Li Qing pursed his lips, but in the end, he changed his address. Ning Fengzhi and the other two also went along with it, changing from seniors to his Dugu Bo and uncles. However, it wasn't really taking advantage of them.
After all, there was a prefix, not just simply calling them Dugu Bo and uncles.
Such titles seemed to remove a layer of distance compared to calling them seniors, reducing an indescribable sense of distance. Their relationship clearly became more harmonious.
In the following days, Li Qing and his group did not leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but their cultivation did not fall behind.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and the other person had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, and the first thing they did upon returning was summon all the Elders.
Tang Xiao sat at the head, while the other Elders sat in order to his left and right.
However, everyone had a long face, arms crossed, and remained silent. Some even closed their eyes to rest their spirits, clearly showing that they had some degree of dissatisfaction with Tang Xiao.
"If the Spirit Hall comes knocking, I will bear it alone and absolutely not implicate the clan."
"However, the reason for gathering everyone here this time is not to discuss this matter, but because Tang Hao has a son, and that child possesses the rarely seen twin spirits."
Tang Xiao didn't beat around the bush and directly revealed Tang San.
"What?"
As soon as the words "twin spirits" were uttered, the Elders seemed to have heard a key phrase and turned their heads in unison to look at him, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.
Tang Xiao briefly described the specific situation.
After listening, all the Elders fell silent. Although they disliked Tang Hao, they knew the value of twin spirits and how high Tang San's worth truly was.
Tang Xiao added, "How should we treat this child? Everyone can speak freely."
Upon hearing this, no one spoke.
The clan chose to live in seclusion ultimately because of Tang Hao. Most clansmen hold deep resentment towards Tang Hao. If Tang San were to be brought back...
Tang San would definitely be implicated because of this, facing much exclusion and even bullying.
In that case.
How much sense of belonging could he have towards this home?
Let alone a sense of belonging, it would be good if he didn't seek revenge after growing up. Therefore, Tang San absolutely cannot be brought back to the Sect for cultivation, at least not now.
"Since no one is speaking, let me say something."
Tang Xiao said, "My idea is to send a Spirit Saint or Spirit Douluo to teach him outside, gradually letting him develop a sense of belonging to the clan. Bringing him back can be discussed later."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
...
Everyone knew this was the best option, so they naturally wouldn't object.
Tang Xiao nodded and continued, "If we want him to develop a sense of belonging to the clan, then the person teaching him is very important. Does anyone have a candidate?"
The Second Elder said, "Speaking of candidates, Yue Hua is undoubtedly the best choice, it's just that her strength is a bit low."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They all knew what attitude Yue Hua had towards her brother, Tang Hao. She could definitely treat Tang Hao's son as her own.
But as for strength... saying it's low is a bit of an overstatement.
The Fourth Elder said, "I don't think strength is important. At most, we can just send another person. The key is that she has a significant advantage in teaching children."
"She deals with noble youths all day long, so having her teach Tang San is undoubtedly the best choice."
"Moreover, everyone knows her attitude towards Tang Hao. Even if everyone in the clan hates Tang Hao, but she certainly won't, and that's the most important thing."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
As for the Moon Pavilion, that was just a job taken to collect intelligence. Sending someone else would be fine; the Clear Sky Sect still had that much face.
"Since every..."
"Dong!"
Just as Tang Xiao was about to make a decision, a bell suddenly rang out, spreading throughout the entire Clear Sky Sect.
"This is bad!"
Everyone was greatly alarmed and stood up in unison, because that bell was their Clear Sky Sect's warning bell. Once it rang, it meant a powerful enemy was attacking.
"It must be the Spirit Hall."
The Second Elder gritted his teeth and looked at Tang Xiao, as if saying, "Look at the good things you've done."
Apart from the Spirit Hall, no one dared to force their way into the Clear Sky Sect. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't. It must be because of Tang Hao's matter that the Spirit Hall was drawn here.
And the reason for all of this was Tang Xiao's stubbornness.
Even though their Clear Sky Sect's overall strength had improved after years of lying low, they were absolutely no match for the Spirit Hall. It wasn't impossible for them to be wiped out right now.
The Seventh Elder was even more furious.
"Tang Xiao, look at the idiotic things you've done! I said that scoundrel couldn't be saved, but you insisted on going your own way. Now look, what are we going to use to fight the Spirit Hall?"
Tang Xiao's face also sank.
He hadn't expected the Spirit Hall to suspect their Clear Sky Sect so quickly and directly force their way in, as if they had no intention of negotiating with them at all.
"Enough!"
Tang Xiao roared, "What's the point of arguing about this now? Instead of wasting time, we should think about what to do."
"Heh heh!"
The Fourth Elder sneered, "What to do? What else can we do? Either find Tang Hao and hand him over to the Spirit Hall, or fight the Spirit Hall to the death."
The Third Elder mocked, "Didn't you say you would bear it alone? Now it's your turn to perform."
Tang Xiao: "..."
I just said that casually, and you really want me to go die? Besides, is this something I can just bear alone? The Spirit Hall has to agree first.
Although he thought this in his heart, he certainly couldn't say it out loud.
"I said I would bear it, and I will. It's just not the time yet. We don't know their intentions, and it's even hard to say if the attacking enemy is the Spirit Hall."
Saying this, Tang Xiao looked at the Second Elder: "You should hide for a bit, we'll go out and see."
"Hmph!"
The Second Elder snorted coldly and left directly from the side.
...
Although the Clear Sky Sect had the advantage of natural defenses, it was fine for defending against low-level Spirit Masters, but it was difficult to defend against Titled Douluo, let alone five peak Douluo.
The five, including Gold Crocodile Douluo, advanced as if entering an uninhabited land, pushing all the way to the front of the iron chain ravine.
"Xiao Qing!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo looked at Qingluan Douluo, who understood, instantly completed her Spirit possession, and nine spirit rings of different colors rose from her feet.
Immediately after, she spread her wings and flew straight towards the opposite side of the ravine.
With her guarding the opposite side, Gold Crocodile Douluo and the others had no further worries.
The few of them jumped onto the iron chain and slowly walked towards the opposite side.
On the opposite side of the ravine, many Clear Sky Sect disciples had already gathered. They all had their Spirits activated, staring intently and incredibly nervously at the opposite mountain peak.
"That is..."
"Gulp..."
When they saw Qingluan Douluo flying towards them with nine spirit rings, they all couldn't help but change their expressions, and some even swallowed dryly.
"What are you afraid of? We aren't without Titles!"
Seeing everyone feeling fear, an older middle-aged man quickly stood out to stabilize morale, but his inner self was not as strong as he appeared on the surface.
