Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 20: Inquiry

We are all students, and those who come out of Xiyue Academy are naturally superior to others. It is polite to be polite with words, but if you give in in actual actions, you will lose the prestige of the academy.

Class is everywhere, and so is oppression, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the mouth or in the face to be called oppression. This ubiquitous class itself is the most obvious manifestation of the contempt for others.

Here, Mr. Xu had already welcomed the three people in. Tang Jie was not polite and sat down directly on the table, saying, "We are here this time, but we still want to ask about Lin Lang."

"If you ask the Immortal, I will definitely tell you everything you know." Xu Xi'an pointed at himself and then at a young girl beside him and replied.

That young girl must be Xu Mujun. She is quite pretty, but she just lowers her head and is reluctant to speak.

Tang Jie looked at the other party meaningfully, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I heard that Miss Xu had a good relationship with Lin Lang when she was at Liuyun Academy? This is true."

Xu Mujun nodded lightly and replied: "Back in Tang Dynasty, it was like this. When I first left home and entered the academy, I had no one to take care of me, so I felt quite uncomfortable for a while. It was Lin Lang who showed up in time and helped me. As time went by, I developed some feelings for him. I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that his ambition would turn out to be a secret agent of Tianshen Palace..."

Speaking of this, the girl started crying.

Tang Jie said: "To be precise, his father is the secret agent of Tianshen Palace, but whether he himself is the secret agent is unknown because he has not been caught."

As soon as he said these words, the girl was obviously stunned: "Mr. Tang, what you mean is that Lin... is not from the Tianshen Palace?"

"I didn't say whether he was or not, but I just need to catch someone to confirm." Tang Jie said lightly: "By the way, Miss Xu, can I ask where you were when Lin Lang escaped?"

"I was practicing at my residence at that time."

"Did he come to see you before he ran away?"

The girl shook her head.

"How long did it take for you to return home after he left?"

"Three days later. To be honest, Mr. Tang, although I left in the name of a trial, it was actually just an excuse. After what happened, I was extremely scared, lest I would be implicated, so I hurried home in."

"You said that soon after that, people from the Xiyue Sect came to see you?"

"Yes."

"How long?"

"About ten days later."

"Lin Lang hasn't contacted you since he escaped?"

"No, absolutely not!" The girl said repeatedly: "The little girl can swear an oath to her inner demons. After this matter comes out, the little girl will definitely have no contact with Lin Lang!"

"Huh?" Tang Jie glanced at the girl upon hearing the sound, and even Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other in confusion.

Although the Inner Demon Oath is not 100% effective, the psychological emphasis formed over the years makes most immortal cultivators take the Inner Demon Oath quite seriously.

If what Xu Mujun said is true, doesn't it mean that Tang Jie's previous guess was completely wrong? The reason why the Xiyue Sect left this line may not be because they already knew Lin Lang's whereabouts as Tang Jie said. It is more likely that they themselves have not confirmed all this.

Tang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly: "In that case, tell me what you know."

Xu Mujun then told everything he knew about Lin Lang.

Perhaps in order to clear away the suspicion, Xu Mujun spoke in great detail, including Lin Lang's interests, hobbies, living habits, etc. He almost revealed everything without hiding anything.

After some inquiries, no results were obtained, and both Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng were a little disappointed.

Seeing that the night was getting dark, Tang Jie said: "Thank you, Miss Xu, for your answer. I apologize for disturbing my family this time."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Xu Xi'an said hurriedly: "Since the three of you are here, you might as well have a light meal before leaving."

At this time, the Xu Mansion has prepared a dinner for the three of them.

Tang Jie was not polite, and the three of them sat down to dine together.

Without the previous interrogation, the conversation during the dinner seemed much more relaxed and natural. The guests of the Xu family were courteous, and the dishes served were all good wine and food, including many precious spiritual foods.

Tang Jie Shi Meng was not polite and took the opportunity to indulge in a feast. While eating, Tang Jie said: "Yes, not bad, not bad. Xu Mansion is worthy of everyone in Fengyin. They have such delicacies, but it is a pity..."

"I don't know what Mr. Tang is regretful about. If I can do it, I will do my best for Mr. Tang." Xu Xian asked.

"It's a pity that there are no red fruits from Yueyang, which are the best for hangovers, and white lotus from Linchuan, which is the most appetizing, and honey lotus from Sanjiang, which is the most delicious thing in the world." Tang Jie shook his head. road.

Xu Xi'an was stunned: "Really? The three rivers of Yueyang, Linchuan and Fengyin are all around Fengyin. He is so old and incompetent that he doesn't know about this and will prepare it for the young master another day."

"That's nothing. By the way, I wonder if there is Yusong tea in my house. Drink this tea after meals to refresh your mind and have the best effect."

"But no." Xu Xi'an felt ashamed.

"Forget it if you don't have it." Tang Jie smiled.

He turned around and said to Xu Mujun: "By the way, I have something to ask Miss Xu."

"Master, please speak."

