The Tang family spent a fortune to get Xia Muge forgiven.
A perfunctory apology is insignificant, while a magical artifact is far more substantial.
The Binding Immortal Rope is a magical artifact passed down from the ancestors of the Tang family.
As its name suggests, it is a rope that can bind immortals.
Of course, the rope that could truly bind an immortal couldn't possibly be from the Tang family. What the Tang family has given us now is a replica.
Although it cannot trap immortals, the Tang family ancestors once used this item to trap powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
The founder of any family must be a person of extraordinary talent and brilliance.
The Tang family ancestors were no exception.
The ancestors of the Tang family were once exceptionally talented individuals, reaching the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred.
It's a pity that he later damaged his spiritual root and shortened his lifespan in the struggle for this Immortal Rope, and was unable to break through to the next level for the rest of his life.
Otherwise, how could the Tang family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, have been so humiliated?
Although this Immortal Binding Rope is a replica, it is still a rare and valuable magical artifact.
The Tang family originally intended to pass this magical artifact down through generations and revive the glory of their ancestors. Unfortunately, this was not an easy task.
To be precise, it's impossible.
The Tang family has a history of hundreds of years, and the most talented person in the family is Tang Ranran.
However, Tang Ranran's talent was nurtured by Xia Muge's elixirs.
Now that the Tang family has offended Qingcheng Mountain so badly, if they only offer a perfunctory apology, even if Xia Muge accepts it, can they guarantee that he won't retaliate?
Even if he doesn't retaliate, what about the other families?
Therefore, what the Tang family wanted was not just Xia Muge's verbal forgiveness, but also a gesture of goodwill.
As long as Qingcheng Mountain sends out a message to bring the Tang family back under its protection, then everything will be worthwhile.
As for ritual implements... ritual implements need to be used by someone.
For the Tang family, the current imitation of the Immortal Binding Rope is almost unusable, so they could consider selling it. However, the Tang family's strength is too low, and simply selling it would only invite the schemes of someone far more powerful.
This is something the Tang family can hardly bear.
Therefore, using this as an apology gift to Qingcheng Mountain is the best thing to do.
Xia Muge couldn't help but glance at Tang Qingsong.
He said, "Master Tang, you are a very capable person."
Tang Qingsong knew when to yield and was a master at assessing situations.
People who can seek advantage and avoid harm are much better than those who are mindless and straightforward.
He paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, I will spread the word that the feud between Qingcheng Mountain and the Tang family has been resolved."
"Can't we just..."
Simply settling down the grudges would clearly not be in Tang Qingsong's interest.
He wanted more.
He felt that a magical artifact was worth striving for more of.
Xia Muge looked at Tang Qingsong as if he were a fool: "I have never taken the Tang family seriously, but don't forget, Qingcheng Mountain also has its pride. If I still need Qingcheng Mountain to help the Tang family, then how am I supposed to conduct myself?"
Tang Qingsong awkwardly shut his mouth.
Xia Muge continued, "Furthermore, Miss Tang's Daoist partner comes from a holy land. I imagine the Tang family also has powerful backers, doesn't it?"
Tang Ranran felt so wronged.
With so many disciples in the Cloud Realm Holy Land, who cares about a disciple's Daoist partner?
They could also act as a backer. If Xu Feng were to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Tang family, as his Daoist partner, might be able to gain some benefits from it.
But that's all.
Not to mention how long it would take Xu Feng to improve, even if he did improve, it wouldn't be as fast as Xia Muge's.
She desperately wanted to tell Xia Muge: She was wrong, she wanted to come back.
She wants to go back to the past.
Moreover, Tang Ranran felt that Xia Muge's ability to easily let go of the past meant that he still had feelings for her.
Taoist practitioners have no concept of chastity.
After all, time can break down many preconceived notions.
For those who cultivate the Tao, the concepts of loyalty and chastity do not apply; over a long period of time, so-called loyalty becomes virtually impossible. The vast majority of people associate with each other based on self-interest.
This is quite similar to the atmosphere in the world before Xia Muge's transmigration.
Everyone is focused on self-interest, and traditional morality has almost disappeared.
Thinking of this, Tang Ranran impulsively said to Xia Muge, "Muge, you still like me, don't you?"
"If you'd like, I can come back to you."
Tang Qingsong instinctively told his daughter to shut up, but she quickly stopped.
If Xia Muge still loves his daughter, then the Tang family can still rely on Qingcheng Mountain.
Most importantly, Xia Muge is a genius.
However, under Tang Ranran's expectant gaze, Xia Muge revealed a hint of sarcasm: "Tang Ranran, you don't actually think that I still have feelings for you after what you did, do you?"
"If you want to dream, you can wait until night to do it."
Tang Ranran retorted, "But if there were no feelings involved, why didn't you target the Tang family?"
Tang Qingsong was furious.
Isn't this a good thing?
My own daughter...
Xia Muge smiled faintly and said, "I'm not taking action because this matter is not worth my attention, much less worth my concern."
“I always strive for perfection in everything I do. Since you left, it means I wasn’t the best choice, so I won’t hold a grudge against the Tang family.”
In any case, in the storyline, the demonic cultivators arrived and the Tang family was slaughtered, so he didn't need to lift a finger.
He didn't need to get his hands dirty at all.
Of course, he wouldn't say these things.
