Among the three elders of the Du clan, the one who has done the most research on martial arts is Du Wei, the second elder. So, he managed to deduce the key to solving the Du’s infertility from just a few words from Tang Luo, even being self-satisfied enough to question him about it.

However, he seems to have forgotten: if anyone could solve it simply using words, why would Tang Luo demand allegiance from the Du family? That would be very foolish of him.

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Tang Luo, expressionless, gave a token round of applause and praised, “Elder Du Wei hit the nail on the head. To solve the Du’s infertility, looking for the predestined land devourer is an option. It seems that the Du family intends to solve the problem themselves. My congratulations to you all.

Indeed, the predestined land devourer could solve the fertility problem of the Du family, on the condition that you can seize this devourer from the other sects. Rather than offering them a solution, Tang Luo cut off their expectations, it’s ridiculous how Du Wei remained smug.

For an ordinary person, being diagnosed with a serious illness that can be cured but costs tens of millions of dollars is almost as hopeless as having a terminal illness.

Looking at Tang Luo’s expression, if Du Wei hasn’t understood the issue by now, he’s wasted all these years of his life.

His rationality woke up and reminded him of an important fact. Even if Du’s family knew that the predestined land devourer could solve the Du’s infertility issue, there was absolutely no chance of obtaining it.

It was as if the light source had been suddenly cut off, and darkness fell. Du Wei’s face was dull, and he said dully, “Tang Luo, you’re joking. Such a divine artifact like the predestined land devourer has long been monopolized by the sacred lands and major sects. How dare Du’s have such wild thoughts?” Seeing Du Wei’s ecstasy turn into this defeat, the other two elders from the Du’s couldn’t help but understand the difficulty, their spirits suddenly plummeted and their eyes were complex when they looked at the emotionless Tang Luo.

Honestly, Tang Luo had a strong dislike for the Du family. They had all the drawbacks typical of a small clan.

Short-sightedness, selfishness, stubbornness, impatience for quick success and fear of authority. The three elders were like this, which made it easy to imagine what the others in the Du family were like. He couldn’t understand how a righteous man like Du Sha was born into this environment. If it weren’t for the fact that Red Cloud Mountain was a battleground, and if it weren’t for these three being in charge of the Du family, he would have let them destroy themselves. It was so frustrating.

Because of his annoyance, Tang Luo didn’t even bother to be polite. He said bluntly, “I’m giving you an hour to consider. If you agree, I’ll help you solve the Du family’s infertility. If you don’t, then I wish you luck in seizing the devourer. Have a safe journey.”

The Du’s elders exchanged gloomy glances, seemingly unable to make up their minds quickly. It was the Great Elder, Du Ting, who eventually said, “Please give the Du family some more time to think.”

“Just one hour.” Tang Luo stood firm, his tone frosty. “I don’t have time to waste with you. If you think that’s not enough time, you had best retire to the back room and discuss it now. I have other things to discuss with Mr. Du Sha. I hope to receive your answer in an hour s time.

This is clearly the Du family’s council chamber, but Tang Luo was asking the three elders, who made the decisions in the Du family, to leave. The three elders of the Du family looked at each other and had no choice but to stand up and head towards the back room. As they passed Du Sha, each of them eyed this former clan leader with a curious gaze.

They couldn’t understand why Tang Luo treated them so sternly, yet treated

Du Sha with such decorum.

Great Elder Du Ting quickly sent a secret message to Du Sha: “Tang Luo respects you quite a bit; see if you can ask him what his plan to solve the Du family’s problem is.”

Du Sha remained as still as a stone statue, looking at Du Ting but giving no response.

Knowing how stubborn Du Sha could be, Du Ting sent another secret message: “This matter concerns the life and death of Du family. Think of Zi Teng and don’t be so stubborn!”

The three elders filed into the back room, leaving only Tang Luo and Du Sha seated in the council chamber.

The atmosphere relaxed, less confrontational than before.

Tang Luo smiled and said, “Mr. Du Sha, you’ve worked hard these past months!”

“You are overly kind,” replied Du Sha. “If it weren’t for your advance warning about the flood, the citizens wouldn’t have been able to avoid it. But I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of everyone you entrusted to me. I feel like I’ve let you down.”

The citizens are barely clothed and fed.

The digging project he promised was becoming difficult because of the Xiao family’s invasion and his resignation as clan leader. Du Sha felt he hadn t accomplished anything, running around to various clan households and not finding anyone who could offer him a decent price. The highest offer he received was for 10 million catties of grain, only enough to feed the citizens of Red Cloud Mountain for ten days. Famine was looming and there was nothing he could do. Tang Luo’s praise made him only feel guilt.

One grain feeding a hundred people; some people will never be satisfied, while others will give their all and still feel inadequate. This made Tang Luo sigh, “If Elder Du Ting had half the virtue of Mr. Du Sha, this negotiation wouldn’t be so draining.”

Du Sha was startled, unsure of how to respond.

Tang Luo tapped his right ear and shrugged, “I heard the secret message earlier.”

Why don’t clans of sacred land and major families use this clandestine method? Because this technique is just vibrating sound concealed within spiritual power and transmitting it to a specific person. To those with sharp senses, the sound concealed within spiritual power is just as clear as a whisper in the ear. Tang Luo, whose hearing was enhanced by ten divine runes on his lower back, clearly heard these two secret messages.

Even a calm person like Du Sha felt slightly embarrassed when his little trick was exposed. He apologized, “I’m sorry for being a laughingstock. The great elder only used this last resort because he had no choice. He doesn’t mean any harm.”

“Enough, enough.” Tang Luo waved his hands and said, “I don’t mind at all. You don’t need to explain on behalf of Elder Du Ting. I came to talk to you about an important matter!”

Kind people see the world as mostly kind; debating whether there are more good people or bad people in the world with a kind person is pointless. ‘Only used this method as a last resort?’ More like ‘got used to using this method’. Tang Luo had his own judgement of Du Ting’s character, so there’s no need for discussion.

What he wanted to discuss with Du Sha was a matter crucial to the future.

“Mr. Du is now traveling around, asking for offers from different families, all because the citizens of Red Cloud Mountain are starving. If I can solve the food problem, would Mr.. Du be willing to work with me for a hundred years?’
