Returnee in Jianghu - C32
“Miss Hong Ying, I saw a map in the library. The center of the Four Divisions Bureau is divided into four levels: the first level is the fourth level, the second level is the Azure Dragon Division, the third level is the reunion of the two levels, and the fourth level is the Black Tortoise Division.” Tang Ming drew four simple lines on the ground: “But what’s strange is that both the Azure Dragon Division and the White Tiger Division have the formation core marked out. Only the Black Turtle Division has no formation core marked out. They don’t even have the mechanism core marked out.”
“No traps?” “Is it because it hasn’t been properly designed yet?”
“This, I do not know.” Tang Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know anything.
Red Cherry wasn’t surprised by Tang Ming’s confusion at all.
For a top sect like the Cloud Sky Sect that stood tall in the martial arts world, the truth was especially terrifying. At the same time, in order to let the sect survive, many of the things that every generation of the Cloud Sky Sect’s leaders did could not be made public.
Although Tang Ming was at the edge of Heavenly Cloud Sect’s core, if he did not wield power, then it was impossible for Tang Ming to know all the dirty secrets of Cloud Sky Sect.
This was preparation, and also … Protection.
Furthermore, everyone thought that the one in charge of the Cloud Sky Sect was Gu Han, but Hong Ying suspected that the one in charge of the Cloud Sky Sect was the seemingly incompetent Chu Junran.
Hong Ying still remembered the time when her mother died, Chu Junran had protected her with his wings.
At that time, Hong Ying didn’t know how to describe Chu Junran. She only realized later that he was a young man who was free to do whatever he wanted.
Hong Ying suddenly hesitated.
“Miss Red Cherry, Miss Red Cherry?” Tang Ming called out a few times. Only then did Red Cherry come back to her senses. Tang Ming worriedly said, “Isn’t it just …”
“No.” Hong Ying replied cleanly, her attitude softening, “I just remembered my engagement.”
Lady Red Cherry is a natural beauty, a beauty that can topple empires. I’m sure she’s a phoenix among men.” Tang Ming’s expression remained the same.
“I’ve never seen him before. I don’t even know if he’s alive or dead.” Red Cherry blinked: “Except for knowing that he is the only son of the number one martial artist, Tang Qing.”
Tang Ming’s body stiffened.
Tang Qing’s only son, didn’t that mean that Miss Hong Ying could be his fiancee?
“In fact, I even held my fiancé. If it wasn’t for the matter of the annihilation of the Tang Family Castle being too sudden, maybe he and I would still be childhood friends.” Red Cherry stretched. She did not notice that something was wrong with Tang Ming’s words. “If that’s the case, then it’s not like I’ve never seen him before.”
Hug…
Tang Ming’s expression turned even weirder. Hong Ying also noticed that Tang Ming didn’t seem to be in a good mood, “What’s wrong, why is there such an expression on his face?”
“No …” “Nothing.” Tang Ming’s gaze drifted to another direction, but he couldn’t help but ask: “Miss Hong Ying, you and Tang…” “Tang Family Castle, we were friends for a long time.”
“I’m not too sure about the matters of the previous generation.” Hong Ying lowered her eyes. “My mother went early. There are a lot of things that I am not very clear about.”
For example, his father was very adept at dealing with the Eastern Gu race, it was as if he was very adept at things related to the Eastern Gu race.
Later on, when the martial arts world was in chaos and the people from the sect were busy protecting themselves, Qingfeng Manor and the Qian Ji Pavilion suddenly extended a helping hand to Red Cherry. This was also the reason why they were able to grow up safely after losing their mother.
At first, Hong Ying thought it was because of her father. However, later on, Hong Ying could vaguely sense that there was also a possibility that it was her mother.
Because of that chaos, Hong Ying could not find out many things. Not to mention that the Pure Wind House and the Thousand Revolution Pavilion had also tightly sealed off all information.
Perhaps there would be some news in the Cloud Sky Sect.
When she thought of Chu Junran, Hong Ying hesitated.
She still hadn’t figured out what was going on with Chu Feng, so she decided to give it a try.
Moreover, he really liked Tang Ming as a big boy and didn’t want to use him.
Just as Red Cherry was thinking about all sorts of things, Tang Ming was also a bit distracted.
Never would he have thought that he was just going out to gain some experience. Not only did he realize that he was suspected to be Tang Qing’s only son, but he might even have a fiancee.
Although she was a devastatingly beautiful woman, Tang Ming already planned to spend his life with her.
Tang Ming sighed. Looking at Hong Ying’s appearance, he still did not know his identity. He would take it one step at a time.
“Miss Hong Ying …”
“Young Master Tang …”
The two of them spoke up at the same time and were stunned at the same time.
“Tell me first!” Red Cherry and Tang Ming spoke at the same time.
“Cough, cough …” Tang Ming concealed his cough, “Miss Hong Ying, you first.”
“I just want to ask, is there anything you need to pay attention to in the Divine Bird White Tiger Bureau?” Red Cherry did not delay as she opened her mouth.
Her voice was charming and alluring.
“Yes.” Tang Ming hid his reddened ears and seriously said, “The Divine Bird White Tiger Bureau has countless traps. Even though I have never seen it before, I’ve only remembered the gist of it.”
“Is there a sign for the formation core?” Red Cherry didn’t care about Tang Ming’s words. She was only concerned about the position of the formation core.
“Yes, but …” Before Tang Ming could finish his sentence, Hong Ying interrupted him, “If there is, then so be it. At that time, I will be in charge of dealing with the mechanism while you will break the Formation Aperture.”
“No!” Tang Ming objected without even thinking, “That mechanism is extremely dangerous. How can I let Miss Hong Ying go alone …”
“I repeat.” Red Cherry glanced at Tang Ming: “Stop being a gentleman.”
Tang Ming’s mouth gaped open. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, “Miss Hong Ying, I just feel that it would be better to let me handle those traps.”
“Hmm?” Hong Ying raised her eyebrows and stood on the spot, waiting for Tang Ming’s explanation.
“Lady Red Cherry, the wooden puppet from before has also seen it.” Tang Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Compared to Miss Hong Ying’s whip, it’s clear that this sword of mine can handle the wooden puppets better. I saw it when I was injured earlier.”
He heaved a sigh of relief, “My injuries were not caused by the wooden puppets. It was because I had a moment of enlightenment while fighting the wooden puppets, but because of my own circumstances, I was unable to endure the sudden enlightenment for the time being, which resulted in the backlash.”
“So you suspect that the central plot of the Four Symbols was specifically designed for swordsmen?” Hong Ying thought for a moment and decided not to resist.
“Yes, this is the Dian Yuan School. The Dian Yuan School has always been a subsidiary sect of the Cloud Sky Sect, and the Cloud Sky Sect also has a map modified by the Four Divisions Bureau.” Tang Ming calmly explained: “So, this mechanism is more suited to be broken down no matter how I see it. Miss Hong Ying wouldn’t take this opportunity away, right?”
Hong Ying looked at Tang Ming and suddenly laughed. Her smile lit up the entire room. “Tang Ming, you are a very powerful lobbyist.”
Red Cherry understood that Tang Ming wanted to stop her from using her mechanism magic, but he wasn’t so greedy that he wanted to monopolize the opportunity.
But Red Cherry didn’t want Tang Ming to miss this opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, he really didn’t know when he would have to wait until next time.
