that’s wonderful!”
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the smile that crept onto Uncle Tang’s aged face was one of great relief.
After lighting a cigarette, Uncle Tang slowly began to share his own story with Bai Xiaofan.
It turned out that Uncle Tang’s real na was Tang Wenbin!
He had two older brothers.
The second brother was Tang Kexing, who lived far away in Arica!
The eldest brother was none other than Tang Jiayuan, the Family Head of the Tang family in Chang Province!
In fact, the trip they went on was a joint venture between the three brothers.
Partway through, he found Tang Kexing and said that he didn’t want to continue and wished to return ho.
Tang Kexing scolded him, saying he lacked ambition.
What Tang Kexing didn’t know was that Wenbin’s departure was out of compulsion.
Unintentionally, he stumbled upon Tang Jiayuan conspiring with others to seize the Tang family’s cultivation techniques and to eradicate the entire Tang family.
At that mont, he was utterly shocked!
Why would his eldest brother collude with outsiders to steal the family’s cultivation techniques and kill his own kin?
Carrying these doubts, when he returned to his room and intended to inform Tang Kexing of the matter, Tang Jiayuan found him.
He was threatened to rush ho imdiately or else Tang Jiayuan would kill both Kexing and him right then and there!
Being young at the ti, Wenbin was frightened by Tang Jiayuan’s threat and returned ho.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jiayuan had those n follow him all the way to their Tang residence.
As soon as he revealed the situation to his father, those n suddenly burst in and killed the entire Tang family!
And from his dying father’s words, he learned that Tang Jiayuan was not his biological brother, but had been adopted from outside the family.
With his family’s protection, Wenbin managed to escape.
He had intended to find Tang Kexing, but ultimately, he received news that Kexing had already died.
He had strongly desired to avenge his death, to seek retribution against Tang Jiayuan, the ungrateful wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Unexpectedly, Tang Jiayuan also vanished after that!
Until many years ago, when Tang Ying had just been born, Wenbin, due to business in Chang Province, accidentally spotted the now successful and established Tang Jiayuan.
At the sa ti, Jiayuan noticed him.
Under Jiayuan’s pursuit, Wenbin, with his daughter in tow, settled down in Nanjiang City, but his wife died at the hands of the killers sent after them.
Throughout these years, Wenbin lived with extre caution.
Even when Tang Ying disappeared, though he suspected Tang Jiayuan, he didn’t dare to confront him!
After sharing his story with Bai Xiaofan, Wenbin’s aged face was lined with tears of sorrow.
For so many years, these secrets had remained hidden in his heart.
He didn’t even have anyone to confide in!
Now, having spoken his heart out in front of Bai Xiaofan, he felt a great sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Especially after hearing from Bai Xiaofan that Kexing was still alive, and even doing well with a family in Arica, his heart filled with even more joy.
Just then, White Tiger also arrived.
Upon entering the small pub, he could tell that sothing was amiss.
Especially with the traces of tears still visible on Uncle Tang’s face.
“You guys go ahead and drink, I’ll go fry up a few dishes for you!”
Seeing White Tiger, Uncle Tang knew the two must have sothing to discuss.
After wiping the tears off his face, he turned and headed toward the kitchen.
