Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Seeing Li Moxuan return, he smiled and waved, "Kid, come and sit down!"

Li Moxuan took off his black robe and mask, placed them aside, and sat down next to him. "Did you need something?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

Tang Tiannan noticed the knife marks on the black robe. "Tsk tsk tsk, looks like you've been through another fierce battle!"

"In just one year, you've taken on twenty-four missions. Considering the travel time, have you been staying here for a month?"

"I gave you such a good place, but it was all for nothing..."

Li Moxuan pursed his lips, "If you want to stay here, you can. I don't stay here often anyway..."

"I'm afraid I won't have time later!"

Tang Tiannan sighed, "I plan to pass the position of Tang Sect Master to Wusheng, and then leave the Tang Sect to take care of some things..."

Li Moxuan knew Tang Wusheng. That guy always had a cold face, as if everyone owed him hundreds of dollars. It was hard not to leave a deep impression on him...

"where to?"

"I'm looking for someone, but I don't know where they are. However, with Di Ting here, I'll find them sooner or later. We'll meet again then..."

Li Moxuan nodded, then asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Mo Lan is about to give birth. I'll leave after her and Wu Sheng's child is born. Don't take on any missions during this time. Just rest here for a while!"

"Row……"

Li Moxuan agreed. Firstly, he did need to rest for a while, and secondly, he had a good relationship with Mo Lan, who had helped him with many things and was much more reliable than Tang Tiannan.

This is a perfect opportunity to stay and break through to the fourth realm of creation...

Chapter 336: Emperor Yan Shennong

"Uncle!"

The courtyard gate of Tingyuxuan was suddenly pushed open, and Tang Wunian ran in, "Uncle, Sister Lan is about to give birth!"

Tang Tiannan was taken aback, then frowned. "What do you mean? Didn't the doctor say it would be a few more weeks before my due date?"

"Sister Lan went into premature labor..."

Upon hearing this news, Tang Tiannan's heart tightened. Could something have gone wrong? He himself had no children, but he had always treated Mo Lan as his own…

"Kid, come on, come with me!"

Li Moxuan didn't hesitate. After all, Mo Lan had been very good to him, and if anything unexpected happened, the power of the divine pearl within him might be able to help.

The two quickly arrived at Huichun Hall, the hospital within the Tang Clan, which specializes in treating various injuries.

Since the old leader died in an assassination attempt a year ago, the newly joined Jiang Ciyou became the new leader, and her guardian deity is the famous Yan Emperor.

However, this Yan Emperor is not the one who experienced the "thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river" phenomenon, but rather Shennong Jiang Shinian, who was revered by later generations as the "first ancestor of Chinese civilization" along with the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan.

When Li Moxuan went out to carry out bounty missions, he crossed borders to kill enemies, inevitably getting injured. So he often came to Huichuntang to treat his injuries, and that's how he got to know Jiang Ciyou.

After learning about her guardian angel, Li Moxuan fell into complete silence...

He felt like he understood something. So, the three martial gods Cao, Sun, and Liu of the Underworld were fighting, and the Great Thousand Gods were fighting the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and Chi You, right?

The fact that the dignified Yan Emperor's guardian deity had reached the initial stage of immortality at such a young age made not only Li Moxuan but also Tang Tiannan feel something was amiss.

Nevertheless, Tang Tiannan still accepted her into the Tang Clan, after all, she was the host of Emperor Yan! Who could refuse such a talent?

By this time, a considerable number of people had already gathered at Huichun Hall. Upon seeing Tang Tiannan arrive, they all made way and bowed, "Sect Master..."

Tang Tiannan ignored them and hurried towards the ward, while Li Moxuan and Tang Wunian followed him in.

Upon seeing this, the people around couldn't help but whisper among themselves:

"Do you think this Ling Yan might be the sect leader's illegitimate son? Why is he being so kind to him..."

"Most likely, and even if not, judging from his appearance, he's the next sect leader..."

"Stop talking nonsense. He hasn't even joined the Tang Clan, how could we possibly give him a position there?"

"What if they join later?"

"..."

When he arrived at the ward, he found that Tang Wusheng was the only person outside. Although he still had a cold face, his tightly clenched hands revealed his inner turmoil.

Upon seeing Tang Tiannan approach, he bowed and greeted him, "Sect Master..."

"You child, never mind..."

Tang Tiannan was too lazy to argue about titles anymore. "How long have you been inside? How's your condition?"

"The situation is alright, Sect Master..."

Jiang Ciyou, the head of Huichuntang, pushed open the door and came out. She took off her gloves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"No surprises, mother and daughter are both here, but because she was premature, the baby is quite weak and will need to stay here for a while..."

Before Jiang Ciyou could finish speaking, Tang Wusheng coldly pushed her aside and walked into the ward...

"That's so rude..."

She knew Tang Wusheng's personality, so she wasn't surprised. She just made a comment, though of course, this was largely due to his wife Mo Lan's good relationships with others.

Otherwise, given Tang Wusheng's personality, he would have already offended everyone in the Tang Clan to death...

