Chapter 13: The Undercurrent of Murder
Tang family, in the courtyard where Tang Jie lives, in the room, Tang Jie's father and son sit opposite each other. It's just that at this moment, both of them don't look good.
"Father, did Grandpa refuse to teach you the Tiangang Qi Technique again?" Tang Hao said with a frown. After a long period of cultivation, the injuries he had suffered had healed, making him alive again. It's just that the delay of two or three months has made no progress in his strength, and he is still at the peak of the Yuan Body Realm. Otherwise, maybe he would have broken through to the Juyuan Realm at this moment. And all of this was caused by Tang Yun. For Tang Yun, he hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do. I tried my best before, but I was not Tang Yun's opponent. Not to mention that he has now cultivated a Xuan-level martial art.
Tang Jie nodded, his face a little gloomy. All along, he had been peeking at the family's Xuan-level exercises, Tiangang Qi Technique, so that he could successfully break through the current level and become the Tang family's second battle martial arts realm powerhouse. It's just that Tang Chang rejected him again. The reason is very simple, although Tang Chang is now at the peak of the Yuan Creation Realm, his foundation is unstable, and if he forcibly breaks through, I am afraid it will bring very serious consequences. He believes that what Tang Jie should do now is to lay a solid foundation, instead of making a rash breakthrough. Obviously, Tang Jie didn't agree with what he said at all, but hated him after being rejected repeatedly.
"How can Grandpa be so partial? Father, you have made so many contributions to the family for so many years, isn't it enough to be qualified to learn the Tiangang Qi Technique?" Tang Hao was very angry and immediately shouted.
"Shut up for me. How can you question your grandfather's decision?" Tang Jie scolded in a deep voice. Although he was also quite dissatisfied in his heart, as a son of man, basic filial piety still needs to be observed.
"I know!" Tang Hao immediately shut up, silent. The reason why he was so eager was entirely because he knew that with his own efforts, it should be impossible for Tang Yun to suppress it. The only thing he can rely on now is Tang Jie. As long as his father's position in the Tang family can be stable, no matter how powerful Tang Yun is, he will not be afraid. Who made him have a good father, but Tang Yun didn't.
Tang Jie's face changed for a while. Originally, their father and son were the most valued by Tang Chang in the entire family. But now, with the appearance of Tang Yun, everything has changed. First, his son was seriously injured after being beaten, and he was bedridden for more than two months before recovering. It also makes him not trusted by the old man, if it is not good, it will threaten his position, which makes him very irritable.
"What should I do?" Tang Jie himself couldn't make up his mind. He has always considered himself the only successor to the position of head of the family, but now, it seems that there have been variables. If someone else had threatened him, I'm afraid he would have eliminated the threat a long time ago. But Tang Yun, after all, is his nephew, and in addition, he has to consider whether he can withstand the old man's anger if he moves Tang Yun. The family rules of the Tang family prohibit killing each other.
"Bang bang!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Tang Jie had to stop thinking.
A servant bowed into the room, and then said, "Uncle, the second master is here!"
"Oh, please come up. Tang Jie said. The so-called second master is his younger brother, Tang Lun, that is, Tang Ling's father. It's just that Tang Lun stayed in Tang Jie for less time, and Tang Jie didn't know why Tang Lun suddenly came to visit him.
"Haha, big brother has been doing well lately!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. Then, a tall middle-aged man walked into the hall. Behind him, followed by Ye Ling, who was short in stature and had some thief eyebrows.
"My nephew has seen my uncle!" Tang Ling stepped forward and greeted Tang Jie respectfully.
"Okay!Hao'er, don't say hello to your second uncle yet!" Tang Jie said with a smile.
"Second Uncle is good!" Tang Hao said respectfully.
"Haha, Hao'er, the injuries are all healed, right? That kid is too, and he is every severity, how can a family kill him?" Tang Lun said with a smile.
Suddenly, the corners of Tang Hao's mouth twitched unnaturally, and he was seriously injured by Tang Yun, which was a great shame for him.
"Second brother, what are you doing when you come back this time?" Tang Jie interjected.
"The main thing is to transport a batch of supplies back. In addition, the goods received during this time will be sent to Jiayang Town. Come back and see my father!" Tang Lun said. As the saying goes, the Tang family, who is backed by the mountains and the water, has got a lot of resources from the mountains, such as herbs, elixirs, and the fur of demon beasts. The Tang family has a special store in Jiayang Town that is responsible for selling these things.
Tang Jie nodded, and then asked, "Is the family's business okay?"
