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.
“| 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 GongZheng, 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 theRighteous 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 hishands 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 hewould 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 ambitiouspeople 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, butpowerless to do anything about it. Even when the executioner’s blade is imminent, they could only roar a few times, but theycould 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, silentlyenduring, 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 justa ruffian.
“What about your reputation? Are you going to toss it aside?” Mr.Xu didn’t quite understand why Tang Luo would want to getinvolved in this kind of underhanded business. A revered genius controlling a gang, how would the people of Xiling view himthen?
“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 repliedas 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 expressthemselves. 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 dounderhanded 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 withthat?”
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 aserious 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. Butafter the impeachment last year, he suddenly felt that he no longer recognized Tang Cunfu and Tang Qi.

“Yes, elder brother Ming!” Tang Qi agreed, “I also think that Tang Zhi is too selfish and is no longer suitable for the position ofClan Leader!”novelbin
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 calledhim 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 clanleader, I’m sorry but | 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?!”
The three branch representativeshave traditionally made progresstogether, sharing honor and disgrace,representing the br ghyfamnily headsreprint ith the clan.Through the years, the three of themhave experienced many trivial andsignificant events that even subtlymade Tang Cunfu feel that whatcontributes to the prosperity of theTang Family wasn’t the lofty TangZhi, but the three of them.
