Chapter 1030: Accidents On The Way Back

Tang Xiu took Chen Zhizhong and Tang 28’s group of five into the sky as they stood hundreds of meters high mid-air, looking at the collapsed mountain peak.

The Diablo Praecantator Clan was pitiable, while the Sacred Pristine Palace turned into an abomination.

Whatever happened between them hundreds of thousands of years ago, be it right or wrong, and all the grievances, enmities, and whatnot, it had now come to a complete end with the destruction of the small world and the collapse of this mountain peak. As of now, only a deep puzzle occupied Tang Xiu’s mind. What exactly was the existence of Earth? Why would so many strange pocket worlds connect to it?

However, he also realized that it was very difficult for him to figure it out in a short time no matter how long this question plagued his mind. Thus, he no longer thought about this matter and led Chen Zhizhong, Tang 28, and the rest out of Changbai Mountain quickly. Halfway on the road back, he separated from Chen Zhizhong.

“Please take care, Master. I’ll be waiting for you in Star City.”

Chen Zhizhong looked somewhat reluctant. The journey and the experience this time gave him a very deep impression that deepened his feeling towards Tang Xiu as his true Master.

“I won’t stay in the capital for a long time,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Go and take care of your business. I’ll take you to Nine Dragons Island after I go back.”

“Acknowledged, Master!” replied Chen Zhizhong as he left quickly.

Beijing.

It was the first time for Tang 28 and the other four kids visiting the capital. They all knew that Beijing was the capital of China and one of the most bustling metropolises in the country. It made them quite curious despite being much more mature than their peers.

“Where are we going, Sect Master?” asked Tang 28 after they exited the airport.

“You’re not allowed to ask any more questions later, remember that!” said Tang Xiu. “You just need to follow me wherever I go. Keep in mind that you’re my shadow later, and you four are Tang 28’s shadows. Learn to stay silent and execute my orders whenever you’re with me.”

Tang 28 and the four others hurriedly nodded and didn’t dare to speak again.

Tang Xiu’s visit to Beijing this time was due to the 80th birthday of his grandfather, Tang Guosheng. He wouldn’t have come back in a rush if he was abroad. But now that he was in China and on the way back home, he decided to stop by at the capital to congratulate the old patriarch.

As they caught a cab and Tang Xiu told the driver the Tang Family’s address, the taxi driver shot a strange look at him and asked, “You’re not from Beijing, are you, Little Brother? A curfew has been imposed on that area in recent days. Even if I send you there, I can’t get you to the address. Just stopping by and parking nearby.”

“Ehh? A curfew over there? Why?” asked Tang Xiu in surprise.

With a mystifying voice, the taxi driver replied, “Then you must be an outsider, Little Brother. So you have no idea about it. Tomorrow is the 80th birthday of the old patriarch of the Tang Family. The Tangs were very low-key in the past, but recently they are getting more and more powerful. It’s just so happened that the Tang’s old patriarch is celebrating his 80th birthday, so the Tangs seem to be preparing a great deal for something. Hence, so as to avoid anyone creating trouble, a curfew was imposed on the streets around their residence. It’s fine during the daytime, but the streets will be sealed off starting from 10 PM and no vehicles are allowed to approach the area.”

“Ah, this Tang Family seems very famous!” Tang Xiu nodded.

The taxi driver gave him “don’t speak carelessly because you’re ignorant” look. After starting the car, he spoke again. “Who doesn’t know the Tang in the entire capital, Little Brother? I bet those with a bit of power in China definitely know who Tang Xiu is. The Tang’s old patriarch used to be the elder of the nation—a real bigshot and a former general. What’s more, have you ever heard about the Tang Family’s arch-nemesis, the Yaos? The latter inexplicably fell into demise last year. I’m sure that even if the present Tang Family is not ranked as the best House in the capital, they are definitely in the top three.”

“They are that powerful?” Tang Xiu confirmed with a light smile.

The taxi driver didn’t notice Tang Xiu’s expression and kept holding the steering wheel while looking at the road ahead. He nodded and said, “Of course, they are powerful! Pity that I didn’t reincarnate into that House, though. I would’ve lived a kingly life if I were a member of the Tangs. You got no idea of how prestigious the status and identity the Tang House’s members in the capital enjoy, do you? Some time ago, a scion from the Tang House called Tang Wei smacked the renowned Heavenly Grace Club of Beijing and made a big ruckus there. Can you guess the ending? Nobody can do shit to this Prince Tang Wei. On the contrary, the Heavenly Grace Club’s Boss and the few silk pants who offended him bowed their heads to apologize to him. The grapevine has it that Young Master Tang Wei racked quite a fortune from the compensation they gave him.”

“Tang Wei?”

Tang Xiu was a bit at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh. He didn’t expect that Tang Xiu would cause such a big mess. But he was sure that no matter how big the fortune this guy got, he must have been packed up after he got home. Definitely! It was because the death decree from the elders of the Tangs saying that the juniors of the family were forbidden from acting like those silk pants and cause troubles outside.

This guy is definitely not feeling well recently, no? Tang Xiu gloated.
