Chapter 459: Visit The Fu Clan

After some consideration, Xuanyuan Yueyao decided to go with Tang Xiao and Situ Lingxi to the Fu Clan to meet Fu Meiyu.

Shortly after they left, Mu Qingge saw the fake Shangguan Qingyue walking into the core disciple courtyard, accompanied by Shui Lian, who was also a core disciple of the Nine Profound Sect.

Mu Qingge wasn’t surprised to see the fake Shangguan Qingyue’s calm expression when she looked at her, but she raised an eyebrow when she noticed the complication in Shui Lian’s eyes. A guess crossed her mind; she was sure that the woman was related to Shangguan Qingyin.

Just as Mu Qingge was thinking about the young woman’s identity, the fake Shangguan Qingyue sent her a voice transmission and told her that Shui Lian was indeed Shangguan Qingyin’s spy, whom she had deliberately planted in the sect.

When Shui Lian walked towards her, Mu Qingge immediately turned around and entered her bamboo house. ’Why did that woman suddenly turn cold and aloof? She wasn’t like that when she talked with Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi earlier.’

"Mu Qingge is indeed like that." Shui Lian turned to the fake Shangguan Qingyue. "When our group was in the forest, she was also cold to me, but she was friendly to Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan."

Shui Lian looked at her. "Is your relationship with her not good?"

"Not really." The fake Shangguan Qingyue denied it with a light shake of her head. "Our relationship isn’t good, but it’s not bad either, and we work well together when facing those beasts. If you want to approach her, you must use a gentle method. If you seem pushy, she will keep her distance from you."

Shui Lian nodded in understanding. "Let’s take things slowly."

"I’m going back to my bamboo house now." The fake Shangguan Qingyue briskly walked away.

Shui Lian felt something odd about the fake Shangguan Qingyue, but she couldn’t pinpoint it.

As they walked in the city, people hurried to make way for Tang Xiao. They didn’t know him, but they knew Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi.

They could see that both women were very close to Tang Xiao, especially Situ Lingxi, who was affectionately hugging his left arm.

However, Situ Lingxi and Tang Xiao’s relationship raised many questions in their minds because she was Sun Weitian’s fiancée, yet she acted so intimately with another man.

Many of them had already heard about the cancellation of the wedding plans between Xuanyuan Yueyao and Song Tianzun, but now she was walking beside another man, laughing cheerfully.

Although they were curious about Tang Xiao’s relationship with the two women, none of them dared to gossip about them. After all, Situ Lingxi was Queen Situ Lingshan’s beloved niece, and Xuanyuan Yueyao was Emperor Xuanyuan’s beloved niece.

In the distance, several people from the Shangguan Clan were monitoring the movements of Tang Xiao and the two women. They were doing so under Shangguan Qingyin’s orders.

"Are you aware that several people are following us?"

Tang Xiao nodded to Xuanyuan Yueyao. "They are people from the Shangguan Clan."

"Hmm?" Situ Lingxi frowned. "What does Shangguan Qingyin really want from us?"

"Hehe," Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed softly. "Shangguan Qingyin definitely has a spy within the sect, and that person has already reported your relationship with Tang Xiao to her. That’s why she sent those people to confirm it, and she will probably devise other plans against the two of you."

Situ Lingxi glanced at those people. "What do you think she plans to do to us?"

"She won’t do anything to us." Tang Xiao’s gaze turned sharp. "She will probably use other methods to trouble us, and one of them is the Sun Clan."

"The Sun Clan?" Situ Lingxi turned gloomy.

Tang Xiao nodded. "You were the late Sun Weitian’s former fiancée, and you went to my side after he died. If my guess is correct, Shangguan Qingyin might use the Sun Clan to do something against us, but that’s not a big deal, and I will prepare other plans to counter her plan."

"What are you going to do?" Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao asked at the same time.

Tang Xiao smirked. "Let’s watch and wait for Shangguan Qingyin’s next plan."

Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao exchanged glances; they were certain that Tang Xiao had already prepared some plans against Shangguan Qingyin and the Shangguan Clan.

Tang Xiao secretly contacted Shangguan Guyuan; he ordered the old man to do something. However, Mu Qingge suddenly contacted him and told him about Shui Lian, causing him to frown.

’Heh! Shangguan Qingyin is so eager, huh?’ Tang Xiao contacted the fake Shangguan Qingyue, and he ordered her to do something about Shui Lian. He planned to use her to infiltrate Shangguan Qingyin’s inner circle. ’Since you act like that, I’ll play along with your game, and don’t blame me if I act against you.’

