Tang martial arts were not passed on to outsiders and one had to enter the Tang family doors to learn. The problem was - how? Xia Lei felt like he had been duped somehow. An adopted son was still not a true member of the Tang sect. 

There seemed to be just one path to take if he wanted to be a true member of the Tang, and that was to court Tang Yu-Yan, become the son-in-law of the Tang sect and have a chubby child with her or something. That was the way to get the true Tang techniques. 

However, Tang Yun-Hai did not explain his words and Xia Lei didn’t feel comfortable asking him about it either. 

The Tang sect was much more powerful than the Gu clan. The Gu clan was at most considered nouveau riche but the Tang sect was an ancient clan with hundreds of years of history. Entering a clan like this was like a great chance to upgrade oneself for many men, and they would agree without hesitation. What’s more, the bride in question was an exceptional woman; Tang Yu-Yan. However, Xia Lei had no such inclination. The Tang sect was rich, true, but he was rich too!
