190: Tang Family Incident

Wang Yi was stunned, but first, he let out a sigh of relief.

After a long while, Wang Yi slowly said, “Little fellow, tell me then, what qualifies someone as a person of Mulan Manor?”

Facing this question, Tang Thirteen was also stunned.

In Tang Thirteen’s eyes, Mulan Manor was just a sect, or perhaps a mountain gate.

However, Tang Thirteen had never interacted with Mulan Manor, nor did he know what Mulan Manor truly was.

“This...” Tang Thirteen lowered his head and pondered for a long time.

“Alright, let me tell you. Mulan Manor is an Immortal Sect, and all Mulan Manor disciples are people of Mulan Manor.” Wang Yi smiled slightly.

“Of course, besides these direct line Immortal Sect Disciples of Mulan Manor, there are also Outer Gate Disciples and some affiliated sect Disciples.”

“Just like the Tang Family. If the Tang Family affiliates itself with Mulan Manor, you will also be people of Mulan Manor in the future.”

“So, we are all one Family, do you understand?”

After Wang Yi said these words, the Tang Family's Old Master beside him had a gloomy expression.

From these words, the Tang Family's Old Master understood.

Mulan Manor's goal was very simple: to unify the world.

If a sect submits, they will naturally be considered people of Mulan Manor, but their treatment will definitely not be better than that of Mulan Manor's direct line Immortal Sect Disciples.

But if they did not submit, there was only one outcome: the destruction of their sect.

The Tang Family's Old Master did not want the Tang Family to walk the path of sect destruction, and he had also heard rumors about the Jiang Family's affairs.

Considering this, the Tang Family agreeing to all of Mulan Manor's demands was something that absolutely had to be done.

“But I am not a Tang Family member!” Tang Thirteen's tone was firm, and he spoke resolutely.

In truth, the Tang Family's Old Master wished more for Tang Thirteen to be safe and sound; whether he was a Tang Family member or not was no longer important.

After hearing this, Wang Yi slowly raised his head, and a cold glint burst forth in his eyes.

“Oh? You say you are not a Tang Family member?” Wang Yi's face darkened as he stared intently at Tang Thirteen.

In fact, at this moment, Wang Yi also wanted to get the desired answer from Tang Thirteen.

Wang Yi truly hadn't expected that Tang Thirteen would be unsure even of his own identity.

Tang Thirteen maintained a calm demeanor, because he clearly remembered what the Tang Family's Old Master had just said: that he would no longer be a person of the Tang Family.

“Yes, Grandfather no longer acknowledges me. I am just someone who was expelled from the Tang Family, so anything is fine, Commander Wang. You can take me away.” Tang Thirteen nodded vigorously, maintaining a calm expression.

The reason Wang Yi wanted to take Tang Thirteen away was simple: he wanted to take a Hostage from the Tang Family.

Only this way could Mulan Manor restrain the Tang Family.

However, Tang Thirteen claimed that he was no longer a person of the Tang Family.

If that were truly the case, even if Wang Yi took Tang Thirteen, he would not achieve the result he desired.

If he returned to Mulan Manor like this...

Wang Yi would receive no rewards and might even be blamed.

“Commander Wang, if you truly want to take me, let's go now.” Tang Thirteen looked calm; he didn't take this matter seriously at all.

In Tang Thirteen's eyes, Mulan Manor was the villain of the world.

Since Wang Yi was a person of Mulan Manor, he was also a villain. Since he was a villain, there was no need for negotiation.

To deal with such a person, you either get killed by him or you kill him.

The current Tang Thirteen did not yet possess that kind of strength; he couldn't kill Wang Yi, so he could only follow Wang Yi.

By doing this, Tang Thirteen could protect the Tang Family.

“Oh? Have you decided? You want to come with me? But your grandfather doesn't agree.” Wang Yi was slightly startled, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Tang Thirteen was somewhat complex.

If the matter were truly this simple, things wouldn't be this way.

Tang Thirteen raised his head, his pair of bright eyes looking at Wang Yi.

In truth, despite his young age, Tang Thirteen understood a lot. He understood even more that doing this was good for the Tang Family.

“It's not necessary. Grandfather doesn't want me anymore, so I can make my own decisions.” Tang Thirteen said this with a gloomy face.

Wang Yi smiled slightly, and a trace of respect arose in his heart for this young Tang Thirteen.

A thirteen-year-old boy, at Tang Thirteen’s age, should be enjoying a happy childhood in his parents' embrace.

But Tang Thirteen could not, because he lived in the Tang Family.

Everything Tang Thirteen did had to be considered for the Tang Family. This was his obligation, and also his responsibility.

“Alright, if you have no other objections, we can leave now.” Wang Yi smiled slightly, reaching out to gently stroke Tang Thirteen's small head.

This little fellow, if he weren't a Tang Family member, might have a better future.

When Wang Yi thought of this, his heart ached, and he drew a sharp breath, trying hard to calm himself.

“Tang Family's Old Master, the Young Master has agreed. He wants to come with me to Mulan Manor. Do you have anything else to say?” Wang Yi raised his head and called out toward the direction of the Tang Family's Old Master.

After receiving this news.

The Tang Family's Old Master's face was gloomy, and a cold glint burst forth in his eyes.

The Tang Family's Old Master revealed a look of astonishment; he had absolutely not expected why Tang Thirteen would agree!

“What?” exclaimed the Tang Family's Old Master.

Wang Yi thought the Tang Family's Old Master hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated himself.

“Tang Family's Old Master, I said I am taking the Young Master now. He has already agreed to come with me to Mulan Manor.” Wang Yi maintained a calm expression.

However, every word Wang Yi spoke pierced the heart.

Tang Thirteen was, after all, the sole heir of the Tang Family, and the Tang Family's Old Master did not want anything to happen to him.

But facing this scene, he was utterly helpless.

“Commander Wang, can't we discuss this? Why don't you take someone else instead!” The Tang Family's Old Master's voice was hoarse as he looked up at Wang Yi not far away.

But after hearing this, Wang Yi remained silent.

Mulan Manor wanted a Hostage from the Tang Family, not just any random Tang Family member.

If anyone could suffice, then there would be no need for this.

“Tang Family's Old Master, this matter is settled. You shouldn't say anything more. Just properly bid farewell to the Young Master.” Wang Yi's face was grim, showing a serious expression.

Originally, Wang Yi felt quite helpless, as he didn't have a good way to take Tang Thirteen.

However, what Wang Yi hadn't expected was that Tang Thirteen would voluntarily agree to go with him.

This outcome was truly excellent.

Wang Yi also let out a long sigh of relief; the matter was finally settled.

And Wang Yi could finally return to Mulan Manor to report back. All of this was about to end.

As long as the Tang Family didn't cause trouble, this boy would be fine, and the Tang Family could continue to exist properly as an Affiliated Family of Mulan Manor.
