The migration of a clan was always accompanied by endless complexities, so the support of the clan was particularly important.

Warriors, servants, and the arrangement of domestic workers were managed by the housekeeper, and naturally needs not be mentioned, the dismantling and entrusting of businesses under one’s name, and the preparation of various materials were also arduous tasks.

For Xu Changge, what he feared most was this summon failing, because that would make it very difficult for the lineage of the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint to establish themselves in Ying City.

After all, it was originally Xu Changfeng who used the Divine Sword Decree to include the Tang Clan lineage into the ancestral temple; before this, the Xu Clan had never engaged in legitimizing the act of a young lady eloping, let alone placing the object of the elopement within the ranks of their kin.

But this wasn’t the sole reason for the Sword Pavilion’s summons of the Tang Clan of Longxi, more importantly, Tang Luo and Tang Xing, the two brothers, were too extraordinarily talented.

Even Xihesa Holy Land, accustomed to geniuses, could not find a reason to forsake such prodigies.

Now that this family could obediently return with him, merely giving some preparation time was something he still could manage.

“With the mansion so busy, why haven’t I seen my great-nephew?”

As Xu Shuhui and he wandered around the Sect Head’s mansion, watching his sister issue orders like the master of the house, Xu Changge also voiced his biggest doubt.

Apart from meeting a few days ago in the main hall, he hadn’t seen Tang Luo since then and thus asked Xu Shuhui, “Does Tang Luo have objections to returning to the Xu Clan?”

After all, being his beloved nephew and a junior he highly valued, Xu Changge consciously adopted Tang Luo’s perspective. Without waiting for Xu Shuhui to answer, he continued, “It’s understandable in this situation. With the great battle of the Longxi Alliance on the horizon, and him being such a crucial force, pulling back to Yuanzhou now is no different from deserting, it’s normal for him to be displeased.”

“Big brother, Luo Er wouldn’t think that way.”

Xu Shuhui hurriedly spoke out to defend her eldest son.

“Little sister, there’s no need to explain, I can understand,”

Sighing, Xu Changge said wearily, “Actually, the pressure here in Ying City is indeed not small. Beast Taming Sect has spread the news of the Tang Clan everywhere, I don’t know how many holy land clans associated with the Xu Clan have sent inquisitive challenges. There are even factions proposing that the Xu Clan deploy troops to clean up their house.”

Listening to these words, Xu Shuhui suddenly felt tense. As a lady born in Yuanzhou, she naturally knew that the Longxi Alliance, whether against the Divine Sword, the valiant cavalry, or Falling Star Army, would be crushed overwhelmingly, without exception.

Those suggesting the Xu Clan clean up their own house were essentially demanding thorough eradication!

“Such manipulative proposals, the Sword Master naturally wouldn’t agree and has rejected them all.”

Xu Changge scoffed, “To put it bluntly, some people are just petty. Unable to produce their own prodigies, they cannot bear to see others succeed, wishing only to destroy! Rest assured, little sister, as long as you follow the Sword Pavilion’s decree back to Yuanzhou, the matter about severing ties can still be worked out.”

“Worked… worked out?”

Xu Shuhui was puzzled.

“Kinship is something fused into our bones; even if they’re utterly wicked, it cannot be severed just like that.”

Xu Changge explained, “Once you return to Yuanzhou, the Xu Clan will have given an explanation to the whole world. Regarding the command to sever ties with the Tang Clan, just drag it out and not accept it. That way, if the Tang Clan’s battle situation really becomes tight, your husband and great-nephew can still try to come back, right?”

Xu Shuhui was greatly shocked by her brother’s words. Feeling that her own elopement was already rebelliously outrageous, she had never imagined hearing such explosive thoughts from her own brother. She stood stunned, her eyes wide as if asking, “Is that even possible?”

Of course, it was!

Past his fifties, Xu Changge was amused by Xu Shuhui’s expression, and with a twinkle in his eye, he cunningly said, “Legal principles do not overshadow human feelings. Even holy lands cannot force one to sever blood relations. Besides, there’s another benefit to the great-nephew returning to Yuanzhou this time.”

“Benefit?”

“Remember the marriage proposal returned by Yuanzhou?”

Xu Changge said, “The daughter of Mysterious Moon Sword Supreme did something quite unkind, but Ying City still has many sensible young ladies. Once the great-nephew arrives in Yuanzhou, he will surely find a wife and concubines to his heart’s content!”

“Big brother… That might be up for debate.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuhui felt overwhelmed.

The last time they arranged a marriage for Tang Luo, her son was so scared he ran away for years.

It took a lot for her to bring home someone he cared for, although still in a phase too secret to announce, and she didn’t want to complicate matters further.

But Xu Changge seemed oblivious to Xu Shuhui’s tactful refusal and instead thumped his chest loudly, “Rest assured, little sister. This time your brother will handle it personally, and I won’t allow the great-nephew to suffer the slightest grievance!”

Lanshan City, Tianpeng Mansion

“Master, you’ve finally woken up!”

“Doctor, doctor, please come quickly!”

Following the housekeeper’s emotionally charged cry, and a flurry of frantic scrambling, Tang Qingyi saw the awakened Tang Peng.

After carefully checking every meridian in Tang Peng’s body with Spiritual Power, Tang Qingyi told Tang Peng’s biological mother and the anxiously waiting Xiao Jirou and Tang Zheng, “Qingyi has thoroughly checked. The residual poison in Brother Peng’s body has been cleaned, and his body and meridians are not severely harmed. He should be able to get out of bed and walk in no more than two days.”

“Prescribe another medicine to restore Primary Qi. When decocting, boil nine bowls down to one, take one dose daily, and he should be completely recovered in no more than seven days!”

The esteemed wife of the alliance leader, dignified past her fifties, was filled with worry at the moment, and the clinging Xiao Jirou, clutching her anxious heart, listened tentatively to the medical advice until she heard the words indicating a full recovery and couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.
