The next day.
On the field of the Tang Sect campus.
"Zhang Chulan, are you satisfied now?"
Zhang Wang looked at Tang Miaoxing, who was standing beside him, and shook his head. He took two or three steps forward and said to Zhang Chulan and the others,
"You said that you wanted to represent the company and confirm that these two were still alive before you were willing to leave … Have you confirmed it now?"
"If you've confirmed it, then hurry up and leave. This has nothing to do with you!"
Zhang Chulan looked at the two old men opposite him and the Tang Sect disciples behind them. He looked a little troubled.
"But …"
"No buts!" Zhang Wang immediately interrupted, "You didn't let us kill anyone, but we didn't. Not only did we not kill them, but we also cured them of the poison. You saw that they were alive and kicking. The Tang Sect has given you enough face, right?"
"You said that the company wants these two people … Okay, then let the company send someone else to talk to you. We don't want to talk to you here. Leave the Tang Sect now!"
"…" Zhang Chulan.
At this moment.
"Junior Brother, why are you so strict with a child …"
Tang Miaoxing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up to smooth things over. Then, under everyone's gaze, he took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Chulan and said,
"But my junior brother is right, Zhang Chulan … You should leave the Tang Sect. As long as you leave here, this matter can be considered settled."
"…" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but slowly frown when she heard the word "end". She clearly didn't want to leave the Tang Sect right now, but she couldn't find any reason for them to stay and continue the investigation.
Tang Miaoxing stood in front of Zhang Chulan. The old man's tall and straight figure also blocked Zhang Chulan so that Zhang Chulan could not see his expression at all.
Then, seeing the hesitation on Zhang Chulan's face, the old man continued to speak.
"Zhang Chulan, your grandfather does have some history with the Tang Sect, but this has nothing to do with you. I personally have no ill intentions towards a child like you."
"But …"
"You said that you're representing the company, so I'm naturally representing the Tang Sect. In the future, if the company and the Tang Sect come into contact with each other, I hope that the final result … can be a win-win situation."
At this point,
The elderly man made his way over to Zhang Chulan and patted her shoulder. He then turned to Zhang Wang and the other Tang Sect disciples and spread open his arms in a seemingly instructive manner.
"Today, I'm taking this opportunity not only to Zhang Chulan, but also to the disciples of the Tang Sect. As a senior, I would like to give you some advice …"
"Everyone, if you want to conduct yourself well in the future, you must be brave, wise, trustworthy, and righteous. But I think the most important quality is' tenacity '!"
"After all, those who can't take the blow won't be able to accomplish anything in the end. You can't give up easily just because of a momentary setback!"
"That's the only way you can …"
Before Tang Miaoxing finished speaking, she heard a "plop" sound behind her. She turned around and found that Zhang Chulan had already fallen to the ground.
"…"
"Zhang Chulan!" When Zhang Lingyu saw this, he quickly ran over from behind. While squatting on the ground, he wanted to help Zhang Chulan up. At the same time, he raised his head to look at Tang Miaoxing with worry and confusion.
"Principal Tang!"
"… What's wrong?" When Tang Miaoxing saw the expression on Zhang Lingyu's face, his expression became serious.
At this moment, other than Feng Bao Bao, who was still calm, the Lu siblings also rushed behind Zhang Lingyu. They looked at Tang Miaoxing with extremely puzzled expressions, as if they could not figure out what was going on.
Zhang Lingyu was not so evil. He did not know why Zhang Chulan suddenly fell, but when he thought about where he and the others were at, and the fact that only Tang Miaoxing had come into contact with Zhang Chulan just now, he naturally thought that Tang Miaoxing had plotted against Zhang Chulan.
"You …"
However,
"No … It's not Principal Tang … It's just that my old injury is acting up …"
Zhang Chulan slowly got up from the ground with the help of Zhang Lingyu. He looked at the two elders with difficulty and said,
"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of the two elders. It's just an old injury … Let me lie down for a while."
