Chapter 132: Get on the train
Tang Jie was not surprised when he saw his two family ancestors’ puzzlement. He himself had initially found the situation extremely unusual. He said:
"I don’t fully understand it either, but Tang Hao said that the senior married Gu Zhou Jian."
The two old men were astounded, their eyes wide in disbelief. They even wondered if they were hard of hearing. However, Tang Ming, after pondering for a moment, noticed something odd and said:
"Perhaps their relationship isn’t truly a marriage. They might be doing this to incite Tang Hao’s spirit of revenge. But that girl must be on par with them in some way. Do you understand what this means?"
"Grandfather means that the girl might be as powerful as them in the future. I knew she was unusual, but I never imagined her potential would be this great." Tang Jie said.
"Indeed, I think the girl truly has that potential. The Tang family killed many members of her clan, yet I didn’t sense any hatred from her. She was only slightly annoyed at being treated as a trophy. Someone like her, seemingly human but not quite, having the potential to become a god is not surprising. Although I consider myself somewhat extraordinary, I’m still far inferior to her." Tang Ying said.
He had met Gu Zhou Jian once, and at that moment, he also realized her uniqueness. But he didn’t care much, as high-level cultivators usually didn’t involve themselves in mundane matters.
Every so often, high-level cultivators would head to the eastern continent for a fight. During these times, it’s rare for a bone forging realm cultivator to die because they bear no grudges against each other and only want to protect humanity.
However, every once in a while, there are someone who want to fight each other to the death or use their bodies to test bombs, so they die. These cases are not banned by the royal court because anyway, the number of deaths due to these things is very small, sometimes only once every decades.
"That’s true. I also know that girl doesn’t harbor hatred towards the Tang family, even though we nearly wiped out her clan. And Tang Hao definitely wouldn’t bear to kill her, so her wanting to kill him is out of the question." Tang Jie said.
The two old men nodded, and Tang Ming said:
"Young people have their pride. Moreover, seeing someone they love become the wife of an old man is hard to accept. That boy is on the same path as you, aiming to become a clan leader rather than a true cultivator. So of course he’s much more emotional than us old guys."
"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to bear it either. After all, not everyone can become a cultivator. A lifetime of cultivation is truly arduous." Tang Jie nodded and said.
He knew cultivation was hard but still strove to reach the bone forging realm to have more time to develop the family. Going any further was beyond his endurance. The painful and tedious process that had lasted more than half a century was already too much.
Tang Ying did not agree or disagree when his son said that cultivation was arduous. He simply said:
"Happiness or suffering all lie in just one thought. You may feel that cultivation is difficult, but I don’t feel that way. I feel that this price is worth it. What you want to protect is Tang family and what I want to protect is humanity."
"That’s right. Happiness or suffering all lie in just one thought. If we think happiness, it will be happiness, if we think suffering, it will be suffering. But anyway, don’t force yourself to change your mind, just do what suits you best. Well, I won’t bother you two cultivating anymore. I’ll go out." Tang Jie said then left this secret chamber.

Jun Wu Xiao was carrying a motorcycle on his shoulder, following closely behind the high-speed train. He thought:
"This is not as noisy as the old trains. She wasn’t exaggerating, it’s really fast. If the transportation is this fast, then the weapons must also be swift and powerful. I hope Tang Hao won’t disappoint me."
His following the train from right behind was noticed by the operator and the surveillance system. However, they didn’t stop him and continued as usual, while also notifying the next station.
Occasionally, some cultivators would do strange things like people from the past arriving in the modern world, which wasn’t particularly unusual.
As long as they didn’t actively destroy infrastructure, they were left alone. But prevention is better than cure, so it was better to guide them before they broke anything.
In the eyes of the citizens, these cultivators were like people from the past who knew nothing about the modern world. Thus, the citizens were quite happy to guide them when they saw a bewildered cultivator standing in the street. After all, it was better than letting them crash cars, demolish houses, or break streetlights.
After following the train for a while, it reached the next station and stopped. Jun Wu Xiao, though knowing this wasn’t the capital, was unsure if Gu Zhou Jian would go out, so he went to check.
After confirming that she remained on the train, he intended to continue following it. But at that moment, an employee shouted:
"Excuse me, sir!"
Jun Wu Xiao frowned, not remembering doing anything wrong to be called out. Though running on the high-speed rail tracks was clearly illegal for ordinary people, he replied:
"Are you calling me?"
"Yes, you can board the train for free and without a ticket or card." the employee said.
Jun Wu Xiao nodded, but he wasn’t sure if he could bring the motorbike on board. He asked:
"And the motorbike? Can I bring it with me?"
"You can. Just go to the last carriage, there’s an empty area large enough for your motorcycle." the employee replied.
Hearing this, Jun Wu Xiao was pleased. Although he had already seen enough from the outside, he was eager to learn more. Naturally, he wanted to go inside for a closer look. He smiled and said:
"Ha ha, thank you very much."
"You’re welcome. It’s not uncommon for cultivators to be unfamiliar with modern society. We need to help them quickly adapt to it." the employee said.
Though it sounded nice, the real reason was to prevent Jun Wu Xiao from causing any accidents or unintentionally damaging the tracks.
"Wow, humanity now cares about cultivators, huh? But they’re not wrong. After secluded cultivating for decades, one would indeed be incredibly outdated. Wait, their attitude seems like they’re afraid I’ll damage the tracks. Damn, so they’re scared I’ll damage the tracks, they want me sit inside." Jun Wu Xiao thought.
But sitting inside the train was better than running on the tracks, so he followed the employee’s instructions.
