"Thank?" Situ Kong laughed.
"I must thank you. That day, everyone there was calling for my execution, but it was you who forcibly saved !" Tang Zhong said.
Tang Zhong realized that many people wanted him dead that day, but this old man spoke up to spare him, allowing him to survive.
"Is that so?" Situ Kong laughed again.
He had been observing Tang Zhong and increasingly found that this young man had a similar temperant to his own, which sparked the thought of rescuing him.
"Yes!" Tang Zhong said, "Sir, may I know your na?"
Situ Kong replied, "My na is Situ Kong!"
"Thank you, Master Situ!" Tang Zhong said.
"But have you ever wondered why I saved you?" Situ Kong asked in return at this mont.
This was sothing Tang Zhong didn’t understand.
The elderly man before him had such an island to live on; he was no ordinary person. Why did he go to the trouble of saving him?
"I don’t know!" Tang Zhong shook his head.
"Then I’ll tell you!" Situ Kong said.
He stretched out his hand, and in the center of his palm, a small fla roared to life.
Then, he used the Fire Controlling Technique!
Watching his posture, Tang Zhong’s pupils suddenly widened: "Thunderfire Way... Master, you’re from Thunderfire Way?"
"Was the Thunderfire Dragon Wandering Style soone gave before also from you?"
"It was !" Situ Kong said, "I am from Thunderfire Way. To be precise, I founded Thunderfire Way!"
"What?" Tang Zhong was dumbfounded.
He was actually the founder of Thunderfire Way.
That explained everything for Tang Zhong.
No wonder the other could give him the Thunderfire Dragon Wandering Style; now it made sense.
He had always thought there was no stronger person in Thunderfire Way, not realizing such a powerful individual existed!
"Senior, please accept my bow!" Tang Zhong said imdiately.
Kneeling on the ground, he bowed to him.
Indeed, the benefactor had given him too many favors; thinking back, perhaps all the advantages he currently had were given by him.
Yet the other person only silently contributed without revealing himself.
"Stand up!" Situ Kong said.
"You are a very promising disciple of Thunderfire Way. If I don’t help you, who will I help?"
Tang Zhong stood and smiled.
He saw the old man in front of him, feeling close, as if he was among the brothers of Thunderfire Way before!
They all belonged to the sa place.
"Alright, have a seat!" Situ Kong said.
"Hmm!" Tang Zhong sat down.
"Seeing you today, I just wanted to get acquainted!" Situ Kong said.
"Hmm!" Tang Zhong nodded.
At that mont, he noticed a tea set in front of Situ Kong.
"Is that a tea set?" Tang Zhong asked.
"Yes, why? Do you know tea?" Situ Kong asked, surprised, with a passionate gaze fixed on Tang Zhong.
"I know a little!" Tang Zhong said.
Tea was sothing that should only exist on Earth, so how did Situ Kong know about it?
"You try!" Situ Kong said.
He then gazed at Tang Zhong as if searching for sothing.
Tang Zhong followed suit, brewing tea, washing it, and after a while, the aroma wafted up.
"It’s ready!" Tang Zhong said.
"You... you really know tea? In the universe, not many know how to brew tea; the few here really are few. You... where do you co from?" Situ Kong asked excitedly.
"?" Tang Zhong was taken aback.
Why was the other person so excited?
"I co from a small planet!" Tang Zhong said.
"A small planet? Do everyone on your planet know tea?" Situ Kong inquired.
"Not everyone, but quite a few!"
"Your planet is?" Situ Kong beca more anxious, his eyes burning.
"Earth!" answered Tang Zhong.
The reason he ntioned Earth’s na was because at the other’s level, he likely wouldn’t worry about where Earth was, and besides, the other didn’t seem like a bad person!
"So, the person our ancestors knew might have co from Earth!" Situ Kong said.
"Ancestors?" Tang Zhong was stunned.
"It’s a long story. My ancestor learned tea from soone a long ti ago; this ’long ti’ is beyond your imagination!" Situ Kong said.
Tang Zhong didn’t think it was learned from Earth that existed only for thousands of years, whereas this ’long ti’ in cosmic terms perhaps ant tens of thousands of years!
Who was Situ Kong’s ancestor’s tea master?
Could it be the Dragon?
The Dragon created Earth and nurtured Life!
It couldn’t be; the Dragon was frad by the Cang Emperor many years ago, so it must have been soone else, possibly a subordinate of the Dragon!
Could it be... soone from the Dragon God Guard!
He learned from Demon Elder that under the Dragon’s command there were twelve Divine Guards, and surely the Dragon knew tea, so his subordinates likely did as well.
Demon Elder had told him to find other mbers of the Dragon God Guard; very possibly, the person Situ Kong’s ancestor t was from the Dragon God Guard.
But that was so long ago, who knew where the other was now?
He could only look slowly!
Tang Zhong smiled and said, "The tea is ready!"
Situ Kong sipped and praised excitedly, "It’s truly remarkable!"
"I didn’t expect your aptitude for cultivating to be so high, and your tea skills so excellent. Please visit this lonely island more often and keep this old man company!" Situ Kong said.
"Certainly!" Tang Zhong replied.
"Actually, what caught my eye more was your courage!" Situ Kong said, "You dared to kill among the Plunderers; that’s quite impressive!"
"I had no choice but to kill!" Tang Zhong said.
"It’s not the killing that’s terrifying; what’s frightening is that you’re rebelling against the Plunderers. Back then, I also killed people!" Situ Kong said.
Tang Zhong was taken aback, suddenly recalling there were three types of people among the Plunderers; they all had killed Plunderer companions.
But there were three different endings!
The first type, after killing a Plunderer companion, chose to die themselves.
The second type killed a Plunderer companion, fought to survive, and finally submitted to the Plunderers, working for them.
The third type killed soone and strongly proved their existence with their own strength.
Tang Zhong was the third type, proving himself with his strength!
"I am the second type!" Situ Kong said, "I think you know what I am talking about!"
The second type, to survive, submitted to the Plunderers, forever working for them until death!
Tang Zhong naturally understood.
As he spoke, Situ Kong spread his arms, and at that mont, a chain shone between his hands; it was invisible unless he pulled it, likewise, ankle cuffs...
"This is why I chose to protect you back then; you did sothing I never dared to do in my life!"