"… Okay, then hurry up and send him back to his room," Tang Miaoxing said after a moment of silence.
"Senior Brother!" Zhang Wang could not help but remind him when he saw this.
Hearing this,
Tang Miaoxing shook his head and interrupted Zhang Wang's reminder. Then, he looked at the Tang Sect disciples behind him and said,
"Alright, remember what I said just now. Go and do what you need to do …"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Although the Tang Sect disciples were somewhat puzzled, they still obediently returned to the school dormitory in the end.
Then,
Tang Miaoxing watched as Zhang Chulan was helped back to the school dormitory. Then, he silently walked to another teaching building alone.
Seeing this,
Zhang Chulan stood where he was. He first looked at Zhang Chulan and the others, then looked at his senior brother. In the end, he could not help but grit his teeth and chase after Tang Miaoxing with a face full of annoyance.
..
A moment later,
In the corridor inside the teaching building,
"Senior Brother! What do you mean! Can't you see that that little bastard is pretending?! "Zhang Wang followed behind Tang Miaoxing and loudly vented the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"How can I not see it?" Tang Miaoxing said calmly without turning his head,
"So what if Zhang Chulan is pretending? It's nothing more than a 'delay' …"
"What did you mean by what you said earlier?!" Zhang Wang looked at Tang Miaoxing's back with a puzzled expression.
Hearing this,
Tang Miaoxing stopped in his tracks and turned to face Zhang Wang, saying, "Years of peace …"
"This matter can indeed be considered a good thing for the young people of our Tang Sect. It is also a very good exercise. Since this matter is about to come to an end, let me summarize … Is there a problem?"
"Senior Brother!" Zhang Wang's expression became even more irritable when he heard this. "Do you think I'm a fool? What exactly do you want?! "
They grew up together in the Tang Sect. They cultivated and played together in the Tang Sect. It did not sound too much to say that the two old men were 'childhood sweethearts'.
Therefore..,
Zhang Wang actually knew Tang Miaoxing very well. Naturally, he could see that the other party had been acting strangely since yesterday.
He did not think that the Tang Miaoxing of the past would say those words that seemed to be guiding the Tang Sect disciples when there were outsiders present at the same time.
Therefore, even if he could not guess what Tang Miaoxing wanted to do, he would still suspect what the other party's purpose was and why he had been acting strangely since yesterday.
In addition, considering the current situation of the Tang Sect and Tang Miaoxing's status as the sect leader, he was also very afraid that the other party would be like Yang Lie. He was clearly thinking about the future of the Tang Sect, but in the end, he did something that would harm the Tang Sect.
"Oh? What do I want? "
Tang Miaoxing looked at the exasperated Zhang Wang with a smile and asked the same question as yesterday.
"Junior brother, do you think that I will harm the Tang Sect?"
"What nonsense are you talking about again!" When Zhang Wang heard this again, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tang Miaoxing's collar. He said with an indignant expression,
"I already said it yesterday! I'm afraid that you'll be blinded by the current situation! I'm worried that you'll be too obsessed with the word 'Tang'! "
"Don't forget! There are many situations where good intentions do bad things! Think about Yang Lie! "
"…" Tang Miaoxing let Zhang Wang grab his collar. Just like how Zhang Wang understood him, he also understood Zhang Wang very well. He understood that the other party did not have any ill intentions.
At this moment..,
"Aiya! Why are you guys arguing again! "
Tang Qiushan hurriedly ran over from the other end of the corridor. He was not too surprised when he saw Zhang Wang and Tang Miaoxing arguing again. He just quickly told them the reason why he was here.
"Both of you, come with me! Those children who were infected with the three corpses are causing trouble again! "
Hearing this..,
Zhang Wang immediately let go of Tang Miaoxing's collar.
Seeing this..,
"Let's go! All of you, follow me! The children are important! "Tang Qiushan walked over and hurriedly urged.