“I got to know a female nun a few days ago, and I want to make friends with her. I want to give her a pair of embroidery to express my feelings. I heard that the embroidery workers in Fenglinyuan and Meijianfang are the best in Yanzhou, but I don’t know. Which one is better? Miss Xu is a lady, so she must be clear about it. Please give me some advice."

"This..." Xu Mujun frowned and said softly: "After all, Feng Linyuan's is better."

"I see, I've learned a lesson." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

After drinking and eating, Tang Jie finally stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu, for your cooperation. It's getting late, so we won't bother you any more."

When he showed his intention to leave, everyone in the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief and took their daughter and family all the way to the door.

On the way, Tang Jie asked casually: "By the way, the last time Xiyue sent people, who were they?"

Xu Mujun was stunned for a moment and looked at his father. Xu Xi'an said: "It's Master Chang Yuping of the Xiyue Sect and his two subordinates."

"Chang Yuping?" Tang Jie muttered the name. He had not joined the Xiyue Sect after all, and his understanding of the Xiyue Sect was still limited. He knew well-known figures such as Yan Changfeng. There are many spiritual masters from the Xiyue Sect in the mortal realm, but he doesn't know much about them.

"Which hall is it from?" Tang Jie asked.

"Lütang." Xu Xian answered.

"Lütang?" Tang Jie murmured again: "What did Master Chang say after he came?"

"After asking, Master Chang checked Xu's house again and left after confirming that nothing was wrong. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect..."

Xu Xi'an didn't say any more, but the subtext was that your Xiyue Sect has certified that my Xu family has no connection with Lin Lang, so what are you going to do?

"I see." Tang Jie suddenly smiled: "The Xu family must have spent a lot of money on this, right?"

Xu Xi'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Wherever, Wen Xin Guo has been blessed by the Immortal, with good weather and good harvests every year. The little old man has always admired the Immortals closely. The Immortal is far away Come, we have worked hard all the way, so the Xu family should prepare some small gifts to express their feelings. If the immortal is willing to accept them, it will be a great honor to the Xu family."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and servants had already delivered several brocade boxes to them.

Tang Jie opened the lid of the box and took a look. What was inside was spiritual money instead of silver coins. There were probably no less than a thousand coins in each box.

Seeing the money, Tang Jie's eyes darkened, but Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng were delighted.

You must know that even if Wei Tianchong comes from a wealthy family, the more spiritual money the better.

Many things are easy to say, but when temptation does appear, most people are almost unable to resist it.

Seeing the three brocade boxes at this moment, Wei Tianchong couldn't help but stretched out his hand to get it. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie slapped Wei Tianchong's hand back and gently said Push the three brocade boxes back.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xi'an was shocked: "Mr. Tang, what do you mean by this?"

Tang Jie said slowly: "Student Xiyue was ordered to arrest Lin Lang. We came here just to find out where he went. As long as the Xu family is law-abiding, there is nothing to worry about."

Xu Xi'an laughed angrily: "According to Mr. Tang's opinion, I feel guilty by doing this? If you are dissatisfied, you can accuse me, Xu Xian, of harboring a fugitive!"

"That's not enough." Tang Jie said calmly: "I'm just saying ~IndoMTL.com~ we will investigate impartially and will never unjustly accuse good people. The elderly can rest assured."

"In this case, I can rest assured."

While talking, everyone has arrived at the door.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the moment Tang Jie went out, Tang Jie suddenly said: "Miss Xu has been in school for four years. She must be at the Linghu level by now, right?"

"Yes, it's the Linghu level." Xu Mujun replied.

"I heard that you are the only daughter in the Xu family, and all hopes are placed on you."

"Mujun is incompetent, he is not kind to others, and he has not completed his studies, but he has caused huge trouble for the family." Xu Mujun lowered his head and answered.

"So, you are the only cultivator in the Xu family now?"

"Yes."

"That's weird, why do I remember that the Xu family should have a servant?" Tang Jie said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Mujun's body trembled suddenly.

Tang Jie smiled and strode out.

Go out of the Xu Mansion gate.

Tang Jie's face quickly sank.

Wei Tianchong saw that he looked wrong and asked: "Are you still worried about being unsure? There is no need..."

He also wanted to comfort Tang Jie, but Tang Jie shook his head and said: "Lin Lang is at the Xu family!"

He said this so categorically that both of them were stunned by him.

Shi Meng said anxiously: "Xu Mujun has already made a wish. I see that she made it so neatly and neatly. I don't want it to be fake."

Tang Jie asked back: "The question is, what if she is not Xu Mujun?"

"Huh?" The two of them were stunned.

Wei Tianchong pointed at Tang Jie and trembled: "You...you said that girl just now...she...she...isn't Xu Mujun?"

"Nonsense!" Tang Jie spat on the ground: "She is so fake. If she is Xu Mujun, I will be the real Changfeng!"

Shi Meng asked urgently: "How do you know she is not Xu Mujun?"
