Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 173: Eavesdropping is addictive
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan were not easily moved, but this incident was truly too shocking.
Tang Zheng was an outsider and had no preconceived feelings towards Leng Xianyuan. Xu Qingyan was also a person of unknown origin and seldom cared much about a person or a thing. However, even they couldn't hold back, let alone Ning Mo, who had been following in Leng Xianyuan's footsteps and guarding Feishi City for many years.
As soon as Ning Mo's eyes turned red, Tang Zheng quickly pulled him.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The next second, the "little bee" in his hand exploded several times in succession and then exploded directly.
Fires flew everywhere and debris flew all over the sky and the ground.
Others are not aware of the danger of these star power instruments, but Tang Zheng is very clear about it. On the one hand, he has the foundation in casting, and on the other hand, he himself has used star power explosion to kill Lan Shaoze!
If Tang Zhengwan had delayed Ning Mo for half a breath, he would definitely have been injured.
Star power disorder is no joke!
"Prevent fire and theft, and pay attention to safety." Tang Zheng looked at Ning Mo's red eyes and didn't say much, just patted his shoulder.
"Beast!" Ning Mo panted and clenched his hands into fists.
"We don't know what the situation is now. Maybe they are joking." Tang Zheng carefully picked up a dozen pieces of bee debris on the ground and sighed regretfully.
Ning Mo had tried to suppress his emotions just now, but, in the end, he still couldn't control his star power.
Therefore, the little bee was shattered into pieces due to his out-of-control star power.
"Mr. Tang, let me do it..." Ning Mo became nervous again when he saw Tang was packing up, "This part can't be with that one..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Tang Zheng tearing the tablecloth into two pieces and putting the pieces that shouldn't be put together separately.
Ning Mo looked at Tang Zheng in shock: "How do you know so much about these things?"
Tang Zheng smiled faintly: "I told you, I am a disciple of Master Lu Huang from Bailianfang. You don't believe it?"
Ning Mo immediately shook his head like a rattle.
Bailianfang is one of the five most famous forces in Xingyao Continent. How can ordinary people get involved with it?
"Are there any spare ones?" Tang Zheng asked, pointing at the fragments of the little bee.
"I'm sorry..." Ning Mo shook his head again, biting his lower lip and trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart .
"Forget it." Tang Zheng also knew that he was not to be blamed for this.
Leng Xianyuan is a person who cannot be desecrated by any soldier on the frontier. Even if a storyteller in the restaurant says two disrespectful words to him, it will cause an uproar.
What's more, Li Zhi and his men were actually going to rob Leng Xianyuan's tomb!
Ning Mo's call of them beasts was an insult to beasts.
This kind of emotion of his cannot be suppressed by any effort. No matter how much Tang Zheng says "I understand", he can't really empathize with him.
A handkerchief with a fragrant scent was handed to Ning Mo.
Ning Mo was stunned, then he saw Xu Qingyan pointing at the corner of his mouth. He reached out and wiped it, and found that a trace of bright red blood had already flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was still unaware.
Suddenly, a cold breath came from beside me.
Ning Mo looked up and saw Tang Zheng's face, which was neither delicate nor handsome, but he felt inexplicably calm.
The source of that icy breath was Tang Zheng's Han Jiang Xue.
"Mr. Tang, I..." Ning Mo's emotions seemed to gradually calm down along with the coldness of the snow on the river.
"It's okay." It didn't take Tang Zheng long to erase all traces in Lily Pavilion and restore most things to their original state without leaving a trace.
Ning Mo couldn't help but look at Tang Zheng again.
Because there are many details that only a "professional" like him would notice, but Tang Zheng has already started to do them.
He should have been the one to clean up these things.
Tang Zheng seemed to take care of his emotions and did everything he was supposed to do.
Then, Tang Zhengti did not mention Lu Wantang and the others again. Instead, he pulled a chair and sat down: "Wait for the food to be served."
"But..." Ning Mo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the waiter who just came in to serve the dishes.
"The color of the dish is good, but the taste is probably not good..." Tang Zheng looked at Xu Qingyan, "Would you like to try it?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingyan nodded without comment.
"I think Lan Shaoze is just a puppet that has been restored, but his eyes are clear, and he is not completely lifeless. It remains to be seen whether he can recover his intelligence in the future." Tang Zheng said while eating.
"I'm afraid there is someone who wants to use that skin to do something." Xu Qingyan stopped here and did not go into more details.
The two talked about food, tea, and Lan Shaoze, but did not mention Leng Xiangyuan, the cemetery, or Lu Wantang.
Only after they had eaten and drunk enough did Tang Zheng stand up and look at Ning Mo: "We know too little about Leng Xianyuan, Lu Wantang and the others, so don't act rashly for now."