"I won't go. I'm a little tired," Tang Miaoxing said as he tidied his collar with his hand.
"Okay, okay, okay. You rest first. I'll go with Old Zhang!" Tang Qiushan put his hand on Zhang Wang's shoulder as if he was trying to persuade him. He planned to separate the two old brothers first.
"Humph!" Although Zhang Wang was unwilling, he still let Tang Qiushan push him away.
However..,
Tang Miaoxing saw the dissatisfaction on Zhang Wang's face and took the initiative to say with a smile, "Old Zhang …"
"Do you accept me as the patriarch?"
"…" Zhang Wang turned around to look at Tang Miaoxing. He lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment.
"I convinced you. Do you believe me?"
"…" Tang Qiushan.
Zhang Wang reached out to shake off Tang Qiushan's hands on his shoulders and said,
"Other than having a good temper, you can't compare to Yang Lie in any way. However, after Senior Brother Yang's death, from all aspects, there's no one more suitable than you to be the patriarch."
"I can't …"
At this point, he even reached out to point at Tang Qiushan beside him and said,
"Don't even mention Qiushan!"
"Hey! The two of you are quarreling! Why is it my business again? "Tang Qiushan was instantly unhappy.
He was pointing at your nose and saying that you couldn't do it!
Even if he really couldn't do it, he hoped that others would leave him some face. Zhang Wang's words were completely an unexpected disaster for Tang Qiushan, who knew himself well!
He was trying to persuade them out of goodwill, but he was scolded again!
Was there still any justice in this world?!
"Humph humph …" Tang Miaoxing smiled contentedly and said,
"Thank you … Old Zhang."
"Don't thank me! I'm just telling the truth! "Zhang Wang shook his head and said,
"Moreover, for so many years, what you did to the inner sect was wrong. I will never change my opinion."
"Well, that's why I'm thanking you. Because no matter when, you will tell me your true thoughts quite frankly," Tang Miaoxing said nonchalantly.
After saying that, he looked at Tang Qiushan, who was beside Zhang Wang, and said,
"Qiushan, what I'm going to say next, you have to testify for me …"
"Ah? Oh! "Tang Qiushan nodded out of habit.
Seeing this..,
Tang Miaoxing looked at Zhang Wang again and said, "Old Zhang, I want you to promise me one thing. As long as you promise … After the whole thing is over, you don't have to listen to me, Tang Miaoxing. You can do whatever you want in the future!"
"Moreover, even if you want to call all the inner sect disciples back, it's up to you … as long as they are willing to listen to you!"
"… promise you one thing?" Zhang Wang was puzzled. "What is it?"
"It's not the time yet, so I can't tell you yet." Tang Miaoxing shook his head and said, "But I want you to promise me now …"
"Are you kidding me? You won't say it now? "Zhang Wang stared and said," Then in the future, if you ask me to die, I have to agree! "
"Hey … Yes!" Tang Miaoxing looked straight into Zhang Wang's eyes and pretended to smile gloomily. "If I really ask you to die, you have to agree to it. Do you dare?"
"…" Zhang Wang looked at Tang Miaoxing with a frown. After a few seconds of silence, he agreed as if he was angry.
"Okay! I promise you! "
On the other side..,
Tang Qiushan saw that his two old brothers were still angry with each other, so he immediately tried to persuade them.
"Aiya! What's this! Senior Brother, if you want Old Zhang to do something … you have to tell him what it is! "
"Old Zhang! Don't take it seriously! Don't you know what kind of person Senior Brother is? How could he let you die! "
"Humph!" Tang Miaoxing.
"Humph!" Zhang Wang.
"Sigh …" Tang Qiushan could not help but sigh.
"Alright, that's all I want to say. Hurry up and take care of those children." Tang Miaoxing smiled at his two old brothers again, then turned and walked to the other side of the corridor.
At this time, looking at Tang Miaoxing's tall and strong back, Zhang Wang and Tang Qiushan both felt that something was wrong, but in the end, they could not figure out what was wrong …
…
At the same time..
