Mi primer marido después de la transmigración

Capítulo 63

The purse in Tang Shijiu's arms was something that all the men and women of the Tang family possessed. The purse had a life-saving elixir sewn into its inner layer, which could cure all poisons. It was a token of love that he had given to Xiyan.

Those white-headed mandarin ducks must have been embroidered by Xiyan.

It turns out she never regretted it.

He actually wanted to tell her that he didn't regret meeting and marrying her, but only regretted letting down his good brother.

Looking at Nineteen's puzzled face, he wanted to do a somersault again. This daughter was very beautiful; her eyebrows and eyes resembled his, and her nose resembled Xi Yan's. Tang Qingliu poured a cup of tea, desperately suppressing his inner excitement, and quickly pondered how to acknowledge her as his daughter.

Tang Shijiu couldn't see the strange uncle's excitement; she only felt that his gaze was becoming increasingly odd. Although she had an instinctive liking for him, she couldn't help but become wary under this strange gaze. So, when Tang Qingliu excitedly grabbed her hand, Tang Shijiu instinctively struck out and punched him in the eye socket.

The handsome young man's face was smudged.

Tang Qingliu crouched on the ground, covering her left eye socket, having calmed down a bit. After all, seventeen years had passed. Putting herself in her shoes, she couldn't stand it when someone suddenly jumped out and said, "Hey girl, I'm your father." Thinking of her master from nineteen, she couldn't help but feel even more doubtful.

Tang Shijiu looked at Tang Qingliu warily, seriously suspecting that the reason this guy was locked up here was because he had gone mad.

“I’m not crazy,” Tang Qingliu clearly knew what she was thinking. He stood up and tried his best to put on the gentlest, kindest, and most benevolent smile. Hmm, how should a father smile at his daughter? He couldn’t smile too flirtatiously, that would look like he was flirting; he couldn’t smile too blandly, that would look like he was just playing around; he couldn’t smile exaggeratedly, that would be scary. After thinking it over, Tang Qingliu realized that he had somehow forgotten how to smile. He tried to calm his agitated emotions, repeatedly telling himself to take it step by step, slowly, to cultivate a better relationship with his daughter first, and then acknowledge her as his daughter.

Tang Qingliu smiled casually: "Nineteen, I am an old friend of your master. I am very happy to see you today. I was so excited that I got a little carried away. Come here and let me see what kind of kung fu you have learned over the years."

Nineteen was still somewhat skeptical, but Tang Qingliu had already taken her pulse without saying a word. Firstly, he wanted to test her martial arts foundation; secondly, he also wanted to know the true identity of that master.

When he released his hand, a smile was on his face: "Nineteen, if anyone talks to you about the Tuanfu Heart Method again in the future, you can't say you don't know it."

Nineteen was stunned, completely dumbfounded.

Overnight, Shen Yuntan disappeared without a trace.

She transformed into the Tuanfu Heart Method—oh no, it was her martial arts that became the Tuanfu Heart Method.

Tang Qingliu laughed inscrutably: "The Tuanfu Mind Method originates from the book 'Nanhua Jing' by the True Man of Nanhua, which emphasizes a straightforward and pure nature. Its wonder lies in the skill of borrowing strength; too much internal energy can actually be an obstacle. Your master's internal energy is too great, and his nature is rather introverted, so he has never been able to grasp the true essence of the method. No wonder he taught you in such a haphazard way. Ah, but now it's different. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury, hahahahahaha."

Tang Shijiu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Tang Qingliu, who was so excited that he was rambling incoherently, finally realized his mistake: "No, no, no, I have made progress today."

Seeing that Nineteen still had some doubts, he waved his hand: "I know you want to ask about your master, but it's not easy to explain now. Anyway, remember what I said, practice accordingly, and with your foundation and comprehension, you will definitely achieve something. Hmm, it seems you've been poisoned by the Hundred-Day Su, but it doesn't matter, it's even better. Without internal energy, you can better experience the essence of the Tuanfu Heart Method. Ahahahahaha, my daughter, Tang Qingliu's..." He was so proud that he almost said "daughter" again, and quickly changed the name, "female disciple, must not be underestimated by outsiders."

Tang Shijiu reminded him, "I am not your apprentice."

He waved his hand haphazardly: "It's alright, it's alright, come, come, I'll tell you the wonderful method. Didn't you say that a little girl bullied you today and got really cocky? Let me give you some pointers, and when we get back, you'll teach her a lesson she won't be able to stand a chance!"

As Tang Qingliu spoke, without waiting for Tang Shijiu's agreement, he meticulously explained the key points of the Mind-Strengthening Technique. Tang Shijiu's temperament was naturally compatible with this technique, and she was also extremely intelligent and quick-witted, so she immediately grasped its essence. An hour later, Tang Qingliu stretched and said, "Alright, don't bite off more than you can chew. I'll tell you this much for today. Come see me again tomorrow when you have some free time, but don't tell anyone about me."

