Chapter 116 Strategizing
Xiuxiang Pavilion is the most famous fireworks place in Donghua City. Unlike other Goulan, the girls in Xiuxiang Pavilion are not only beautiful but also versatile. After nightfall, it becomes the liveliest place in the city, with many young masters hanging around.
Tang Qi comes here several times every month, but something is different today. When he enters the room, waiting for him is not his old friend, but two grown men.
Looking at the sneers on the two faces in front of him, Tang Qi felt a chill in his heart. Since the other party had found this place to wait for him, the matter was probably exposed.
The people waiting in the room were Lu Pei and Chu Ming.
After Lu Han's narration, Chu Ming knew that the person who made the sneak attack was an earth attribute cultivator, the lowest level of Jie Ying. With this range, it was not difficult to find Tang Qi.
Although Tang Qi's surname is Tang, he is just the head family of the Tang family in Donghua City and has no real blood relationship. After joining the Tang family, he was appreciated by Tang Qian and became his confidant.
"You don't look too surprised. It seems you know why we are looking for you!"
Lu Pei held the tea cup in his hand tightly, trying his best to suppress the anger deep in his heart. This bastard dared to hurt his son! According to Lu Pei's idea, he just chopped it with a knife, but his son-in-law said that keeping him would be useful.
"Master Lu, I don't understand what you are talking about -"
Tang Qi would naturally not admit it. Without concrete evidence, the other party should not dare to take action rashly.
"Tang Qi, do you think I dare not touch you without any evidence?" As if he had seen through the other party's mind, Lu Pei's face became colder, "It is extremely easy for someone from our Lu family to disappear alone in East Lake.
, it’s useless even if you hide to the ends of the earth!”
Tang Qi's body suddenly stiffened. That's right! With the power of the Lu family, what's the difference between dealing with him and crushing an ant?
"But don't worry, I, Lu Pei, am a person with status after all, and I can't do anything like you to sneak attack on young people! I don't have to do it myself, I just need to reveal to Tang Qian the news that you are meeting us alone tonight.
, he will do it for you!"
Tang Qi's heart trembled again.
"There are many masters in the Tang family, why did Tang Qian only send you to sneak attack on my son? Five years ago, you were teasing a common girl on the street, and my eldest son happened to meet you, and we had a conflict and almost got into a fight. What happened was this?
It’s an old story that’s known to the whole city. It’s not like no one believes you if you say you took action because you had a grudge!”
Tang Qian had planned to use himself as the scapegoat if the incident was revealed? Tang Qi's eyes flashed anxiously.
No one knew whether Tang Qian's original thoughts were like this, and Chu Ming and Lu Pei didn't care at all. They only needed a reason, an excuse to make the people in front of them sway and betray.
"What do you want?"
"It's very simple. As long as you do one thing for me, I, the Lu family, will never pursue you for attacking my son!"
"You want me to identify Tang Qian?"
"Why do you need to identify a dead person?" Lu Pei sneered and said: "I will notify you when I need your help, but you have to remember - your head is only temporarily placed on your shoulders.
If you dare to play tricks... don’t blame Mr. Lu for his tricks!"
The coaxing and threatening words made Tang Qi lose his temper immediately. Although he did not respond in public, his expression and the gesture of bowing his hands before going out were enough to show his attitude.
"Do you think he will be obedient? He won't tell Tang Qian about this right away, right?" Lu Pei asked, somewhat unsure.
"Don't worry, uncle. After all, Tang Qi is still an outsider in the Tang family, and he can't be completely devoted to Tang Qian. What's more, how many of you in the Lu family are not afraid of the prestige in East Lake?"
Chu Ming didn't forget to flatter him as he spoke.
Lu Pei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "He better know people! But where did you learn these rhetorics that you taught me? They don't look like the thoughts of a young man!
"
Chu Ming laughed dumbly. He had watched so many plot movies in his previous life, and the four words of coercion and inducement were the basic tactics.
...
Everything was prepared to deal with Tang Qian. He was just waiting for the right moment. In order to make the other party relax his vigilance, Chu Ming plunged into the inner courtyard.
"Why are you willing to go back to the academy? You've been busy all day long, and you don't care about cultivation at all! Let me tell you, if you don't get results in the Wushu Competition of the Fifth Academy, I will blame you!"
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he bumped into Ning Zhiyuan. The old man came up and cursed, leaving Chu Ming without even a chance to explain.
"Don't worry, Dean, I'm sensible!" Seeing that the old man still wanted to teach him a lesson, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how has Qin Zhan been practicing recently?"
"It's not bad. He just broke through to the high level of Heart Forging. What kind of elixir did your kid use on him? It won't have any side effects, right?"
"How could I cheat my own brother!" Chu Ming smiled, noticed that the old man's eyes were shining, and rushed down: "That elixir was left to me by a senior, there are not more left!"
Ning Zhiyuan obviously didn't believe it. He stared at Chu Ming and asked, "No prescription?"
"This...it does exist, but the materials are hard to find, and only I can practice it..."
Chu Ming did not lie. Jiuyou Ring did contain the recipes for several elixirs, but there were some medicines that only Jiuyou Lihuo could refine.
Ning Zhiyuan once again showed a suspicious look, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Give me the materials, refine them and give some to the college. The price can be negotiated!"
Obviously the old man thought that Chu Ming didn't want to take it out in vain.
He couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so Chu Ming didn't bother to explain. He took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names of several main ingredients and handed them over.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at it for a few times. He was not an alchemist and was not familiar with medicinal materials. He put the ring back and said, "I'll go back and ask if there is any in the Alchemy Academy's warehouse. You kid, hurry up and finish what you are doing. It will take a while."
There is a task for you!"
"What mission?"
"You'll know then!"
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace. Chu Ming was not surprised by the dean's personality of showing off.
After entering the God Burial Forest and into the deep valley, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, they saw Meng Wushuang holding Bingbing in his arms, seemingly telling him a story. Although Qin Zhan was practicing in the inner courtyard, he was not in the God Burial Forest.
Chu Ming didn't know where the arrangement was.
"elder brother--"
After seeing Chu Ming, the little girl stopped listening to the story, struggled to leave Meng Wushuang's arms, and plunged into Chu Ming's arms.
"Eh? Bingbing, why did your hair become like this?"
Chu Ming suddenly discovered that the little girl's originally full head of black hair had a lot of silvery white color, making her already like a porcelain doll more delicate and cute, like a cartoon character coming out of a comic book.
"Hehehe - after absorbing the ice crystals brought back by my brother, my strength has improved a lot, and I will soon reach the ninth level!"
