Ren Feng listened from the side, noting that there were slight discrepancies from what Tang Dieyi had originally said herself, but this wasn't important.
"Later, after Tang Dieyi escaped, the incident was marked as a disgrace for the Tang Sect. The sect leader of that generation was furious and forbade anyone from ntioning it again, making it a taboo for the Tang Sect."
Ren Feng asked, "The sect leader back then, it wasn't Tang Dingtian, right?"
"No, Tang Dingtian beca the new sect leader after the previous one passed away and he has never married since then."
"What about Tang Hongtu?"
"Tang Hongtu is Tang Dingtian's junior brother, reportedly taken in by the old sect leader. Recently, since the sect leader is in seclusion, Tang Hongtu has been handling all the affairs of the Tang Sect."
Ren Feng nodded.
Shi Yi spoke, "My father, how long is he going to be in seclusion?"
Shi Yi's face was calm, yet his eyes betrayed a mix of anxiety, anticipation, and worry.
"That's hard to say, the sect leader had the strength to break through to the Profound Realm, hence he chose to go into seclusion. As you know, reaching a breakthrough in martial arts is extrely difficult, and breaking through to the Profound Realm requires an opportunity, making the duration of seclusion unpredictable."
Shi Yi felt a slight disappointnt in his heart.
"It's alright, you can stay in the Tang Sect and wait. Once the sect leader breaks through, you can et him." Tang Hu said with a smile, "From now on, you will be the young mistress of the Tang Sect."
Tang Hu continued to smile, "Currently, most of the important figures of the Tang Sect are not within the sect; they've been dispatched to manage other areas and industries. In a few days, I will also leave, and you won't see around. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Ren Feng looked at Shi Yi, who pondered for a mont, "Tang Dieyi, whose disciple was she?"
"She was a disciple taken by the old sect leader. The old sect leader only took in three disciples: Tang Dingtian, Tang Hongtu, and Tang Dieyi. Later, Tang Dieyi defected, the old sect leader passed away, and the Tang Sect ended up as it is now."
Tang Hu sighed a bit, "Although the Tang Sect cannot be considered in decline, it is also not prosperous. Many of the secret martial arts techniques in the Tang Sect are rarely inherited by anyone."
...
Coming out of Tang Hu's room, Ren Feng looked at Shi Yi beside him.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Shi Yi shook her head, "Even though I was ntally prepared, it was still overwhelming to truly learn about my origins."
"It's okay, I'll be with you."
Gently patting Shi Yi's back, he walked with her along the small paths of the Tang Sect.
The architectural layout of the Tang Sect was built superbly, emphasizing harmony between heaven and humans, feng shui, and nature, truly a winding path leading to a secluded spot, surrounded by the pleasant chirping of birds and fragrant flowers.
Ren Feng felt a sense of relief in his heart, knowing that the only thing left to do was wait. Once Tang Dingtian erged from seclusion to reunite with his daughter, this trip to the Tang Sect would be a success.
Yet, inexplicably, Ren Feng felt a slight unease inside. He then chuckled at himself: what could possibly go wrong here at the Tang Sect?
The two walked quietly, when suddenly Shi Yi asked, "Has your illness improved?"
Ren Feng was montarily taken aback and then said, "No, but it can still be suppressed, no need to worry too much."
Shi Yi nodded, "If my father... the sect leader doesn't co out of seclusion, we might have to wait longer. What about the guild then?"
Shi Yi might have felt uncomfortable addressing Tang Dingtian as her father, changing back to "sect leader" halfway through.
Ren Feng smiled, "No need to worry for now, I'll notify Catherine to have soone manage the guild. Currently, there's no conflict between the Wind God Hall and other forces, so the guild shouldn't be a concern."
"Okay."
Shi Yi nodded.
...
The third day.
The previous martial arts competitions and cultivation technique exchanges had finished, leaving only the final process of the martial arts exchange.
"Ladies and gentlen, you must have heard, decades ago our Tang Sect produced a legendary figure!"
In the main hall, Tang Hongtu stood before everyone, his tone was filled with pride and excitent.
Zhang Jianliang and the others nodded, smiling as they said, "Of course we know, back then Tang Yunfei of the Tang Sect was a na recognized by everyone!"
"Indeed, Senior Yunfei was the one in our Tang Sect who reached the highest realm, he had attained the Profound Realm!"
Ren Feng's attention was also caught; the Profound Realm?
"Unfortunately, after leaving behind a set of insights about a technique, Senior Yunfei left the Tang Sect and disappeared. Furthermore, to this day, no one has been able to comprehend that technique."
Tang Hongtu spoke with a hint of regret.
Zhang Jianliang and the others were a bit excited, "Are we going to see the technique left by Senior Yunfei?"
"Precisely, but I must tell you, whether you can comprehend this technique depends entirely on personal fortune."
"Naturally."
Then, under Tang Hongtu's guidance, the group headed towards a higher peak on the left.
Climbing the mountain peak, they looked out to see a series of towering green peaks, with a clear river below. Above, the sky was blue with white clouds; the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
Zhang Jianliang and others were a bit puzzled, "Where is the technique? There's no technique here?"
Tang Hongtu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, everyone, the technique left by Senior Yunfei is not a simple one. Back then he said that his strongest move is left here; whether you can comprehend it depends on your fortune."
Zhang Jianliang and the others were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the so-called technique would be a piece of beautiful scenery.
"This..."
They looked at each other in confusion.
"I can understand your feelings, but this is indeed the case. Senior Yunfei integrated his move into this scenery. Honestly, I couldn't believe it either, but that's what he said at the ti, and we can't possibly doubt Senior Yunfei, can we?"
Zhang Jianliang nodded, "Indeed, Tang Yunfei was a master of the Profound Realm, his techniques are naturally different from ours. I've heard that upon entering the Profound Realm, there's a chance to enter an extrely mysterious state, where the techniques comprehended there are terrifying, capable of altering the heavens and earth with a wave of the hand."
"Then we should try to comprehend it."
The others nodded and began to sit and observe the scenery.
Soon, the mountain peak quieted down.
"Would you two like to stay and try to comprehend it, or do you need to show you around the Tang Sect?" Tang Hongtu asked Ren Feng.
Ren Feng smiled, "No need, we will stay."
Tang Hongtu nodded, found a stone to sit down on, and closed his eyes silently.
Ren Feng looked at the scenery and found a spot with Shi Yi to sit.
He gazed at the unremarkable green peaks and river, feeling skeptical internally. Could there really be a technique here?
