Tang Fei thought that he could easily reach a cooperation with the Second Elder. Although this guy is very likely to be the culprit who killed the master, at this moment, Tang Fei can only find a way to win him over.
Get rid of the Great Elder’s lineage first, and then find a way to attack the Second Elder’s lineage.
What he didn’t expect was that the Second Elder was also an old fox, a master who didn’t see the rabbit and didn’t scatter the eagle. He almost showed his disdain and contempt for Tang Fei on the bright side, because in his opinion, with Tang Fei’s current strength and situation, it is almost impossible for him to win the civil war in Ziqing Sacred Land. That being the case, it’s better to squeeze Tang Fei out first. Presumably, Tang Fei, who had entered Qiankun Palace once and came out alive, must have a lot of good things in his hands, right?
The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other “affectionately,” and the scene fell into a stalemate for a while.
After a while, Tang Fei took the lead in breaking the deadlock. He sighed, and said to the second Elder, “Second Elder, although Murong and I survived from the Qiankun Palace, it was purely a fluke. As for the chance and inheritance, we didn’t get anything. The Second Elder’s request is really embarrassing for me.”
The Second Elder looked indifferent, and said lightly, “Tang Fei, others don’t know you, but I know you very well. When will you fight an uncertain battle? Since you insist on going to the Ziqing Sacred Land and having a fight with the Great Elder, then you must have something to rely on. But after you were deprived of the position of the holy son, almost all of your original savings were taken away by the Great Elder and the Third Elder. Yet now you want to fight against the Great Elder, which is impossible unless you gained something in Qiankun Palace.”
Speaking of this, the Second Elder’s face, which seemed to always look dead, showed a rare smile, “Tang Fei, am I right?”
Tang Fei covered his eyes slightly, but in his heart he secretly disdained the Second Elder.
No wonder this guy has been fighting the Great Elder for so long, but he is always suppressed by the Great Elder. With his pattern, he can’t do anything.
The Second Elder put on a posture of being determined to win against Tang Fei, and at the same time, he was very convinced that Tang Fei did get a chance from Qiankun Palace. His overconfidence made it difficult for Tang Fei to deal with it for a while, but it also made the Second Elder himself miss the opportunity to gain greater benefits.The so-called “wealth and opportunity are sought in danger.”
Tang Fei admitted that he had no good intentions, but the Second Elder didn’t even dare to try to form an alliance, which made Tang Fei couldn’t help but look down on him in his heart.
Tang Fei felt a little embarrassed.
It is true that he does not have a chance from Qiankun Palace, so it is certainly impossible to give it to the Second Elder. Without the help of the Second Elder, it would be extremely difficult to deal with the Great Elder. Just as Tang Fei was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered the scene where he was stopped by the Second Elder just now, and another thought suddenly popped up in his heart.
Could it be that this old thing is deceiving me?
Thinking of this possibility, Tang Fei sighed embarrassingly, and said, “It seems that the Second Elder is not willing to help me with this. If so, I have no choice but to leave.”
The Second Elder didn’t take it seriously, and raised his glass to say goodbye, “Niece and nephew, go slowly.”
Tang Fei’s face suddenly became gloomy. With a cold snort, he left the inner hall with Murong Pianpian.
But until their figures disappeared from the Second Elder’s sight, the Second Elder didn’t speak.
Tang Fei couldn’t help but doubt in his heart, “Could it be that I guessed wrong?”
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Fei suddenly saw a disciple of the Wu family stepping forward. He first saluted Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian, then said respectfully, “The patriarch ordered this disciple to arrange guest rooms for the two distinguished guests, and invite them to rest for a night before leaving.”
Now the sun is setting and it is about to set. If Tang Fei and the others leave now, they might have to fly in the dark for the rest of the time, so it’s not surprising that Wu Feng made this arrangement.
Tang Fei hummed with an ugly face, while Murong Pianpian tugged at his sleeve, and said politely to the disciple, “If that’s the case, then it will be troublesome.”
The disciple said respectfully to the two, “I also invite two distinguished guests to accompany me to the wing.”
After a while, the two were led to the wing room. After the disciple left, Murong Pianpian asked Tang Fei without knowing it, “The Second Elder is in the Wu family, and you dare to stay? Are you not afraid that he will do something to us?”
It turned out that when the disciple asked, although Tang Fei showed a dismissive look, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Murong Pianpian, asking her to agree. Although Murong Pianpian didn’t know why, she still chose to do what Tang Fei said. But after that, the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong, and she couldn’t help asking Tang Fei about it.
Tang Fei sneered, and said, “Don’t worry, Murong, although the Second Elder’s brain is not very good, he is still very clear about what he can’t do. We didn’t come to the Wu Clan by ourselves, but the people of the Tiangang Sword Sect personally sent us here. If something happened to us here, wouldn’t we be slapping the face of the Tiangang Sword Sect? As long as the Second Elder is not so stupid, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such an irrational thing.”
Murong Pianpian rolled his eyes at him, sighed, and said, “You people are really good at playing with your mind, I really can’t keep up with your thoughts.”
Tang Fei said helplessly, “I can use some methods. It’s not that I want to do so, but if I don’t, I really won’t know how I died. You always think too well of people’s hearts, so I don’t want you to get involved in this matter.”
Murong Pianpian’s face darkened, “I’ve already told you that I have a responsibility to avenge my master! If you still want to push me away, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Tang Fei smiled wryly, but did not speak.
