Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 292 Acting

At this time Fang Hanyu came out of the house, holding a scroll in her hand.

"Brother Tang, the portrait you asked someone to draw has arrived."

He forgot what happened just now and took the portrait and opened it to examine it. Jiang Jiusheng was a little angry when he saw a stunning woman coming.

She snatched the portrait from his hand and looked at it carefully. The girl in the purple dress next to her got curious and came closer to take a look.

"Mr. Tang, this painting is... a cat?"

Jiang Jiusheng laughed unconsciously as he looked at the portrait, "Brother Tang, this isn't the white cat you adopted earlier, is it?"

She then waved the portrait in front of the purple-dressed woman and said, "Sang Qiu, do you still remember the white cat that fell into the water because of its greed?"

After thinking for a while, Sang Qiu took out the pen and ink from the cabinet, added a few strokes to the portrait, and then threw it on a wooden wall.

The originally skinny and lifeless white cat in the portrait now became plump and full of life.

Jiang Jiusheng clapped his hands and praised, "This is a stroke of genius, it's brilliant, why don't you go and take over the painter's job, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Sang Qiu nimbly jumped to Fang Hanyu's side and looked at her carefully, "Who is she?"

Without waiting for Tang Linfeng to reply, Fang Hanyu moved a few steps to the left and said, "I am just a casual cultivator invited by Young Master Tang to perform."

He smiled and nodded. Soon it was getting dark. The streets were bustling with people coming and going. Everywhere was brightly lit and filled with the atmosphere of fireworks.

They walked out onto the deck and looked at the beautiful scenery on the shore. Suddenly, other pleasure boats on the river began to perform.

"So Brother Tang called us here to watch this kind of performance?" Jiang Jiusheng said.

"Everyone knows that you, Young Master Tang, love to travel, drink tea, and practice swordplay. Instead of enjoying the splendor and wealth of this marquisate, you choose to invite a few good friends to chat about swordplay," said Sang Qiu.

Tang Linfeng smiled and clapped his hands, and Fang Hanyu jumped into the air holding an ordinary jade fan.

The other pleasure boats that were still parading stopped to watch the performance.

As her spiritual power circulated, the river water was moved into the air, but in an instant it turned into a lot of ice flowers that fell down.

The moment the ice flowers fell into the water, they turned into countless fiery red birds, chirping and dancing around.

"This performance is indeed wonderful, but it is too monotonous." Sang Qiu stretched out his hand to take an ice flower and said.

He smiled without saying a word, staring at the beautiful picture.

The next moment, ripples appeared on the bottom of the water, and then a large whirlpool formed. Suddenly, there was a bang and the water exploded.

When people subconsciously raised their hands to cover their faces, a water-green tree emerged from the bottom of the water.

With the blessing of spiritual power, a large ice-blue tree grew from the bottom of the water to the surface of the water.

At this time, a breeze blew past the two big trees, and many flowers of different colors appeared.

The red-tailed bird was circling between the trees, bringing gusts of cool breeze as its two pairs of wings fluttered.

The petals shone with a little light and fluttered in the wind. When they fell to the ground, they turned into countless colorful and gorgeous flowers.

Suddenly, the surroundings became a sea of ​​beautiful flowers that made people intoxicated. People jumped for joy in the sea of ​​flowers, and the tired mood of the day disappeared instantly.

"This, this dreamlike scene doesn't look fake at all." Jiang Jiusheng jumped out of the pleasure boat, dancing gracefully while lightly touching the petals that fell into the water with his toes.

The people around recognized the owner of the pleasure boat and said that this great Master Tang was very approachable and had no airs.

They also said that although he did not marry Princess Yunmeng, it did not prevent him from continuing to travel freely.

As the performance was coming to an end, the two trees transformed into a circular piece of energy that shot straight into the sky.

With a bang, energy dispersed and fell on the earth like a meteor, adding a layer of bright color to the originally dark night sky.

When Fang Hanyu collected her spiritual power, she was holding a flying bird in her hand. Tang Linfeng stepped forward and took the bird.

The flying bird turned into a few lines of words that sank into the depths of his consciousness. "The plan is halfway successful. The people from the Blood Demon Sect have temporarily left."

"But don't let your guard down. They haven't given up their suspicion of us. My sister also told you to be careful of the person who secretly shoots poison arrows."

"Your Tiannan Marquis Mansion has now become their main target of attack. The people in the dark can take your life at any time."

Tang Linfeng didn't expect the Blood Demon Sect to act so quickly. He thought to himself, "That means I will die no matter what I say."

Fang Hanyu looked at him for a moment and then walked into one of the rooms in the houseboat.

"It's getting late, Sang Qiu, you guys should go back soon. We can talk about the past when we have time."

