Tang Dahai struggled to get out of bed and walked towards the door. Coincidentally, he saw Tang Zheng and nervously asked: "Little Zheng, how did your talk go?"
Tang Dahai's heart was very complicated. He wanted Tang Zheng to follow the righteousness, but he was also afraid that he would abandon him.
Tang Zheng hurriedly supported him and said: "Grandfather, why are you getting out of bed? Go lie down."
"I'm fine now. Staying in the hospital is too wasteful and expensive. I want to go home." Tang Dahai said, but he looked at Tang Zheng with burning eyes. He was afraid that if he blinked, he would disappear from his eyes and he would never see him again.
Seeing that his grandfather was indeed fine, he did not want to stay in the hospital during the New Year. He nodded his head in agreement.
"Did you have a good talk?" The old man was still concerned about this issue.
"We casually talked for a bit. Let's go home first."
"You … You're not going with her?" Tang Dahai nervously asked.
Tang Zheng was startled. He saw the panic in the depths of his grandfather's eyes and said: "Why should I go with her?"
The old man let out a sigh of relief. His eyes revealed a gratified look. After all, the grandson that he brought up was a filial person. He would not abandon this lonely old man.
As if relieved of a burden, the sympathy in his heart overflowed. He advised: "She is your mother. You have to treat her better."
"Grandfather, don't worry about these things. I'll go pay first and then go home."
Lan Yu walked to the door and said: "The money has been paid."
Tang Zheng looked at her and did not say anything. He silently helped his grandfather out. At the door, Tang Dahai stopped and said: "You came all the way to Ordinary Balance. You don't have a place to stay. Come to our house."
Lan Yu's eyes flashed with excitement. If she could spend time with Tang Zheng, it would definitely be beneficial to improve their relationship.
But when she saw Tang Zheng frown, she immediately suppressed this idea. If she went to Tang Zheng's house, he would definitely be unhappy. This would be counterproductive.
Lan Yu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Old Master. Rest well today. I will personally pay you a visit tomorrow."
"That's fine too. Outsiders are guests. If there's anything you need, please let us know. We'll definitely do our best as hosts." Tang Dahai said enthusiastically.
Looking at the two of them walking into the elevator at the entrance of the corridor, Wu frowned and asked, "Master's wife, how was your discussion?"
"Although it wasn't very pleasant, this is also a beginning. I have the confidence to make him accept me as his mother again." Lan Yu's face was suffused with a motherly radiance as she said confidently.
Wu was a little dazed as he watched. He hesitated and asked, "Then should we tell Master about this?"
Lan Yu's face darkened, and said: "Absolutely not, if some people in the Martial Sect know of Little Zheng's existence, then they will definitely not hesitate to assassinate Little Zheng, Wu, you must remember this, do you understand?"
Wu's heart trembled as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mistress. I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
"You can't even tell your master. Yesterday, he contacted me and asked me where I went. I only said that I was going on a sightseeing tour to relieve my boredom. Don't let it slip out of your mouth, "Lan Yu warned.
"Is there a need to hide it from Master?" Wu was very conflicted. Ever since she was young, she had been taught to follow her master's orders and not hide anything from him.
But now, Master's wife wanted her to break the rules, which made him unable to accept it.
Lan Yu stared straight at Wu and said seriously: "Wu, let me tell you, this matter is of great importance. Other than the two of us, even your master must be hidden from us."
"Why? He's Tang Zheng's father?"
Lan Yu did not explain, but coldly snorted in her heart. She thought to herself, Xiao Zheng's disappearance all those years ago was related to him. Although she believed that her husband was a person who did not eat his own child, she still had a grudge in her heart.
After that incident, a huge crack appeared in the relationship between the husband and wife. They were separated on the surface and had already lived separately.
She took care of her own flowers and plants every day without any distractions. She did not care about what her husband was doing and would only occasionally say a few words.
This was because she had always blamed her husband for not taking good care of the child. She had even thought that her husband was involved in this dirty matter.
In order to smoothly inherit the position of Sect Master, he compromised with the old Sect Master and used his own child's life to protect the position of Sect Master.
But no matter what the situation was, it was not easy to completely dispel her doubts.
Seeing that his mistress did not reply, Wu was incomparably conflicted. In the end, he comforted himself that his mistress would not harm his master, so he was forced to agree.
Li Palace.
Li Xiaotian stared blankly at the information in his heart. He could not believe it and muttered to himself: "How could he not die? That cave is unfathomably deep, it's impossible for him to survive. "
"What is the background of that towering tree?" Why is it that every time Tang Zheng sets foot in a place, such mysterious and unfathomable things will happen? "
"Tang Zheng escaped from death, so it won't be easy to kill him again. Eh?"
