Chapter 464 Brothers Become Enemies
"Chief, would the young lady be willing to go back to Xiangxi with us?"

An hour later, Teng Sanshi, with complicated thoughts, slowly walked out of the villa in Jueqing Valley. He walked hesitantly and looked back every few steps, as if he was reluctant to leave Xiao Zhirou.

Teng Qiner followed closely behind, unable to suppress her curiosity, and asked repeatedly: "Chief, the eldest lady..."

"Girl, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight." Teng Sanshi said seriously, "Rou'er... won't be coming home for the time being."

Teng Qin'er was shocked and asked in surprise, "Why?"

"She just said that she had many things to deal with, so she couldn't just leave." Teng Sanshi said, "As for the reason, she didn't mention a word."

"This……"

"That's all!" Teng Sanshi said with a bitter smile, "Seeing her alive and well, I am already satisfied. It is a great blessing to regain what was lost. As for the rest, I will just let fate take its course. I don't want to ask for too much. Moreover, she is no longer the ignorant girl she was back then. Now she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, has seen through the fickleness of the world, knows how to judge the degree of dealing with people, and is well versed in the ways of life and death. She is even better than me, and no longer needs the protection of the Teng clan, so... I will not interfere too much."

Teng Sanshi's tone sounds relaxed and casual, but it actually contains a hint of bitterness.

The reunion of father and daughter is certainly a joy, but the times are different now. They are not only father and daughter, but also have two completely different identities. One is good and the other is evil. If it is made public rashly, the implications, impact and harm will be far from being easily resolved in a few words.

Therefore, for Teng Sanshi, tonight's trip seemed to be full of joy and a dream come true. But in fact, it was like a fish drinking water, only the fish knew whether it was hot or cold.

Precisely because the father and daughter had so many concerns, Teng Sanshi did not insist on forcing Xiao Zhirou to obey him in the face of her stubbornness, but chose to be considerate.

Thin clouds are lingering and the moonlight is hazy.

When Teng Sanshi and Teng Qiner suppressed their sorrow and wanted to leave quickly, a thin figure suddenly walked out from the darkness.

"Who is sneaking around in the middle of the night?" Teng Sanshi's eyes changed, and at the same time he waved his hand to protect the unsuspecting Teng Qiner behind him.

"it's me!"

A familiar voice came from far away and gradually, the thin clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight poured down, reflecting the face of the future person clearly. At the same time, a strong smell of alcohol hit my face.

"Butler Tang?" Teng Sanshi was stunned when he recognized Tang Yuan. Then he felt a little uneasy, worried that Tang Yuan would ask about his purpose, so he spoke first, "Butler Tang, why are you here in the middle of the night instead of resting in the villa?"

"I'm here to look for an old friend."

At this moment, Tang Yuan was drunk, his expression was dim, his eyes were complicated, and he seemed to be worried about something, so he failed to notice anything strange about Teng Sanshi.

"Old friend?" Teng Sanshi frowned, looking surprised, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he bowed and said goodbye, "If that's the case, I won't bother you. Manager Tang, please do as you please!"

After saying that, Teng Sanshi grabbed the uneasy Teng Qiner, turned around suddenly, and wanted to leave quickly.

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Yuan suddenly spoke, causing Teng Sanshi and Teng Qiner's hearts to sink at the same time.

"What advice do you have for me, Steward Tang?"

"I dare not!" Tang Yuan looked at Teng Sanshi's back and murmured absentmindedly, "Since we have met by chance, I dare to ask Chief Teng to be a witness for me."

Seeing that Tang Yuan was not questioning his purpose, Teng Sanshi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly turned around and asked curiously, "What testimony?"

"Come with me!"

Seeing Tang Yuan's strange words and abnormal behavior, Teng Sanshi couldn't help but become even more confused.

As the saying goes, "A man of great skill has great courage." Teng Sanshi ordered Teng Qiner to leave first, while he followed Tang Yuan and walked away.

A moment later, the two of them arrived at the villa of Longxiang Mountain in a dignified manner. Without waiting for the surprised Teng Sanshi to dissuade him, Tang Yuan, under the influence of alcohol, strode towards the villa.

"Who trespassed into Longxiangshan Villa?"

A shout suddenly rang out from the garden, and then Xu Ren led a dozen Longxiang Mountain disciples to rush forward aggressively, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Tang Yuan and Teng Sanshi.

They held up torches, lighting up the dim courtyard as bright as day. The dazzling light sobered Tang Yuan up a little from his drunkenness.

"I was wondering who was so bold. It turned out to be Chief Teng and Chief Steward Tang. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xu Ren looked at the two of them with a sharp gaze and asked in a bad tone, "What brings you two here in the middle of the night?"

"Go away!"

Tang Yuan pointed his finger at Xu Ren's nose and said contemptuously, "How dare a clown like you point fingers in front of me? Call Tang Xuan out, I have something to ask him!"

Hearing this, Teng Sanshi suddenly realized that Tang Yuan came here tonight to find Tang Xuan. He was drunk and behaved abnormally, and the reason was the same.

Teng Sanshi had also heard about the relationship between Tang Xuan and Tang Yuan.

Facing Tang Yuan's shouting, Xu Ren naturally would not back down. He faced Tang Yuan's finger and took a step forward without hesitation, letting Tang Yuan's fingertips almost touch the tip of his nose. He remained fearless and said quietly, "Butler Tang, this is not the place for you to act crazy and stupid."

"What did you say?" Tang Yuan didn't get angry but laughed instead, narrowing his eyes slightly and pretending to be curious.

"I told you to get out!" Xu Ren pointed at the gate and said viciously, "Get out!"

