Chapter 1561 - 621: Sorrowful Past

Chapter 1561: Chapter 621: Sorrowful Past

Late at night, everyone returned to the inn where they were staying.

Since Tang Tianqi’s accident, Tang Tiansong had remained silent.

It wasn’t until everyone returned to their rooms that Tang Tiansong finally couldn’t hold back and called out to Ye Lingyue.

"Team leader, thank you for your assistance earlier."

On the way back, Tang Tiansong kept thinking about the words Ye Lingyue said to Tang Tianqi.

The words seemed aimed at Tang Tianqi, but Tang Tiansong understood that Ye Lingyue’s words were also meant for him.

"Brother Tang, I don’t know what past conflicts you have with the Tang Family, but you are now part of our Huangquan Team. I don’t want you to carry the past forever. Remember, your actions now do not only represent you personally but the entire Huangquan Team," Ye Lingyue said meaningfully.

In Ye Lingyue’s view, Tang Tiansong was absolutely a promising talent, but if he remained in the shadow of the Tang Family, it would severely limit his development.

Moreover, in the future, he might, because of the Tang Family, make choices that would betray the Huangquan Team.

If Tang Tiansong continued to avoid facing the past, she feared she could not keep him.

"Team leader, I understand your meaning. I came to you because I want to ask for your help, to rescue my parents."

Tang Tiansong couldn’t help but spill out all the grievances between him and the Tang Family.

Clearly, these matters had weighed heavily on Tang Tiansong’s heart for a long time.

Tang Tiansong was a member of a branch family of the Tang Family.

His father was a Martial Artist of the Reincarnation Fourth Path, a team leader of the Tang Family’s guards.

As for his mother, she was a kitchen maid in the Tang Family.

Nominally, his father is the current Family Head’s cousin and nephew.

Like most branch family members, Tang Tiansong grew up as a servant in the outer residence of the Tang Family.

Before he was six, Tang Tiansong had never entered the main family residence.

But he learned martial arts from an early age and had good talent. By the age of thirteen, he finally broke through to the Reincarnation Realm.

In the Tang Family, breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm meant being able to enter the main family to study Martial Arts with the sons and daughters of the main family.

It was then that Tang Tiansong encountered Tang Lingbo, the daughter of the Tang Family Patriarch’s third son, the Seventh Miss of the Tang Family.

Tang Lingbo was also an outstanding figure among the Tang Family’s young generation, always being a leader among her peers.

Unlike other members of the Tang Family’s main family, she did not exclude Tang Tiansong from the branch.

The two learned martial arts together and developed feelings over time.

They even agreed that when Tang Tiansong broke through to the Divine Power Realm, he would propose to the Tang Family Patriarch.

Because there was a rule in the Tang Family that as long as one broke through to the Divine Power Realm, they could be recorded in the main family genealogy, becoming a member of the main family.

But just as Tang Tiansong was wholeheartedly training to break through to the Divine Power Realm, he unexpectedly learned that Tang Lei, the Eldest Son of the second branch’s direct grandson, had feelings for Tang Lingbo and had proposed marriage to her.

Tang Lingbo, upon hearing the news, politely rejected Tang Lei, telling him she already had someone in her heart.

Tang Lei learned of this and outwardly remained calm, but secretly discovered that Tang Lingbo’s beloved was Tang Tiansong from the branch family.

From that moment on, Tang Tiansong’s life became living hell.

Not only were his parents implicated and ostracized by the servants of the Tang Family, but Tang Tiansong himself was suddenly dispatched on missions outside.

During one of those missions, Tang Tiansong narrowly escaped death.

He luckily preserved his life and returned to the Tang Family, only to find that during the days of his disappearance, Tang Lei and the second branch had already announced that Tang Tiansong had died, and kept pressuring Tang Lingbo. To save the lives of Tang Tiansong’s parents, Tang Lingbo reluctantly agreed to Tang Lei’s marriage proposal.

Tang Tiansong arrived back just in time to witness the engagement scene between the two.

In a fit of rage, Tang Tiansong caused a big scene at the Tang Family.

This incident alarmed the Tang Family Patriarch, and ultimately, Tang Tiansong was captured and imprisoned.

The second branch of the Tang Family even falsely accused that the mission failure was due to Tang Lei’s involvement.

Just when Tang Tiansong thought he was doomed, that night, Tang Lingbo secretly sneaked into the prison cell.

Tang Lingbo told Tang Tiansong to leave the Tang Family immediately; otherwise, his parents’ lives would be at risk.

She also told Tang Tiansong she had never loved him and that she would soon marry Tang Lei, who would be the future Family Head of the Tang Family, and she would never marry a Martial Artist like Tang Tiansong with no status or position.

After hearing this, Tang Tiansong felt as if struck by lightning.

He couldn’t believe that the promises they had made to each other would be so easily broken.

Tang Lingbo also tossed a bottle of Elixir Liquid to Tang Tiansong like charity, telling him to get out of the Tang Family and that she never wanted to see him again.

With that, she left resolutely.

Tang Tiansong was driven out of the Tang Family, and Tang Lei further warned him that if he dared cause trouble again, his parents would be killed, but if he left quietly, his parents would be spared.

"Just like that, I left the Tang Family disheartened, always unwilling to accept it, wanting to rescue my parents. I knew that in the Ancient Nine Provinces, only the Jiu Provinces Alliance could rival the Tang Family. So I formed the Tang City Team and participated in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, intending to make a name for myself in the hunting, so I could have an opportunity to negotiate with the Tang Family to save my parents."

Talking about past events, Tang Tiansong looked sorrowful.

It was clear that he had both love and hate for Tang Lingbo and the Tang Family.

Ye Lingyue did not expect Tang Tiansong’s experiences to be so tragic.

Compared to her, her days in the Ye Family were nothing.

"Brother Tang, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should. Your enmity with the Tang Family is real, but I believe Tang Lingbo may not be heartless towards you."

Ye Lingyue had previously discovered some effects of the Spiritual Liquid in Tang Tiansong’s body. It was precisely this effect that helped Tang Tiansong withstand the earlier Black Cauldron Breath from Dongfang Liuli.

This Spiritual Liquid must be very precious, and it can be assumed that Tang Tiansong’s current cultivation is closely related to that liquid, likely only available to a few talented offspring of the Tang Family’s main family.

If Tang Lingbo indeed possessed no affection as claimed by Tang Tiansong, why would she give such a precious Spiritual Liquid to him?

"Whether she has feelings or not is no longer important. All I have towards the Tang Family now is hatred. The only thing I want to do now is to rescue my parents as soon as possible. After leaving the Tang Family, their days must be very difficult."

Tang Tiansong was filled with despair and sorrow.

A child unable to fulfill his filial duties.

The Tang Family, especially Tang Lei, avoided letting Tang Tiansong’s talented parents leave.

Earlier, Tang Tianqi repeatedly insulted him, and Tang Tiansong endured many times, all for the sake of his parents.

But what did he get in return?

Today, Ye Lingyue’s words awakened a dreamer.

Tang Tiansong realized that he could not keep enduring; otherwise, the Tang Family will only take advantage of him further.
