Returnee in Jianghu - C68

He had been busy all day, especially since Tang Ming had accompanied Tang Rou to run around in a circle. He was truly tired.

However, it wasn’t without benefits. At least, Tang Ming had managed to get a good grasp of the perfect layout.

Just as Tang Ming was about to lie down, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Young Master Tang, the master invited you.”

The ice-cold voice sounded like it was the sound of an evil spirit that was about to take its life, but Tang Ming was not the least bit afraid. He confidently opened the door and looked at the ice-cold Servant Zheng: “Why is it so late? What is Aunt looking for me for?”

Servant Zheng remained silent.

Just a dumb look.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Tang Ming saw that Servant Zheng was obedient to Tang Rou’er today, Tang Ming would have suspected that Servant Zheng was a puppet that he had encountered in the Four Divisions Bureau.

He only knew how to obey orders.

Wait a minute, you want me to listen to your words?

Tang Ming’s gaze suddenly became sharp as he sized up Servant Zheng. All day, Tang Ming did not notice Servant Zheng’s appearance. Even though Servant Zheng’s presence was very strong, Tang Ming still did not notice Servant Zheng’s appearance.

Now that he looked at it, he realized that Servant Zheng had a pretty and delicate face, and was also very pleasant to look at.

It was a pretty boy who was very attractive to little girls.

Servant Zheng did not even flinch from Tang Ming’s gaze. “Please.”

“Don’t think about my sister.” Tang Ming suddenly opened his mouth and Servant Zheng fiercely turned his head.

“Young Master Tang is overthinking it.” Servant Zheng turned his head back. “I was just trying to grow up with Miss Ruo’er.”

Tang Ming: “…”

What do you mean growing up with your wife? Even though it’s a dereliction of duty for your brother to fail to grow up with her, it’s not something you’re here to ridicule.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he had to keep a smile on his face.

Servant Zheng brought Tang Ming to Tang Ning’s room and did not enter. Instead, he gestured a “please” sign towards Tang Ming.

Tang Ming did not make things difficult for Servant Zheng and directly opened the door.

He saw Tang Ning sitting alone in front of the window. The moonlight fell on his body, making him look lonely and sad.

“Aunty …” Tang Ning called, but turned his head.

His gaze was still sharp, like a warrior who would never lose. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Do you know why I called you here?” Tang Ning crossed his hands in his lap. There was not the slightest trace of tenderness in his eyes that a woman should have.

“Yes, has anything happened to Rou’er?” Tang Ming hesitated for a moment before asking.

Tang Ning looked at Tang Ming and sighed, “You’re as smart as Third Brother.”

Tang Ming didn’t say anything as he waited for Tang Ning to explain the whole situation.

“How much do you remember about the annihilation of the Tang Family?” Tang Ning’s gaze moved away from Tang Ming.

“Not much, just three pictures.” Tang Ming wasn’t much. It wasn’t known whether Tang Ning was relieved or resentful, “That’s right. You were only two years old at the time.”

What do you remember at the age of two?

“You followed Rou’er to see the Blood Jade Flowers today, right?” Tang Ning looked outside, “He must be very curious as well. As the last hope of the Tang Family Castle, why would I raise such a soft and tender body like this?”

“Yes.” Tang Ming did not refute him. Suddenly, Tang Ming opened his mouth: “Because of the Blood Jade Flower.”

“When I got home, the Tang Family Castle was in a mess. I only found a hidden Soft Child in a corner.” The tone of Tang Ning’s voice sent chills down one’s spine, “You were the one who hid it, right?”

“Sorry, I really … “I don’t remember.” Tang Ming lowered his eyes.

“But, no matter how well-hidden it is, it can’t change how little Rou is an ordinary little girl. To a martial artist, this isn’t a problem at all. Do you know how little Rou managed to escape this calamity?” The corners of Tang Ning’s eyes reddened, “When I found her, Rou Er’s life was already hanging by a thread, and her breathing was faint, thus she was able to avoid danger. However, it was also because of her heavy injuries that even Xiao Chunfeng couldn’t do anything about it.”

“So …” Tang Ming felt as if he had just heard a great joke. “How could this be? Aunt, are you joking? Right?”

“Among the Blood Jade Flowers in the Tang Family Castle, there is one with more than three hundred petals.” Tang Ning took a deep breath, “But even so, I can only do it for my wife’s 20 years of life. I don’t know when, but when I pushed open her door and realized … Rou’er is no longer breathing. ”

Normally, a Blood Jade Flower would last for at most ten years, but the one Tang Ning gave to Tang Rou’er should be a top-grade Blood Jade Flower.

But even so, it only took twenty years.

Tang Rou’er had eaten the Blood Jade Flower when she was two years old. In addition to twenty years, Tang Rou’er could only live to twenty-two years old at most.

The same age as the flower.

Tang Ming simply didn’t want to believe this ending. Even if he knew that this couldn’t be fake, Tang Ning had no reason to lie to him.

“Is there no other way?” Tang Ming’s entire body was ice-cold. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind: “Yuan fruit!”

“Do you think I haven’t thought about it?” Tang Ning smiled bitterly, “But you forgot. Let alone that we don’t even know where the Gazing-Yuan Fruit grew, even if we found it, we wouldn’t be able to find it.”

The Gazing-Yuan Fruit was a fruit that could be called an immortal fruit recorded by all sects. Legend said that it could revive a person, but it was said that anyone who picked this fruit would die in an especially miserable manner.

However, once it was recorded, there must have been a Gazing-Yuan Fruit. Tang Ning had once placed his hopes on the Gazing-Yuan Fruit.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the main branch of the Tang family castle had been exterminated, their connections to each other were all in Tang Ning’s hands. If Tang Ning didn’t bring Tang Rou’er and disappeared, Tang Ning’s power would still be able to look down on everyone.

Not to mention that the two largest sects in the martial arts world, the Cloud Sky Sect and the Pure Wind Manor, were full of guilt towards Tang Ning. Even Feng Nan, the former Sect Leader of the Demonic Sect, circled Tang Ning the moment he saw him, afraid of offending him.

It wasn’t that Feng Nan was afraid of Tang Ning, but he also had a share in the matters of the past. It could be said that Tang Ning and all the other powers that had inherited the Tang Family Castle had no problem dominating the martial arts world.

However, when almost the entire martial arts world was looking for the Wangyuan fruit, they all stopped at the puppet families that had been annihilated by the Eastern Gu clan.

It was said that only those from the Puppet Family knew about the Floating Deep Fruit, so those who knew about it kidnapped the only survivor of the Puppet family. However, Silver Che didn’t know about it at all.

Mentioning the Wangyuan Fruit, he had a confused look on his face. He didn’t even know as much as Tang Ning himself.

As a result, when Yin Che saw Tang Ning and his men, he avoided them.

Therefore, Tang Ning had already completely given up on the Gazing-Yuan Fruit. He only thought that Tang Rou would be able to settle down and happily finish this sentence.

In the end, he was still a little unwilling. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the library all day.

“There will be a way.” Tang Ming firmly said, “I will definitely find the Deep Gazing Fruit.”

His sister would definitely be able to live for a hundred years.
