Tang Yuehua's expression also underwent a subtle change, "Elder brother, I somewhat understand your feelings."
Tang Xiao chose not to waste more time on this topic, interrupting, "Alright, let's discuss this later. First, let's settle Brother Hao, the backlash from his Broken Ring is quite significant!"
Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, "Then I'll inform the other Elders of this news."
Tang Xiao did not object, but reminded her, "By the way, don't tell them Brother Hao is in a weak state, otherwise, someone might have some ideas!"
In the past, they didn't act rashly against Tang Hao because his strength was much more formidable!
But if they knew he was in a weakened state, who knows if they might act secretly!
Tang Yuehua saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, elder brother, I am aware, I won't say things I shouldn't."
After speaking, she turned and left...
Tang Xiao also restrained his gaze, carrying Tang Hao deeper into the Hao Tian Clan...
Seeing this, the leading disciple waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone stop watching, return to your positions. If anyone dares to slack off, they'll be expelled from the sect!"
As soon as he said this, the other disciples also restrained their gaze and returned to their respective duties...
...
A few days later, we see Tang Hao lying on the bed, coughing violently...
"Cough cough cough"
Then, he slowly opened his eyes...
Seeing this, Tang Xiao couldn't help but complain, "Brother Hao, you finally woke up. Otherwise, your elder brother and sister would have stayed here indefinitely."
Beside him, Tang Yuehua gently scolded, "Elder brother, don't say such things. It's good that Brother Hao was able to awaken."
Tang Hao rubbed his painfully throbbing head and asked, "Elder brother, Yuehua, where is this place?"
Tang Xiao patiently explained, "Don't you remember? This is the Hao Tian Clan. Before you fainted, I brought you back here."
Hearing this, Tang Hao began to forcefully recall...
Finally, he managed to piece together fragments...
Then, with a complicated expression, he said, "Elder brother, Yuehua, during this time, I've troubled you."
Tang Xiao shook his head, sighing, "It's not really trouble; it's just that, seeing you not wake up, we didn't dare leave. Someone had to stay."
"After all, if those Elders found an opportunity, in your current state, you wouldn't even know how you met your end!"
Tang Yuehua nodded in agreement, "Yes, Brother Hao, only when we saw you wake up, we could be at ease."
"Is that so..."
Tang Hao pressed his lips together, saying nothing more...
Tang Xiao interrupted his silence, "Brother Hao, what do you plan to do next?"
"I... I don't know either."
After speaking, Tang Hao covered his face in agony, as if he didn't want anyone to see his expression...
Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua exchanged a glance, understanding why he was like this...
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuehua spoke in an apologetic tone, "Brother Hao, not being able to keep Tang San on the right path, it's all because of me."
If back then, she could have protected Tang San from being driven away by the royal household, perhaps he wouldn't have joined the Martial Soul Hall...
But Tang Hao shook his head, "Yuehua, it's not your fault. Blame me, this father, for raising such a rebellious child."
Before, he would blame Tang Yuehua for leading Tang San to join the Martial Soul Hall!
But after his last conversation with Tang San, he realized he was completely wrong!
This child was simply a thankless wretch!
Tang Xiao furrowed his brow, "Brother Hao, if Ah Yin were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want to see you like this."
Tang Hao stopped his actions, then in a tone full of despair said, "But, now I really don't know what to do?"
Though I've survived...
Yet I have nothing, it's the same as being dead!
Hearing this, a trace of harshness appeared in Tang Xiao's eyes...
It seems, Tang San, that little beast, has become Brother Hao's heart demon!
If he isn't killed, Brother Hao might drown in sorrow forever...
Immediately, he spoke, "Brother Hao, isn't your goal to eliminate Tang San? Your elder brother will help you."
Tang Yuehua was shocked, urgently stopping him, "Elder brother, what are you saying?"
Yet Tang Xiao spoke earnestly, "I'm not talking nonsense. Brother Hao raised such a rebellious child who tarnished his name and the entire Hao Tian Clan!"
"Such a person, must not be left alive!"
Tang Yuehua still wanted to say something, but was stopped by his gaze...
Then, she fell silent...
If killing Tang San is the only way to awaken Tang Hao...
Elder brother might stop at nothing to achieve it!
But Tang Hao quickly rejected, "Elder brother... let's not involve the Hao Tian Clan in this matter, I already owe the sect too much."
Last time, it was to save Tang San that led to the sect losing many disciples!
Their lives are lives too!
Tang Xiao, however, said indubitably, "It's precisely because Tang San caused the deaths of so many Hao Tian Clan disciples, we need to sacrifice him for them!"
"Do you still harbor any fatherly love for that beast in your heart, Brother Hao?"
Tang Hao paused for a moment...
Previously in his conversation with Tang San, he lost reason and wanted to kill him!
But now, calm and collected, could he really bear to do such a thing?
More importantly, when he used the Broken Ring, could the goal truly have been to kill Tang San, when relying solely on that Magic Bear?"
The answer is no!
In his heart, there still wasn't a real intent to kill Tang San!
Or rather, this thought wasn't firm!
Thinking of this, he spoke with difficulty, "Elder brother, although Tang San..."
However, Tang Xiao's expression changed, mercilessly chastising, "Enough, Brother Hao, don't be naïve. Now, in Tang San's eyes, there's probably only the Worship Hall, as for you, his father, he has long regarded you as an enemy!"
If he maintains this mindset, he'll likely die at Tang San's hands in the future!
And this is probably what those guys at the Worship Hall want to see!
Having come to this point, Tang Yuehua also braced herself to advise, "Brother Hao, although I have no right to say this, Tang San has changed."
"He is no longer the sincere and kind child he once was!"
"You ought to make a decision early, lest when facing him again, you'll be at a loss!"
Tang Hao turned to look, "Yuehua, do you think so too?"
Perhaps, I truly am too indecisive, unable to let go of that rebellious son even now!
Finally, after much inner struggle, he made a decision...
"Elder brother, Yuehua, you're right, Tang San has changed, no longer the Tang San he was."
"What I should do now, is to give it my all, and send him away!!"
