The Way of The Dao

Tang Residence

"Thank you very much, Madam Tang!"

A grateful female voice was heard in the living room where several people were gathered.

Tang Zhi showed a graceful smile as she watched the people she had met.

"All this is due to the efforts of your daughter to have won the tournament. Congratulations to both of them, especially to Miss Qingwu." Tang Zhi turned to see the young woman who was also present at the side, who had won the Star City tournament a week ago.

On Shan Qingwu's beautiful face a beautiful smile blossomed: "Thank you Madam!" She bowed her head in gratitude as well.

Besides Tang Zhi and Shan Qingwu in the living room, there was also Zhang Ruoyan and two other people, apparently Shan Qingwu's parents. There were also the servants of the Tang family who were serving the guests.

Tang Zhi had met with the Shan family after several days of the end of the tournament, and reached an agreement with them about various things.

The Shan family would no longer be a 'plebeian' or poor family, and would now have a status of equal or greater value with the aristocratic families thanks to the Great Tang Family and the other Great Families.

"The Spiritual Elixirs will be given to you so that all the members of your family can quickly increase their levels of martial arts." Zhang Ruoyan spoke soon after, adding more grateful smiles to the pair of adults: "I imagine you must feel so proud to have such a skilled and beautiful daughter too." She and Tang Zhi knew that Shan Qingwu's family was only less than ten people. They could support the Shan family completely.

Shan Qingwu blushed with embarrassment at being called beautiful and curiously peeked around the room, hoping that no one else would be there, especially one person...

However, the two adults smiled with a slight trace of sadness before saying, "We are not really the parents of our beloved Qingwu, but her uncle and aunt. Her mother had died after she gave birth to Qingwu and her father died in the crisis of the demon horde many years ago. We have taken care of her as if she were our daughter and she has always made us so happy and proud even though we have told her that she does not have to suffer all this and can live a normal young girl's life". They smiled lovingly at the sight of Shan Qingwu, with clearly proud and grateful expressions towards her.

Shan Qingwu also smiled back at both people who cared for her and gave her much love as if they were her own parents. She would always remember her parents and knew that they were looking after her from heaven.

Tang Zhi and Zhang Ruoyan were a little surprised by this and felt affection and admiration for this young woman who was as beautiful as a flower.

If only she would wear beautiful, feminine clothes and style her hair that covered a part of her face to hide it, both mothers were sure that Shan Qingwu would be as beautiful as their own daughters. Apparently this girl did not like to attract attention and so she dressed a little badly on purpose...

Zhang Ruoyan and Tang Zhi looked at each other and smiled secretly, understanding that they both had the same thought after hearing all this. "Well, how about moving here to the Tang residence? All of you and your remaining family will be able to live comfortably here. I will tell my husband to provide a large building just for your whole family in this area." Tang Zhi asked them with a smile, although it felt more like she was expectant, especially when she was watching Shan Qingwu.

The middle-aged man waved his arms and shook his head in reply: "No, no, no! We cannot take advantage of your generosity any longer! That you have decided to take us under the protection of your family is a great honor for us, but we do not want to take advantage and bother you with this kind of thing!" He and the woman also waved their hands in sign.

That the Great Families of the Star City took them under their wings was the best thing that could have happened to them!

As a respectful but above all very humble family, they thought that this last offer was too much and therefore they did not want to take advantage of the goodwill that this amazing family gave them. It was more than enough with all the support and benefits they had given them.

Besides, this family had the God of Star City!

They didn't know if that magnificent young man who was the God would disagree or even be upset about it, so they didn't want to cause any big trouble.

Shan Qingwu was surprised and looked in amazement at these two women who were the ladies of their respective families but who looked a little younger compared to other women of the same age. She could not believe that these women wanted her family to move in with them, but she had a feeling that it might relate to her.

Tang Zhi and Zhang Ruoyan put on a few modest smiles without losing their touch of elegance when they saw their response. They probably knew more or less what they were thinking.

"For this kind of trivial thing, don't worry, we have no problem with you moving. Besides, if you want, you could choose to move in the area of my family's residence as well. My husband would still give you a great place just for your family." Zhang Ruoyan spoke with a smile, explaining that there was no problem with this.

"B-but... this..." The pair of adults hesitated at this.

Although the Shan family lived practically on the shores around the entire Star City, they still lived quietly. So they hesitated to accept or not until Tang Zhi told them something.

"For little Tian don't worry, he has no problem with all of you coming to live here and I am even sure he would be surprised and happy to see the beautiful woman who won the tournament living here too, hehe." Tang Zhi let out a chuckle as she watched Shan Qingwu, who blushed with nervousness and shyness as she remembered the handsome face of that man.

Zhang Ruoyan also nodded with complicity when her eyes also landed on the beautiful woman in front of them.

The adults were surprised by this.

They knew that this powerful God was called Ling Tian, so they were even more surprised to hear these two women call this God so affectionately!

But they quickly understood.

After all, these two women were the two mothers in law of that Deity!

"Thank you!"

The woman and the man bowed and even knelt before the two women, expressing words of thanks for all they were doing for them.

Even Shan Qingwu felt grateful for all that these two women were giving them, changing the course and future of her family.

Zhang Ruoyan and Tang Zhi made them stand up quickly and gently with their own Chi and said, "Don't worry about this, you don't have to do all this." They smiled warmly and with frankness.

The pair of adults continued to thank them for everything before saying goodbye and not wanting to be a bother to the two mothers.

"Little Qingwu, before you go, why don't you stay with us? We want to give you something, hehe." Before they left, Tang Zhi said to Shan Qingwu

Little Qingwu?

She felt a little strange at this way of addressing her.

Shan Qingwu's aunt and uncle nodded with a smile for her to stay while they went to look for the whole family when Tang Zhi told them that she would send people with them to bring their belongings and move out this day.

Shan Qingwu nodded and approached both mothers.

Zhang Ruoyan and Tang Zhi flashed bright smiles and obvious complicity before telling Shan Qingwu to accompany them to a room where dozens of beautiful and wonderful dresses and garments for women were stored.
