Zhang Chulan leaned closer, lowered his voice, and boasted with a proud expression.
"My master's cultivation is so profound, his skill is beyond compare! Any tricks to preserve youth are child's play! Time is just a decoration for him!"
Zhang Tianyi rolled her eyes as she listened from the side.
"Grandson, that's enough. You're making me a little embarrassed."
He looked at Xu Xin and said lazily, "Don't worry about what I look like. Anyway, according to seniority, you can call me senior brother like Huaiyi did. You won't lose out."
Xu Xin swallowed hard, and it took him a while to finally accept this absurd reality.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes and immediately got to the point.
He turned his head and looked at Tang Miaoxing, his playful smile fading slightly.
"Master Tang, since we've come this far, let's speak frankly."
"I came here today to ask Senior Xu about those old grievances of my grandfather."
Zhang Chulan shrugged and threw out a bargaining chip that surprised everyone:
"You kept Senior Xu locked up here to teach alchemy simply because you were afraid that his identity as one of the Thirty-Six Thieves would be exposed and cause trouble for the company."
"This is easy to handle!"
Zhang Chulan patted his chest.
"Thirty-six thieves are ancient history from over seventy years ago. Nowadays, companies value stability."
"As long as the Tang Clan is willing to vouch for him, I'll put in a good word with Chairman Zhao and get him a legal identity so he can see the light of day again. Absolutely no problem!"
At this point, Zhang Chulan deliberately glanced at Zhang Tianyi and raised his voice.
"Even if we take a step back and assume that the old fogies in the company disagree,..."
"But my advisor is here to keep things in check! It's just a matter of a word from my advisor, who would dare to say no?"
He spoke with such confidence that he had truly mastered the art of borrowing someone else's power.
All eyes in the room immediately turned to Zhang Tianyi.
Bringing back a remnant of the Jia Shen clan, despised by all the righteous sects in the world, to the light of day is no joke.
Zhang Tianyi had initially felt that the cave was a bit stuffy.
Receiving Zhang Chulan's pleading look, he helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Although he wasn't interested in whether the old man Xu Xin was alive or dead.
But since my eldest grandson needs to investigate something, it won't take much effort to help him out.
then.
Zhang Tianyi yawned slowly and nodded slightly.
"Hmm, it's no big deal. I'll just send Xiao Zhao a WeChat message later."
With Zhang Tianyi's light and casual promise.
Tang Miaoxing's eyes lit up instantly!
This is exactly what he's been waiting for!
With the endorsement of the Celestial Master's Mansion, this hot potato of Xu Xin can finally be taken out openly!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Tang Miaoxing said "good" three times in a row, her hands trembling with excitement.
He suddenly turned around, facing all the Tang Clan disciples present, as well as Zhang Wang and Tang Qiushan.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Miaoxing's voice echoed throughout the cave, her tone carrying an unyielding resolve.
"Since True Person Tian Shu is willing to step forward as guarantor, then I, Tang Miaoxing, hereby announce something before all the ancestral masters!"
He strode over to Xu Xin, grabbed Xu Xin's arm, and pulled the skinny old man up.
"Starting today!"
"Xu Xin is no longer a sinner of my Tang Clan!"
"He will succeed me as the sixty-eighth leader of the Tang Clan in Sichuan!!!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, all the Tang Clan disciples were dumbfounded, their minds buzzing.
"Senior brother!! Are you crazy?!"
Zhang Wang was the first to jump out.
His face turned bright red, and his finger pointing at Tang Miaoxing was trembling:
"You're appointing a remnant of the Jia Shen era as sect leader?! Do you intend to destroy the century-old foundation of our Tang Clan?!"
"I absolutely disagree!!!"
Chapter 199 Pill Devouring? The Most Extraordinary Poison in the World!
"I absolutely disagree!!!"
Zhang Wang's roar echoed throughout the cave, causing the overhead lights to sway twice.
This hot-tempered director of the political education department was like a tiger whose bottom line had been crossed.
