Fire Phoenix said this in front of Tang Zheng because she wanted to test the relationship between Tang Zheng and Lin Hu. She guessed that Lin Hu must have something important to say to her. It probably had something to do with his future plans. If this matter did not allow Tang Zheng to avoid suspicion, then it could explain a lot of problems.

Who would have thought that Tang Zheng would take the initiative to stand up and cup his hands and say: "Then you can continue talking, I'll go home first."
Fire Phoenix looked at him with astonishment: "Young master Tang won't stay for a while longer?"
"It's already late, I want to go home." Tang Zheng tactfully declined.
"Young master Tang, I'll send you off." Lin Hu stood up and walked out with Tang Zheng. At the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Hu suspiciously asked: "Young master Tang, you don't seem to want her to know about our relationship?"
Tang Zheng nodded: "I'm currently a student, so it's not good for me to have too much contact with her. Moreover, I've already said very clearly that you can handle matters in the underworld by yourself. Only when needed will I make a move."
"I understand. I see that Fire Phoenix is very sincere, so this cooperation should be quite pleasant." Lin Hu speculated.
"Then I'll work hard." Tang Zheng waved his hand and walked home.
Lin Hu looked at his back and thought for a while before turning around and returning to the private room: "Fire Phoenix, I won't beat around the bush. This time I've taken over Boss Fan's territory and will definitely attract Hoodlum's attention. You know that I'm not Hoodlum's opponent so I want to ask for your help."
"Oh, you want to ally with me to go against Hoodlum?" Fire Phoenix raised her almond shaped eyes with a smile that was not a smile.
"Yes!"
"Behind Hoodlum is Master Huang, aren't you afraid?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"Afraid, why wouldn't I be? What's the use of being afraid? Do you think Huang Si will just watch as I grow stronger and do nothing? Since he will deal with me sooner or later, I might as well prepare a countermeasure. "Lin Hu revealed a fierce expression as he resolutely said.
"You actually dare to call Grandpa Huang by his nickname? You've changed a lot recently, I almost couldn't recognize you." Fire Phoenix said with a hint of ridicule.
In the past, Lin Hu was content with his own territory and did not have much fighting spirit. Now that he dared to go against Huang Si, Fire Phoenix had a whole new level of respect for him.
"It's impossible for a person to remain unchanged. Otherwise, he would be eliminated by the times."
"You've even become a philosopher, saying such philosophical words."
Lin Hu ignored her teasing and continued, "I know that this matter is risky, but risk and opportunity coexist. As long as we take down Hoodlum, we can split his territory equally."
"Hehe, you make it sound so simple. Do you think Grandpa Huang is so easy to deal with? Where are you going to find an expert who can contend with him? "
This was one of the problems in the Ordinary Balance Underworld. Everyone wanted to be big and strong, but they could not avoid Huang Si. Although he had already retreated behind the scenes, as long as his benefits were harmed, he would definitely deal a heavy blow.
"You don't need to worry about this problem. Naturally, there will be someone who will step forward." Lin Hu was full of confidence. Since Tang Zheng dared to challenge the Huang Clan and even made Huang Ziyang suffer a loss, this showed that the power behind him was not to be underestimated.
Fire Phoenix's smile disappeared as she solemnly looked at Lin Hu as if she did not recognize him.
"Who will step forward?"
"This is a secret for now."
"Since it's a secret, then there's nothing to talk about. Don't worry, I won't tell Grandpa Huang, but your matter has nothing to do with me. When the time comes, just don't bite me." Fire Phoenix directly walked towards the door.
Lin Hu's expression slightly changed as he said, "Fire Phoenix, don't tell me you don't want to take revenge for your husband?"
Fire Phoenix suddenly stopped and turned around to stare at him. Her eyebrows were filled with killing intent, "Lin Hu, what do you mean?"
"I don't believe that you have never suspected your husband's death. At that time he was like the sun in the sky and could even threaten Huang Si. Could it be that his death was really that simple?" Lin Hu did not care about her anger as he spoke to himself.
Fire Phoenix's expression fluctuated but she did not say a word.
Lin Hu's heart moved as he knew that he had guessed correctly. She was definitely still suspicious of Huang Si but she did not have any evidence.
He decided to add fuel to the fire and said, "After your husband died, Huang Si quickly grew stronger which is why he is where he is today. That is why he is the one who benefited the most. This is something that anyone with eyes can see. If you want revenge, then this time we will topple Hoodlum and cut off one of Huang Si's hands. In the future we will get rid of Huang Si and truly take revenge for your husband."
"You want to convince me with this? That's too simple. Wait until you are willing to tell me your trump card then come find me. " Fire Phoenix slammed the door and left. Lin Hu's expression fluctuated as he did not think that he would not be able to convince her. It seems that she was even more cautious than he thought.
His trump card was Tang Zheng but Tang Zheng did not want to reveal his identity. This made him very helpless as he fell into a deadlock.
In the following two days, Tang Zheng continued to cultivate at home in order to avoid the monthly exam. His Qi had increased by quite a bit. What he needed the most now was to refine the Spirit Pill but there was still no news from Ye Xuanji.
However he was not worried because Ye Xuanji would definitely take the bait. As expected, Ye Tianlei personally drove the car to bring him to the Yeh family.
