Chapter 219: Chapter 215: Spring Outing

Translator: 549690339 |

The entrance to the phantasmal realm was being dominated, a village made brazen extortion demands on the two major families. Tang Luo wasn’t sure how the holy Xu Clan would handle it, but the approach of the Tang and Mi Clans was simple and brutal.

Weakness should not become a reason for slaughter, but enough ignorance and stupidity would suffice. Even if the village of the Mi family had a major power from the Fierce Realm, or if they only held 20% of the gains, the Tang and Mi families wouldn’t hesitate to act.

Old Master Xu’s face was grave, he sensed Tang Luo’s intentions, which were unfathomably calm, indicating that he wasn’t hiding anything regarding this matter.

“So you know it now. Old Bai became an orphan due to us, the Tang Clan.” Tang Luo said indifferently. He had no intention to justify this matter. If they could annihilate another’s village, what was there to deny?

However, considering his current entanglement with the Mi Bai, some things still needed to be clarified with Old Master Xu.

No matter the reason, the Tang and Mi clans, who had destroyed the village, were Mi Bai’s enemies.

Tang Luo found it hard to believe that a child carrying such a deep grudge could grow to be so indifferent and peaceful. Yet, he was happy for him.

If Mi Bai could let go of his hatred and live well, then Tang Luo could assure that the hatred of the previous generations would not continue to the next. If Mi Bai’s indifference was simply the disguise of suppressed vengeance, Tang Luo would understand as well. After all, it was his right.

However, seeking revenge would turn into a contest of strength, regardless of one’s perspective, Tang Luo didn’t think that Mi Bai could succeed, even if his target of vengeance was only the branch of the Tang Clan that had destroyed the village of Mi family.

But by chance, Mi Bai had met Old Master Xu, which had significantly changed the circumstances. If before their acquaintance, Mi Bai’s chance at revenge was zero, now it reached a 50% possibility.

Therefore, Tang Luo hoped to clarify things with Old Master Xu, before he decided to help. Otherwise, if Mi Bai were to ask Old Master Xu for help to take revenge, he would agree immediately.

Old Master Xu wasn’t stupid, he understood what Tang Luo meant and realized that no matter how he explained it to Mi Bai, his cousin wouldn’t believe that he had genuinely become indifferent. He helplessly replied: “I understand what you mean. I won’t intervene in Old Bai’s vengeance. Now, you can put down the food box.”

Hearing Old Master Xu’s promise, Tang Luo nodded, but still didn’t put down the food box in his hand.

Although his cousin knew how to put himself in others’ shoes, he was usually careless. Holding two food boxes almost as tall as him, Tang Luo calmly asked,”Do you think, for such a picnic, Mi Bai wouldn’t bring his little treasures?”

Little treasures? Old Master Xu was taken aback, puzzled: “What’s that?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“The group of children. Mi Bai treats them as his own flesh and blood, intending to bring them up, right?” Tang Luo looked at Old Master Xu who was still blocking the door and urged, “Aren’t we going?”

“Oh, oh, oh, let’s go!” Old Master Xu quickly sidestepped and offered, “Let me carry those.”

Tang Luo gave him a glance and was just about to pass the box in his right hand when he heard Old Master Xu say, “Such a giant food box, it must be inconvenient for you to carry.”

!!!

His forehead veins pulsated, Tang Luo pulled the food box back and stormed out, ignoring any calls to stop.

Inconvenient for him?

He was so tall and strong, why wouldn’t he be able to handle two food boxes? It was super convenient!

“Cousin, wait for me, don’t you dare leave—” Old Master Xu, with a puzzled look on his face, followed Tang Luo, carrying the paper and ink prepared for Mi Bai on his back.

By the time the two arrived at the foot of Red Cloud Mountain, Mi Bai and a young man had been waiting there with a group of children for quite a while. The children’s clothes were ragged, but they were all neatly cleaned. The faces filled with excitement and anticipation were particularly comfortable to look upon.

Seeing the two arrive, Mi Bai introduced with a smile, “Brother Xu, Brother Tang. Allow me to introduce, this is Brother Du from Red Cloud Village, who will lead us up the mountain today.”

Among the numerous mountains surrounding Xiling, the most distinctive was the Red Cloud Mountain, because it had a peak made entirely of red crystals. Under the setting sun, it shimmered with the glow of crimson clouds, hence also known as Red Crystal Peak.

People have been living at the foot of the Red Cloud Mountain for generations, describing themselves as the Mountain Protectors, their mission is to protect the Red Cloud Mountain.

So every time there was a picnic, if you wanted to climb the Red Cloud Mountain, you had to have a guide from Red Cloud Village, otherwise, they would prohibit the climb.

The young guide, upon seeing Tang Luo, had an immediate change in expression, showing an array of colorful emotions.

Old Master Xu immediately sensed the young man’s shame and evasion, targeted at Tang Luo, who was standing beside him. But when he glanced at his cousin, he found that his face was as calm as ever.

After a casual greeting to Mi Bai, Tang Luo greeted the group of children, “I’ve brought a lot of delicious pastries for you all-” This led to a cheer from the children, and a few older kids flocked to his side.

Tang Luo squatted down with a smile, opened the huge food box and distributed the pastries inside to the children.

Only after distributing all the pastries, did Tang Luo stand up and greeted Du Ziteng, “Justice fighter, nice to meet you.”

Du Ziteng was flushed with embarrassment. He approached Tang Luo, bowed and said, “Glad to meet Tang Tianjiao.”

Tang Luo smiled. The young man in front of him had left a deep impression. Not many would confront a golden chariot with lion statues head-on, especially to sacrifice their lives for justice. But seeing him today, Tang Luo found that he looked depressed with no trace of his former pride left.

It was understandable, after all, when he learned that his sense of justice was exploited and his entire family was targeted, he would naturally start to question the correctness of his righteousness.

“Would you dare to rush at Tianjiao if he were unkind now?” Tang Luo joked.

Du Ziteng was quite embarrassed but still stiffened his neck and replied, “If Tianjiao isn’t benevolent, why not?”

Tang Luo looked at Du Ziteng, his face stubborn, nodded and smiled, “I’ve heard that the scenery of Red Cloud Mountain is beautiful and magnificent, it is the second highest mountain in Xiling, and there is a unique Red Crystal Peak. Would Young Master Du guide us there?”

Du Ziteng became quite serious, gestured toward the mountain and said to everyone, “Why not? Please, follow.”

The children were the most innocent, and their hands-held pastry boxes were still fragrant. They wanted to go up the mountain quickly so they could start their picnic. Upon hearing the guide’s instruction, they started running up the mountain trail.

The adults were left behind. Seeing this, Mi Bai quickly shouted to Yang Fan, “Little Fan, take care of them.”

Seeing the children rushing up the mountain, Du Ziteng too hurriedly followed because there were several diverging paths on Red Cloud Mountain. If the children took the wrong one, it could cause unnecessary trouble..
