Chu Shaofeng couldn't wait to return to the Chu Family and find his father, Chu Mingxuan. After Chu Mingxuan heard his son's report, he muttered to himself, "You want the old man to personally take action?"
"Yes, if the old man makes a move, he will definitely succeed. That brat Tang Zheng will definitely die." Chu Shaofeng vowed.
Chu Mingxuan was silent, his expression serious, and only after a long while did he say in a deep voice: "Your plan is not impossible, if Tang Zheng dies, it would be to solve a huge problem for the Martial Sect. Taking advantage of this opportunity to form a relationship with the Martial Sect, it would be beneficial to the Martial Sect, but the key is the master behind Tang Zheng."
Mentioning this person, both father and son fell into silence. Their impression of Tian Chanzi was simply too deep.
Back then, on Yan Potian's eightieth birthday, not only did the Chu Family lose Chu Shaohui, a young talent, they had also lost all face. It was the shame of their entire lives.
"Although that person is powerful, the Martial Sect will not let him go after all, so he shouldn't be able to jump around for more than a few days. Without that person's protection, what kind of waves can Tang Zheng jump around?" Chu Shaofeng said disapprovingly.
Chu Mingxuan looked deeply at his son and said with relief: "Shaofeng, you have really grown up. You can see the problem more comprehensively and deeply, and you also know how to share the burden of this family. Your suggestion is not bad. Before the old man sleeps, we will immediately go find him. “
Chu Shaofeng was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded. The father and son arrived in front of a small house and stopped in their tracks. They respectfully shouted, "Father, I brought Shaofeng to see you."
"What's the matter?" An old voice sounded.
"We have something to report to you."
"Didn't I tell you before that you should try to make a decision about the Yeh family and not disturb my cultivation?" The old voice said.
Chu Mingxuan lowered his head and said, "Father, I am unable to make a decision on this matter. I must report it to you."
The other party pondered for a moment, then said, "Come in."
Creak!
An iron door opened on its own without any wind, revealing a dark room. There was not a single ray of light in the room, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Chu Shaofeng shivered. He had been very afraid of his grandfather since he was young, and when the old man got older, his temperament became very strange. He did not like the sun and locked himself in this small iron house all day long. It was said that he was cultivating, and it was very difficult for others to see him.
If it wasn't for something important, the iron door would never be opened.
Chu Mingxuan and Chu Shaofeng fell into the darkness. The iron door closed with a bang, scaring Chu Shaofeng so much that his entire body trembled.
It was pitch-black, and he couldn't see anything. However, the Old Master's voice rang out. "Shaofeng, you're a man of the Chu family. How can you be so useless? Just now, you were so scared that your whole body was trembling."
Facing this question, Chu Shaofeng's legs went soft, and he had the urge to kneel on the ground. He said with fear and trepidation, "Grandfather's lesson is very right, I will definitely try my best to correct it."
"What is it? Just say it," the old man said.
Chu Mingxuan had already thought of an excuse long ago. He explained it concisely, and the small metal house instantly fell into silence. There was not the slightest sound. Even the breathing of the three people could not be heard. It was as if they were holding their breaths.
"You want me to deal with Tang Zheng and rope in the Martial Sect?" After a long while, the old man asked.
"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Chu family. Now that the honeymoon period between the Chu family and the Yan family is over, we must find a new backer, and the Martial Sect is even stronger than the Yan family." Chu Mingxuan analyzed with conviction.
"The Martial Sect has always been arrogant. Will they care about what you do?" The old man asked.
"Yes, the matter with Tang Zheng is not an exception. I heard that many strange things have happened in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Yunnan, and there are even new cultivators that have appeared. Although the Martial Sect is strong, their strength in the secular world is not that strong, and we can make up for this weakness of the Martial Sect." Chu Mingxuan said.
"Could it be that the other families are all fools? Giving such a good thing to our Chu family? "The old man asked.
Chu Mingxuan was confident, and said: "I have already confirmed it, the Yeh family has already announced to the outside world that the Yeh family and the Tang Zheng will no longer have anything to do with each other from now on, and will go their separate ways."
"Oh, that old man Ye Xuanji actually broke through his cultivation when he was about to die, and now he is so decisive in pushing Tang Zheng out of the Yeh family. It's really strange." The old man said in surprise.
"Actually, there's nothing strange about this." Chu Shaofeng had adapted to the darkness, and the pressure he felt had weakened a lot. He changed the topic and said: "The Yeh family is a group of people who fish for fame, they did not openly go against the Tang Zheng because they were afraid of being poked at behind their backs, saying that they are as cowardly as mice."
"Hmph, but didn't the Yeh family also end up in a situation where they forget about righteousness for the sake of profit? That old man Ye Xuanji actually rejected his own grandson-in-law, what a decisive move. "The old man sneered in ridicule.
"I think they were afraid of being implicated by the Martial Sect, so they made plans early on." Chu Mingxuan added.
"The Martial Sect is indeed not something that an ordinary family would dare to go against. In that case, Tang Zheng can be considered a small fish that escaped the net. If we catch this fish, then everything will be fine? "The old man asked.
