Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Gluttonous Banquet

Tang Chuxia was choked by Third Grandpa’s earth-shattering remarks.

What did he mean by one not being enough and suggesting two more?

Was she that kind of person?

"Amazing! Little Sister Tang, truly eye-opening!"

After Gu Beihuai finished speaking word by word, Tang Chuxia knew she was done for, this man was temporarily unattainable.

Getting to sleep was out of the question now, and she might even make an enemy.

She rubbed her face, "You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Since she couldn’t refute him, she decided not to try at all!

Tang Chuxia’s response made Gu Beihuai’s face fall like that of a disappointed donkey.

But who cared!

Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter, especially Tang Jianjun, "Are you jealous, boy? You can’t find a wife yourself, so you begrudge your little sister some affection?"

Tang Chuxia turned her head, selectively deaf.

Madam Tang tapped him and told him to speak nicely.

With so many family members around, it wasn’t noisy, they all enjoyed watching the younger generation squabble and banter.

As evening fell and the elders stood up, Tang Chuxia knew it was time, and told Madam Tang she would go out to see the grandpas off. Madam Tang didn’t think much of it, the day’s matchmaking efforts had been draining, so she went back inside without further questions.

And since the elder sister-in-law was with licorice, Tang Chuxia wasn’t worried.

Tang Jianjun and Tang Jianbing sensed something was amiss and wanted to follow, but were blocked by a single sentence from Third Grandpa.

"It’s not appropriate for you to go!"

The brothers were about to argue, but Tang Chuxia whispered to them, "Lin Qingchen and Gu Beihuai will be with us!"

Though the brothers still had reservations about the little Taoist, seeing that Gu Beihuai was also going, they felt relieved.

"We’ll wait at home. If you’re not back by ten, we’ll come looking for you!"

Tang Chuxia replied, "If I’m not back by ten, you go to the Yang Family to find Yang Chao, tell him to catch Tang Wanqiu."

Although the brothers didn’t quite understand why, they didn’t say anything and expressed their acknowledgement.

Tang Chuxia followed the four elders, flanked by Gu Beihuai and Lin Qingchen.

"Are you alright?"

Lin Qingchen finally had the chance to speak to Tang Chuxia, obviously concerned that his senior master’s comments had frightened her.

Tang Chuxia waved her hands repeatedly, "I’m fine; it’s you, it’s not that you’re not good enough, but I may not have the confidence to be your match!"

Lin Qingchen patted her on the head, "You are very good, don’t talk like that!"

Gu Beihuai’s murderous gaze swept over, but Lin Qingchen wasn’t afraid, and Tang Chuxia pretended not to see.

Mainly because she couldn’t properly explain.

They finally arrived at the designated place, a very impressive courtyard, which they probably wouldn’t have found without the elders leading the way.

Standing at the entrance were Tang Wanqiu and a young man.

The two of them stood there as if to greet them.

Tang Chuxia saw Tang Wanqiu’s face was still swollen, guessing her own strike had been heavy, not allowing her sister to recover.

Third Grandpa walked in the forefront, a glance from him turning Tang Wanqiu’s face deathly pale, yet she obediently stepped aside, the door behind her was opened from the inside.

The old man, who had appeared in Tang Chuxia’s dreams, walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Third Brother!"

The uncle respectfully greeted Third Grandpa, only to be met with a cold snort from Third Grandpa, "You’ve been kicked out of the family, there’s no need to call me Third Brother!"

The uncle persisted in addressing him as Third Brother, but Third Grandpa couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore.

"Did Third Brother come for that girl?"

Third Grandpa sneered, "What? Didn’t you set this all up just to get us to come?"

Uncle did not deny it, he just nodded his head upon seeing the old Taoist, the old monk, and Elder Huang, then immediately led the way.

Since Uncle was stepping in, Tang Wanqiu should not have any issues, yet she still followed closely at Tang Chuxia’s side.

"Sister, make sure you don’t cry later!"

Tang Wanqiu’s annoying demeanor surfaced again. Tang Chuxia, remembering the content of the invitation, knew she could no longer lay a hand on her. Yet, not teaching Tang Wanqiu a lesson felt uncomfortable.

"Uh-huh, we’ll see who ends up crying!"

She spoke and walked off.

Tang Wanqiu giggled incessantly.

The young man had been sizing up Tang Chuxia all this while, luckily keeping his distance.

Once they entered the courtyard, Uncle led them to a hall filled with various items. The four elders scanned the room—except for Elder Huang, the others looked particularly perturbed!

Especially Third Grandpa, who lifted his foot and kicked Uncle.

"How dare you!"

Uncle didn’t dodge, took the kick, and nearly stumbled.

But, he didn’t actually fall, only stumbled back a few steps.

Tang Chuxia, of course, noticed the situation in the hall, which was strikingly similar to her dream, especially the jade in the center.

She watched Tang Wanqiu make a throat-slitting and tongue-sticking-out gesture at her.

Then Tang Chuxia realized that it wasn’t just a dream, but something that had truly happened.

"Third Brother, I’ve told you, I have a way!" Uncle’s eyes were filled with madness, his gaze towards Tang Chuxia was one of absolute determination.

Just as Uncle couldn’t resist reaching out to grab Tang Chuxia, Gu Beihuai drew a weapon from his waist and pressed it against Uncle’s forehead.

Third Grandpa gestured for Gu Beihuai to let go, "It’s useless on him!"

Gu Beihuai couldn’t understand why he would say so, but Third Grandpa was a mysterious consultant invited by Tianji, and he really had to cooperate.

The old Taoist swung his duster; the remaining few strands of fur swept over the jade.

"I never thought someone would actually use such a method. It’s far too contrary to the natural order!"

The old monk nodded along, "Primarily, it’s simply immoral!"

Elder Huang whispered to Tang Chuxia, "Do you know what they are after?"

Tang Chuxia whispered back, "They want the Divine Power within me."

Elder Huang gave her a thumbs-up, "Too bad you’re not entirely right. Your Divine Power comes from your bloodline. What he wants is not just the Divine Power but the very source of it!"

Tang Chuxia’s eyes widened in shock.

"You should have guessed, this is a gluttonous banquet. Yet you still naively came here!"

After Elder Huang said that, Tang Chuxia shuddered.

She never imagined Uncle could be so heartless, disregarding the four elders and intending to directly harm her.

"There are quite a few people lurking around, but remember not to be afraid later. The little Taoist should be able to protect you."

Tang Chuxia’s gaze shifted to Gu Beihuai.

Lin Qingchen had real skills, and even if Gu Beihuai was formidable, he was still ordinary. What could he do?

Elder Huang let out a chuckle, "Don’t worry about that kid. He’s much more capable than you think."

Tang Chuxia still wasn’t convinced; how powerful could a man she had easily overpowered be?

As they whispered among themselves, Uncle let out a shout and many people appeared from all around the courtyard, encircling them.

Lin Qingchen was already by her side, telling her not to be afraid.

But Tang Chuxia’s gaze fell on Tang Wanqiu.

"What about the two of them? They won’t be getting a share of the spoils, will they?"

Just as Tang Chuxia voiced her suspicions, she saw Tang Wanqiu being kicked into the center by the young man beside her.

Uncle’s voice also rose: "Appetizers are always necessary!"
