Chapter 1654: Chapter 714: Request for Aid

"Get out immediately. After this Jiu Provinces Hunting, I’ll have our parents marry you off."

Tang Lei’s thunderous roar echoed.

Tang Tianqi had never seen her brother so furious. She suppressed her discontent and ran out.

Tang Tianqi ran outside, tears streaming down as her mind was in chaos.

Her mind was filled with Tang Lei’s words.

Second Brother is so frightening.

How could he do this? Sister Ling Bo is his fiancée; no matter how precious the Interior Cauldron Heaven is, it can’t compare to a living human life.

The Interior Cauldron Heaven is the greatest secret of the Tang Family.

Tang Tianqi learned of it when she accidentally overheard her father and brother mention it when she was a child.

She discovered that the Tang Family’s secret Spiritual Liquid was cultivated in a family-inherited Cave Heaven, the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

Within the Interior Cauldron Heaven, the Spiritual Energy is abundant. It benefits both Spirit Plants and cultivation greatly; it’s said that a day of cultivation inside is equivalent to ten days outside.

Tang Tianqi was young at the time, and upon hearing this secret, she clamored to get in and cultivate in the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

But her father and brother scolded her angrily.

Her father warned her that the Interior Cauldron Heaven of the Tang Family was only for the future family head heir, and it’s passed only to males, not females.

Because women are seen as water that will spill out, destined to be married off one day.

Moreover, despite the Interior Cauldron Heaven’s incredible nature, its size is limited, and so is its Spiritual Power. Excluding the power needed for Spirit Plant cultivation, there isn’t much left for personal cultivation.

It was simply impossible for Tang Tianqi to have a chance to cultivate there.

Though she was unwilling, seeing that other female members of the Tang Family, including her grandfather’s favorite, Tang Lingbo, couldn’t enter either, she accepted the situation.

It was with the help of the Interior Cauldron Heaven that Tang Lei’s cultivation constantly surpassed that of other Tang family members.

This time, during the Jiu Provinces Hunting, the Tang Family Patriarch had high hopes for Tang Lei, allowing him to bring the Interior Cauldron Heaven with him.

Only Tang Tianqi, Tang Lei, and Tang Lingbo knew about this, and none of them had spoken of it to outsiders.

Even earlier, when Xi Jiuye probed Tang Tianqi, she hadn’t revealed anything.

Were it not for today’s events, Tang Tianqi wouldn’t have spoken about it.

From inside the tent, the conversation between Tang Lei and Tang Lingbo could be heard intermittently.

"Tang Lei, I’ve said before; I don’t need treatment. I’d rather die than become crippled."

Tang Lingbo spoke weakly between coughs.

"Tang Lingbo, you vile woman. Don’t think I don’t know you’d rather die than marry me. In your heart, you only have that lowly guy, Tang Tiansong."

Tang Lei cursed angrily.

"Don’t insult him. In my eyes, he stands much taller than you. At least he dared to challenge Xi Jiuye for my sake. And you? You didn’t even dare to act when your own sister was ambushed."

Tang Lingbo mocked.

The crash of cups hitting the floor sounded inside the tent.

"Shut up. You want to die, but I won’t let you have your way. Let me tell you, you won’t die. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have Nian Wu Venerable come to abolish your Primordial Power. I want to see you become crippled, marry you, and do as I please. I want that boy Tang Tiansong to watch as you become my woman, making him suffer eternally."

Tang Lei raged vehemently.

Tang Tianqi was startled and quickly stepped aside.

Tang Lei stormed out angrily.

"You all, watch this tent. Without my orders, no one is allowed inside."

Tang Lei cast a sinister glance at the tent and left.

Tang Tianqi stood dazedly outside the tent for a good quarter-hour.

She gritted her teeth and dashed toward the Huangquan Team’s camp location.

Meanwhile, after parting with Tang Lingbo, Tang Tiansong had been restless.

By dusk, he could no longer hold back, stood up, and was about to head to the Tang Family’s representatives to inquire about the situation.

"Tiansong, don’t be reckless. You saw how that brat Tang Lei looked earlier. If you go, you’re bound to clash with him."

Bo Qing and Qin Xiaochuan stopped him.

"I can’t hold it. Bo Qing, Xiao Chuan, you both have loved ones. If it were the team leader severely injured, or if Guangzi was hurt, could you hold back?"

Tang Tiansong resented himself, regretting that after all these years, he still couldn’t let go of Tang Lingbo.

But the thought of her gravely injured and on the verge of dying stopped his feet.

Bo Qing and Qin Xiaochuan were momentarily speechless. Indeed, if Ye Lingyue or Guangzi were hurt, they would likely be more restless than Tang Tiansong.

As the two hesitated, Guangzi’s voice came from outside.

"Hey, what’s with you, woman? This isn’t the Tang Family’s camp. What are you barging in here for?"

The three of them were startled, and upon stepping outside, they saw Guangzi and Tang Tianqi staring at each other.

"I’m here for Tang Tiansong. Move aside."

Tang Tianqi, feeling guilty about Tang Lingbo and having heard her brother’s words, feared that Tang Lei would truly have Nian Wu Venerable abolish Sister Ling Bo’s martial arts the next morning, so in a hurry, she came looking for Tang Tiansong.

She didn’t know exactly which tent Tang Tiansong was in, so she mistakenly barged into Guangzi’s tent.

"Tang Tianqi, what do you want from me?"

Tang Tiansong had a deep-seated prejudice against Tang Tianqi. He believed that a significant part of the reason for Tang Lingbo’s severe injury was because of Tang Tianqi, so when he saw her, he instinctively frowned.

"Fifth... Fifth Brother."

Tang Tianqi blushed, her voice barely above a whisper as she called out to Tang Tiansong.

Tang Tiansong was taken aback.

Among peers in the Tang Family, he was ranked fifth in age.

But from the day he was born, due to being from a branch family, none of the main family’s young masters or mistresses had ever called him "Fifth Brother."

"Miss Thirteen, you’re too kind; I can’t accept that."

Tang Tiansong responded stiffly.

"Fifth Brother... don’t... don’t be angry. I came to ask you to save Sister Ling Bo. My brother’s gone mad; he wants to abolish Sister Ling Bo’s martial arts. He even said... he won’t spare you or Sister Ling Bo."

Tang Tianqi began to cry as she spoke.

"I didn’t mean for it to happen. I didn’t expect Sister Ling Bo to get hurt. She’s a good person; if her martial arts are abolished, she won’t want to live."

"What’s done is done. What’s the use of saying anything now? Ling Bo’s injury... can only be healed by abolishing her martial arts."

Tang Tiansong’s expression was somber.

He had already asked Ye Lingyue, who had given no clear answer.

"No, there’s a way to heal her. I know a way. If Sister Ling Bo can enter the Interior Cauldron Heaven, she has a chance to recover. The Interior Cauldron Heaven is with my brother."

Tang Tianqi gritted her teeth and blurted out about the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

"Interior Cauldron Heaven? Are you talking about a piece that looks like a Fragment of a cauldron?"

At this moment, a voice interrupted the conversation between Tang Tianqi and Tang Tiansong from behind her.
