Chapter 381: Request for Help
Every move of Tang San didn't escape Ning Bei's eyes, but he chose to ignore it. Ning Bei only found it amusing that Tang San planned to seek reinforcements from Heaven Dou.
"They'll probably go to Heaven Dou City to ask for help. When the time comes, you're free to act as you wish."
"Huh? Didn't they realize that the person I sent to them has turned against them?"
Qian Renxue appeared somewhat confused. Wasn't it enough that they were backstabbed?
Ning Bei shook his head and explained.
"When they launched the attack, Tang San wasn't in the sect. He was practicing his hammer technique on the outskirts of the mountains. When he found out Haotian Sect was under attack, he didn't choose to return immediately. Instead, he fled the scene with a clan member. That's why he didn't discover the betrayal of the Heaven Dou soldiers. He'll likely go to Heaven Dou City to find Tang Yuehua and ask for help from her."
"I see. Then let's deal with Tang Yuehua when the time comes."
A mischievous smile appeared on the Little Angel's face. She hadn't expected to remain undetected by Tang San for so long.
"Do as you wish. By the way, there are some babies born in Haotian Sect that I plan to take back to the sect to raise. Would you like them?"
"You plan to raise them as fighters for the sect? It's actually a good idea. I don't need them on my side. I'll probably start my divine trial soon, so I won't have time to deal with these children."
"Alright, then you handle the rest. If you need me, just send a messenger."
"Okay."
While the people in the palace remained calm, Tang San and Tang Xian, who had spent two days and nights rushing to Heaven Dou City, were growing more anxious. They hadn't dared to stop during their journey and finally arrived at their destination at midnight.
They arrived at Yue Xuan, and since it was late, everything was unusually quiet. They knocked on the door for nearly two minutes before they received a response.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Xiao Ping. Tang San."
"Huh? Young Master?"
The door to Yue Xuan opened, and Xiao Ping's surprised face appeared in front of them. She had thought it would be a long time before seeing Tang San again, so she was taken aback by his sudden return to Heaven Dou City.
"Young Master, weren't you going into closed-door training at Haotian Sect? Why are you back?"
"Xiao Ping, the situation is urgent. I'll explain later. Where's Aunt?"
Seeing the urgent expressions on Tang San and the young man with him, Xiao Ping didn't hesitate and quickly went to call Tang Yuehua.
"Aunt."
"Cousin!"
"Little San and A Xian, why are you here?"
Tang Yuehua seemed surprised by Tang San's sudden visit and felt a bit uneasy, sensing something was wrong.
"Aunt, Spirit Hall has begun attacking Haotian Sect. I was practicing the Chaotic Wind Hammer in the valley, so I wasn't at the sect. By the time I rushed back, the gates were blocked by several Title Douluo. I brought Tang Xian to ask for help."
"Ah!"
Tang Yuehua immediately understood the situation, and her expression turned frantic. She hadn't expected Spirit Hall's actions to be so fast.
After a long pause, she slowly regained her composure. The situation was urgent, and she had to stay calm to seek help for Haotian Sect.
"Little San, it was correct not to rush back to the sect. Leave the rest to Aunt. You must be tired from your journey. Go rest for now."
"Aunt, we're not tired. You need to go to Heaven Dou City to ask Xue Qinghe for help. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late."
Tang Xian, in particular, had no time to rest. His grandfather and siblings were still resisting the enemy at Haotian Sect.
"A Xian, we can't enter the palace this late. If you want to see His Majesty, we'll have to wait until tomorrow and have someone notify him."
"This…"
Seeing that both of them were as restless as ants on a hot pan, Tang San hurriedly tried to comfort them.
"Aunt, A Xian, don't panic. We can't get into the palace tonight, but can we meet with the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Tang Yuehua's eyes brightened, and she gave Tang San a praising look.
"You're right. While the Sect Master may not want to meet me so late, it's worth trying. You two go rest. If you can't sleep, wait for me to come back."
"I understand. Go quickly, Aunt."
Tang Yuehua quickly changed into a new outfit, and with Xiao Ping, she took a carriage toward Seven Treasure City. The horses, working overtime, seemed particularly agitated, snorting as they went. One could only wonder if they were cursing along the way.
Several hours later, the carriage arrived near the gates of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The night watch disciples quickly stopped Tang Yuehua's path. They were curious, as it was the first time they had seen a noble visit so late.
"Who are you? What brings you to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"I'm Tang Yuehua, an old acquaintance of Sect Master Ning. I have urgent matters and am here to ask for a meeting. I apologize for the late hour and ask that you notify him."
The disciples hesitated, as they had never had to knock on the Sect Master's door in the middle of the night. They weren't sure if it was wise, unsure whether they'd be met with a scolding.
However, seeing the urgency in her expression, they figured it was likely important, and if they delayed, they could be held responsible.
In the end, the leader made a decision and instructed the other disciples:
"Stay here. I'll be right back."
"Yes."
Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still uneasy. She feared Sect Master Ning might refuse to meet her at such a late hour to avoid causing any trouble.
Fortunately, this wasn't the case. The disciple returned soon after, signaling for Tang Yuehua to follow.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's conference hall, Tang Yuehua had been here many times before, but this time, she was in a hurry. She rushed into the hall, not even bothering with formalities, and quickly spoke.
"Sect Master Ning, please send reinforcements to Haotian Sect. Yuehua will be deeply grateful."
Ning Fengzhi had already learned everything from Ning Bei, but now he still wanted to put on a show and make it look good.
With an expression of shock, Ning Fengzhi spoke dramatically.
"Lady Yuehua, has Spirit Hall attacked?"
"Yes, my nephew traveled for two days without rest to bring me this news. The situation is urgent, and I ask Sect Master Ning for assistance."
"Spirit Hall really is relentless!"
"Rest assured, our three sects are closely allied, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never stand by and do nothing."
Ning Fengzhi's righteous speech deeply moved Tang Yuehua, and she inwardly cursed herself for being too suspicious of his motives before.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning. Yuehua is extremely grateful."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and quickly gestured to his servants.
"Go and call over the two elders."
"Yes, Sect Master."
When Tang Yuehua heard that the two elders, Jian and Gu, were coming, she felt a sense of relief and looked even more grateful. With them around, Spirit Hall's traitors would certainly never return.
Before long, the two elders, Jian and Gu, hurried into the conference hall. Upon seeing Tang Yuehua, their faces showed a hint of awkwardness.
