Chapter 1901: Chapter 332: Opening the Back Door

Tang Luo’s child was born, it was a girl.

In the strictly regulated Xiehe, if it were a boy, then the name could be chosen at the sect and reported.

But if it’s a girl, it’s all up to one’s free will; many illegitimate daughters until their families never even had their own names.

The reason is simple, after all, women, when married, must take their husband’s surname, if a Tang’s name is already decided, then why bother taking a name, just casually give a nickname.

Qianqian, this is the tender wrinkled ball of a nickname, when Tang Luo chose the name, Yun Xiu carefully looked into her husband’s eyes.

Because no matter how you look at it, this doesn’t seem like a particularly serious name.

But Tang Luo himself felt differently, and seriously explained: "The world has much suffering due to attachments, as a father, giving my daughter the name Qianqian is hoping she will have peace and joy in the future, taking everything lightly so that happiness may endure longer."

Yun Xiu reluctantly accepted this explanation, but couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful. She certainly knew how rare it was to have a child in the Fierce Realm and understood that her husband, now crowned king, might never have offspring again.

Although their daughter was also very considerate, how she wished to give birth to a son, to inherit her husband’s transcendent skills that despised the world, but alas, it was a girl...

...

Flowing water doesn’t rot, and doors don’t decay; winter can freeze lakes but finds it hard to freeze the rushing great rivers.

Yuanzhou’s passenger ship returned especially low-key because the Tang Clan people on board knew their identity wasn’t well-received and didn’t want to stir trouble.

But being low-key doesn’t mean being dull; from the South Sea entering Chaochang, the most heard along the way was rumors about Lingjiang Central Region, especially Xiling.

This city, submerged by floods and lifted by the efforts of three kings of Longzhou, is now called the Revival Land, offering abundant business opportunities that entice merchants and noble families from eight provinces.

Now, among the merchant ships sailing on this Longjiang, one in three is certainly heading toward Lingjiang Central Region; such prosperity was not even seen in Xiling’s peak times.

This made the clan members on the ship proud yet worried.

The former Longxi Alliance also had such vast momentum but was swiftly swept away by the Justice Alliance.

And now, will the Revival Land repeat the same fate?

If all the passengers were elderly, this concern would undoubtedly become the main theme.

But fortunately, all on board were young, though these years they were tormented by the Bitter God Detachment Skill, making the young ones standing on the deck appear a bit lazy, yet beneath this laziness was steely determination, facing everything with resilience.

The Tang Family disciples who could return to Longzhou with the ship didn’t even consider the possible difficulties they might face.

Having endured such arduous cultivation on the Snowy Mountain, what dangers could Longzhou possibly hold?

...

Dragon Continent Calendar 1797, January 15

Life’s game is like an endless cycle; many think they are moving forward, but in reality, they are just spinning within the rules, so the awakened ones always feel pain because they can’t find a way to jump out.

Or rather, they cannot afford the cost of jumping out, as it most likely means giving up everything obtained within the circle.

All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, like dew and also like lightning, thus should be viewed.

This sentence sounds simple, but to truly achieve this is far from easy.

The Tang Clan spent a thousand years transforming from pioneers of Longzhou to one of the overlords of Xiling, then took 20 years to dominate western Longzhou, and only during one year returned the efforts of dozens of generations to their original shape.

And now, Yuanzhou’s passenger ship was docking at Xiling in Lingjiang Central Region. Looking at this wharf resembling the old Xiling’s but more aesthetically designed, Tang Sen couldn’t help but feel a bit hesitant.

Behind him were the most outstanding young people of this generation from the Tang Clan. As soon as they stepped off the ship, it meant the Tang Clan was returning to compete with the heroes of Longzhou.

This step had no return; if any loss occurred within the next ten or twenty years, the Tang Clan might never rise again.

Once fond of the unruly dragon robe, Tang Zuo now wore plain clothes, standing quietly on the deck, with a calm posture nurturing immense energy.

Being the sharpest spear of the Longxi Alliance, the Dark Thunder Hall was asked to disband and go silent, gathering strength for the Tang Clan’s revival.

Tang Zuo initially didn’t understand this request, but seeing the prosperity of the Revival Land now, he somewhat grasped Tang Zhi’s intention.

Often the words "choice" and "sacrifice" are easy to say, but in the world, how many heroes are burdened by grievances and interests?

While a clan head as awake as Tang Zhi is indeed admirable, thinking about the unbattle defeat, as a warrior, Tang Zuo cannot help but feel tragic.

Greeting Yuanzhou’s passenger ship was Xiling’s city guards, disciples of the Marshal Star Pavilion, and Tang Luo himself.

Seeing his father Tang Sen, mother Xu Shuhui, along with younger brothers, sisters-in-law, and two nephews, Tang Luo unveiled a long-lost smile.

"Welcome home."

The Unparalleled Institute director, with open arms, embraced the family members disembarking from the deck, speaking softly.

...

The Tang Clan’s return to Xiling was no longer a secret in Lingjiang Central Region. People turned a blind eye because everyone knew it was that person’s decision.

Basically, there’s no acceptance or rejection involved here; because everyone is aware that Lingjiang Central Region will inevitably be that person’s stage, so only one voice will be heard here.

Acceptance aside, imbalance is inevitable because the favor the Unparalleled Institute director shows towards the Tang Clan members is blatantly obvious.

With last September’s Unparalleled Academy enrollment completed, the much-anticipated inner court entry standards were announced in January.

Regardless of grade and cultivation level, anyone who can ascend the 60th step of the Heart-testing Cloud Ladder can qualify to enter the Unparalleled Inner Court.

This news caused a surge in passing numbers at North City’s trial field because everyone knew that the so-called Unparalleled Inner Court was where the Unparalleled Institute director personally taught.

Not only the scattered cultivators without much background, but even the sect disciples were somewhat tempted.

If not for the huge cost of betraying a sect, no one would be able to resist the temptation of receiving teaching directly from someone of King Realm.

However, while tempting, the 60-step standard wasn’t easy; over half a month, out of tens of thousands, only a handful of martial artists entered the inner court.

These disciples who joined the inner court held a grudge and aimed to surpass the extraordinary reputation of the big disciple.

After all, before January, only Yang Fan had entered the Unparalleled Inner Court by passing the Cloud Ladder.

But after entering the inner court, they found it was entirely different; what was supposed to be a sparse group of a few dozen is now a huge class of several hundred.

And the senior brothers and sisters they hadn’t even seen at the trial field had a common trait: all had the surname Tang.

Filling the inner disciples who barely passed the Cloud Ladder with a sense of absurdity, wondering whether this was the Unparalleled Inner Court or the Tang Clan’s sect school?

How could it be that Tang’s disciples could enter without notice and outnumber all the people who passed the test combined!?
