Chapter 119

  That evening, Tang Yin once again visited Fan's family's Xiangchun Pavilion Tea House with the two Shangguan brothers.

  There were not many guests in the teahouse, scattered and sparse. Tang Yin sat down in the most inconspicuous corner, ordered a pot of flower tea from the shop boy, and watched the play while drinking. The two brothers, Shangguan, had no interest in either tea or drama, with four eyes rolling around, sizing up the tea guests in the store.

  Today's play is a repeat of the previous two days, Tang Yin only watched for a while before losing interest, after drinking half a pot of tea, he was about to leave when Shangguan Yuanwu whispered in his ear: "Sir, there is a Lingwu master in the store!"

  "Oh?" Tang Yin was about to get up and leave, but upon hearing this, his body, which was originally going to stand up straight, sat back down again. Not many people could be called masters by the Upper Official brothers, and yet such a person would appear in Pingyuan County, making him very curious. He asked: "How many people are on the other side, and how high is their cultivation?"

  Shangguan brothers are practitioners of the Bright System, and their insight into the spiritual martial arts is already well-honed. Although Insight isn't an attacking skill, it's particularly practical, able to distinguish between ordinary people and cultivators, and can even probe a cultivator's level of cultivation. The two of them were Tang Ye's

  Hushuo and Hua, in public places, both had already gotten used to first observing carefully, to see if there were any hidden crises.

  This time, the two people's carefulness paid off and they indeed discovered the existence of a cultivator.

  "There should be five people, all of whom are at the level of Hua Jing or above."

  "Oh?" Tang Yin took a deep breath. Cultivators who could reach the Spiritualization Realm were not common, and suddenly five of them appeared at once; things were probably not simple. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked: "Is their target me?"

  Shangguan Yuanwu shook his head and said, "It can't be seen now."

  Tang Yin said: "Which five people? Point them out to me."

  "Your Honor, the man in blue clothes to your left front, the one wearing a bamboo hat and drinking tea with his head down in front of you, and the three people at the second table from the right."

  As soon as Shangguan Yuanwu finished speaking, Tang Yin left. If one were to look at their appearance alone, these five people didn't seem any different from ordinary civilians. Moreover, Tang Yin couldn't sense any killing intent from them. His innate intuition, which was almost animal-like, had always been sharp, and he could detect it 100%.

  It's certain that these five people didn't come for him.

  Could it be that they, like themselves, came to the tea house just to watch the show? Tang Yin shook his head and smiled. He asked again: "Only these five people?"

  "Yes! As for other soul repairers, they are in the background, that should be Fan Min's followers."

  The Fan family was a wealthy merchant household, and it was normal for them to have spiritual cultivators as bodyguards. Tang Yin didn't ask any more questions and continued drinking tea.

  A pot of flower tea had been drunk, and seeing that the five men still showed no intention of leaving, Tang Yin raised his hand to call over the shop assistant and ordered another pot of tea.

  Just as he was waiting for the tea to arrive, a familiar scent suddenly wafted in, and at the same time, Tang Yin also sensed that the tea house had become a place of murder.

  He secretly took a surprise, raised his head to take a look, and saw Fan Min carrying a pot of tea water walking towards him. In addition, the five cultivators with deep cultivation were all staring at Fan Min with their eyes.

  Oh! At this time, Tang Yin finally figured it out. These five people were not after him, but after Fan Min. Of course, this was not surprising. The Fan family was rich and powerful, with a wealth that rivaled the country's. There must be many who had ideas about the Fan family, and these five people were probably among them.

  At this point, Tang Yin sneered and smiled. He wanted to see how Zhang Yang's arrogant Fan Min would deal with these people.

  Fan Min was not aware of the crisis, nor did she know what Tang Yan was thinking in his heart. Seeing him smiling at her happily, her jade face turned slightly red, and she walked to Tang Yan's table, gently putting down the teapot in her hand, saying: "Isn't Tang official busy with official duties? Why is he

  "You have nothing better to do than come here and drink tea with me?"

  She had wanted to ask this question for a long time and today she finally couldn't help it, taking the opportunity of serving tea to ask Tang Yin.

  "Trouble Miss Fan to personally deliver the tea, I'm really sorry!" Tang Yin smiled and said: "Busy as it is, but no matter what, you have to take some time to relax, right?" As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Fan Min, seeing that she was calm and composed, not seeming to realize the danger.

  His face was filled with a deeper smile of schadenfreude.

  He had no good feelings towards Fan Min, nor did he intend to lend a helping hand. He just wanted to sit here and watch the show. Moreover, among Fan Min's entourage, there were also many powerful spiritual warriors with deep cultivation.

  Without waiting for Tang Yan to yield, Fan Min had already sat down with a big smile and asked: "Sir, what do you think of this teahouse?"

  "Alright!" Tang Yin replied casually.

  Fan Wei smiled slightly and said: "Now there are many foreign merchants in Heng City, I plan to open two more wine towers and three inns in the city. The place has already been bought, just waiting for the interior decoration to be completed, it will be opened for business. I hope that when the time comes, your lordship can come and give us a boost!"

  Tang Yin smiled and didn't say much. Rich people are just like that, they open wine houses and inns with two or three rooms, ordinary folks don't even dare to think about it.

