Tan Xing didn't like Jiang Ning at all! He had been scolded in the face, so surely there was no way he could admire the other party, right? Impossible!

Tan Xing's face was full of wrinkles, but his expression looked just like a playful child who was throwing a tantrum now.

Jiang Ning laughed and nodded. "It's better that way. I'm afraid that if you like me too much, then I'll feel bad for scolding you next time."

He then left.

Tan Xing watched Jiang Ning leave and opened his mouth but couldn't shout anything at him in time. He waved a hand angrily and shook his head several times.

"I'm glad you're not one of the Tan family disciples, otherwise you would have driven me to my grave by now!"

He walked two steps and scoffed. "When will the Tan family have a genius like him..." Tan Xing walked back to the ancestral hall and called for the ones in charge of the eight bloodlines. "Master Tan, do you want us to keep that fellow here?"

"We're all ready! He can't get away!"

"This Jiang Ning insulted the family, so I have to break at least one of his legs!"

All the Tan family members were angry and were determined to not let Jiang Ning run away. They wanted to teach Jiang Ning a good lesson and recover the reputation of the Tan family. "He's left," said Tan Xing calmly with his eyes half closed.

"He's left?"

All of them were so angry.

"None of you will be able to keep him here."

Tan Xing's calm words instantly made everyone in the ancestral hall quieten down. They thought they had heard him wrongly.

There were fifty or sixty of them from the eight bloodlines, including grandmaster level fighters. On top of that, Tan Xing was around too. So many of them couldn't defeat Jiang Ning? Then the Tan family would really be embarrassed!

"I have a few words that I must instruct all of you, especially the ones in charge of the eight bloodlines."

Tan Xing's expression instantly became solemn and all the grandmasters felt their hearts sink suddenly. There was something different about this situation and Tan Xing seemed to be here to say his last words "The Tan family has been living gloriously for nearly 200 years now, and we have always been the central pillar of the Northern High Kick Sect. But now, we have fallen," he admitted it directly. "As for why we have fallen, I'm sure all of you know better than I do."

After Tan Xing said this, many people had a slight change in expression and they looked a little ashamed of themselves.

"Whatever happened in the past, I do not wish to mention. Times have changed, so there's no point in blaming you now," Tan Xing sighed. "I'm just a Ititle upset. After I die, who will carry the name of the Tan family? Ten years later, a hundred years later, will anyone still know the Twelve Routines Springing Leg?"

He scanned the men in front of him and pointed at the grandmasters as he said clearly, "This is your responsibility!"

"For status, for profit, for fame or for this surname!"

Tan Xing's voice suddenly rose in volume. "As long as you feel that you have not done anything to embarrass the surname Tan, then I have nothing to say!

"Master Tan!" One of them fell to his knees with a thud and declared loudly, "I swear that the Tan family will not fall in our hands! I swear upon my life!"

"We all do!"

Many others also fell on their knees.

"We will use our lives as a guarantee! We will not allow the Tan family to fall!"

"Master Tan, believe us!"

Everyone fell on their knees. Nobody expected Tan Xing to say something like that. This was definitely his final instructions to them and they were all very agitated.

Tan Xing laughed and waved his hands.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't intend to die yet." He looked around and said, "I just hope that all of you will remember why you trained in martial arts in the first place and to remember the chivalry of the martial arts world! We are to protect the nation, to punish evil and to help the weak! I hope all of you will remember why our ancestors

set up the Twelve Routines Springing Leg!"

"Remember it for life!"

"Yes, Master Tan!" everyone shouted in unison.

Tan Xing nodded. He looked at their reaction and wasn't sure how many would listen to him and how many would really understand his heart.

But none of this was important anymore. Even if only one person understood, then there was hope for the Tan family's future.

"One more thing," he took a deep breath. "Never, never, ever go up against Jiang Ning."
