Returnee in Jianghu - C69

Tang Ming had just come out of his room when he saw Tang Rou’er hiding at the door. She had a blank look on her face and Tang Ming felt nervous. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Rou lowered her cherry lips, as if Tang Ming was silent.

In the dark night, Tang Rou suddenly gave Tang Ming a smile. Her sweet dimples made him unconsciously sink down.

Tang Ming glanced at the room and in the end, he did not make a sound. Instead, he pulled Tang Rou’er away.

Only when they were far away did Tang Rou’er open her mouth: “When I was two years old, I ate the Blood Jade Flower and lived until I was 22. That means I still have five years.”

“You knew you would …” Tang Ming didn’t say anything. Tang Rou’er helped Tang Ming continue: “Do you know that you won’t live for long?”

“Actually, everyone is really too protective of me. When I was 14 years old, I had always suspected that I was terminally ill. I’ve been flustered for a long time.” Tang Rou’er was still smiling like a child who did not know anything about the world: “But I’m not afraid anymore.”

“Why?” Tang Ming asked.

“Because, grass will die, uncle will die, life and old will die, people are normal, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Tang Rou’er’s eyes were like precious jade, sparkling and translucent. “I’m very glad, because compared to many other people, I already possess a lot more, don’t I?”

For the first time, Tang Ming realized that this little girl in front of him, perhaps she really was naive and didn’t understand the secular world. However, Tang Rou’er had a Seven Apertures Mystical Heart.

“Wisdom is a way of life, muddleheaded is a way of life, but many times, smart people don’t live as easily as muddle-headed people.” Under the moonlight, Tang Rou’er seemed like a fairy that had descended from the heavens: “So, there are some things that even if I see through it, I don’t need to reveal it. It’s not easy for people to live, so why are you adding to your troubles?”

“Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. It’s about to be my coming of age ceremony. I should prepare properly, right?” Tang Rou’er waved her fist: “Do your best.”

Tang Ming held himself back and couldn’t help but pat Tang Rou’s head. Having such a sensible sister made Tang Ming’s heart ache.

Just like Tang Rou’er had said, the coming of age ceremony was time to prepare. Although Tang Ming had followed Martial Uncle in the Cloud Sky Sect to deal with a lot of matters, he was still a bit flustered when dealing with it by himself.

Whenever this happened, Tang Rou’er would hold her cheeks and look adorably at Tang Ming.

She was as cute as a gentle and harmless little white rabbit.

“Brother, I’ve already sent out the invitation card.” Tang Rou jumped into Tang Ming’s embrace: “Is Rou’er the best?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Soft is the best.” Tang Ming helplessly comforted Tang Rou’er, who was hanging on his body: “How old are you? Why do you still look like a child?”

“It’s my older brother and aunt that are spoiling me.” Tang Rou gave Tang Ming a sweet smile. Her tone seemed to be stuck to honey, giving off a sweet feeling.

Tang Rou’s smile made Tang Ming unable to bear it any longer. He handed the gun over and said: “Alright, alright, alright. Little Ancestor, anything you say is correct.”

Tang Rou’er smiled complacently, as if she was a fox that had finally succeeded in her scheme. Her cuteness made Tang Ming rub Tang Rou’s hair.

It was Tang Ming’s birthday in November, and it was snowing heavily. Everyone was giving him some face and braving the snow as they came.

Qingfeng Manor was the first to arrive.

Tang Ming saw Su Ziyue taking the lead from a distance. It was quite dark and there were quite a lot of people coming.

Su Rong also saw Tang Ming and smiled. Although Su Rong’s smile gave people a cold feeling, it was still breathtaking.

“Brother, who is this handsome father and son?” Tang Rou’er pulled on Tang Ming’s sleeve and asked.

“That’s the manor lord of the Pure Wind Manor. The one beside him is the young master of the Pure Wind Manor.” Tang Ming explained in a low voice, “Does Rou’er think that he looks good?”

Tang Ming looked at Tang Ming, then looked at Su Rong and gave a serious evaluation, “He’s not as good-looking as big brother.”

Su Rong walked closer and heard Tang Rou Er’s words. There was no place for her to refute.

In fact, in terms of temperament, the two of them each had their own merits. However, Su Rong still lost to Tang Ming.

Even though the Pure Wind House was famous for its looks, in terms of appearance, there was no one that could compare to Tang Ming.

Su Rong had also heard of the rumors that had been spreading around the world that Tang Ming had been kicked out of the Heavenly Cloud Sect because of the “Fleeting Sword Art”. Although Su Rong didn’t completely believe it, she did believe it a lot.

Thus, towards Tang Ming, Su Rong’s gaze couldn’t help but carry a bit of pity.

However, Su Ziyue, who knew the truth did not have much of an expression on her face. She still maintained a smile on her face, as if it was easy to get close to people, but it was only a ‘seemingly’ smile. Young Noble Wushuang, the master of the Pure Wind Villa, how scary is he, I’m afraid only people who have been close to him would know.

“We meet again.” Su Ziyue was not surprised by Tang Ming’s appearance at the sect. She had already guessed that Tang Ming would be expelled from the Cloud Sky Sect, and with the addition of the medicinal herbs from the Pure Wind House, Su Ziyue had already guessed that Chu Jungran would not be able to hold on any longer.

Su Ziyue thought of Chu Junran and paused for a moment, “I don’t think Chu Jungran will be here. He has already injured his bone, even with the Blood Jade Flower, he will need some rest.”

Tang Ming nodded in understanding. Although when Tang Ming sent the invitation to the Cloud Sky Sect, he also hoped that Lord Chu would come. No matter what happened, no one could deny that he had brought Tang Ming along.

In the end, Tang Ming was only seventeen years old, so he naturally hoped that the person who raised him would be able to bear his weight.

But Tang Ming was also very rational. Rather than letting his master travel the entire way, Tang Ming hoped that Chu Jungran would be able to stay in the Cloud Sky Sect to recuperate.

Moreover, it wasn’t a good thing for the higher ups of the Cloud Sky Sect to appear frequently in the martial arts world.

Unlike the Pure Wind Manor, which was often active in the martial arts world, the Cloud Sky Sect had a long history and no longer needed to show off its strength.

Thus, in these past few years, other than major events, the Cloud Sky Sect usually did not open its doors to the martial arts world. The disciples that were active in the martial arts world were usually from the younger generation.

Under such circumstances, the temperament of Cloud Sky Sect’s disciples would not be any worse. This was also the reason why Cloud Sky Sect was able to grow for such a long period of time.

Therefore, when the upper echelons of the Cloud Sky Sect frequently appeared in the martial arts world, it would arouse the suspicion of the martial arts world. It would not be good if the Cloud Sky Sect was infected with the martial arts world’s conflicts.

“In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown up.” When Su Ziyue unconsciously said that, Tang Ming turned his head towards Su Ziyue in confusion.

“Young master Wushuang, you’ve met me before?” Tang Ming said thoughtfully.

Su Ziyue’s expression froze for a moment. The smile on her face drooped slightly, then quickly rose up again, so fast that Tang Ming thought it was just an illusion.

Was it about the annihilation of the Tang Family Castle again?

“Villa Owner Su.” Servant Zheng came out of his room and coldly looked at Su Ziyue. He didn’t know why, but Tang Ming felt that Servant Zheng’s cold face carried a hint of dissatisfaction. However, he did not care about Tang Ming’s gaze: “Please come in.”

Su Ziyue was stunned and smiled warmly, “I have been delayed too long.”
