Chapter 402 Invitation to Battle
Chapter 402 Invitation to Battle
"What is he doing? Is he coming here to apologize? Does he think I will let him go if he comes here to apologize?"
Looking at the visiting card in his hand, Elder Wu sneered and threw it aside.
Elder Xiao Tang waved his hand and the visiting card on the ground instantly flew into his hands. While Elder Xiao Tang was reading the visiting card, Elder Wu had already said to her maid: "Tell him that not everyone can come to my family banquet. There is no need to apologize, just tell him to stay at home. This elder will settle accounts with him sooner or later!"
The maid was about to leave, but Elder Xiao Tang, who had already read the invitation, raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
When the maid turned around and looked at Elder Xiao Tang, Elder Xiao Tang said, "When you meet Tian Lin, tell him that we accept the visiting card and that you don't need to bring any gifts on the day of the family banquet. We are all from the same sect, so there is no need to be so distant."
After hearing this, Elder Wu quit.
She slammed the table and stood up, staring at Elder Tang and said, "What do you mean? The Dao weapon fell into the hands of your eldest brother, and you advised me not to fight for it. Now that the enemy has come to your door, you still want to treat him with a good face? Tang Zhi, you are sincerely against me, right?"
Facing his tigress-like wife, Elder Xiao Tang had a good attitude. He explained gently, "Tian Lin is Elder Yu's registered disciple. Even though he is not a formal disciple, many people in the sect are willing to give Elder Yu face.
Apart from other things, if you want to deal with Tian Lin, Elder Xue will probably not ignore you. Since killing him will do no good, why not make a good relationship with him?
Besides, bullying the weak is easy to be criticized. It is better to be more generous and have a good reputation. "
Elder Wu refused to do it, so she shook off Elder Xiao Tang:
"In this world, only when you act strong will others be afraid of you. If you act weak and easy to bully, everyone will dare to step on you.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about your eldest sister-in-law - if she didn’t think you were easy to bully, would she dare to covet your Dao weapon? If she didn’t think you were easy to talk to, would Mei dare to kill your eldest son and bully your second son?"
When talking about the death of his eldest son, Elder Tang couldn't hold back his expression.
But he still chose to persuade him with kind words, and pulled Elder Wu's sleeve and said, "Our Tang family has already shown enough strength in the sect. Now is the time to treat people kindly. Otherwise, it will incur public anger and only make people resentful."
"Hehe, you're a wimp and you're still quibbling! Your father is the sect leader, and you're at the late Jindan stage, what are you afraid of? Anyone who dares to complain will be killed;
There are still many people in this world who are afraid of death. If you kill all those who are not afraid of death, who among the remaining people will dare to resist you?"
Elder Xiao Tang was also angry: "Our father is not even at the God Transformation stage yet! Only a sect leader at the God Transformation stage can make people dare to be angry but not to speak out; can a late Nascent Soul stage really shock the patriarchs of those big families?"
"Why are you so angry with me? If you have the ability, you can kill the little bastard surnamed Mei to avenge his son. You said that the little bastard surnamed Mei has a Yuanying grandfather, and I will listen to you and not touch him. But who is Tian Lin? You won't let me kill him?
If you have the ability, you can get angry with your sister-in-law and ask her to take our Dao weapon back. Yes, you have liked your sister-in-law since you were a child, and you actually want to give the Dao weapon to her son to please her? It's a pity that she has chosen your eldest brother and doesn't like you, a waste in the late Jindan stage. "
Elder Xiao Tang was anxious and said to the maid, "Get out! Don't spread what I said today, or I'll cut off your tongue."
The maid went out, not daring to tell anyone about what happened today. She didn't even go to Tian Lin to tell him about Elder Wu's request to reject Tian Lin.
As the maid expected, Elder Xiao Tang coaxed his wife back to health two days later. Elder Wu did not mention not allowing Tian Lin to attend the family dinner again, but instead said to the maid:
"It's good that he's here. Let's give him hope first, and then make him despair."
A family dinner was soon held at Xiaoping Peak, and all the chores of the disciples at Xiaoping Peak began to get busy that day.
They are said to be menial disciples of the Wendao Sect, but in fact these menial disciples were not admitted through examinations, but were the servants of Elder Wu and Elder Xiao Tang who were away from home.
Not only Elder Wu's family, but all the other elders of the Tang family in the sect arranged for their relatives and adopted sons to enter the sect as outer disciples or menial disciples.
Do these outer sect and menial disciples have sufficient cultivation and strong talents?
The Tang family didn't care, because what they cared about was whether these people were loyal to them! The reason why other families in the sect didn't object was because they did the same thing.
As for those small families who are not qualified to bring their children and family members into the sect, no one pays any attention to them.
"That little bastard hasn't come yet?"
At the end of the banquet, Elder Wu, with a rosy face, asked the maid, and the maid said, "According to your instructions, Madam, he is not allowed to drink in the inner room, so he was arranged to go to the corner outside."
It's not just the outer corner?
In order to humiliate Tian Lin, Elder Wu arranged for Tian Lin to eat alone at the servants' table.
But it was rare that Tian Lin was not angry. Instead, he looked submissive.
"Where's Guo'er?"
"The young master is over there too, taking his friends to see the joke."
After the maid finished speaking, Elder Wu said, "Okay, I'll go and see the joke too!"
She left immediately after she finished speaking, without even waiting for the maid to follow her.
At this time, Elder Xiao Tang, who had just finished talking to someone, came over. He still had a wine glass in his hand, but his face was not flushed, and it was obvious that he did not drink much.
"Where's Madame?"
"Madam has gone to the outer room to watch the joke."
Elder Xiao Tang listened to her explanation and looked unhappy: "After all, she is an elder, why is she still acting so vulgar? She laughs at others, how can she know that people from other families are also laughing at her?"
After saying this, Elder Xiao Tang also went to the outer room.
The maidservant did not follow him. She whispered to her favorite servant, "Our master actually has good talents and a good personality, but unfortunately he met such a lady. I am the master, and I will be angry to death sooner or later!"
When Elder Tang rushed to the outer room, he was almost angry to death.
If it was just his wife who was sarcastic, it would be fine, but his son was also mocking Tian Lin. In front of everyone, the mother and son threw all kinds of ugly words at Tian Lin.
They treated Tian Lin like a monkey, but Elder Xiao Tang clearly saw from other people's eyes the disdain for his wife and children.
So, in the end, their wives and children are treated like monkeys, but they are unaware of it.
Elder Xiao Tang felt tired. He looked at Tian Lin again and saw that Tian Lin was quite dignified and had the demeanor of not letting anyone spit in his face. On the contrary, the two maids beside Tian Lin seemed to be a little restless.
Just as one of the maids was about to stand up to refute, Tian Lin held down the maid's hand and stood up: "Elder Wu can scold me, but I absolutely cannot allow you to scold my master!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to an old man from the Tang family and said, "This disciple humbly requests to open the life and death stage and sign a life and death agreement with Elder Wu."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked and thought that Tian Lin was looking for death!
How could Tian Lin, a person with the cultivation level of the early Jindan stage, have the confidence to challenge a person in the middle Jindan stage?
