Chapter 1607 — A Very Important Person
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What?! You've already broken through? Ha ha, excellent!" Old Master Tang exclaimed with delight. "Outstanding, truly outstanding! At your age, to already possess the strength of a peak middle-stage Profound rank expert — give it time, and reaching the Heaven rank is not out of the question! Yuyu, you came straight to see your grandfather the moment you returned. Could it be that you're here to claim credit? Your father and the others don't know about this yet, do they?"
"I'm sorry, Grandfather. They truly don't know — I haven't had the chance to tell them yet!" Tang Yuyu hurriedly apologized.
"Sigh, I know. You have always wanted to be the young clan head, but I have not given my approval. Are you at this again now that you're back from the trial?" Old Master Tang sighed, then asked.
"Grandfather, let us set that aside for now. The reason I came in such a hurry is about something else entirely..." Tang Yuyu was suddenly torn between laughter and tears. He did want to become the young clan head, but this visit was genuinely about something else!
"Oh? Something else?" Old Master Tang was taken aback.
"It is a matter of the utmost importance!" At this point, Tang Yuyu lowered his voice. "Grandfather, shall we go to the secret chamber?"
Although no one dared eavesdrop outside Old Master Tang's training chamber, the clan's Heaven rank experts were no slouches. If they overheard even a single word of what Tang Yuyu was about to say, it would cause an absolute uproar. Until Old Master Tang gave his nod, Tang Yuyu dared not speak freely.
"The secret chamber?" Old Master Tang grew even more puzzled. "What matter could be so important that it must be discussed inside the secret chamber?"
One had to know — the secret chamber was only ever opened when matters concerning the Tang family's grand development or the selection of the next clan head were to be discussed. In all other circumstances, Old Master Tang would not set foot inside.
"I met someone — someone who can, I believe, change the standing of our Tang family! If my guess is right, the rise of the Tang family is right around the corner!" Tang Yuyu said. "But until this news is confirmed, I can tell you and you alone, Grandfather."
"Oh? You met someone who could change the Tang family?" Old Master Tang furrowed his brow. But seeing how cryptic Tang Yuyu was being, he pondered for a moment before finally nodding. "Very well. You come with me."
With that, Old Master Tang turned and walked toward an ancient painting hanging beside the bookshelf. He gently manipulated the hidden mechanism on the painting's frame, and at once a series of creaking sounds echoed through the room. Where the bookshelf had stood, a secret passage now gaped open!
Although everyone in the Tang family knew about Old Master Tang's secret chamber, the only person the old master had ever summoned inside was the current head of the Hidden Tang Family — Tang Yuyu's own father.
