Tang Bao: "You are really kind. If it were me, I would probably kill them all. There is no point in keeping them alive."

Cheng Yin's face was full of pleading.

"Okay, then you take care of this matter first. How do you need my cooperation?"

"I'll have someone invite them down the mountain to see you and see their attitude."

"Okay, oh, by the way, there's one more thing about your daughter. What are you going to do with her?"

"I'll go talk to her later. I don't want to hurt her, so just tell her the truth."

"If people knew that she was your daughter, would it affect your position as Pavilion Master?"

"Even if I'm not going to be the Pavilion Master, I can't disown her. I've been hiding this for so many years, and I'm actually very tired. Even though I usually take good care of her, I can't be too obvious in front of everyone. As a mother, I can't love my daughter openly. I've had enough of that pain."

Cheng Yinyin bit her lip.

She seemed to have made up her mind.

Tang Bao nodded: "Okay, the rules of your Xianyin Pavilion are passed down from our ancestors. You can't get married, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, you are now the Pavilion Master. You can make new rules. Don't worry, with me here, no one will threaten your position as Pavilion Master."

Tang Bao made a big promise and gave a guarantee.

Cheng Yinyin was moved: "Thank you, Elder."

…

After lunch, Tang Bao returned to his palace to rest.

In just one morning, the news that Tang Bao had become the Supreme Elder of Xianyin Pavilion had spread to everyone.

This news is absolutely shocking.

Xianyin Pavilion never accepts men.

It is very rare for someone like Tang Bao to stay overnight in Xianyin Pavilion, which is considered a break from the convention.

Now, he has even become the supreme elder.

Cheng Yinyin also announced publicly that Tang Bao was not only the Supreme Elder, but also the number one Supreme Elder.

From now on, if Tang Bao has any instructions, no one in Xianyin Pavilion should disobey, otherwise it would be considered as betraying the master and ancestors.

Once this news is announced, it will naturally cause some dissatisfaction.

Why?

How could a man, so young, have such virtue and ability?

This is to surpass the Pavilion Master.

But all the dissatisfaction can only be kept in the heart, and no one dares to speak out.

Everyone knows that Tang Bao is a distinguished guest invited by the Pavilion Master. To publicly question him is to question the Pavilion Master's authority.

Cheng Yinyin returned to her residence and called Zhao Linger over.

After sending away the other disciples, Cheng Yinyin looked at Zhao Linger and sighed, "Sit down."

"Master, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhao Linger was still in the dark.

She asked as soon as she sat down.

She still has great respect for the Pavilion Master.

Of course she could feel how good Cheng Yinyin was to her.

She has always treated Cheng Yinyin as her own mother.

"Ling'er, what do you think about my decision just now?"

Cheng Yinyin asked.

Zhao Linger said respectfully: "Pavilion Master, you have your reasons for making this decision."

"But your fellow sisters are very dissatisfied."

"That's because they don't know how powerful Elder Tang is. If they knew that Elder Tang had robbed the entire ancient martial arts world, they might not be so dissatisfied. I'm also very curious, why don't you tell them about this?" Zhao Linger asked puzzledly.

Cheng Yinyin said, "Why? He Zhidong doesn't know we invited him here. Don't you think it would be better to let him suffer a little in a few days? If he knew Elder Tang was here, he would definitely not come. I know this guy too well. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is eyeing us covetously. It's a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Zhao Linger suddenly realized and hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here."

"yes."

Zhao Linger agreed and frowned, "I'm worried about the several great elders on Baihua Mountain. They're sure to know the news. What if they try to embarrass you together?"

"Hmph, I actually hope they'll cause trouble. Well, I've already informed them of this matter, and I've ordered them to come down the mountain and pay their respects to Elder Tang within today."

Cheng Yinyin said with a gleam in her eyes.

Zhao Linger was startled: "At this critical moment, aren't you provoking them?"

"Yes, I just want to provoke them. Don't worry about this matter. I have my reasons. Now, I want to talk about another matter. It is related to you and is very important."

Cheng Yinyin.

Zhao Linger was a little confused.

It's about her.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, her face changed slightly, and turned red.

Seeing this, Cheng Yinyin coughed and said, "You——"

"Pavilion Master, I, I, I was picked up by you. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the orphanage. You have raised me. If you insist on me going to accompany him, I, I, I can't refuse, but I really don't love him."

sweat……

Cheng Yinyin was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Misunderstand……

"You think I'll force you?"

"I, I don't know."

"I won't force you."

Cheng Yinyin took a breath and sighed, "How could I bear to force you?"

Her expression was full of doting, and at that moment, Zhao Linger was actually moved.

It was this kind of smile that she would remember for the rest of her life. When she first met Cheng Yinyin in the orphanage, although she was still young, the latter had this kind of smile.

"Actually, you are not an orphan."

"What?"

Zhao Linger was struck by lightning: "I'm not an orphan?"

"Yes, your mother is still alive."

Zhao Linger was very excited: "Where is she? Is she still alive?"

"You want to see her?"

"How could I not want to?"

Zhao Linger pursed her lips.

"Then you don't hate her?"

"Hate... me, I don't know."

Zhao Linger lowered her head with a complicated expression.

Cheng Yinyin opened her mouth, but didn't dare to go any further.

She is also very nervous now.

This secret has been kept for decades. She originally wanted to keep it for life, but now, she is so scared when she thinks about it.

She was afraid that her daughter would hate her.

After a while, Zhao Linger seemed to have calmed down and asked, "Pavilion Master, tell me, I really want to meet her. It's not about love or hate. I just want to ask her why she sent me to an orphanage after giving birth to me. I just want to ask why she hasn't visited me in all these years."

"I--"

Cheng Yinyin's eyes turned red and she started to cry.

When Zhao Linger saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Master, why are you crying?"

"Well, there are some things I have kept from you for more than ten years. I can't keep them hidden forever. That would be unfair to you."

Zhao Linger was puzzled.

Cheng Yinyin no longer hesitated and said directly: "Actually, I am your biological mother. If you want to hate me or scold me, I won't blame you. After all, I have treated you too badly over the years."
