Chapter 774: Chapter 0774: Demonstrate Strength

"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Although you guys are my subordinates, you are still respected figures in the Martial Arts community, not cheap labor."

Tang Ming laughed it off nonchalantly, "As long as you follow me well, I don’t think I’ll let you down."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm."

Xin Badao and Chu Batian nodded repeatedly, secretly deciding to follow Tang Ming even more loyally in the future. Now, they not only gained both fame and fortune but also saw improvements in their cultivation, something unimaginable in the past.

"Can we go in now?"

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Xin Badao and Chu Batian before asking Tang Ming.

"Let’s go. From now on, I’m Tang Xin. Just make sure you don’t blow your own cover," Tang Ming said assertively, wrapping his arm around Su Xiaoxi’s slender waist and flashing a rogue grin, entirely different from his usual demeanor.

Feeling Tang Ming’s arm around her, Su Xiaoxi instinctively wanted to resist, but hearing the latter half of his sentence, she endured it to avoid revealing their identities and followed the group toward the Su Family villa.

No sooner had Tang Ming and the others entered the villa than the Su Family patriarch personally stood up to greet them, accompanied by Sun Zhuangjia. It would’ve been different if it were just his granddaughter’s husband visiting, but with the Sect Master and Great Elder of the Poison Sect also present, even the patriarch didn’t want to breach etiquette.

"Grandfather, Tang Xin has come to visit you,"

Su Xiaoxi reported affectionately with a blissful look on her face as she watched Tang Ming.

"Greetings, Patriarch Su."

Tang Ming feigned unease as he introduced, "This is the Sect Master Xin Badao and Great Elder Chu Batian of the Poison Sect, and here is Patriarch Su."

"Patriarch Su, greetings."

Xin Badao and Chu Batian bowed their heads in unison.

"What an honor, what an honor. To have two great figures of the Poison Sect here today, it’s as if their reputations thunder in my ears. I’m deeply honored by your visit to our Su Family," the patriarch laughed heartily, neither arrogant nor servile in response.

"Tang Ming, you hide yourself too well,"

Just then, Sun Zhuangjia suddenly jumped out, pointing at Tang Ming with a cold sneer.

"Why is this idiot here?"

Tang Ming looked at Sun Zhuangjia with disgust. "I’ve already explained clearly to everyone before. Tang Ming is my elder brother, and my name is Tang Xin. Have you no memory?"

Su Xiaoxi and Patriarch Su also looked displeased at Sun Zhuangjia, surprised that he was still doubting Tang Xin’s identity at this point.

"Humph, stop pretending,"

Sun Zhuangjia sneered coldly, turning to Chu Batian and Xin Badao, "As far as I know, these two venerated figures from the Poison Sect are Tang Ming’s personal bodyguards. With Tang Ming’s cultivation now crippled, they would hardly leave his side so easily, unless you are Tang Ming; otherwise, they should be guarding Tang Ming right now."

Hearing this, Patriarch Su frowned slightly, as it seemed to make some sense. If they were summoned over, who was ensuring Tang Ming’s safety?

"You’re really an imbecile,"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly, "These two were dispatched by me to protect the safety of my brother. Since I can send them to protect my brother, naturally I can also send others in my place. Su Xiaoxi and I told Patriarch Su you wanted to meet the two esteemed figures of the Poison Sect, and that’s why I called them over. Otherwise, you’d probably not even be qualified to meet them."

"That’s right, we are all part of the Martial Arts Inspection Team and follow the orders of Group Leader Tang, which is why we went to ensure Tang Ming’s safety."

Xin Badao nodded and looked at Sun Zhuangjia as he spoke with conviction.

"This..." Sun Zhuangjia suddenly became speechless, staring at Tang Ming for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "I don’t believe there are two people in this world who look so alike; you must be Tang Ming."

"Sun Zhuangjia, are you ever going to let this go?"

Su Xiaoxi glared at Sun Zhuangjia with disdain and said angrily, "Always causing trouble time and time again, aren’t you tired?"

"I’m not trying to cause trouble..."

Sun Zhuangjia hurriedly explained, then suddenly widened his eyes, "Right, since you’re the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, you must be very skilled in martial arts, correct?"

"My martial arts are not bad, subduing you shouldn’t be a problem."

Tang Ming straightened his clothes and said indifferently.

"Good, if that’s the case, then demonstrate your cultivation. I know Tang Ming’s cultivation has been crippled, so if you can prove that your cultivation is powerful, then you can’t be Tang Ming, and only then will I be convinced."

Sun Zhuangjia said firmly as he stared at Tang Ming.

"Do I need to demonstrate my cultivation in front of you?" Tang Ming scoffed disdainfully, "Whether you are convinced or not, does it affect me? If I am upset, I might just uproot your Sun Family entirely."

"I know your identity is special, and there is no need to show me your cultivation, but surely Su Grandpa has the right to ask you to demonstrate your cultivation?"

Sun Zhuangjia’s eyes darted around before he turned to Su Grandpa, "The Su Family is also a great family; as their son-in-law, at the very least, your cultivation should pass muster. Grandpa Su, am I right?"

"Heh, that is indeed true." Su Grandpa nodded, and although he didn’t believe Sun Zhuangjia’s words, he too wanted to see just how strong Tang Xin’s cultivation was. To become the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, he had to be at least a martial master, right?

"Grandfather, this Sun Zhuangjia is just making a scene, why aren’t you stopping him?"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi panicked instantly. With Tang Ming’s cultivation crippled, what would he present? This was a setup for failure.

"Heh, just a demonstration of cultivation, it’s not a big deal. I think it’s worth a try."

Su Grandpa smiled casually, not minding at all.

"Exactly, if he really is Group Leader Tang Xin, he surely can’t be just an ordinary person incapable of fighting, right?"

Seeing Su Xiaoxi getting nervous, Sun Zhuangjia was even more convinced of his judgment and stared at Tang Ming with a burning gaze, "Displaying some Gang Qi is good too, let us witness the strong power of Group Leader Tang."

"Fine, if it’s a request from Grandpa Su, then I’ll just embarrass myself a bit. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t bother dealing with your armored car,"

Tang Ming said reluctantly, then slowly lifted his hand and clenched his fist fiercely. A layer of black Gang Qi, solid as reality, immediately surged from his body, as the powerful aura of a Six-star Martial Master burst forth.

Xin Badao and Chu Batian instinctively took a step back, Su Grandpa’s face changed dramatically, while Su Xiaoxi and Sun Zhuangjia were utterly dumbfounded.

"As expected of the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, to be a Six-star Martial Master at such a young age."

Su Grandpa looked at Tang Ming, shocked. He thought Tang Xin could be at most in the Martial Master Realm, since he was very young, but he never expected that the power Tang Xin displayed would be that of a Six-star Martial Master, making him a genius among geniuses.

"How is this possible?"

Su Xiaoxi swallowed hard, completely flustered. Wasn’t it said that Tang Ming’s cultivation was crippled? How did he become a Six-star? Could it be that the person before her was actually Tang Xin, and the brothers had been switching identities all along?
