Tang Luo had a premonition that, if he didn’t change the subject soon, these two might come up with
some terrifying ideas.
“Mother, I have something to inquire about,” he interrupted.
With anticipation on her face, Xu Shuhui looked at Tang Luo. She was speaking for her child’s sake.
Now the fact that the two clans, Tang Mi and her rival, have recruited a large number of people has
raised fear among the clansmen in Xihng. They thought the best solution would be an intermarriage.
Hence the family heads of the Tang Clan in Xiling have received an unprecedented ’ number of self-
recommendations from various clans. The smaller clans propose potential spouses from the younger
generation of the Tang Clan’s separate branches.
Even ordinary dependents of the clan were in high demand, let alone a pride of Xihng like Tang Luo.
However, the threshold of Tang Sen’s family was too high, so only a few large families in Xiling had the
confidence to propose an intermarriage and send pictures of their potential brides.
Although there weren’t many, all the women in the portraits were beautiful A few were so stunning that,
upon seeing them, even she was moved Therefore she had always wanted Tang Luo to take a look at
these portraits and choose ’ one recently.
However, Tang Luo wasn’t interested in these portraits. He was either busy studying martial arts fusion
in the Secret Arts Pavilion or inspecting work at the Star Pavilion.
Her remarks were not just to vent dissatisfaction, but also to remind Tang Luo not to set his sights too
high. After all, in a place like Xiling, it’s already good if you can find a lady of good character. This is not
a large sect; it is not easy to find a like-minded person to build a harmonious union together.
She longed for Tang Luo to marry soon, for the best time to have children for a martial artist is when
they are at the Mortal Realm; once a martial artist enters the Fierce Realm, the chances of pregnancy
will significantly drop.
Their family was thin in numbers, which was concerning. The other branches generally had three wives
and four concubines, and over a dozen children. Not all of them had potential, but they still had the
advantage of numbers.
Now that Tang Sen had entered the Fierce Realm, her chances of getting pregnant again would
decrease significantly. This implies that their family would likely only have three children at last.
Therefore, she was eager for Tang Luo to start his own family soon.
With such an excellent child as mine, he should marry at least eight beautiful wives, Xu Shuhui always
thought so.
Of course, Tang Luo couldn’t understand his mother’s deep concern, and the question he wanted to
ask had nothing to do with these matters.
The son of a saintly family, Xu Lao Ying, exhibited the spirit of speaking out against injustice, which was
commendable. But after speaking out, his soul had been hooked by the brothel, which left Tang Luo
speechless.
But since he had promised to resolve the prohibition order, he would fulfill it He might not always hold
himself to his word, but once he made a promise, he would do everything he could to keep it.
Try his best and prepare for the worst, that was his principle.
Since he promised to resolve the ban in Xiling, he had to start preparing because this policy had been
in effect for over two hundred years in Xiling. Any attempt to abruptly abolish it might encounter
significant resistance.
Fortunately, Tang Luo had now become a sect elder. If it were in the past even if he was known as the
pride of Xiling, he would just be a junior in the clan and wouldn’t have a way to make changes.
“What do you want to ask?” Xu Shuhui, resting her chin on her hand, was brimming with anticipation.
Crossing his hands and placing them at his chest, Tang Luo asked, “How much grain do we still have in
stock at home?”
Feeling a bit curious, Xu Shuhui didn’t understand why he would ask such a question. However, it was
not a secret either. Their home had many businesses, and thus, the stockpile of grain was a bit
scattered. But estimated it should be more than a million dan (a Chinese unit of weight equal to 50 kg).’
She replied, “Your father wanted to store more grain, so he bought two or three granaries last year.
They are all stocked with new grain.”
There should have been more, but some of their new grain had been spent recently in transferring
refugees to Chengzhou, which resulted in the granaries not being fully stocked.
Hearing about the amount of grain his family had stored, Tang Luo was taken aback. One granary can
store 500,000 dan of grain. He couldn’t help but wonder whether his proposal would interfere with Tang
Zhi’s plan, considering they had stored so much grain. As per his assumptions, the large-scale transfer
of martial artists from Chengzhou must have only been a part of the clan leader’s plan. If that was all,
there would have been no need for such extensive preparation and grand gestures. For a moment, his
eyes narrowed, and hundreds of thoughts swirled in his mind.
“What’s the matter, child?” Xu Shuhui’s words abruptly woke him from contemplation.
Given the lack of information, no matter how hard he thought, he would not be able to deduce the clan
leader’s entire plan.
If he couldn’t figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it. He would do what he needed to because
he couldn’t see how abolishing the prohibition order would conflict with Tang Zhi’s plan.
Pondering it this way, Tang Luo became more relaxed, and smiling said, “I want to repeal the
prohibition order.”

Adding and repealing laws is not a small matter. She thought Tang Luo was sympathizing with the
citizens who couldn’t afford the high grain prices and wanted to propose a repeal in his position as the
sect elder. But he was young and had no connections in the council. Who would agree to his proposal?
As the Head of the Martial Hall, Tang Sen did not participate in decision-making related to
administrative laws and simply coordinated with them. Meaning, Tang Sen could not help him with this.
So the chance of this proposal passing was very low. She didn’t want his first proposal to be a failure
so she tried to dissuade him.

Tang Luo nodded at her with confidence, “I already have a plan, mother. Don’t worry.”
Seeing her son’s confident demeanor, Xu Shuhui asked anxiously, “Is there anything you need my help
with?”
Tang Luo waved his hand and said casually, “Thanks for your kind offer, mother, but I can handle this.”
“I have finished eating. I will go back to my room.”
Having said that, he stood up and left the dining room.novelbin