Before long, they arrived at the Fu Clan, and the gatekeeper hurriedly led them to the main hall. He didn’t know Tang Xiao, but he knew Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao, so he didn’t dare delay.

When they arrived at the main hall, Fu Meiyu was already waiting for them, but Xuanyuan Yueyao’s presence shocked her. A few days ago, Huangfu Lingxuan had told her about Tang Xiao and Situ Ling’s relationship, but she still found it hard to believe; yet he suddenly visited her clan with the two women.

"Welcome to my Fu Clan residence, Young Miss Xuanyuan and Young Miss Situ." Even though she was much more senior than the two women, Fu Meiyu didn’t dare put on airs in front of them because their status was much higher than hers. "Yong Master Tang, I’ve heard about you from Old Huangfu, and I can finally meet you in person."

Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi only nodded smilingly at Fu Meiyu, but the two women didn’t think much of her.

"You don’t need to address me like that, Senior," Tang Xiao replied casually. "By the way, Old Huangfu must have told you about the reason for my arrival, right?"

Fu Meiyu nodded slightly. "Old Huangfu has already told me some things, but I want to talk to you about that matter."

"I have a change of plans." Tang Xiao took out a device, activated it, and enveloped the area with a soundproof formation.

Fu Meiyu, Xuanyuan Yueyao, and Situ Lingxi were equally shocked by Tang Xiao’s action.

’This young man cannot be underestimated! No wonder Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi are with him!’ Fu Meiyu took a breath and asked. "Why did you suddenly change your mind about that clan?"

Tang Xiao glanced at Xuanyuan Yueyao before answering. "Have you ever heard of Xiang Zhiyu and Shen Lianfeng?"

"Hmm?" Fu Meiyu was a little confused. "I knew Xiang Zhiyu, and she was Emperor Xiang’s little sister. Unfortunately, she died long ago, and the demons killed her, but I have never heard of Shen Lianfeng. Is he related to the Shen Clan?"

"Shen Lianfeng is the son of Shen Tianyu and the late Xiang Zhiyu." Fu Meiyu looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao with wide eyes. "Not many people know about their relationship, but my uncle knows a lot about it."

Fu Meiyu took a deep breath to calm herself. "So—"

"Yes." Tang Xiao nodded at her. "Honestly, I wanted to destroy the Shen Clan because their members tried to kill me, and they also tried to kidnap my wife. Fortunately, Yueyao told me about Shen Lianfeng and his relationship with the Xiang Empire, so I changed my mind about the Shen Clan. However, I will not change my decision about Shen Liang, and I will do something about him soon."

Fu Meiyu’s expression turned complicated after Tang Xiao said that. "I know Shen Liang has committed a grave mistake, but I beg you not to kill him. I’m begging you not because I want to save him, but because I don’t want my daughter’s feelings to be broken because of his death. He is my daughter’s only son, and her life will be ruined if he dies."

"Do you think I can do that?" Tang Xiao asked in a sharp tone. "If I didn’t have some advantages, I would have died in his hands, and he would have also succeeded in kidnapping my wife."

"I—"

Tang Xiao waved his hand. "Since Shen Liang is so cruel, I must repay his cruelty with cruelty. I will never leave any hidden danger that will threaten my safety or my wife’s, so he must die. As for the Shen Clan, I will not fight them openly, but I will use other means to weaken them, so Shen Lianfeng will never be aware of my actions."

’Damn it! This matter is really complicated! If it weren’t for my daughter, I would have killed Shen Liang with my own hands!’ Fu Meiyu thought of several things to persuade Tang Xiao, but she didn’t have anything interesting to offer him. "What can I do for you so that you won’t kill him? I have no problem if you want to do something else to him, but I sincerely hope that you won’t kill him."

Xuanyuan Yueyao sighed inwardly at Fu Meiyu’s expression. "What if you do something else to Shen Liang?"

"Hmm?" Tang Xiao looked at her with a frown.

Xuanyuan Yueyao continued. "I don’t know what you did to those people before, but I believe you have other ways to prevent Shen Liang from looking for trouble with you again. Although Shen Lianfeng won’t interfere if you kill him, Shen Tianyu and Shen Guanglin are different, and they will target you if you kill him. That’s why I think you should use other methods against him so you won’t create new trouble for yourself."

"You’re right." Tang Xia nodded. "Actually, I have several methods I can use against him, and they won’t be able to find out anything."

Fu Meiyu felt a little relieved. "As long as you don’t kill him, you can use any method you want against him, and I won’t stop you."
