The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

42 – Sugar and Tang (6)

At first, he just hoped he wouldn’t starve.

I was satisfied with that, and I didn’t care if I had to become a doll for it. If he starved to death, he would be nothing.

But when he met his mother, even if only for a moment, he felt the warmth of a human being. It was only natural.

People bond with each other by being with each other. Even if you thought you had no feelings for them. It happens.

And now, Tang Guo took up arms for the love he had received. The Poisonous Dragon King looked at Tang Guo and sighed deeply.

Despite his tone, he meant it when he said he regretted taking a cheap wench as his mother. Tang Hajin was a child with a promising future.

She never refused an order, and her greed to be strong was like fire, even burning her own body, and I liked that.

I had no doubt he would be a valuable addition to the family’s future. But that cheap woman ruined everything. Tang Feiyong soon spoke up.

“Well, I suppose this is okay.”

He was the one who fell for that cheap woman’s words, and he was the one who made that choice. This could have been an opportunity.

If he was going to get hurt here, that was it. If he was going to get hurt here, that was it.

Rather, it was a Tang Fei dragon that was grateful to Suo Jia for challenging it with all his might. Whether it was or not, Tang Guo immediately swung his sword.

“Have you mastered the art of the sword?”

“I don’t know, a swordsman must be versatile.”

“That’s right, let’s see the depth of it.”

“Don’t drown in it.”

A fierce exchange ensued. Dangwa’s sword, wielded with all his might, was easily parried.

The needle-like tip of the mnemonic was blocking the blade.

Tang Guo clucked his tongue at the sight, though he still swung with all his might.

He hadn’t expected it to be blocked so easily, but he hadn’t expected it to land a blow. The real fight was about to begin. The sword fell from Tang Guo’s hand. Swordsmanship was out of the question. The real battle was one of memorization. This is how the Sichuan Tang family will be recognized.

Clank. A sound like iron being sharpened resounded. Their memorizations collided in midair. The skill of the mnemonic throwing was a whistle to each other.

But this is only a prelude.

“What is it, you didn’t really mean to kill me?”

“Stop your useless search, you can’t make me waver.”

“It seems so, then let’s get down to business.”

“Cheat.”

It was Tang Feiyong who made the first move. He closed the distance in an instant, as if to say that it was a good idea. A thrusting attack, like an impulse.

His body was knocked back by a large amount. As expected, Tang Feiyong’s internal strength was much stronger. Realizing that it wasn’t going to work, Tang Guo stepped back.

Tang Feiyong used his momentum to continue pressuring Tang Guo. Narrowly avoiding the trick up his sleeve, Tang Guo soon bit his lip:

If he stalled, he would be the one to lose.

His opponent is one of the Heavenly Hao Emperors, and he is also the sole ruler of the Sichuan Tang Family. He has never thought that his reputation was an illusion.

‘I understand your intentions, but aren’t you in too much of a hurry?I did wonder, though. How could they be so open with their talks that even he could figure it out so easily? Is this really true?

Or is it just arrogance born of confidence? In any case, they were in a much bigger hurry than I thought. They must be trying to do something.

So, stop them before they do. That was why Tang Guo was in such a hurry. A leader must not be swayed by private emotions, he knew that.

“I see anger in your memorization. Did I not teach you that?”

“Colder than midwinter ice. That’s what you taught me.”

“And how do you move now?”

“That’s none of your business. Let’s go.”

“You’re not wrong, of course, I’m happy to win, but…….”

Tang Feiyong laughed and stretched out his hand. He clenched his fist as hard as he could. Tang Guo collapsed, bleeding to death. A great deal of pain was felt.

However, despite the tremendous anguish shaking within him. He is not even agitated. Rather, he feels anger. Tang Feiyong said.

“Isn’t that too disrespectful to Jia Zhu?”

“You……!!!”

“Do you recognize it?”

As if enjoying Tang Wulin’s anger. Tang Feiyong smiled and said.

“This is the poison that killed your mother.”

* * *

“Kolokolok.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

From then on, my mother suffered from a nagging illness. At first, she thought it was just a minor illness. The symptoms were mild, so I shrugged it off.

But as time went on, the symptoms got stronger and stronger. At first, I was able to go for a walk, but later I had to stay in bed.

She couldn’t even eat her favorite sweets, and she was always in bed. The fever never went down. Even the lawmakers could only shake their heads.

“Never mind. Everyone has their own time.”

“…….”

“Listen to me. Just as you have been doing.”

“Understood.”

For Tang Hajin, Tang Feiyong’s words were absolute. If she left his sight, she would be nothing. So he had no choice but to follow.

Mumbling an excuse to no one in particular, Tang Haijin turned his head away. He had chosen to look away. Yes, it was just bad luck.

I can’t do anything on my own, she convinced herself, again and again and again. I convinced myself. Maybe I hoped so.

Because there’s nothing I can do about it, nothing I can do but watch the person I thought was my mother die.

But that didn’t last long. She met a man who would not stand for injustice under any circumstances, who would do his own bidding.

He was certainly weaker than he was, but Tang Haijin felt overwhelmed by him, and so, unknowingly, he did what he was not commanded to do.

“What is your name?”

“…… Tianbi Liu.”

“Thank you, Tianbi Liu Dai Hao.”

“What are you talking about?”

From that day forward, he decided to walk his own path.

Even if it meant going against the will of his patriarch, even if it meant being cast out. At least, he would not regret this choice. Realizing this, Tang Haijin began to stay by his mother’s side. It wasn’t easy, of course,

not to mention the pressure from the patriarch, Tang Feiyong. Most of the vassals shunned the two of them, afraid of being seen by Tang Feiyong. But they didn’t give up.

“Stop coming to me now.”

“Have I caused you any inconvenience?”

“That’s not what I meant. Do you really not know?”

“I know. But I don’t care.”

“You’re a fool, I thought you were smart.”

“That’s what family is for, isn’t it?”

“Do as you please.”

By day, he trained in the martial arts or killed people at his lord’s command. At night, he nursed his mother to health.

But contrary to his hopes, his mother’s condition only worsened with each passing day. Little by little, she began to lose her memory.

At first it was just flickering, then she couldn’t remember anything at all, and finally she couldn’t even speak properly.

“Mother, I’m home.”

“……Dangwa.”

“…….”

“It’s Dangwa…….”

His mother’s voice was shaking as she lay in bed, tears streaming from her eyes. He read the guilt in her tears.

Guilt that she had forgotten the son who had helped her this far, even though he was probably not her real blood. So, Tang Haijin opened his mouth.

“Yes, that’s right. Soja Tang is coming.”

“Yes, that’s right.Naturally, there was backlash, not only from his small circle of followers, but even Jia Zhu was concerned about it. After all, he was the Sichuan Tang family’s Xiao Jiajue.

But his name is Tang Guo. The world would laugh at him, but he didn’t care. He doesn’t care what the world thinks of him.

“How can a mother not remember her child’s name?”

“But……!!”

“That’s enough. Say no more.”

Therefore, from that day forward, he was called Tang Guo.