Tang Tiannan thanked Jiang Ciyou, "Hall Master Jiang, thank you very much!"

"Sect Master, you flatter me. This is simply my duty. You can go in and take a look; she's a very beautiful girl..."

Without hesitation, Tang Tiannan entered the ward, followed closely by Tang Wunian. Li Moxuan, who had come along, sat down on a bench outside the ward.

He came here hoping to be of any help, but now it seems there's nothing for him at all...

"Oh, Lady Lingyan is back. Why don't you go in and see her?"

Jiang Ciyou took off her gloves and white coat and threw them aside. She removed her mask, revealing a delicate oval face with a straight and refined nose, pale pink lips, and snow-white skin.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, with soft peaks yet a touch of heroism. Her eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of languor and aloofness in their gaze.

Her long, ink-black hair was loosely tied into a half-bun, the ends of which lightly brushed her shoulders, and a pair of simple silver hoop earrings dangled from her ears.

She wore a light gray casual baseball jacket, with a black fitted top underneath, and black tight-fitting athletic pants with white stripes on the sides, which accentuated her slender and straight legs.

A faint smile played on her lips as she sat down next to Li Moxuan, staring at him curiously. "I heard you're the sect leader's illegitimate son, is that true?"

"You believe in these things?"

As Li Moxuan spoke, he moved to sit further away from her, distancing himself from her. He had a feeling that Jiang Ciyou harbored ill intentions towards him, and he had a strange sense of being watched...

Jiang Ciyou was indeed very interested in Li Moxuan, because it was strange that her own guardian deity, Yan Di, couldn't see through who Li Moxuan's guardian deity was!

The fact that Li Moxuan had never revealed who his guardian deity was, nor had he made his guardian deity appear during battles, made her even more interested.

While healing Li Moxuan, she also tried to use her divine power to probe his guardian spirit, but her divine power was blocked. Clearly, Li Moxuan's guardian spirit had exerted its power, and the opponent was very strong...

Jiang Ciyou became even more curious about the identity of Li Moxuan's guardian deity. If it didn't seem to be the Yellow Emperor or Chi You, then who was it?

"Of course I don't believe it. Why don't you tell me?"

"Go ask the old man yourself!"

After Li Moxuan finished speaking, he got up and went into the ward. He knew that Jiang Ciyou was studying medicine but also dabbling in poisons. Getting too close to her might lead to him being given the drug himself...

Am I really that scary?

Jiang Ciyou sighed. Come to think of it, she didn't even know Li Moxuan's real name, let alone his code name "Lingyan." It was truly intriguing...

In the ward, Tang Wusheng carefully took the child from his wife Mo Lan's arms. Looking at his daughter's tiny figure, his face was unusually less cold.

A feeling of joy and happiness welled up inside him; he hadn't felt this way in a long time...

Tang Tiannan smiled and asked, "Wusheng Molan, have you thought of a name for the child yet?"

"Let's call her Xiaoxiao!"

Mo Lan had a faint smile on her face. "I hope she can smile more in the future, and not always have a cold face like her father..."

Li Moxuan, who had just entered the ward, overheard this and was immediately stunned. Xiaoxiao... wouldn't that mean Tang Xiaoxiao?

Chapter 337: A Brilliant Plan

Upon hearing his wife's slightly reproachful words, Tang Wusheng's expression stiffened slightly.

Recalling her efforts to maintain his relationships within the Tang Clan, Tang Wusheng couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

Perhaps I really should let go of the past, for Mo Lan's sake, and for Xiao Xiao's sake, and properly plan my future...

"Come here, let me hug you!"

Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao in his nephew's arms, Tang Tiannan couldn't help but reach out his hand. Tang Wusheng hesitated for a moment, but still carefully handed Xiaoxiao to Tang Tiannan.

He then reached out and took Mo Lan's hand, forcing a smile, "You've worked hard!"

His smile looked strange, perhaps because he hadn't laughed in a long time, but Mo Lan was very happy, knowing that her husband had let go of the past.

Tang Wunian moved closer to Tang Tiannan, looking at Tang Xiaoxiao in his arms. "She's so tiny!"

"Xiaoxiao was just born, so she's definitely small!"

Tang Tiannan's wrinkled face was beaming with a smile. "Wunian, you're going to be my great-uncle now! Remember to protect Xiaoxiao!"

"Yes, I will!"

Noticing Li Moxuan enter through the door, Tang Tiannan turned to him and said, "Kid, want to hug this child?"

Coming to his senses, Li Moxuan stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, but still caught Tang Xiaoxiao. After all, he was a father of several children, and his technique for holding a child was quite skillful.

Seeing him take the child, Tang Tiannan was overjoyed. Now that he had held Xiaoxiao, he would definitely help her no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future. But that wasn't enough...

He coughed lightly. "Kid, since you have no relatives or friends anyway, why don't you let Xiaoxiao recognize you as her godfather?"

what?

Li Moxuan was stunned. Wouldn't that make him Cao Yanbing's godfather? What was this all about?

"That's right, Lingyan, why don't you adopt Xiaoxiao as your goddaughter!"
