Chapter 101: Gathering Together

The next few days, Yingying pestered Zhang San every day to take her to tour B City. She did not stay in the Xuanyuan residence to watch the bustle. However, with Zhang San accompanying her, Tang Wei felt quite relieved for both of them.

After the message transmission, the members of the other major families arrived one after another, except for the two from the Ouyang family who had been staying here without returning. The first to arrive was the Chen family, one of the four major families. This time, the main ones who came from the Chen family were the great elder and the clan leader. No one knows the purpose, but they also brought Chen Yi along with them.

After greeting the Xuanyuan clan leader, Chen Yi came over and stuck to Tang Wei's side under the pretext of friendship, trying every way to talk to her more. At the moment Tang Wei first saw him, her mood inexplicably turned irritable. If she could not speak, she would directly put on a stern face toward him. But that person had no self-awareness, thinking that Tang Wei's bad mood was because of him, and to cheer her up, Chen Yi followed beside Tang Wei, desperately telling her those very unfunny jokes, which made Tang Wei want to die. The people nearby were almost frozen to death by the cold jokes and all walked away to escape! Tang Wei wanted to escape too, but since they came as a group with her, she could not break away.

Xuanyuan's expression turned uglier and uglier as Chen Yi kept talking nonstop with his cold jokes. Luckily, at the critical moment, Yun Qian came to the rescue, pulling Tang Wei out of there. Otherwise, it was hard to say when Xuanyuan would start punching people. And Tang Wei was moved by Yun Qian's action and teared up, saying that she had not been pampered in vain all this time.

The next one to rush over was the holy land that produced beautiful women, the Hundred Flowers Valley on Yunmeng Mountain. Along with them came the great elder Hua Piaopiao and the sect leader Hua Jinxin, as well as Hua Jinxin's four beloved disciples: Hua Dieying, Hua Diewu, Hua Die Lian, and Hua Die Xin. Great elder Hua Piaopiao looked no more than forty years old, but she had at least two hundred and eighty years according to what Yun Qian said. Tang Wei pouted and sighed that the Hundred Flowers Valley's techniques for maintaining appearance were truly extraordinary! Even the sect leader Hua Jinxin who was in her forties looked like a girl of sixteen or seventeen, let alone her four beloved disciples, who were even more like orchids in a secluded valley and immortal beauties. In front of them, the so-called number one beauty of the aristocratic family, Ouyang Qianru, was nothing.

The people from the Hundred Flowers Valley did not dress as casually as the four major families. They all had uniform attire, only differing in colors. The styles could both reflect their unique and elegant beauty, elegant and otherworldly, like immortal maidens who do not eat worldly dust, and when going outside, it would not be inappropriate to look at. It is truly adapted for both ancient and modern times.

This time, it was Tang Wei's turn to be jealous. Because with Xuanyuan's appearance, among men, he was already rare in the world. Usually, even men would be unable to help but stare at him for a second, let alone here where five great beauties arrived all at once. The sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Valley was better off. After all, being a sect leader means being alone. Looking at a handsome man with appreciation is fine, but not to stare blankly at him. But her four disciples were at the age of young girls in spring, with budding feelings. How could they resist Xuanyuan's temptation to them?

Tang Wei looked at the four great beauties opposite her like starving ghosts seeing food, almost drooling. Looking at their graceful figures, then looking down at her own plain figure, then at their incredibly beautiful faces, and thinking about her own face that could only be called pretty, Tang Wei was struck so hard she could not get over it. She turned and walked away, comforting herself in her heart, "Forget it, I cannot compare, I cannot hide, right? In the future, I will just stay away from you, okay?"

Following behind the Hundred Flowers Valley came the Shenxiao Sect, with one great elder and the sect master of the Shenxiao Sect. They did not attract much attention, their people were not particularly outstanding, but that Zhongshan suit made people's mouths twitch, and paired with the sect master's eight-character mustache, it was a bit too stereotypical.

The next was the Kunlun Sect on Kunlun Mountain, at first glance it made people feel like being electrocuted. You think you are watching a TV show, yet dressed so immortally and dao-like, white clothes surpassing snow, sleeves fluttering. After the first look, Tang Wei did not want to look again. Such people are probably old relics, she should keep distance from them to avoid offending them later.

The Kongtong Sect's image was even more contrary to these people. Others tried to maintain ancient clothing image, but they instead wore Western suits and trousers in solid color. No most eye-catching, only even more eye-catching. Tang Wei looked terrified. Are you cultivation sects or underworld gangs? How can you look so unappealing? White clothes fluttering is better. After passing, Tang Wei decided in her heart, "In the future, I will stay away from them too. These people must have brain issues, do not catch it."

