Insufficient balance

  Tang Hao led Ning Yan, Huang Yi and others into the other courtyard. Zhen Ni excitedly exclaimed: "Heavens! This place is too beautiful! From now on, I'll live here? Compared to the doghouse of the master's, it's really incomparable!" Zhen Ni suddenly realized she had misspoken, and hastily stuck out her tongue at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao pretended to be angry and glared at Jenny, then nodded, although he should have taken over the main hall, but he felt more comfortable here and didn't bother to redecorate the main hall, so he simply returned to the other courtyard and let Huang Yi and others move into the second floor, which also made Huang Yi's resentment towards the eight maids much less, because the eight girls lived on the first floor.

  Huang Yi and others' identities, Tang Hao also had a good explanation for outsiders. Huang Yi and others' original master was called Xuan Bao Dao Ren, whose cultivation was only at the peak of building foundation, but his skill in refining instruments was extremely fierce. Because he couldn't break through to condense pills, he thought about refining a top-grade spiritual instrument, and when the instrument took shape, he would seize the opportunity to condense pills. Unexpectedly, he still failed, Xuan Bao Dao Ren was about to sit in meditation, but Ling Xuan happened to enter, so he obtained Xuan Bao Dao Ren's inheritance, and Huang Yi and others followed Ling Xuan. Since Yan Chi Tian, who knew the inside story, had already died, no one could find any flaws in this.

  Tang Hao saw Ning Yan not speaking, but instead looking at him with a strange gaze, making Tang Hao puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  Ning Yan smiled and said: "The bride is so beautiful, don't you want to continue getting married?"

  Tang Hao came to, still wearing his wedding clothes. Just as he was about to remove the phoenix crown, eight maidservants entered, "Miss, the mourning hall has been set up. Please put on your mourning attire and tidy yourself up before heading to the mourning hall to pay your respects."

  Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh, the people who originally came to attend the wedding should have come to attend a funeral instead. Tang Hao still changed his clothes himself and let the eight girls do his hair. Huang Yi, Tang Wan'er, and Zhen Ni couldn't bear it anymore, watching their master being served by others made them feel like they had been robbed of their rice bowl.

  Ning Yan naturally saw this phenomenon and comforted them: "You guys don't have to be dissatisfied, who among you can do better than they did?"

  Huang Yi and others were stunned, indeed, Huang Yi said that she was just a village girl after all, although she was clever and obedient, but had not received training in this aspect; let alone Jenny, who used to be served by others and only knew how to act coquettishly in front of Tang Hua. As for Tang Wan'er, when she came to China, she was just an ordinary high school student, able to take care of herself, but serving others was still a bit unfamiliar.

  Ning Yan continued: "You have your own way of helping him. Look at how you performed when he was building his foundation, wasn't it not very good?"

  Huang Yi's expression changed from worry to joy, and she smiled: "After all, the mistress thought it through thoroughly, we've figured it out, but we will learn these things."

  Ning Yan's face turned red again when she heard the mistress, but as soon as she thought of Yun Xi, she sighed and seemed to regret why it wasn't Yun Xi who had beaten her.

  Tang Huan had finished dressing up, and it was the first time she saw Ling Xuan wearing white clothes. With his hairstyle not as gorgeous as before, Tang Huan also saw a pure Ling Xuan in front of the mirror for the first time.

  If it weren't for that arrogant and condescending attitude, if it weren't for those inscrutable eyes, Ling Xuan would still give people a kind but not pedantic feeling.

  Tang Hao touched Ling Xuan's fire-shaped mark, and for some reason, he felt that this thing was somewhat attractive, perhaps it was his personal quirk.

  Tang Hao let out a breath and said: "From now on, Ling Xuan is no longer the Ling Xuan fairy who was full of tricks and looked down on everything."

  Tang Huan, accompanied by eight maidservants, wore a pure white palace dress and walked towards the main hall. Before reaching the main hall, Tang Huan heard a burst of crying sounds outside the city master's mansion.

  Tang Hao stopped in his tracks and walked outside, only to see more than 50 children personally burying their own parents.

  The children stopped when they saw Tang Hao appear and shouted: "Ling Xue sister, we want revenge."

  Tang Hao nodded and said, "I know that many of you were still thinking about what delicious food your parents would make for you last night, but today..." Tang Hao didn't continue speaking.

  "You want revenge, but do you know who your enemy is?" Tang Hao asked.

  "Hailan Zong!" The children's voices called out in their childish tones.

  Tang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, the Hai Lan Sect was originally founded by pirates, killing people and stealing goods without doing any evil. Now although they have superficially whitewashed themselves, they are still greedy and cruel by nature. They deserve to die, but our enemies are not just them!"

  "Then who else?"

