Chapter 52: Tang Yuan's Confidential Intelligence

  "Even if that's the case, haven't you done your best for this matter? Considering you've acknowledged your mistake and helped with the investigation, I believe Old Master won't be so harsh on you anymore. Besides, as long as you insist, Qin Hu might have a major suspicion. With Old Master's current anxious state of mind, he'll definitely take action to clarify things. Once he does, it will be a swift and decisive move. At that time, whether or not Qin Hu did it won't matter, and your Tang family can still gain a reputation for being heroes who rid the people of evil. Why wouldn't you do it?"

  Continue tempting...

  "What you said is right, my grandfather really attaches great importance to that thing, just knowing a little bit about it will probably set off a big commotion! Tang Yuan thought for a moment: "However, this matter still needs a foolproof follow-up plan, otherwise my days will still be very difficult. En... good! Let's do it!"

  The more he thought about it, the more brilliant he felt this plan was. Tang Yuan couldn't wait any longer: "Third Young Master, why don't I have them send you to Yihong Tower to calm down for a bit? I need to rush back home and report to Old Master right away. Otherwise, if Old Master finds out that after discovering such news, I still went to visit the brothel before reporting back to him, I'll definitely be in even bigger trouble."

  "It's indeed a matter of urgency, you focus on your own business, brother has something to attend to, and I don't have the mood to fool around. Just play it cool for now." Jun Xie smiled: "Tang Baozi, congratulations, you'll be regaining your freedom soon."

  Tang Yuan laughed with a wide smile like Maitreya Buddha: "Thanks to you, brother, for pointing it out."

  He declined Tang Yuan's offer to escort him back to the mansion, and Jun Xie immediately got off the carriage. The two of them parted ways, and as he watched Tang Bao's carriage roll away into the distance, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  If it's really Tang's family who made the move, what should I do next? The Xuan Dan is in my hands, but I don't know how to use it. How can this problem be solved?

  Shouldn't we spread the news of this matter extensively to attract a few more top-notch experts to Tianxiang City? The world is vast, and talented people emerge one after another. There will always be someone who knows about it, right? However, this matter still needs to be kept from Grandfather and Third Uncle. If they find out, with Grandfather's straightforwardness and Third Uncle's integrity, what if they suggest returning the Tang family's gift? Or maybe they'll accidentally let something slip, which would be a big trouble. It's better to wait until the time is right, then quietly give the Xuan Dan to Third Uncle or Grandfather, and explain afterwards... Ah, that way, everyone will surely make a fortune without saying a word!

  You are now opening the heavenly creation of the divine and extraordinary work, and secondly, it is a completely different method from the cultivation of the mysterious energy of this world. You don't think that the elixir of the heavens, which is the dream of the world's most mysterious people, will have any effect on yourself, and in fact, that is indeed the case.

  However, in this world, the Xuan Dan is useless for Jun Wicked's cultivation of the Creation Technique, but there are still things that can assist him in his cultivation. It's just that this rookie doesn't know yet...

  There is also tomorrow's Golden Autumn Talents Banquet, whether to go or not?

  All the way thinking, also do not know how far to walk, just made up my mind. Turned back, touched the flying knife in his arms, Jun Xie sighed, since the last time he took action, Jun Xie knew that his own earth method child-made flying knife had little effect on this world's high-level mystics. The former was only killing a silver mystic master, and the flying knife was slightly damaged! What about gold mystic, jade mystic level masters? Thinking of this, Jun Xie inexplicably broke out in cold sweat. The only thing that can be seen is that this iron-quality flying knife will not have much effect on those super masters! At least it won't achieve the ideal effect of one hit kill.

  So, Jun Xie should first create a few defensive weapons for himself before his own strength truly becomes powerful. At the very least, with his current power, he can release dark weapons that can break through Yu Xuan's protective aura, which is already the lowest standard in Jun Xie's heart! But to reach this standard, ordinary iron is definitely not enough.

  Jun Xie walked with his head down, heading towards the "Divine Arms Spectrum" store. He wanted to find the best materials for crafting flying knives, and in the entire Tianxiang City, it was likely that only this "Divine Arms Spectrum" would have them. In Jun Xie's mind, the most ideal material was Xuan Iron or Han Iron, either one would do, but if he really couldn't find any, then he could only use refined steel as a last resort.

  After parting with Jun Xie, Tang Yuan returned home in high spirits and immediately asked to see Old Master Tang.

