"The Tang family is cordially awaiting Mrs. Lin's arrival..." Tang Ling did not expect that his grandson would be so powerful and be able to come up with such a heaven-defying elixir, and he felt extremely happy for a moment.
"Mr. Tang, I wonder where this elixir came from. Is there any chance of getting it?" Wuxuan looked at Tang Yan and asked with a smile.
Both the men and women in the hall were looking at Tang Yan at the same time, especially the women. They all raised their ears and had longing expressions on their faces.
"This is the only one I got by accident. I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one." Tang Yan secretly smiled in his heart. He refined this elixir himself, and he produced six elixirs in one go. But things are rare and valuable. If you say you still have them, wouldn't you be devaluing this gift?
When Tang Yan said no, all the women looked disappointed.
After Tang Yan's great gift, the gifts everyone else gave him became pale in comparison.
Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion had a relatively mild attitude and was very popular. The banquet was a happy one, with people drinking and drinking, and it didn't end until the evening.
After the banquet, Tang Yan was about to leave when he was stopped by the city lord: "Tang Yan, come with me."
In the complicated eyes of others, Tang Yan and the city lord left others with an intriguing back view.
At this banquet, among the major families in Yuncheng, the Tang family became the biggest winner. Not only did he attract attention at the banquet, but he also successfully gained favor from the city lord's palace, frightening other families who were plotting against the Tang family and giving the Tang family a buffer time to rise.
The losers are naturally the other three major families. Of course, the most frustrated one is the Liu family. The two strategies planned against the Tang family were all resolved by the Tang family. And because of the Qian family's problems, the family that is attached to the Liu family will definitely have something in mind.
City Lord's Mansion.
A high pavilion.
Lin Xiao and Tang Yan stood side by side, holding hands, leaning on the railing and looking from a distance, and could actually see most of Yuncheng.
"Tang Yan, do you think I, the city lord, am running Yuncheng in a benevolent way or a kingly way?" After standing for a while, the city lord opened his mouth and asked leisurely.
"None of them." Tang Yan replied after thinking for a moment.
"Oh?" City Lord Lin suddenly became interested and asked with a smile: "No way, then what path do you think I am taking?"
"The city lord has not followed any path. What he has followed is to transform the people with virtue and govern by doing nothing." Tang Yan said honestly.
"It's good to rule by doing nothing, so what path did your Tang family take?" the city lord asked with deep meaning.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. The Tang family just wants to live in peace with the world." Tang Yan said matter-of-factly.
The city lord narrowed his eyes when he heard this and asked again: "Then do you think it is right or wrong for me to govern by doing nothing?"
"There is no absolute right or wrong in things, only whether it is suitable or not. As for whether it is suitable or not, the City Lord must have some considerations in his mind." Tang Yan responded simply.
Lin Xiao had a high opinion of Tang Yan at this moment. He had also talked with other outstanding members of the family, but when asked this question, everyone talked eloquently, analyzed the pros and cons, and convinced themselves with ideas suitable for the development of their own family.
But Tang Yan is different. The Tang family will belong to Tang Yan in the future. Tang Yan's words also express an attitude. As long as people don't offend him, the Tang family will not become a threat to the city lord's palace. Therefore, his words were the most pertinent and were successfully recognized by Lin Xiao.
"Then tell me, what is the royal way?" The city lord seemed to be interested in chatting and asked with a smile.
"Someone refused and ran over him."
Hearing Tang Yan's answer, Lin Xiao was stunned. He had never been explained like this to anyone in his long life.
This answer is simple and rude, but it hits the point, and it suits me very well.
With a raised brow, Lin Xiao continued to ask: "Then what is domineering?"
"If you accept it, run over too!"
Lin Xiao's brows jumped again. This answer was still something he had never heard before, but it was more direct and clear. Moreover, such an answer was equally domineering and very suitable for this question.
"Then what is benevolence?" the city lord asked again.
"Before I run you over, I'd like to remind you."
"Hahahahaha..." Hearing such an answer, Lin Xiao threw his head back and laughed, almost crying. It seemed that he had not been so happy in a long time.
"Okay, good answer!" After a long time, Lin Xiao stopped laughing and cheered loudly.
Lin Xiao didn't stay with Tang Yan for long. In less than half an hour, Tang Yan came out of the city lord's mansion.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it’s getting dark earlier and earlier. When Tang Yan walked on the road, the surroundings were already dark. Taking advantage of the faint night light, Tang Yan walked towards the Tang family.
Anyway, there was no one on the road, so Tang Yan thought, since he had nothing to do when he went back, why not practice some movement skills? If there is a strong enemy in the future, even if it cannot be defeated, it will be more than enough to run away.
After searching his memory again, Tang Yan selected a set of footwork called "Phantom Step".
This set of footwork is very consistent with its name. When practiced to perfection, it can come and go silently, as agile as a ghost, and extremely fast. It is not only the capital for escaping, but also a good means of killing people and stealing goods.
However, good footwork is naturally extremely difficult to practice. With that weird movement, Tang Yan staggered and almost fell to the ground before he had even taken two steps.
Tang Yan, who did not believe in evil, practiced again, still twisting twice like last time. This time, due to excessive force, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Wherever you fall, you get up. Tang Yan is not a person who gives up easily. If he sees something clearly, he will do it without hesitation.
"Bang!" Falling down.
"Bang!" He fell down again.
"Bang!" He fell down for the third time...
Fortunately, there was no one around at this time. If anyone had seen Tang Yan, they might have thought he was a lunatic. He fell more than twenty times in just 100 meters.
We were halfway home, and it was already approaching midnight, and Tang Yan was already looking disgraced and embarrassed.
After falling down hundreds of times, Tang Yan finally figured out a trick. From the original slow speed, he became one minute faster than a normal person walking.
After another hour, Tang Yan was already somewhat proficient in using this set of footwork, and his speed was no different from that of an ordinary person.
Tang Yan was completely immersed in this set of footwork. This footwork was really exquisite. Every time he took a step up, the eight directions would fall at will, making it impossible to figure out the trajectory.
At this moment, Tang Yan was like a child who got a new toy. He was completely intoxicated. He changed his direction and ran towards the outside of the city instead of returning to the Tang family.
In the night, Tang Yan practiced step by step, making each move extremely proficient, and then integrated these already proficient scattered moves to make them smooth and thorough.
Fortunately, Tang Yan carried the High Spiritual Pill, which ensured a continuous flow of Qi in his body. With Tang Yan's continuous practice, his movement speed became faster and faster.
Suddenly, Tang Yan froze, the hairs all over his body stood up, and an extremely dangerous aura came from the bottom of his heart.