He rushed to Tang Miaoxing in a few steps, his finger almost poking the other's nose.
"Senior brother! Are you getting old? Is your mind becoming senile too?!"
Zhang Wang's chest heaved violently as he pointed at the gaunt Xu Xin through gritted teeth:
"What is his identity? One of the Thirty-Six Thieves! A remnant of the Jia Shen Incident! Even if the Celestial Master's Mansion vouches for him today and clears his name, the fact that he betrayed his sect back then is undeniable!"
"Let a traitor sit in the top position of the Tang Clan? How can our ancestors in the afterlife rest in peace?!"
Faced with Zhang Wang's barrage of questions, Tang Miaoxing did not retort as she usually would.
He simply stood there quietly, his hands behind his back.
"Junior brother."
Tang Miaoxing spoke slowly, her voice not loud, but it carried a weight that struck straight to the heart.
"You say he's not fit to be the sect leader... then let me ask you, am I?"
Zhang Wang was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about? You've been the sect leader for so many years, who in the Tang Clan doesn't respect you?"
"Submit to me?"
Tang Miaoxing suddenly laughed, a somewhat bleak laugh, even carrying an undisguised self-mockery.
"Yes, everyone respects me. I managed the Tang Sect very well, I built a new campus, and I helped the Tang Sect gain a firm foothold in the world of supernatural beings."
"But... so what?"
Tang Miaoxing suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping sharply over all the Tang Clan elites present, dressed in white and in seclusion.
Finally, his gaze was fixed on Xu Xin.
"What is the foundation upon which our Tang Clan finds its place and thrives?"
"It's poison! It's a hidden weapon! It's that ultimate skill that would make even a god bleed!"
Tang Miaoxing patted his chest, his voice suddenly rising:
"But what about me?! I, the dignified head of the Tang Clan, have spent most of my life here, yet I haven't even mastered the most core skill of my own clan!"
"I don't know how to use the Pill Devouring Technique!!"
These four words were like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of all Tang Clan disciples.
"What kind of sect leader is one who can't use alchemy?!"
Tang Miaoxing's eyes were a little red, a kind of obsession and resentment buried deep in her heart for decades.
"Do you know how intimidated I am every time I go out to a meeting and face those old guys who have mastered their own family's core skills?"
"The Tang Clan leader doesn't know how to use alchemy... In other people's eyes, that's a huge joke!"
"Senior brother! You've completely lost your mind!"
Zhang Wang was so angry that he jumped up and down, interrupting Tang Miaoxing's self-pity.
"Dan Shi? Is Dan Shi really that important?!"
Zhang Wang pointed outside, his tone extremely disdainful:
"You keep saying that Dan Shi is the best in the world, but what's the result?!"
"Back then, Zhang Huaiyi stormed into our Tang Clan all by himself in the middle of the night! We even dispatched Dan Shi to deal with him!"
"And what happened?! They just walked away! The Dan Shi (a type of medicinal pill) didn't even activate on him! It failed!"
Zhang Wang became increasingly agitated as he spoke:
"You're willing to risk your life for something that can't even be broken by the 'Qi Body Source Flow'? You dare to joke about the foundation of the Tang Clan?!"
Upon hearing "invalid," Zhang Chulan, who had been standing by watching the show, suddenly perked up his ears.
Zhang Tianyi also stopped chewing the apple and squinted her eyes slightly.
However, Zhang Wang's rebuttal was met with resistance.
Tang Miaoxing was not hurt at all; instead, his old eyes burned even more intensely, even to the point of madness!
"Out of service?!"
Tang Miaoxing felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He took a step forward and went straight for Zhang Wang.
"Who told you that the Pill Devouring Technique has failed?!"
Zhang Wang was taken aback: "Zhang Huaiyi did indeed leave alive back then! Everyone in the world knows that!"
"That's because the whole world is blind!"
Tang Miaoxing's breathing became rapid, and the fervor in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