"Why are you suddenly sad? Let's go." Jiang Jiusheng grabbed Sang Qiu's wrist and waved at him.

Mu Huayan and Xin Ce Wen Qi left the shore just now, but she never saw anyone from Eunuch Qu Shi come out.

Bai Yu and Tang Xuanze came to Yueyou City blatantly. Tang Xuanze brought Bai Yu to the vicinity of Tiannan Marquis Mansion.

The two did not notice anything unusual along the way. On the second day, they walked out of an inn.

As soon as Tang Xuanze went out, the people around him recognized him as the young master of the Marquis's Mansion.

He chatted enthusiastically with the people, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to get some information.

"You don't know, the Marquis has been sending people to look for your whereabouts these days."

One of the ladies was carrying a basket and she smiled and stuffed a few fruits into his arms. "Where have you been, kid? I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss you."

"If you don't come back, the Marquis will be mad. Go home and take a look."

People's faces were filled with happy smiles, and it seemed that nothing terrible had happened.

When he was about to step into the gate of Tiannan Marquis Mansion, the housekeeper in the inner room came out, shook his hand excitedly and said, "My little master, you are finally back. The master is so angry."

He briefly spoke to the housekeeper and then walked into the house with a smile on his face, "Dad, Dad, I'm back."

His father was chatting with someone in the house. Tang Qian, who was originally smiling, suddenly became serious when he saw his rebellious son who was away from home every day.

Tang Qian pointed at him with a trembling finger and started to curse, "Tang Xuanze, you still have the nerve to come back! Which brothel or pleasure boat have you been fooling around in?"

"Dad, Dad, I was just hanging out with people. How could I do anything so dirty?"

Tang Qian was happy to see him back, at least he was still alive and standing in front of him.

He sighed helplessly but also felt relieved. Suddenly he looked around for something, "Where's your brother?"

Tang Xuanze showed a puzzled expression and then smiled: "Dad, my elder brother's whereabouts are always unpredictable. How can I know his whereabouts?"

"By the way, Dad, I brought a friend back."

He briefly introduced Bai Yu to his father.

"Did you meet in a pleasure boat? You spend your days wandering around in the pleasure boat and neglecting your family, and you even bring a man back with you. How can that be considered decent?"

He was so angry that his veins popped out and he almost slapped him in the face.

"Dad, you, you shouldn't be like this, I, I just brought back a good friend."

"You, you really want to piss me off to the point of breaking my old bones?" After saying that, Tang Qian shook his sleeves fiercely and sat on the chair with a worried look on his face.

At this time, the friend who was originally sitting on the chair and talking with him left in advance, and left a message saying that they would meet again on another day and would not disturb him anymore;

Seeing that they were arguing to no avail, the housekeeper came over to smooth things over and waved his hand for Tang Xuanze to take his men and leave quickly.

After Bai Yu and his companions spent two months figuring out the layout and personnel of the mansion, they explored the surrounding area and found nothing unusual.

When the two were about to pass the news to Mu Huayan, there was movement. It was Eunuch Qu Shi who came with his men and held an imperial edict in his hand.

Tang Xuanze and the other man looked at each other and said, "As Sister Mu said, Qu will eventually reveal his true colors."

"No, there's no movement from the little fox, and senior sister hasn't sent any message." Bai Yu stretched out his hand to stop Tang Xuanze who was about to leave.

The housekeeper hurried out of the hall to greet him, "My humble servant greets Eunuch Qushi. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Eunuch Qu Shi glanced at him disdainfully, "Why? Why didn't your Lordship come out to greet you?"

"This is a matter that could cost your life, so don't be careless!"

"Yes, yes, I will go into the house to look for my Lord. Please go into the hall first and take a seat to rest for a while, Eunuch Qushi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qian walked slowly from the corridor of the side hall with a cane.

The sound of the cane was harsh and dull, and he could be heard shouting hoarsely from a distance: "Tang Qian greets the eunuch. Please forgive me for my illness and inconvenience in kneeling down to receive your order."

"Why haven't we heard that the Marquis had a back injury?"

Tang Qian patted his face and pointed outside, "How dare I spread such a shameful thing?"

However, Eunuch Qushi showed a trace of confusion on his face, thinking to himself, after all, he is a cultivator, why can he be injured so easily?

"My Lord had a fight with the young master a few days ago and was accidentally injured."

The sharp-eyed butler quickly tried to smooth things over.

So Qu Shi did not ask any more questions but read the contents of the imperial edict to them.

The general meaning is to tell him to cancel the marriage with Princess Yunmeng, but the crime should not involve his family, and Yunmeng is not wanted.

Instead, she retained her original status as a princess, but she had to be confined to the princess's mansion for one year.
