284: Unchosen Action

After mentioning Mulan Manor, Tang Eleven clenched his fists tightly, the fire of anger in his heart instantly ignited.

Tang Eleven didn't want to do this either; he didn't want to be some Sect Master.

'By yourself?' Tang Ru sneered, turning around to look at Tang Eleven.

At this moment, their eyes met, and the two stared at each other quietly.

Then Tang Ru said faintly, 'If you go to Mulan Manor alone, there will only be one outcome—you will die there!'

'And the Tang Family will lose a Sect Master, do you understand, kid?'

'Now is not the time to rescue Big Brother; we must first stabilize the Tang Family's situation.'

'At this time, if you go to Mulan Manor and die there, it will be a heavy blow to the Tang Family.'

'If you die, who will be the Sect Master of the Tang Family? Me? Or Second Brother?' Tang Ru stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Eleven.

These words struck Tang Eleven's heart.

In fact, Tang Eleven didn't want to see such a situation either; if the Tang Family's internal affairs weren't stabilized, then the entire Yunzhou City would fall into chaos.

That would be even more terrifying. Once Yunzhou City was in chaos, Mulan Manor might send its army straight there, and by then...

Mulan Manor might take Yunzhou City without shedding a drop of blood and claim it as their own.

Then who could say for sure that this wasn't Mulan Manor's conspiracy?

Tang Ru wanted to stabilize the Tang Family's situation and didn't want Yunzhou City to fall into chaos, so pushing Tang Eleven to the top was the only way.

After hearing this, Tang Eleven seemed to understand some things, but he still couldn't understand why they wouldn't go to rescue Grandpa.

Clearly, as long as Grandpa returned, everything would be much better.

But the actions of these Tang Family Disciples were truly exasperating.

'But I just want to rescue Grandpa. Grandpa was taken away by the people from Mulan Manor, yet you all do nothing.' Tang Eleven's Face was dark; at this moment, he seemed so humble.

'Do nothing?' Tang Ru's Face darkened. 'Do you think anything you do can change anything? Do you think that with the Tang Family's power, we can confront Mulan Manor?'

'Do you think rescuing Big Brother is as easy as just saying it?'

These words of Tang Ru's struck Tang Eleven's heart.

After all, there was nothing that could be done; Tang Eleven didn't want this to happen, nor did he want to do such a thing.

'But what do we do now? Grandpa was taken away. Are we just going to ignore it? Are we going to let Mulan Manor be so arrogant? Do we not need to do anything at all?' Tang Eleven clenched his fists, feeling extremely unwilling.

The event had already occurred, and he had no recourse.

As a result, things would be even harder for Tang Eleven, and he didn't know what the outcome would be.

'Child, you must remember, you are a Tang Family Disciple, and Big Brother is also a member of the Tang Family. No one in the Tang Family can be missing, not a single one.' Tang Ru's Face was dark as he clenched his fists. 'But you must also understand one thing: the current Tang Family cannot yet confront Mulan Manor. Only when you grow up and the Tang Family possesses the power to oppose Mulan Manor will it be our chance to act.'

As Tang Ru spoke these words, he looked up, gazing into the high heavens.

In fact, he understood one thing even better: to survive here, there was only one possibility—to live on well.

Aside from that, there was no other way.

'Third Master!' Tang Eleven clenched his fists, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

'Alright, kid, enough nonsense. Hurry and take your seat; everyone is waiting for you.' Tang Ru looked around. 'Our Tang Family made this choice not just for the small Tang Family, but for Yunzhou City.'

'Yunzhou City is the root of the Tang Family people. The Tang Family can perish, but Yunzhou City must remain in the hands of the Tang Family. Mulan Manor's plan is clear; they are definitely going to target Yunzhou City.'

'Now that Mulan Manor has already moved against the Tang Family, next time, they might move against Yunzhou.'

'I don't want to see that scene, and neither does anyone in Yunzhou City.'

'Shiyi, do you understand?'

Tang Ru turned back with a serious expression, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Tang Eleven.

At this moment, Tang Eleven's heart trembled. He understood why Second Master and Third Master were doing this; it was all for Yunzhou City.

But what about Grandpa?

Was he really going to sacrifice Grandpa to protect all of Yunzhou City?

Tang Eleven was unwilling to do such a thing; he didn't want to give up on Grandpa like this.

Besides, why should he give up?

'Third Master, I don't want to hear these grand principles, and I don't know why such a decision was made.' Tang Eleven clenched his fists.

'I just want my Grandpa. Besides, why should the peace of Yunzhou City be traded for Grandpa's life?'

Tang Eleven was not convinced and even more unwilling.

Not being a Saint yet trying to perform the deeds of a Saint—this wasn't great benevolence; to put it bluntly, it was stupidity!

Tang Eleven didn't want to give up Grandpa for these ignorant people of Yunzhou. Besides, after finding out about this, the people of Yunzhou City might not feel the slightest bit of gratitude.

'Shut up! Everyone here is a person of status in Yunzhou City. Do not speak recklessly on such an occasion!' Tang Ru snorted coldly.

In fact, if these words were heard by outsiders, they would surely bring trouble to the Tang Family.

This was not the outcome Tang Ru wanted to see.

'If you act like this, after this matter, you will stay in the manor and never leave. I will announce to the outside that the Tang Family's Young Master and Sect Master are in seclusion.' Tang Ru's Face was dark, and he didn't look like he was joking.

After hearing this...

Tang Eleven was even more helpless; he didn't want this!

'Yes, I understand, Third Master.' Tang Eleven could only nod; he didn't want to be locked up in the Tang Family for the rest of his life.

After all, Tang Eleven had more important things to do; Grandpa was still waiting for him to rescue him.

At this time, although Tang Eleven was unwilling, he had no choice.

'Let's go, hurry to the banquet!' Tang Ru spoke coldly, not wanting to waste any more words.

Then, Tang Ru stepped forward, headed straight for the banquet, and took the seat of honor.

'Third Master Tang!' Seeing Tang Ru, the guests spoke slowly and rose one after another to pay their respects.

'No need for formalities, everyone please sit!' Tang Ru smiled slightly and extended his hand in a return gesture.

'Thank you, Third Master!'

The guests were quite respectful; after all, they were members of the Tang Family.

They didn't want to cause trouble, fearing they might damage the Tang Family's Face.