Ning Mo originally thought that Tang Zheng had forgotten about this matter, but unexpectedly, he suddenly brought it up again after dinner.
"Yes." Ning Mo was nominally a slave now, so of course he knew that the first order should be to obey Tang Zheng.
"Let's go back." Tang Zheng walked out of the box slowly, turned his head to look at Furong Pavilion in the distance, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
…
When the three of them left Chunxiao Restaurant, the moon was already high in the sky.
The carriage took Tang Zheng to Yisu Academy, and then returned to Tianxia Minglu.
There are not many people in the school district of Yisu Academy at night. Most students have already gone to bed, and even if there are activities, they are all in the dormitory area.
Tang Zheng did not go towards his dormitory, but went directly to Leng Zhan.
After all, Leng Zhan is a direct descendant of the Changyuan Leng family, and the residence arranged for him by the academy is a separate small courtyard. Although it is not big, it is still quiet.
Because it was so quiet, Tang Zheng heard a female voice before he even entered the yard...
"Brother, listen to me..."
Judging from the voice, it seems to be the sister of Leng Zhan, calm down.
Tang Zheng did not interrupt the other siblings' conversation and just waited outside the yard gate.
"Grandpa has missed you a lot recently. He always mentions you and your childhood at home. He also said that Leng Zhan was very obedient and sensible when he was a child. The thing that impressed me most was your 5th birthday. You said that your brother made a wish, which was that the family would prosper forever. When other children were still praying for this kind of toys and dolls, your brother was so sensible that he started to worry about the family..." Leng Jing imitated the old man's tone and laughed as he spoke.
However, the same words might not be so funny to Leng Zhan's ears.
How long has it been since he left the Leng family capital to pursue his dream?
Old Man Leng is a nine-star strong man, but to him, he is just an ordinary old man!
Leng Zhan said nothing, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
"Also, grandma hangs a lucky bag for you in her room every year, saying that you will grow taller every year if you hang up the lucky bag. She also asked you how tall you are now. Hee, I said, how could that be possible? I wouldn't grow any taller when my brother went to Yisu Academy... As a result, grandma scolded me, saying that her Leng Zhan would continue to grow taller, very tall, and become the backbone of the Changyuan Leng family..." Leng Leng raised his hands above his head, stood on tiptoes to gesture, and laughed again.
Leng Zhan closed his eyes slightly, turned around and prepared to go into the house.
To Leng Jing, many things are jokes, funny and interesting, but to Leng Zhan, they feel like they carry a heavy weight.
Of course, no matter how much pressure he is under, he will not tell Leng Jing.
"Oh, and one more thing..." He bit his finger calmly, his voice becoming more serious, "The Leng Family Elders' Council wants to deprive you of your status as heir!"
Leng Zhan stopped walking into the house.
He turned his head, not calmly asking, "Why?"
"Because you haven't come back for several years, and insisted on the star-attracting method of 'Po Jun Jiu Zhou Tian', and wanted to practice the 'Thunder God Technique', and you didn't repent after failing several times... Anyway, I said a lot of things. I think people like you are stubborn and conservative, and you don't have the ability to lead the Changyuan Leng family to a further step!" Leng Jing's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"Yeah." Leng Zhan raised his head, his eyes shining with a different light in the night sky, "Who do they want to go up?"
"Leng Bingyun ." A calm answer.
"She can't do it." Leng Zhan didn't say anything else, just spit out three words.
Leng Jing understood that Leng Zhan didn't particularly care about the identity of the heir, but that didn't mean he was only focused on pursuing his own martial arts and had no feelings for the Leng family.
If it's a good heir, he doesn't care.
But if it was an heir who was obviously not so reliable, he certainly would not be so cowardly as to give it up.
"Of course she can't!" Leng Jing got angry when he mentioned Leng Bingyun, "The head of the Changyuan Leng family has never had a three-character name!"
Tang Zheng didn't understand what was said. The head of the Changyuan Leng family actually had requirements for the number of characters in the name? Isn't this a bit too weird?
But Leng Zhan's expression did not change, and he did not find this incident funny at all.
Because, Leng Zhan, Leng Jing and others all know very well what these three-character names represent!
A branch of the Leng family!
Direct descendants like Leng Zhan would never have a three-character name.
"Brother, keep working hard. I believe that you are definitely not arrogant, nor are you overconfident. Your Pojun Jiu Zhoutian will definitely be able to successfully attract stars... Moreover, I also believe that in the near future, I will be honored to see... the light of the real "Thunder God Art" fall again on the dark red land of Changyuan Leng's family..."
Pah pah pah…
Before she finished her words, she heard applause coming from outside the yard.
"Who?" Leng Zhan shouted. Who could have hidden beside him for so long without him noticing at all?
