One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Chapter 188 This is a true fan from across provinces!

Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu, standing at the back, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Chulan's eye twitched, and he lowered his voice to say to Wang Zhenqiu:

"Brother Qiu, didn't you say that the people of the Tang Clan are like hedgehogs, pricking anyone they encounter? Why does this look like a wedding procession?"

Wang Zhenqiu was also a little confused, muttering to himself while chewing on his lollipop stick:

"This is bizarre. When I came here before, they would have loved to stab me into a sieve with hidden weapons. This is incredibly shameless."

"Get up, everyone. There's no need for such a big fuss."

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand, breaking the silence with a casual tone.

Tang Miaoxing then straightened up.

The old man, known in the martial arts world for his ruthlessness and protectiveness, was staring intently at Zhang Tianyi.

That look in his eyes was neither defensive nor probing.

Instead, it seemed to exude an undisguised enthusiasm and excitement.

"Master Tang, your actions are making me a little confused," Zhang Tianyi said, raising an eyebrow half-jokingly.

Tang Miaoxing laughed heartily.

He glanced back at the young disciples behind him, who also looked puzzled.

The younger generation, including Tang Wenlong and Tao Tao, had followed suit and bowed respectfully, but they were clearly still confused.

The seniority of the Celestial Master's Mansion is indeed high.

But this is the territory of the Tang Clan of Sichuan!

When have the sect leader and his advisors ever been so humble towards an outsider?

Tang Miaoxing noticed the young man's confusion, so he deliberately cleared his throat and made his voice echo loudly in front of the old campus gate.

"Master, you might think this is just us from the Tang Clan being polite."

"But you're wrong. The bow we old folks are giving today comes from the bottom of our hearts!"

Tang Miaoxing took a step forward, her expression becoming exceptionally solemn.

"You kids, all you know is how to practice your skills. You have no idea what a truly ruthless person in this world is like."

He pointed at Zhang Tianyi and shouted to the Tang Clan disciples behind him:

"More than seventy years ago, our Tang Clan predecessors took on a life-or-death mission: to assassinate that Japanese ninja leader!"

"In that battle, our Tang Clan sent out all its elite troops. But the enemy outnumbered us and used insidious methods."

"We suffered heavy casualties; several of our top fighters perished there."

As Tang Miaoxing spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, and Zhang Wang and Tang Qiushan beside her also silently lowered their heads.

"During that period, the morale of the entire Tang Clan plummeted. Everyone was doubting whether the battle could continue."

"But!"

Tang Miaoxing suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Zhang Tianyi:

"Right at that most desperate moment!"

"A message has come from North China!"

"A young Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion single-handedly stormed through the Japanese Bureau of Onmyōdō!"

"One man, two knives, and a spell of thunder! He tore those arrogant Onmyoji and those little devils to shreds!"

boom!

The young disciples of the Tang Clan were all shocked when they heard this.

Their eyes all fixed on Zhang Tianyi.

One person single-handedly slaughtered their way through the Onmyoji Bureau?!

Tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands?!

This is a plot that even anti-Japanese war dramas wouldn't dare to film!

Tang Miaoxing became more and more agitated as she spoke, and even waved her fist:

"Do you know what Tang Bingwen, the sect leader at the time, said when he heard this news?"

"The old sect leader jumped onto the command platform and pointed at the people below, shouting: 'The Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion can turn Beiping upside down by themselves! Does our Tang Clan not even have the strength to kill a Bihe Ren?!'"

"It was that amazing feat of the real person that completely ignited the fighting spirit of us Tang Clan members!"

"From then on, the old sect leader would talk about the real person's deeds every day to inspire our Tang Clan disciples!"

Tang Miaoxing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhang Tianyi once more, his tone sincere.

"Master! Although you never had any dealings with our Tang Clan back then."

"But in the hearts of our generation of Tang Clan members, you are a banner! A role model!"

"Therefore, you are well-deserving of this bow today!"

After listening to this stirring historical account...

The young disciples of the Tang Clan all changed their gaze towards Zhang Tianyi.

All previous doubts vanished, replaced by boundless awe and fervor!

This is practically a living god of war!

He was the super idol who gave the Tang Clan a pep talk back then!

Zhang Tianyi standing opposite.

Listening to Tang Miaoxing's passionate and effusive praise.

On the surface, he remained completely calm, displaying the composed demeanor of a wise and enlightened person.

But in his heart, he was already overjoyed.

"Wow, there's an unexpected bonus?"

"Back then, you could just casually cause a scene and actually gain a bunch of loyal fans from across the province in Sichuan?"

Zhang Tianyi was secretly delighted, but she still had to put on a convincing act.

He flicked his sleeve lightly and raised his chin slightly.

He spoke in a calm tone, as if he had seen through the world's illusions and was indifferent to fame and fortune:

"Master Tang, you're exaggerating."

"A little bit of skill is nothing but empty fame."

Zhang Tianyi looked at the bamboo forest in the distance and sighed softly.

"What happened back then is not worth mentioning."

"It's just that I was young and impetuous, full of energy. I couldn't stand those bastards running wild on our territory, so I just went over and... took care of them."

"I don't deserve such high praise."

"..."

Zhang Chulan, who was following behind, almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

He mentally gave his second advisor a huge thumbs up:

Your skill in serving this cup is truly unique and unparalleled!

This is called insignificant?

This is absolutely outrageous! It's enough to break the knees of everyone in the Tang Clan!

As expected, the Tang Clan members listened.

Their reverence for this Celestial Pivot Immortal was like a surging river, never-ending.

Look at their magnanimity!

They slaughtered someone's stronghold and then casually said, "I cleaned it up on the side!"

"Your character is truly noble and virtuous; I admire you greatly!"

Tang Miaoxing stepped aside and greeted them warmly:

"It's windy outside, please move to the conference room! Let's sit down, have some hot tea, and chat!"

……

In the reception conference room of the old campus of Tangmen.

The decor is simple and rustic, with several large solid wood armchairs arranged neatly.

Zhang Tianyi was invited to the most prestigious guest seat.

Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and Tang Qiushan, the three highest-ranking members of the Tang Clan, sat opposite the guests.

Several young disciples quickly served steaming hot covered bowls of tea.

"Master, try some of our Sichuan Zhuyeqing tea, the newest tea harvested this year," Tang Qiushan said with a smile.

Zhang Tianyi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded: "Not bad, the aroma is wonderful. It seems the soil here is very nourishing."

After a series of meaningless small talk and pleasantries.

The atmosphere inside gradually relaxed.

Tang Miaoxing put down her teacup, looked at Zhang Tianyi, and finally steered the conversation back on track.

“Master, your esteemed presence here today is certainly not just for a cup of tea in our remote and impoverished village.”

Tang Miaoxing is straightforward and doesn't like beating around the bush.

"If there's anything we Tang Clan can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."

Zhang Tianyi picked up the teacup lid and skimmed off the floating leaves.

He didn't speak himself, but instead gave Zhang Chulan, who was standing behind him, a wink.
