Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 52: Tan Family History Part 1

Bang!

Inside the house painted with red, a middle-aged man crushed the cup in his hand and shouted "What is our information faction doing? Are they eating grass? Why can't they find him?"

"Sir, we have found him. He is currently in the Battle Dragon Sect. But, we haven't confirmed his identity. Our information faction is working hard but his identity seems like a mystery." A man wearing a red coat kneeled in one knee in front of the middle-aged man and spoke.

The middle-aged man looked outside from the window. He had a bulky body and short hairs. His neck had a strange scar on it. He clenched his big fists and commanded "Use every force we have to find his identity."

"Our elders and a promising disciple have been killed. I can't swallow this hatred."

But the man kneeling on the ground didn't move. He took a deep breath and said "Sect Master, three elders have suggested to drop this matter and focus on our next movement."

"What? How could they ignore this? We haven't lost a single disciple in a decade. And, not only did we lose a disciple, but he was also an inner disciple. Are those elders going to ignore it?" The middle-aged man clenched his fist and smashed the wall as he spoke with a great hatred flashing from his eyes.

"Shen Ji, don't let your arrogance blind you! We don't have time to spend around that person. No matter who he might be, we will see him after Fire Comet Festival. For now, don't forget our main mission to slaughter all the geniuses participating in the Fire Comet Festival." Suddenly, an old man with a white beard entered the room and spoke with a hoarse voice.

When the man kneeling on the ground saw him, his heart jerked. He was instantly terrified. But, the middle-aged man was still not convinced. The old man stared at him and sighed "Shen Ji, we trained our disciples just for this festival and we need to weaken those forces to the minimum before we take any actions."

"Don't forget our goal!"

Saying so, the old man left the room. The middle-aged man clenched his fist and stared at the man kneeling on the ground.

"Tell Guan Xing to find every necessary information about this person. I want him to die no matter what. Nobody challenges the authority of our Blood Demon Sect."

At this moment, the old man standing outside sighed and muttered "Pride is a great sin for reason. I hope it won't make any deep impact in our sect."

.........

"Father, how can you sell your daughter like that? I don't like that man. Why would I marry him?" The young girl stood in front of the middle-aged man and shouted. The middle-aged man was wearing black attire. He was none other than Tan San.

The young girl had a tall body with a slender figure. Her rosy lips make a man want to bite them. Unlike other members of the family, she was wearing an alluring green dress. Her name was Tan Xinyi.

Tan San sighed for a long time and stared at his daughter.

"Xinyi, I know you don't want to get tied to someone by the family. And, I am not forcing you to do so. I just want you to tell you the fair advantage of marrying him and I also want you to understand him. Listen, daughter, you know why I can't pass the Family Head position to you, and thankfully, you don't care."

"But, I still want my blood to hold this position. And, the next person after me must be your son. Of course, if you don't agree then there is nothing I can say. I can only mourn over the fact I am incapable of having my own and cry."

"But, even if I cry, I will never force my daughter. Xinyi, you don't have to worry. If you don't like him, then I will pass my throne to someone else. And, I will go to the mountain to be a sage forever. If you ever miss your father, you can come to the mountains and find me."

At this moment, Xinyi stared at her father speechlessly. She knew her father was trying to act spoiled. And, she wanted to smack his butt for that. But, she couldn't do it. Her father was the best person in her life. Everything he asks her to do, she will do it.

But, marriage is something she doesn't want her father to decide. Even so, she can't see her father acting like this. Because sometimes he is serious about this. She feared he might really go to the mountain and become a sage.

When she was small, her mother died an unfortunate death. Because of that, she asked Tan San to make promises and take care of their daughter properly. He promised her and he took it to a whole new level. He not only made her life easy but also never married another woman.

It's not that he is incapable of having a son rather he didn't want his daughter to feel lonely and bad. Because he knows if he marries a woman and has a son, she will definitely feel bad about it. And, she understands this as well.

That's why she loves her dad more than anything else. Her dad might be damn serious about the family Head business, he might act spoil in front of his daughter, but he will never force her to do something doesn't want.

And, she understands his pain. Who doesn't want his own child to inherit the family? But, the problem is when a girl marries someone, she normally leaves the family. And, that's why she can't be the family head unless she remains in the family.

But who is she? One of the top genius and inner-court disciples of Shining Moon Sect. If she ever marries someone, it must be a genius but most geniuses won't go to her family and live there as a son-in-law. That's why Tan San wants her to marry Qin.

After all, Qin might be a genius but he doesn't have a family. He is an orphan so it wouldn't matter much to him, unlike others. Tan Xinyi knows Qin and she has seen him a few times. But, in her experience, Qin is just a loyal servant.

She doesn't understand how everything changed in just three weeks. She looked at her father's fake tears and sighed "Father, I will go to the Battle Dragon Sect and visit him. I will spend some time with him and if he is good and we can get married."

"I am eighteen and I don't have a lover. So, I don't mind doing this but if I don't like him, then you are not allowed to force me."

Creek!

At this moment, the doors suddenly opened and Tan Xinyi shuts her mouth. The person who arrived was a great elder and a girl that had similar attire as Tan Xinyi. But, she was a little short and her face was a little round. In short, she was cute.

Her name was Tan Jian. At this moment, the Great Elder had an ambiguous smile on his face. He walked slightly bowed alongside his granddaughter and spoke "Sorry for interrupting you, Family Head. I have brought good news."

"Oh! Great Elder, you are also here. I brought good news for you." Suddenly, Tan Ming's voice rang from the door as he walked in with a beautiful girl. She wasn't tall as Tan Xinyi but she wasn't short as Tan Jian either.

But, her beauty was on the level of the other two. Tan Ming walked straight while holding his daughter's hand and laughed "Hahaha! Big brother, I have brought a piece of good news for you. It turns out my daughter likes him a few years ago. But, due to Qin's inconvenient position, she couldn't express her feeling."

At this moment, Tan San and the great elder gave him a deadly stare and turned their heads at Tan Gengxin. When they looked at her, all they got is a mocking smile. They knew Tan Gengxin is one hell of a shrewd girl, unlike her father.

And, one of the main businesses of the Tan Family is prospering due to her. It can be said her position is no less than some elders while being a genius in cultivation. Seeing this, Tan San sighed with the sadness flashing in his eyes.

He knew he can't hold the Family Head position for a long time. The only reason why he had this position was because of his high intellect and talent for cultivation. Although Tan Ming is also a talent for cultivation.

Tan Ming is ten years younger than his brother but he is already catching up with his brother. But, he doesn't have the necessary skills to be the head. That's why Tan San got his position early on. Unlike him, Tan Gengxin is a talent for both just like Tan San.

Fortunately, she was a girl. But now, if she marries Qin Che, he will surely lose this position. At this moment, Tan Xinyi also noticed her father's expression. In an instant, her mind was filled with rage. In her life, her father is everything to her, and nobody is allowed to make him unhappy.

She turned at Tan Ming and suddenly smiled "Uncle Ming, you are a little late. I have already agreed to marry Qin Che. That means your daughter needs to throw away that feeling just like a few years ago."