Finally, the Shi family arrived late. The Shi family did not have anyone remarkable, so Shi Tian had to let Shi Jinnan temporarily take over the position of clan leader to make up the numbers. This time, Shi Tian and Shi Jinnan came along, as well as the two siblings Shi Xiaohu and Shi Xiaolin. Tang Jun, who was in their branch, heard Tang Wei and Xuanyuan waiting in the Xuanyuan residence, pestering to come over, so he and Li Changfeng also came to watch the show. The Shi family members were all acquaintances, so no need to introduce, except Shi Tian's image as an old farmer had not changed at all.

As soon as they heard the Shi family, the other families did not know the situation. Seeing the highest cultivation among the arrivals was the so-called Shi family clan leader, only at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, they inevitably looked down on them. Only when the Xuanyuan clan leader introduced that the Shi family was now subordinate to the Tang family did they reluctantly go along with the pleasantries.

Hearing that Tang Jun behind was Tang Wei's younger brother, and his cultivation was at the Jiedan period, this made him even more amiable and approachable. They all went to his side to introduce themselves. They still did not know who they were, just thinking, "I cannot associate with the Golden Core period cultivators, but this is just a Jiedan period cultivator, I should really pull him close, and I can even connect with the Tang family." Tang Jun could not stand such enthusiasm, and the two siblings from the Shi family were Tang Wei's disciples. After leading the fire there, he quickly escaped.

After meeting the Xuanyuan clan leader, the Shi family members and Tang Jun and others were led by the Xuanyuan clan leader to Tang Wei's residence. Everyone enthusiastically shared what had happened in the past period. It was lively and noisy, and soon, people came from that side to open a meeting to discuss the treasure hunt.

The Shi family, because their cultivation could not keep up with the others, were afraid of losing in the negotiation, so Tang Wei sent Tang Jun as representative to uphold the Shi family's facade.

It might be because the treasure had not been taken out yet, so the people from several families gathered together had no big disputes, just requesting to take out the treasure as soon as possible. The various families' tokens were all in charge of the great elders. Regarding the number of people to retrieve the treasure, each family could send two out. Everyone had tacit understanding to choose great elders and clan leaders to accompany.

As for whether Tang Wei should let the security department participate in this activity, everyone unanimously voted against it. It was left by the ancestors, they thought, do not even think about it, all against it. With so many opposing, what choice does he have? Sorry, you should still obediently be your chief, you no longer have the chance to participate in this matter.

Xuanyuan thought that this treasure retrieval trip was related to the future development of all families, probably there would be conflicts during the retrieval, so to not damage harmony, Xuanyuan decided to take Tang Wei along. Of course, the most important thing was to go and see the show, to see what those so-called materials were.

Tang Jun originally firmly said he wanted to go together, but he could not resist Tang Wei's coercion and carrot, and could only reluctantly stay in the Xuanyuan residence to take care of Yingying. This decision made Yun Qian the happiest, because she could not go, and having someone to be as unlucky as her, of course she was happy. And because of this, Tang Jun and her were at odds from then on.

To not damage the ancestors' reputation, the Ouyang Ancestor did not tell the other families about the map in his hands, only briefly mentioned that the ancestors left clues. After collecting the maps from the four major sects, according to the combined map, it could clearly be seen that the treasure was located in the section of the Himalayas within China. According to the hints beside, this place was clearly near the top of the snowy mountain, probably climbing up would be difficult. However, with everyone's enthusiasm for the treasure, it was probably impossible to stop their determination to seek the treasure even if it was more difficult.

Walk if you want, everyone brought their things, no need to pack, and as soon as they decided, they started acting immediately. Taking planes and then special cars, then walking, then climbing. After much difficulty, they finally arrived at the snowy mountain area, but looking up, everything was a vast white world, where could one distinguish east, south, west, north? Let the professionals handle it, we will just look at the scenery from behind.

The elders holding the maps were studying the specific address, Tang Wei did not want to bother with these trivial matters, pulling Xuanyuan to climb to a peak top, looking around at the snowy mountains, seeing the heights soaring on both sides, one side steep and jagged peaks, stunning mountain valleys and glaciers, terrain deeply cut by erosion, deep rivers and gorges, complex geological structures, the peaks high piercing the clouds covered with snow all year round, appearing and disappearing. The peak top was always snowy, blown by the strong wind, fluttering like the goddess's veil, giving a sense of beauty, solemnity, and sanctity. Tang Wei could not help but sigh at the wonder of nature, closed her eyes to feel it, and her mood instantly became exceptionally calm.

Tang Wei was immersed in it, when Xuanyuan woke her. It turned out they had already found the location and were about to go check it out. Since she wanted to come along, it was hard to say much, so Tang Wei could only obediently follow behind. Until they reached the recognized place, searched everywhere, but found the wrong place.

The elders again huddled together and started grinding, identified a place, then started advancing there. After searching back and forth four or five times, they still had not found the exact address, Tang Wei started to get impatient, simply sat down without caring, took an apple from the space to eat, bite one, damn, frozen to death, eating fruit in this place is really suffering. She tossed it casually, started looking for other food in the space.
