Chapter 780: Blocking the Path
The arrival of the Moon Goddess and her group had attracted attention especially with how the old man who was checking the invitation had acted. It was like a grand entrance even the serious gatekeeper turned amiable before this group. They were almost acting like servants welcoming a noble even bowing their heads in their presence. Ordinary people who panic have this gesture but no one from this group. Each one of them has a high standing in the world they came from. So seeing bow in front of them they didn’t over react like the crowd.
Though the old man gatekeeper didn’t greet the other openly, he still nodded towards them. Right now serving the Goddess, the Lord and the little prince is something he must do. If he doesn’t do well, he is afraid that the young master will not forgive him. There is also the master of their clan who had hidden himself from the young master, observing him in silence and watching how his foolish son handled the situation on the Dawn Star.
After all, as soon as he arrived on this planet, he was welcomed by news like someone of the Moon Empress coming to this planet to rest or how a traitor from their side had been secretly using this star as a hub for trafficking children. The Su family’s clan master was terrified especially after hearing that one of those children is a direct bloodline of the Moon Clan. He was even more frightened when he learned that the little prince was saved by the Moon Empress. Just as he thought their planet would suffer from the anger of the Goddess of the Moon, but the goddess didn’t seem to have any intention of telling her identity to the little prince, that is why he had forbidden everyone from voicing the real identity of the Moon Goddess and only allowed to call her goddess.
Seeing the service of the people towards their group, Elf King Andromeda was a bit satisfied. They are treating his great granddaughter and the boy with the same level of respect towards him. He had passed the invitation given to him by Yue Xuexia in the carriage. Giving it to him is the same as telling everyone that he is the leader of the group and the most senior among them.
Elf King Andromeda passed the Special grade invitation to the gatekeeper. There is only a special grade invitation which was personally written by the owner of the world, Su Liyi. After this group had entered the trading hall, the guards had opened a path to this group which rendered everyone speechless. The other guests in the silver and gold ranked floors were also stunned by this situation.
They keep on staring at the Moon Goddess whose half of her face was hidden behind a veil. They were surprised that the one who was escorting this quite big group was the old man at the door who had checked on their invitation.
"Please follow closely. Your private room has been prepared. I will personally escort you there and be at standby by your side." The old man said with a smile while leading the group.
The walks through the three floors and under everyone’s attention they were brought on the floor above the gold grade floor. As they walked through the floors the exposed faces of the people behind the moon goddess were recognized by the crowd. This is especially true to the two old couples behind them which are Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi.
As expected, the moment they climbed up on the floor where the gold grade invitation holders stayed, the ones from the Hidden Tang Sect stood up in surprise. The two youngsters were confused when they saw their father suddenly stood up looking at the crowd coming over towards them. The middle aged man hurriedly took large strides towards the group of the Moon Goddess and blocked their paths.
Narrowing his eyes, the moment this man from the Hidden Tang Clan had appeared, Tan Bingyu and others had stood before their mistress blocking the man’s path.
"Name yourself! Why do you block our Mistress’s path!?" Tan Bingyu questioned.
The middle aged man was about to ignore them but suddenly heard the reprimanded voice of Tang Yuyi.
"What the gall!? Tang Yuan! Kneel down this instant!" Tang Yuyi said.
The moment he heard his name mentioned, the middle aged man who was blocking the path had fallen on his knees. Tang Yuyi hurriedly went in front of her mistress and lowered her head.
"Mistress, this one is from my clan. He didn’t know your identity. I apologized for his rudeness."
Tang Yuyi said. Upon hearing this, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue calmed down and stood beside the Moon Goddess. After their grandmother spoke, they realized that this man might be from her clan in the Immortal World, the Hidden Tang Sect.
Tan Shenyu asked, "Mother, is he from the Hidden Tang Sect?"
Tang Yuan was shocked when he heard this man called his foster mother and master as his mother. He realized that this young man who barely looked like someone in his thirties might be their ancestor’s blood related son. He actually noticed on the way that his foster mother had an unusual relationship with the man standing by her side before.
As expected, Tang Yuyi responded, "Yes. He is from the Hidden Tang Sect."
"Since you are acquainted, you may accompany them for a bit. We are going ahead," the Moon Goddess had spoken.
The moment the Moon Goddess had spoken the whole area unexpectedly turned silent as if all the sound had turned quiet just allowing his words to be heard. She glanced at the old man who was escorting them and the old man realized that he could once again lead. He gestured politely for people to continue following him. In the end, Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu choose to remain on this floor while the Moon Goddess and the others continue heading to the upper floor which was blocked by the guards. The guards that stood by the entrance prevented those who weren’t escorted up to go to the upper floor where the private room is located.
Only when the Moon Goddess and the others had left did Tang Yuyi hit the head of Tang Yuan.
"You stupid brat! Stand up for this old woman!" Tang Yuyi said.
Tang Yuan who got hit on the head looked guilty as he stood up from kneeling. He wasn’t angry that Tang Yuyi was treating him like this.
"Foster mother, hello~" Tang Yuan said in greeting. He also clasped his head towards Tan Huangyu who obvious chose to stay because of his foster mother.
Tang Yuyi sighed and grabbed the arm of her husband and officially introduced the two.
"A’Yuan, this is my husband, his name is Tan Huangyu. We also have a son. You’ve seen him speak up. His name is Tan Shenyu. Call him little brother, there is also a daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Well you can meet them later after the auction."
"Husband, this is my disciple and adopted son. His name is Tang Yuan," said Tang Yuyi.
The two men greeted one another after they were officially introduced by Tang Yuyie.
Tang Yuan felt the eyes that fell on them and gestured towards the two elders, "Foster Mother, Foster Father, please take a seat with us for a while. We can continue our conversation while seated."
Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu had no other choice but to join them on their table where a young lady and young man were waiting. The two overheard the conversation from a distance and realized that this lady was one of their sect’s ancestors.
"Tang Yumi and Tang Yuran greet the Ancestors!"
"Good children! Take a seat." Tang Yuyi said.
The tea was served by the two youngsters and they respectfully stood behind their father letting their seniors take a seat.
Tang Yuan asked, "Master, where have you been all these years?"
"This conversation will continue in private. Tell me. Why are you here first?" Tang Yuyi asked.
A sad and frustrated expression appeared on Tang Yuan’s face and said, "My wife was poisoned. It’s the Du Clan."
"What did you say!? Poisoned!?" Tang Yuyi turned her head and saw the representative of the Du Clan who pretended not to see her glare.
Hmph!
"They would have to pay for what they had done!" Tang Yuyi waved her hand and a sound isolation barrier surrounded their group.
She thought she could wait after the auction was done before she could ask the situation of the Hidden Tang Sect but upon hearing that her disciple’s wife was poisoned by the Du Clan, she realized that the situation it’s good as she thought. Tang Yuyi can only ask the details while they are still here.
Tang Yuyi said, "The poison of your wife, I will handle it. Tell me what is the current situation of our sect after my sister and I disappeared. Do not dare to hide anything from this old lady!"
