Entrustment

Chapter 81 Entrustment

"Coward! You dare to do it but not admit it! How dare you come back here?"

"Go back to where you came from! The Haotian Sect has no land to accommodate a traitor like you!"

The Haotian Sect was furious. They hated Tang Hao to the core. Despite being the number one sect in the world, they were now living a life worse than rats, all because of Tang Hao.

"Everyone, I, Tang Hao, am a sinner! But my child is innocent. I have no way to make up for my mistakes, but I hope my child can contribute to the sect. He is very good. In the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he led his team to defeat the Spirit Hall and win first place!"

Tang Hao became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with pride, deeply proud to have such a son.

"So what?"

The Seventh Elder sneered, then slowly rose and walked to Tang Hao, squatting down and asking coldly, "You're not trying to say that not only did you offend the Spirit Hall, but your precious child has also offended the Spirit Hall, are you?"

"you!"

Tang Hao was speechless after being rebuked. That wasn't what he meant. He meant that Tang San had the potential to help the Clear Sky Sect rise to prominence!

"First place in the Elite Soul Master Tournament is indeed an achievement worth boasting about, Tang Hao. This only proves his past glory, but it's far from enough to make up for your sins."

The second elder appeared more calm and rational. He did not continue to mock, but instead spoke truthfully.

"I know that what my son is doing can't make up for anything, but he has twin martial souls!"

Tang Hao looked intently at the Second Elder, wondering how many twin martial souls there were across the entire continent.

"Twin martial souls? That's quite rare."

The elders were taken aback upon hearing this, and were somewhat surprised.

"The Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor?"

Tang Xiao's gaze was deep. Ah Yin and Tang Hao's child actually had twin martial souls. Their potential was indeed enormous.

"So what?"

The Seventh Elder spoke again, "Twin Martial Souls are nothing! Who has ever successfully cultivated one? What, you're about to die, and you're offering them some half-baked contraption to invest in? Do you think they're idiots?"

"you!"

Tang Hao's eyes widened like saucers as he glared at the Seventh Elder. This bastard kept interrupting him; did he really think he had no temper?!

"Staring at me? What right do you have to stare at me like that!"

The Seventh Elder was furious and kicked Tang Hao away. His son had died because of Tang Hao, and this son of a bitch still dared to glare at him!

"puff--"

Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler.

"Seventh Brother!"

Several elders hurriedly tried to dissuade them, saying that the sect leader was still watching in the main hall of the Haotian Sect, and they would not be able to explain killing Tang Hao to the sect leader, since Tang Hao was, after all, their own brother.

"snort."

The Seventh Elder glared at Tang Hao with an unfriendly expression. Stop pretending to be kind to him and talking about some bullshit twin martial soul. He just wants someone to take over and raise his son, and there's no guarantee he'll even be able to raise him properly.

If the father is an ingrate, what good can the son be?

"Sect Master, Seventh Brother was a bit impulsive, but he didn't mean any harm. Tang Hao came at the worst possible time, just when he was on his deathbed, simply to evoke our pity and sympathy. But such a person is not worthy of sympathy. He has only himself to blame."

The Second Elder said earnestly, "My father has been put in such a state, so my son's situation must be no better. If we hastily agree to Tang Hao's request, we might offend the Spirit Hall or some other force."

If that were the case, it would be like adding insult to injury for the already weakened Haotian Sect.

"Sigh... Tang Hao, I've heard about your son's situation. A few years ago, Yuehua sent someone to deliver a message to me, but we won't go to save your son. I hope you can understand that."

Tang Xiao said with a complicated expression, "Even as the head of a sect, I have no right to give a traitor to the sect special treatment."

"I understand, he should be out of danger for now..."

"If there's no danger, what are you doing here? Get lost."

The Seventh Elder sneered; he found Tang Hao's hypocritical face utterly repulsive.

"Seventh Brother!"

The second elder couldn't help but shout angrily, "This guy keeps interrupting us today!"

"snort."

The Seventh Elder snorted disdainfully and glanced away.

"Tang Hao, continue."

"I hope my son Tang San can serve the sect and make up for my mistakes. This would also inject some fresh blood into the sect. I believe... he can lead the sect to glory!"

After saying all this, Tang Hao was already out of breath.

"Tang Hao!"

The expressions of the four elders other than the Seventh Elder and Tang Xiao changed slightly. They did not expect that Tang Hao would still think of the Haotian Sect when he was dying.

"Hahahaha... Tang Hao, are you still half asleep? Leading the sect to glory, and your son isn't even the sect leader yet!"

The Seventh Elder's face was icy cold. His words made all the elders realize what he meant: "What the hell is he leading the sect? The son of a traitor, does he really want to be the sect leader?"

"You! Cough cough cough..."

Tang Hao was furious. This Seventh Elder was acting like he had lost his son and was constantly going against him.

"What, are you angry because I called you out?"

"I have a heart full of loyalty to my sect; how dare you slander me like this!"

Tang Hao roared, "These short-sighted fools only know how to fight for power!"

His son is a genius, and these people are actually making sarcastic remarks like this, it's infuriating!

"You're full of..."

"That's enough!"

Tang Xiao couldn't listen any longer. A terrifying pressure filled the entire hall, instantly silencing the Seventh Elder.

"Tang Hao did indeed do something to betray the sect, but I trust his character. He wouldn't recommend his son just for the position of sect leader. You all know his abilities; if he says it's possible, then it definitely will!"

"Big brother!"

Tang Hao was moved to tears; his older brother truly understood him!

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your son. Even if he can't lead the sect to its former glory in the future, I will ensure he has enough to eat and wear."

Tang Xiao solemnly promised that he simply couldn't bear Tang Hao's humble demeanor.

"Thank you, brother!"

Tang Hao wept bitterly, for with this, he had one less worry to bear!

"Oh."

The Seventh Elder chuckled and watched quietly as the two brothers put on their melodramatic act.

Although the others looked displeased, they all felt compassion for Tang Hao's plight and did not voice any objections.

"Big brother, there's one more thing..."

With half of his worries resolved, Tang Hao felt a sense of relief, but soon realized he was nearing the end of his life, so he quickly spoke again.

"This is the second one, Tang Hao. You just said there was only one thing."

The Seventh Elder stared coldly at Tang Hao. Sure enough, this traitor was shameless to the extreme.

"Speak, Seventh Elder, Brother Hao's life is nearing its end. Do you still want to dwell on these one or two things?"

Tang Xiao suppressed his complicated emotions and angrily questioned the Seventh Elder.

"Heh, Sect Master, whatever you say is right, I have no objection."

The Seventh Elder didn't say anything more. He didn't believe that this guy, buried up to his neck, could cause any more trouble.
