186: Tang San and Tang Hao’s situation!
The next evening, Qian Feng hurriedly arrived within the Ten Cities, at a small courtyard with decent furnishings.
In the center of the courtyard, there was an elegant and dignified woman. She sat on a stone stool with great grace, and Water Binger was holding her hand.
Just like a younger sister chatting with an older sister.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, looking like a beautiful scene.
Qian Feng entered slowly, his hands clasped behind his back.
Although he was only nineteen or twenty years old at this time, his demeanor was already very mature, possessing the aura and dignity of a peak expert.
Water Binger and Tang Yuehua, seeing the arrival, immediately stood up and nodded respectfully.
"Hehe~ I remember Bing'er, you don't have these habits," Qian Feng chuckled. His imposing aura dissipated, becoming very gentle instead.
Tang Yuehua nodded in satisfaction, holding Water Binger's hand as she praised, "Bing'er, you have good taste~ This Great Emperor Qian Feng seems to love you very much and has no airs at all."
Qian Feng was not in a hurry. Tang Yuehua was here, and since she had promised to tell him news about Tang Hao and others, she would naturally do so.
"Mm~ Qian Feng is very good to me," Water Binger smiled gently, nodding somewhat shyly. She truly looked like Tang Yuehua's younger sister.
"Come, sit down. I'm quite curious how you and Bing'er met. To think such a great beauty could be coaxed into your hands~" Tang Yuehua chuckled, gracefully inviting Qian Feng to sit.
The three chatted leisurely in the small courtyard. When they talked about Qian Feng and Water Binger's experiences at the Academy, Tang Yuehua would occasionally cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
Fully displaying the grace of a mature woman, Water Binger, although already intimate with Qian Feng, was not too old and still appeared somewhat naive and cute in front of Tang Yuehua.
"Oh dear~ You two truly have a fated connection," Tang Yuehua said, pulling Water Binger's right hand, suddenly sighing with a hint of melancholy in her eyes:
"If that kid Tang San hadn't gone down that evil path, perhaps he could have lived an ordinary life."
Qian Feng did not reply. The feud between Spirit Hall and Tang Hao was already irreconcilable, and his hatred for Tang San was accumulating day by day.
He sighed softly:
"Things have reached this point. Aunt Yuehua, let me put an end to their sins. Now Tang San has extended his demonic hand to the people of the Continent! If I hadn't returned quickly from Sea God Island, how many people on the Continent would have died because of Tang San in another half a year?"
"Mm, I understand. Tang Hao came to see me half a year ago and told me about Tang San's condition; it's very bad." Tang Yuehua closed her eyes, a hint of weariness appearing on her face, and slowly recounted everything she knew.
Qian Feng and Water Binger exchanged a glance and did not interrupt her.
Tang Yuehua's voice was very light and gentle, but she was telling a helpless story.
"Brother Hao, since Xiao San has reached this point, why don't you stop him!"
Half a year ago, within the Moon Pavilion in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Tang Hao wore a black robe, his face beneath the hood extremely haggard. He squinted at his sister, his eyes carrying a stern killing intent.
"Why can't you control your killing intent either!"
"San'er suffered such a great humiliation, losing his foundation as a man! How could I possibly suppress my killing intent? Fortunately, there is still the favor of the gods; our Haotian Sect can still become the ruler of the Continent."
Tang Hao's voice was low as he looked at his sister and said helplessly:
"Xiao San has simultaneously accepted the trials of two gods. Now, two forces within his body are tearing at his spirit. Yuehua, I need your help."
"Two gods... Okay, I can help you try to suppress Xiao San's emotions." Tang Yuehua stood up and did not refuse, but Tang Hao's next sentence...
It caused the kind and elegant woman to rarely lose her composure, staggering directly and nearly falling to the ground.
Only by leaning against the railing of the small pavilion could she steady herself.
"Not only that, if possible, I plan to mobilize all the Soul Masters from Slaughter City, kill the common people, and collect their blood. Only then can it be foolproof."
Tang Hao sighed and said:
"The struggle between the Blood Plague Calamity Ancestor and the Asura God within Xiao San has never stopped. This also causes Xiao San immense pain, but it seems the Disaster Ancestor can easily control the Asura God."
"But with the assistance of the Shura Demon Sword, the Asura God can occasionally gain the upper hand."
"Xiao San chose to let the Disaster Ancestor kill the Asura God. Blood can help him speed up his cultivation." Tang Hao's voice was low, as if killing people, drawing blood, and harming the entire Continent were not things worth caring about to him.
"Sister, I'll take you into Slaughter City fi-"
"I won't go, Tang Hao! Do you know what you're saying? You're making an enemy of the entire Continent and harming living beings!" Tang Yuehua stepped forward and hugged her brother:
"I can go with you to Slaughter City and help you. But you must promise not to use the people of the world as sacrifices and try again to prevent Xiao San from becoming that Disaster Ancestor's puppet!"
"Alas, Yuehua. Some things, once decided, cannot be turned back from." Tang Hao sighed, pushed his sister away, and strode off.
"I didn't tell you the news that the Soul Masters from Slaughter City would come half a year ago." Tang Yuehua slowly opened her eyes, which were full of weariness.
Water Binger looked at Qian Feng, who had his eyes closed, then turned back to tightly grip Tang Yuehua's hand, unsure of what to say.
"I know the enmity between Spirit Hall and Brother Hao. I am also his biological sister... So, I concealed this matter."
"My heart suffers torment every moment."
Tang Yuehua looked at Qian Feng, seemingly with a pleading tone: "Can you help me find release?"
Water Binger's body trembled. She was very fond of Tang Yuehua, who was like an older sister, but at this moment, she also knew it wasn't the time for her to easily interject.
"Someone," Qian Feng said softly after a moment.
A group of Spirit Hall guards entered wearing armor; the piercing clang of their armor reached Water Binger's ears.
In contrast, Tang Yuehua had a calm expression on her face.
"Moon Pavilion Master, Tang Yuehua, has concealed important battle information. She is hereby detained in the prison to await judgment. During this period, Water Binger may visit."
"Pavilion Master Tang, the prison environment isn't very good, but... this is the decision I, as the Young Master of Spirit Hall, should make."
Qian Feng's expression was calm. Immediately after, several tall guards came to Tang Yuehua's side.
"Thank you."
She said calmly, stood up, and followed the guards away with her usual dignified posture.
"Will you blame me?" Qian Feng asked with a smile, looking at Water Binger. "After all, you two hit it off quite well."
"In the face of important matters of state and family, I won't interject. And you've been lenient; at least I can go see Aunt Yuehua." Water Binger was very understanding and sat on Qian Feng's lap.
The latter played with Water Binger's soft hands and occasionally pinched her thigh, causing Water Binger to blush shyly:
"Not here..."
"Bing'er, I should head to Slaughter City now," Qian Feng said gently. Water Binger's body suddenly trembled.
