Tang Fang
She followed in her own older sister's footsteps and took her master's oath with the Tang Clan, yet her seniority is a generation below her sister's.
was treating a female patient, and to avoid any appearance of impropriety he deliberately trained Tang Fang in the needle arts. Tang Fang thus became the most skilled in Medicine among the Tang Clan's female disciples.
But she is the queen of tardiness, late out of sheer habit, and the sort who does not even feel sorry about it.
Medicine
- Assigned by Second Senior Brother to administer acupuncture to Ye Yunshang.[1]
- Her Medicine is considerable; across the vast Central Plains, finding a doctor better than her is no easy thing.[2]
- When Ye Yunshang was poisoned by the Other Shore Immortal Fragrance, she willingly hurt and depleted herself, performing the forbidden Beiming Needle to take the affliction onto herself, and only just managed to keep the girl alive. Yet Duan Zhixiu questioned her, and she flew into a rage on the spot.
- She blames herself deeply for failing to cure the poisoned Ye Yunshang in time, and even considered risking the forbidden Nirvana Samadhi, but sharply forbade it.
Second Senior Brother
- All of Tang Fang's skills were taught to her personally by ; though they are nominally fellow disciples, in truth it is more like master and pupil. She respects Second Senior Brother greatly.
- and once secretly harbored feelings for her sister, but is still quite strict with Tang Fang.[1:1][3]
- Because Second Senior Brother is so fierce, she wanders abroad and does not return, just to avoid him.
- Her one-eye-covering hairstyle is copied from ; she thinks it looks cool.[3:1]
- When she came upon the defected and , she did not try to stop them but wanted to go with them. sealed her Pulse Gate with a Bone-Piercing Nail and destroyed her martial arts, and from then on her temperament grew far more indifferent.
Tardiness
- She and Xin Ru are together known as the Tang Clan's queens of scatterbrainedness. One sleeps badly, the other is always late.
- Scold her for being late and she will put on an apologetic smile, barely hiding her impatience: "Alright, alright, how about I treat you to a drink next time."[4] She really will treat you, but not very willingly.[5]
- She believes she has only been down the mountain traveling for a month or two, when in fact more than two years have passed.
- When she went to the Qingcheng Sect to make her case, she was late because she stopped to treat someone, and the three Qingcheng Elders came to look for her in person. Instead they saw the side of Tang Fang beloved by the country folk, and agreed to her case.
Notes
- Bird Bear FB, information made public 2024/10/5: Link
- To Zhao Huo, she is a Senior Sister.[6]
- When her older sister joined the Tang Clan, she was taken in by the previous generation, so to Tang Fang she is a Martial Aunt.[1:2]
- Usually busy and often late, she rarely crosses paths with Zhao Huo, so she is a route-limited character.[1:3]
- Rather indifferent to love, the type who, once she reaches a certain age, will let her parents nod and casually marry herself off.[7]
- She frankly admits she finds Shentu Long quite nice.
- Her buttocks are slightly larger than average.[8]
- From the dialogue and narration of the Eight Immortals Finger, it can be learned that her sister is named Tang Fen.
