Chapter 10: The Story of Tang Shaozhen.
After practicing on the back mountain of the Tang family for a day, Tang Yi followed Tang Shao Zhen home for dinner. Tang Yi still didn't comprehend the power of thunder, but he learned "White Dragon Kick". Now Tang Yi's speed has greatly improved.
After finishing dinner, Tang Yi returned to bed and lay down. Today's training was quite exhausting, and Tang Yi quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Tang Yi woke up very early. After washing up and preparing to go for a morning run with Tang Shaoyang, he met Tang Shaozhen. Tang Shaozhen looked at Tang Yi and said, "Yi, are you ready for the morning run?"
Tang Yixiao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, second brother, I was just about to go call Shao Yang."
Tang Shaozhen walked up to Tang Yixiao and held her little hand, saying, "Great! Then let me accompany you to find Shao Yang together!"
"Great!" Tang Yi followed Tang Shaozhen to find Shao Yang together. Shao Yang happened to wake up and walked out of the room. The three of them went for a morning run together. Tang Yi's leg strength has improved after practicing "White Dragon Leg". As long as he trains his physical body more, Tang Yi believes that he will become stronger and stronger.
Soon, the three of them ran to the back mountain. After they stopped, Tang Shaoyang smiled and looked at Tang Yi, saying, "Yier, it seems like your strength has improved a lot! You're really fast now!"
@ @ @ Tang Yixiao scratched his head modestly and said, "How can that be! It's still the elder brothers who are amazing!" Although he said so, Tang Yixiao clearly realized that his current strength had indeed improved significantly. He could now cultivate and open up his Ren Tong Er Mai, allowing his Dantian to absorb spiritual energy and open up all the meridians in his body. Now, all the physical training Tang Yixiao had done had tripled in effectiveness. This feeling was really great for Tang Yixiao. What he needed most was to cultivate his physical body, and now that the speed of physical cultivation had increased, it was definitely a rare and precious opportunity for Tang Yixiao.
Tang Yi sat on a large rock, a few strands of breeze brushing against his cheeks. He sat in a shady spot, feeling the clear autumn breeze and the surge of spiritual energy around him. Tang Yi was contemplating the power of thunder, with flashes of lightning appearing in his mind. However, he couldn't grasp these lightning bolts. He wanted to hold them in his hands, but lightning was too fast. In the end, Tang Yi gave up trying and sighed, opening his eyes. Tang Shaozheng looked at Tang Yi and didn't say much. He just gently touched his head and said, "Let's go! Yi'er, Shaoyang, let's go back and have a meal!"
Tang Yi and Tang Shaoyang nodded, and the three of them went back to the Tang residence to have a meal. After finishing breakfast, Tang Hongjing called Tang Shaozhen over and whispered in his ear, "Later, take your little brother to the mining site!"
Tang Shaozhen was a little confused and asked, "Why take my younger brother there?"
Tang Hongjing knocked on Tang Shaozhen's head and said, "You fool! Tang Yi can now cultivate. It's time for him to establish his own power. As his older brother and his father, shouldn't we help him? With Tang Yi's current prestige, he will suffer a great loss in the future when competing for power!"
Tang Shaozhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Father, you have thought it through. You want me to take Tang Yi to the mine to gain experience and compete for the support of the miners, is that right?"
Tang Hongjing nodded and said, "Do you understand now? I think you should know what to do, right?"
Tang Shaozhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, I'll handle it! You know me!"
Tang Hongjing nodded and said, "Be careful not to let Yier get hurt!"
Tang Shaozhen nodded and then walked over to Tang Yi who was still looking at the pancakes. Tang Shaozhen smiled and looked at Tang Yi, saying, "Yier! Do you want to go to the mine with Second Brother later to have a look?"
Tang Yi was taken aback and scratched her head, asking, "What's Second Brother doing at the mine?"
Tang Shaozhen picked up Tang Yi and pinched his nose, saying, "Second Brother is going to the mine to help Big Brother with some things! Second Brother wants to take you with him to have a look! Is that okay?"
Tang Yixiao smiled and said, "Sure!" Tang Yixiao looks very adorable when smiling, with two dimples that are so charming. He has tender and fair skin, and a voice that is sweet and soft like milk. Tang Shaozhen really likes his younger brother Tang Yixiao.
