Hearing Cai Ning's voice, Tang Luyi was jolted awake. She turned around and looked at Cai Ning and Yang Cheng with a conflicted look in her eyes.
"You're … here you are." Tang Luyi's voice was trembling as she spoke with a smile.
Cai Ning felt that something was amiss. She walked up to Tang Luyi and grabbed her master's hand. "Master, your hand is so cold. What happened? Please don't scare me when you called me and Yang Cheng here. "
Tang Luyi looked at her most beloved disciple. The concern in Cai Ning's eyes was genuine, and she was touched.
But every time she thought about it, her heart would ache.
Tears welled up in Tang Luyi's eyes as she reached out to caress Cai Ning's cheek. "My child, I'm sorry."
"What do you mean?" Cai Ning was puzzled.
Tang Luyi turned her head to look at Yang Cheng. She walked up to Yang Cheng and stopped about two feet away from him.
Under the shocked gazes of Yang Cheng and Cai Ning, Tang Luyi was on her knees.
"Master?!"
Cai Ning exclaimed.
Yang Chen was also stunned on the spot, forgetting to stop them immediately.
When Yang Cheng regained his composure, he rushed over to pull Tang Luyi up.
"Ah … Ning 'er's Master … Uh … Master Tang, I say … beauty? Big sister? Auntie? Why are you kneeling before me? "Yang Cheng tried to pull Tang Luyi up.
But Tang Luyi refused to budge. She knelt down again, and banged her head on the floor.
"Childe Yang! Please save my daughter! I beg you! Sob … sob … "
Tang Luyi cried out in agony.
"Your daughter?!"
Yang Cheng looked at Cai Ning with a puzzled expression. The woman was equally bewildered.
"Master, how … how did you suddenly have a daughter? I've never heard of this before. "Cai Ning walked up to Tang Luyi to help her up.
But Tang Luyi refused to budge, shaking her head and refusing to get up.
"Ning 'er, don't pull Master. Master should be kneeling to you …"
"Master, no matter what it is, please get up and explain it to me." Cai Ning channeled a surge of Ethereal Force to pull Tang Luyi up.
Tang Luyi looked at her disciple in shock, blinking her teary eyes. "Little Ning, you … you've entered the Demigod Stage?"
Cai Ning nodded. "Yes, I'm close to the final stage of Soul Formation. It's all thanks to my husband's help. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to increase my cultivation in such a short time."
"Good, good …" Tang Luyi smiled. "You have chosen the right person. Master is very happy."
"Master, what's going on? Hurry up and tell me. I … I'm getting anxious." Cai Ning rarely got agitated.
Tang Luyi sighed as she looked at Yang Cheng. "It's a long story. I'll have to start from twenty years ago …"
Tang Luyi's eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions, as if she had been transported back in time.
Twenty years ago, Tang Luyi was still a young lady of the Tang Family Fortress. After mastering the art of "Sky Flower Rain", she thought that she was invincible, and began to challenge the martial arts practitioners of the various martial arts sects.
Some of the martial arts practitioners, seeing that she was a woman, would give in to her. As for the older generation, they would not even bother to entertain her.
In her twenties, Tang Luyi was brimming with confidence, and began to seek out martial arts practitioners from all over Hua Xia.
Until one day, when Tang Luyi was passing by the outskirts of a city in the Central Plains, she came across a robber. Eager to be a heroine, Tang Luyi chased after the robbers. The robbers were so desperate that they pulled out their pistols and opened fire on Tang Luyi.
Tang Luyi was still young at the time, and did not have much experience with firearms. She was shot in the abdomen, and was in grave danger.
Right at that moment, a young police officer descended from the sky and apprehended the group of criminals. He then carried Tang Luyi away from the scene of the crime.
Tang Luyi was in awe of the young police officer's skills. The scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress was a fatal attraction to young girls of that era.
After the incident, Tang Luyi quickly took a liking to the young man named Wang Sheng, and was intrigued by his exquisite martial arts techniques.
Wang Sheng seemed to care for Tang Luyi, and when she was hospitalized, he would often come to visit her.
