Tang Zuelo knew that she should be concerned for her daughter, whom she painfully gave birth to herself, but all she could feel was a relief.
Deep down she knew that she had already lost her precious daughter back in the elven territory and whoever that came back with her was no longer her daughter. She was simply pure evil.
Not that Tang Zuelo herself was a saint, but compared to the current Tang Xi, she very well might be.
She didn't know where Tang Xi had disappeared to, but she had no intention of looking for her.
But surprisingly, Tang Xi hadn't really gone that far.
She had only gone back to Eldoria, the place where she was tortured and almost killed.
She went back to the same elves who had ruined her and broken her apart.
Marvin was no doubt utterly shocked when he saw Tang Xi standing in front of him again, but he didn't feel any pity or sympathy for her.
Of course, he knew what Darius had done to her.
But he only looked at her with extreme disdain, as if she was a piece of rotten meat, a dirty thing not even worthy of being in his vicinity.
Tang Xi, however, didn't care.
She heard everything that had happened and volunteered herself to go look for Tang Yue and bring her back as a prisoner.
She was dying to present Tang Yue to Darius so that he could treat Tang Yue in the same way that he had treated her.
She wanted her to feel the same pain and go through the same torture.
Why was it that she alone had to suffer through such an unimaginable plight while her useless sister was celebrated and pampered?
She detested Tang Yue from the bottom of her heart.
Since she was deeply disturbed and in truth powerless to fight against the elves, who were the real reason behind her misery, Tang Xi put all the blame on Tang Yue.
Though completely irrational and illogical, Tang Xi had already singled her out as the reason for everything that went wrong.
And Tang Yue was only the beginning. Tang Xi was resolved to pay back the elves for every single blow that she had suffered.
However, when he heard her resolute words, Marvin only sneered in contempt.
"You couldn't even protect yourself and was played like a toy by a hundred men. How are you going to accomplish something like this?" He openly insulted her without any mercy.
A person's soul strength and mental strength were difficult to comprehend by an outsider, especially when they were purposefully subdued.
So Marvin had no idea that Tang Xi had already stepped into the Demi-God realm.
He had his own plans and since he couldn't openly send out his elven lackeys to hunt for Tang Yue, he hired the two most famous black market assassins, Gale and Ginko, to do the job instead.
He only allowed Tang Xi to go with them as an afterthought, so that the two goblins could have a servant and someone to play with if they get bored on the mission.
Tang Xi, as well, knew and understood all of this, but she didn't say anything from the start to the finish.
She willingly took in all the insults thrown at her without saying anything in return and she silently went with the two goblins.
Gale and Ginko, however, were slightly more intuitive than Marvin.
They could clearly feel the evil violent killing intent seeping from Tang Xi, even crawling on their skin at times when they stood too close to her.
So they avoided her like plague, let alone think of playing with her or treating her like a servant.
They didn't even dare behave rudely to her.
They didn't know why one sister was hell-bent on making the other sister's life miserable and they didn't plan on intervening in this family feud.
As far as the mission was concerned, they decided to simply accompany the woman and make sure that she was successful in the end.
All they had to do was confirm the kill or the imprisonment and their task would be completed.
And so, the two goblins silently allowed Tang Xi to lead the hunt for the infamous Tang Yue.
They had at first tried tracking her using the details of the disguise rune that the royal family gifted Tang Yue, but that lead was fruitless.
They were unable to recover any hints regarding Tang Yue's whereabouts.
So they started pointlessly roaming around different dwarven villages and learned everything they could about the rules and regulations in the Dwarven Empire.
They had also heard about this blacksmithing contest and how in order to learn smithing one needed to be accepted as an apprentice.
Tang Xi instantly could tell that this is where Tang Yue would probably be.
She knew that her capable sister, by now, would have already reached this point.
In the past, she had always underestimated Tang Yue and she had already paid a heavy price for that mistake.
She would be a fool to do the same even now. She understood very well that Tang Yue only looked harmless but in reality, she was the most cunning and scheming slut.
Since she was capable enough to seduce the Crown Prince of Eldoria, Tang Xi had no doubt that she would have done the same in the Dwarven Empire as well.
She would have most definitely cozied up to someone with power and influence, learned everything from them, and would definitely be participating in this contest.
So the two goblins, Gale and Ginko and Tang Xi reached the Dwarven Empire on the very first day of the contest and scanned the crowd thoroughly for any signs of their target.
At the first glance, they weren't able to notice anything out of place. So Gale and Ginko were slightly worried.
However, Tang Xi still remained calm and confident. She had no doubt that her sister would be here.
She was also certain that they didn't even have to look for her. She would most definitely stand out and reveal herself to them.
Tang Xi knew that Tang Yue's personality was like that.
"That hateful bitch always stands out where ever she goes." Tang Xi hissed under her breath, comfortably sitting down in a corner of the crowd.
