Besides Tang Xin, the other female disciple is Tang Tian, the current Sect Leader's biological daughter. With cultivation ranked fourth, she nearly matches the silent Tang Zhan.
This is also the reason why Tang Nan is Tang Tian's close cousin, as both grew up together like siblings, without any romantic feelings, let alone any intention of uniting.
Of course, Tang Nan isn't the type to fancy a woman stronger than himself, as that would only make him a laughing stock.
Should the couple ever fight and he fails to overpower his wife but instead gets dominated by her, it would be a disgrace, and the ridicule would be abundant if word got out.
That's why he never harbored such feelings towards Tang Tian, instead, Tang Nan has shown great enthusiasm towards Tang Xin, who has both beauty and strength, launching a vigorous pursuit...
However, his pursuit might have been too aggressive, not only failing to win Tang Xin's approval but seemingly even scaring her away, forcing her to take refuge outside the Tang Sect.
Tang Nan seemingly didn't give up his vigorous pursuit just because Tang Xin left; upon careful inquiry, he quickly followed, even obtaining accurate information about her heading to the Gelan Tribe.
Tang Wei didn't pay much attention to Tang Nan's words. The situation had not yet escalated that far, and everything remained uncertain. Even if it did reach that point and Tang Nan resorted to unsavory methods, Tang Wei didn't see a problem…
Because Tang Nan holds an exceptional status within the Tang Sect, being a pure-blooded member of the Tang Clan, which practically places him in a privileged class higher than other disciples not from the Tang Clan.
For female disciples like Tang Xin, who don't belong to the Tang Clan, his presence is exceedingly daunting. If something adverse were to happen to Tang Xin and it blew up to the Sect Elders Council, the Tang Clan would undoubtedly step in to protect him; otherwise, where would the Tang Sect's honor lie?
That is why Tang Nan seems so fearless.
Of course, within the Tang Sect, such incidents would not occur. There are many disciples pursuing Tang Xin, not just one or two. The numbers are quite substantial, including disciples like Tang Nan who share the Tang Clan bloodline. If Tang Nan were to resort to tricks, not only would he fail to win Tang Xin's approval, but he would likely be the first to be eliminated.
Tang Xin, overwhelmed by constant harassment within the Sect, had no choice but to temporarily escape until the fervor of these people somewhat subsided before returning.
Not many knew about this, only those closest to Tang Xin were aware. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the news started to leak, allowing Tang Nan to pursue her here.
Qin Fang might not even realize that his casual pointing hoped to quicken the Tang Sect members' finding Tang Xin but ended up making things worse, not helping her, and from the looks of it, possibly even harming her.
However, these details are obviously unknown to Qin Fang; he has only met Tang Xin twice and can hardly be considered familiar, at best merely an acquaintance.
He does possess the Mind Reading Technique, but Tang Xin, always calm and composed, is unaffected by Qin Fang's skill; naturally, he couldn't be aware of these matters.
Not paying too much attention to this, Qin Fang continued hunting in the woodland until he was satisfied with his gains, then packed up his bow, arrows, and game, leisurely descending the mountain to return to the Nayi Tribe.
Yet, upon his return, not long after he started handling the game, he saw a pony rushing over hurriedly.
The knight on the horse, very familiar to Qin Fang, turned out to be Zhuoma, whose buttocks he had swollen a few days ago. Yet unexpectedly, this girl was here—could it be that the whips were ineffective and she was planning to engage in horseback aggression?
Of course, this was merely Qin Fang's joke to himself. If that approach were effective, Qin Fang would have been whipped into mincemeat long ago.
"Quick… quick… quick…"
Zhuoma rode up to Qin Fang, then dismounted in one swift move, reaching out to grasp him while panting heavily.
Perhaps due to excessive urgency or nervousness, her words were unclear, repeating the same word several times without making any clear statement.
"What's the rush? Speak up…"
Qin Fang, looking unimpressed, could vaguely sense Zhuoma's urgency as if something significant had happened. However, with Zhuoma speaking so unclearly, understanding her was difficult.
Qin Fang, while talking, gently caressed Zhuoma's back with his palm, not to take advantage, but to use his True Qi to calm Zhuoma's agitated breath.
