It's a pity for this Immortal Emperor's Treasure to be laid before Xiao Yun; it's simply a waste.

"Xiao Yun, are you crazy!"

Tang Rao waved his hand and knocked the Grinding Heart Pestle out of Xiao Yun's hand, letting it fall to the ground.

"Yes, I said I'm crazy, so what?"

"When did I chase them off?"

Heaven and earth are witnesses; Tang Rao never said anything to Liu Mingyue.

And concerning Liu Mingyue and Chen Tuan wanting to elope, that's their affair, Tang Rao couldn't change it.

"It's you. If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't be running off with someone, pregnant."

Running off with Chen Tuan while pregnant—this was all blamed on Tang Rao. Heaven and earth witnessed, Tang Rao was truly wronged.

"Tang Rao, if I don't kill you today, I am not Gu Yun!"

In a moment of panic, Xiao Yun stopped mid-sentence, realizing something was amiss.

"Gu Yun, did you say your surname is Gu?"

Because of a surname, Tang Rao could hardly contain himself.

"Yes, that's right. My surname is Gu. Do you have a problem with that?"

Seeing that things couldn't be hidden any longer, Xiao Yun simply admitted it.

"The Gu Family you're talking about, is it the same Gu Family that killed Sheng Xuan's entire family?"

Tang Rao couldn't believe this was true; Liu Mingyue had never told him Xiao Yun's true identity, but he knew their relationship was far from ordinary.

"What Gu Family that killed Sheng Xuan's family? My family wouldn't randomly kill people. Even if you don't like me, you can't spread lies!"

Xiao Yun hated being misunderstood the most in her life. If someone misunderstood her and said things she didn't like, especially if it concerned her family, she would risk her life to set things straight.

"Who is Gu Zhentian to you?"

Compared to the sometimes truthful, sometimes deceitful Xiao Yun, Tang Rao trusted the devoted Li Shengxuan more.

Since regaining her memory, Li Shengxuan had told Tang Rao that among those who killed her entire family and wanted to seize the talisman, one of them was the Gu Family, specifically the Family Head Gu Zhentian, who personally took the lives of Li Shengxuan's parents.

"Gu Zhentian is my grandfather."

Xiao Yun still couldn't believe that her family could have done such a thing.

"Xiao Yun, you should leave too. Sheng Xuan is my woman, and you know I would never allow my woman to be harmed or wronged."

This grudge involved both Xiao Yun and Li Shengxuan; although he'd let Xiao Yun go, Tang Rao was determined to help Li Shengxuan get justice.

"So you're saying I should leave? You want me to end up like Li Shengxuan, a homeless child? Li Shengxuan still has a home, she has you. But aside from a sister who's already left with someone, I have nothing."

Xiao Yun was resolute in not letting Tang Rao go against the Gu Family.

The Gu Family was large and powerful; just in terms of strength, they were several orders above Tang Rao.

Furthermore, if the two families were really at odds, the injury to Tang Rao and the Gu Family members wasn't something Xiao Yun wanted to see.

"You should leave, consider it my debt to you, but this grudge, I must avenge."

This was the first time Xiao Yun saw such determination in Tang Rao.

She hated it when Tang Rao had this uncompromising stance, leaving no room for negotiation.

"No, I won't go. I can't let you go to the Gu Family; you'll die."

With a single command from Tang Rao, the people from the Kao Shan Sect escorted Xiao Yun out within moments.

"Intensify the patrol and defense of the sect, if you see Xiao Yun's presence, she must not be allowed entry!"

Tang Rao's words were like an imperial decree, and the Guard Team had to obey.

"As you command!"

The entire Guard Team immediately sprang into action.

Xiao Yun had just been driven out and definitely wanted to return at once.

If they let Xiao Yun in, it would be negligence on their part, something they didn't want Tang Rao to scold them for.

"Tang Rao, you bastard, let me in; I want to kill you!"

Xiao Yun still only wanted to kill Tang Rao.

How could Tang Rao, who easily brought several women back, delay in responding to her affections?

"Miss Xiao Yun, it's not that we're unwilling; it's the Sect Master's command, we dare not disobey. Please don't make it difficult for us!"

The Guard Team members were at least of the seventh Immortal Monarch level, several ranks above Xiao Yun, so there was no comparison between Xiao Yun and the robust Guard Team.

Seeing that she truly couldn't get in, Xiao Yun returned in defeat to Liu Mingyue's place.

She didn't want to return to the Gu Family; in recent years, turmoil and strife abounded within. Her father sent her out to keep her safe, so Xiao Yun wasn't foolish enough to return to a dangerous situation.

"Xiao Yun still causing trouble outside?"

Initially, Xiao Yun wanted to make a fuss outside, but after some fussing, she fell silent.

Tang Rao was somewhat curious, so he asked casually.

"She's left already, why did you drive her away?"

Tu Hongxiu returned first, walking to the chair beside Tang Rao, massaging his temples.

"The grudge runs deep, if Xiao Yun gets involved, she'll end up getting hurt."

Tang Rao wasn't joking with Tu Hongxiu.

If Xiao Yun got involved in this matter, regardless of whether they could win, Tang Rao wouldn't let the Gu Family off easily, nor would he show mercy to Xiao Yun.

"But Xiao Yun is just a kid, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

Tu Hongxiu sighed; perhaps because she'd been with Tang Rao for too long, Tu Hongxiu had developed feelings of sympathy while considering these matters.

"Wasn't it cruel when Xiao Yun's family killed Sheng Xuan's entire family?"

Tang Rao loved Li Shengxuan and wouldn't allow her to suffer the slightest grievance.

"You mean, Xiao Yun's family killed all of Sheng Xuan's family members?"

This was no small matter. Sheng Xuan's family wasn't a minor family; the fact that they could be slaughtered by Xiao Yun's family indicated that Xiao Yun hailed from an unusual background.

Tang Rao sighed, "That's the way it is, but since Xiao Yun is a member of the Kao Shan Sect, I don't want to kill a fellow sect member."

Tu Hongxiu used her fingers to slowly transition a calming Immortal Energy into Tang Rao's temples, allowing the energy to flow into his entire being through minute blood vessels, giving Tang Rao an unprecedented state of peace.

"Tang Rao, we're back, the Kao Shan Sect is so beautiful!"

Bai Xiaotong came in excitedly, interrupting the conversation between Tang Rao and Tu Hongxiu.

"Don't mention this to Sheng Xuan, I don't want her to worry."

Seeing Bai Xiaotong and them return, Tang Rao transmitted to Tu Hongxiu.

"Alright."

After speaking, Tu Hongxiu resumed her usual quiet allure.

"You have no idea how beautiful the Kao Shan Sect is; it's so grand, I've fallen in love with this place, Tang Rao! I'm telling you, if you ever think of making me leave, I won't let it slide!"

This place, shrouded in mist all year round, was an excellent spot for leisure and health, a thousand times better than the villa Bai Xiaotong stayed at on the Blue Star.

Bai Xiaotong had lived so many years, and the only choice she never regretted was breaking through and coming to the Kao Shan Sect.

"Auntie, there are so many people here, can you calm down? You can choose where you want to stay, stay however you want, and for as long as you like. I won't object."

With Bai Xiaotong, his little whirlwind of energy, Tang Rao's mood improved significantly.
