Chapter 882: Chapter 882 [Tang Yunhe]

“Grandma Tang and the Young Master have returned from the ancestral land.”

“Great, I’ll go check on them right away.”

As he got out of bed, Ye Chenfeng pondered what scene might unfold next.

Why did it make him so restless, evoking his bloodthirsty side?

It had even activated the Holy Grail’s energy, unleashing such terrifying power that it nearly destroyed the entire mountain.

But now, with the stone pillar and the pearl both destroyed, it seemed impossible to know Su Hanjing’s secret, even for Grandma Tang. But maybe, perhaps, Grandma Tang had other ways.

“Grandma Tang, Hanjing, are you back?”

Ye Chenfeng asked as he entered the hall.

“Yes! Brother Ye!”

Su Hanjing was delighted to see Ye Chenfeng.

“Mr. Ye, you should now call her Wenyan!” Grandma Tang corrected.

“Oh right, I should call her Wenyan. I’m just so used to it that I forgot,” Ye Chenfeng replied with an embarrassed smile.

“Wenyan, are you alright?” Ye Chenfeng asked, though he found the name quite awkward.

Su Hanjing shook her head, “I’m fine. Grandma treats me very well.”

Grandma Tang’s gaze suddenly turned incredibly sharp, sweeping over the faces of all the elders and other prominent figures of the Tang Sect.

“What is it, Grandma Tang? Did something happen?” The elder asked, perplexed.

After scanning the room, Grandma Tang finally spoke, “Someone just broke into the ancestral land.”

Her words shocked everyone present.

After a long silence, someone exclaimed, “How is that possible? Not to mention the mechanisms leading to the ancestral land, just the guards at its entrance are terrifyingly formidable, a near-impregnable defense. How could someone break in? They must be an incredibly powerful master.”

“Indeed! It’s unimaginable that someone could break into the ancestral land!”

…

The crowd generally refused to believe, considering it an impossible feat.

“There are other passages!” Grandma Tang said sternly.

“What? There are other entrances to the ancestral land?”

This revelation stunned everyone once again, no less than the prior shock.

“How could there be other entrances, Grandma Tang?” The elder looked incredulous.

“There are, but they are in perilous crevices in the cliffs, places hardly anyone would know about. Today was my first time witnessing it and discovering that there is indeed an entrance there!” Grandma Tang’s tone was filled with astonishment.

“If even such places can be found, it must be someone within the Tang Sect!” Someone speculated.

“Exactly, only someone familiar with the terrain around the Tang Sect could find it, even Grandma Tang didn’t know of it.”

…

The crowd buzzed with heated discussions.

“I don’t know about that, but two people entered the ancestral land this time. When I discovered them, both of them escaped through that entrance,” Grandma Tang said casually.

“What? Two people?”

Once again, the crowd was shocked.

“What’s interesting is that the places they hid and their actions while escaping indicated they were not together but were two different groups!” Grandma Tang explained.

“Two groups? One must be from the Tang Sect, and the other is likely an outsider!”

After someone made this guess, all eyes turned to Ye Chenfeng.

“It can’t be Mr. Ye, he’s been asleep the whole time and never left his room. Besides, Mr. Ye only arrived last night, how could he possibly find the entrance in such a short time, considering even Grandma Tang never knew about it.”

Aunt Hua was the first to stand up for Ye Chenfeng.

“Yes, it’s not Mr. Ye! He has no reason!” Grandma Tang said, looking at Ye Chenfeng. Her gaze put a certain pressure on him.

“Then who could it be? Could the Tang Sect be harboring two hidden forces?” Everyone became even more puzzled.

“That’s all for now, I’ll handle this matter. I just wanted to inform everyone,” Grandma Tang said, her composed demeanor masking a deep fury.

“Brother Ye, it seems something strange is going on, has something happened?” Su Hanjing asked softly, looking a bit uneasy.

“It’s nothing, Hanjing. But now that you are the Young Master of the Tang Sect, do you have any thoughts?” Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.

“The only thought I have is to leave this place. I don’t really like it here. I always knew about the Tang Sect from movies and TV, but I didn’t expect it to be real. But it’s not as mysterious as I imagined, just that the ancestral land is odd, and Grandma’s gaze is scary,” Su Hanjing said.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, “If you don’t like it here, then we’ll leave! I’m sure Grandma Tang will agree, as everyone is looking to you now.”

“I don’t want to be the master of the Tang Sect, I just want to be a normal person,” Su Hanjing said discontentedly.

Afterward, Ye Chenfeng and Su Hanjing approached Grandma Tang and expressed Su Hanjing’s wish to leave.

As Ye Chenfeng had anticipated, Grandma Tang readily agreed.

But there was a condition, that she could call Su Hanjing back at any time.

Being able to leave was a dream come true for Su Hanjing, and she agreed without hesitation.

The two then decided to leave the next day, with Su Hanjing spending time with Grandma Tang in the meantime.

Left with nothing to do, Ye Chenfeng wandered around the Tang Sect.

He suddenly saw Tang Xuan sneaking off somewhere. Naturally, Ye Chenfeng followed.

This secluded place was very well hidden, rarely noticed by anyone.

Inside, Ye Chenfeng saw the elder and others.

“Where is Master Uncle?” Tang Xuan asked as soon as he entered.

“Right now, Grandma Tang is secretly sending people to search. Even your Master Uncle Tang Yunhe didn’t dare stay here; he left the Tang Sect long ago,” the elder replied.

“Did Master Uncle mention who the other person was?” Tang Xuan asked curiously.

“Tang Yunhe is also curious about who the other person is. He is certain the person followed him into the ancestral land,” the elder said.

Tang Xuan’s eyes flashed with deep thought, “How did Master Uncle know about this passage?”

“Do you know how Master Uncle Tang Yunhe discovered Su Hanjing’s secret? He had been to the ancestral land before; only he knew about that entrance, and it’s said he even learned Mystic Arts there, leading to his current achievements,” the elder explained.

Tang Xuan nodded, “I see!”

“Did Master Uncle have any suspects? Who could follow him without being noticed?” Tang Xuan asked.

The elder smiled mysteriously, “We know everyone in the Tang Sect, the only one we don’t know well is…

“Ye Chenfeng!”

唐轩 said those three words.
