Old Xie looked at Xiao Ruyue seriously, as if he wanted to see through her from head to toe.

After a long while, he caressed his mustache and turned towards Wenshansu Xiao Hanwen in satisfaction, "Your daughter is quite sensible. "Little girl, this old man approves of you."

"Why would my wife need your approval?" Yuwen He supported Xiao Ruyue and protected her in his arms like a protector. He was not the least bit polite to his master, as if he was afraid that someone would bully his precious flesh and blood.

Old mister Xie puffed at his beard and glared at him. "You little bastard, I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened that year. Why don't you just settle it with my old man first?" I have yet to expel you from my sect. Be careful of my family's laws! "

Yuwen He shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "The number one rule of our sect is to not cheat. When you play chess, you often regret over the game, right?"

Old Mr. Xie was so angry that he immediately turned around.

Xiao Ruyue's eyes widened.

How could this be counted as a good reason for him to make a move?

Yuwen He smiled at her as if to say: It's alright, this old man doesn't have any worries.

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yuwen He turned around and looked at the Tang Clan Master who was still waiting for him, and pulled Xiao Ruyue up to him: "Uncle, I have brought the person you wanted to meet."

"What a beautiful girl." The Tang Clan Master, Old Mr. Tang, sized Xiao Ruyue up before ordering the Tang Clan disciples that were serving him to go to the inner room to retrieve an item.

Tang Waner was still standing at the side, dressed in her male attire, the Tang Clan Master glanced at her and said: "I will settle this score with you later."

Tang Waner was terrified.

The young man went and came back with a small box the size of a jewel box in his hand.

The master of the Tang clan held it in his hands and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he sighed and called out to Xiao Ruyue, "Girl, the things inside are for you."

"For me?" Xiao Ruyue was at a loss.

"Yes."

The Tang Clan Lord handed the item over to Xiao Ruyue. Xiao Ruyue hesitated as she accepted it, but she did not open it.

"Don't you know what it is?"

Xiao Ruyue paused for a moment, then said: "Uncle, to not accept a favor without a reason, there must be a reason for giving this thing to me right?"

The Tang Clan Head was immediately amused by her. "Well said, of course there's a reason for me to give it to you."

He paused for a bit as he spoke, his gaze however drifted towards Yuwen He and Yuwen Xiao, and then met Xiao Ruyue's gaze.

"The items in this small box were left behind by Yuchan before she passed away. At that time, she was already very ill. She entrusted King Qi to look for me, hoping that I would keep the things in this place for her. In the future, if her two sons are able to get married and have children, the contents will be handed over to their wives as a family heirloom. "

Xiao Ruyue looked at the object in her hand, then looked up at Yuwen He. He smiled faintly, "Since mother left it for my son's wife, then we shall keep it."

Xiao Ruyue found it funny and finally opened the small box to take a look.

This small box looked simple on the outside, but inside, it was weirdly separated into two halves. The left and right were exactly the same, and even the things inside were exactly the same.

The hairpin, bracelet, and two identical jade plates.

No, the jade medallion looked exactly the same, but the words on it were different.

The one on the left had the word "He" engraved on it, the one on the right had the word "Ruoyun" carved on it.

Xiao Ruyue placed the small box into Yuwen He's hands, picked up the two jade plates and studied them carefully, then placed the "He" character on the jade plates around her waist.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Ruyue held onto the small box and thought for a moment, then said: "Since there are two of them, the other one is for the Great General. "General, let your sister-in-law take care of this for you. How about I give it to you on the day of your marriage?"

The general's lips moved a few times before he said listlessly, "Sister-in-law shall decide."

Xiao Ruyue placed the jade tablet with the word "Ning Xi" on top of his palm, "I'll take care of the others for you. Take care of this piece yourself, don't lose it before you give it to the person you want to give it to."

These words had a hidden meaning within them.

Yuwen Xiao understood tacitly, and after thanking him, he kept the jade plate.

When she turned to the side, she sneaked a glance at Tang Waner.

Although Tang Waner was slow on the uptake, but when she looked over, the Great General's gaze had already turned.

Tch, this person was really awkward.

and Xiao Ruyue's case could be considered as over.

The Tang Clan Master no longer had a loving attitude as his face turned slightly serious. He shouted in a deep voice, "Tang Waner, do you admit your wrongs?!"

Tang Waner was immediately terrified, "Great Granduncle, I …"

"I told you before that you are not to wander around after nightfall. Why did you say that you were not going to listen?"

"I, I didn't either!"

