Chapter 179: Chapter 175: Great Truths in Small Talk
Above the cloud layer, the biting cold wind swept over. Tang Luo and Mr. Xu flew
together, one leading and the other following, towards Xiling City.
“Hey Wait!” Mr. Xu called a stop to the young man who was flying by
manipulating his Qi, and the two of them settled on the cloud layer.
“What is it?” Tang Luo asked casually.
“I feel that something's wrong!” Mr. Xu said, stroking his chin and sizing up Tang
Luo before asking, “Is this your design?”
Tang Luo chuckled lightly but did not deny it.
“What are you trying to do?” Mr. Xu asked, looking utterly confused. He didn’t
understand why, if Tang Luo wanted to kill Gong Zheng, he had to use Mi Shen to
do it. The man was an arrogant and pretentious irritant.
Tang Luo squinted his eyes and did not answer. Instead, he asked: “What do you
think of the Righteous Gang?”
“A bunch of bullies preying on the weak,” Mr. Xu answered casually. “Why?”
“What do you think would happen after the Righteous Gang was wiped out?”
Tang Luo asked, arms crossed over his chest.
“The common people will have peace for a few days, and then another similar
gang will emerge,” said Mr. Xu, spreading his hands with an expression of
helplessness.
The fundamental reason why evilpeople in the world cannot be eradicated is not
that the warriors lack the will to kill. Instead, even if you kill all the evil people you
can see, in two years’ time when you come back, a new crop of villains will have
emerged.
Good and evil are inherent traits hidden within people. As long as there is
humanity, there is both kindness and evil.
The so-called act of supressing the strong to aid the weak is just about replacing
one group of strong with another.
As a warrior who has travelled thirty thousand miles, Mr. Xu had seen too many
times where there was nothing they could do. Some evils were not strong at first.
They were nourished by good people until they eventually swallowed them up.
Good people create evil, and then are destroyed by it. Once goodness
disappears, evil starts to diminish. This means— Kindness is actually the
cradle that nurtures evil.
“If you understand this, it's for the best.” Tang Luo said with a smile, feeling that
he might have saved himself a great deal of talk.
Still puzzled, Mr. Xu showed an innocent expression, waiting for Tang Luo to
explain to him, almost with the implication that he would not leave without a clear
explanation.
Seeing his childishly curious look, Tang Luo began to explain: “The fall of the
Righteous Gang means that many ambitious people will appear, and in order to
accrue power, they might resort to even crueller methods than the current
Righteous Gang.”
In the background of this plain narrative, countless lives would be obliterated.
No matter how the events of the world change, truly pitiable are always those
living at the bottom. Struggling and agonizing, but powerless to do anything
about it. Even when the executioner’s blade is imminent, they could only roar a
few times, but they could not resist the cutting edge.
This group of people is truly pitiful, but they are also truly hateful. They always
think that their fate is predetermined, silently enduring, but never considering a
change.
Mr.Xu somewhat understood it but wasn't sure, so he asked: “What will you do?”
“Hm.” Tang Luo laughed, “I am going to provide some protection for the citizens
of Xiling.”
Mr. Xu was a bit surprised and asked: “You mean...”
Tang Luo nodded and said, “I want to rebuild the Righteous Gang and unify the
streets of Xiling.”
To control ruffians, one has to be a ruffian. Undoubtedly, Gong Zheng is an
excellent ruffian, and what's more important, he’s just a ruffian.
“What about your reputation? Are you going to toss it aside?” Mr.Xu didn’t quite
understand why Tang Luo would want to get involved in this kind of underhanded
business. A revered genius controlling a gang, how would the people of Xiling
view him then?
“In life, one doesn’t only live for fame and fortune, one should also live for what's
right and wrong.” Tang Luo laughed and replied as such.
Wisdom in brief words! Admiration shone in Mr. Xu's eyes. Ordinary people live
for profits, the strong live for their reputation.
Many a hero has lived a lifetime without seeing through just a name, bound by
the name of righteousness, unable to express themselves. But this younger
cousin of his seemed so carefree.
On second thoughts, he was afraid that the cousin was only impulsively acting
out of sentiment. After all, if a gang does not do underhanded things, where
would the money come from? With so many people, he couldn't possibly fund
them all by himself. So, he asked, “What do you plan to do after you've unified
the streets?”
Tang Luo raised an eyebrow and asked, “You're curious about this too?”
“How are you going to support so many people without those...those things?” Mr.
Xu answered a little annoyed.
Tang Luo smiled slightly and casually said, “You'll know in the future. Are you still
looking for your martial arts hall?”
“Of course lam!” Mr. Xu answered decisively. “By the way, who was saying
something about your servant earlier, what's up with that?”
Seeing the nosy look on his elder cousin, Tang Luo shook his head and flew
straight to Xiling City.
He needed to intercept Gong Zheng's wife and children. If they ran around and
ended up in South City, then it might turn into a serious situation quickly.
Tang Ming's Mansion
As the oldest among the representatives of three branches, Tang Ming has
always organized the major affairs of the branch. But after the impeachment last
year, he suddenly felt that he no longer recognized Tang Cunfu and Tang Qi.
The three of them hadn't been in contact for a long time, and they hadn't even
seen each other at the clan annual meeting. Today was their first meeting since
last year.
The three sat in the hall. Although Tang Ming was sitting on the high position in
his own mansion, he felt inexplicable chills along his spine because Tang Cunfu
actually raised the impeachment proposal again, and this time, he was even
more prepared.

“Yes, elder brother Ming!” Tang Qi agreed, “I also think that Tang Zhi is too selfish
and is no longer suitable for the position of Clan Leader!”
There was a flicker of sadness in Tang Ming's eyes. These two people weren't
even willing to call him the clan leader, but called him Tang Zhi instead. The
eagerness that replaced it was so intense that they didn’t even try to hide it.
At this point, he could only say resignedly: “Tang Cunfu, Tang Qi. If you came
here to get me to join you in impeaching the clan leader, I'm sorry but I cannot
agree.”
Hearing Tang Ming's direct refusal, Tang Cunfu’s face immediately grew cold.
With wrath he asked, “Why won't you assist me? Just how much has Tang Zhi
promised you to make you neglect our years of friendship?!”

He believed that if he becomes the leader, with Tang Qi and Tang Ming as his
aides, the three of them together could control the Tang Family and elevate it to a
level beyond its current state.
In the face of Tang Ming's decisive refusal, Tang Cunfu was heartbroken.. Why
couldn't Tang Ming understand, he wasn't doing this to seize power and profit,
but to develop the Tang Family even better?
