My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2128: Chapter 2124: The Four Great Elders

Mo Chou pondered over the words her master had said, occasionally casting her gaze upon Tang Ming.

This man was sent by that woman in a letter. Given that woman’s relationship with the Huan Die Sect, he would at least be granted a position as a tribute.

Although the master didn’t say it directly, she still indirectly hinted that she should probe this man’s intentions.

Yet, faced with her beauty, he showed no reaction, instead bowing his head and frowning.

"Tang Ming, my master and several elders are waiting for you in the reception hall. Could you tell me what your relationship is with Senior Hu Mei’er?"

Mo Chou smiled at Tang Ming, her lips slightly curled up, her face blushing with a hint of red.

Tang Ming, realizing he had neglected the beauty before him, hurriedly clasped his hands in respect: "Just an ordinary friendship. May I know how to address you, young lady?"

"My name is Mo Chou, the eldest disciple of the Huan Die Sect’s master. If you become a tribute to our sect, you can just call me Mo Chou."

Mo Chou noticed Tang Ming’s eyes lingering on her, her heart sweetened, realizing that Tang Ming was not entirely insensitive, as he knew how to appreciate beauty.

"Mo Chou, a good name. From your appearance, it truly suits you," he remarked.

Tang Ming was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Mo Chou, both bursting into laughter.

The sect master of the Huan Die Sect, known as Huan Die, appeared to be in her forties, with the traces of time etched on her face.

Unlike Mo Chou’s youthful beauty, Huan Die seemed more solemn and dignified.

"This is Tang Ming. Elders, please get acquainted with him."

Huan Die’s gaze swept around; the four elders sitting nearby simultaneously focused their eyes on Tang Ming.

Only those who had encountered Hu Mei’er knew how formidable and ruthless she was.

Nowadays, only the four elders and the sect leader Huan Die were the veterans of the sect. Those newer members may not know of Hu Mei’er’s bloody means, but they had witnessed it.

After so many years without contact from Hu Mei’er, she now sent a man here. They had to wonder about Hu Mei’er’s intentions in sending Tang Ming.

"Who would have thought it was a young and handsome rich guy? Sect Leader Senior Sister, I suggest we settle him in Xiang Die Valley, and Yingying is also of marriageable age; she can marry Tribute Tang Ming."

Elder Xiang Die, dressed in a red robe, chuckled.

Opposite her, Elder Bing Die snorted coldly; this was the usual tactic Xiang Die liked to use, marrying off her disciples in this manner.

Over the years, Elder Xiang Die’s status in the Huan Die Sect had risen so much that even the sect leader Huan Die struggled to suppress her.

"It’s too early for Yingying to be married. Xiang Die, your Xiang Die Valley already houses many tributes. Placing Tang Ming there might neglect him as a tribute. After all, he was sent by Hu Mei’er. I think it would be better for him to stay at my Sword Butterfly Pavilion."

With a majestic demeanor, Elder Jian Die raised her eyebrows and looked at Sect Leader Huan Die.

Huan Die knew that Jian Die and Bing Die were close allies; they both disapproved of the heavily made-up and power-seeking Xiang Die.

"Both the Sword Butterfly Pavilion and Xiang Die Valley are good places—the climate in Xiang Die Valley is pleasant, and it has developed well in recent years. The Sword Butterfly Pavilion is a great place for cultivation. However, over the years, both Jian Die Junior Sister and Xiang Die Junior Sister have amassed a lot of tributes there. I think it would be better to place Tribute Tang Ming in Qing Die Junior Sister’s area."

Huan Die’s gaze lingered on Jian Die and Xiang Die before finally resting on Qing Die, who had remained silent.

Qing Die’s narrowed eyes flashed with a shimmer as she stood up and approached Tang Ming: "Qing Die will follow orders. I will arrange accommodation for Tribute Tang Ming. However, Qing Die has some questions for Tribute Tang Ming, if you don’t mind."

Tang Ming looked towards Elder Qing Die, feeling annoyed by the visible and invisible arrows these women exchanged. He held disinterest in a sect like Huan Die Sect, yet these women seemed to disregard him as well.

"Ladies and Elders, when Hu Mei’er sent me here, she did not mention encountering such drama at the Huan Die Sect. If the sect does not wish to keep Tang Ming, he will leave at once. Frankly, a sect like Huan Die Sect doesn’t impress me," Tang Ming remarked with a snide tone.

Tang Ming let out a cold snort.

Elder Bing Die slammed the table and stood up, "Insolence, Tang Ming. Don’t think that just because Hu Mei’er backs you, you can do as you please."

"Bing Die Senior Sister, don’t be angry. Tribute Tang Ming, neither do I mean any disrespect to Sister Hu Mei’er nor Tribute Tang Ming. I simply wish to understand Tribute Tang Ming’s strength. After all, strength directly relates to the treatment and status amongst tributes," Qing Die explained.

Qing Die’s words startled Caidie and the others.

A person introduced by Hu Mei’er would naturally not be weak. After all, Hu Mei’er’s strength was undeniable.

However, Caidie, Bing Die, Jian Die, and Xiang Die all knew that Qing Die possessed the Green Body, allowing her to use her unique constitution to discern someone’s strength.

Observing Qing Die’s attitude suggested that Tang Ming’s strength might not be formidable.

Regardless of the place, strength is paramount. If Tang Ming wasn’t strong, even being sent by Hu Mei’er, Huan Die Sect could only provide for him out of courtesy.

"Strength? I wonder how Elder Qing Die intends to test my strength. Do you wish to engage with me?"

Tang Ming sneered coldly, confident in his abilities, not considering Elder Qing Die a threat.

Qing Die shook her head, reaching into her storage ring to pull out a piece of spirit jade: "Just test the immortal power in your body. Cultivators use immortal power to gauge strength. If you infuse your immortal power into the spirit jade, we will know your strength."

When Tang Ming saw the spirit jade, his expression turned peculiar, as he hadn’t cultivated any immortal cultivation techniques since arriving in the Immortal World. His immortal power was pitifully meager.

Should he truly infuse his immortal power into the spirit jade, he might be deemed a failure by these people.

Yet, without infusing his power, with so many eyes upon him, he truly didn’t know what to do.

"I cultivate a special cultivation technique. My body holds no immortal power," Tang Ming said, refusing to accept the spirit jade.

Caidie and the four elders exchanged glances before Jian Die and Xiang Die, who had previously sought to win over Tang Ming, quickly retracted their smiles.

Elder Bing Die merely snorted with disdain.

"Alright, since Tribute Tang Ming’s cultivation technique is special, there’s no need for testing. Qing Die, you handle the living arrangements for Elder Tang Ming, and Xiang Die’s disciple Yingying will become Daoist Companion to Elder Tang Ming. Everyone, disperse," Huan Die waved her hand, making her decision.