In a room in the Tang Sect's school building..
"Aiyo … Cough cough … I can't take it anymore …" Zhang Chulan was lying on the bed with a dying look on his face.
"…" Feng Bao Bao.
"…" Lu Linglong.
"…" Lu Lin.
"That's enough! Zhang Chulan! Don't play dumb if you don't have anything to say! "Zhang Lingyu looked at Zhang Chulan with dissatisfaction and said regretfully.
"At that time, I actually thought that you were tricked by Sect Leader Tang with hidden weapons and poisonous palms …"
"Hidden weapons …" Zhang Chulan instantly returned to normal. Lying on the bed, he looked at Zhang Lingyu and said,
"Uncle-Master, do you read scriptures all day on the mountain or those online novels? The old sect leader really only 'slapped' me a little …"
"Cut the crap!" Zhang Lingyu curled his lips and said.
"What's the situation now?" Lu Linglong was not surprised by Zhang Chulan's sudden change in expression.
She asked curiously, "The old sect leader seemed a little strange just now …"
Hearing that,
Zhang Chulan lay on the bed and pondered for a moment. Then, he put his hands behind his head and said,
"This time, it's really a little difficult …"
"What do you mean?" Lu Lin asked curiously.
"The information is not equal." Zhang Chulan looked at the ceiling above and slowly said, "There's a secret in the Tang Sect.
Of course, there's no need to talk about the people of the Tang Sect. Even if the juniors don't know, the old sect leader and the other two … must know what this secret is. "
"Those guys from Quan Xing also seem to know this secret, and they might have come directly for this secret …"
"The old sect leader might not have known why those people from Quan Xing came at the beginning, but not long ago, seeing him lock up Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng together, he most likely already knew Quan Xing's purpose during the interrogation."
"What's interesting is …"
"This old sect leader doesn't seem to mind us participating. In fact, he seems to be happy to see us causing trouble together. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to let us stay here even though he knows that I'm just playing dumb …"
After that …
Zhang Chulan slowly sat up from the bed and looked at the other four people present.
"Why did Quan Xing come? Why did he take such a huge risk to personally come to the Tang Sect?"
"Actually, if you think about how they attacked Mount Longhu without any regard for their own lives, you can roughly guess the reason behind it. It's nothing more than something related to the Rebellion of the Jia Shen and the Eight Mystical Skills."
"However …"
Zhang Chulan thought about the fact that Mei Jinfeng had also come to the Tang Sect and couldn't help but slowly frown.
"If it's a secret related to the Rebellion of the Jia Shen and the Eight Strange Skills, a normal person's reaction to yesterday's incident should be the same as that of Lord Zhang. No matter what, they should continue to hide this secret because only then can they ensure that there won't be too much trouble in the sect."
"The old sect leader's attitude, and the arrival of that granny …"
At this point, he seemed to have thought of the possibility of the Tang Sect, so he immediately raised his head to look at Lu Lin and said,
"Brother Lu, I can't move now because of my 'old injury'. Please help me run around and find Tang Wenlong to help me contact the old sect leader. Tell him that no matter what, I want to meet the old sect leader alone before I go down the mountain …"
"You must guard this Tang Wenlong and personally watch him convey this' message 'to the old sect leader!"
"Okay!" Lu Lin immediately nodded and agreed. Then, she immediately turned around and walked out of the room.
After Lu Lin left …
Lu Linglong looked at Zhang Chulan in confusion. "What are you doing? The old sect leader has already made things clear. He shouldn't be seeing you for a period of time, right?"
"… If he sees you, that's for the best. If he doesn't …" Zhang Chulan shook his head helplessly and said,
"Let's prepare to fight the Tang Sect as soon as possible. This time, we've really been treated as a chess piece, and we can't get rid of this identity at all. Unless we leave the Tang Sect with our tails between our legs …"
"Huh???"
