Chapter Eighty-Three: Farewell in Azure Garment
PS: Cheer! Vote! Vote!
Tang Qing's body has now opened the Ren and Du meridians, his cultivation has entered the pre-heavenly stage. However, if he wants to enter the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and then enter the Five Elements Returning to the Origin, the true energy in his dantian is still not enough. Of course, true energy is not a big deal for him, at most he can swallow the sky and earth and absorb several hundred years of cultivation. He knows that it's difficult to shake the body of the earth, so he plans to borrow the power of the Xuanming crystal to directly penetrate the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, leap over the Five Elements Returning to the Origin, and with one effort, enter the realm of energy.
He learned from Liu Piao that the Wei family had a crystal of dark energy, so Tang Jing was thinking of going to the Wei family tomorrow to get his hands on it first. As for how he would do it, he'd figure it out later.
Tang Qing yawned and stretched, originally planning to go back to the house to sleep. Suddenly, he thought of Shangguan Qixue and wondered if she had made any progress in her closed-door meditation over the past few days. After some thought, he decided to take a look, but he also knew that he shouldn't disturb her during this time. So, after entering Shangguan Qixue's courtyard, he didn't enter the house, instead, he carefully sent out a wisp of divine sense to probe and investigate.
Inside the quiet room, Shangguan Qiyue was wearing a white undergarment, sitting cross-legged. Her face seemed somewhat pale, her eyes slightly closed, and her slender hands were placed on her knees in a strange gesture. Tang Jing had originally planned to invade her body with his divine consciousness, but suddenly noticed that the pendant around Shangguan Qiyue's neck was somewhat unusual.
"This thing is actually a pretty good protective treasure."
Since Shangguan Qixue had a protective treasure to defend herself, Tang Qing didn't continue. After all, she was in closed-door cultivation, and if he disturbed her, it would make her injuries even more severe. He shook his head, thought for a moment, and decided to give up. When Liu Piaopiao found the Golden Sun Law Ink, he quickly set up a Holy Light Jade Lotus Array to help her recover as soon as possible. This way, he could get rid of his guilty conscience and leave with peace of mind.
He let out another yawn and Tang Qing felt drowsiness creeping in, unable to hold on any longer. He returned to the courtyard and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
Summer night, gentle breeze.
At this moment, a girl is standing outside, looking at the Qingyu Gate with only a few lights left. The girl is wearing a green dress and a long skirt, her hair hanging down to her shoulders. Although she doesn't look stunningly beautiful, she is still a slender and elegant young woman. The girl is none other than Biyi. She seems to be waiting for someone, occasionally glancing inside.
Before long, a young man emerged from the Qingyu Gate. He was quite robust and sturdy in build, wearing a sleeveless long gown that exposed his two thick arms. It seemed as if he had just woken up, with disheveled hair and a sash tied hastily around his waist. He looked around everywhere, muttering to himself.
"Who's disturbing me in the middle of the night?"
The whole Qingyu Gate, only Tian Jinguang called himself a sloppy family. However, the complexion of this guy now doesn't look very good. Indeed, he was sleeping well and having a beautiful dream, but was woken up by his junior brother on duty, saying that someone outside was looking for him. This made Tian Jinguang extremely depressed. His eyes scanned back and forth, and soon discovered a green-clothed girl in a Luo skirt not far away. Seeing the girl, Tian Jinguang suddenly froze, exclaiming, "Hey, isn't this Biyi Shimei? What are you doing here?"
"Brother Tian, I'm looking for you."
"Are you looking for me? What's going on at this late hour?" Tian Jinguang scratched his hair, glanced at the horse carriage not far away, and then turned to look at Biyi, saying, "Bi Yi Shimei, it's been several days since I've seen you. What brings you here?" In Tian Jinguang's impression, Biyi had disappeared in recent days, and the entire Qingyu Gate hadn't even seen her shadow.
Tian Jingang looked around and saw that it was pitch black everywhere, so he said, "It's the middle of the night, let's go in and talk about it later."
"No... it's nothing." Bi Yi lowered her head, her voice very soft, saying, "I came to bid you farewell."
"Goodbye?" Tian Jinguang raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat unexpectedly, "Where are you going?"
"I... may have to leave Yongyan City."
Tian Jinguang found something was not quite right, and as he walked over, he saw that Biyi's eyes were slightly red, clearly having cried. This made him even more puzzled, "Did you encounter something unpleasant?"
