Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 53 Dilemma

Hearing the gatekeeper muttering Xiao's name, Tang San instantly flew into a rage. He hated Xiao the most right now, and yet the other party dared to whisper "Three-Eyed Five Manifestations Immortal Xiao" in his ear.

Do you think he'll save you?

"He's still in the Killing City! He'll never get out! That bastard can't save you!"

"No, not only did he not save you, he's trying to kill you!"

Tang San said with a ferocious expression.

Then he raised his right hand, the mechanical hand, the glove torn by the blade inside.

"Go to hell!" Tang San sneered and slashed at the guard's neck.

No one around dared to stop him; they just stared blankly as Tang San unleashed his power.

The security guard was nearly scared to death, his eyes wide as he stared blankly at the rapidly approaching mechanical arm.

Just as he was about to hit the guard's neck, another arm suddenly appeared, firmly grabbing Tang San's wrist and preventing him from slitting the guard's throat.

"Bang……!!!"

A muffled thud.

Tang San looked on in astonishment, staring incredulously at the suddenly appearing Xiao.

He was certain that Xiao was definitely not in the crowd just now.

Logically speaking, he should still be in the Killing City, so how could he have come out now?

The next instant, Tang Hao behind him suddenly made a move and threw a punch at Xiao.

Xiao immediately blocked with both hands and released Tang San.

"boom……!!!"

With a muffled thud, the two men each took several steps back.

Tang Hao's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Xiao. He was certain that Xiao was now even stronger than he had been in the City of Slaughter.

Xiao was able to overwhelm him back then because of his invincible fighting skills, but he was not as good as him in terms of actual power. But now the two are almost evenly matched.

Without saying a word, Tang Hao grabbed Tang San's shoulder and fled like a large bird.

Xiao watched their retreating figures but did not chase after them.

Tang Hao and his son only had personal grudges against him; they hadn't crossed his bottom line yet.

Of course, if he wanted to catch up, he could. He was known for his speed, and Tang Hao couldn't escape him.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Master Xiao..."

The gatekeeper knelt on the ground, his face pale, and kowtowed to Xiao.

If Xiao hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have lost his life.

The people standing at the entrance of Yuexuan were all wealthy and powerful, and they looked at Xiao with different expressions.

Some were afraid, some were nervous, and none dared to step forward easily.

Just then, a pleasant voice came from the stairs.

"Go get him treated quickly, if you can hurry, maybe we can still reattach his hand."

Tang Yuehua descended the stairs gracefully and saw Xiao. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly concealed it.

She took Xiao's wrist and said calmly, "Alright, this is my brother. Don't stand here anymore, come upstairs with me..."

It took the group a while to come to their senses, and they all looked at Xiao's back with incredibly envious eyes.

Tang Yuehua said Xiao was her younger brother, but they weren't stupid, so how could they possibly believe her?

Xiao being able to go upstairs with Tang Yuehua is something they've always dreamed of; even Emperor Xueye can only have that wish in his dreams.

……

upstairs.

Tang Yuehua instructed her maid, Lan'er, to prepare almond tofu. Upon hearing this, Xiao, who had originally intended to leave, stayed. Tang Yuehua noticed the change in Xiao's expression and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

She had Xiao sit opposite her, and said helplessly:

"You're such a worry! How could you kill so many nobles?"

Xiao calmly said, "They all deserve to die."

Tang Yuehua shook her head helplessly. She wanted to say something, such as being more tactful and roundabout, so as not to leave any evidence, but she also knew that if she did that, she wouldn't be Xiao.

Tang Yuehua rested her chin on her hand; her exquisite face was as white as the moon.

She looked Xiao up and down, sighed softly, and said, "I'm relieved to see you're alright. You're always so elusive; it's rare for me to spend some quality time with you."

"..." Xiao remained silent, feeling uncomfortable in the face of Tang Yuehua's sudden kindness.

The two had only met a few times, so how did they become so familiar with each other?

Xiao is not human and cannot understand these emotions.

If it were the Emperor, perhaps he could understand this woman's thoughts?

Xiao was lost in thought.

Tang Yuehua continued, "Xiao, it's not safe for you to be out there. I have a place that can provide you with protection. The people there are all upright and honest men, and it's the perfect place for you to stay."

"Um?"

"You may have heard about my background. My surname is Tang, and I come from the Haotian Sect. The Haotian Sect is the head of the three upper sects. There, no one will dare to pursue any crimes you may have committed."

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly, looking into Xiao's eyes, hoping to get a positive answer.

Xiao frowned. Haotian Sect...?

If he remembers correctly, some people have also said that Tang San is from the Haotian Sect.

As for the safety issues Tang Yuehua mentioned, he didn't care at all. At least in Douluo Continent, there shouldn't be anyone who could threaten him.

"No, thank you." Xiao shook his head and refused.

Tang Yuehua sighed, and seeing this, she stopped worrying. After a moment, the maid Lan'er brought over a plate of almond tofu and placed it in Xiao's hands.

Watching Xiao enjoy the almond tofu, Tang Yuehua said, "If you want to eat almond tofu, or if you're bored, you can come to Yuexuan and talk to me. I'd be happy to chat with you."

Xiao hummed in agreement and focused on eating the almond tofu.

……

After finishing the almond tofu, Xiao disappeared quietly without saying a word.

Tang Yuehua sighed softly. She truly pitied Xiao, but unfortunately, he always seemed detached from the world, completely disregarding her good intentions and failing to respond to her expectations.

Just then, two figures suddenly slipped in through the window.

Tang Yuehua immediately turned her head to look, and when she saw one of the faces, she stood up abruptly, trembling all over, overwhelmed with excitement, "Second Brother...?!"

Tang Yuehua threw herself into Tang Hao's arms and cried repeatedly.

"Second brother, what happened to you?"

Tang Hao gently patted Tang Yuehua's shoulder and offered a few words of comfort.

The two hadn't seen each other for decades and had so much to say. Tang San stood aside, looking at his aunt with curiosity.

Half an hour later, Tang Hao finally explained his purpose: he wanted Tang San to study at Yuexuan and wash away his worldly cares.

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San's right hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Little San's hand..."

Tang Hao then explained the reason.

Tang Yuehua covered her mouth, exclaiming incredulously, "How is this possible? It was...it was Xiao who did it?"

Tang Hao and Tang San's expressions immediately changed as they looked at Tang Yuehua.

"Moonflower! You know Xiao?!"

Tang Yuehua hesitated for a moment, looking at Tang Hao's hate-filled face, and said gently, "Second brother, can you... can you stop hating each other and reconcile with Xiao..."

Tang Hao suddenly stood up. "What are you talking about?! He chopped off the mistress's hand!"