Tang Luyi slowly came to know that Wang Sheng was an orphan. After enrolling in the police academy, he graduated and became a young police officer.
His martial arts were taught to him by a nameless old man in the orphanage. No one knew where he came from.
Tang Luyi, who had never once thought of romance, quickly got together with Wang Sheng. She did not think too much about Wang Sheng's past, fearing that he would be sad about his orphan background.
The old master of the Tang Fort was disgusted by this relationship, and thought that Wang Sheng's background was suspicious. But for Wang Sheng's sake, Tang Luyi decided to elope with him.
A year later, Tang Luyi and Wang Sheng's daughter was born, named Wang Shu.
At first, Tang Luyi thought that it was all worth it. Looking at her daughter, looking at her husband, she felt that she had the whole world in her hands. Even if she were to be despised by the people of the Tang Fort, she did not care.
However, one night, Wang Sheng suddenly took his infant daughter, Wang Shu, and quietly left … ….
Wang Sheng only left behind a piece of paper and a small pill.
The note read, "The fate of the mortal world has come to an end, the old friend has gone with the wind. I will bestow upon you a low-grade Bodhi Pill to replenish your lost Yin energy. Take care. "
At first, Tang Luyi did not realize what was going on. But when she came to her senses and realized what the Bodhi Pill was, she suddenly remembered that her father had once told her about the hidden family.
At that moment, Tang Luyi felt as if her entire world had crumbled. Her daughter, her husband, they were all just an illusion.
After a year of depression, Tang Luyi finally returned to the Tang Fort. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Tang Fort. She had the support of Tang Dianshan and the other brothers. Furthermore, after her tragic love affair, Tang Luyi's Kung Fu had improved tremendously. No one in the Tang Fort dared to oppose her return.
However, from then on, Tang Luyi would only look at men with cold eyes. Her disgust towards men grew stronger and stronger. Eventually, she decided to live in the bamboo forest, seeking peace and quiet.
Later on, she took Cai Ning as her disciple, and treated her like her own daughter. Although she taught her strictly, she loved her deeply.
…
As he listened to Tang Luyi's story, Yang Cheng rubbed his chin. No wonder Tang Luyi did not like him back then. It was because he had been abandoned by a man from the hidden family.
Back then, at the Tang Fort, Cai Ning had also mentioned Tang Luyi's tragic love affair. Little did he know that it involved the hidden family. No wonder she had a strange look on her face when she mentioned the hidden family.
This was similar to Mother Wang, but Mother Wang was even more pitiful, for she had no idea who Sorrowless was.
Perhaps it was because Tang Luyi was a martial arts practitioner, and came from an ancient martial arts family, that the man named Wang Sheng had left behind some information. After all, Mother Wang would not be able to comprehend the information even if Mother Wang did not.
As for the Bodhi Dan, it was not that precious to a member of a hidden family.
"Teacher, that's not right. If that man was from a hidden family, aren't there only the Luo, Xiao, and Ning families? How could his surname be Wang? Could he be an anonymous person? "Cai Ning asked suspiciously.
Tang Luyi wiped away her tears and nodded. "My father once told me that most of the hidden families would change their names and move about in the secular world. However, that was not the case. Generally speaking, although there were only three hidden clans, there were actually more than three.
However, as time passed, some of the smaller clans attached themselves to the three great clans as vassal clans. After all, every clan has their own strength, and none of the three great clans would dare to swallow them all up. "
"It doesn't matter if it's a real name or not. I just want to know what happened to your daughter." Yang Cheng asked.
Upon hearing the word 'daughter', Tang Luyi's face contorted into a pained expression. She took out a green jade pendant from her bosom, on which was a lifelike carving of a pear blossom.
"Last night, someone threw this pear blossom jade pendant, along with a piece of paper, into my room." Tang Luyi placed the jade pendant in front of Yang Cheng. "This is the jade pendant that I gave to my Little Shu. I've carried it with me since she was a child. It's a top-grade Kunlun jade, I would never mistake it for someone else."
Then, Tang Luyi took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it over to Yang Cheng.
Yang Chen took the note and looked at it intently. His brows furrowed and a hint of suspicion flashed across his face.
