Martial Arts Master in the City

The duel between Ye Xiao and Tang Heng went uninterrupted, and not a single patrolling guard appeared around, as if the Tang family had no one left.

In fact, as a large family, there were many people, many servants, and even more guards within the Tang family.

But before this, there were people here; at the very least, guard patrols were guaranteed. The reason for their absence now was, of course, due to the order of one person.

This person was Tang Hongde!

Tang Hongde was observing the duel between Ye Xiao and Tang Heng very clearly.

Tang Heng was indeed someone who enjoyed sparring with others, but he wouldn't spar with just anyone casually, proving that he had received Tang Hongde's order!

Initially, Tang Hongde's intention was simple: to give Ye Xiao a show of force, to let him understand how high the sky was, how deep the earth was, and how profound the waters were!

Tang Heng's strength had already reached the peak of the Xuan Rank. At twenty-eight years old, reaching the peak of the Xuan Rank was definitely commendable. After all, becoming a peak Xuan Rank martial artist at twenty-eight meant there was great hope of breaking through to the Earth Rank in the future.

Therefore, sending Tang Heng to test was something Tang Hongde thought was more than adequate.

However, Tang Hongde was somewhat surprised, or rather greatly surprised, because he didn't expect Tang Heng to lose.

When he sent Tang Heng to duel with Ye Xiao, he even specifically instructed Tang Heng to be careful not to overdo it with Ye Xiao.

But now, the situation was that Tang Heng lost!

"Tang Heng actually lost!" At this moment, a man of about thirty-five with a mustache, staying at Tang Hongde's residence, was so shocked at Tang Heng losing to Ye Xiao that he couldn't help but exclaim.

"How could his strength have improved so quickly!" Tang Hongde was also very surprised at this moment.

"Clan Leader, didn't you say that this young man named Ye Xiao's strength was supposed to be mid to late Xuan Rank? Tang Heng is peak Xuan Rank and possesses excellent martial arts."

Tang Hongde glanced at the man in white who was speaking but didn't reply immediately. Instead, he said, "You all leave now."

Once they heard Tang Hongde's words, everyone immediately stopped talking, and although somewhat reluctant, they left.

Tang Hongde stood with his hands folded behind his back in front of the glass on the second floor. This special-made glass allowed only those inside to see out, but not those outside to see in.

At this moment, Tang Hongde was standing there, watching Ye Xiao's every move.

Tang Hongde couldn't understand why Ye Xiao possessed such powerful strength? What was going on? Did the guy hide his true strength the last time he visited the Tang family?

But why hide one's strength? And now, is Ye Xiao's displayed strength his real strength? Or perhaps, even at this moment, it's not his strongest state?

Tang Hongde thought back to that phone call last time, the call that asked him to let Ye Xiao go.

Just who is this Ye Xiao!

Tang Hongde didn't know, and he simply couldn't know.

Let's switch the focus!

Tang Heng quickly caught up with Ye Xiao, the surprise on his face had vanished, leaving only a smile.

"I really didn't expect it, your strength is indeed so strong!" Tang Heng said to Ye Xiao as he walked.

Ye Xiao replied, "It was merely luck!"

Hearing this, Tang Heng immediately said seriously, "Mr. Ye, I didn't flatter you at all, your strength is indeed formidable, and I can see that your strength is certainly not just limited to this, so I admit my loss heartily and with conviction!"

"And then?" Ye Xiao smiled at Tang Heng.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Tang Heng was momentarily stunned, then said, "So, I am willing to keep my promise!"

"What promise?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile to Tang Heng.

Tang Heng replied, "Of course, the promise of becoming your little brother."

"Haha, Brother Tang, don't joke around, I thought you were just joking, let's forget about it." Ye Xiao laughed and said, "You're a person of the Tang family, having someone from the renowned Tang family in the Northern Territory become my little brother, you really do think highly of me."

"This is my decision, and it has nothing to do with the Tang family!"

"Wrong!" Ye Xiao immediately said, "Your last name is Tang, alive you are a person of the Tang family, dead you are a ghost of the Tang family, how can you say you have no connection? Haha, I can see that you are truly a heroic man, but since you are about ten years older than me, how can I let you become my little brother? If you want to be my friend, I would gladly welcome it!"

"No, as a man, once words leave your mouth, they're like water thrown out, you can't take them back!" Tang Heng looked at Ye Xiao with an extremely serious expression and said.

"Haha, it seems you really take me seriously." Ye Xiao said, "Why don't we talk about it after I've taken care of my business at the Tang family, and besides, to become my little brother, you'd need my approval."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Tang Heng realized that it made sense, nodded, and said, "Alright, but I am determined to be your little brother."

Looking at Tang Heng's determined expression, Ye Xiao found it somewhat amusing that someone was eager to become someone else's little brother.

"Haha, enough with the little brother talk, actually, if you're willing to be my little brother, perhaps there's a higher chance I would accept. Again, before that, let's meet your Old Master Tang first." Ye Xiao said.

Tang Heng nodded and said, "You're the boss!"

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, then walked with Tang Heng towards Tang Hongde's residence.

This time, the two chatted and laughed, just like good friends.

This sight surprised even Tang Hongde!

"Why have they left?" Tang Heng asked in surprise as he noticed the elders of the Tang family leaving the Clan Leader's residence.

Ye Xiao glanced at Tang Heng but didn't ask.

Soon, Ye Xiao and Tang Heng arrived at the main hall entrance of the Tang family!

"Go inform them, Ye Xiao has arrived." Tang Heng instructed the guard at the entrance.

The guard immediately nodded and said, "Yes!"

However, before the guard could enter, Tang Hongde's voice came from inside.

"Come in!"

Ye Xiao and Tang Heng exchanged a glance and then entered together shoulder to shoulder!

"Old Master Tang, this junior Ye Xiao greets you!" Despite everything, Ye Xiao was very polite, as Tang Hongde was Tang Rong's biological grandfather.

Tang Hongde looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Sit down!"

Ye Xiao and Tang Heng immediately sat down.

"Tang Heng, you step out first!" Tang Hongde instructed.

Tang Heng was taken aback by Tang Hongde's words. In the past, even if he didn't participate in family meetings, Tang Hongde would compel him to attend, but today...
