Chapter 158 Questions and Answers
The quiet, long silence made the atmosphere look too weird.

Tang Chengnian hesitated for a while, she wanted to think of a way to persuade Lian He.

A good idea that can convince Lian He, and even she can accept it, to reach a compromise between the two parties - in fact, she has thought of it a long time ago.However, should it be used as a bargaining chip? This is the reason why Tang Chengnian was silent for a long time.

But Lianhe has no patience.

"Are you going to hand me over to 'them'?"

Both Lian He and Tang Chengnian knew what "they" referred to.

"Do not."

Tang Chengnian's intuition made Tang Chengnian feel uneasy about the word "Tomorrow Tower". She felt that these three words gave her a sense of fear, although it was only a faint feeling, and, in the eyes of anyone - if they knew - in anyone's eyes, It's so weird to have this feeling.

But Tang Chengnian was willing to believe that she knew what happened the last time she felt this way.

So Tang Chengnian still chose the best way.

No matter for her or for Lian He, it was a good idea.

"Lianhe, I know your identity. You are not a maidservant of the Lu family, and you are not as servile as you show. You have a mysterious identity, but that mysterious identity is not a mystery to me. Because I already know."

Lian He just tilted her head, showing a contemptuous expression.

But she didn't know how obvious her slightly wandering eyes were.

Tang Chengnian just ignored this look calmly, she knew that if she broke the matter out of her mouth, she would offend the small-minded and weak-spirited spy girl, but now, offend Lian He?It's definitely not a good idea, especially if it's just to show how vicious his own mouth is.

"You are a secret agent of the Hu Yu royal family, and you are the spy sent by the Hu Yu royal family into the Lu residence."

"Oh?" Lian He's voice trembled. This was the second time she had heard the key phrase Hu Yu's royal family from Tang Chengnian's mouth, but her nervousness had obviously increased, "You want to use this to threaten me?"

"If you think that's a threat, so be it."

"I don't know why you made such a guess, but you can't prove it." Lian He began to look around, "The people of the Lu family won't believe you, and you will never understand what the people of the Lu family are thinking. What, they attack each other, each with their own ghosts, unless you put the evidence in front of you... No, even if you have the evidence, as long as they don't want to believe it, no one will talk to you."

"But as long as I point out your identity and let the people of the Lu family know that there is a possibility that you were sent by the Hu Yu royal family, then your mission will be considered a failure?" Tang Chengnian raised his eyebrows, Lian He answered her a long list of words, seemingly fearless, but on the contrary, too much talk can only show that Lianhe has begun to be afraid.

Just as Tang Chengnian deduced, Lian He's body began to tremble.

She tried her best not to look at Tang Chengnian: "You can try it."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Hey."

"Then you can look into my eyes and say."

Lian He was silent, probably as a protest.

Tang Chengnian laughed softly, she was right, absolutely right, the Hu Yu royal family never wanted people from the Lu family to cast their eyes on the royal family.

She didn't know what the royal family of Hu Yu was up to, and this was a topic she wanted to ask later, but she probably knew what those people were thinking and what they wanted from Lianhe.

Aha, I'm a genius at being a spy. ——Tang Chengnian shamelessly praised himself.

"What on earth do you want!...Why should I trust you?"

The former sentence is to vent, and the latter sentence is from the heart.

Tang Chengnian quickly made a judgment and evoked a devilish smile.

Frankly speaking, this kind of weird smile appeared on the face of a seven-year-old girl, it was just a natural thing—a natural little devil.

"Lian He, you can trust me, because I am not from the Lu family."

Our interests may not overlap.

Maybe it was this sentence that broke Lianhe's barrier. Of course, Tang Chengnian felt... This person has no barrier at all. All along, he probably just hugged his legs and mistakenly thought that he was protecting himself very well.

The frenzied change of favorability is an excellent embodiment of this.

"If the question you ask is not too much... I can answer you." Lian He said hesitantly.

"When the time comes, I will guarantee that no one from the Lu family will know your identity, and I will definitely keep it a secret." Tang Chengnian's tone became soft, full of the temptation of a psychiatrist when he seduces a patient into a dream.

"So, what can I get when I answer your question?" Lian He suddenly asked.

The eyes flashed suddenly and followed by a sly color.

It seemed that she hadn't been overwhelmed by anger and panic, she figured it out, and quickly made her request.