  Fan Min said with a smile: "In addition, I also plan to open several pawnshops and shops in the city. Outside the city, I will open two dyeing workshops and weaving workshops. If business is good, I can also consider opening a silver shop in Heng City." Seeing Tang Yin's smile slowly turn into a dry smile, she shrugged and said:

  "With the support of our family, we can make the prosperity of Heng City and even the entire Pingyuan County reach new heights!"

  Tang Yin nodded and replied, "Yes!" Although he was unwilling to admit it, the fact was indeed so. However, Fan Min's condescending attitude made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it.

  Tea is good tea, but with Fan Min by his side, Tang Yin immediately felt that the tea had become dull and tasteless.

  Lost interest in continuing to sit, and it was already late at night. The teahouse was about to close soon. Tang Yin took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table. As he stood up, he said to Fan Min: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the mansion!"

  "Why don't you sit for a while since the master is not here?" Fan Min's hypocritical and insincere invitation.

  "No way!" He could have sat for a while longer, but seeing her, Tang Yin's interest was gone. As he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and slowed down his pace, saying to Fan Min who was sending him out: "Miss Fan Min, I have to remind you that a big tree attracts wind, and having too much money will inevitably attract trouble."

  That's a good thing, but bad things might also come knocking on your door, you'd better be careful!

  Feeling that Tang Yin was not superior to himself in speech, he began to curse and swear. Fan Mian didn't take his words to heart at all, and chuckled, saying: "Good people have their own destiny! However, I still thank the gentleman for 'kindly' reminding me. The night road is very dark, and the gentleman

  Be careful on the road."

  He lazily engaged in a war of words with her, but Tang Yin just snorted and walked away with big strides.

  On the way back to the mansion, Shangguan Yuanwu asked cautiously: "Sir, shouldn't we take a look at what will happen next?"

  Tang Yin shrugged and said: "Isn't Fan Min saying that good people have their own destiny?"

  "What if something unexpected really happens to her?"

  "That has nothing to do with us." "But didn't the master say that the Fan family is very important to us? Now, all of Fan's business in Pingyuan County is clearly managed by Fan Min. If something happens to her, it would be very unfavorable for us!"

  Tang Yin turned his head strangely and looked at Shangguan Yuanwu with a suspicious expression: "Yuanwu, why are you talking so much today?"

  Shangguan Yuanwu hastily lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your subordinate is just discussing the matter at hand."

  Tang Yin ignored him and continued walking forward for a while before suddenly stopping in his tracks, staring straight at Shangguan Yuanwu with an intense gaze.

  Shangguan Yuanwu thought Tang Yin was blaming him for talking too much, so he hastily said: "Sir, it's subordinate's fault for speaking out of turn. I won't do it again next time!"

  Tang Yin waved his hand, withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, muttering: "What you said makes sense too."

  If Fan Minzhen had an accident on his own turf, the Fan family's business in Pingyuan County would definitely come to an end, and it might even be withdrawn altogether, which would indeed be detrimental to the development of Pingyuan County.

  Although I dislike Fan Min, her identity is actually very important, it's really a headache. Tang Yin sighed and shook his head, saying to the two Shangguan brothers: "Let's go back!"

  "Where are you going? The county government?"

  "Back to the teahouse!" Tang Yin responded gruffly and strode away in large steps.

  The two brothers looked at each other and burst out laughing simultaneously.

  When Tang Yin and Shangguan brothers returned, the tea house had already started to close, and the shop boys were politely asking the remaining guests in the tea house to leave.

  Seeing this, Tang Yin and Shangguan brothers did not go in, but instead walked into the small alley opposite the teahouse, quietly observing the changes.

  They pretended to be normal, ordinary tea guests wouldn't bother them, most of the time they didn't even need to ask and would leave on their own, but those five cultivators just sat in their chairs without moving.

  At this time, the large teahouse was left with only those five cultivators and the shopkeeper busy collecting tables, chairs, and miscellaneous items.

  Before they had gone a few steps, an older shop boy hurried over with a smile and said: "Gentlemen, our humble shop is closing now!"

  Those five people seemed as if they hadn't heard him speak, sitting in their chairs without moving, not even batting an eyelid.

  Thinking they hadn't heard, the shopkeeper raised his voice and repeated himself, but the five men remained unmoved, calmly sipping their tea as if nothing was happening.

  The clay Bodhisattva still had three points of earthly nature. When he encountered such an unreasonable guest, the shopkeeper's anger also ignited, and he asked in a bad tone: "Are your ears deaf? Didn't you hear that we are going to pretend?"

  Five people, still no one responded, nor did anyone give him a second glance, as if the shopkeeper standing in front of them was like air.

  "Damn it! The shopkeeper was really anxious at this time, stretched out his hand to grab the shoulder of one of them, and scolded: "What are you pretending to be deaf?""

  His hand had just touched the man's shoulder, and the latter's body suddenly shook violently, instantly popping open the shopkeeper's hand. Then, his arm swung outward in a smooth motion, neither biased nor straight, just sweeping across the shopkeeper's waist.

  The latter had not reacted yet, only feeling that his body was like being hit by a speeding carriage, and the whole person flew out straight.
