Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"I want to see my grandson first." Huang Tingjian said

"Go and bring Huang Yaozu up!"

"Yes." Sun Jiayi responded, heading towards the underground bluestone steps. Not long after, he led Huang Yaozu there.

"Tai Gong." Huang Yaozu shouted, and he strode behind Huang Tingjian like a frightened rabbit: "Tai Gong, I did not collude with the Demon Sect. I didn't know he was a monk of the Demon Sect."

"I know, don't worry! It's okay." Huang Tingjian comforted him, his face full of love.

Tang Ning winked, and Sun Jiayi stepped forward: "Fellow Daoist Huang, let's go!"

"Yaozu, please be patient for a few days, and the Grand Council will take you home." Huang Tingjian said.

Huang Yaozu nodded and followed Sun Jiayi in three steps.

"How long will you be able to detain my grandson?" Huang Tingjian's expression changed.

"When we find out what happened and it turns out that there is no collusion with the Demon Sect, we will let him go," Tang Ning said calmly.

"No, I need a specific time, how long it will take for you to figure out the whole thing."

"Now, you have two choices. First, complain to the sect about the matter. Second, break into the intelligence station and kidnap Huang Yaozu. If you don't want to choose either of these two options, please wait patiently for a while, and we will get it done. I’ll let you know when it’s clear.”

"You..." Huang Tingjian paused and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'm waiting for your news."

After saying that, he walked away.

……………

At night, the lights in the Huang Mansion were brightly lit, and a group of people gathered in the main hall, talking among themselves.

"I think this matter is no accident. Tang Ning must be behind it. The person who ties the bell needs to be untied. Uncle, if we don't make peace with him, we are under the Qianyi Sect's territory after all, and he is the Qianyi Sect's territory." As a disciple of Yizong in power, it will not do us any good to quarrel with him. As the saying goes, if we are not afraid of being stolen, we are afraid of being missed. Once he targets us, there will always be something for him to catch." said a man.

"Brother Ping is right. I think his arrest of Yaozu was just a warning, and there might be bigger moves later. Since the matter stems from those two pieces of information, we might as well hand it over to him. Uncle, why bother to come to us with just a piece of information? The whole family is in danger," another man said.

Huang Tingjian was silent for a long time and sighed: "In that case, then give it to him!"

"It's best to find a middleman. It's best to ensure that after the things are handed over to him, he can be released immediately and stop causing trouble to us."

"Let Sun Jiayi pass the message on your behalf! He is the head of the intelligence station and the central figure in this matter. He is the right person."

"Sun Jiayi's cultivation level is too low, so he may not have much say in front of him."

Several people discussed each other one by one.

…………

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Sun Jiayi pushed the door open and walked in, bowing: "Uncle Master, Master Zhao Kang, the head of Jiangdong, sent his disciples here to meet Uncle Master."

Jiangdong’s chief Zhao Kang? What did he send people for? Could it be because of the Huang family's affairs? Tangning thought to herself, "Bring him here!"

"Yes." Sun Jiayi exited the door, and soon he led a big-eared man over.

"Disciple Xu Chuan has met Uncle Tang." The man saluted.

"Is there a problem?"

Xu Chuan turned his right hand and handed an invitation with both hands: "Uncle Zhao is hosting a dinner in the mansion today, and I specially invite Uncle Tang to the banquet."

Tangning accepted the invitation: "I understand, go ahead! I will definitely be there tonight."

"Disciple, please leave." Xu Chuan exited the room.

"What's the relationship between the Huang family and Senior Brother Zhao?" Tang Ning asked, flipping through the invitation.

"The Huang family is a local big family, so it is inevitable to deal with Master Uncle Zhao. We must have some friendship! But as for personal friendship, the disciples don't know about it. I haven't heard of how much they have contact in private. Is Uncle Zhao suspicious? The Huang family dragged Master Uncle Zhao to come. Affection?"

"Other than that, what else can happen? Haven't they looked for you?"

"Someone from the Huang family asked the disciple to inquire about some situations, but the disciple just refused to know."

"What are you asking about?"

"It's nothing more than Huang Yaozu's situation and the whole story."

"Do you think Huang Yaozu really colluded with the Demon Sect?"

"This..." Sun Jiayi said hesitantly: "From the disciple's point of view, the possibility of this matter is extremely small. At most, the Demon Sect wants to take advantage of him. Fortunately, the master uncle noticed it in time."

Tangning smiled and said nothing.

…………

At night, the lights in Chief Jiangdong's mansion were brightly lit, and Tang Ning's light flashed down and landed in front of the mansion. There were already two disciples waiting to greet him.

"Uncle Tang, please wait a moment while I go to report to Uncle Zhao." Xu Chuan saluted.

Tangning nodded.

Xu Chuan walked inside, and not long after, a ray of light came out, revealing the figure of a man with a broad forehead and broad face.