"No!" Bi Yi raised her head, a pair of slightly reddened eyes looking at Tang Qing, softly saying, "Trouble you to tell Tang Qing, nice to meet him, goodbye." After that, she didn't stay and turned around to run outside.
What's going on here!
Tian Jing was somewhat stunned, Bi Yi had disappeared for a few days and returned only to want to leave Yong Yang City. Thinking about it, he quickly caught up with her, stopped her and asked, "Bi Yi Shimei, has someone bullied you? Tell me, I'll help you out."
"No one... " Bi Yi forced a smile and said, "No one bullied me, I just... just want to leave this place, Yong City."
"What's going on? Why are you leaving? Are you not planning to cultivate anymore?"
Tian Jinguang asked out all the doubts in his heart in one breath, but Biyi didn't say anything, she just slightly shook her head.
"Say goodbye to Tang Jing for me."
As soon as the words fell, Biyi left directly, leaving Tian Jinguang with a bewildered and puzzled face. He looked at Biyi's departing figure with some suspicion, feeling inexplicable. He wanted to chase after her, but when he saw Biyi enter that horse carriage, she quickly left.
"What's wrong with this woman? Why can't she just speak clearly for once?!"
Tian Jingang scratched his head and didn't think much about it, then returned to Qingyu Gate.
……
The next morning, the sun had just risen.
On a rural path, two men rode two fine horses at a leisurely pace. The man on the left wore a deep gray long gown with an open chest, and as he galloped, his body swayed back and forth. He was eating crimson-colored nuts in a careless manner. This guy had a full beard, although he looked a bit rough, but if you looked closely, he was actually quite handsome. It seemed that without the beard, he should be a refined and elegant scholar. He touched his beard, seemingly not very used to it, and said, "I say, why don't you little rascal get something good? This thing is stuck on pretty uncomfortably."
Next to him was another man riding a fine horse, who looked even more bizarre in appearance, with not only a mustache but also a long beard hanging from his chin that was at least half a foot long. He responded, "Boss Tang, this is already the best quality, I think it's quite majestic!" As he spoke, he straightened up, stroked the long beard on his chin, glared with wide eyes and made a series of "ya ya ya" noises. "Look at me, am I not very majestic?"
These two were Tang Qing and Tian Jingang. When they heard that Tang Qing was going to the Wei family, Tian Jingang insisted on following him, and Tang Qing agreed, happy to have a companion. However, when he heard that Tang Qing wanted to get the true heirloom of the Wei family, the Cangyun Crystal, Tian Jingang thought that Tang Qing's current reputation was too great, and it would be troublesome if they were recognized. Tang Qing thought about it and also felt that there was some reason in this, so the two slightly disguised themselves.
"By the way, Mr. Tang, how are you planning to deal with that piece of Charcoal Crystal from the Wei family?"
Since witnessing Tang Jing's mysterious, eerie and terrifying strength, Tian Jinguang has admired him to the point of directly addressing him as "Big Brother".
"What's going on here!" Tang Qing stroked his full beard, the more he touched it, the more uncomfortable he felt. "Let's talk about it later, first ask if they sell or not, if they don't sell, then we'll see."
"However, Old Tang! The Wei family is the number one family in our Yong City, they have connections with both the underworld and the officialdom, they're really powerful."
When it comes to the Wei family, within the city of Yongyang, they are a household name. The family's industries almost cover half of the city, and within the family, there are many skilled individuals. The current head of the family, Wei Bo, has been cultivating for nearly 200 years and is a master of the Five Elements. His son, Wei Fengtian, is one of the top three geniuses in Yongyang City, and it's said that his cultivation is also impressive, having already entered the Three Flowers Gathering stage. In addition to this, there are over ten seniors in the family who have reached the Pre-Heavenly stage, not to mention those in the Post-Heavenly stage, which are numerous. This kind of powerful strength surpasses even the three major cultivation sects in Yongyang City.
Throughout the entire Yong City, whether it was the master of the Half Moon Gate or the Seven Star Gate, even the city master, and even Tian Jinguang's father, the leader of the Lei Huo Gang, would be extremely polite when meeting the master of the Wei family. There was no choice, after all, they were very powerful, and being impolite was not an option. Moreover, it was said that the old man of the Wei family was a senior elder of the Wuji Sect, so who dared to offend him?
It's precisely because there are people backing them up that the Wei family can be said to have everything they want in Yongzhou City, not only do their businesses cover half of the city, but secretly they also engage in arson, murder and robbery, occupying a large number of rich resources over the years.
