Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 86: Tang Zheng's True Origin
Seeing Tang Zheng fall down in a very ugly manner, Li Xiaoren walked over with a frown. Without saying a word, he directly input his star power and checked Tang Zheng's injuries.
"Fortunately, it's just a minor flesh wound, and the star vein is not damaged." After the examination, Li Xiaoren pulled Tang Zheng up, causing Tang Zheng to grimace in pain.
"Are you out of your mind? This is simply nonsense. How can you practice martial arts like this? You're lucky enough to still be able to use your legs!" Li Xiaoren didn't care that Tang Zheng was still sweating from the pain and started scolding him again.
Tang Zheng laughed twice and didn't say anything back. He was indeed a little too proud of himself just now.
When it comes to practicing martial arts, haste makes waste. The fact that Tang Zheng was able to successfully perform the Cloud-Stepping Step in less than two hours was already a major breakthrough .
The correct approach should be to practice as quickly as possible to consolidate and familiarize yourself with the feeling of performing the Cloud-Stepping Step, rather than just trying to run faster and faster, which will eventually lead to problems in the star power circulation circuit and end in a "cylinder explosion".
"With your injury, you probably need to rest for a few hours and can't practice. You can continue tomorrow. I warn you, if you force yourself to practice, your leg will be crippled." Li Xiaoren looked at Tang Zheng's swollen calf, said coldly, and turned away.
Tang Zheng touched his wound and felt a piercing pain. He smiled bitterly and limped back to the dormitory.
After leaving the training ground, Li Xiaoren did not return to the instructors' academy, but went directly to Ouyang Luoluo's First Deacon's Academy.
Leng Buchen asked Ouyang Luoluo to investigate Tang Zheng's origins, but until today, Li Xiaoren has not received the answer from Ouyang Luoluo.
As a colleague at the same level, Li Xiaoren had originally not wanted to ask Ouyang Luoluo about the results of the investigation. However, as Tang Zheng's instructor these days, Li Xiaoren was repeatedly surprised by his talent and potential.
For such a student, Li Xiaoren really doesn't want to keep teaching him with a psychological burden.
This is unfair to both himself and Tang Zheng.
Therefore, Li Xiaoren could no longer hold back and decided to find out the result of this issue today. If Ouyang Luoluo could not give him an answer today, he would find out the truth himself.
"Deacon Ouyang, have you investigated Tang Zheng's background clearly?" Li Xiaoren asked straight to the point as soon as he saw Ouyang Luoluo.
Ouyang Luoluo was dealing with the aftermath of Tang Zheng's crazy contribution to the academy. When she looked up, she saw Li Xiaoren's poker face and replied unhappily, "There's a result a long time ago. I've already reported it to Head Steward Leng. Why, do I need to report it to you again?"
"That's right, you have to tell me!" Li Xiaoren replied stiffly.
Ouyang Luoluo sneered: "Why? You are my superior?"
Li Xiaoren shook his head and insisted: "Because I am Tang Zheng's current instructor!"
After hearing what Li Xiaoren said, Ouyang Luoluo was silent for a moment. She did not continue to argue with him. She frowned and said, "After investigation, it is clear that Tang Zheng's identity is indeed problematic."
Hearing Ouyang Luoluo's answer, Li Xiaoren's heart sank suddenly, and he said coldly: "Okay, then I know what to do."
Ouyang Luoluo saw Li Xiaoren's murderous look and couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "What do you know? I haven't finished what I'm saying. Tang Zheng's identity is problematic, but that doesn't mean he's problematic as a person!"
Li Xiaoren asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Tang Zheng's identity is fake. He is definitely not from the Liuyun family. However, his nameplate is real. It was indeed made by Bailianfang."
"I have personally asked Master Lu about this. His answer to me is that Bailianfang does have some gray channels to provide this kind of nameplate production for some customers with special needs, but he guarantees that the customers of this kind of nameplate are definitely not spies of the demon race. Bailianfang also has its own review system, and it may be much stricter than our academy..."
After listening to this, Li Xiaoren's frown relaxed a little, but still did not completely relax: "Although Bailianfang gave Tang Zheng a guarantee that he is definitely not a spy from the demon clan, he is still a little vague about his origins... There is still no answer to this question?!"
Ouyang Luoluo smiled and shook her head, "Bai Lian Fang has already said that this is their gray channel business, how could they tell us all the information about such a client? I'm afraid even Master Lu Huang may not know all of it. However, I'm 90% sure of Tang Zheng's identity and background. Although it can't be said that he has an upright background, for the academy and the entire human race, his background is definitely not a problem!"
Li Xiaoren narrowed his eyes: "Could it be... that family?"
Ouyang Luoluo heard Li Xiaoren's riddle and nodded: "Yes, it is Yingshan! In this world, how many people are qualified to let Bailianfang help them do gray business? Yingshan is definitely the most likely one!"
"Moreover, according to my investigation, Tang Zheng and two people, an old man and a young boy, appeared near Wulong Town at almost the same time. The old man is called Ghost Grandpa, and the young one is called Azhi."
"I am 100% sure of the origins of this ghost grandfather and Azhi. They are from Yingshan, and they are undergoing the inheritance trial of Yingshan. However, according to some information leaked by Yingshan in the past, every time they have an inheritance trial, there will generally be only one inheritor who accepts the trial on a trial route. The one who successfully returns to Yingshan alive will be the next Yingshan King!"
"This time it was very strange. Tang Zhengming and Azhi both felt like they were undergoing a test of inheritance. During their time in Wulong Town, there were constant attempts by Yingshan assassins to assassinate them."
"Tang Zheng once interfered in an inn. It was originally a trial assessment for Azhi. If he was not a very familiar person, and interfered with the trial assessment of the inheritor that Yingshan valued the most, Yingshan would never let this person leave alive according to his style!"
"But neither Azhi nor Ghost Grandpa cared about this matter at all. Azhi later went to Tangjiabao and learned the assassination method from Tang Zheng. The two of them also assassinated Lan Shaoze of Yinlan Villa together..."
"Later, when the Qintian Sect targeted Tangjiabao, Ghost Grandpa also took action directly because of Tang Zheng and easily helped Tangjiabao out. According to my investigation of the situation when Ghost Grandpa took action, this Ghost Grandpa is at least a seven-star warrior, and it is even very likely that he is the same as our headmaster, both of them are seven-star peaks and nine-star seeds!"
“Think about it, if it weren’t for the pleas of a junior who he is very familiar with and has high hopes for, how could a seven-star warrior care about the situation of a mere Tang Family Fort and brazenly take action to directly shock an entire sect!”
"Finally, this Tang Zheng has been extremely generous in his spending, and he has no concept of being short of money at all. Apart from the younger generations of Purple Gold City, I'm afraid only Yingshan, a direct descendant of the dark forces who specializes in making huge profits without any investment, can be so rich."
"So, whether it's from the relationship between Tang Zheng, Azhi and Ghost Grandpa, or from the timing of Tang Zheng's appearance, and his concept of money... we can conclude that he is Yingshan's man, and it is very likely that he is also one of the inheritors of Yingshan in this generation. Maybe he is Azhi's biological brother, who didn't want to compete with his brother for the qualification to inherit the Shadow King and killed each other. In the end, he took the initiative to give up the Shadow King trial and transferred to our academy to continue his martial arts training."
Ouyang Luoluo told all the information she had investigated one by one, and concluded with affirmation at the end.