"Senior Brother Tang is here. It's hard to welcome him from afar." The man said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Zhao is welcome."

"Please come in quickly."

The two of them entered the courtyard room, and soon a maid brought fruits and vegetables, as well as fine wine.

"I've heard about Senior Brother Tang for a long time, and I'm so lucky to meet you today." Zhao Kang raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Tang Ning smiled and said: "Junior Brother Zhao invited me to a banquet this time, I guess it's not just for meeting! If you have something to say, please speak up, otherwise you will get drunk later and the words you said will not count."

Zhao Kang laughed: "Senior Brother Tang is quick to talk, so I will speak frankly. I heard that Senior Brother Tang detained Huang Yaozu, Huang Tingjian found me yesterday, hoping that I could say something nice in front of Senior Brother Tang, please show your respect to Senior Brother Tang. I know what happened It’s serious, so I didn’t agree. I invited Senior Brother Tang here today specifically to understand the situation. I wonder if Huang Yaozu is really colluding with the Demon Sect?”

"It's not certain yet. We need more evidence, which is still being collected."

"Does Senior Brother Tang think he has colluded with the Demon Sect?"

"It's hard to say. I have never met him before and am not very familiar with him. I can only say that he is suspicious. The disciples of the Demon Sect who traveled thousands of miles to Jiangdong must have a purpose to approach him. Maybe they have been there before. We have already contacted him, or we may have come here just to instigate him, but no one knows whether it was successful or not.”

"I have been in charge of Jiangdong for many years and know a little about Huang Yaozu. Senior Brother Tang, would you like to hear my opinion?"

"Junior Brother Zhao, please speak."

"Huang Yaozu is a playboy. Although he has good talents, he does not practice cultivation. To put it bluntly, these people are like a second generation ancestor who was born with a golden key. He is proud of his sensuality, and enjoys running around in the flower field. If he has ambitions Ambition, that’s not what it is. Why would a person with no ambitions collude with the Demon Sect? I think his nature will definitely not collude with the Demon Sect. At most, he will be used. "

Tangning remained silent and did not express her position.

Seeing this, Zhao Kang spoke again: "Senior Brother Tang, please tell me the truth. What conditions are needed to convict him or not?"

"First of all, we have to prove that what he said is not false. We are currently investigating him. Furthermore, if we catch the Demon Sect disciple, the interrogation will make it clear."

"What if we can't catch that Demon Sect disciple? After so many days, maybe he has escaped back to the Corpse Puppet Sect. In this case, should he be released?"

Tangning was about to answer the call.

Zhao Kang turned his left hand, took out a storage bag, and handed it to him: "This is what Taoist fellow Taoist Huang Tingjian asked me to hand over to you."

Tangning didn't pretend to refuse. She took the storage bag and looked inside, only to see a white cloth bag and a black bottle inside.

He took out the cloth bag and opened it. There was some dark yellow shiny powder piled inside, which was Huang Xuan powder.

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "If there is no conclusive evidence, of course the person will be released, and I will personally send him back to the Huang family."

"Okay, I hope Senior Brother Tang can find out the truth soon."

After three drinks, Tang Ning said goodbye and left.

Zhao Kang got up and saw him off at the door of the house. Seeing him disappear into the distance, he told Xu Chuan: "Go to Huang's house and say that the matter is settled."

"Yes." Xu Chuan responded.

The next day, Tang Ning came to the room where Huang Yaozu was being held.

"Senior Tang, have you found out? When can I go back?" Upon seeing Tang Ning, Huang Yaozu hurriedly asked.

Tangning smiled slightly: "You can go back now."

"Is it true?" Huang Yaozu was overjoyed and even couldn't believe it, so he asked subconsciously.

"Let's go! I'll take you back to Huang's house." Tangning tapped him a few times, injecting spiritual power into him and lifting the restrictions on him.

The two of them came out of the basement one after another. Tangning's spiritual power wrapped around him and he flew into the air. After walking for half a day, they arrived in front of the Huang family's house.

The two men came towards him, but before they could speak, Tang Ning said, "After our investigation, we found no evidence of Huang Yaozu colluding with the Demon Sect, and he is now being returned. Be more careful in the future and don't get too close to people of unknown origin." "

"Please follow the instructions." Huang Yaozu said.

"This is something for Ling Zu, please give it to him for me!" Tang Ning threw him a storage bag, then turned into light and left.

"Yaozu, I hope you come back safely." A man said

"Where's the Grandpa!"

"We are in the palace, go quickly!"

Huang Yaozu came straight to the palace and called out: "Tai Gong, I'm back."

Huang Tingjian opened his eyes with a look of kindness on his face, "It'll be nice to come back."

"By the way, Grandpa, this is what Tang Ning asked me to give you." Huang Yaozu handed him the storage bag.

"For me?" Huang Ting frowned slightly, Jian took it and took a look, only to see a crystal clear high-grade spiritual stone placed inside.
