Tang Huohuo sighed, "If Wanjian Villa wants to break off the engagement, then so be it. There are plenty of fish in the sea, right?" An elder spoke earnestly to him.
"Indeed, I've heard that Li Xuexin and Chen Anlin have had a complicated relationship for quite some time," the elder said, casting a meaningful glance at Tang Huohuo. He sighed, "As the saying goes, if you want to live well..."
Tang Huohuo waved his hand dismissively, his expression cold. "But what if Li Xuexin is being forced into this?" He continued, "I've interacted with her countless times; she knows how I feel about her. So even if they want to break off the engagement, I need to get to the bottom of it."
"But the problem is, how can our Tang family stand against Wanjian Villa?" The elder who had spoken earlier shook his head with a sigh. He felt that Tang Huohuo was being too naive; offending so many powerful forces for a woman simply wasn't worth it.
"If they really dare to act recklessly, then our Tang family isn't to be trifled with," Tang Zhan suddenly sneered.
Just then, a figure stepped out from behind them, casually saying, "Not bad."
Everyone turned to see a man with a bushy beard walking forward. His cultivation was formidable, boasting a third-grade level. He carried two long swords on his back and wore a black robe that gave him an air of ethereal grace.
"Who is this?" one elder asked curiously.
Tang Huohuo's lips curled into a smile as he introduced him, "This is Senior Ma Sanjian."
"Ma Sanjian?!" Some people raised their eyebrows in surprise upon hearing the name.
He was indeed a well-known figure. No one remembered his original name; they only knew he was surnamed Ma. Due to his use of three swords, he had earned the nickname Ma Sanjian over time.
It was said that his swordsmanship was extraordinary; he once infiltrated a Taiping Sect altar and killed several fourth-grade warriors, causing quite a stir in the martial world. Afterward, due to his low profile, few had seen him since.
No one expected him to appear here today; it was truly astonishing.
"May I ask how Senior Ma Sanjian came to be here?" an elder respectfully inquired.
Ma Sanjian looked down from his height with an indifferent tone and said, "It's a long story, but I'll tell you this: I have a bond with young brother Tang Huohuo. Anyone who bullies him is bullying me, Ma Sanjian!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the entire room fell into shock. Did this mean that they were going to protect Tang Huohuo?
Hearing this, Tang Huohuo's lips curled into a smug smile, filled with pride. Earlier, during his journey for experience, he had encountered Ma Sanjian and later traveled with him. Ma Sanjian admired him greatly, and as Tang Huohuo showcased his extraordinary talents and vast knowledge, he gradually earned Ma Sanjian's respect. Thus, they became close friends.
Now, upon hearing that Tang Huohuo was in trouble, Ma Sanjian came to help without hesitation. Currently, Li Xi from the Wan Jian Villa was only at the third rank of cultivation. Therefore, Tang Huohuo felt confident; if Li Xi wanted to call off the engagement, he would have to think twice.
Tang Zhan was very pleased. After all, his son had managed to befriend someone as powerful as Ma Sanjian. To be valued by such a master meant what? It meant his son was truly remarkable!
He felt grateful to Ma Sanjian for his assistance and vowed that the Tang family would repay him generously.
Ma Sanjian waved his hand dismissively, a nonchalant expression on his face. "Ah, there’s no need for formalities, Tang family head. I'm helping purely because of Tang Huohuo; I won’t allow anyone to bully my little brother."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room displayed relieved smiles. Tang Huohuo truly was the hope of the family; he had already gained the support of a third-rank expert. Moreover, this expert was among the top-tier masters! With such strength, he could easily rank among the top fifty figures in the entire Great Zhou!
"Thank you for your help, Senior Ma," Tang Huohuo said as he cupped his hands in gratitude.
This humble attitude further endeared him to Ma Sanjian. One of the reasons he valued Tang Huohuo was that it seemed he had a natural talent for talisman arts. He even had some intentions of asking for their assistance in that regard.
"Alright, let’s have Chen Anlin and the people from Wan Jian Villa come over," Ma Sanjian said with a wave of his hand, still unconcerned.
Tang Zhanchao nodded to the guards below him. "Invite them in."
"Yes," the guard replied, feeling a surge of joy within. With the presence of Senior Ma Sanjian, their victory was almost assured. No matter how powerful the Wan Jian Mountain Villa was, would they dare to offend Senior Ma Sanjian? As for Chen Anlin, he was nothing more than a joke—just someone relying on the Empress; he wasn't worth mentioning.
A moment later, the guard arrived at the door and cast a meaningful glance at Chen Anlin before smiling and saying, "Everyone, our master has just said that you are all invited inside."
The guard was eager to see how surprised Chen Anlin and the others would be upon seeing Ma Sanjian. That expression would surely be quite entertaining.
Thus, they entered the Tang residence.
Upon reaching the main hall, everyone stepped into the grand chamber. At the high table, Tang Zhan and Ma Sanjian were seated on either side, laughing and sipping tea, completely ignoring the members of Wan Jian Mountain Villa.
It wasn't until Li Xi spoke that Tang Zhan stood up. "Master Li, it's been a long time. Please take a seat. By the way, let me introduce you—this is Senior Ma Sanjian."
Ma Sanjian leisurely sipped his tea. Although Li Xi's cultivation was comparable to his own—they were both at the third rank—he considered himself senior in terms of experience. Besides, wielding three swords, he believed he was not weaker than Li Xi.
Chen Anlin stood beside Li Xi without glancing at Ma Sanjian. Instead, he focused on a young man standing behind him. Upon entering, Bai Yu Xianzi had just informed him that this person was none other than Tang Huohuo, the young master of the Tang family who had attacked him earlier!
Immediately, he checked Tang Huohuo's information.