  Tang Hao shouted: "And those countless people who do evil for the sake of gain, as long as they exist, even if the Hai Lan Sect is destroyed, a second and third Hai Lan Sect will appear. At that time, your children and grandchildren will still be like you, burying their ashes here, and one person will be confused about what to do. Therefore, we must kill all the cruel and murderous people in the world."

  Although the children did not quite understand Tang Hao's words, they still stirred up their fighting spirit and shouted: "We want revenge."

  Tang Hao nodded and said: "Very well, but if there are people like the robbers of the Hailan Sect among you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  Tang Hao didn't know if this brainwashing would work again, but he was determined that his sect wouldn't tolerate evil and cruel people.

  Ning Yan saw this and covered her mouth, saying: "I think you're getting more and more like a queen."

  Tang Hao looked slightly embarrassed and pretended to be angry, saying: "Now in such a solemn occasion, don't make jokes."

  According to the custom of Penglai Island, Tang Huan had to kneel down, burn paper money and return gifts to those who came to mourn. Tang Huan was not a stubborn person, besides, the deceased were his parents, grandparents and ancestors, so he knelt beside the urn and burned paper money.

  In Penglai City, there was a Xian Tian cultivator who had successfully formed his Golden Elixir. This news spread like wildfire and caused a huge stir among the native cultivators of Earth, as it was unheard of for anyone to have achieved this feat except for Yan Zhitian, who had passed away. The news spread so rapidly that it even overshadowed the previous news about the death of one-fourth of the Jindan cultivators at the center of the Pacific Ocean.

  The prestige of Penglai City was suddenly lifted, and some people even began to call Penglai City the Penglai Sect, praising Penglai City as the number one power on Earth. Of course, Tang Hao knew that in reality, Penglai City was just an empty shell.

  Fortunately, the arch-nemesis of Penglai City, Hailan Sect, had just recently suffered a great loss. The only cultivator who had achieved enlightenment in the past hundred years had ascended to heaven, and as a result, the sect was on the verge of collapse. If no one from Hailan Sect achieved enlightenment within the next hundred years, it would be downgraded to a second-rate sect. The struggling Hailan Sect began to fear Penglai City's cultivators who had achieved enlightenment, even going so far as to abandon their important Earth Transmission Wormhole. Tang Wan'er took advantage of the situation and occupied the wormhole, prohibiting anyone from Hailan Sect from using it for transmission. As a result, the Hailan Sect cultivators who were originally active on Earth became rootless drifters.

  No matter how you say it, the momentum of Penglai City has been made, and the forces that have come to mourn are endless, among which there are no shortage of familiar faces who did not break into the formation to seize the treasure a few days ago.

  "The leader of Tōin Ryūdōkai, Ino Jūjirō, has come to offer condolences." Since no one was available in Penglai Castle, only eight maids were sent to report the death.

  Tang Hao almost burst out laughing, but still pretended to be very sorrowful. Ning Yan naturally noticed it and said, "What are you laughing at? You rascal."

  Tang Hao said in a low voice: "One night ten times, you still think it's me."

  Ning Yan also smiled slyly: "You're so fierce?"

  Tang Hao said mysteriously: "When will you have time to spar with me?"

  Ning Yan glared at Tang Hao, "Who do you think you are?"

  Tang Hao and Ning Yan may not have reached the level of telepathy, but it was impossible for Tang Ye to hear anything that night. Tang Ye, dressed as a warrior, had reached the late stage of foundation building. Unbeknownst to him, Tang Wan'er was staring at him with an extremely hostile gaze.

  "It was him, he's the one who made Zheng Xiong like this." Tang Wan'er transmitted her voice.

  Tang Hao's expression didn't change, he just transmitted his voice: "Now is not the time to take action, after all this is Penglai City's territory, wait until he leaves, you can call up the other four girls to act together."

  Tang Wan'er concealed her hostile expression, and also spoke to Tang Wan'er in a flattering tone: "It's Liangzi, ah. The rumor that you single-handedly occupied the top nine foundations of the Jiusi repairmen last time made me take a big tumble. Now that you've become a person on Penglai Island, don't forget to take care of your old organization."

  Tang Wan'er nodded and said: "I will, don't mention you this old leader, even if it's for the sake of Zheng Xiong, I will pay extra attention to the Ninjutsu Association."

  Yī yè shí cì láng zì rán tīng chū le táng wǎn ér, gǎn jǐn duì zhe zhèng zhǔ xíng le yī lǐ, sì hū xī wàng táng huáng tiáo jié, táng huáng zhǐ shì huí le yī lǐ, bìng méi yǒu shuō shén me, shǐ de yī yè shí cì láng dàn tǎn de zuò zài le guì bīn xí shàng.

  "I'm really sorry, we received the news too late, otherwise we would have come to rescue Penglai City." A strong breath came in from outside the door.
