Inside the Haotian Sect

**Chapter 12 Inside the Haotian Sect**

The problem of not being able to practice within the Haotian Sect had always troubled Tang Yuehua.

When she first awakened her Martial Soul, she was at her current level.

In other words, she had an innate Soul Power level of 9, a true genius of her clan.

Along with her Martial Soul, she also awakened an innate Domain, further highlighting her excellence.

Initially, the entire Haotian Sect was thrilled by the news, including herself.

However, she soon discovered, to her horror, that she was unable to practice and improve her Soul Power at all.

This instantly knocked her down from the pedestal of being a long-anticipated genius to a cripple.

Her father, the leader of the Haotian Sect, and the Elders did their best to find someone who could help her, but none were able to resolve the issue of her inability to practice Soul Power.

As the years passed, she became increasingly desperate about her situation.

For this reason, she had always felt the strange gazes of the other disciples of the sect, and she eventually chose to run away from home, tired of these constant looks.

"How is that possible?"

"No matter how intelligent Gu Ziyi is, he is just a 12th-level Soul Master with low innate talent (innate Soul Power level). Even my uncle, your father, and many others couldn't solve your problem. How could Gu Ziyi supposedly solve it?"

After hearing Tang Yuehua's question, although Bai Lu knew that Gu Ziyi was smart, she categorically did not believe that he could solve Tang Yuehua's inability to practice.

Tang Yuehua's problem could not be solved by someone her age, Bai Lu firmly believed.

"...Yes, he himself is only at level 12 right now!"

Upon hearing her cousin Bai Lu's response, the slightly hopeful look in Tang Yuehua's eyes immediately dimmed, and she sighed in disappointment.

Seeing Tang Yuehua like this, Bai Lu felt a pang of sorrow.

However, she wasn't about to retract her judgment of Gu Ziyi just because of her cousin's expression. Otherwise, Tang Yuehua would be even more disappointed after asking Gu Ziyi with some expectation.

"Don't worry, cousin. My uncle and my father haven't given up on finding a solution over the years. Maybe there will be good news soon about your issue."

Bai Lu quickly comforted Tang Yuehua, mentioning that the family had not given up on her.

"Alright, don't worry about me, cousin. I'll be fine!"

When Tang Yuehua heard Bai Lu's comforting words, she quickly composed her expression and forced a smile to reassure her.

"…"

Bai Lu immediately noticed that Tang Yuehua was pretending, but she definitely wasn't going to point it out.

"I heard there's a restaurant with good food here in the city. Come on, cousin, I'll take you there to cheer you up with some delicious food!"

Bai Lu quickly changed the subject and dragged her cousin toward the restaurant.

…

At the same time as the conversation between the two cousins.

Haotian Sect.

"Brother-in-law, Lulu sent a message back!"

Bai He reported the news of Bai Lu's letter to the leader of the Haotian Sect.

Earlier, his daughter Bai Lu and his niece, Tang Yuehua, had run away from home, causing both parents great anxiety.

After receiving the message from his daughter, Bai He naturally immediately reported it to his brother-in-law, the current head of the Haotian Sect.

"Really?"

"What does the message say?"

"Forget it, let me see for myself..."

The leader of the Haotian Sect's face immediately lit up when he heard the news. When he saw that Bai He still had the letter in his hand, he quickly took it and read it himself.

Bai Lu honestly reported where they were going in her letter and hoped her father could persuade her uncle to let her cousin relax for a while.

As he read the letter, the excitement on the face of the Haotian Sect leader gradually calmed down.

"Bai He, what do you think of Bai Lu's message?"

After handing the letter back to Bai He, the Haotian Sect leader asked for his opinion on Bai Lu's message.

"Brother-in-law, I think it would be good for Yue'er to get away from the sect for a while."

"Now that we know where they are, we just need to send people to protect them in secret."

Faced with the Haotian Sect leader's question, Bai He clearly already had an answer and immediately shared his view.

He was also very aware of the strange looks that Tang Yuehua had been receiving over the years within the sect, due to her peculiar situation.

Even if the sect's disciples didn't mean any harm, they still hurt Tang Yuehua with their pitiful looks. Knowing her situation, it was inevitable for people to show pity when looking at her.

So, Bai He thought it would be good to let Tang Yuehua leave and relax for a while.

It was precisely because he pitied his sister's daughter that Bai He boldly expressed his opinion in front of the Haotian Sect leader.

Otherwise, even though the Haotian Sect leader was his brother-in-law, there was still a large gap between their public identities. The other was the leader of the Haotian Sect, while he was merely the patriarch of one of the sect's affiliated families.

"…Well, it would be good for Yue'er to leave the sect for a while."

After hearing Bai He's words, the Haotian Sect leader remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing with him.

"Bai He, do you think there is any way to solve Yue'er's cultivation issue?"

Soon after, the Haotian Sect leader couldn't help but mention the cultivation issue that had plagued Tang Yuehua for all these years.

"Brother-in-law, there must be a way to solve Yue'er's cultivation issue, definitely!"

Bai He responded confidently to the question.

"…I hope so."

The Haotian Sect leader sighed.

In truth, he had lost hope in finding a solution. Not to mention, the Martial Soul that Tang Yuehua awakened was not the Clear Sky Hammer (Haotian Hammer), so he had long shifted his extra focus to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was the hope of the Haotian Sect for the future.

**Bang—**

"Dad, Uncle!"

Just as the Haotian Sect leader finished sighing, the door was suddenly kicked open, and the young Tang Hao rushed into the hall.

"Uncle, is there any news about my little sister?"

After Tang Hao entered, he hurriedly asked Bai He.

"Dad, Uncle!"

"Is there any news about my little sister?"

At this moment, Tang Xiao followed closely behind Tang Hao.

"Yes, we've received news!"

Seeing how concerned the two brothers were about their little sister, Bai He smiled happily at the situation.

Soon, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao also learned the details of the message Bai Lu had sent.

"No, how can I let my little sister stay out there alone!"

"I'll go and bring my little sister back to the sect."

Tang Hao's reaction was one of disapproval of the plan.

"Hao'zi, this is our little sister's decision. We should respect and support her!"

"And our little sister has been very unhappy in the sect lately. There's nothing wrong with letting her enjoy life outside for a while and experience the mundane world!"

Tang Xiao, already 31 years old, was naturally not as clueless as Tang Hao about what their little sister was doing, so he immediately grabbed and stopped his impulsive brother from bringing Tang Yuehua back to the sect.

"Brother…"

Tang Hao, who deeply respected his older brother, calmed down after hearing his persuasion. Although he was reluctant, he finally agreed with his father's approach to Tang Yuehua's situation.

"Hao'er, you don't need to worry about Yue'er!"

"Your task now is to focus on cultivating!"

"In two years, the time will come to participate in the Soul Master Competition!"

After seeing Tang Xiao persuade Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect leader quickly reminded Tang Hao to concentrate on his cultivation so he could participate in the competition.

"I will not participate in this Soul Master Competition in two years!"

"I've just reached Soul Sect (level 41-50). It's impossible to reach Soul King in just two years. Even if I enter the next competition, it will be hard to win the championship with my power!"

"I, Tang Hao, will either stay low or make a big splash!"

"I will participate again in seven years. By then, I will definitely be able to lead our team from Haotian Academy to win the championship and take 1st place!"

After hearing his father's words, Tang Hao refused to participate in the upcoming Soul Master Competition and finally declared his goals with great determination.
