Tang Yuan told Wang Fuxi about how Tang Xiao became a cultivator, including the incident that nearly killed him. However, she did not disclose the existence of the ark and other related matters, as these were her nephew's secrets. "Those families started everything by killing both of Xiao'er's parents, and their children also committed many atrocities against him and my niece. Their daughters framed him for violating them by force, which resulted in him spending seven years in prison. Their sons tried to violate my niece, and she was forced to jump off that building to save herself. In the end, she had to lie in a coma for seven years in the hospital."
"I know all that." Wang Fuxi replied with a light nod. "However, Tang Xiao is already a cultivator now, and he shouldn't kill those mortals."
"Big sis, you—"
"You don't need to interfere, Yao." Tang Yuan stopped Feng Yao and spoke to Wang Fuxi. "Please answer my question, Big Sis. What would you do if they killed your father in front of your eyes? What would you do if they violated your mother by force in front of your eyes? What would you do if they framed you for doing something you didn't do? What would you do if they did something to your big sister that made her commit suicide?"
Wang Fuxi stared at Tang Yuan without being able to answer all her questions, especially since she had never been in such a situation in her life.
"See? You can't answer all my questions." Tang Yuan asked in an annoyed tone. "I wanted to kill them with my own hands, but I didn't do it because I obeyed the rules you've set all this time. However, Xiao'er was different from me, and he had to go through his misfortune since he was five years old. For your information, those people sent their subordinates into the prison specifically to kill him when he was almost free from prison, which almost made him die in that ravine. Fortunately, he had good fortune because someone saved him from death, and that person taught him to become a cultivator. You were lucky because you were born in the Wang Clan, and no one dared to go against you. If you were born as an ordinary woman, what would you do if you were in his position and experienced all that?"
Wang Fuxi remained silent and looked at Tang Yuan, thinking deeply about her words. "Who was the person who saved Tang Xiao from the ravine?"
"I don't know the identity of that person." Tang Yuan replied by shaking her head. "In fact, Xiao'er doesn't know the identity of his savior, especially since that person already died by exchanging his life for him. I know that it's inappropriate for cultivators like us to kill mortals, but he never killed other people. He only killed everyone related to his parents' deaths, framed him in prison for seven years, and tried to violate his big sister by force."
Feng Yao finally spoke. "I hope you can understand Tang Xiao's situation, Big Sis. He has killed many people, but all of them were related to the deaths of his parents and the destruction of his family, and he never killed other people who had nothing to do with any of that. You've never been in his shoes, so you can't understand his feelings. If they killed your father and violated your mother by force before your very eyes, I'm sure you would feel the same way. Of all those families, only two families remain now, but one of them is under Long Yin's protection, especially since their ancestor saved his life when he almost died from breaking through."
"Which family?" Wang Fuxi had heard of it, but she didn't know for sure which family had saved Long Yin.
"The Ouyang Family."
Wang Fuxi nodded in understanding. "Where is Tang Xiao now?"
"I don't know exactly where Xiao'er is now." Wang Fuxi narrowed her eyes at Tang Yuan. "I didn't lie to you, Big Sis. Since he returned, I haven't seen him much, and he's unwilling to reveal his plans to me. He chose to act secretly, and I only know that those families have fallen because of him. Currently, only the Ouyang and Shen families remain among those that have fallen."
Wang Fuxi pondered to think. "Since Tang Xiao couldn't attack the Ouyang Family because of the presence of Long Yin behind them, he must be targeting the Shen Family, right?"
"Yes." Tang Yuan did not hide it from Wang Fuxi. "I don't know when he will act against the Shen Family, but he will probably act against that family soon."
Feng Yao spoke to Wang Fuxi. "Big Sis, you shouldn't stop Tang Xiao from taking revenge on that family, and you should let him do it."
"Hmm?" Wang Fuxi frowned at Feng Yao.
