The words of Tang Luo struck Xu Shuhui like a bolt of lightning. The relationship between clan members and their family servants should be the closest, yet it came as a shock that the youngster named Fang Han could cause such harm to Tang Luo, causing him to no longer want any family servants.

Looking at her eldest son’s dispirited demeanor as he ate, Xu Shuhui was greatly worried. She felt that the bastard, Fang Han, deserved to be cut a thousand times over for hurting the heart of her precious son.

“Come, eat more,” she could only keep adding food to Tang Luo’s plate.

The kindness of family always served as a warm comfort. However, truth be told, Tang Luo’s low spirits weren’t largely connected to his relationship with Fang Han.

It was due to some very realistic problems.

After their final battle, only five points of the 155 spiritual powers Tang Luo had accumulated remained, and due to the death of Fang Han, his daily income of spiritual power decreased by 2.1.

The feeling of substantial loss was too overwhelming for Tang Luo, and it didn’t make up for the pleasure of beheading his enemy.

He felt like he wasn’t actually suited for frequent battles. Fighting required spiritual power, the decrease of which would result in bad moods, and bad moods would lead to a desire to fight again.

Was this not a vicious cycle? How was he supposed to reach sainthood and become an ancestor like this?

Right now, Tang Luo could completely understand those players who only focus on progress and never engage in battle, because he suddenly felt that avoiding battles was the best strategy for him at this time.

How did that saying go again?

Not listening is turning a blind ear, not fighting is moving forward cautiously.

Yes, that’s the one.

Tang Luo was thinking resentfully while chowing down on his food. From now on, if he ever strikes first, he’ll consider himself a grandson.

He should’ve allowed Tu Tong to go with him, to kill Fang Han with a mere pointer finger. Now, it would take more than ten days for him to accumulate another star.

Fighting slows progress, it’s such a nuisance!

Watching her son’s angry face, Xu Shuhui felt as if her heart was shattering.

After finishing their meal, Tang Luo took his younger brother away from the dining hall, preparing to return to their room to practice.

On their way back, Tang Luo patted the young boy’s head and instructed, “You must hurry up and learn inner vision, understand?”

Because only with inner vision could he carry out his spiritual cultivation independently, Tang Luo could then give him the Stars of Metamorphosis level to cultivate. Even the leg of a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

After what happened with Fang Han, he didn’t want to carelessly hand over such precious items like stars again. If another person like Fang Han appeared, it would cause such a delay.

Now, only an increase in spiritual power could soothe Tang Luo’s lonely and empty heart.

No more talking, he’ll go back to his room to circulate his energy for thirty-six cycles and make his spiritual energy reach two digits.

The lights in the dining hall were still on, even though Tang Sen had finished eating quite a while ago.

The lady of the house, Xu Shuhui, was waiting for her first family servant to return to report to her. She couldn’t contain her anxiety and wanted to know the real situation between Tang Luo and Fang Han.

But Yuanzhun had yet to return – it’s not simply that the land lizard Yuanzhun rode wasn’t as fast as Tang Luo’s flying cloud beast, it’s that the flying cloud beast traveled in straight lines, ignoring terrain.

When Tang Luo left, he rode the flying cloud beast down the river, but returned in a straight line, naturally leaving Yuanzhun far behind.

Yuanzhun was Xu Shuhui’s guard servant, originally her elder brother Xu Changfeng’s close bodyguard, but he transferred his service to her when she was married off to Longzhou.

While waiting, she heard the steady footsteps that served as Yuanzhun’s signal.

“Greetings Miss, to Master Luo,” Yuanzhun with his stern face, carrying a bow and arrow, entered the dining hall to greet Xu Shuhui and then Tang Sen.

Even though thirteen years had passed, his habit of holding Xu Shuhui in higher regard than Tang Sen hadn’t changed, which of course, also denoted their respective positions in his heart.

Even though Xu Shuhui repeatedly warned and reminded him, Yuan Zhun remained unchanged.