Suddenly, she said curiously: "Strange, why did Wu also run to the Ordinary Balance, and even run towards Tang Zheng. What's strange is that he actually went with Sect Master's wife Lan Yu. It is said that Lan Yu has been in the Martial Sect for decades, never leaving the Martial Sect. This time, the sun must have risen from the west. She actually left the Martial Sect for Tang Zheng. What is she doing? "
Even though Li Xiaotian was meticulous and cunning, he still could not guess the reason.
"Disciple, what's making you so worried?" Suddenly, a slightly old voice sounded from behind her.
Li Xiaotian's entire body was startled, as if he had a spring, he immediately shot up from the chair, turned around to look at the person who came, and respectfully bowed: "Palace Master, you've come out of seclusion?"
"Yes, this time's seclusion was very fruitful. What made you so worried? This kind of situation is rare." An old woman walked in from outside the door.
She did not have a fierce aura, just like an old woman from the countryside. Her silver hair was coiled on top of her head, and she supported herself with a walking stick. She staggered over and sat on the chair.
This was the famous Palace Lord of the Li Palace. In a different environment, if others saw her, they would definitely not associate her with the Palace Lord of the Li Palace, because she was too ordinary. Ordinary to the point that she could be submerged in a crowd, unable to stir up a single bubble.
When the fearless Li Xiaotian faced this seemingly ordinary Li Palace Palace Master, he changed from his usual arrogance, and was as obedient as a little tabby cat.
"Reporting to Palace Master, this time I encountered a difficult problem. I originally thought that as a person, I would have no chance of surviving, but he miraculously survived." Li Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
"Oh, who has such great ability?"
"Tang Zheng."
"I remember you mentioning him before."
"Yes, he is a cultivator, and an extremely powerful one with great potential. Thus, I decided to eliminate him."
"Then it seems that you consider him a threat?"
"Yes, an enormous threat." Li Xiaotian nodded.
The Palace Master's old eyes slightly narrowed, and said: "For you to be so afraid, he is indeed not an ordinary person."
"Yes, even the Martial Organization's Sect Master's wife, Lan Yu, has gone to find him."
"Lan Yu?" The Palace Master's hand holding the walking stick tightened involuntarily. She raised the corner of her eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her dim eyes.
"Yes, this is the information I just received. It is said that Lan Yu, for the sake of Tang Zheng, went on a killing spree and caused a ruckus in the Dragon Group's base. At that time, if I had left a bit later, perhaps I would have met her." Li Xiaotian said.
"Lan Yu has not left the Martial Organization for dozens of years, but she actually made an exception for one person. Interesting. Pass down the order, we must investigate the ins and outs of this matter. Lan Yu, this woman, cannot be underestimated, and we must avoid alerting the enemy. I want to know what medicine she is selling in her gourd."
"Yes."
"In addition, I will be leaving for a few days. During this time, you will continue to take care of the daily affairs of the Li Palace in my place." The Palace Master warned.
Li Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "Palace Master, why are you leaving the palace this time? Can this disciple go with you?"
The Palace Master casually glanced at her, and Li Xiaotian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. It was as if ten thousand swords were hanging over her head, and could fall at any time and pierce her full of holes.
She was in fear and trepidation, and hurriedly said: "This disciple is concerned about the Palace Master, and has no other intentions."
"Hmph, just do your job well. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The Palace Master said coldly. Although she still seemed old and senile, and did not even have the slightest trace of a king's aura, Li Xiaotian felt fear from the bottom of her heart.
This was because she was too clear about the Palace Master's temperament and powerful strength. She could not even think of resisting.
"Yes, this disciple will remember."
The Palace Master stood up, supported herself with her walking stick, and hobbled out. Watching the Palace Master walk away, the chill on Li Xiaotian's body gradually dissipated. She straightened her body and returned to being the cold and black-bellied Holy Maiden of the Li Palace.
"Every year at this time, Master leaves the palace alone. No one knows what she's going to do? This secret truly makes one curious. I don't know when I'll learn of this secret. "Li Xiaotian softly muttered to herself.
The Palace Master left the Li Palace and walked on the mountain road. The rugged mountain road was like flat ground under her feet. With a casual tap of her walking stick, she traversed several meters, leaving behind only a shadow on the mountain road, and then floated down the mountain.
Three days later, she arrived at a mountain stream. A clear spring flowed down from the top of the mountain, forming a small lake.
The lake water was clear, like a dark green gem. It adorned the mountains and added a quiet and secluded feeling, causing one to be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.
On a rock beside the lake, a person sat quietly. He wore a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat on his back. He was like a statue, motionless. His hand held a fishing rod, and a thin fishing line sank into the lake. However, there were no fish floating on the surface of the lake. It was unknown how he determined whether or not a fish had taken the bait.
The Li Palace Master walked straight to the fisherman and stopped behind him. However, the fisherman remained motionless, as if he did not hear her footsteps. He stared intently at the lake.