Of course Tang Chengnian understood what her unspoken request was. In fact, that was Tang Chengnian's prepared negotiating trump card.

"I'll let you go."

"Oh?"

"When you answer the question I want to know, then, to the people of the Lu family, you will always be just a suspicious person who suddenly disappeared, but they will never be able to learn your identity and background from me."

"You can't pass it on through others."

"...you are really smart."

"Promise?"

"That's not difficult." Tang Chengnian nodded.

"Can you swear by the way of heaven?"

"Yes." Tang Chengnian quickly replied without the slightest hesitation, "However, you have to swear that everything you answer me is true and comprehensive."

"Okay, I swear first, and then you have to follow my request." Lian He's tone was still wary, but she gave in.

"Yes." Tang Chengnian said monotonously.

"I, Lianhe, am willing to swear by the impermanent way of heaven that I will keep my promise, answer Tang Chengnian's doubts, never hide, and never deceive. Otherwise, my body will get the revenge I hate the most, and my soul will suffer the most from me. The torment of fear, endless, never-ending."

Then, Tang Chengnian immediately made an oath to his future and destiny according to Lianhe's request with the way of heaven.

"I, Tang Chengnian, am willing to swear by the impermanent way of heaven that I will always keep the secret of her identity for Lian He, never tell anyone else, and after I get the three questions I want to know, let her go, there is no trap, no deceit. Otherwise, I will face the punishment of heaven every time I break through the realm, my road ahead will be extremely bumpy, and anything that comes within my grasp may cause me to die."

After she finished speaking solemnly, she felt a ripple in her heart.

"That's right." Lian He listened carefully, and finally nodded.

"You are really vicious."

"I just want to survive." Lian He narrowed her eyes with a smile, making Tang Chengnian see a gleam of brilliance from her cheeks which was rare.

The last time she saw this kind of brilliance, from whose face was it?
"There's a red cloud in the sky, maybe orange...that's dusk."

Ah, line 39.

A strange being raised by the Mingyue Cliff Sect—the most apt word she could think of—people.

A spy, a man who is kept.

From a certain point of view, it is a sad lineage.

Then Lian He frowned: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes. If you want to ask something, just say it."

"En." Tang Chengnian quickly lowered his head, concealed his gaze a little, and finally raised it.

Xing 39 and Lianhe are not the same people.

Certainly not all the way.

Hmm...Maybe it's not the same person?

Oh she couldn't go on thinking about it.

"The reason they sent you to the Lu Mansion. Is it for you to get something, or what to do here?" Tang Chengnian sat down in front of Lian He, and she easily tapped the floor with her index finger, drawing almost unconsciously. Make a small circle, "For example, sow discord between the Lu family and the Yuan family."

"You have so many questions."

"This is only one." Tang Chengnian raised his eyebrows, not caring at all how underwhelming he looked, "I have to cherish it."

"Okay, let me say..." Lian He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Remember not to lie to me, and answer my question completely." Tang Chengnian interrupted.

Lian He gave Tang Chengnian an angry look, but she didn't realize how popular such a look was.

That kind of breath that belongs to human beings.

"Your guess is correct. One of the tasks I undertake is to provoke the relationship between the Lu and Yuan families. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. Moreover, the person who provoked the discord between the two families has nothing to do with me. , no one will doubt me." Lian He herself was a little unbelievable, "The main task they gave me was to investigate the background of the Lu family."

"The background of the Lu family?"

"For example... someone behind the Lu family is secretly manipulating, or providing him with protection."

"There is someone behind the Lu family?" Tang Chengnian asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"Is that a question?"

"Uh...not counting." Tang Chengnian shook his head, "Since the royal family of Hu Yu has such a guess, there must be a range, right?"

"It's a mysterious force that has just risen recently, Tomorrow House."

"Tomorrow building?"

Tang Chengnian's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that the answer to the sense of crisis that she always wanted to know would come so soon.

"Why, do you know something about it?"

"No." Tang Chengnian couldn't possibly answer her wholeheartedly.

Lian He knew what Tang Chengnian was thinking at a glance, she snorted: "I'm not interested in your secret either."

"The royal family of Hu Yu sent you here to investigate whether Tomorrow Building is the 'background' of the Lu family. If there is a chance, you can also provoke the relationship between the Lu and Yuan families, right?" Tang Chengnian tried to integrate Lian He's After listening to the explanation, Lian He nodded and added, "Apart from that, is there anything else you need to do in the Lu family?"