Eventually, even Tang Sen became accustomed to it.

“Ah Zhun, hurry and tell me why you killed Fang Han.” Xu Shuhui waved her hand to indicate that Yuan Zhun didn’t need to bow anymore, and asked anxiously. She didn’t doubt Yuan Zhun’s abilities; Fang Han was just a warrior of the Mortal Realm, so why didn’t they just capture him alive and bring him back to the Tang Clan? To shoot him in front of Tang Luo- no wonder the child had such a dull expression, he must have been suppressing his anger.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhun knew that Xu Shuhui had misunderstood something. He immediately said to her, “Miss, please understand, Fang Han was not killed by me.”

Xu Shuhui was taken aback and asked, “Then who was it?”

“Congratulations Miss, the young master is a true genius.” Yuan Zhun said to Xu Shuhui, and recounted everything he had seen and heard on the banks of Lingjiang River.

With his narration, Xu Shuhui’s expression gradually changed from doubt and disbelief to elation.

Because she suddenly realized that her son wasn’t a waste of space, but a real genius.

Although there were always rumors in the Martial Hall that Tang Luo was a Martial Arts Genius, feeling the weak spiritual energy on her son made even Xu Shuhui dubious. Even if she believed that the Martial Hall wouldn’t lie, she felt uneasy about the idea that her son was still a genius.

A warrior who isn’t even in the Mortal Realm, how can he be considered a genius?

Yet, according to Yuan Zhun, not only did Tang Luo invent his own martial arts, but he could also defeat peak Mortal Realm fighters with a single move. This was no longer in the realm of genius; this was the standard for the outstanding figure of the current generation.

She was very familiar with Yuan Zhun’s personality. He was honest and very conservative; he usually underrepresented his confidence level by 20%. For him to be praising so effusively, Xu Shuhui couldn’t even imagine how amazing Tang Luo must have appeared at that moment.

After Yuan Zhun had finished reporting, he left the dining hall, leaving behind a calm Tang Sen and an excited Xu Shuhui.

“Husband, did you hear that, our Luo Er is still a genius.”

“Mmm.”

“Do you think Luo Er will be even more amazing than you in the future?”

“Ah.”

“Smack!” Seeing Tang Sen’s perfunctory manner, Xu Shuhui slapped him on the shoulder.

Tang Sen didn’t know what he had done to upset his wife and looked at her in confusion, as if asking why he was being hit.

“What are you looking at? All day long, you just grunt and groan. Talking to you is so exhausting. I bet you’re just jealous of Luo Er’s accomplishments. When you were his age, did you have even half his talent?” Xu Shuhui glared at Tang Sen, like a vicious little ax.

As a long-married couple, Tang Sen knew how to stay alive, he raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder, showing weakness.

“What are you rubbing for, did it hurt?”

Tang Sen stiffly moved his hand away and replied, “No.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“You knew all along, didn’t you!” Enraged and embarrassed, Xu Shuhui slapped Tang Sen’s shoulder again, demanding angrily.

Tang Sen didn’t know how to answer. Tang Luo being a Martial Arts Genius, it’s more appropriate to say he’s a controller of Spiritual Power.

Tang Bin kept pushing the idea to him that they should let Tang Luo continue his martial arts research, possibly invent several combined attack techniques for the Tang Clan in his lifetime, then the Tang Clan would truly be a top-tier faction in the world.

However, Tang Sen was not willing to force his child, so suggestions like those remained undeveloped. Tang Bin had expressed dissatisfaction with him several times because of it.

As for Tang Luo’s combat ability, to be honest, Tang Sen was hearing it for the first time. Just because one’s research in martial arts was exceptional, it didn’t mean they could actually put it to good use in combat. He knew this from experience.

So, faced with Xu Shuhui’s accusation, Tang Sen didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

This caused Xu Shuhui to become even more agitated, and she slapped Tang Sen on the shoulder again.

“Liar, you said you would never keep secrets from me..”
