The Sacred Land of Clouds.
Tang Ranran was on a small mountain peak on the edge of the holy land.
This is her residence; no one else lives nearby.
In name, she was a disciple of the Purple Sun Taoist, but apart from her monthly allowance, she didn't receive any other benefits.
Master Ziyang is the most talented cultivator in the entire Yunhuan Holy Land.
She was also exceptionally beautiful.
She was hailed as the hope of the holy land, but because her master's lineage had almost no successors, she formed her own lineage and inherited the Ziyang Peak.
Although the Holy Land is a 'holy land', it is also a place where factional struggles exist.
Ziyang Daoist has good talent; if he could become an elder's disciple, he would naturally have excellent resources.
However, because it operates independently, the resources available each month have actually decreased significantly.
Ziyang Daoist had to keep a portion of these resources for himself and another portion for his disciple, so naturally Tang Ranran wouldn't get much.
Master Ziyang did not regard Tang Ranran as his 'daughter-in-law'.
This is not the mortal realm.
Cultivators have such long lifespans that they are indifferent even to their own grandchildren, let alone their 'daughters-in-law' with whom they have no blood relation.
Ordinary elderly people are kind to the next generation because they expect the next generation to provide for them in their old age.
But those who cultivate the Tao do not need it.
Therefore, so-called genuine feelings are essentially self-interest, and cultivators do not need to be bound by this self-interest, so naturally they do not need to be kind and gentle to the next generation.
In this situation, there are very few cultivators who can pamper Yang Xiu like his grandfather did.
Therefore, people who dote on Tang Ranran like Xia Muge did in the past are extremely rare.
However, Tang Ranran didn't know any of this before.
At that time, she caught the eye of the senior disciple of Qingcheng Mountain. This senior disciple would send Tang Ranran benefits every month, and the Tang family also prospered as a result. So at that time, Tang Ranran was naturally pampered by the whole world.
Perhaps because she was spoiled and arrogant, she looked down on Xia Muge's sycophantic attitude and instead got involved with Xu Feng.
Then, she arrived at the Cloud Realm Holy Land.
Despite being called a sacred place, the spiritual energy here is richer than that at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, but the resources she received were even worse than those in the Tang family.
Tang Ranran couldn't understand what it was about Xu Feng that she had fallen for back then.
She regretted it a little.
Especially during the time Xu Feng was away from the Holy Land, her life got worse and worse.
Lacking any opportunities and being targeted by several female disciples who liked Xu Feng, he felt no benefit whatsoever despite being at the Golden Core Realm, far worse off than his days in the Tang family.
She had considered going down the mountain to gain experience.
However, she was still very self-aware; if she went down the mountain to gain experience, she probably wouldn't be able to obtain any good opportunities.
Moreover, she was too well protected.
In the Tang family, they didn't learn much magic or supernatural powers; they just focused on improving their cultivation level.
As a result, she can only depend on Xu Feng now and is unable to be independent.
Tang Ranran felt somewhat resentful.
Throughout the year, Xu Feng was always away from home. For a normal cultivator, a year is only a very short time.
But she's different; she's someone whose emotional needs outweigh her rational thinking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken off the engagement and gone with Xu Feng.
She thought she and Xu Feng would become a perfect couple, like the protagonists in a fairy tale.
But now that I think about it, it was all just her arrogance.
Just as Tang Ranran was feeling sorry for herself, Tang Qingsong also arrived outside the Yunhuan Holy Land.
Although this place is a sacred site, its area is no smaller than that of a city.
The Cloud Realm Holy Land has a total of 38 peaks, each occupying its own peak, in addition to the main peak, beast peak, treasure peak, and so on. It can be said that this place is no less than the capital of a country.
Of course, such a large place doesn't have any so-called mountain gate or anything like that.
If someone wants to find someone, the people within the Cloud Realm will not stop them.
As long as it's not an attack by evil or demonic cultivators, outsiders generally won't be in trouble here.
Of course, important areas will still be guarded by disciples.
Tang Qingsong arrived at Ziyang Peak, where Tang Ranran was located.
When Tang Qingsong saw that Ziyang Peak was actually located far from the main peak and had much less spiritual energy, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He also knew that his daughter was probably suffering here.
Back when she was with the Tang family, although Xia Muge sent less than the Holy Land, these resources were always prioritized for Tang Ranran.
As for the Holy Land, although it has abundant income, probably less than one ten-thousandth of it can be used for his daughter.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Tang Qingsong still had genuine feelings for his daughter.
Seeing that Ziyang Peak had few disciples and that the weeds and dead trees on the mountain were left untended, he became even more resentful.
I resent Tang Ranran, but I resent Xu Feng even more.
If it weren't for Xu Feng, Tang Ranran and the Tang family would probably still be being fawned over.
Thinking of this, Tang Qingsong felt even more resentful.
Ultimately, it's because I'm useless.
If I were a Nascent Soul Realm expert, or even stronger, I wouldn't need to live such a life of constant anxiety.
Tang Qingsong finally met his daughter, Tang Ranran.
Tang Ranran asked calmly, "Father, is there something you need?"
"Um."
He did not engage in small talk as a typical father would.
After all, cultivators do not eat grains and are not affected by the cold or heat, so there is no need to say those empty polite words.
"It's Mount Qingcheng."
He didn't hide anything, saying, "The person you broke off your engagement with has already entered the Nascent Soul stage."
"Entering the Nascent Soul stage? How is that possible?" Tang Ranran exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Muge is indeed very talented, but he's only in his early twenties.
The Golden Core and the Nascent Soul are a significant hurdle. The former can be overcome by accumulating medicinal ingredients, but the latter is completely impossible.
The Nascent Soul stage is the beginning of entering the Dao. To enter the Nascent Soul stage, one must first have some understanding of the Dao.
This is something that can't be achieved by taking drugs.
Tang Ranran's face turned deathly pale.
Clearly, her first thought at that moment was whether Qingcheng Mountain would retaliate against the Tang family immediately.
Even if Qingcheng Mountain doesn't do that, wouldn't those who want to curry favor with Xia Muge do it?
A Nascent Soul cultivator in their twenties—they are cultivators who have a very high chance of becoming immortals.
Who wouldn't want to curry favor with such a genius?
It's safe to say that the Tang family is now in a crisis, unless they leave Qingcheng Mountain or apologize.
Clearly, Tang Qingsong came here so that she would apologize.
"I see."
"I will go back with you to apologize."
Tang Ranran ultimately couldn't bring herself to abandon her family and stay alone in the Cloud Realm Holy Land.
After all, everything she had was given to her by her family, and if she really gave it up, she wouldn't be able to overcome her inner demons.
Most importantly, she had another idea in mind.
Xia Muge liked her so much before, he definitely wouldn't give up so easily.
If we could rekindle our past romance...
