750 This Is Too Unskilled (1)
There was a mountain peak towering into the clouds in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
On the mountain peak, palaces stretched on and on, decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. It was like a fairyland.
This was where the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven lived.
It was also the supreme place of the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
There were hundreds of millions of people in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Although there were no nations, there were still cities. These cities were directly subordinate to the Tang family.
The Tang family could be considered the imperial family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
As for the head of the Tang family, he was the emperor of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
In the era when the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven didn’t appear, the head of the Tang family was an existence that could do whatever he wanted.
Tang Qianluo was the current head of the Tang family.
Previously, he had personally gone to ask Zhou Shu for the Divine Stone. In his opinion, he had already given Zhou Shu enough face.
But since Zhou Shu was ungrateful, he couldn’t blame him for taking some measures.
But dealing with Zhou Shu was not worthy of Tang Qianluo personally taking action. He only gave the orders. His subordinates would naturally take care of the details.
At this moment, Tang Qianluo had long put Zhou Shu’s matter aside. He was currently receiving guests from the Sima Grotto-Heaven.
“Brother Zheng, you’ve come out of seclusion?” Tang Qianluo smiled gracefully. “Brother Zheng, your cultivation has improved. Congratulations.”
“What’s there to congratulate?” A middle-aged man opposite him shook his head. “The higher your cultivation, the faster you die.”
Tang Qianluo: “…”
“Family Head Tang, I’m not here to chat with you. I’m here on official business,” the middle-aged man continued.
“Brother Ji, do you want to say it, or should I?” The middle-aged man turned to someone beside him.
The person beside him was Ji Lutian.
Ji Lutian was thin, and his face was slightly pale, but his demeanor was still graceful. He smiled and said, “Let me explain.”
He cupped his hands at Tang Qianluo. “Brother Tang, long time no see.”
Tang Qianluo’s expression was cold as he glanced at Ji Lutian. “Long time no see. Tell me. Why are you here?”
“I’m here to ask you for a favor.” Ji Lutian was not angry at Tang Qianluo’s coldness. “Zhou Shu has some relationship with me. I don’t know how he offended you, but I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you can be magnanimous.”
“Sir Ji,” Tang Qianluo interrupted Ji Lutian before he could finish. “Zhou Shu didn’t offend me. I asked someone to bring him back because he colluded with the Demon Realm and wanted to subvert our human race.
“This isn’t a personal grudge. It’s righteousness!
“If he was just rude to me, do you think I would be so petty as to argue with a junior?”
Tang Qianluo raised his head. “You’re underestimating me too much!”
The middle-aged man who came with Ji Lutian pursed his lips, his eyes indifferent.
Ji Lutian’s expression didn’t change as he cupped his hands. “I misspoke.
“I wonder how the investigation is going, Family Head Tang? If you need my cooperation, I will definitely cooperate fully,” Ji Lutian said seriously. “I have seen all of Zhou Shu’s actions in the Demon Realm. This young man might not be very prudent, but he didn’t collude with the Demon Realm and betray the human race.”
“How can I trust you?” Tang Qianluo said coldly. “Who are you to say that?”
“Family Head Tang, you’re going overboard,” the man surnamed Zheng, who had come with Ji Lutian, said unhappily. “Brother Ji has personally guaranteed it. Do you not trust him?”
“That’s right. I just can’t trust him,” Tang Qianluo said coldly. “I knew from the beginning that Zhou Shu was chosen by Ji Lutian. But you, Ji Lutian, are not clean yourself. How can the person you chose be clean?
“If you want me to let Zhou Shu go, then please leave. I won’t let him go until I find out the truth!”
“Tang Qianluo!” the man surnamed Zheng shouted, his expression ugly. “Do you know what you’re saying? Brother Ji isn’t clean? Open your eyes and take a good look!”
“Zheng Chengan!” Tang Qianluo’s expression turned cold. “This isn’t your Sima Grotto-Heaven. If you think you can behave atrociously in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, you’re wrong!”
Both of them were emitting powerful auras, like two volcanoes that could erupt at any moment.
Ji Lutian shook his head with a bitter smile. He rubbed his glabella with a headache and said, “Brother Zheng, calm down.”
Then he cupped his hands at Tang Qianluo. “Family Head Tang, your ideas are different from mine. It’s reasonable for you to suspect me. This is also why I came.
“If you suspect me in any way, I will give you an explanation. It’s the same with Zhou Shu.
“It’s normal for our ideas to be different. But Family Head Tang, we’re all humans, and our ultimate goals are the same. We mustn’t hurt each other’s feelings just because of a misunderstanding.”
“Hmph, I wouldn’t dare to get close to you.” Tang Qianluo snorted. “I’ve already said what I needed to say. If you’re here to drink and catch up with me, I welcome you. If it’s anything else, you can leave now!”
Tang Qianluo flicked his sleeves and opened the door to send them off.
Zheng Chengan was furious. “Tang Qianluo, you’re not even giving me this bit of face?”
