My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2147: Chapter 2143: Encircled by Pursuers

Wu Hong’s voice wasn’t quiet, but Tang Ming’s pupils tightened. Who was the little girl Wu Hong mentioned? Lian’er? Did she betray him because he had connections with the Demon Clan? Then what was going on with those things she left behind?

Tang Ming’s thoughts became a mess. He didn’t clash with the Wu Family brothers, but directly flipped himself up onto the roof.

They knocked on the door twice in a row, but the people inside showed no intention of opening it. Wu Hong and Wu Ying exchanged a look, then he waved his hand for someone to kick the courtyard gate open.

Lian’er’s lodging was extremely simple, only a front and back courtyard. There was just a single dilapidated empty room in the front courtyard, and the back courtyard was also completely empty.

"Go check the rooftops and the nearby streets."

Wu Ying swept his gaze around and spoke.

The Wu Family’s guards all nodded; some climbed up onto the roof, others vaulted over the walls.

Tang Ming knew he couldn’t stay hidden on the roof any longer. The Bone Claw shot out, hooked onto a rear courtyard wall, and his whole body flew out in one motion.

"Sure enough, he’s here. After him!"

When Wu Ying saw Tang Ming appear, he immediately grew excited, but standing beside him, Wu Hong’s face showed a look of surprise.

Tang Ming used the Bone Claw to move quickly through Coastal City, and in the blink of an eye he vanished into the crowd.

Wu Ying led people out to capture Tang Ming, while Wu Hong stayed behind and carefully examined the remaining things in the courtyard.

Aside from the white cloth Lian’er had used earlier to bandage Tang Ming’s wounds, he didn’t find anything useful.

"This blood should be Tang Ming’s, right?"

Qingfeng Can, who had just received the news, fixed his gaze on the bandage in Wu Hong’s hand.

Wu Hong grinned. "What? Brother Can, you’re interested in this thing too?"

"Mm. Give it to me. I’ll investigate where Tang Ming went. Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, this time, I’m going to catch him."

A chilling smile appeared on Qingfeng Can’s face, making Wu Hong shudder. His gaze then fell on Qingfeng Ziyun standing to the side.

Qingfeng Ziyun nodded. "Wu Hong, since he has a way, let him handle it. After all, Tang Ming was originally provoked by him. There’s no need for us to clean up his mess."

"Don’t worry, this time Tang Ming definitely won’t escape from the palm of my hand."

Holding the bloodstained white cloth, Qingfeng Can’s face was full of confidence.

Tang Ming was extremely fast, and when he moved there was no trace of Immortal Energy at all, leaving the Wu Family’s Tributes with no way to lock onto him. After crossing two streets in a row, Tang Ming discovered he had actually arrived at the back courtyard of the Wu Family’s secondary residence.

They say the most dangerous place is the safest place. Tang Ming’s eyes turned, and he directly leaped into the Wu Family’s secondary residence.

Qingfeng Ziyun was somewhat annoyed. Qingfeng Can had been saying all along that he would personally capture Tang Ming, but after getting the white cloth stained with Tang Ming’s blood, he disappeared with his men.

The people of Five Poison Valley and the Wu Family had practically turned the entire Coastal City upside down, yet they still hadn’t caught Tang Ming.

"Did Tang Ming grow wings and fly out of Coastal City or something?"

Qingfeng Ziyun flung the teacup in her hand away in irritation.

White Nanny, who had been standing not far away, walked over to Qingfeng Ziyun’s side. "Ziyun, I just discussed with the Third Elder. I think we should go take a look at the City Lord Mansion."

"The City Lord Mansion?"

Qingfeng Ziyun and Wu Ying, who was standing beside her, both narrowed their eyes.

Coastal City was under the Wu Family’s administration. The Wu Family’s Third Master Wu Zhanhai and Wu Ying’s grandmother, the old Matriarch Ziyun Teng, both lived in the City Lord Mansion.

These past few days, the siblings Qingfeng had been searching Coastal City, something Wu Zhanhai must be perfectly clear on, yet he hadn’t said a word. That was giving face to the Regent King and Five Poison Valley.

But if they went to search the City Lord Mansion, that would be a slap in the Wu Family’s face.

As the Wu Family’s daughter-in-law, even though Qingfeng Ziyun was strong-willed, when it came to searching the City Lord Mansion she still had to think it through carefully.

"Ziyun, we can’t agree to this. If we take people to search the City Lord Mansion, my Third Uncle will chop me to pieces."

Seeing Qingfeng Ziyun remain silent, Wu Ying spoke anxiously.

"Second Young Master, rest assured. For the sake of our Five Poison Valley, the Wu Family’s Third Master won’t do anything to you. Zi Yan died an unjust death; we must seek justice for her. Right now, the only place we haven’t searched is the City Lord Mansion."

White Nanny’s eyes were bloodshot. She and Zi Yan’s birth mother had followed Qingfeng Ziyun all these years.

White Nanny knew very well that Zi Yan actually looked down on Qingfeng Ziyun. In Zi Yan’s eyes, a piece of trash like Qingfeng Ziyun—who had relied on her Family and her ancestors’ favor to get the resources to cultivate up to the Foundation Establishment Stage—wasn’t worth mentioning.

Yet Zi Yan and White Nanny still had no choice but to remain by Qingfeng Ziyun’s side. After all, Qingfeng Ziyun and her daughter were extremely important to Five Poison Valley.

"White Nanny, we’re also very grieved by Senior Sister Zi Yan’s death. But when it comes to searching the City Lord Mansion, we still need to take the long view."

Seeing anger rise on Wu Ying’s face, Qingfeng Ziyun coughed lightly and looked at White Nanny.

Dissatisfaction flashed across White Nanny’s eyes. "Ziyun, this old servant and Zi Yan have protected you for so many years. Zi Yan’s body is hardly cold, and you can’t bend the rules just once for her?"

"Alright, White Nanny. Let’s handle this the way Ziyun said. As for the City Lord Mansion, this old crone will go pay Lady Ziyun Teng a visit. I believe the Wu Family wouldn’t raise a tiger only to invite disaster."

The green-haired old crone, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly opened her mouth.

White Nanny looked at the green-haired old crone and hesitated. Unlike with Qingfeng Ziyun, this old crone was an Elder dispatched by Five Poison Valley.

Although her status couldn’t compare to the Five Elders of Five Poison Valley, she was still near the top of the Elder Council.

For such a Golden Core Stage Peak powerhouse to personally investigate, if Tang Ming was in the City Lord Mansion, he’d find it almost impossible to escape even with wings.

"This is your first time in Coastal City and you’re not familiar with the City Lord Mansion. I’ll accompany you."

White Nanny smiled as she walked to the green-haired old crone’s side.

The green-haired old crone nodded. "Very well. Ziyun, I’ll leave the city-wide search to you. No matter what, you must capture Tang Ming, and remember—alive."

The green-haired Ziyun nodded. For Five Poison Valley, Zi Yan’s fall wasn’t much. That kind of Dual Cultivation Poison Technique Tang Ming possessed was what they truly yearned for.

Wu Muchou had been in a foul mood recently. Tang Ming’s unannounced departure left her full of guilt. She felt everything was her fault.

If she hadn’t brought Tang Ming to Coastal City, if she hadn’t let Wu Hong entertain Tang Ming instead of staying by Tang Ming’s side herself, these things wouldn’t have happened.

These last few days, she’d been perfectly aware of how Wu Ying and Qingfeng Ziyun were hunting Tang Ming throughout Coastal City.

"Grandma, are you just going to watch Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law make a scene like this?"

Wu Muchou came to Ziyun Teng’s side.