"Not bad. But the others have been getting us in trouble lately. Tang Lun said.
In Jiayang Town, the big family is not only the Tang family, but also two other families, namely the Wu family and the Li family. It's just that these two families are far inferior to the Tang family, and even if they join forces, they are barely tied with the Tang family.
"Hmph! It's just a clown jumping off the beam! With their father in charge, they don't dare to act rashly!" Tang Jie said disdainfully. The Tang family is a veritable king in the entire Jiayang Town. Even in the entire Qingling City, the Tang family is also a powerful family that can be ranked first.
"By the way, eldest brother, when the younger brother heard a news, he didn't know if it was true, so he came to ask the eldest brother for verification!" Tang Lun said suddenly.
"Oh, what's the news?" Ye Zhenxian asked.
"I heard that the old man taught Tang Yun the Tiangang Qi Technique, and also passed on a set of Xuan-level martial arts Fengyang Seal. Tang Jie said in a low voice.
Sure enough, Tang Jie suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was suppressed by death.
"What? How could Grandpa be so eccentric? Even my father's Tiangang Qi Technique, who was not qualified to cultivate, actually cultivated for that mongrel?" Tang Hao immediately jumped up and shouted loudly.
"Father's doing this, there should be his considerations!" Tang Jie gritted his teeth and said.
"Hehe, I think so. Big brother, our father and son have other things, so we'll go first. After the goal was achieved, Tang Lun and his son left immediately.
"Father, what should I do?" Tang Hao's face was full of indignation.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I know what to do!" Tang Jie interrupted Tang Hao's words impatiently, and turned into the study.
In the evening, it rained heavily, and the whole mountain was covered in a heavy rain. In the dark, a figure came out of Tang Jie's yard, deftly avoided the outdoors of the Tang family, and disappeared into the rain curtain.
Tang Jie stood in front of the window, watching the figure disappear, and said secretly in his heart: "Tang Yun, don't blame the uncle. ”
"Whoa!" the pouring rain kept crashing against the roof, making a crackling sound. Tang Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly cultivating. A large amount of heaven and earth vitality surrounded him, and after being tempered by the tendons and veins, it turned into vitality and stored in the dantian.
"Damn, what's going on tonight?, why can't you calm down?" Tang Yun opened his eyes, a little puzzled. In the past, it was easy for him to enter a state of selfless cultivation, which was also the reason why his cultivation could improve by leaps and bounds, and it was rare for him to appear when he was not in a state.
Since he couldn't cultivate with peace of mind, Tang Yun simply stopped cultivating. The cultivation of martial arts also needs to be relaxed, and you can't be too eager, otherwise you will likely get half the result.
Pushing open the window and looking at the heavy rain outside, Tang Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Some time ago, when he encountered such a heavy rain, he must have been raining heavily outside and a light rain inside the house. Now, after resting in the small dilapidated house, although it is not luxurious, it can at least be sheltered from the wind and rain.
At this time, in Tang Yun's courtyard, not far from him, a person covered in a black night coat was lying in the grass, watching Tang Yun's every move. The night and heavy rain gave him good cover.
The heavy rain drenched the man's whole body, and it was the feeling of wet clothes sticking to his body, which was very bad. But at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, so as not to attract Tang Yun's attention due to some unnecessary actions, which would lead to the failure of the operation.
Tang He is not from the Tang family, but a foreign surname. It's just that he was given the surname Tang because of his contributions. As one of the captains of the Tang family's guards, Tang He has the cultivation of the Juyuan Realm. Tang Chang once asserted that as long as he persevered and worked hard, he would definitely be able to break through to the Huayuan Realm before the age of fifty.
What outsiders don't know is that Tang He is actually Tang Jie's henchman. In an operation of the Tang family, after Tang Jie rescued Tang He, who was seriously injured, he regarded Tang Jie as the master, this time, Tang Jie was in trouble, and he should relieve Tang Jie's troubles. Even if this person is the grandson of the head of the Tang family.
"Boy, you can only be considered unlucky, who called you a threat to the status of the uncle. Tang Hao said secretly. He was very confident, and with the strength of the Yuan Realm, he would kill the peak of the Yuan Body Realm, and there was absolutely no possibility of failure. In his eyes, Tang Yun was already a dead man.
Standing by the window for a while, Tang Yun closed the window, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep. Naturally, I can't calm down and cultivate, so it's better to take a break. Tomorrow, I will devote myself to cultivation with a fuller spirit.
After another hour, Tang Hao thought that Tang Yun should have fallen asleep. So, he was ready to start......
