That the bamboo sea had fallen silent indicated that the fellow hidden deep inside it had felt the same thing as Tang Thirty-Six.

When she heard this voice, the viciousness on the black-clothed Daoist nun's face gradually retreated. She coldly glared at Tang Thirty-Six, apparently wanting to say something. But she had probably recalled Tang Thirty-Six's earlier threat, so all the words she had planned to say ultimately became a simple snort. With an enraged visage, she flicked her sleeve and left.

Seeing the Daoist nun walk away, Tang Thirty-Six called, ”Hey! Don't leave if you have the guts! Snorts also count! Next year's donation will be halved again!”

Those disciples that had not gone to Mount Han or the capital looked at each other, speechless. Is this that young master of the Tang clan that I've heard so much about? Why is he so different from the rumors? This temper is just a little too excessive.

”It's fine, it's fine. Martial Grandaunt certainly doesn't care about any donation. She has a noble clan supporting her. If not for Martial Grandteacher's words, she would have disregarded your threat and smacked you down with a single palm.”

Ye Xiaolian raised her petite hand and feigned a punch at Tang Thirty-Six's stomach, then said, ”Donation money is used by us disciples. You'd better not actually cut it.”

Tang Thirty-Six held his stomach, feigning injury as he sorrowfully said, ”Your petite hand and petite face are both quite beautiful, so how come your heart became so prejudiced? It was for your sake that I stepped up.”

Ye Xiaolian had long since gotten used to his cheeky demeanor and didn't care much for it. ”Since Grandteacher wants to meet you, let's quickly go.”

Tang Thirty-Six finally reacted, asking in shock, ”The Holy Maiden returned? What of Su Li? Don't tell me that she was cast off again?”

He was naturally not speaking of Xu Yourong here, but Xu Yourong's teacher, the previous Holy Maiden.

Hu Thirty-Two was also stunned, but upon hearing the last question, he mistepped and almost fell off the mountain path.

Ye Xiaolian and the other girls were angrier. One by one, they fixed Tang Thirty-Six with furious glares, wanting nothing more than to take out their swords and hack him to bits.

”I was just making a joke to lighten the mood; why so serious?” Tang Thirty-Six said with an apologetic smile.

Ye Xiaolian suppressed her temper and explained, ”The grandteacher I am referring to here is the senior sister of the martial grandaunt from just now.”

Tang Thirty-Six commented, ”I feel like you've just said something useless.”

Ye Xiaolian was helpless and further explained, ”My grandteacher is not the previous Holy Maiden, and that's all you need to know. In terms of seniority, she is an elder of very high status in the temple.”

”Just what has happened in South Stream Temple?”

Upon confirming that the black-clothed Daoist nun was far away, Tang Thirty-Six stopped, smiled, and earnestly asked, ”Just who are that old woman and the grandteacher that you spoke of? Why have I never heard of them?”

Ye Xiaolian replied, ”Please be a little more respectful, and besides… Martial Grandaunt has reached an extremely high realm, has met with success on her cultivation, and so has means of stopping her appearance from aging. Just how does she look old?”

”For people like them, no matter how young they look, they're already old.”

Tang Thirty-Six pointed at his stomach, then looked at the girls of South Stream Temple and declared, ”But we are all very young, so there are times when we don't need to listen to them.”

The meaning of these words made all the girls fall into a pensive mood.

Hu Thirty-Two sighed, perhaps because he had thought of his own age.

Ye Xiaolian was moved by Tang Thirty-Six's words, and her eyes moistened.

One girl worked up her courage and said, ”I'll say it.”

Before she could start, a fellow disciple and friend of hers advised, ”Martial Grandaunt won't be happy.”

”Don't be afraid. You can tell me anything.”

Tang Thirty-Six said to Ye Xiaolian, ”If that old woman dares to scold you, then there won't be any donation next year.”

Ye Xiaolian broke into a smile and asked, ”Can you take the responsibility?”

Tang Thirty-Six's expression did not change. ”If it's a crime to swindle others so that I can stand up for you, then just lock me up in Zhou Prison.”

Ye Xiaolian blushed. ”Can't you speak properly?”
