Chapter 456: Meet Xuanyuan Yueyao

*Thud*

Tang Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at Huangfu Meizhen, who had just landed in front of him. "Do you need something from me, Sect Master Huangfu?"

"Here." Huangfu Meizhen held out a golden invitation. "My grandfather asked me to invite you to my wedding with Song Tianzun, and you can bring Situ Lingxi with you."

Tang Xiao accepted the invitation and raised an eyebrow, pondering about Huangfu Lingxuan’s purpose. "Did Old Huangfu tell you about his goal?"

"My grandfather holds you in high regard, so you should be able to guess his purpose."

"Does this have anything to do with the Shangguan Clans?"

"Correct." Huangfu Meizhen stepped closer to him and spoke in a low voice. "My grandfather didn’t tell me in detail about Shangguan Qingyue, but he was worried that Shangguan Qingyin would notice the change in her niece. Since Situ Lingxi joined the sect, he got the idea for you to attend my wedding together with her."

Tang Xiao weighed the pros and cons first. "If I publicly reveal my relationship with Situ Lingxi, I’m worried the Sun Clan will find out about us, and my efforts to get rid of Sun Weitian will be wasted."

"You don’t need to worry about the Sun Clan, as they won’t be attending my wedding, and neither will their allies." Huangfu Meizhen patted his shoulder. "Shangguan Qingyin will target you once she notices Shangguan Qingyue’s change, and my grandfather can’t move openly, so he can’t protect you from her. Besides, you’ll be meeting Situ Lingshan soon; you can use the Situ Clan as a shield, and she won’t dare to make a move on you."

"Alright, I’ll think about it first." After saying that, Tang Xiao continued his journey to the core disciple courtyard.

Huangfu Meizhen looked at Tang Xiao’s back in deep thought, and then she contacted Huangfu Lingxuan to tell her grandfather about his reaction.

Upon arriving at the core disciple courtyard, Tang Xiao crossed paths with Shen Liang, who was about to descend the mountain accompanied by a young woman. ’Scan their status, Xiao Ai.’

[Yes, Master.]

Shen Ling stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he saw Tang Xiao; he couldn’t believe that he was still alive, which meant his two subordinates had failed their task.

Tang Xiao ignored them, walked towards Mu Qingge’s bamboo house, and read their status.

Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow; he didn’t expect Shen Liang to have three women, but he felt that his enemy was too weak compared to Situ Lingxi.

Tang Xiao recalled Chen Hongde telling him that Shen Liang was the young master of the Shen Clan and ought to have received abundant cultivation resources from his clan; thus, his cultivation level made no sense. ’The Shen Clan is more profound than I originally thought.’

.

.

.

Shen Liang glared at Tang Xiao’s back with an ugly expression, yet he dared not confront him, given Mu Qingge’s close ties to Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao.

"Do you know him, Young Master Shen?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Shen Liang dragged her away and contacted his subordinates. "You’d better not have any thoughts about him, or I’ll make you regret it."

"Hehe," Ye Wanqing giggled. "He’s quite handsome, but he’s not as handsome as you, so I’ll never be attracted to him."

Shen Liang didn’t respond to her; instead, he contemplated secretly getting rid of Tang Xiao. ’Damn it! I have to get rid of him as soon as possible, and I’ll kidnap his wife when the opportunity arises.’

"Aren’t you going to contact Qin Yunrou and Ling Yue, Young Master Shen?" Shen Liang looked at Ye Wanqing with a frown. "We haven’t had fun together for a long time, so I thought we could spend some time together for a few days, and the three of us will serve you."

"Contact them and ask them to meet us at the Qingyuan Inn."

"Alright."

.

When he arrived at the bamboo house area, Tang Xiao found Mu Qingge chatting with Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao.

Tang Xiao wasn’t surprised to see Mu Qingge familiar with Situ Lingxi, but he was confused by her closeness to Xuanyuan Yueyao. Although she had told him about their relationship in the past three days, he felt that they had become close too quickly.

Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at Tang Xiao, a faint smile gracing her beautiful and mature face. Compared to Situ Lingxi, she was more reserved and ladylike, showcasing her status as a noblewoman.

’Scan her status, Xiao Ai.’

[Wait a minute.]

