At the thought that they might win Wei Zhao's support and the Hidden Tang family would soar to prosperity, Tang Taizhong felt that the Hidden You family's paltry help and influence were not worth mentioning at all!
You Xiaoxin nodded meekly and no longer dared to make a scene. Even at her stupidest, she could see that Wei Zhao was now more powerful than the Hidden You family and the Hidden Tang family alike; to offend Wei Zhao would be to bring ruin upon the family: "Father, rest assured, I won't dare again! But you should also thank me for giving birth to Yuyi. If not for him, where would we have gotten the chance to approach Wei Zhao?"
"Mm..." Tang Taizhong nodded, his anger somewhat abated, and said: "Then it's settled. Lingtou, Yuyi, pack up and head for Snow Valley. The sooner this is done, the better. Otherwise, if Senior Wei Zhao has free time and decides to make our Hidden Tang family his first target, we'll be caught unprepared!"
"Understood!" Tang Lingtou and Tang Yuyi hastily assented.
However, the Hidden Tang family were worrying over nothing. Wei Zhao hardly remembered the things that had happened at the Hidden Tang family at all. His memory was disordered because of the Wangqing Grass potion, and he could not even clearly recall what grudge he had with the Hidden Tang family, so there was even less chance of him going to make trouble for them.

Five Luminaries Sect.
In the reception hall of the Five Luminaries Sect, Patriarch Xuanchen was receiving three figures from the secular world. But for Patriarch Xuanchen to receive them in person, the identities of these three were certainly no ordinary matter!
"Patriarch Xuanchen, your fame precedes you!" Among the three, the leader was a young woman—young to an excessive degree. Facing Patriarch Xuanchen at this moment, her manner was neither servile nor overbearing, clearly that of one who had weathered great storms.
"Miss Luan, I'm afraid you only heard the name Xuanchen recently, no? It is I who have long heard of your fame! Head of the Center—the largest human potential research organization overseas!" Patriarch Xuanchen laughed heartily and nodded to the young woman before him.
"Don't call me Miss Luan. I'm probably about as old as you are." The woman called Miss Luan spoke faintly: "I wonder what business Patriarch Xuanchen has with me, that you sought me out through An Liwen?"
"Forgive my bluntness. Earlier I could only guess that behind the Fire Wolf Gang and the Red Conch there existed another, larger and more high-end organization, and that the Fire Wolf Gang and the Red Conch sounded more like branches of some organization. Thinking it over, only the Center—that organization once at its zenith—seemed comparable." Patriarch Xuanchen said: "So, with a try-it-and-see attitude, I invited you through An Liwen."
"I never imagined that after the former Center was destroyed, I kept such a low profile, and yet Patriarch Xuanchen still pieced together the Fire Wolf Gang, the Red Conch, and our Center from the clues!" Miss Luan smiled and said.
"Few things in this world can be hidden from me. Many years ago I already took note of this Center, but since it had little to do with the cultivation world, I did not make contact. Later I heard it had been wiped out—but it seems not. What was destroyed was only the surface." Patriarch Xuanchen said: "Miss Luan, the head of the Center who was destroyed back then was merely one of your pieces, was she not? Just like the Fire Wolf Gang and the Red Conch now?"
