nAh Mo Li stayed for a short while before leaving, and before he left, he left the address of the inn that they were staying at. Ah Mo Li and the rest were new people, and did not have the Honorable Martial Plate, but once they found out that Tang Tian was already a bronze ranked martial artist, they once again opened their eyes wide with a blank expression on their faces.

nUncle Qian was happy. He could tell that the few of them were strong, and if Young Master Ah Tian met with any problems, at least he would not be isolated without help.

nUncle Qian had already secretly begun to check on the Yu Clan.

nThe two years where the Shangguan Clan began its revival passed without anyone obstructing them, while they were forgotten, they slowly recovered. Although it was because they did not fully recover, they could not be compared to when they were in their glory days, but they still could not be ignored.

nIn the current age, the Yu Clan had a few famous strangers who appeared, and all of their backgrounds were not thoroughly checked yet.

nUncle Qian, with one look, could see the wildfire in the field, his muddy old eyes flashed with gratification.

nEven when the Young Miss was here, all the young ones did not work so hard!

nYoung Miss had chosen a good son-in-law!

nYu Clan.

nYu Ming Qiu’s death did not actually cause the Yu Clan to sink into sorrow. Yu Ming Qiu was forgotten by his people after so many others had come and gone. His sudden appearance caused them to be surprised, because it was unexpected, but their feelings stopped there.

n“I didn’t expect that Tang Tian was actually so strong.” The current Yu Clan Patriarch, Yu Ming Wei’s face was gloomy, as he said: “He is obviously at the fifth level, but he is so fierce and tough. Such a powerful young man, he should be from a strong background.”

n“He is from the Honorable Martial Group.” A tall man said.

nUpon hearing that, Yu Ming Wei’s face changed, even his voice had some change: “Honorable… Honorable Martial Group?”

nHe did not expect that Tang Tian was actually tied to the Honorable Martial Group, which was a huge powerhouse. Not even mentioning the Yu Clan, even the entire Immortal Constellation was powerless against such a huge entity.

nThe 八-shaped moustached man was rather discontented with Yu Ming Wei’s response, but he knew it was human nature, and said: “You don’t have to worry. Immortal Constellation is such a small place, Honorable Martial Group’s power is just like that. Other than Kong Yi Yu, there are no other strong martial artists. The matter of the Honorable Martial Group, just let us worry about it.”

nYu Ming Wei’s expression became softer, his heart calmed down, and he hurriedly said: “That’s good, that’s good!”

n“Now you guys better think hard, what other methods do we have?” The 八-shaped moustached man said: “The higher ups have already sent a few senior experts from the clan to support us, so don’t worry about Kong Yi Yu. But if we do not do anything, in front of the people of the higher ups, everybody’s face will be thrown.”

nYu Ming Wei did not speak.

nSuddenly, Yu Ze Qing, who was beside Yu Ming Wei, opened his mouth: “I have an idea.”

nEveryone’s gaze turned to Yu Ze Qing’s body, and the tall man raised his eyebrows: “Speak.”

nYu Ze Qing was Yu Ming Wei’s son, and was in the same class as Shangguan Qian Hui. Before Qian Hui returned, he was the school’s brightest person, and as the entire school’s leader, everyone responded to his single call. But when Qian Hui came, he was quickly forgotten about. The strong contrast made him remember the hatred. Until now, he was always secretly finding ways to defeat Qian Hui.

nYu Ze Qing’s clear and smart face was gloomy, his eyes obviously holding hatred, and he coldly said: “Shangguan Qian Hui is looking for many martial artists from all different clans and groups. As long as we instigate something, they will all form up together and find trouble with Tang Tian. All we need to do is secretly lie in wait for a saboteur to go in, ignite and fan the flame, and the Shangguan Clan can only be afraid, he he.”

nThe chilly voice was like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness.

nBut everyone’s eyes lit up, the 八-shaped moustached man complimented: “Good plan! Still, only Young Master Qing Ze is quick-witted and scheming! This matter, we will leave it to Young Master Ze Qing to take charge of.”

nYu Ze Qing was dumbfounded, and his face took a big change. Although his heart was filled with hatred, to act on such a sinister plan, he was absolutely not willing to take the risk.

nHe tried to strongly justify himself: “My power is insufficient, but I have a good idea on who can be chosen….”

nThe tall man stared at him, his expression cut off Yu Ze Qing’s words: “Don’t tell me Young Master Ze Ying is not willing?”

n“He did not mean it that way….” Yu Ming Wei anxiously explained.

nHe knew that the two people before him were cold-hearted and treated human lives like grass. Upon seeing a sign, he would immediately know that the killing intent was already triggered in their hearts. And seeing the look on his son’s face, he knew he could not reject, he clenched his teeth, summoned his courage and said: “My son is only afraid that he is unable to achieve success, and afraid he might spoil the plans of you two masters. Since the two masters have trusted us, my son will not be afraid of any difficulty, and will not refuse!”

nThe expressions on both of them then became somewhat sluggish.

n“Then we will leave it to Young Master Qing Ze!” The tall man nodded, and said: “We will go and rest.”

n“I respectfully send you two masters off!” Yu Ming Wei bent his back in respect.

nOnce the two of them left, Yu Qing Ze’s face was dark: “Father, this.. this…”

nYu Ming Wei restrained the worry in his heart, and acted calm and said: “Actually it is nothing much. You don’t have to rush to the front, do not show your face, hide in the darkness, the more people you pull the better, especially the other clans and groups’ young masters. Heng, best is to have both sides in conflict, at that time I will see how the Shangguan Clan settles everything.”