  Old Master Tang was extremely annoyed these days, his treasured top-grade Xuan Dan had been stolen and there was no news about it. This made the already hot-tempered old man even more furious. He was thinking of Tang Yuan in his heart, if it wasn't for this good-for-nothing young master who was a spendthrift and went out to gamble and fool around, how would so many things have happened? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wanted someone to immediately summon Tang Yuan over, first give him a good beating before talking.

  Just as he was about to shout for someone, a servant suddenly came in to report that the young master had requested an audience. He was taken aback: Not to mention this critical juncture, but even on ordinary days it's rare to see this guy, and now he's actually daring to come looking for him of his own accord - could he have been scolded out of his mind? "Let him come in at once!" After a moment's thought, he added: "Bring the iron abacus here!"

  As soon as Tang Yuan entered the door, he saw that huge iron abacus lying in front of him, and his face suddenly turned into a bitter melon color.

  "What's going on again?" Old Master Tang was furious! He asked, at the same time nodding his chin towards the iron abacus, indicating that Tang Yuan should kneel down before speaking. He knew very well about his own grandson's temperament, and if it wasn't for something that couldn't be solved, he wouldn't dare disturb him!

  Tang Yuan's face turned bitter, and he knelt down dejectedly, his belly thudding against the ground with a crisp sound.

  "What's wrong?" Old Master Tang looked at his grandson's belly hanging down to the ground, and his anger was even more intense: "Can't you lose some weight?! Do you really think you're a pig?!"

  Tang Yuan Xing returned with a flourish, but unexpectedly received such treatment. He suddenly hung his head in despair and looked at his belly, muttering: "I didn't want to be so fat either... These past few days, you've all been teaching me a lesson, I couldn't even eat, just drinking water, yet I'm still gaining weight..."

  "Hurry up and say your piece!" Old Master Tang said with a mix of anger and amusement. "Don't drag this nonsense out, have you gotten into trouble again?"

  "Grandfather, I..." Tang Yuan suddenly became excited, thinking that he was about to get rid of this painful life according to Jun Mo Xie's words, and couldn't help but jump up, ignoring the old man's face which was about to become angry: "Grandfather, I may have found a clue to our family's lost Xuan Dan."

  "Ah?!" Old Master Tang was about to get angry and make the young man kneel again, but upon hearing this, he suddenly became spirited and his eyes lit up. He didn't mind anymore: "Quickly speak, what's the clue."

  "Ever since the Xuan Dan was stolen, Sun Er has been worried day and night, blaming himself endlessly. For these past few days, he has exhausted his mind and body, pouring out his heart's blood, thinking deeply and carefully...". Tang Yuan's expression was sincere, with a painful look of remorse and determination to reform and start anew.

  "Halt! Halt!" Old Master Tang's head swelled with anger: "Are you going to kneel on that thing before you'll speak seriously? Be quick about it!" He pointed at the abacus.

  He was startled: "...Today, I went out to find clues, but at the Drunken Immortal Building, I met Qin Hu, the son of the Northern City Gang leader Qin Hu... Qin Xiao Bao was bullying good people, and my grandson couldn't help but feel indignant. Following your teachings, I couldn't bear to see such a despicable thing! So, with a heroic heart and a swift foot, I took action to rescue the weak; when I saw injustice, I drew my sword to assist... Ah, not long after, Qin Hu actually dared to bring people to find trouble, truly unaware of his own death! When he found out it was me, he looked extremely flustered;" Tang Pangzi's boasting was indeed extraordinary, with each sentence a perfect phrase.

  "Nonsense! What is Qin Hu worth? He's messed with the Tang family, how can he not be panicked?! Is this what you call a clue?!" Old Master Tang scoffed, what kind of crap clue is this? I actually had hope in that bastard's words, I'm really... Listening to his boasting, Old Master Tang's head was as big as a bucket, with a black face.

  "Grandfather, if Qin Hu had been nervous from the start, it would have been reasonable. But at first, he didn't seem flustered at all. However, when I mentioned the theft at home, Qin Hu's face suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost."

  Tang Yuan's eyes narrowed as he carefully analyzed the situation: "From the outside, it seems like my family's gold, silver, and jewels were stolen, and they're chasing the thief just to save face. But logically speaking, this has nothing to do with Qin Hu at all. So why was he so shocked? I think there must be more to this than meets the eye! Maybe that bastard did it!"