"I understand your desire to protect those mortals, but they killed his parents, Big Sis." Wang Fuxi didn't say anything to interrupt Feng Yao. "You are indeed the second strongest cultivator after Long Yin, but Tang Xiao is no ordinary cultivator, and you will never be able to capture him. If you try to stop him now, he will view you as his enemy, and he will fight you when he becomes as strong as you."
Wang Fuxi didn't doubt Feng Yao's words in the slightest, especially since she had no clear information about Tang Xiao. Moreover, she was not an arrogant woman, and she had always believed there was a sky above the sky, so she believed in the existence of other cultivators who could surpass her. "Has he ever been to Earth II?"
"Yes." Feng Yao nodded to her. "Tang Xiao has been to the Earth II and trained in the Ming Clan's battle arena, and he was able to win several battles in a row."
"Oh?" Wang Fuxi was a little surprised to hear that. "Who brought Tang Xiao to Earth II? Was it Tang Huang or Tantai Lingyan?"
"Neither." Wang Fuxi turned to Tang Yuan. "My father and Big Sis Lingyan were taking care of other more important matters, so they didn't accompany Xiao'er to Earth II, and he went there alone."
"What do you mean by more important matters?"
Tang Yuan looked at Feng Yao, who nodded to her. She immediately explained to Wang Fuxi the incident that occurred at the Mu House some time ago, particularly focusing on Xie Ao's appearance.
Wang Fuxi's expression became serious, and she frowned deeply. "I didn't expect the heretic clan to be so bold, and they attacked the outside world while I was in seclusion."
"They attacked Old Mu during his birthday celebration, but he was lucky because my grandfather and Big Sis Lingyan came at the right time, and they both stopped Xie Ao." Tang Yuan shared additional information with her. "Besides the Jiang Clan, there's another clan that's siding with the Xie Clan, and you wouldn't believe it if you heard it."
"Who?"
"The Xiao Clan." Wang Fuxi looked shocked after Tang Yuan mentioned the clan. "Currently, my father, Big Sis Lingyan, and Mu Qingge are on their way to the Sun Clan, especially since Xiao Luo is targeting that clan and Uncle Sun."
Wang Fuxi nodded in understanding. "Uncle Sun has helped Xiao Luo and the Xiao Clan a lot, but they're actually conspiring with the heretic clan to destroy him. Unfortunately, he can't do anything to them right now, especially since the Xie Clan is so mysterious and powerful."
"Is the Xie Clan really that strong, Big Sis?" Feng Yao and Tang Yuan asked.
"Yes." Wang Fuxi nodded at them. "Even Long Yin and I don't dare to deal with the Xie Clan because we don't know the depth of that clan's strength, and they still have an ancestor who is just as powerful as us."
"Is there anything we can do to stop the Xie Clan, big Sis?" Feng Yao asked.
"I don't know." Wang Fuxi sighed softly as she shook her head. "Alright, you two can go back now, and I'll think of something to resolve the matter. For now, I need to find Tang Xiao, and I'll talk to him about his actions in killing those mortals."
Tang Yuan wanted to talk to Wang Fuxi about Tang Xiao, but Feng Yao hurriedly stopped her and took her away from the place directly.
Wang Fuxi spread her senses throughout the city to search for Tang Xiao, but she was unable to find him because he was wearing a disguise to work at Ouyang House. Since she already knew his next target was the Shen family, she decided to go to the family's house and wait for him there.

Tang Xiao, who was cultivating, immediately opened his eyes and listened to the incoming message from Tang Yuan. "Wang Fuxi is back, huh? Has she decided to stop me from killing the Shen family?"
[What are you going to do now, Master? Wang Fuxi is a powerful cultivator, and you are clearly no match for her right now. If she intends to stop you from killing the Shen Family, you will be in big trouble.]
"Do you think Wang Fuxi can stop me from escaping into the ark, Xiao Ai?"
[Master, no one will be able to stop you from entering the ark, including Wang Fuxi. However, she can stop you from killing the Shen Family, and you won't be able to do anything against her with your current strength.]
