Chapter 699 - 551 Counting Heaven and Earth + - 552 Immortal Art and Valor Heart
"Tang Xiaowan, you’re out of your mind."
With a roar, the Tang Residence, sprawling over thousands of acres and as luxe and exquisite as a royal garden, was nearly completely startled.
The Clan Leader and several Elders were away, leaving the residence vulnerable. It was Ninth Elder Tang Yuanji who was in charge of the residence’s defense, a responsibility of great importance.
He was usually dignified and serious, never showing his emotions, yet now he was driven to such a frenzied rage. One could imagine the gravity of the situation that had arisen.
Hundreds of figures dashed towards the source of the sound, moving swiftly.
"Draw your sword, Uncle, either you hand over the command of the house guards today, or you’ll test my Mysterious Lady’s Pure Heart Sword. I advise you not to be too stubborn; otherwise, crippling your lifelong cultivation and still having to hand over power - why bother?"
Light as a butterfly, the green-clad girl standing on the lotus leaves by the lake seemed to embody Heaven and Earth’s essence, her eyes and brows picturesque, yet her gaze was as cold as ice and snow.
"Is that Sister Tang Wan? Why did she suddenly get angry?"
"It must be Uncle who upset her. Sister Xiaowan is the kindest and has foresight on many matters. She has even reached the Completion Realm in the Tianhe Calculation, known as Counting Heaven and Earth. She never does meaningless things. There must be a reason for her to seize power now."
"Yes, even though thirteen is a step away from sensing the Heaven-Man Sensitivity, her Mysterious Lady’s Pure Heart Swordsmanship has reached a state of divine clarity, defeating even the Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder. In the past, if she wanted to compete for the commander of the house guards, she didn’t need to say it out loud, just hint at it, and our Clan Leader grandfather would have been eager for her to serve; why the need for such extremes now?"
"Uncle, just give it up, losing to Sister Xiao Wan isn’t shameful. You are forty-three, do you have the face to compete in swordsmanship with your nineteen-year-old niece? Winning is no honor, and losing, you won’t be able to command the house guards anymore."