"Heh!" Accompanied by a faint chuckle, Tang Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, and a silver needle shot out silently from his palm and penetrated Xu Ren's nose as fast as lightning.

Xu Ren suddenly felt a chill at the tip of his nose, and then a hint of sourness flashed through the deep root of his nose. Before he could come to his senses, a piercing pain suddenly spread throughout his body.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a faint needle-shaped airflow rose and fell from his throat, along the meridians under his skin, and quickly drilled towards his heart at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

"what!"

Not only out of fear of death, but also because of the severe pain caused by the silver needle piercing his meridians, Xu Ren suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, which frightened the surrounding Longxiang Mountain disciples so much that their faces changed and they all took a few steps back.

"do not move!"

With a sharp shout, Tang Xuan flew over, his left hand was as fast as lightning, grabbing Xu Ren's wrist and pulling his arm horizontally. At the same time, he tapped Xu Ren's chest with his right hand several times, forcing the silver needle that was about to pierce his heart to retreat.

Then, Tang Xuan pulled out a dagger from his waist, pressed Xu Ren's arm tightly with the back of the knife, and slowly pushed the trembling silver needle hidden under the skin and in the blood, causing it to slowly move towards Xu Ren's palm.

"out!"

Along with Tang Xuan's loud shout, the silver needle that reached Xu Ren's wrist suddenly accelerated, instantly pierced through his palm, and pierced the tip of his middle finger. Blood dripped like a thread, splashing three feet away. The silver needle was like lightning and disappeared into the night sky.

"Forehead!"

Tang Xuan's movements were smooth and seamless. Even when he pushed Xu Ren, who had survived the disaster, to the side, Xu Ren had not yet fully recovered from his panic.

Xu Ren tightly clenched his swollen and painful fingers, looked at Tang Yuan with fear, and cursed viciously: "I swear I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge..."

"Everyone, get out!" Tang Xuan urged impatiently, "Stop embarrassing yourself here."

"Protector Tang, but..."

"roll!"

Tang Xuan didn't give Xu Ren any chance to explain himself. An angry look made him swallow back the rest of his words.

"This is not the place to talk. If we disturb the Holy Lord's rest, neither you nor I will end up well." Having said this, Tang Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed outside the garden, his meaning was self-evident.

"Nonsense! You are afraid of Yun Zhuiyue, but I am not." Tang Yuan was unmoved, his eyes full of contempt, "I came here to tell you that it doesn't matter if you indulge in depravity, but if you implicate the Tang Sect, I will not let you off easily!"

Hearing this, Tang Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of teasing, and he sneered, "We haven't seen each other for many years, and you threatened me as soon as we met. Is this how you talk to Big Brother?"

"Bah!" Tang Yuan spat, "From the moment you betrayed the Tang Sect, you and I are no longer brothers."

"It doesn't matter!" The smile on Tang Xuan's face gradually faded, replaced by a sinister look, "The Tang family has never acknowledged my achievements, so why should I care about you as a brother? Also, the one who is self-degrading is not me, but the entire Tang family!"

"You betrayed the Tang Clan, which was unfilial. You joined a foreign religion, which was unjust. You killed innocent people, which was unkind. You secretly communicated with foreign races, which was disloyal." Tang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Xuan, you have completely forgotten the family precepts of your ancestors and turned into a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust scum of the martial arts world. Not only that, you also used the skills taught by the Tang family to develop a killing weapon, which brought shame to our ancestors and humiliation to the Tang Clan. I remember all these bloody debts clearly, and sooner or later I will clean up the mess for the Tang family."

"What a joke!" Tang Xuan laughed up to the sky, arrogant and crazy, "You are such a fool, you are worthy of fighting me? Tang Yuan, go back and tell the old man that since I dare to leave Tang Sect and join Longxiang Mountain, I will definitely be incompatible with you for the rest of my life, and I swear to fight you to the death. As for whether you kill me or I kill you, no one needs to talk big, just wait and see!"

The old guy Tang Xuan mentioned refers to the patriarch of the Tang family.

"Tang Xuan, you traitor..."

"Manager Tang, please calm down! This is Huashan, you must not act on impulse." Tang Yuan was furious and wanted to attack Tang Xuan, but was stopped in time by Teng Sanshi.

At this moment, Tang Yuan frowned with anger, while Tang Xuan, on the other hand, was sneering and dismissive.

Through this scene, Teng Sanshi, who is well versed in worldly affairs, can easily see that Tang Yuan still cares about a trace of brotherhood, so he loves him deeply and hates him deeply. Tang Xuan is different. He not only has no feelings for Tang Yuan, but also regards him as an enemy and hates him to the bone.

They are brothers of the same blood and of the same lineage, but their personalities are vastly different, and their characters are even more so than each other.

"Tang Xuan, I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you!"

"I'll say the same thing to you." Facing the angry Tang Yuan, Tang Xuan looked indifferent and had a firm attitude.

Seeing this scene, Teng Sanshi couldn't help but sigh: "We are from the same roots, why are we so eager to fight each other?"

"Manager Tang, let's go!"

Teng Sanshi took a deep look at the dimly lit lobby, and a trace of inexplicable sadness suddenly flashed across his face. He then dragged the unwilling Tang Yuan and walked out of the garden step by step.

Looking at Tang Yuan's angry expression, the smile on Tang Xuan's face became even brighter.

"As long as I, Tang Xuan, am alive, the Tang Clan in Shu will never have peace."

……

　There are many graves on the hills in the north and south, and people sweep graves on Qingming Festival. Paper ashes fly like white butterflies, and tears and blood turn red azaleas. Foxes sleep on graves at sunset, and children smile in front of the lights at night. When you have wine in your life, you must get drunk, and not a drop of it will ever reach the underworld.
