They could not stand disrespectful young people like her who thought they were invincible just because they were lucky enough to stumble across a divine artifact.
The five of them looked at each other. Xu Guanhai asked again, “When we rushed over, we sensed the presence of a divine artifact. Miss Tang, can you tell us what divine artifact you have on you?”
“Why should I tell you guys?”
This answer caught those people off guard. They didn’t expect her to be so uncooperative since they were here to help her.
“If Miss Tang has any artifacts on you, it’s best to inform the Mystic Society. That way, you won’t have to worry about anyone snatching your artifacts.”
‘Wu Guangbo immediately added, “Say your artifacts got robbed, the Mystic Society will help you find them.”
In real life, Tang Li also exchanged greetings with people from the Mystic Society.
Because she became famous in real life too early and was the head of Taoism, when people from the Mystic Society saw her, regardless of age, they would call her Great Master. No one dared to speak to her like this.
These people obviously felt that she was too young and did not have much ability and that she was only so arrogant because she had a divine artifact.
Thinking of that, Tang Li sneered. “Since I can handle that black flood dragon, do you think I’m worried about someone taking away my artifacts?”
The few of them were even more unhappy upon hearing that response.
“Miss Tang, we’re doing this for your sake. It’s fine if you don’t appreciate it.”
“That’s right. If your artifacts are really robbed by someone, no one will help you to get them back.”
Tang Lilet them say whatever they wanted and did not answer.
Then they changed the subject.
“Miss Tang, how did you seal the entire mountain?”
They felt that she must have done so using a divine artifact.
Tang Li, “With an artifcat”
‘The few of them thought to themselves that it was indeed true. Zhou Hongtai said, “Looks like the artifact on Miss Tang is really powerful. However, before you sealed the mountain, did you check if there were any innocent people on the mountain? Also, this mountain is so big, There should be many
ancestral graves of nearby farmers…”
“Wait, are you saying that I shouldn’t have sealed that mountain but instead I should’ve blown the mountain up and brought destruction to the village.”
“That’s not what we mean.”
“As members of the Mystic Society, we have to take all the factors into consideration when we make a move. That way, we won’t cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary people.”
Tang Li nodded and said, “Hearing that, I’m suddenly very glad that I’m not a member of the Mystic Society. If that is the case, you can just pretend that it wasn’t me who did it. Also, goodbye. I have nothing to say to you guys.”
After saying that, Tang Li left.
Looking at her who left just like that, they were very displeased.
What did this girl mean? They were trying to show her kindness, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even disrespected them!
After Tang Li left, their faces darkened.
Zhou Hongtai shook his head and said regretfully, “I don’t think we need to take her seriously. With her arrogant attitude, someone will naturally teach her to keep a low profile when the time comes.”
‘The others agreed and they started to discuss how to explain what happened in the mountain to the outside world when the time came.
“The commotion here is so huge. It must have alarmed everyone around this mountain. How about this…”
Since Tang Li did not want to explain and clean up the mess, there was no need for them to say anything about her.
Hence, later on, when the seniors from the Mystic Society found out that it was the five Taoists who killed the demons, they specially rewarded them.
As for the outside world, people were told that the mountain was flattened out by a team brought here by the Qi Corp.
As for the daughters of the villagers who were killed by the demon, the people from the Mystic Society comforted them and chanted scriptures for the dead.
In the end, only the people who had been through this together knew the truth. No one else knew that Tang Li was the one who did everything.
First Master Tang’s attitude toward Tang Li also clearly changed.
He looked at her differently now.
After dinner, the two of them sat in the courtyard.
It didn’t rain tonight. There was a big lightbulb outside the door of Mr. Li’s house. In the living room, Mrs. Li was wiping her tears while packing up her daughter’s clothes. The light brightened up the courtyard, and the countryside was very quiet at night.
First Master Tang asked Tang Li, “Li, did you learn this from your father?”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him.
First Master Tang did not look at her. He looked straight ahead as if he was recalling something. “Your father is a unique person. When we were young, your Second Uncle and I were busy studying. He was the most idle one. He didn’t go to school and didn’t see anyone all day. When he was older, he said
that he wouldn’t join the Tang Corp and started traveling around.”
“After that, he got to know your mother and finally settled down for a few years. Unexpectedly, after your mother left, he became a monk and stopped contacting anyone except you.”
‘When Tang Li heard her uncle talk about this father, she felt that he was quite a mysterious person.
At that moment, the sound of a dog barking came from the family in front.
‘Then, an old man’s surprised voice was heard. “Why are you here so late at night? You retarded girl.”
Yu Meng didn’t answer.
Soon, Yu Meng’s figure appeared in front of Mr. Li’s yard.
Yu Meng walked to the courtyard and stopped in her tracks when she saw some bodyguards.
One of the bodyguards walked over and asked, “Miss, what can I do for you?”
“L.. I’m looking for her.” Yu Meng was obviously afraid of the bodyguard, but she still reached out to point at Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“You… Can you save Brother Xuanyuan?”
‘Tang Li looked at Yu Meng and rejected her directly. “I won’t save him.”
“Why?” Tears welled up in Yu Meng’s eyes. “Brother Xuanyuan is a good person. Why don’t you save him?”
“Tsk.” Tang Li looked at the innocent Yu Meng and said, “He was injured by his own dagger. Do you know what material his dagger was made of? Millennium Meteoric Iron. Do you know how much effort I need to put in to save someone wounded by this dagger? Why should I save him since he was so rude
and mean to me.”
A puzzled expression appeared on Yu Meng’s face. The next second, she hurriedly shook her head and said very firmly, “Brother Xuanyuan isn’t like that.”
After saying that, she quickly walked to Tang Li and knelt before her. As she kowtowed, she said, “Pretty Sister, please save Brother Xuanyuan.”
Tang Li glanced at Yu Meng, who was kowtowing to her. She then looked into the distance where a figure was approaching.