Tang Shaozhen hugged Tang Yi and walked out of the Tang Mansion. Tang Yi looked at Tang Shaozhen and twisted her own butt, saying, "Second Brother, can Yier walk down by herself?"
Tang Shaozhen smiled and said, "You don't have to, Yier. Just wait here for a while! The mine is a bit far, I'll go and fetch the horse, and we'll ride together later!"
Tang Yi heard the horse riding and immediately burst into laughter. A ray of sunlight fell on Tang Yi's face. His laughter was so innocent and adorable. His hair gently fluttered, making him even more adorable.
Tang Yi has never ridden a horse, only a carriage. However, he often sees people from the Tang family riding horses or motorcycles, and they always have an envious look on their faces. He has ridden a motorcycle before when he was five years old and went out to play with his older brother.
This was Tang Yiyi's first time riding a horse. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves awakened Tang Yiyi from her reminiscence. Tang Shaozhen appeared in front of Tang Yiyi, leading a black horse. Tang Yiyi looked at the horse, which was much taller than herself, and instantly became excited. Tang Shaozhen quickly mounted the horse and then leaned down, extending a hand towards Tang Yiyi. Tang Yiyi reached out and held Tang Shaozhen's hand. With a sudden pull, Tang Yiyi was pulled onto the horse sideways, but still managed to sit on it.
Tang Shaozhen smiled and looked at Tang Yi, saying, "Sit down quickly, we're leaving!"
Then Tang Yi swept her left foot and sat steadily on the horse's back, leaning against Tang Shaozhen's chest. Tang Shaozhen asked, "Are you settled in?"
Tang Yi nodded, and then Tang Shaozhen held the reins in his hand, and the right hand held a whip formed by spiritual energy. With a snap, he shouted fiercely, "Go! Drive!"
and then the horse quickly started running.
Tang Shaozhen looked at the road ahead and said, "Tang Yi, do you know what this horse is called?"
Tang Yi shook his head and asked, "Second brother, I noticed that you don't ride a bike when you go out, but always ride a horse. Does this horse hold any significant meaning to you?"
There was a hint of surprise in Tang Shaozhen's eyes, then he regained his composure and said, "I didn't expect Yier to pay so much attention to me! You even know that I often ride this horse?"
Tang Yi: "But you are my second brother, of course I know!"
Tang Shaozhen: "This horse is called Zidan, it was originally given to Second Brother by your supposed second sister-in-law..." Tang Shaozhen's eyes flickered with a hint of sadness as she said this. Tang Yi was taken aback, realizing that the so-called second sister-in-law did not actually have the status of a wife, as Tang Shaozhen had not married.
Later, Tang Shaozhen talked about her own story. This second sister-in-law is the daughter of a racecourse owner named Chen Yan. Tang Shaozhen and Chen Yan had known each other since they were very young and grew up together. Tang Shaozhen liked Chen Yan very much. Unfortunately, Chen Yan was terminally ill. Tang Shaozhen sought countless doctors to help her, but none of them could do anything. Tang Shaozhen later approached her father, in the year after Tang Yi was born. Tang Shaozhen was only fifteen years old at the time. She looked at Tang Hongjing with determined eyes and told him that she would definitely marry her. She wanted Tang Hongjing to save Chen Yan. However, when Tang Hongjing learned about Chen Yan's illness and realized that her life was coming to an end, he still chose to try because he was moved by Tang Shaozhen's sincere expression. But this was a rare cold disease. Once contracted, it meant death, and there was no cure. Tang Shaozhen didn't believe it and started learning medicine. By the age of sixteen, Tang Shaozhen still couldn't find a solution.
One day, Chen Yan called Tang Shaozhen out and brought him to the foot of a mountain, holding onto the horse named Zi Dan. By that time, Zi Dan had become a spirited steed, and a horse that cultivated its spirit. Chen Yan looked at Tang Shaozhen with a pale face, a sight that he could never forget. Chen Yan said to Tang Shaozhen, "I think I may not live through today! Shaozhen, I really like you! However, I have fallen ill with a severe fever today, and I know that my time is running out. So, from now on, let Zi Dan accompany you! You are truly great, and I really like you, but..."
Tang Shaozhen's face turned grave as he reached out his hand and held Chen Yan's hand, pulling her into his embrace, and said, "Yan'er! Trust me, you can be cured! There must be a way! Right? Please believe in me, okay? Don't leave me!"
