Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

Under Tang Tian's watchful gaze, Gu Xiaoxue's figure disappeared outside the purple bamboo forest.

Although she seemed to have regained her previous optimistic demeanor, Tang Tian could sense that something had changed.

Betrayal from loved ones is not easily digested.

And there was Elder Hanhai...

Tang Tian shook his head.

Forget it, everyone goes through a process from immaturity to maturity, and no one can avoid it.

At the age of sixteen, it's about time to see the world clearly.

It may not necessarily be a bad thing to see reality early.

In a sense, Gu Xiaoxue is indeed lucky to have met him.

Compared to women, he focuses more on his own strength, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it's really hard to make a move!

But if she had encountered someone like Shentu Feng, it would have been truly disastrous.

Sighing once again, Tang Tian closed the formation and returned to his cultivation chamber.

Give her some time to digest it properly.

Anyway, with his current identity and status, as long as he says a word, he can easily be promoted to the Heavenly Mansion, even with his eyes closed.

For Gu Xiaoxue and the others, they are more like trusted confidants to be cultivated.

As long as they have a healthy mental state, it doesn't matter what happens.

Tang Tian continued his cultivation.

However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Xiaoxue came back the next morning.

But she didn't come back alone. Elder Hanhai actually came with her to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

"Please come in."

Tang Tian was slightly surprised and invited Elder Hanhai into the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Under the old locust tree, Tang Tian, Elder Hanhai, and Xiaoxue sat together.

"Elder, is there something you came here for today?"

Tang Tian asked directly.

The last time they talked, they didn't get along well, so he didn't want to beat around the bush.

Elder Hanhai stroked his beard and smiled, "I came here today specifically to thank you."

"I never expected that you could cultivate Xiaoxue so well."

"I was really surprised."

Tang Tian frowned.

What does this mean?

He didn't even ask when he found out that Xiaoxue had become his bodyguard and retainer.

Now that he sees her strength, he specifically comes to thank him.

What's his intention?

After thinking for a moment, Tang Tian said, "Elder, there's no need for that."

"I have my own purpose in cultivating Xiaoxue, and you should know that."

Elder Hanhai smiled and said, "You can't put it that way."

"After all, Xiaoxue is someone I brought into the Qingyue Sect."

"Although I can't make her my direct disciple now, I have always been the one who raised her."

"No one can deny that."

Tang Tian narrowed his eyes.

This guy said so much, but why does it sound like he wants to snatch someone?

You didn't even care before.

Is it really that materialistic?

"I'm actually quite curious."

Elder Hanhai continued, "I'm well aware of Xiaoxue's talent."

"Although she is the child of an Innate, she is outstanding among the disciples in the sect, but because she started practicing late, she missed the best cultivation period."

"So, her overall performance is actually not much different from the disciples with nine-ring talent."

"I'm very curious about what methods you used to make her undergo such a transformation in such a short period of time."

Tang Tian shook his head slowly, "Xiaoxue's progress is entirely due to her own efforts. At most, I provided some resources."

"Elder Hanhai, let's not talk about these matters."

"What is your purpose for coming here today?"

He no longer intended to continue with the empty talk with Hanhai.

Hanhai stroked his long beard and glanced at Gu Xiaoxue beside him before saying, "Then I'll be direct."

"I want Xiaoxue to leave the Purple Bamboo Courtyard and return to my side."

Tang Tian immediately frowned, thinking that it would turn out this way.

Hanhai saw Xiaoxue's current growth speed and couldn't help but be moved.

He wanted to bring her back again.

But how could Tang Tian easily agree?

However, before Tang Tian could speak, Xiaoxue on the side suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Uncle, weren't you here today to thank Tang Tian?"

"You didn't mention this to me at all!"

Her face was filled with astonishment.

However, Hanhai waved his hand directly, saying, "You have no say in this matter."

Then, he said to Tang Tian, "This is the purpose of my visit today."

Tang Tian looked at the complex expression on Gu Xiaoxue's face, then looked at Hanhai, and said in a deep voice, "The sect does not have such rules."

"The agreement between Xiaoxue and I was signed for a full ten years."

Hanhai sneered, "As for the agreement, I will naturally arrange for the Hall of Honor to mediate."

"As for the expenses you have invested in Xiaoxue's cultivation..."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and ten beautiful Innate Dao Jade pieces lay quietly in front of Tang Tian.

"I have inquired, and all the resources you have invested in her since she became your guard amount to less than five pieces of Innate Dao Jade."

"I will double it for you, how about that?"

Hanhai's tone was full of dominance.

Tang Tian's face completely darkened, "You have gone too far, Hanhai."

"To use such things to humiliate me, what do you think I, Tang Tian, am?"

"You can try to manipulate the agreement of the Hall of Honor and see if I have the ability to bring you down with this matter."

Tang Tian's refusal to participate in power struggles did not mean that he had no power.

Now, the Sixth Peak and the Southern Peak were under his control, along with Chi Yuan and the foundation he had laid in the sect in the past few months. The entire Qingyue Sect no longer had anyone who could threaten him head-on.

As long as Hanhai dared to use his influence to destroy the agreement, he could use this to target Hanhai's position as the head elder.

Even if he couldn't bring him down, he could make him very uncomfortable in the future.

Obviously, Hanhai also understood this logic and stared coldly at Tang Tian.

Naturally, Tang Tian would not be afraid. At this point, the two of them had completely torn off their masks.

After confronting each other for a while, Hanhai suddenly smiled and said, "In that case."

"Since we cannot reach an agreement, let's leave the choice to Xiaoxue."

"After all, this is a matter concerning her future, right?"

Tang Tian immediately furrowed his brows.

This old guy had probably already planned this when he came here today.

Did he really have to involve her as well?

The confrontation between the two had already put Gu Xiaoxue in a dilemma.

One was the elder who brought her into the sect and helped her grow.

The other was the one who rescued her in times of danger and allowed her to undergo a transformation.

For her to choose under such circumstances was simply cruel!

Can you really bear to do this?

However, Hanhai did not feel this way.

Seeing that Tang Tian did not speak, he directly looked at Gu Xiaoxue.

"Choose, Xiaoxue."

"Are you with me or with him?"

His calm words made Gu Xiaoxue tremble.

She looked at Hanhai, then looked at Tang Tian on the other side, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She truly didn't know what to do anymore.