"Quick, come with me, something has happened..."
It took Zhuoma a while to catch her breath; her face was pale as she looked at Qin Fang. She did not mind the contact of Qin Fang's hand on her body but said anxiously, "Master... Master has been captured by them..."
Qin Fang was startled by her words, obviously not expecting this, but his mind quickly shifted, and the figures of those three people immediately popped into his mind.
"Captured? Are you talking about those three people from the Tang Sect?"
However, Qin Fang wasn't completely sure and immediately asked. Since Zhuoma said so, she must know the situation best. Relying solely on his own guesses was useless; he still needed to see what the facts were.
"It's them... How did you know?"
Zhuoma almost nodded without thinking, but then she suddenly paused, her eyes filled with surprise, finding it hard to imagine how Qin Fang could have known that it was three people from Tang Sect.
"Let's not talk about that. Why would those three want to capture your master..."
Qin Fang ignored her, just frowned and asked, apparently, his unsolicited pointing out of the direction seemed not to be a good thing, but rather made a bad situation worse.
"That Tang Nan likes my master, but my master doesn't like him at all. This time he wanted to capture my master and even said... even said..."
Zhuoma said with a pale face, explaining some of the situation she knew to Qin Fang, but at this point, she paused somewhat, her face showing some very abnormal expressions.
Finally, she bit her teeth and said, "He even said he wanted to make things irreversible by forcing a union..."
At these words, Qin Fang also managed to clarify all the facts. It turns out that the person who appeared very modest and polite was actually a hypocrite, capable of committing such despicable acts of bullying men and women.
Outside the mountain, such things were also not uncommon. Those second-generation rich and officials often did such things. There was even an official who, when his love was not reciprocated, threw gasoline on the girl, causing severe burns, and there were even more outrageous things that happened but were not exposed.
But he didn't expect that even within the Tang Sect, an ancient hidden sect that had been secluded for hundreds of years, such villainous Young Masters still existed.
Inevitably, Qin Fang couldn't say much, but the problem was that the woman about to be harmed was also considered a friend to Qin Fang, who had even once thought about coaxing her to leave the mountain with him.
"My master doesn't like that bast*rd Tang Nan at all; she likes you..."
Seeing Qin Fang still hesitating, Zhuoma became even more anxious. Tang Xin was captured by Tang Nan and his two followers, each of whom was extraordinarily powerful. Even her master Tang Xin couldn't resist them, and Zhuoma with her limited skills was even less a match, unable to fend off even the weakest, Tang Wei.
Among the high-level fighters she knew, it seemed that only the deeply despised Qin Fang could help her. Of course, Song Qingshan, Qin Fang's bodyguard, was also said to be extremely powerful. These two might be able to help...
As for others, even if she could gather hundreds of warriors from the Gelan Tribe, they wouldn't be able to handle these three villains.
Hundreds of people might be able to shoot these three with arrows, but Tang Xin wouldn't be spared either. Not to mention, the capabilities of those three were too terrifying, especially their proficiency with hidden weapons, which was simply astonishing and made people tremble with fear.
If it really came to a large-scale conflict, although the other side had fewer people, their strength was formidable. Even if her hundreds of warriors could wipe out the opponents, the loss on their side would be severe, not achieving victory without losing dozens of lives.
Moreover, the people of the Gelan Tribe wouldn't likely offend those from the Tang Sect over an outsider. Even if they were lucky to kill those three, they would have to face the siege of even more experts from the Tang Sect. A night attack could easily annihilate thousands of people from the Gelan Tribe.
This kind of annihilation of an entire tribe had happened several times over the centuries. The people in the mountains thought it was divine punishment for offending the gods, but Zhuoma vaguely knew that it was the work of Tang Sect.
The people of the Gelan Tribe couldn't act, and Zhuoma couldn't just watch her master and close sister Tang Xin be harmed by such a scoundrel like Tang Nan.
After thinking it over, the only enemy with the strength she deeply hated who could help was Qin Fang, so she put aside her pride and quickly came to the Nayi Tribe to seek help.
And to attract Qin Fang's intervention, at this moment, she blurted out this sentence, directly making Qin Fang's eyes widen in shock, his face surprised. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcomed to vote and support on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