Tang Shijiu practiced the technique and found it refreshing. Although she had no internal energy, she could find ways to leverage her strength everywhere.

The essence of the roc described in Zhuangzi, which soars ninety thousand miles into the sky, reaching the North Sea and the South Sea, and is omnipresent, lies in borrowing power rather than in itself.

Tang Qingliu led Nineteen to a door: "Go out from here and you'll find the main study. Be quiet and don't let anyone see you." He patted Nineteen's head: "Good child, remember to come back tomorrow. Once you've mastered this essential knowledge, let's see who dares to bully my darling..." It took a lot of effort to swallow the word "daughter," but the price for swallowing it back was a big eye roll.

Tang Shijiu walked to the door, then suddenly turned back: "You opened that door in the well for me today, didn't you? Thank you for saving me."

Tang Qingliu was stunned. He had heard that someone had fallen into the well and was hoping that someone would come and say a few words to him to relieve his boredom before killing him. He never expected that the person he would save would be his own daughter.

Fate played a cruel trick on him, and by sheer coincidence, he was moved to tears and decided to start eating vegetarian food tomorrow.

It was late at night when Tang Shijiu left the study. She tiptoed towards her bedroom, avoiding everyone's attention. As soon as she left the flower garden, she heard Tang Chongli's cries echoing in the distance. Although she had lost her internal energy, she had just begun to grasp the essence of the Body Strengthening Technique, so her senses were sharp.

He couldn't help but frown. Why was this guy still here? He quietly went around to the main hall to check and was surprised to find that not only Tang Chongli was there, but Tang Yu had also returned.

Tang Chongli's hair was disheveled, her left arm was covered in blood, and Tang Yu held a longsword in his hand, the tip of the sword trembling, with blood droplets still dripping from it.

Tang Chongli threw a tantrum, rolling on the ground: "If you have the guts, kill me! Kill me, and let's see how Grandpa deals with you. I was the one who pushed that bitch down there, so what? I'm the eldest daughter of the Tang family. You hurt me today, but you'll regret it later!"

Having caused Tang Shijiu's death, she was initially filled with remorse and fear, but dared not return to face the blame, so she could only hide in this villa. Unexpectedly, when Tang Yu returned at night and learned that Tang Shijiu had been pushed into the well, this usually docile and obedient carp turned into a shark in the sea, pouncing on her and stabbing her with a sword.

If she hadn't invoked the family rules in time to awaken Tang Yu's rationality, she might have cleaved her own head with the next sword strike!

Tang Yu remained silent, his body trembling slightly, clearly suppressing immense anger and sorrow. He was facing the direction of Nineteen, who could clearly see the tears on his face.

"The Tang family's assassins don't shed tears! You actually cried for her, hahaha! That's hilarious! You're not even a man, and you don't even fancy her! Is it because no man is interested in your face that you've started to like women?" Tang Chongli knew Tang Yu wouldn't really kill her; the first rule of the Tang Clan was that one must not harm the Tang Clan's master. Tang Chongli was the young lady, while Tang Yu was just a lowly assassin.

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared, and a large patch of her hair was cut off.

Tang Yu gritted his teeth: "If you insult Nineteen again, I will kill you immediately."

"You dare?"

"You can try." If it weren't for the rules etched into his bones, Tang Yu would have killed Nineteen the moment he learned she had been buried in the abandoned well. At this moment, his mind was blank, unsure whether he should kill the woman to avenge Nineteen, or report to the sect leader first according to the rules.

Her actions preceded hers; by the time she realized what was happening, Tang Chongli had already injured her left arm.

Tang Chongli sneered. "You're just a servant, yet you're putting on airs. If your face weren't so badly injured, you'd be learning seduction techniques to seduce men like the other assassins. Tsk tsk tsk, so you crave men so much that you know you're not beautiful, so you start seducing women? That bitch is bisexual!" Threatened by her servant's retort, she spoke recklessly in her anger, completely losing her composure as a young lady.

Tang Yu gasped, no longer hesitating. At worst, he would kill this shrew to pay with his life! With a flash of his longsword, he was already pointing towards Tang Chongli's throat.

Chapter Forty: Old Stories

A small, delicate stone blocked Tang Yu's longsword. Tang Shijiu emerged from the doorway and clapped his hands: "Yu Yu, I'm so touched."

Tang Yu was dumbfounded, Tang Chongli was stunned, and the two of them looked at Tang Shijiu as if she were a demon.

Then, Tang Chongli burst into tears, even before Tang Yu could react, and hugged Tang Shijiu tightly, wiping her face with tears and snot: "Tang Shijiu, Tang Shijiu, you're not dead, you're not dead."

Tang Shijiu was at a loss for words, bewildered by the young lady's unpredictable moods. After a long while, he finally said, "I'm not dead, so why are you so sad?"

Tang Chongli grabbed her sleeve and blew her nose hard: "If you die, I'll be in big trouble. Second Grandfather and Third Grandfather will definitely kill me."
