Chapter 511: Chapter 509: Miss Tang of Tang Sect

"That’s right, I am an Executor of the Tang Sect. You killed two of our Tang Sect masters before, and your crimes are unforgivable!"

Steward Liu coldly declared.

"Who asked them to kill me? Shouldn’t I have fought back instead of letting them murder me?"

Xiao Yifeng curled his lips, giving the other party a look as if beholding an idiot.

"You... are courting death!"

Steward Liu said in a deep voice, his formidable True Qi bursting forth as he moved swiftly toward Xiao Yifeng, exuding a terrifying aura.

As the attack came towards him, Xiao Yifeng was about to activate the Nine Dragons Seal when a cold voice intervened.

"Executor Liu, stop!"

Following that voice, Steward Liu’s pupils tightened, and he suddenly halted his advance, turning his gaze toward the entrance of the villa, as Tang Shengyi’s figure emerged slowly.

"Miss!"

Seeing Tang Shengyi, Steward Liu’s expression changed, and a look of shock emerged in his eyes. He quickly retracted his aura.

"Liu Dequan pays respect to Miss. How come you are here, Miss?"

The Steward, looking at Tang Shengyi, quickly bowed, calling out with utter respect.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yifeng was not too shocked but a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes. Duan Canghai, on the other hand, was quite astonished.

"It’s none of your business why I am here, but he is my friend, and you cannot kill him!"

Tang Shengyi pointed at Xiao Yifeng and commanded Steward Liu with a tone that brooked no refusal.

Steward Liu’s expression flickered, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, Miss!"

"Executor Liu, this..."

At this moment, Duan Canghai’s complexion changed as he looked at Steward Liu.

"This is the daughter of the Sect Leader, Miss Tang of the Tang Sect!"

Steward Liu swept Duan Canghai with a glance and said in a low voice.

Hearing the words of Steward Liu, Duan Canghai’s expression shifted dramatically. He hastily knelt on one knee and called out, "Greetings, Miss!"

"And you are?"

Tang Shengyi looked at Duan Canghai with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Miss, his name is Duan Canghai. He was also a disciple of the Tang Sect over a decade ago, but he was expelled for violating the sect’s rules," explained Steward Liu.

"Oh!"

Tang Shengyi responded faintly.

"Whatever grievances you have with him, you are not permitted to trouble him anymore!"

Tang Shengyi said sternly, her gaze fixed on the two men.

"Yes!"

Steward Liu quickly nodded in agreement, while Duan Canghai, though somewhat reluctant, dared not defy in front of the esteemed Miss Tang and could only nod in acknowledgment.

"Miss, I came down the mountain specifically to find you. Now that you’ve appeared, can you come back to the Tang Sect with me? The Sect Leader and the others are very worried about you," said Steward Liu, looking at Tang Shengyi.

"I don’t want to go back right now, and it’s best you don’t tell anyone I’m here, or I won’t be polite with you!" Tang Shengyi glared at Steward Liu and warned sharply.

"This..."

Steward Liu looked somewhat troubled.

"If you dare divulge my whereabouts, I most certainly won’t forgive you when I return. Now, disappear from my sight immediately!"

Tang Shengyi threatened and then walked into the villa.

"Bye-bye, no need to see me out!"

Xiao Yifeng revealed a hint of a smile, glanced at the two men, and entered the villa.

"Executor Liu~"

Duan Canghai’s gaze once again fell upon Steward Liu.

"If you don’t want to die, stop harboring thoughts about this youngster. He is the young lady’s friend, and he’s someone we cannot afford to offend!" Steward Liu’s face turned solemn as he shouted at Duan Canghai.

"I understand, Steward Liu!" Duan Canghai nodded in acknowledgement.

Inside the villa, Tang Shengyi swept her eyes over Xiao Yifeng and said, "Don’t you have anything to ask?"

"What’s there to ask? About your identity? Aren’t you the Miss Tang of Tang Sect?" Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.

"You knew all along?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Shengyi’s eyes as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.

"As far as I know, Tang Sect is best known for hidden weapons and poisons, and you’ve been carrying a bunch of poisons with you. Earlier in the Underground Mausoleum, you also used hidden weapons to attack, plus your surname—it’s not that difficult to guess your identity, is it?" Xiao Yifeng looked at Tang Shengyi with a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"..." Tang Shengyi was at a loss for words.

Under the dark night, the stars twinkled.

In the Xiao Family Hall of Yanjing, Xiao Yuanshan, clad in a white robe, sat at the head seat with Xiao Ding and Situ Yan standing in front of him, both with ever-changing expressions on their faces.

"Father, why did you suddenly come back?" Situ Yan glanced at Xiao Yuanshan and asked.

"What? The Xiao Family no longer has a place for me, and I can’t come back?" Xiao Yuanshan’s expression was tranquil and his eyes, full of vicissitudes, swept over Situ Yan, making her face change color.

"Father, you misunderstand Yan’er. She means that if you were coming back, you should have told us in advance so we could have personally gone to pick you up!" Xiao Ding quickly stepped in to say.

"That’s right, Father, if you were to return, Xiao Ding and I should personally go to fetch you." Situ Yan nodded in agreement.

"That’s not necessary. These old bones of mine haven’t gotten so old that I can’t walk yet. I haven’t returned for over a decade, and this time I came back because I missed the Xiao Family and wanted to have a look, as well as to relay a piece of news!" Xiao Yuanshan’s gaze casually swept over the two and said lightly.

"Father, whatever it is, please just say it!" Xiao Ding spoke up.

"I am aware of all the things you’ve been doing lately. I’ll only say this once, no matter what, he is still the sole son of the second brother, with the blood of our Xiao Family coursing through his veins. Even if he’s been expelled from the Xiao Family, I won’t allow anyone to hurt him, and certainly not let the Xiao Family Retainer kill a member of our family’s bloodline!" Xiao Yuanshan’s face was solemn as he spoke and particularly swept his gaze over Situ Yan at the last sentence, clearly implying something.

Upon hearing Xiao Yuanshan’s words, both Xiao Ding and Situ Yan’s expressions grew very ugly.

"Father, you knew?" Xiao Ding asked, looking at Xiao Yuanshan.

"Situ Yan, I know about everything you did back then. For the sake of old Master Situ and Ding’er, I don’t want to make a fuss. After all, you are still my daughter-in-law, Xiao Yuanshan’s, but let’s draw the line. I don’t wish to repeat myself!" Xiao Yuanshan said sternly before he got up and left.

After Xiao Yuanshan had left, Situ Yan had an ugly expression on her face as she let out a cold snort.

"Damn it, it must have been that bastard, Xiao Han, who ran off to tell the patriarch. How else could the patriarch possibly know about these things? This guy is really clever, using such a tactic!"

"Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. With the patriarch back, let’s lay low for a bit!" Xiao Ding said in a deep voice.

"No way, didn’t you hear what the patriarch just said? He’s clearly favoring that kid now, even saying that the kid has the blood of the Xiao Family in him. He might even allow him back into the Xiao Family, threatening Yi Yun’s position in the family."

"Furthermore, it could even threaten Yi Yun’s status as the heir to the Xiao Family in the next generation. This is something I absolutely cannot allow. So, he must die. I will not give him any chance at all." Situ Yan’s eyes glinted with ruthless determination as she spoke with a cold tone.