The way Ye Tianlei looked at Tang Zheng was different from before. It was as if he was lamenting that he had misjudged him before. Tang Zheng was far more powerful than he had imagined. It was also as if he was rejoicing that Tang Zheng had finally given him the conditions and prevented this matter from developing in the worst direction.
Of course, Ye Tianlei was also very clear that this matter was related to his wife and daughter. After all, this transaction also involved Ye Dingdang's benefits.
"Tang Zheng, thank you!" Suddenly, Ye Tianlei said in a serious tone.
Tang Zheng looked at him and said: "This is a transaction. It's very fair, there is no need to thank me."
Ye Tianlei shook his head: "I'm not talking about this. It's because you let Dingdang get rid of her shackles."
Of course it was the shackles of the marriage contract.
Ye Tianlei clearly remembered how angry Ye Xuanji was when he found out about Tang Zheng's conditions. He did not care about the three hundred year old ginseng, but because his family was involved and used this condition to threaten him.
He had always had absolute control over his family, but the Ordinary Balance Yeh family was not under his control for a long time and had already undergone subtle changes. He could no longer control this Yeh family.
But he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only swallow it.
"It's nothing. Moreover, this will make him very angry. I just don't want to see him happy." Tang Zheng said somewhat gloatingly.
Ye Tianlei shook his head and smiled bitterly. This kid had a worse temper than he did in the past. He did not dare to treat the old man like this.
"In fact, although the old man's methods were indeed inappropriate, it was also for the benefit of the Yeh family." Ye Tianlei explained. He did not want the conflict between the two sides to intensify.
Tang Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he should stop talking.
"For me, the happiness of my family is more important than the illusory benefits of the family. I only know that he did not fulfill his responsibility as a grandfather, and that alone is enough."
Ye Tianlei did not explain anymore. They were silent all the way to the Yeh family manor. Ye Xuanji and the King Of Medicine sat in the hall and whispered to each other. In front of them was a huge box. Ye Xuanji raised his head and glanced at Tang Zheng, then looked straight ahead. He did not look at him anymore, as if he did not want to see him.
Of course, he did not want to see Tang Zheng. Although he had achieved his goal in the Ordinary Balance trip, he almost died of anger. It left a strong impression on him.
Ye Dingdang walked down from the second floor. She smiled and winked at Tang Zheng: "You're here."
Today was the monthly break after the monthly exam, so she did not go to school.
Tang Zheng nodded. Before he could say anything, Ye Xuanji pushed the box in front of him and said: "Three-hundred-year-old ginseng."
Tang Zheng walked over and opened it. A ginseng that looked like a miniature version of a human was lying there quietly. Even its facial features had the appearance of a human.
"Is this three-hundred-year-old ginseng?" Tang Zheng asked Tian Chanzi. He could not tell, but Tian Chanzi could.
"Yes, this has already taken shape. In fact, it already has a bit of spirituality. If it cultivates for a few hundred years, it will be able to transform into a human."
"Could it be that ginseng can really become a spirit?" Tang Zheng was very surprised.
Tian Chanzi said with disdain: "Of course, many things in the world can become spirits. Ginseng contains the spirituality of the world, so it is easier for it to become a spirit. However, ginseng does not have much self-protection ability. After becoming a spirit, it is easy to be caught and used as a material for others to refine pills."
"That's quite pitiful." Tang Zheng sighed.
"What's so pitiful about it? Treasures of heaven and earth, this is their fate."
Tang Zheng closed the box and took out the bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Ye Xuanji's eyes were immediately attracted to the bottle. He firmly grasped it in his hand and let out a sigh of relief. He looked up at Tang Zheng and expressionlessly said: "Why don't you check this ginseng? What if it is not three-hundred-year-old?"
"I have already checked it. To be exact, it is three-hundred-and-ten-year." Tang Zheng lightly said.
Ye Xuanji revealed a suspicious expression. He only knew that this was indeed three-hundred-year-old ginseng, but he did not know how old it was.
This thing was not as easy to find as gold and silver. He spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to find it.
The King Of Medicine could not help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "Tang Zheng, how do you know this is three-hundred-and-ten-year ginseng?"
"I can tell." Tang Zheng was still as calm as ever. There was a kind of steadiness and calmness that was completely inconsistent with his youth.
The King Of Medicine smacked his lips and said: "In the past, my teacher also taught me a method to determine the age of ginseng, but it was not as accurate as yours. I could only tell that it was between three-hundred-and-fifty-year-old. I never thought that you would be able to determine its exact age with just a glance."
Tang Zheng curled his lips. This was what Tian Chanzi told me, so of course I can determine it.
"This method of identification must have been taught to you by your teacher, right?" The King Of Medicine somewhat enviously asked.
"Yes." Tang Zheng continued to push the responsibility to his nonexistent teacher.
"Can you say it for me to see? Don't worry, I will exchange it with other things."
"Tian Chanzi, how did you determine it?" Tang Zheng could not help but be curious.
"It is to sense the spirit of the ginseng. When your cultivation is high enough, you will naturally be able to do it. This old guy is not good." Tian Chanzi said.
"Senior King Of Medicine, this method is not suitable for you." Tang Zheng honestly said.
The King Of Medicine regretfully shook his head and did not speak.
