371: Uncle Tang Becomes Big Brother
“You are amazing, You!”,“Where, where? It was Tang Sirui who saved me so skillfully. Otherwise, I would probably have been taken by those from the Joyous Union Sect to water their flowers by now!”, Chen Xuan complimented.
“Hey, as teammates, it’s only natural for him to save You. There’s no need for You to be so humble!”, Tang Haotian said solemnly.
“This… alright!”,“By the way, You, what do You think of my Tang Hammer Sect?”,“It’s great, the Tang Hammer Sect is excellent! Uncle Tang, You don’t know me, but it’s impossible for me to work for others outside. I don’t know how to do business either. It’s only by staying in the Tang Hammer Sect that I can maintain my livelihood like this!”,“Really?”, Tang Haotian asked, unsure.
He had only thrown Chen Xuan into the Sect to make money, and basically hadn't bothered with him otherwise.
Chen Xuan glanced at Tang Yueshang.
“Of course, it’s true! You don’t know, ever since I came to the Tang Hammer Sect, it feels like coming home. My old home… let’s not talk about it! Being in the detention center… ahem, being in the Tang Hammer Sect feels much better than being at home! Everyone here is a talent, and they speak so nicely. I really love it here!”
Tang Yueshang, listening to Chen Xuan’s words, unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
“Home? He… he really recognizes us, baby!”,“So that’s it, hahaha, good, very good!”, Tang Haotian laughed heartily after hearing Chen Xuan’s words.
But then he changed the subject, his gaze sharp, his brows tightly furrowed, looking at Tang Yueshang with displeasure.
“However, what’s going on with You two? We haven’t seen each other for only three months, and You’ve already developed such an intimate relationship? Chen Xuan, You really have some skill! When my sister couldn’t Cultivate, she was arrogant and looked down on everyone. Now, not only can she Cultivate, but she’s even been… by You!”
Tang Yueshang was startled by Tang Haotian’s tone and quickly explained, “B-Brother, You misunderstood. Chen Xuan and I, we’re just, we… we’re just…”
“It couldn’t be just friends, could it?”, Tang Haotian interrupted Tang Yueshang.
“You’re my sister, I watched You grow up. How could I not know what your temper is like? Just now, Chen Xuan was practically touching your face, and You acted like You didn’t feel anything, still chatting and laughing with him. Do You really think I don’t know what You used to be like?”
“Ahem, what was Sister Yuechang like before?”, Chen Xuan suddenly interjected at an inappropriate moment.
“Don’t try to get close to me! One thing at a time, now be serious with me!”, Tang Haotian’s tone became cold.
Tang Yueshang, seeing Tang Haotian’s stern expression, couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness and unease.
“Brother, don’t be angry, this is all…”, She cautiously stepped forward, trying to explain the situation to Tang Haotian. However, her words were cut off by Tang Haotian again before she could finish.
“How can I not be angry? This is such a big matter for You!”, Tang Haotian’s voice carried clear anger.
“I’m telling You, our Tang Hammer Sect is not like those small Sects. We absolutely will not be careless about the emotional issues of our Disciples! As the Young Miss of the Sect, it’s one thing for You not to set an example, but You’re even leading the way in breaking the rules!”, Tang Haotian’s tone grew even more severe.
Tang Yueshang was so frightened by Tang Haotian’s reprimand that she dared not look up. She hung her head low, tears continuously rolling down, like glistening little pearls.
Seeing Tang Yueshang so sad, Chen Xuan also stopped joking. He quickly stepped forward, hugged Tang Yueshang, gently stroked her back, and whispered words of comfort.
Then he took a deep breath and looked at Tang Haotian firmly:
“Uncle Tang… ahem, Brother! I understand. Since the feelings between Yue Cháng and I have reached this point, then I am willing to bear the responsibility I should bear.
From today onwards, I will diligently Cultivate and make myself stronger to protect Sister Yuechang and prevent her from suffering any harm. I will give her the best wedding and life!”
“Is that enough?! She is the Young Miss of my Tang Hammer Sect! Just because of a promise like yours, You can marry her?”,“Then, Brother, what do You mean…?”,“Ahem, Yue Cháng is a direct descendant of my Tang Family. The family rules clearly state that female direct descendants are not allowed to marry out; they must take an in-marrying son-in-law!”
Tang Yueshang’s expression was puzzled after hearing this.
How did she not know her Tang Family had such a family rule? She was about to open her mouth to explain, but then she found that she couldn't speak.
Chen Xuan looked at the woman sobbing in his arms, his face showing a struggle. At this moment, he had to keep his composure and not break character.
“In-marrying son-in-law? I’m willing! As long as it’s for Sister Yuechang, I’m willing to do anything!”
Ultimately, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and agreed to the demand of becoming an in-marrying son-in-law.
The anger on Tang Haotian’s face somewhat subsided, but he still reminded, “Chen Xuan, remember your promise. My sister is not so easily obtained. If You dare to let her down, I will never let You off lightly!”
Chen Xuan nodded seriously: “I understand, Brother, please rest assured, I will use my life to protect Sister Yuechang and let her live a happy and joyful life.”
“Your kind of support, I think, forget it! Just stay obediently in my Tang Hammer Sect, and we will guarantee You and Yue Cháng a lifetime of peace!”,“Yes, I will listen to You, Brother.”
“Mm.” Tang Haotian clapped his hands and laughed.