Tang Xiao took a deep breath after reading Xuanyuan Yueyao’s status. Although Huangfu Lingxuan had already told him that she possessed golden aptitude, he hadn’t expected her talent to be so extraordinary and her cultivation to have reached such a high level at such a young age.

Compared to Shangguan Qingyue, Situ Lingxi, and Huangfu Meizhen, Xuanyuan Yueyao was far superior.

’She’s too terrifying.’ Tang Xiao calmed himself down and walked over to them. "Nice to meet you, Young Miss Xuanyuan."

"Nice to meet you too, Tang Xiao." Xuanyuan Yueyao replied with a gentle voice and calm expression.

Situ Lingxi glanced at them. "Did you just come back today?"

"Yes." Tang Xiao sat in front of them and put the golden invitation on the stone table, surprising the three women. "Sect Master Huangfu invited me to attend her wedding with Song Tianzun."

"Are you really going to attend their wedding, Husband?" Mu Qingge asked.

"I couldn’t refuse her because it was Old Huangfu’s idea." Tang Xiao looked at Situ Lingxi. "Are you willing to accompany me on their wedding day?"

Situ Lingxi wasn’t a stupid woman, and she understood Huangfu Lingxuan’s intention in asking Tang Xiao to bring her to his granddaughter’s wedding. "I will come with you."

"I’ll join you two." Tang Xiao and Situ Lingxi looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao in surprise. "Why are you two looking at me like that? My uncle can’t attend their wedding because he has to meet Emperor Dongfang on that day, and he asked me to represent him."

Situ Lingxi nodded in understanding and turned to Mu Qingge. "You should come with us, Qingge."

"What do you think about that, Husband?" Mu Qingge asked Tang Xiao for his opinion.

"Since Shangguan Qingyin and the others already know about our relationship, you should come with us to Sect Master Huangfu’s wedding." Tang Xiao answered without a second thought. "Actually, I was planning to bring Yin’er and the others along as well, and we’ll head straight to the Taixu Kingdom after their wedding."

"Okay."

"I will tell them about this matter later." Tang Xiao returned his gaze to Xuanyuan Yueyao. "Of all the cultivators I have ever met, you are the most terrifying, Young Miss Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan Yueyao propped her chin. "Why do you say that? By the way, you don’t need to be so formal with me, and you can call me by my name."

"You are still young, but your cultivation has already reached the Peak Tyrant Level, and you will probably break through to the Saint Level soon." Xuanyuan Yueyao was momentarily surprised when Tang Xiao mentioned her cultivation. "I can’t say the details, but it’s not difficult for me to know your cultivation level. Besides, you also have Triple Elemental Veins, and you have three elements: fire, water, and wind."

Situ Lingxi wasn’t surprised about the matter regarding Xuanyuan Yueyao, but she was puzzled about how Tang Xiao could know all of that.

Mu Qingge knew Xiao Ai was helping Tang Xiao to check on Xuanyuan Yueyao, but she was shocked to hear that she had the Triple Elemental Veins and three elements.

"Haha." Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed softly. "My uncle is right; you are no ordinary cultivator. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to detect my cultivation level, yet you managed to do so instantly. Not to mention, you know about my cultivation veins and three elements, which piqued my interest even more. Aren’t you afraid that I will do something to you?"

"You are much stronger than me, but I am not afraid of you." Tang Xiao looked at her with a relaxed expression. "Even if you are strong, you won’t be able to capture me. Besides, Old Huangfu has already explained some things to me about you, so I know you won’t have such thoughts about me."

"I like your confidence." In her heart, Xuanyuan Yueyao was shocked by that, and she tried to probe Tang Xiao. "You remind me of my uncle, and I feel that you two have similar characters."

"Oh? I’m flattered to hear you compare me to Emperor Xuanyuan." Then, Tang Xiao asked her. "Are you approaching me just because of my cultivation aptitude?"

"Not really." Xuanyuan Yueyao shook her head. "Compared to your cultivation aptitude, I am more curious about the real you, so I decided to join this sect to get to know you better."

"I never pretend, and this is my true self."

"I know." Xuanyuan Yueyao nodded. "All your actions in the last few days were quite shocking; do you know that? Honestly, I admire your actions towards Shangguan Qingyue, and no one has had the guts to do that. Besides, you managed to find Huo Mianmian’s location, which no one else could ever do."
