"Hahahaha, well, well, let's stop then." Elder Xie said after hearing his granddaughter complain.
Xie Meiyu then gave a visible sigh and sat down beside Tang Yin.
"Grandfather, Tang Yin doesn't have much time to stay. This time he came undercover as he already told you a while ago, he's coming to help me with several things." Xie Meiyu said, and soon, the countenance of the three was serious.
They had to talk the important things. Therefore, Elder Xie nodded.
Then he looked at Tang Yin.
"You can call me Old Xie or Old Taimu, Grandfather can also be if you want, haha." He said, and Tang Yin nodded.
He was not polite and took the moment to approach this old man, "Since you are Meiyu's grandfather, then I will call you Grandpa Xie from now on. As Meiyu says..." Tang Yin said, and just as he was planning to continue, Xie Taimu stopped him.
Then he looked at Xie Meiyu, "Meiyu, go prepare some snacks. I'll show some things to my new grandson in the meantime." He said, and Xie Meiyu nodded.
Although she was puzzled by this, she still heeded and went to do so.
After that, Xie Taimu looked at Tang Yin.
"Boy, Meiyu has told me several things about you and told me that you are very talented in every way. Today I witnessed your talent for cultivation and I can sense that you have an elder token of the association inside you, it seems that you are also very talented in alchemy." He said with a beaming smile on his face, and Tang Yin nodded.
He took out his elder token and showed it to him. Xie Taimu nodded at the sight of it.
"High-level token, not bad, kid. At your age, I wasn't that good, but considering that, according to Meiyu, it was only recently that you were able to start cultivating... I think you're a monster at this." He said as he looked at the token from side to side and looked at Tang Yin out of the corner of his eye.
He was trying to test it, and Tang Yin could only smile.
"Grandpa Xie, I can't be modest about this. Certainly, I have a high talent for many things. But that doesn't mean anything right now. After all, can't I die in one blow currently? Even if you wanted to, you could assassinate me in an instant." Tang Yin replied smiling, and Xie Taimu nodded.
"At some point, we were all like that, kid. At some point I could have died of a stroke too; we all went through the same thing. That's why those of us who made it to the top have a lot of merit because we did it with our efforts. Besides, even at the top, we are not exempt from dying from a blow. There are beasts that can easily assassinate us or even other cultivators."
"That's why, as elders, we must protect the young people who have talent, so that humanity won't be exterminated." He said and looked at Tang Yin.
The smile on his face was one of happiness. The more he saw Tang Yin, the more he realized that he liked this boy.
Talented and calm, he didn't seem like the type to get angry easily.
"And I can see that you, not only are you talented in an absurd way, but you also have the guts that every cultivator needs. I don't know who gave you the guts to come in here like that, but I can only praise you for that. You've surprised me this time." Xie Taimu said smiling, and after saying this, he took out a small recording token and handed it to her.
"In this token explains everything we are doing in detail; you can listen to it later when you have time. For now, you just need to know that neither I nor my children, plan to give Meiyu to those bastards. She is free to choose who she wants to follow and who will be her husband, this is something we have been clear about since her birth.
If she chose you, so be it, we can start thinking about the wedding. The problem is that there is a part of the clan that does agree with this, they have also done a lot for the clan."
"What's more, unanimously, her mother's entire family is in agreement with the wedding. Even the Tower of Alchemists and the two Supreme Leaders sent us a congratulatory message on the engagement, which reveals that they both agree, and that puts us in a difficult situation.
Being associated with the Tower, we are a Tower Family and we follow the two Supreme Leaders, it is difficult to refuse what they both ask for."
"So, when Meiyu told us her idea, we decided to use it to destabilize the region. But..." He said and then paused as he frowned, and Tang Yin nodded as he listened this far.
He finished what Xie Taimu planned to say.
"But, it's hard to do so. After all, the Divine Sun Hall is too powerful and ambitious, they have eyes everywhere, right?" Tang Yin said, and Xie Taimu, though surprised by his vision, nodded.
Tang Yin then frowned.
"Does the association think that it has no problem against the Divine Sun Hall? Do you think that, with the ambition of this force, it won't come after you?" Tang Yin suddenly asked.
Xie Taimu frowned slightly but nodded.
"The two Leaders believe that there is nothing to fear because of all the history that the association with the Sun Hall has. You should know, thousands of years ago, the Divine Sun Hall was saved by our association from certain destruction." He said, and Tang Yin nodded.
He had read something about it among some books he got in the alchemy room in his courtyard.
"That's why you rely so much on the Sun Hall, but this one is not as reliable as it appears. The change in my daughter-in-law confirms it to me." He replied.
"Daughter-in-law? Meiyu's mother?" Tang Yin asked doubtfully, and he nodded but diverted the topic elsewhere.
"Boy, the organization was formed only recently, so it doesn't have much power. But, thanks to the techniques you gave Meiyu, we've been able to see a lot of progress. The truth is that we have a lot of people in different empires, it is already an organization with more than 2,000 people being trained." He said and then pulled out a large map of this continental region.
"After the battle of the great sects, we will possibly have over 20,000 cultivators. During those days, we will start to raise wars in different parts, all over this region. The facade is to seek to take control of these empires, but those empires must be defended by the Sun Hall." He said and then pointed to another point.
"While we used our major force to attack various points in this area, it's central part as you can see. But it has an entrance from the outside through this area." He said and started showing different entry points that, even Tang Yin had ignored.
Then Xie Taimu looked up and stared at him.
"If you can help us from the outside, I can assure you that I will deliver the Xie Family to you safe and sound, for you to continue it together with Meiyu. Whether it's in the northwest or wherever you want to settle. But, the Xie Family will not bow to the Sun Hall." He replied firmly.
Tang Yin was shocked by different things upon hearing and seeing this.
