HITA Chapter 14

“Isn’t this the sect leader of the Hundred Poison Sect? I’ve heard a lot about you.” Tang Yu bowed slightly. Upon seeing this, Shi Shuiyue was stunned for a moment and blurted out a reply, “Mhm.”

Tang Xing’s gaze dimmed, and he swiftly pulled Shi Shuiyue behind himself. The smile on his face had already disappeared. With a frown, he asked, “What exactly do you want?”

“Aiya, no need to be so cautious ah.” Tang Yu smiled and casually flipped his hair, “It’s just that there are some personal grudges that need to be dealt with, but on another note, Little Xing, you still have such a sensitive temperament ah.”

When Shi Shuiyue heard Tang Yu’s words, she couldn’t help but take a look at Tang Xing. However, there wasn’t any change in the expression on Tang Xing’s face. 

This person’s name sounded somewhat familiar…but she couldn’t remember it. But, since his surname is Tang, Shi Shuiyue reckoned that he was probably some kind relative of Tang Xing. 

Clank!

“Little Xing, what do you mean by this?” The smile on Tang Yu’s face gradually stiffened.

A sharp blade was pointed at Tang Yu. Tang Xing closed his eyes, and then opened them again. His eyes looked like a pool of stagnant water—it was completely still and emotionless. 

“Just stop.” Tang Xing slowly said, “She’s already dead.”

“Shut up!” Tang Yu’s expression immediately turned menacing, and a fierce wind suddenly blew. Shi Shuiyue couldn’t help but shrink behind Tang Xing. 

Tang Xing turned his head slightly and gently grasped Shi Shuiyue’s hand. He said in a moderately loud voice, “Go over there and wait for me.”

Due to her height, Shi Shuiyue had to raise her head to look at Tang Xing. Shi Shuiyue’s figure was reflected in his bottomless gaze, as if he could only see Shi Shuiyue in his eyes. 

“Mhm.” She didn’t know whether it was because his hair blown up by the wind looked too alluring, or if it was the unknown emotions in Tang Xing’s eyes, but Shi Shuiyue simply decided not to think and obediently agreed. 

Tang Xing slightly curled up the corners of his lips and reached out his hand to stroke Shi Shuiyue’s hair as he said, “Go.”

Shi Shuiyue slowly walked away, but for some reason, she suddenly turned around to look. Tang Xing still maintained the same posture as earlier, and his ardent gaze nearly made Shi Shuiyue breathless. 

Shi Shuiyue swiftly jumped onto the roof in a panic. She patted her face—it must be because the weather was too hot!

“I didn’t expect someone like you, who claims to eliminate all members of the demon sects, to actually fall in love with a disciple of the demon sect.” Tang Yu was stunned for a long time before he realized it. How could he not understand? The way that Tang Xing looked at her was the same as all those years ago…

A hint of gentleness flashed through Tang Xing’s eyes and he said in a gentle voice, “She’s different.”

Tang Yu sneered in disdain and said, “Different? As long as she is part of the demon sect, then you can’t be with her!” Just like him…

In face of Tang Yu’s mockery, Tang Xing just looked at him faintly, “I’m not you, so I won’t put myself in that situation.”

Tang Yu snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve in anger, “Anyway, don’t interfere in this matter, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite!”

There was no way that Tang Xing would be threatened by him, so he said, “I’m definitely going to interfere in this matter, Younger Uncle.”

Shi Shuiyue quietly listened to the entire conversation, and couldn’t help but ridicule in her heart that the plot was finally back on track. 

Tang Yu was the younger brother of the head of the Tang Family. He was exceptionally talented, but he had no interest in the matters of the clan. Thus, he lived a carefree, wandering lifestyle. 

As for the reason he was mentioned in the novel, it was naturally to help the male protagonist gain experience ah!

Tang Yu fell in love with a woman, but that woman was a member of the demon sect. So how could anyone in the Tang Family agree to their relationship?

However, Tang Yu insisted on being with her. The Tang Family, who was committed to destroying the demon sects, believed that Tang Yu was bewitched by that demoness, and sent death soldiers to kill her. 

But none of them succeeded. In the end, that woman disappeared and Tang Yu never returned to the Tang Family again.

After all, Tang Yu wasn’t an important character. He was only used at the beginning as a stepping stone for the male protagonist to gain experience, so there was naturally no need for any unnecessary details about him. 

As for the reason that Tang Yu was a cannon fodder…it seemed to be because…

Clank!

Dang!

In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought for over ten rounds. 

“Sect Master!” Two familiar voices suddenly sounded. Shi Shuiyue turned around and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Muqing, Mulan, why are you guys here?”

Muqing rolled her eyes and said, “Sect Elder Fei Di was afraid that you will get lost!”

“I…”

“Sect Master, you must be hungry—I brought osmanthus cakes!” The osmanthus cakes that Mulan handed over immediately attracted Shi Shuiyue’s attention. She didn’t care about rebuting anymore and picked up a piece of cake to eat.

Mulan unobtrusively raised her eyebrows at Muqing—quickly thank me!

Muqing looked up at the sky—the weather was quite nice today ah.

“Ling—Ling’er!!!” Tang Yu seemed to have seen something and suddenly stopped fighting. Tang Xing couldn’t hold back his attack and slashed his sleeve with his blade, but Tang Yu paid no attention to it. He threw his weapon and ran towards the direction of Shi Shuiyue.

“No, you’re not Ling’er. Ling’er is already dead!” Tang Yu suddenly paused, and as if something connected in his mind, he stuttered with widened eyes, “You—you’re Ling’er’s child?!”

Muqing was totally shocked. She followed Tang Yu’s line of sight and looked over at Mulan, who was still confused about the situation. 

Shi Shuiyue quietly swallowed a mouthful of osmanthus cake. She seemed to have finally understood now.

No wonder she had always thought that Tang Yu looked familiar—it turned out that he was Mulan’s father.

Mulan: “…” Uh?

Tang Xing: “…” What just happened?

Muqing: “…” She just discovered something amazing ah.

Shi Shuiyue: “…” She should just continue eating while they talk…uh-huh.

Tang Yu: “!!!” She looks so much like Ling’er—she must be Ling’er’s child!
