Chapter 1820: He Cannot Shoulder This Responsibility

"There are some books and Mind Methods for strengthening the body and spirit at home, so I handed them over to him, and he is indeed a genius at martial arts; without anyone to guide him, he has made rapid progress in just ten years."

When Tang Lao said this, his expression changed slightly: "Does Mr. Chen mean to let Tang Yi take on this heavy responsibility?"

"That's right. I have met Tang Yi; he is a good person and has good strength. If I provide a little guidance, his strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds," Chen Yu said. "When the time comes, if he takes on this role, he will certainly be able to keep these forces in check."

"This... I'm afraid that won't work." Tang Lao pondered for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"I know Tang Lao has concerns, so please just state your concerns," Chen Yu said. "In the current Chinese Community, I only know Tang Lao, and Tang Lao is a man of high virtue and prestige, so there will certainly be no problem with Tang Yi taking charge of Milan Street."

"First, Tang Yi is too young, and he does everything based on a burst of hot-blooded passion, so he might not be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"Secondly, the Tang Clan has always practiced Medicine and has never participated in the grievances of the pugilistic world; this position is truly unsuitable. And..."

"What you want to say is that the Prince has Kaza supporting him behind the scenes, and he is one of the Three Great Commanders of the Red Skull, possessing the strength to confront the local government, so you do not want to offend these people, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen. Our Tang Clan has always avoided disputes, and we are all scholars; doing these things is inappropriate."

"I can take Tang Yi as my disciple," Chen Yu said earnestly. "Then I will pass on cultivation methods to him, and I can also find An'er, one of the Three Great Commanders of the Red Skull, to support him, and I guarantee I will pave the way for him."

"Take him as a disciple?" A sharp glint flashed in Tang Lao's eyes, and he blurted out: "Is what Mr. Chen says true?"

"Of course it is true," Chen Yu laughed. "How could I joke with you about such a major matter?"

The expression on Tang Lao's face was solemn, but he no longer had that persistence from before; he was rapidly weighing the pros and cons of the matter.

Indeed, the Tang Clan was unwilling to wade into these muddy waters because he knew clearly that the Tang Clan did not have the ability to compete with those vicious and unscrupulous people.

However, the condition Chen Yu had thrown out was truly too tempting.

Who is Chen Yu? A Dharma Cultivator who cultivates the Heavenly Dao; he will absolutely be a powerhouse in the future.

The Tang Clan has inherited Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years; although it is comfortable, it has been standing still.

If Chen Yu could take his grandson as a disciple, then the Tang Clan would rise to another level of height.

"How about this, why don't I give you some time, Tang Lao, for you to think it over carefully?" Chen Yu smiled slightly as he saw his hesitant expression.

He knew that Tang Lao would not refuse this proposal of his; he wanted to take Tang Yi as a disciple, and what he could teach Tang Yi was not just some medical skills, but also the Immortal Cultivation.

This old man would absolutely not refuse, because for hundreds of years, the Tang Clan had been too comfortable, and he also wanted to break this comfort.

"No need to consider it, Grandfather, I want to take Mr. Chen as my master." Just at this moment, Tang Yi suddenly burst in.

"No manners! When adults are discussing matters, how can a child interrupt?" Tang Lao's brows locked slightly: "Get out."

"Grandfather..." Tang Yi was not very happy: "I am not a child anymore, and I have the right to choose my own life."

"Besides, the matter you are discussing has to do with me, so I should also be involved; there is no problem with that, right?"

"These matters are not things you can participate in; I naturally have my own decision on these matters, you don't need to come over, get out." Tang Lao's face sank: "You don't understand the rules."

Tang Yi was helpless and had to retreat, but before walking out the door, he said with some unwillingness: "The Tang Clan is an Aristocratic Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine with hundreds of years of heritage."

"The education I received from childhood was to do good and accumulate virtue, and to carry on the inheritance of the Tang Clan, but if Heaven truly had eyes, my father would not have been accidentally hacked to death during the turmoil on Milan Street."

"Shut up!" Tang Lao roared, his hands trembling slightly.

The tragic deaths of his son and daughter-in-law were still before his eyes.

Although more than ten years had passed, that scene still surfaced before his eyes from time to time.

It was also from that time on that Tang Yi, who had originally been devoted to studying Medicine, resolutely abandoned Medicine for martial arts.

Because he felt that if he could not protect his own family, what was the point of having learned the skills to heal the sick and save lives?

If one wants to achieve great righteousness, one must first take care of one's own small family.

"Am I not right, Grandfather?" Tang Yi stopped and gritted his teeth: "How my parents died, have you forgotten?"

"What great righteousness, what heritage, I don't care; I only care that our whole family can be safe. This world is not as calm as it looks on the surface at all; people are dying every day."

"Especially for us Chinese living overseas, the space for survival is even more difficult, so I have no objections to Mr. Chen's proposal; I want to take him as my master and change the future of our Tang Clan."

"Nonsense! The Tang Clan exists to practice Medicine, accumulate virtue, and win people over with virtue," Tang Lao said in a deep voice.

"Grandfather... as for practicing Medicine and accumulating virtue, you have me." A figure flashed, and Tang Qing also walked in.

"Why did you come in? This has nothing to do with you." Tang Lao was slightly stunned.

He cherished Tang Qing very much, and because she had been in poor health since she was a child, Tang Lao was very attentive to her.

So when Tang Qing came in, his anger was not as intense as it had been just a moment ago.

"Tang Yi is right; if you want to take care of the big family, you must first be able to take care of your own small family," Tang Qing said. "You also know that Mr. Chen is willing to take him as a disciple, which is an opportunity for him."

"If he possesses strength, the future of the Tang Clan will change. As for practicing Medicine and inheriting the Tang Clan's legacy, I am here, and he can wholeheartedly follow Mr. Chen."

"I have my own considerations," Tang Lao paused and said: "There are some things you don't understand."

"I understand," Tang Qing corrected his words: "I have always understood, and I also know clearly what the responsibility of our Tang Clan is."

"But Grandfather, this world is changing every day. The ways of our ancestors are actually no longer suitable for our current society, so why must you keep clinging to the ancestral legacy like this?"

Tang Lao was somewhat silent. Yes, although his grandson and granddaughter were young, their words were not without reason.

If the Tang Clan had someone with super-strong power, his son and daughter-in-law might not have died in that turmoil more than ten years ago.

The ancestral legacy and heritage were indeed not suitable for this current society; if he continued to act arbitrarily, perhaps... one day the Tang Clan would cease to exist.