Tang Shaozhen felt that the chill on Chen Yan's body was getting stronger. Chen Yan's body was trembling, and Tang Shaozhen held her tighter, but it was of no use. Chen Yan reached out with her other hand and looked at Tang Shaozhen with tears spinning in her eyes. She smiled and said, "You look so beautiful! It's so wonderful to be liked by someone as beautiful as you! Shaozhen, don't cry, it's just fate~ I will always accompany you! It's just that we can't meet each other! Can you sit with me for a while?"
唐少贞脱下外套套在陈燕的身上，陈燕靠着唐少贞的胸口，唐少贞想去一个背风的地方坐着，他怕陈燕冻到，陈燕却拉住唐少贞的手摇了摇头道：“就在这坐着好不好？”
Tang Shaozhen nodded, and the two of them sat on the edge of the cliff. Chen Yan shrank in Tang Shaozhen's arms and whispered, "I am lucky to have you, Tang Shaozhen. I have no regrets with your love! Shaozhen, the sunset is so beautiful today!" Tang Shaozhen didn't look at the sunset; he had been looking at Chen Yan. Chen Yan smiled, a joyful smile, but her pale lips always appeared sorrowful. Tang Shaozhen gently touched Chen Yan's face, feeling the coldness as if he could still sense it, colder than ice. He spoke, "Yan'er, in this lifetime, I, Tang Shaozhen, will not marry anyone but you!"
It was autumn, with fallen leaves all over the ground. After dinner, Chen Yan shuddered, and Tang Shaozhen wanted to hug her and find shelter from the wind behind a big tree. But Chen Yan shook her head. Tang Shaozhen could only hold her tighter, trying to give her more warmth. However, Chen Yan still shivered. Tang Shaozhen took off his upper body clothes and wrapped them tightly around Chen Yan. Chen Yan didn't say much either. She understood Tang Shaozhen, just like Tang Shaozhen understood her.
Both of them didn't say anything. Tang Shaozhen seemed to have countless things to say, but he didn't say a word, until the moon rose and Chen Yan's consciousness began to blur. The chill spread throughout her body, and Tang Shaozhen was startled. He shook Chen Yan and said, "Yan'er! Yan'er! Are you okay?"
Chen Yan trembled and said, "Shao Zhen, it's cold..."
Tang Shao Zhen couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Yan'er! I love you!"
"Shao Zhen! I... also... love... you..." After saying this, Chen Yan's face was covered in frost, and Tang Shao Zhen's pupils dilated as he repeatedly called out Chen Yan's name. However, there was no response...
Tang Shaozhen held Chen Yan and cried for a long time. Finally, he relaxed and lifted Chen Yan up in a princess carry. He looked at the moon, his eyes filled with anger as he said, "What is fate!? To hell with it! Heavenly Lord! Listen carefully! Gods of the Heavenly Realm! Listen carefully! I, Tang Shaozhen, hereby make three vows! One: I will never marry again in this lifetime! Two: I will definitely find a cure for the cold disease! Three: My wife has died today! I will eventually conquer the world and let my wife witness its prosperity! I will achieve enlightenment! You will all see! In the face of true love, things like the Grim Reaper are nothing but illusions! I pledge my hair as a symbol of my vow!"
At this moment, Tang Shaozhen stomped his foot, and a pile of fallen leaves flew up, cutting off his long hair.
The heavens seemed to be moved by the love between these two lovers. A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and a heavy rain poured down, as if it was the heavens' regret. Tang Shaozhen didn't say anything. He held Chen Yan, with Zi Dan following behind. His eyes were ice-cold as they made their way back to the city in the pouring rain. That night, he grew up. From then on, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and his medical skills became exquisite. However, it was rare to see him speak a single word to a woman again.
He looks like a very normal person, but only Tang Hongjing, Tang Zhongqian, and himself know that Tang Shaozhen has really changed a lot. Cold, domineering, cunning, and terrifying, all of these qualities have been demonstrated by him.
The story is over, and the two of them have arrived at the mining site. Tang Yi couldn't snap out of it for a long time. He never expected that his seemingly excellent second brother would have such a tragic experience. Tang Yi knew that when Tang Shaozhen mentioned the word "sister-in-law," he would never have a sister-in-law in his entire life...
