After Tang Luor finished speaking, Ye Xiu felt for a moment that the Tang Luor in front of him resembled the fake Tang Luor so much.
Watching Tang Luor's emotions shift so rapidly, Ye Xiu urgently asked, "Tang Luor! If something's wrong, tell me. Don't bear it all alone..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Luor's expression improved slightly, but tears still streamed down her face.
Ye Xiu comforted Tang Luor...
At that moment, back at the Tang residence, the Gun had returned.
Previously, the Gun was unaware of the direction to the Tang family. After being driven away, it happened to run into the Knife at the place where it parted ways with Third Brother.
The Knife had already settled down with the Sword, and the Tang Family Head welcomed their brief presence.
"Lord Tang, I have something to inform you regarding my elder sister," the Gun said to Tang Zun.
Tang Zun frowned upon hearing this and remained silent: "..."
The Gun continued, "About my elder sister, did she encounter Mr. Liu some time ago?"
"..."
Tang Zun still didn't speak and continued to frown. Clearly, the Gun was onto something.
"What did Mr. Liu say to my elder sister?" the Gun pressed on.
"Years ago, when we three brothers ventured out, we encountered Mr. Liu..."
Hearing this, Tang Zun was surprised. "You also met Mr. Liu?"
"Yes! At that time, Mr. Liu had a connection with us three brothers and bestowed upon each of us a character. My elder brother became Knife, I became Gun, and Third Brother became Sword. He also gave us each a direction, and eventually we gained some fame."
The Gun continued, "Back then, we didn't know about Mr. Liu's reputation. It was only after our adventures that we realized meeting Mr. Liu was a great fortune! In those years, we were just ordinary mortals with no cultivation potential whatsoever. If it weren't for Mr. Liu, there would be no Swords, Guns, and Sabers today."
"Understood," Tang Zun said.
The Gun continued, "Tang Family Head, here's what happened today: I encountered two elder sisters! Moreover, the true elder sister had a noticeably strange expression. Before I left, I happened to see the jade carving at her waist. So I thought to myself, she must have some connection with Mr. Liu. Every time Mr. Liu guides someone, he leaves behind a jade carving. If the person who receives it keeps it safe, they will gain opportunities. Earlier, my brothers and I lost our jade carvings, which is why our reputation has suffered."
The Gun looked at Tang Zun in silence for a moment before continuing, "Tang Family Head, my brothers and I from Swords, Guns, and Sabers value righteousness above all else. We have joined the Tang family and will dedicate ourselves to it for at least this year. After what happened in Qishan, the current situation of the Tang family is dire. With the addition of my brothers and me, we can at least help alleviate some of your burdens."
With that, the Gun knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in front of Tang Zun to show his sincerity.
Tang Zun helped him up and said, "Very well. Regarding those times, Mr. Liu informed me that Tang Luor has a great opportunity ahead. However, even the renowned Mr. Liu only knows that there is a great opportunity but cannot see through it completely. In the end, he only told me and Tang Luor one thing: 'When dragons and phoenixes meet, both will face calamity; to protect the dragon is to eliminate the phoenix, and to protect the phoenix is to eliminate the dragon.' After that, Mr. Liu left. I visited many scholars trying to decipher this saying and concluded that when dragons and phoenixes meet, it refers to encountering a beloved man; 'same phoenix' means another woman will appear. At this point, both will face disaster. To protect the male must mean eliminating the female; thus to protect Tang Luor..."
Seeing Tang Zun reach this point, the Gun nodded in understanding.
The Gun said, "However, I have a question about Mr. Liu's statement: just now, I saw two elder sisters!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zun was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?"
The Gun affirmed, "I saw it with my own eyes, and the elder sister also saw another one..."
At this point, Tang Zun suddenly realized: "So that's it! The meaning of 'same phoenix' might be that a fake Tang Luor encountered the real Tang Luor!"
Tang Zun paused for a moment: "This is bad!!! If that's the case, we must eliminate Ye Xiu as soon as possible!!!"
The Gun replied, "Family Head, as far as I know, that mysterious person on Qishan claimed that Ye Xiu belongs to Seven Lives Sect. If we really kill Ye Xiu, neither the Tang family nor I can handle Seven Lives Sect..."
Tang Zun frowned angrily at the Gun and said, "What? Are you... afraid?"
"No," the Gun replied firmly. "My brothers and I have joined the Tang family; we will work hard for it without hesitation—even if it means facing danger head-on. Even against Seven Lives Sect, we dare to challenge them."
"Good! Since that's settled, I'll give you three brothers your first mission!" Tang Zun declared.
The Gun knelt on one knee again with his hands clasped low.
"Eliminate! Kill! Ye! Xiu!"
"Tang Zun" spoke each word deliberately.
In fact, "Tang Zun" was quite satisfied with this child; if it weren't for the need to protect his daughter...
"Understood! I take my leave!"
Gun stood up and walked straight out of the room.
"Tang Luor, don't blame your father..."
Gun found Brother Dao, who was currently tending to the wounds of his sword. Sword Three Brothers sat on the bed, looking lively.
"Big Brother! How is Third Brother's injury?" Gun asked.
Dao continued to wipe the blade as he replied, "It's not a big deal."
At the same time, the sword grinned and said, "It's nothing! I'm already back to eighty percent of my strength!"
Sword Three Brothers flexed his robust arms.
"Alright, by the way, Big Brother, we have a mission," Gun said.
"Oh? What mission?" Dao was not displeased by the quick assignment; on the contrary, he was eager to take it on.
"The Tang Family Head has sent us three brothers to eliminate a student from Ming Zhong University!" Gun declared.
Upon hearing this, Sword Three Brothers became quite angry. "How could they send us three brothers for such a task??? Tang Zun really underestimates us!"
Dao did not stop Sword Three Brothers; instead, he looked at Gun Second Brother.
"That student is named Ye Xiu!!!"
Dao exclaimed in shock, "What???"
"Why are you surprised, Brother? It's just a student. We can easily take care of him. Is this Ye Xiu really that powerful?"
Hearing this, the Blade scolded the Sword, "I told you to pay more attention to important matters, but all you do is play around."
The Spear chimed in, "Third Brother, just listen carefully."
The Sword showed no change in expression. "Oh... then why does this Ye Xiu surprise you so much?"
The Spear explained, "The main character in the Qishan incident is that student named Ye Xiu. And that mysterious person claims to have accepted Ye Xiu as a disciple of the Seven Lives Sect."
Even the most ignorant Sword changed his expression at this moment, fully aware of the weight those three words—Seven Lives Sect—carried.
