Returnee in Jianghu - C80

“You mean someone wants to mess up your bar mitzvah?” Tang Ning looked at Tang Ming with a solemn gaze, causing Tang Ming to feel a bit bored.

“Yes, I saw the seven-colored poison disc in the Hundred Flowers Valley. It’s exactly the same as the butterflies killed by Alliance Head Liu Huaiqing. Moreover, the poison disc might be even more intense than the seven-colored poison disc I saw in the Valley.” Tang Ming said in a low voice, his gaze cold. Compared to Tang Ning’s reserved gaze, Tang Ming’s gaze was still sharp.

Laughing Spring Wind had once told Tang Ming that the more vivid the color of the Rainbow Venom Plate was, the stronger the poison would be.

“How did Liu Huai Qu know that Soft’s gift had a seven-colored poison disc?” Tang Ning didn’t continue investigating and instead looked at Tang Ming seriously.

Xiang Ru wasn’t completely under Tang Ning’s control, but Tang Ning didn’t believe that a person who just entered could control Xiang Ru’s news channels even more than her master.

“I don’t know.” Tang Ming looked at Tang Ning. “There’s one more thing, Aunt. Chief Liu might be interested in Rou’er.”

The cup of water in Tang Ning’s hand was almost crushed as his smile became a bit twisted: “I originally wanted to let Servant Zheng not follow Rou’er, but now it seems that it is impossible for Servant Zheng not to go.”

Tang Ming hesitated for a moment. “Aunt, this Servant Zheng …”

“He is an orphan that I picked up, and also a servant that I specially raised for Rou Er. However, recently, he seems to have had some thoughts that he shouldn’t have had.” Tang Ning said to Tang Ming in a unclear tone, but Tang Ming understood his aunt’s meaning.

Tang Ming felt that in the future, he would be like a wolf in front of his younger sister, fearing that the big tailed wolf would take his younger sister away.

“Alright, leave the matter of the seven-colored poison disc to me. When are you planning to go to the capital?” Downing put down the cup he had almost destroyed.

“Tomorrow.” Tang Ming answered without hesitation, “After all, time waits for no one.”

“Not bidding farewell to your girl?” Tang Ming didn’t continue looking at Tang Ming and instead sighed.

“No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave now.” Tang Ming’s words were full of humor, but it made Tang Ning’s gaze soften.

“Then that’s it for now.” Tang Ning indifferently opened his mouth and rubbed his temples with his fingers: “That’s right, I heard that you chased out a pair of Master and disciple earlier?”

“Yes, why did aunt ask me this?” When Tang Ming heard this, he looked at Tang Ning.

“It’s nothing.” Tang Ning placed a jade finger in Tang Ming’s hand: “Take it.”

Tang Ming held the jade-white finger and suddenly felt that it was a bit familiar. “This is …”

“The keepsake of every previous patriarch of the Tang clan can only be considered a nice ornament now.” Tang Ning spoke lightly, but the sadness in his voice couldn’t be hidden.

Tang Ming solemnly received the jade finger and said, “If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”

“Yes.” “Pay attention to your safety.”

“Yes.”

The weather gradually became colder. Under the sky, there was a small amount of snow. In a restaurant in the bustling Nine Creek City, scholars gathered together.

“I say, among us, Brother Yang is the last one who will fall off the list.”

One of the scholars said loudly. Everyone’s eyes were on the young man in the corner.

“What, Little Li, do you have any thoughts?” The person sitting beside the youth surnamed Yang prodded Yang Canghai.

“Brother Mo, please don’t joke with me. How can I compare with the number one genius, Li Yuyan?” Yang Canghai, on the other hand, was calm. Mo Gui shrugged his shoulders and laughed, “You also know that I’m joking, why are you being so serious?”

A black-clothed youth stopped after hearing the conversation between the two.

“Customer, what’s wrong?” The waiter looked at the youth who had stopped.

Yang Canghai could tell that the other person was looking at him, so he asked with a polite smile: “Sir, do you need something?”

“Not at all.” The young man, Tang Ming, who was hurrying towards the capital spoke with a cold expression. His attitude seemed as if he didn’t want to keep people at a distance as he followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor.

In reality, Tang Ming only stopped after hearing Li Yuyan’s name. He didn’t have any special meaning.

Although Yang Canghai was baffled, he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Tang Ming’s clothes were exquisite, and from a glance, it was obvious that he wasn’t some ordinary family’s child. He probably heard that someone was compared to Li Yuyan, so he looked at her curiously.

In the box

The waiter helped Tang Ming take care of the table: “Sir, do you need anything?”

“Serve a few of your signature dishes and a glass or two of wine.” Tang Ming didn’t look at the menu. Although he wasn’t some son of a noble family, he wasn’t short on money.

It could be said that even the smallest sect in the martial world was not poor at all.

After all, the dozen of wounds and the herbs used to cleanse the marrow were not empty words.

Therefore, people like Liu Huai Qu, who did not belong to any sect, were very few in number. On one hand, it was because of the scarcity of resources, and on the other hand, there were very few sources of information.

For a famous disciple like Tang Ming, the amount of resources required to train him was an astronomical figure. Thus, during Tang Ming’s coming of age ceremony, other than some small and brainless sects, they would only choose to flatter him. Those with more brains would be able to hear that the rumors were strange, because the Heavenly Cloud Sect had paid a huge price to nurture Tang Ming, which was not something that a < Breaking Red Sword Technique > book could compare with.

Even if it was the number one sword technique in the world.

It was only because the rumors came from the Cloud Sky Sect that everyone suspected that this was an internal conflict of the Cloud Sky Sect. They were afraid that they would be implicated so they did not raise their suspicions.

“Alright, customer, please wait a moment!”

The waiter threw the cloth on his shoulder and enthusiastically said.

“Yes.” Tang Ming politely nodded as he watched the waiter walk out of the room.

The viewing angle of the box was very good. Tang Ming discovered that when he looked over, he was just able to see the two youths that he had just seen.

As the two youths were happily chatting, suddenly, a popinjay disciple barged in: “Yang Canghai you bastard, come out for this Young Master!”

Tang Ming frowned as he noticed the foppish young lord’s somewhat familiar face.

“It’s the Li Family?”

“Yeah, ever since the number one genius, Li Yuyan, left, the Li family’s actions have become more and more preposterous.”

“That’s right.”

“Brother Yang …” Mo Gui looked hesitantly at Yang Canghai. Yang Canghai shook his head, “Brother Mo, don’t bother, I will handle this matter.”

The Mo Clan was the newest upstart, but their foundations were too shallow, so they could not fight against the Li Clan. The Yang Clan and the Li Clan had always been at odds, and even though Yang Canghai was just a side branch, offending a Li Clan member was not a problem.

The popinjay glanced at Yang Canghai who stood up with an arrogant expression: “You are Yang Canghai?”

“Yes, I wonder why Young Master Li is looking for me?” Yang Canghai’s demeanor was decent, and compared to the popinjay in front of him, the difference between high and low was obvious.
