Tang Yating

A Tang Clan disciple, originally surnamed Xu. When Zhao Huo left, he changed his surname to Tang along with Tang Yuqing and Tang Kang, and took the as his master.

When Chao He pretended to chop firewood, he identified Chao He by his jutting chin, and ended up believing Chao He's lies. He is also a victim in the Ghost Hand incident, having seen a hand reach out from deep in the shadows and fly back again; later, since everyone had gone ghost-hunting and no one at home was left to be afraid, he went along too. During the brawl at the Training Ground, he thought was only talking big, and only when Tang Buyi showed up to smooth things over did he see Second Senior Brother truly angry.

When negotiations with the Tang Clan of Guangzhou break down, if Zhao Huo does not block it, he would be struck by a sneak attack from the Tang Clan of Guangzhou's hidden weapons from the Tang Clan of Guangzhou. When the Junior Martial Sister marries, Zhao Huo talks Ye Yunshang out of crashing 's martial contest for her hand, averting a crisis for the sect, and afterward he speaks to Zhao Huo quite politely, saying that only one who has suffered at Yunshang's hands knows that the bitterest toil under heaven is wrangling with Yunshang. On the Junior Martial Sister's bond route, he is one of those who beat Zhao Huo soundly for embezzling what he was entrusted with.

At the Wulin Assembly, he goes flower-viewing with his fellow Junior Sisters and the Jinxiang Palace disciples, though his mind is not on the flowers: "You admire the flowers; I admire faces as lovely as flowers."

At the Western Wulin, when Li Fugui and Fu Yun visit the Tang Clan, he comes running to Zhao Huo in a panic to report it. The visitors are few and very polite, and he is already beside himself, admitting that if they had been rude he would have been scared to death and could never have gone up the mountain to report. When Rui Sheng appears in the courtyard, he attacks rashly, and when the counterattack comes, Zhao Huo or the Eldest Senior Brother blocks it for him, and he faints from fright.
