Celestial 'War God' Return

Murong Xianyin nodded in satisfaction at Tang Xiao’s calmness when facing three cultivators far stronger than him. Even though his cultivation was still low and he was also much younger than Situ Lingxi, she felt that he was much better than Sun Weitian.

Dugu Xinyue was also quite satisfied with Tang Xiao, and she felt that he was already accustomed to facing his future in-laws, so he could act so calmly in front of them. She never looked down on cultivators from ordinary backgrounds like him because she herself was only a member of the Dugu branch clan, and she had no status before marrying her husband.

On the contrary, Situ Chengyan was dissatisfied with Tang Xiao, and he looked a little angry when he looked at him. First, he had a relationship with Situ Lingxi, even though he knew that his granddaughter was Sun Weitian’s fiancée. Second, he infiltrated the Situ Clan without anyone noticing, including him, which proved that security in his clan wasn’t as good as he had imagined.

’I didn’t expect Situ Chengyan’s cultivation to have already reached the Lower Saint Level, making him as powerful as Huangfu Lingxuan. Besides, Murong Xianyin and Dugu Xinyue’s cultivation has already reached the Peak Tyrant Level, and the latter will probably break through to the Saint Level in the near future.’ Tang Xiao took out three bottles containing three sets of basic pills and handed them to them. "Three seniors, I prepared these pills as gifts for our first meeting, so I hope you will accept them."

"Pills?" Murong Xianyin unceremoniously received one bottle and poured the pills into her palm. Her eyes instantly went wide after she saw the pills, mainly because of their rank and purity. "This! Where did you get these pills?"

Looking at the pills in Murong Xianyin’s palm, Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue poured the pills from the bottle into their hands. Their ranks and purity made them take a deep breath and look at Tang Xiao in shock. Although the Situ Clan was one of the prominent clans in the Canglan Realm, such pills were extremely rare and difficult to obtain.

Situ Lingxi looked at the pills in their hands calmly, but she also felt shocked in her heart because Tang Xiao had so many high-rank pills, and he gave them to her family just like that. ’It seems there are still a lot of things I don’t know about him.’

"To be honest, my late master concocted these pills himself, and he bequeathed them all to me." Murong Xianyin wanted to ask Tang Xiao, but he immediately interrupted her. "Senior, my late master was an elusive person, and he didn’t like appearing in public, so you probably haven’t heard of his name. In fact, he didn’t tell me his real name, and he asked me to address him as master."

Situ Chengyan put all the pills into a bottle and asked Tang Xiao, "Since your late master could concoct so many high-rank pills, his alchemy skills must have reached a high level in the past. Besides, his cultivation should have reached a high level before he died, so I’m curious about how he died."

"Senior, my master died because he sacrificed himself for me." Tang Xiao’s words shocked the four people, but then he took out a device and displayed the incident in the ravine. "Back then, I wasn’t a cultivator yet, and several people ganged up on me before throwing me into the ravine. Fortunately, my late master was nearby at the time, and he saved me from that place. I don’t know my master’s true reason for saving me because he was gone when I woke up, and he didn’t leave any message for me."

On the screen, the four people could see that Tang Xiao was dying, and he shouldn’t have survived after falling into such a deep ravine if it weren’t for his late master.

Situ Lingxi interlocked her fingers with Tang Xiao; she never thought that he would experience such an incident in the past.

Situ Chengyan released a soft sigh. "Your master is such a selfless person, kid. If I were in his position, I wouldn’t have saved you from that ravine, let alone sacrificed myself for you. After all, I have a family, and I’m responsible for protecting them, so I won’t sacrifice them to save a stranger."

"I understand that, Senior," Tang Xiao replied with a smile. "After all, our family is far more important than a stranger, and we can’t possibly sacrifice them for one."

"That’s right." Situ Chengyan nodded. "As humans and powerful cultivators, it’s our duty to help others. However, our family will always be the most important part of our lives, and their safety is our top priority."

Tang Xiao smiled. "I agree with you, Senior. To me, my family is the most important thing in my life, and I will do anything to protect them."

"How did you meet my granddaughter, Little Xiao?" Dugu Xinyue couldn’t help but ask because she was familiar with Situ Lingxi’s character.

Tang Xiao glanced at Situ Lingxi, who turned her head to the side in embarrassment. Her reaction didn’t escape the eyes of the three seniors, and they could guess that something had happened between them before they were together.

"To be honest, my first meeting with Situ Lingxi was unpleasant, Senior." Situ Lingxi squeezed Tang Xiao’s fingers, signaling him not to tell her family the truth. "She was jealous of my wife, and she intended to do bad things to her."

