Inside Tang Xiao's private room in the Clear Sky School, Tang Xiao spoke indifferently to his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen in nearly ten years. "You said you came back to find me about something? What is it?"
Tang Xiao's attitude towards Tang Hao was now significantly different. In the original work, Tang Xiao, as the Clear Sky School Master, always hoped his second brother would return to the sect and wished him and Ah Yin well. However, in this life, Tang Xiao was quite cold towards Tang Hao, which was not surprising. This was because Xi'er had followed Zhao Ling's orders and maintained an extremely ambiguous relationship with both brothers. For Tang Xiao, he and Xi'er were a match made in heaven. Xi'er had even told him personally that if she couldn't marry him in this life, she would rather die. When his father and the elders asked Xi'er whom she wished to marry, she unhesitatingly chose him. Only then did his father begin preparing the wedding for him and Xi'er, and sending out invitations to close families and sects.
But who would have known that his second brother would run away from the Clear Sky School with Xi'er the day before their wedding, bringing immense shame upon the entire Clear Sky School and himself. It wasn't unheard of for a younger brother-in-law and his big sister-in-law to elope. However, for this to happen within the Clear Sky School, the number one sect in the world, it was undoubtedly the biggest joke on the entire Douluo Continent. Because of this incident, his father was angered to death. Now, his second brother had returned home, claiming to have something important to tell him, which Tang Xiao found very amusing. If not for the fact that Tang Hao shared his blood, and internal conflict between brothers would only invite ridicule, he would have wanted to personally spar with his second brother right now.
"Big Brother, what I want to say is... perhaps the fate of us two brothers was changed long ago, without us realizing it." Tang Hao said with a serious expression, uttering words that left Tang Xiao completely bewildered. What did he mean, their fates were changed without them realizing it? Such fragmented words left him confused.
"Brother Hao, are you mad? Why are you suddenly spouting such nonsense?" Tang Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. He sharply scrutinized Tang Hao from head to toe, then continued, "If there's something wrong with your mind, I'll immediately find someone to treat you..."
"Big Brother, I'm not speaking nonsense. I'm very serious and clear-headed right now, you know? San was reborn from ten thousand years in the future, but his past experiences are completely different from what's happening to us now." Tang Hao's expression became even more serious at this point, and he stoically stated what he had long believed to be the truth. However, the 'truth' he believed in sounded to Tang Xiao like the biggest joke in the world. What reborn from ten thousand years in the future? It was simply nonsensical. Tang Xiao now only felt that his second brother had gone through a lot these past years. He probably went completely insane after Xi'er's death, even fantasizing that his son was someone reborn from ten thousand years in the future.
Putting everything else aside, Tang Xiao thought about his little nephew. He wasn't a god; how could he live for ten thousand years? Generally, a Titled Douluo could live for a few hundred years, and a Limit Douluo might live a bit longer. But what was the concept of ten thousand years? Besides the legendary, ethereal gods, who else in this world could live for ten thousand years?
Tang Hao, seeing the expression on Tang Xiao's face, knew that his big brother didn't believe him, so he quickly said, "Big Brother, I'm really not talking nonsense. Ten thousand years later, San inherited the Sea God divine position and the Asura God divine position. According to him, he's the only god in the entire God Realm who inherited two divine positions. Moreover, San also knows a series of our Clear Sky School's secret techniques, such as the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Method, the Nine Ultimate Clear Sky Techniques, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and even spirit ring detonation."
Tang Hao's words only made Tang Xiao more convinced that his second brother had gone mad. Tang San was only six years old now. Tang Xiao could somewhat accept him knowing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Method. But the Nine Ultimate Clear Sky Techniques, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and spirit ring detonation all required extremely high cultivation conditions. Especially the Great Sumeru Hammer and spirit ring detonation, which were only passed down to the single most talented individual in the sect per generation. How could his little nephew, a mere six-year-old, have learned heaven-defying secret techniques like the Nine Ultimate Clear Sky Techniques and the Great Sumeru Hammer?
Tang Xiao sighed heavily and patted Tang Hao firmly on the shoulder. "Second Brother, I know Ah Xiu's passing was a huge blow to you, causing you to have unrealistic fantasies. Don't worry, Big Brother will work hard to find someone to cure your mind; I definitely won't abandon you."
"Big Brother, my mind is really fine. San truly was reborn from ten thousand years in the future. Oh, right, he also said that our Grandfather is currently in the City of Slaughter and has even become the King of Slaughter. Big Brother, you know I've been through the City of Slaughter before and even met that King of Slaughter. But I didn't recognize him at all; he was actually our Grandfather." Tang Hao grew anxious, seeing that Tang Xiao still refused to believe him. He had returned with such difficulty, yet his Big Brother was treating him as if he had a mental problem and wasn't willing to listen to him speak more. However, he suddenly remembered Tang San telling him about their Grandfather being in the City of Slaughter. This made his eyes light up, and he immediately brought up the matter.
"What? City of Slaughter? You're saying the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter you've been to before is Grandfather???" Tang Xiao immediately lost his composure. The Clear Sky School had recently undergone some turmoil. Even the four single-attribute sects that were originally affiliated with them had been lured away by Zhao Ling. The Clear Sky School could be said to be extremely weak right now. In terms of top-tier combat power, it might even be inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, Tang Xiao had only been the Clear Sky School Master for less than ten years, and he was only in his sixties. He was older than Sword Titled Douluo Chen Xin, so it was not strange that his strength might not surpass Chen Xin's.
Of course, the Clear Sky School also had its advantages, which was that their number of Titled Douluo was slightly higher than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, the current Clear Sky School's gap compared to when their Grandfather was in the sect was still quite obvious. If their Grandfather were still in the sect now, Spirit Hall surely wouldn't dare to have other ideas about their Clear Sky School.
Now, hearing that their Grandfather was in the City of Slaughter, Tang Xiao naturally wanted to verify if it was true. It would be great if they could invite their Grandfather back from the City of Slaughter.
As long as their Grandfather could return from the City of Slaughter, with his title of undefeated on land, he would definitely be able to deter those petty individuals. As for the current Demon Suppressing Doulou, who claimed to be the strongest under the gods, Tang Xiao found it laughable. He hadn't even fought his Grandfather; how dare that Zhao fellow call himself the strongest under the gods? Heh, truly ignorant...
