Tang Luo's family was unlike many noble families across the continent, perhaps due to their origins.
His mother, Xu Shuhui, was born into the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou. Even as a disadvantaged young lady, she could see through the machinations of clan interests and she knew that wasn't the life she aspired to.
His father, Tang Sen, was even more of an outsider, as the illegitimate child of the family's main branch. Orphaned at a young age, he was left to fend for himself and his younger sister. His rise to the position of the First Head of the Martial Hall was entirely due to his once-in-a-billion talent and his keen aspiration towards martial arts.
As a pure martial artist, Tang Sen had little desire for power. Even the position of First Head of the Martial Hall paled in comparison to the importance of his wife. His initial actions in sweeping the Battle Hall were just to provide his wife with a better life.