Murong Xianyin, Situ Chengyan, and Dugu Xinyue stared at Tang Xiao with darkened faces. They felt uncomfortable because he already had a wife, but he still approached Situ Lingxi.

Situ Lingxi sighed inwardly before speaking to them. "You might not believe it, but Tang Xiao’s wife is superior to me in every aspect, and Mu Qingge makes me feel inferior to her."

Murong Xianyin, Situ Chengyan, and Dugu Xinyue were shocked to hear that. They knew that Situ Lingxi was a proud woman, and she never felt inferior to other women, but she suddenly said that she felt inferior to Tang Xiao’s wife.

"Is Mu Qingge really an extraordinary woman, Lingxi?" Murong Xianyin curiously asked, and she wanted to see the woman who made her proud daughter feel inferior.

Situ Lingxi turned to Tang Xiao. "Why don’t you show them her picture?"

"Alright." Tang Xiao changed the image displayed on the device, and he displayed Mu Qingge’s image on it.

"Such a beautiful girl!" Dugu Xinyue muttered in admiration. "Her face is much prettier than you, and her figure is more mature than you, Lingxi. Her calm demeanor is inversely proportional to your arrogant demeanor; it wouldn’t be wrong if you said that she exceeds you in all aspects."

Situ Lingxi pouted her lips. "How can you say something like that, Grandma? I’m your dearest granddaughter, so you should be on my side."

"Haha," Dugu Xinyue laughed. "Even though you are my dearest granddaughter, I have to speak truthfully about everything, and Mu Qingge surpasses you in everything."

"Do you also agree with my grandmother, Mother?" Situ Lingxi sought support from Murong Xianyin.

However, Situ Lingxi had to swallow a bitter pill because Murong Xianyin agreed with Dugu Xinyue. "Lingxi, I always thought that you were the best woman of your generation, but Mu Qingge’s appearance has completely shattered my opinion. She far surpassed you in every aspect, especially her demeanor."

"Ugh!" Situ Lingxi stomped her feet angrily. "What about you, Grandpa?"

"Cough... Cough..." Situ Chengyan coughed deliberately. "Since your grandmother said that Mu Qingge is better than you, I have to agree with her."

"Humph!" Situ Lingxi snorted. "You are such a henpecked husband, Grandfather!"

Situ Chengyan spread his arms. "A wife’s happiness is the family’s happiness, so I won’t argue with your grandmother."

Tang Xiao smiled amusedly after hearing that; he didn’t expect that Situ Chengyan was such a person. ’This old man is really interesting.’

"Tch!" Situ Lingxi gritted her teeth.

Murong Xianyin shook her head at her daughter’s expression. "Going back to the beginning, what did Little Xiao mean by saying you were trying to harm Mu Qingge?"

"Have you forgotten Sun Weitian’s character, Mother?"

"Of course not."

Situ Lingxi sighed. "When we met Mu Qingge outside the forest, Sun Weitian instantly fell for her beauty, and he wanted her, which fueled my jealousy. That’s why I ordered my bodyguards to capture her, but Tang Xiao realized my intentions, and he took her far away from me."

Murong Xianyin, Situ Chengyan, and Dugu Xinyue were speechless because Situ Lingxi always reacted that way regarding Sun Weitian. "Then?"

Situ Lingxi recounted everything to them from beginning to end, but she didn’t tell them that she peeped on Tang Xiao and Mu Qingge having sex in the forest because it was too mortifying for her. "From that day on, Qingge and I slowly became close friends, and I’m grateful that she doesn’t hold a grudge against me."

"Then, how did you get together with Little Xiao?" Dugu Xinyue asked. "I don’t believe that you suddenly fell in love with him for no apparent reason, and I’m sure something must have happened between you two before."

"There was something going on between us before I decided to be with Tang Xiao, but I won’t tell you all about it." Judging from Situ Lingxi’s embarrassed expression, the three of them could more or less guess what had happened between them. "By the way, he discovered that the female spider beast had captured Sun Weitian, and he immediately led us away from her nest."

Situ Chengyan looked at Tang Xiao. "What happened to Sun Weitian, Little Xiao?"

"Senior, Sun Weitian won’t survive because the female spider beast is absorbing his qi to increase her own strength, and he will die at her hands soon." Situ Chengyan put on a serious expression after Tang Xiao said that. "That female spider beast’s cultivation is at the Peak Tyrant Level, and we are not her opponents, so I took Situ Lingxi and the others away from that area."
