Chapter 879: Chapter 0879: New Year’s Day

"Although Old Chu and I are Seven Stars martial masters, the strength of the others in the Supervision Office is too weak. Once Old Chu and I leave, I’m afraid they won’t be able to defend this place at all. Anyway, Old Chu and I don’t return to the Poison Sect often. Besides necessary personnel in the Yunhai Academy, the rest are just cultivating in the sect. Why not transfer them to the Supervision Office to guard it?"

Xin Badao expressed his opinion.

After a moment of silence, Tang Ming smiled and said, "Alright, you did a good job with this. After all, you and Old Chu still need to come back to protect Liu Mengting and the others. With people from the Poison Sect stationed at the Supervision Office, even if top experts attack, the Poison Sect’s techniques will be able to defend it."

"Exactly, and although the Ming Group’s newly established branch was poisoned by Old Chu, the Poison Sect people can still live in it. This way, the two branches watch out for each other. Even if Old Chu and I are not around, everything will be under control."

Xin Badao explained excitedly, showing his strategic foresight as the Sect Master of the Poison Sect.

"Great, since you’ve thought it through so well, let’s do it."

Tang Ming nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Xin Badao, as expected, was more experienced in managing things. That the Poison Sect could grow stronger under his leadership was no coincidence.

With everything settled over in the provincial capital, Tang Ming had no more worries and returned to Songlan City. The group entered a period of rest. Despite having a great time outside, they were very tired.

The New Year was around the corner, and it was necessary to adjust their state to welcome the festive season.

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, during Little New Year, the refreshed Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were very excited. Early in the morning, they got up to decorate the room with the servants. The entire villa was lit up with festive decorations, full of joy and cheer.

"Tang Ming, brother, the New Year is coming soon. Why don’t you seem excited at all?"

Li Xiaoli sat on the sofa, arranging Spring Festival couplets on the coffee table while looking at Tang Ming, who was dozing on the sofa, puzzledly.

"He’s just a pig. Besides eating, all he does is sleep. I’m surprised he doesn’t get fat at all."

Liu Mengting glanced at Tang Ming irritably, full of jealousy.

"Eating without getting fat really frustrates those on diets."

Tang Ming yawned and said, "It’s just the New Year. What’s there to be excited about?"

"There’s only one Spring Festival a year. It’s a day of family reunions and national celebration. Of course, it’s worth being happy about!"

Li Xiaoli shouted enthusiastically.

"Pfft, I never celebrate holidays. I really don’t see what’s so great about it."

Tang Ming curled his lip disdainfully. Having always lived abroad, he either carried out missions or underwent brutal training during this time of year, feeling nothing about the New Year.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting paused, looking at Tang Ming with complicated expressions.

"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Ming looked at the two girls in confusion.

"Tang Ming, brother, you’re so pitiful, not having celebrated New Year. Don’t you have family reunions during the Spring Festival?"

Li Xiaoli put down what she was holding and moved closer to Tang Ming, asking with concern.

"Family? I’m an orphan. I only have a master, and he doesn’t care much about holidays."

Tang Ming thought about it, and truly felt a sour feeling in his heart.

"An orphan?"

Liu Mengting frowned slightly and quickly pulled Li Xiaoli, "Sorry, we didn’t mean it."

"Sorry! I didn’t mean to bring up something sad for you, brother Tang Ming!"

Li Xiaoli realized she had said something wrong.

"It’s okay, I’m used to it."

Tang Ming didn’t mind. Having lived this way for over ten years, he no longer cared.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting felt a wave of sadness. In their eyes, the strong Tang Ming had such an unknown side.

"I always thought I was pitiful for not having a mother since childhood, but I didn’t expect your story to be even sadder."

Liu Mengting sighed sadly.

"Yes, yes! I also depended on my brother. Our parents are missing."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, but compared to Tang Ming, she and Liu Mengting still had family members who cared about them. But Tang Ming...

"Haha, isn’t it funny how it turns out we’re all quite unfortunate?"

Tang Ming joked, wondering where his parents really were or who they were.

Thinking that Tang Ming might now be reunited with his parents, having a joyful family gathering, made Tang Ming envious.

"Don’t be sad!"

Li Xiaoli suddenly stood up, raising her hand enthusiastically, "Since we all come from incomplete families, we should help and care for each other. From now on, we’re family. Let this New Year be our first reunion year."

"Yes, yes, my home is your home. We’ve always been family."

Liu Mengting nodded, fully supporting Li Xiaoli’s words.

"Family?"

Tang Ming tilted his head, looking at Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting. Though he always knew the two girls were pretty, he suddenly found them exceptionally beautiful and radiant today, as if surrounded by an aura.

"Yes, family! Cheer up, brother Tang Ming. This is our first New Year together, we must prepare to make it memorable and warm!"

Li Xiaoli eagerly pulled Tang Ming up.

"Xiaoli, aren’t you going back to spend the New Year with your brother this year?"

Liu Mengting asked in confusion as she looked at Li Xiaoli.

"I’m not going back. Anyway, my brother is so busy with work, he barely has time for me during the New Year. It’s no fun."

Li Xiaoli shook her head and said with a smile, "I’ll call him later, telling him to do his own thing. This year, I’ll spend New Year with brother Tang Ming and sister Meng Meng. We’ll celebrate as a family of three."

"Ahem, why does that sound so strange?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoli, "As if Liu Mengting and I are a couple and you are the kid."

"Pfft! Who’s a couple with you."

Liu Mengting blushed immediately, glancing at Tang Ming irritably.

"It doesn’t matter, if you guys are happy, you can pretend to be a couple during New Year, and I’ll be the kid. Just think of the red envelopes I’ll get!"

Li Xiaoli shouted excitedly.

"Stop fooling around, and quickly help decorate the house."

Seeing that Li Xiaoli’s words were getting more and more outrageous, Liu Mengting shouted helplessly, "Later, we’ll all go shopping for New Year’s supplies. Let’s see what we need around the house."

"Fireworks, firecrackers, and lots of good food, we can’t miss any of it!"

Li Xiaoli shouted firmly.

Seeing the two girls lifting the mood, Tang Ming felt the excitement too and uncertainly asked, "It’s my first New Year; what should I do?"
