Chapter 3764: Change
What was going on here?
Pang Feiran’s expression was filled with confusion and grievance. When have I harmed you?
Wasn’t it already agreed upon that you would kill Ling Han or capture him alive before handing him over to the Pang Clan? Why didn’t you make a move and instead act as if you were the victim?
“S-Senior Tang Hong, I don’t understand what you’re saying,” he stammered weakly.
“That person, did you see him?” Tang Hong pointed at Tang Yan.
“I saw him.” Pang Feiran nodded. He had only lost his cultivation level, and had not become blind.
Tang Hong was almost angered to death by his words, and he asked coldly, “You’re not blind yet, are you? If you’re not blind, how could it be that you can’t recognize him? Isn’t that the Little Marquis of the Tang Clan?”
What Little Marquis?
Pang Feiran had not done his research in advance, so how could he know who the so-called Little Marquis was?
“Tang Yan, the most outstanding clansman of the younger generation of Tang Clan. He has an Innate Divine Physique. After he was born, he was bestowed the title of Marquis by His Majesty, and you want me to kidnap and kill someone in front of him?” Tang Hong sneered. If he really dared to make a move, the Tang Clan would probably be destroyed by the Tang Clan tomorrow.
Pang Feiran was given a great fright. He did not know Tang Yan, but he definitely knew of the Tang Clan. That was a clan of Spiritual Transformation Tier elites, and was deeply doted on by His Imperial Majesty, so their force was astonishingly powerful.
But this was too inconceivable. He was only a hostage, so how could he possibly be together with the little Marquis of the Tang Clan?
Now, how was he going to capture Ling Han?
…
On the other side, Liu Xunyu and the others were all seated in their rooms, all of them wearing cold expressions. Aside from them, there was also Tan Zhengjie.
“Sister, that brat actually became friends with Tang Yan?” Tan Zhengjie still felt like he was in a dream, and could not believe it at all.
Han Bing had been slapped by Tang Yan, and was filled with displeasure. Seeing that Tan Zhengjie was still going to bring this up, he couldn’t help but feel angered. He shouted, “Are you retarded? Otherwise, how could we have suffered such great humiliation?”
“You—” Tan Zhengjie wanted to retort, but when he saw Liu Xunyu’s stopping gaze, he obediently shut his mouth.
“We are all a family, so there is no need for internal strife.” Liu Xunyu stretched out a hand to press down on him.
“But that brat has the protection of the Little Marquis, so how are we supposed to deal with him?” Zhao Xiao said hatefully. He was still coveting Ling Han’s secrets, and was very defiant.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him leave Jia Yuan Manor,” Liu Xunyu said confidently.
“Oh?” Zhao Xiao and the others all turned to look at her.
That was Tang Yan, the son of the Tang Clan, a proper noble Little Marquis.
Liu Xunyu now had to calm the hearts of the army, so she revealed some secrets, and said, “We indeed have no way to contend with Tang Yan, but Jia Yuan Manor is under the jurisdiction of the Clan Mansion, so no matter how long Tang Yan’s influence is, he would not be able to reach in.”
Zhao Xiao and the others all shook their heads. As long as Tang Yan was willing to be Ling Han’s guarantor, then what big deal would it be to take Ling Han out of Jia Yuan Manor? How could it be that the Clan Mansion was willing to offend Tang Yan?
“Believe me, Tang Yan will not be able to save Ling Han! No one will be able to save him!” Liu Xunyu stated calmly, but her eyes were exuding a coldness, filled with maliciousness.
…
Two days passed, and Tang Yan came again. However, this time, his expression was a little ugly, as if he was hiding an extremely great fury.
“What is it? Has the sky collapsed?” Ling Han asked smilingly.
Peng, Tang Yan slammed a hand heavily on the table, and said, “Things have changed. Initially, I had already made arrangements. In these two days, the Clan Mansion will send someone over to announce the news that you can leave Jia Yuan Manor, but today, I actually received a letter from the Clan Mansion, blabbering nonsense about dog-sh*t rules to me. In short, they have changed their minds, and have no plans to let you leave.”
Ling Han was surprised. Since Tang Yan said that everything had been arranged, with his status, he naturally would not boast. This matter was already set in stone, but now, the Clan Mansion had suddenly gone back on their word. Why was that?
There had not been any major changes in the Imperial Family, so why had it suddenly become like this?
There was definitely something fishy about this!
Liu Xunyu?
Was this possible? She was only a hostage, so what right did she have to influence the decision of the Clan Mansion, and even offend a minor lord like Tang Yan?
Strange.
“I will go and investigate this matter, but in terms of time…” Tang Yan was slightly hesitant. Looking at the present firm attitude of the Clan Mansion, the difficulty level of changing their decision was not low.
He was only a minor marquis, and was not the Emperor, so he could decide things with just a
word.
“That’s right!” Tang Yan suddenly recalled something, and clapped his hands loudly. However, he paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head, “No, no, this will
definitely not work.”
“What did you think of?” Ling Han asked.
“There’s another way. We don’t have to pass through the Clan Mansion, but the possibility is
close to zero,” Tang Yan said.
“Oh, tell me about it,” Ling Han said with a smile. As long as there was a sliver of hope, he
could give it a try.
Tang Yan pondered for a moment, before saying, “In another 20 or so days, it’ll be His Majesty’s 30,000-year-old birthday. To celebrate this, the entire nation will be celebrating. Moreover, His Majesty loves young prodigies the most, so he’ll host a tournament for each cultivation level. If you’re able to rise above the others, you might even be bestowed an official position, what more leaving the Clan Mansion.”
Ling Han didn’t care at all whether he was conferred an official title or not, but to be able to come out of Jia Yuan Manor, this was very important.
He smiled slightly, “This is not a bad idea.”
“You’re only an alchemist, so battle prowess isn’t your forte!” Tang Yan said with a shake of
his head. “I’ll consider this as a backup plan. I’ll go and ask the Clan Mansion again. Which person is opposing me? I just want to fish someone out, and they are giving me all kind of
excuses.”
“All right.” Ling Han nodded, but he had already placed his hopes on the martial arts
competition.
With his strength, how could it be that he wasn’t powerful enough to defeat Foundation Building cultivators?
En, in the entire universe, he may not even be able to rank in the top ten. After all, there were so many freakish beings in this world, but in the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire and their subordinate forces? That was naturally no big deal.
Moreover, he would only need 10 or so days to advance to the Ultimate Dao Foundation. At that time, even if he were to battle against Origin or Myriad Dao, he would still have enough confidence that he could emerge victorious.
Tang Yan left. He naturally felt that it was very unreliable to have an alchemist go and fight. Thus, he naturally still had to go to the Clan Mansion to find out who was playing tricks on him, and reverse the decision that had previously been reached.
Only a day later, Tang Yan returned again.
“The Clan Mansion has a Deputy Mansion Leader called Meng Shuchang. It was he who
suppressed the matter of you leaving the Clan Mansion.”
Ling Han was surprised, “This is the first time I’ve heard of that person’s name. It should be impossible that I have offended him.”
“It is indeed not him, but rather Liu Xunyu,” Tang Yan said.
Yi, it really was this woman?
“She has such great power?” Ling Han asked in surprise.
“Hehe.” Tang Yan showed a disdainful smile, “Meng Shuchang did not say that it was related
to Liu Xunyu. Instead, I sent someone to investigate. Old Geezer Meng thought that he had
done it covertly, but at least half of the people in the Clan Mansion know that he has an affair
with Liu Xunyu.”
So it was this kind of adulterous relationship.