"Although it won't be fine, it is indeed a way to get close to the Martial Sect. It is worth a try." Chu Mingxuan said cautiously.
The old man muttered to himself, and only after a while did he agree: "We can kill him, but he is just a small character, and you need me to take action. Hmph, are you all idiots?"
Although it was dark, Chu Mingxuan and Chu Shaofeng still felt a burning pain on their cheeks. Chu Mingxuan explained: "I am not afraid of Tang Zheng, but I am worried that his mysterious master will appear. So, just in case, I asked father to take action."
The darkness fell into silence, as if the old man was thinking. After a long while, he said, "Alright, I promise you, unless his mysterious master appears, I will not make a move. Don't disappoint me."
The father and son pair were overjoyed and hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement. Then, they quickly left the small iron house. Chu Shaofeng's back was cold, and he was actually drenched in cold sweat.
"Immediately track that brat's whereabouts, and then wait for an opportunity to move." Chu Mingxuan ordered.
"Yes sir!" Chu Shaofeng could not hide his joy as he accepted the order and left.
In the middle of the night, Tang Zheng waited for Liu Qingmei and Nanna to fall asleep before leaving with Xiao Bai. In the darkness of the night, a figure quickly flashed through the streets and alleys, flying towards the Imperial City.
After a while, he arrived at the foot of the Imperial City. Just as Tang Zheng was about to flip over and enter, his heart suddenly trembled. He turned his head to look not far away, and in a flash, he pounced over.
"Whiz!"
A stone was thrown out of his hand. It was like a bullet streaking across the night sky, emitting a sharp sound as it pierced through the air.
Puff!
The stone hit the ground and shattered into pieces, and the floor that was hit quickly cracked open, covered in cracks.
This attack had clearly missed, but the person hiding in the shadows had also appeared.
"Who is it? Why are you following me sneakily?" Tang Zheng's killing intent was exposed as he asked coldly.
The one who walked out from the darkness was actually Martial.
She stared at Tang Zheng with burning eyes, then looked at the towering Imperial City. She frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"
Tang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you following me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Hmph, you deliberately avoided me. What else can I do if I don't use this method to get close to you?" Martial asked angrily.
Tang Zheng was speechless. Ever since he returned to the capital, he had sent Martial away, and then seemed to have forgotten about her existence. He never thought that she would be so persistent, actually following him in the middle of the night.
"You've been following me all night?" Tang Zheng was shocked. Since she was able to follow him to this place, then she must have discovered Liu Qingmei's residence. Liu Qingmei was a cultivator, could it be that she was also exposed?
Martial's eyes revealed a trace of ridicule as he said, "You really like to play the trick of hiding a beauty in a golden house. That's your high school teacher right?"
Tang Zheng said without changing his expression, "This is none of your business."
"Of course I don't care about these messy things." Martial said.
Tang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Although Liu Qingmei was a cultivator, to martial artists, cultivators were just like ordinary people. If they did not take the initiative to expose themselves, they would not be able to tell.
In other words, Martial had not discovered Liu Qingmei's identity as a cultivator.
"What's the point of following me like this? Could it be that you really want to stay by my side? "Tang Zheng asked curiously.
"I came here today to tell you two things."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Didn't you tell me to ask Li Xiaotian about the movements of the Rockefeller family? They haven't made any movements recently. In addition, Louis's whereabouts have not appeared. I reckon he should have returned to his own country. "
This was not much different from what Tang Zheng had expected. As long as Louis did not do anything else, he would not have the time to pay attention to him.
"In addition, you have to accompany me to the Martial Sect."
"What?" Tang Zheng was shocked, "You want me to go to the Martial Sect? Then wouldn't I be walking right into a trap? I'm not that stupid. "
Martial said disdainfully, "If I really wanted to kill you, why would I save you?"
"…" Tang Zheng was speechless.
However, he still wouldn't go to the Martial Sect. Although Martial had already pointed out that the Martial Sect's Sect Master might be his biological father, he didn't want to be entangled with the other party.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Martial continued, "Sect Master has already returned to the Martial Sect, but Sect Master is injured. However, Sect Master wants me to pass on a message to you, it is very likely that Hundred Transformations Star Lord has also left the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains. Hundred Transformations Star Lord's temperament is changeable, and his strength is so strong.
"Didn't your Martial Sect boast about hunting cultivators as your responsibility? Then go and get rid of the Hundred Transformations Star Lord. "Tang Zheng said in ridicule.
Martial's face was slightly embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and said, "No one in the Martial Sect is a match for the Hundred Transformations Star Lord."
"Oh, so you guys are trying to bully the weak. You're not a match for the Hundred Transformations Star Lord, so you came to bully me, right?"
"Nonsense, who bullied you?" Letting you go to the Martial Sect is for your own good. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. "Martial said angrily.
The corner of Tang Zheng's mouth raised slightly, and said: "For my own good? I don't think so. In short, I'm not interested in going to the Martial Sect. Don't waste your saliva trying to persuade me. "
"Hmph, I'll wait until you go."
"How long can you wait?"
"Until you go."
Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Then go ahead, but, there's no need to follow me, please go back."
