Chapter 127: Tang Hao Leaves

After some consideration, Tang Hao decided to ask:

"Senior, are you from the Jun family?"

Jun Wu Xiao was taken aback for a moment. He indeed had the surname Jun, but he didn’t belong to any clan. His family had died long ago, so this was probably just a coincidence. He shook his head and said:

"I’ve been cultivating here for a long time. I have a few friends, but I don’t belong to any clan."

Hearing this, Tang Hao felt as if he had struck gold. He thought:

"This is great! Recruiting a top-tier master into the family is incredibly beneficial. It’s even better than forming an alliance. This way, in the next battle, we can completely take over more resources."

He wasn’t worried at all about some clans knowing they would lose and intentionally sabotaging resources so the victors couldn’t exploit them.

Interestingly, there had been a clan that did this in the past. However, this action was highly disapproved of by both the government and other clans. As a result, that foolish clan was besieged and completely annihilated, with no survivors left.

Since that day, everyone behaved very courteously, and no one dared to play dirty like that anymore. Therefore, worrying about someone sabotaging resource areas was unnecessary. Although there were eleven people capable of such treachery without anyone being able to stop them, they were very principled and wouldn’t do such things.

Tang Hao straightforwardly extended an invitation:

"I wonder what senior thinks about joining the Tang family. As the young master and future heir, I assure you will receive the best treatment at the level of our family’s ancestors."

Jun Wu Xiao was bewildered by this sudden invitation. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Initially, he thought the young man might even challenge him to a fight.

"You should ask her." Jun Wu Xiao said, pushing Gu Zhou Jian forward.

At this moment, her mind was filled with question marks. She didn’t know when she had the authority to decide for him. She asked:

"Do I really have the right to decide?"

"Of course, this time you do." Jun Wu Xiao nodded.

"Good, then I disagree. If you join, how will I escape?" Gu Zhou Jian said.

Tang Hao was utterly perplexed. The senior before him spoke respectfully, yet she spoke as if they were equals. Moreover, he had never met Jun Wu Xiao before, and she had been in his family for many years, so how could she have met this person?

"What is your relationship with each other?" Tang Hao asked.

Jun Wu Xiao decided to have a little fun. He wanted to see if Tang Hao could remain calm. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her towards his chest, and said:

"She’s my wife. Is there a problem?"

Tang Hao felt as though his world was crumbling. He couldn’t believe it was true. He tried to reassure himself:

"This isn’t real. There’s no way she would like someone over a hundred years older than me. Yes, this must be a joke between a grandfather and granddaughter."

Did he believe this reassurance? Not at all. He was just clinging to a shred of hope so small it was invisible.

Gu Zhou Jian was also taken aback. The sudden turn of events left her feeling a bit flustered. She glared at Jun Wu Xiao and said:

"What are you doing? Who’s your wife?"

Jun Wu Xiao, seeing her discomfort, wanted to tease her more:

"Oh, come on, who was the one insisting on marrying me from the start? Why so shy now?"

"I am your Path companion, not your wife." Gu Zhou Jian said.

Jun Wu Xiao nodded. He understood, but he just wanted to tease Tang Hao a bit. He said:

"Of course, I know that, but I wanted to mess with the kid a little."

Gu Zhou Jian smirked and said:

"You’re quite mean, you know that? He hasn’t done anything to you."

"Well, you’re going to fight him in the future anyway. Teasing him a bit now might give him some spirit to cultivate and face you later. He’s too weak now, and if he tries using those toys, I’ll confiscate them for you." Jun Wu Xiao said with a laugh.

She nodded. After all, she would be challenging the Tang family. Not to kill anyone, but just for the fun of winning. She noticed that Tang Hao still seemed unconvinced and lacked the spirit for revenge. She wrapped her arms around Jun Wu Xiao’s neck and kissed him.

Jun Wu Xiao was stunned. He had never kissed anyone before. As for Yue Guang, she only ever punched him, not kissed him. They never paid attention to things like romance.

The kissing side is emotionless, but the looking side is the opposite, filled with emotions. Tang Hao felt like a mirror shattering from a great height, breaking into countless pieces. He shouted:

"Why are you doing this to me? If you don’t love me now, that’s fine, but why marry an old man over a hundred years old? You want to make me feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Zhou Jian laughed and said:

"Ha ha, he’s not old at all. I find him even more handsome than you. If he’s an old man, then you must be even older. You also said that he has an extraordinary and heroic aura, right?"

Tang Hao was so angry he almost spat blood. He couldn’t believe that the praise he had given earlier was now being used to mock him. He grappled with his emotions, thinking:

"Should I bring this person into the family or not? If I do, won’t people say that the young master of the Tang family lost his beloved to an old man and then had to humble himself to invite him back as an ancestor?

Damn it, that’s absolutely unacceptable. But right now, I can’t defeat him. I have to find a way to delay. When the time is right, I’ll ask my great-grandfather, and grandfather to combine with modern weapons to kill him. Yes, he’s been in the mountains for a long time, so he surely doesn’t have modern weapons. A missile is more than enough to kill a bone-forging realm cultivator.

I still have a chance to destroy him, but I need to lure him into signing an agreement to organize a death match where we can use weapons. After all, the court has banned the use of high-power weapons on the eastern continent for ages. But if both parties agree and there is a specific, not too-large area designated for the battle, it is allowed. Old man, just wait. You dared to steal the one I love, I will make you pay dearly."

His demeanor changed, and a professional smile appeared on his lips. He said:

"Is that so? Congratulations on finding someone you love. I wish you happiness. But if things don’t go as planned, you can always come to me. But for the documents, they must be returned."

When he said the last sentence, the smile on his face vanished, and he exuded the solemn authority of a family head.

Jun Wu Xiao couldn’t help but applaud. This kid was really something. He said:

"Return his things."

Gu Zhou Jian nodded and threw the USB towards Tang Hao, saying:

"Don’t worry, it’s genuine, and I don’t have any copies."

"Alright, let’s go back. Call the others to leave as well." Tang Hao said, then led everyone away.
