Hearing the words 'bear cub', Tang Thirty-Six recalled Xuanyuan Po. He smiled, but it was rather sourer this time.
He was still in the Orthodox Academy, but he was already beginning to miss the people who were no longer in the Orthodox Academy, as well as his time in the Orthodox Academy.
This period of time had truly been beautiful beyond compare, worthy of reminiscence. It was a pity that tonight, once he left, he would never return.
”I understand,” he said to the Tang Second Master. ”I'll go with you.”
The Tang Second Master calmly gazed at him and gave another one of his silent laughs, his mouth gaping wide, his whole appearance rather comical.
After quite some time had passed, he finally restrained his smile. ”This is very good.”
With these four words, he took Tang Thirty-Six out the gates of the Orthodox Academy.
Zhexiu and the South Stream Temple disciples could do nothing but watch as their figures vanished into the darkness.
The Tang Second Master brought Tang Thirty-Six out of Hundred Flowers Lane onto the main street. An unmarked carriage was already waiting for them.
At this sight, the elite Imperial Guards monitoring the Orthodox Academy from the darkness grew slightly restless and then quickly calmed back down.
No matter if it was the Orthodoxy cavalry or the troops of the Imperial Court, they all acted like they did not see this carriage, did not see the Tang Second Master and Tang Thirty-Six boarding this carriage.
The Wenshui Tangs were just this terrifying of an existence.
Although on the surface, it seemed as if their power had not been able to penetrate into the capital for many years, in reality, they still possessed a nigh unimaginable influence.
Because the true item that could allow one to access godhood was not faith or strength, but money.
The carriage proceeded through the dark capital, its wheels imprinted with arrays making no sounds, whether they traveled across gray stone or red brick, seeming just like a ghost. Not even the Princess of Ping's flying carriage pulled along by pure white Pegasus across the sky was faster than this seemingly ordinary carriage.
The people within the carriage could not feel any bumps or jolts, yet it didn't feel at all comfortable to Tang Thirty-Six.
He asked, ”Just what does the clan want to do?”
The Tang Second Master replied, ”You'll find out soon.”
Because they were traveling too quickly, the wind lifted the curtains of the carriage. As Tang Thirty-Six watched the streets fly by and saw the tightly shut entrances of stores, he silently pondered.
In the deepest depths of a market, the carriage stopped. This place was the general assembly of the Heavenly Fragrance Market.
Before entering a door which led underground, Tang Thirty-Six stopped and asked the Tang Second Master, ”You want to take over the property the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets owns in the capital?”
The Tang Second Master slightly raised his brows, seemingly rather surprised that he was able to guess at the clan's true goal in such a short time.
”Even if the situation on the continent will be thrown into chaos, is the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets so easy to handle? What if the Elder of Heavenly Secrets comes to the capital?”
In order to deal with the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, one first had to resolve the problem that was the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
Even if the Tianhai Divine Empress invited the Elder of Heavenly Secrets to the capital to assist, for what reason did the Tang clan judge that the Elder of Heavenly Secrets would die?
It must be known that this elder who had the ability to clearly understand the heavenly secrets was also the head of the Storms of the Eight Directions.
”The Elder of Heavenly Secrets will not come to the capital.” The Tang Second Master walked into the gloomy underground path, not turning his head as he spoke. ”Because he is about to die.”
Tang Thirty-Six's just-raised foot once more fell back down as he fell into a state of absolute shock.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets was about to die? Why?
