The First Saint of Dan Dao
Chapter 35: Phantom Step
"The Tang family awaits Mrs. Lin's arrival..." Tang Ling had not expected that his grandson was so powerful and could come up with such a miraculous elixir. He felt extremely happy for a moment.
"Mr. Tang, I wonder where this elixir came from. Is there a chance to get it?" Wu Xuan looked at Tang Yan and asked with a smile.
Men and women in the hall all looked at Tang Yan at the same time, especially the women, who all pricked up their ears with eager looks on their faces.
"There is only one, and I got it by accident. I'm afraid I can't find a second one." Tang Yan smiled secretly. He made this pill himself, and he produced six pills in one cauldron. But things are precious because they are rare. If he said he had more, wouldn't it just make this gift less valuable?
When they heard Tang Yan say no, all the women looked disappointed.
After Tang Yan’s generous gift, all the gifts given afterwards paled in comparison.
Fortunately, the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion was relatively gentle and popular. The banquet was full of joy and joy, and it ended near the evening.
After the banquet, Tang Yan was about to leave when the city lord called him, "Tang Yan, come with me."
Amid the complicated gazes of others, Tang Yan and the city lord left others with an intriguing back view.
Among all the major families in Yuncheng, the Tang family became the biggest winner in this banquet. Not only did they stand out at the banquet, but they also successfully gained favors from the City Lord's Mansion, deterring other families that were plotting against the Tang family and giving the Tang family some buffer time to rise.
The losers were naturally the other three families. Of course, the most furious was the Liu family. The two schemes they had planned against the Tang family were all resolved by the Tang family. And because of the Qian family's problems, the families that depended on the Liu family would definitely have some thoughts in their minds.
City Lord's Mansion.
A high pavilion.
Lin Xiao and Tang Yan stood side by side with their hands behind their backs, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. They could actually see most of Yuncheng.
"Tang Yan, do you think that as the city lord, I follow the way of benevolence or the way of the king in managing Yuncheng?" After standing for a while, the city lord opened up and asked leisurely.
"Neither." Tang Yan thought for a moment and answered.
"Oh?" City Lord Lin suddenly became interested and asked with a smile, "How can it be none of them? Then what path do you think I am taking?"
"The city lord has not taken any specific path. He has adopted the principle of educating the people with virtue and ruling by inaction." Tang Yan said honestly.
"What a great way to govern by doing nothing. Then what path are you, the Tang family, taking?" the city lord asked meaningfully.
"I won't offend others unless they offend me. The Tang family just wants to live in peace with the world." Tang Yan said truthfully.
The city lord narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and asked again, "So, tell me, is it right or wrong for me to take the path of inaction?"
"There is no absolute right or wrong, only appropriate or inappropriate. As for whether it is appropriate or not, the city lord must have some considerations in his mind." Tang Yan responded simply.
Lin Xiao now had a higher opinion of Tang Yan. He had also talked with other outstanding children from other families, but when asked this question, everyone talked freely, analyzed the pros and cons, and convinced himself with ideas that were suitable for the development of their own family.
But Tang Yan was different. The Tang family would belong to Tang Yan in the future. Tang Yan's words also showed an attitude that as long as no one offended him, the Tang family would not become a threat to the City Lord's Mansion. So his words were the most pertinent and were successfully recognized by Lin Xiao.
"Then tell me, what is the kingly way?" The city lord seemed to be in the mood for chatting and asked with a smile.
"Some people refused to obey and ran over him."
Hearing Tang Yan's answer, Lin Xiao was stunned. In all his life, no one had ever explained this to him.
This answer is simple and crude, but it hits the mark and is very much to my liking.
Raising his eyebrows, Lin Xiao continued to ask: "Then what is domineering?"
"If you obey, run over it!"
Lin Xiao's brows jumped again. This answer was still something he had never heard of before, but it was more direct and clear. Moreover, such an answer was also very domineering and very suitable for this question.
"Then what is benevolence?" the city lord asked again.
"Before you run over it, let me give you a warning."
"Hahahahahaha..." Hearing this answer, Lin Xiao laughed out loud with his head tilted back. Tears almost came out of his eyes. It seemed that he hadn't been this happy in a long time.
"Good, good answer!" After a long time, Lin Xiao stopped laughing and cheered loudly.
Lin Xiao did not keep Tang Yan for long. In less than half an hour, Tang Yan came out of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was already close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sky was getting darker and earlier. When Tang Yan walked on the road, it was already pitch black around him. Taking advantage of the dim night light, Tang Yan walked towards the Tang family.
Anyway, there was no one on the road, Tang Yan had an idea, he had nothing to do when he returned, why not practice some body skills? If there was a strong enemy in the future, even if he couldn't beat him, he could still run away.
After searching his memory again, Tang Yan chose a set of steps called "Phantom Steps".
This set of footwork is very much in line with its name. When practiced to perfection, one can move silently, be as agile as a ghost, and be extremely fast. It is not only a means of escaping, but also a good means of killing people and robbing.
However, good footwork is naturally very difficult to practice. Because of that weird movement, Tang Yan staggered after just two steps and almost fell to the ground.
Tang Yan, who didn't believe in evil, practiced again, and twisted twice like last time. This time, because he used too much force, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Where you fall, there you get up. Tang Yan is not a person who gives up easily. Once he has set his mind on something, he will do it unyieldingly.
"Bang!" He fell down.
"Bang!" He fell down again.
"Bang!" He fell for the third time...
Fortunately, there was no one around at this time. If someone saw Tang Yan, they would probably think he was a lunatic, as he fell more than twenty times in just a hundred meters.
They were halfway home when it was almost midnight, and Tang Yan was already covered in dust and looked disheveled.
After falling hundreds of times, Tang Yan finally figured out the trick. From his original snail's pace, he could walk one minute faster than a normal person.
After another hour, Tang Yan had become somewhat proficient in this set of steps, and his speed was no different from that of an ordinary person running.
Tang Yan was completely immersed in this set of footwork. This set of footwork was truly exquisite. Every time he took a step, the eight directions fell at will, making it impossible to grasp the trajectory.
At this moment, Tang Yan was like a child who got a new toy. He was completely immersed in it and even changed direction. Instead of going back to the Tang family, he ran out of the city.
In the darkness of the night, Tang Yan practiced step by step, making each move extremely proficient, and then integrated these already skilled moves to make them flow smoothly.
Fortunately, Tang Yan carried the Gaoling Pill with him, which ensured a constant supply of true energy in his body. With Tang Yan's continuous practice, his movement speed became faster and faster.
Suddenly, Tang Yan paused, his hair stood on end, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from the bottom of his heart.