nYu Ze Qing gradually gained back his sentience, he was not stupid, the more he pondered on his plan the more he felt that no matter what, the Shangguan Clan and Tang Tian could not win. The matter looked fierce, and it was actually not as scary as he thought, although the Shangguan Clan was not afraid of the Yu Clan, if they provoked the other clans, even with Shangguan Qian Hui present, they would not have any ideas.

n“Although the matter is dangerous, it is also an opportunity. If you can be successful in this, and for the few masters to see you in their eyes, it would be good for your future.” Yu Ming Wei’s gaze was on Yu Ze Qing, and encouraged him further: “I do not wish for you to stay in Immortal Constellation forever, you have to go to a bigger constellation, and push our Yu Clan’s glory to greater heights.”

nYu Ze Qing was stunned, he did not expect his father to have such great ambitions and hope for himself. He was overwhelmed with emotions for a while, and excitedly said: “Don’t worry father! Your son will complete this task well!”

nYu Ze Qing had a fierce glint in his eyes, he was high in fighting spirit, even if he was afraid of Shangguan Qian Hui, Tang Tian was just a stupid boy who did not know a thing. He was determined to make him his stepping stone!

nAfter ten days of continuous, high intensity training, every day’s amount of training increased nonstop. Many people were clenching their teeth to persist and gave their all, but no one was the slightest bit angry.

nThey did not have any trace of anger in them.

nIt was because the intensity of son-in-law Tang Tian’s training was a multiple of theirs. His training was not the least bit fake, and everyone could witness his training. They would look at Tang Tian reflecting, son-in-law Tang Tian’s attempts and fumbling, but even more was, repetition after repetition, he did not mind going through all the trouble, the dry and dull training which could cause people to be so angry, he repeated it continuously.

nFrom fist arts, to finger arts, light body arts, leg arts, palm arts…

nSon-in-law Tang Tian was like a weird creature that did not comprehend fatigue, sprinkling sweat day and night.

nHis age was not far from them, and he was actually younger than a few disciples, But his face still had traces of childishness on it, the clear and protruding contours of his head made him look like a robust and healthy boy.

nEvery single Shangguan disciple was deeply shocked.

nThere was nothing more convincing than to place a similar aged person in front for comparison.

nNo one cowered back.

nThey were all young people and had boiling blood in their bodies, their self respect was still there. The figure at the training grounds who did not know fatigue was constantly pushing them forward. Every time they thought of giving up, their eyes would immediately find that silhouette.

nEvery one of them was giving their all, in their eyes flashed the burning fire of youth.

nTheir passion, their unwillingness to lose, their dreams, their wild hearts….

nThere were always people who fell to their fours to catch their breaths, but after a short period of rest, they would pull themselves up to continue training. There were always people who ran out of strength and fell down, but they would sit there for awhile before continuing training.

nIt was as if there were an invisible, bizarre qi field enveloping the training grounds, silently rousing the vigorous mood!

nSuch an atmosphere quietly diffused around the Shangguan Clan. All the clan members of the Shangguan Clan, would go to the training grounds daily, and watch the young people train. As they were afraid of disrupting the kids, they stood at the side, their eyes filled with joy and anticipation for the future.

n“These brats, they have changed so much!”

n“Yes, I did not expect that that brat could persist for so long, in the past he would train for a while, and then whine for days.”

n“If only the son-in-law came earlier.”

n“It isn’t too late now, as long as they persevere, they can still succeed!”

n“Young Miss really has good eyes!”

n…

nListening to the clan members softly discussing, Uncle Qian focused on the training grounds, a smile appearing on his face. Once he had time, everyday he would go to the training grounds and watch the youths train. It was already his favourite past time, seeing the youths who did not want to lose out, he always had the feeling that the future of the Shangguan Clan would become even better.

nHis impression became even more deep.

nYoung Miss and Young Master Ah Tian were of two completely different backgrounds. Young Miss was naturally gifted, clever and quick-witted, she was perfect. Everyone worshipped her, doted on her, but was unable to obtain power from her. She was so perfect, perfect until it made people distant from her.

nCompared to her, Young Master Ah Tian’s talents were not worth mentioning, but his hard work and diligence was something no one could compare to.

nEveryone knew what hard work and diligence was, and every Shangguan Clan disciple knew it.

nBut it was not until they met Young Master Ah Tian, and placed his hard work and diligence in front of them for them to see, that they really became emotionally moved.

nYoung Master Ah Tian might not be smarter than them, but just more hard working, no, even more than more hardworking! They watched Young Master Ah Tian repeat the same fist arts over a hundred thousand times, they were speechless, they were never shocked like this before!

nThere was actually somebody in this world who could do that!

nThe youths’ self-respect caused them to be quiet.

nYoung Miss’ talents were too high to reach, but Young Master Ah Tian’s accomplishments were all from sweat, purely from sweat.

nEveryone sweats.

nFrom then on, a phrase was passed on in the Shangguan Clan, the phrase Young Master Ah Tian says: Sweat will never lie.

nSeeing all the young people perspiring so much in the field, Uncle Qian’s heart was consoled.

nSuch a beautiful sun!

nJust at that time, a flustered and confused looking servant ran in, went to Uncle Qian’s side and whispered a few sentences into his ear.

nUncle Qian’s smile froze on his face.
