Seeing Tang Chen kneeling on one knee with a resolute expression, Ning Liu's brows furrowed slightly.
He could understand Tang Chen's feelings at that moment.
As a peerless and invincible powerhouse, the ancestor of the Haotian Sect watched helplessly as his descendant turned into a demon who slaughtered living beings and was hated by everyone. One can only imagine the shame, anger, and pain he felt.
It is indeed reasonable for him, as the ancestor, to personally take action to clean up the house.
but……
Ning Liu shook his head.
"Senior Tang Chen, please get up first."
His voice was devoid of any emotion.
Tang Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ning Liu to refuse.
"My lord?"
"I said, get up." Ning Liu's tone became more forceful.
Sensing the unquestionable tone in Ning Liu's voice, Tang Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up slowly.
But the expression on his face was still full of confusion and resentment.
"My lord, why...?"
Why won't you go?
Ning Liu looked at him and asked in return, "What do you think you could do if you went there now?"
"I..." Tang Chen was speechless for a moment.
"Go find Tang San for a one-on-one duel? And then what?"
Ning Liu's eyes sharpened. "You killed him, and then what? What about the ten Title Douluos who were forced into existence by the Star Luo Empire? What about this war that has already been started and is sweeping across the continent?"
"Have you ever considered that this might have been a setup by Tang San from the very beginning?"
"He knew we were there, and might even have guessed we would come looking for him?"
"He deliberately made such a big show of it to draw all attention to him and the Star Luo Empire behind him."
"And he himself can stay behind the scenes and continue his plans!"
Ning Liu's series of questions were like a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing Tang Chen's head, which was clouded by anger.
He was stunned.
yes……
He only thought about cleaning house and washing away the shame of the Tang family, but he didn't consider the bigger picture at all.
If all of this is really Tang San's scheme, then wouldn't my reckless rush over be playing right into his hands?
This is tantamount to dragging the entire Haotian Sect, and even Liuli Heaven, into the quagmire of this war!
What a vicious scheme!
Tang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
"My lord... I was too naive." Tang Chen lowered his head, his voice filled with remorse.
"It's not your fault, I was just worried."
Ning Liu's tone softened somewhat.
Having read the entire "Douluo Continent" novel, he believes he has an extremely deep understanding of Tang San!
"Tang San is no fool."
"Since he dared to do this, he must have made thorough preparations. What we need to do now is not to act impulsively, but to be more patient and see further than him."
"So... what should we do now?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked cautiously from the side.
The situation is far too complicated right now.
On the Star Luo Empire's side, there are at least ten Title Douluos in charge. If it's a head-on fight, even with Tang Chen, a Limit Douluo, they won't gain any advantage and might even end up in a tough battle.
No rush.
A strange smile appeared on Ning Liu's lips.
"If Tang San wants to play, then let's play along with him."
"Does he think that by creating ten Title Douluos, he can run rampant?"
"Did he think that by provoking a war between the two countries, he could muddy the waters and reap the benefits?"
"He underestimates us, and he underestimates the world."
Ning Liu's gaze fell on Tang Chen once again.
"Senior Tang Chen, you just said this is your family matter, right?"
"Yes!" Tang Chen answered without hesitation.
"Alright then."
Ning Liu nodded, then suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming playful.
"Since we've come to the topic of family matters, there happens to be a 'family matter' in my Liuli Heaven's dungeon that you need to handle."
"What?"
Tang Chen was suddenly stunned, completely unable to follow Ning Liu's train of thought.
The dungeon of the Crystal Heaven?
Is it any of his family's business?
Among his direct relatives is Tang Hao, whose whereabouts are unknown.
Then...could it be...?
Tang Hao is imprisoned in the dungeon of Liuli Heaven?!
Moreover, he was imprisoned by Ning Liu and Liuli Tian.
"My lord...who...who are you talking about?"
Tang Chen's voice began to tremble uncontrollably.
He stared intently at Ning Liu, both afraid to hear that name from his mouth and yearning for confirmation.
Ning Liu looked at his complex expression—a mixture of shock, confusion, and anticipation—and did not give a direct answer.
He simply said:
"Let's go back to Soto first."
"Back in the Glazed Heaven, everything will be clear."
"This show has only just begun. We have plenty of time; we can take it slow."
After saying that, he ignored Tang Chen, who was completely shocked, turned around, and walked towards Soto City with Xiao Wu and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Tang Chen stood frozen in place, his mind a complete mess.
Tang Hao... Liulitian... Dungeon...
Housework...
Upon returning to Liuli Heaven, he will likely face not only the humiliation brought by Tang San, his great-grandson, but also other challenges.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and silently followed.
No matter who is imprisoned in the dungeon, no matter what they are about to face.
He absolutely has to go back!
He needs to know the answer!
