My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2135: Chapter 2131: Coastal City

Tang Ming nodded. "If it won’t cause you any trouble, then I’ll go to your home to relax a bit. And I can also take the chance to meet your uncle and aunt."

Hearing Tang Ming mention her parents, Mo Chou’s expression dimmed. "My parents both died in battle. But I can take you to see my grandfather and grandmother. They’ve always treated me very well."

"I’m really sorry for making you think of sad things. I, Tang Ming, promise you here: as long as I, Tang Ming, am around, I’ll never let you be sad again."

Tang Ming and Mo Chou settled on going to Mo Chou’s home. Considering Bao’er and Ling’er’s safety, Mo Chou decided to bring the two of them along as well.

Bao’er and Ling’er were both outer sect Disciples of the Huan Die Sect. Ever since joining the Huan Die Sect, they hadn’t left the Sect all these years.

When they heard that Mo Chou was going to take them to the Wu Family’s fief, the Coastal City, both of them were so excited they could hardly sit still.

Early the next morning, Tang Ming and Mo Chou personally went to see Huan Die and Qing Die. After bidding them farewell, they left the Huan Die Sect.

Qingfeng Can had been in a foul mood lately. His smuggling of Fiery Flame Stone in the Coastal City had somehow been reported to the Regent King.

Although the Regent King was his own father, there were still plenty of people competing with him for the position of the next Regent King, and the Iron-Blood Prince was watching from above. The Regent King couldn’t just cover for him.

"Fifth Lord, Can Yingyi has returned."

The old housekeeper of the Shadow Residences, Shadow Remnant, appeared at Qingfeng Can’s side.

Qingfeng Can, his face full of irritation, raised his brows slightly when he heard the old housekeeper’s words. His expression sank as he gave a cold snort. "What did he come running back for? Is he not collecting information from the Huan Die Sect anymore? Useless fools who spoil more than they accomplish."

"Fifth Lord, Ah Yi came back this time because of something extremely important. He also brought over that Miss Yanli from Xiang Die Valley."

Shadow Remnant also felt some dissatisfaction toward Can Yingyi in his heart. This time he came back without reporting in, and he even brought a woman along in such a secretive manner. No matter what Shadow Remnant asked, both Can Yingyi and Yanli kept their mouths shut, only saying that they would speak the truth once they met Fifth Lord.

If Can Yingyi weren’t a Death Soldier he had personally trained, Shadow Remnant would have long since wanted to personally eliminate that disgusting dog couple.

Qingfeng Can took a deep breath, his fingers tapping on the wooden table. "Then let them in. If they don’t have any news that interests me, they’ll look good for sure."

Shadow Remnant nodded. His figure flickered and he disappeared from where he stood.

Can Yingyi and Yanli both felt extremely ill at ease. After all, if Yingying were still alive, that would definitely be a great piece of news. Just for bringing good news, Qingfeng Can would reward them.

But Yingying had been killed by Tang Ming. As for how Qingfeng Can would handle this matter, the two of them truly had no idea.

"Paying respects to Fifth Lord."

Yanli imitated Can Yingyi and knelt down.

The corners of Qingfeng Can’s lips curled slightly. "Miss Yanli is the chief Disciple of Xiang Die Valley in the Huan Die Sect. In terms of status, she’s not much lower than me, Qingfeng Can. What virtue or ability does Qingfeng Can have to deserve Miss Yanli’s kneeling? Hurry and get up. Someone, bring a seat."

Yanli’s shoulders trembled, and two streams of tears flowed from her eyes. "Fifth Lord, this time Yanli has gone against the will of the Sect Master and my Master. I’m afraid I can no longer be a Disciple of the Huan Die Sect."

"Ah Yi, Yanli, what do you mean by this?"

As one of the most important Sects of the Qingfeng Dynasty, the Huan Die Sect held great weight. Yanli’s status in the Huan Die Sect wasn’t considered high; she was not part of the Elder Council nor a Manager Elder.

But the authority in her hands was in no way smaller than that of the Manager Elders. All these years, Xiang Die Valley had always been under Yanli’s control.

"Fifth Lord, let me tell you something, but please don’t be angry. Last time, when you went to the Huan Die Sect, there was a girl named Yingying. Do you still remember her?"

Can Yingyi studied Qingfeng Can’s expression.

Qingfeng Can was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "That girl wasn’t bad. It was her first time when she accompanied this Prince. What is it, did something happen to her?"

"Fifth Lord, my junior sister Yingying died a horrible death. There was already your child in her belly, yet she was still killed by that beast Tang Ming."

Yanli plopped down onto the ground, crying her heart out.

Qingfeng Can’s body trembled violently. If it weren’t for the old housekeeper Shadow Remnant supporting him, he might have fallen to the floor.

All these years, he had sown his wild oats everywhere, yet not a single woman had borne him a child.

Finally, that woman named Yingying had his child, only to be killed.

"My woman and child are both dead. Why are the two of you still alive?"

A flash of black light swept past, and fresh blood dripped, drop by drop, from a longsword.

Qingfeng Can slowly closed his eyes, sitting on the armchair as he gulped down great breaths of air.

"Fifth Lord, should this old man personally investigate this matter? What Ah Yi says... may not necessarily be true."

Shadow Remnant’s gaze fell on the two corpses in the hall, his eyes full of mockery.

For something like this, Yanli and Can Yingyi had actually dared to report it. This was simply courting death.

Qingfeng Can gave a cold snort. "Even if you gave Ah Yi a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare lie to me. Go and investigate for me who exactly that Tang Ming is. Since he killed my woman and child, I’ll make him regret ever coming into this world."

"Understood, Fifth Lord. I’ll arrange for people to investigate right away."

Shadow Remnant nodded and left the small sitting room of the residence.

Qingfeng Can’s gaze fell on the two corpses on the floor. He extended his left hand, and green flames burned in the center of his palm. "It wasn’t easy for this body of mine to gain some popularity, and yet the Demon Seed it nurtured actually fell to some unknown junior. Good. Very good."

The Coastal City wasn’t large, but because it bordered the Lost Sea, it was very prosperous. Many Demon Hunting Teams came here to slaughter the Demon Clan of the sea, and many Artifact Refiners also came here to purchase materials from sea Demon Beasts.

It was said that back then the Iron-Blood Prince had battled the Sea Dragon King in the Lost Sea for ten days. After being soundly defeated, the Sea Dragon King was forced to sign a contract with the Qingfeng Dynasty, allowing the Qingfeng Dynasty to build five Coastal Cities here.

It was said that these five cities accounted for fifty percent of the Qingfeng Dynasty’s national treasury income. Four of them were controlled by the direct line of the Qingfeng clan under the Iron-Blood Prince.

But the Coastal City was given by the Iron-Blood Prince to the Wu Family.

It could be said that Wu Muchou of the Wu Family, in terms of status, was no lower than the Princes of the Qingfeng Dynasty.

"My Mo Chou bringing a friend home is really something unexpected. Young man, come sit over here and tell me, what’s your name?"

Wu Muchou’s grandmother, Ziyun Teng, held Tang Ming’s hand, her entire face blossoming with smiles.

All these years, Wu Muchou had always followed Huan Die around, and she hadn’t even returned to the Coastal City for Ziyun Teng’s birthday in recent years.