"That's enough. You don't need to say it. Since you've completed what you need to do in the Southern Wilderness, and the disaster that our Tang Clan has caused is over, I will send someone to take you to the Southern Wilderness. Once you've explained everything, you can go back to the Tang Clan."

Tang Waner's mouth opened, but no words came out.

She turned her head to look at Yuwen Xiao who had a sullen face but did not speak a word.

It was all his fault. If he had stayed in the army camp, she would have come back after secretly visiting him. How could she have been caught red-handed?

He was clearly wounded, yet he was still running around. He did not even put himself in his shoes.

Hmph, even implicating her.

Sad.

With that in mind, the gaze that Tang Waner was looking at Yuwen Xiao with became more and more resentful.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

But just when everyone was silent, Yuwen Xiao broke the silence.

"Great uncle, even though I was injured in order to save Miss Wan'er, Miss Wan'er did her best to retreat this time. If not for the Red Xiang Gu mother Gu in her hands, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Lady Wan-Er has taken over the responsibility of the Keeper in the altar of the Southern Wilderness.

Yuwen Xiao paused for a while before continuing, "Please reconsider, great-uncle."

Tang Waner was surprised.

He didn't expect that the person who would plead on her behalf was this damned general.

He wasn't that bad.

"That's right, Great Granduncle, how could those Southern Wilderness people be so easily dealt with? I was not willing to do it, but they insisted on letting me be the Keeper. If you send people to accompany me, it would just cause more trouble."

Seeing that, Yuwen He agreed: "What Yan says is reasonable, think twice."

Xiao Ruyue stood at the side and watched Yuwen He's movements. He could have begged for mercy from the beginning, but as for the person who had the spotlight on, he had to be a Great General. That was why he had waited until now.

This was the real godly support attack.

The master of the Tang clan muttered to himself for a moment, before his gaze moved from Tang Waner's and Yuwen Xiao's face to Yuwen He's, "Do as you wish, follow me."

"Alright."

With that, the Tang Clan Master and Yuwen He left for the rear hall.

There was no one around, only the two of them, so Yuwen He went straight into the topic, "Why do you treat Miss Wan'er so resolutely, she is not a child anymore."

"To be honest with you, Wan'er is just like you two, a relative of the Tang Clan." "Wan'er's mother could be considered the same age as you guys, but her parents met with misfortune early on, so they left her with me to take care of them. She was also lacking in conscience, so I was worried that she might be dangerous in the martial arts world. A little girl like her is not suitable."

"But uncle, she is not a child anymore. Lady Wan'er will grow up one day. It was true that the rivers and lakes were dangerous, but if she did not experience it herself, how could she grow? Furthermore, with her ability to drive a Gu, do you think that ordinary people can do anything to her? "

"You think we shouldn't force Wan'er to go back and let her wander around?"

"Not really." Yuwen He smiled and said, "Great-uncle, grandchildren naturally have their own blessings. You should understand this principle. Whether she wanted to roam the martial arts world or return to the Tang Clan, it should be her choice. Moreover, girls do not stay in the dorm. "

The Tang Clan Head seemed to understand something and nodded his head to show his goodwill.

Yuwen He and the Tang Clan Master went to the back hall, where a few people in the front hall had nothing to do.

"Little girl, come here." Wenshansu waved at Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue handed the small case over to Chong Yue for safekeeping, and after replying, he walked over: "Father, what's wrong?"

"I'm leaving for the capital tomorrow morning. Do you have anything for me to give your grandma?"

"Leaving so soon?" Xiao Ruyue was surprised, "Since you came over, I have not met you for a few times."

Wenshansu laughed and said: "This trip, I was entrusted by Yue Xiang to come. Now that the mission is complete, it's time to go back and report. I will set off tomorrow morning. If you have anything you want to bring back, leave it to me tomorrow morning. "

Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then slowly smiled: "En."

Her father also knew that she wouldn't be able to leave Yuwen He's side anymore.

Although they were family, they were also a part of the world.

Tang Waner, who was at the side, observed her and could not help but mutter, "Isn't the empress of Western Xia the princess of our East Mausoleum? Why did he call this frail old man her father? Didn't the late emperor of the East Mausoleum die a long time ago? "

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Old mister Xie, who had been silent for a long while, suddenly scolded.

Tang Waner was shocked, she was scared by Old Xie's stern expression and did not dare to breathe.

Yuwen Xiao stood in front of Tang Waner, blocking Old Xie's fiendish expression. "Old Xie, she is still young and doesn't understand anything.

"I didn't think that you would also have such tender feelings for women, you sure are much like that stinky brat Yuwen He, you two really know each other." Old mister Xie's serious expression immediately collapsed upon hearing his words.
