Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"My body is inconvenient. If you feel that one month is too long, I will meet you here in seven days." The woman said. Without waiting for the two to answer, she stood up and left the room. She walked to the door and stepped forward. Dun said.

"Oh, by the way, I met Tang Ning from the Qian Yizong in the market yesterday. I don't know if he showed up by chance or if he had another purpose. Anyway, be careful not to be followed and not notice."

Xun Wenxing and Wu Mengyuan looked at each other and frowned slightly. Tangning also appeared in Fangshi. Is it a coincidence? The two of them had a vague feeling of something bad in their hearts.

……………………

Tang Ning returned to the sect and sat cross-legged in the cave. Thinking back to her conversation with Xu Qian, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Mu Bei's alliance army was about to move south. Where would they go?

There is no doubt that an earth-shattering war is about to break out in Qinghai. With his cultivation level, he is not even qualified to be cannon fodder in a war of this level. Perhaps joining the Chamber of Commerce is really a good choice.

But he also expected Yi to meet Liu Ruhan. Besides, as the master of Xuande Hall of Qianyi Sect, he couldn't bear to ignore the sect and find a place to go alone, leaving his disciples to fend for themselves.

After thinking about it, his heart became heavier and heavier. After a long time, he sighed slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, the storage bag suddenly shook. He opened his eyes and checked with his consciousness. It turned out that it was Xiao Zhan who was making a fuss inside. She still kept her word. She had been staying in Xuan Teng for these days and never came out. At this moment, she must be He realized that he had returned to the cave but still couldn't get a signal from Tang Ning, so he issued a reminder out of dissatisfaction.

Tang Ning pointed towards it. The storage bag swelled in the wind, and the black vines fell from it. The figure of the girl in white came out, stretched out her hand, and said with a proud head: "Xiao Ningzi, give me the food quickly."

Tangning took out three bottles of Huang Yuandan in her hand and handed them to her: "I owe you seventy-eight pills. There are ninety pills here in total. Don't come to me again before you finish eating."

With a move of her hand, the girl in white took three bottles of Huang Yuandan in front of her, lifted the caps of the bottles, inspected them carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao Ningzi, why are you so stupid? You can't even count. You owed me these seventy-eight pills thirteen days ago. Now that thirteen days have passed, the total is ninety-one. Here are ninety pills. You You still owe me one. But I won’t argue with you. I will ask you for it next time.”

Tang Ning paused for a moment. The girl in white didn't care what he was thinking. After that, she walked out on her own. The black teng tree was floating behind her, only three feet away from her.

The stone door swung open and then closed with a creak.

……………………

On the remote and uninhabited mountain peak, a ray of light shot out, and a man with slightly white temples appeared. It was Xu Wenze, the deacon of the Intelligence Department. He looked around and saw no one around, so he crossed his legs behind a huge rock. And sit.

At night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, a ray of light came from the west and fell to the top of the peak, revealing a man with a fair complexion and regular features. He was none other than Ding Jianyang, the grandson-in-law of Zhu's parents.

"You're finally here. I haven't heard from you for so long. I thought you were unfortunately killed." Xu Wenze said in a sarcastic tone with a slight smile on his face.

"If you have anything to say, just say it! Why use such means." Ding Jianyang said expressionlessly.

"Is there something? Do I have to have something to ask you to come for a meeting? Ding Jianyang, don't forget your identity. If you still don't reply when we contact you next time, it will be more than a warning. I guarantee that the message you received the day before yesterday will be a warning." The note will appear on the desk of the leader of the Youmei Sect."

Ding Jianyang's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said calmly: "What do you need me to do?"

Xu Wenze said: "I have received news that the Youmei Sect has sent many groups of people to lobby various families in the Chu Kingdom in recent days. I heard that you are one of these people. Is this true?"

Ding Jianyang said: "This is Zheng Jiehuai's order. I don't know the specific reason."

Xu Wenze said: "Which cultivating families are ready to change their banners and turn to the Youmei Sect?"

"I don't know. The disciples who are ordered to lobby the Cultivation Family all act alone and do not interact with each other. They report individually."

"What about you? Which line do you belong to?"

"I am responsible for the Wang family's lobbying and instigating rebellion."

Xu Wenze smiled slightly: "It seems that Youmei Sect thinks highly of you, and actually let you be responsible for the most important target of rebellion."

Ding Jianyang said calmly: "They valued me as the son-in-law of Zhu Bochong, who married into the Zhu family. Zhu Bochong and Wang Xuanye had several contacts in the early years, so they asked me to visit Wang Xuanye as the son-in-law of the Ding family."

"How was your talk?"

"There has been no real progress. Wang Xuanye is a cautious person. I visited him in a private capacity and just chatted about daily matters. Whenever the situation in Xingang was brought up, he would change the subject before I could speak."

"How many times have you met him in total?"

"twice."

"Are they all in the mansion?"

"yes."

"When will we separate?"

"August 17th and October 9th."

"What is Zheng Jiehuai's attitude? What are the next steps to take? What conditions has the Youmei Sect offered to the Wang family?"

Xu Wenze cross-examined everything in detail, and the two talked for about half an hour.

"That's it for today! Let us know if you have any news at any time. Finally, I kindly remind you that when we need and contact you, it is best to reply to a letter, otherwise there may be you who I don't want to see. This is my last advice. No one will say this again next time. Just take care of yourself!"

Ding Jianyang said: "I heard that Tangning is now the master of Xuande Hall. I haven't seen him for many years. Could you please bring him a message for me to congratulate him on his promotion to this position? There is another thing I want to discuss with him. If he is interested, Meet here in ten days."

"What's the matter?" Xu Wenze frowned slightly.

"It's some personal matters of mine, and I want to ask him for a favor."

Xu Wenze glanced at him, without saying anything, the light flew up and headed southeast.

………………

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, irrigating the mother-of-pearl clams. When her consciousness noticed someone coming, he opened his eyes, waved his hand, and put away the mother-of-pearl clams on the stone table.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in," he said.

On the one hand, the big-eared man pushed open the door and came in, bowing and saluting: "Uncle, Senior Brother from the External Intelligence Department would like to see you."

"Invite him!"

"Yes." The man responded and left.

Mu Tiancheng went back to Mu Pingbo to observe mourning because his father was about to pass away, so Tang Ning transferred someone from the staff department to take charge.

Someone has to do the errands and the like.

About tea time, Xu Wenze came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Tang Ning waved her hand.

Xu Wenze sat down as he was told and said: "Disciple, I dare not bother you, but I have something to tell you. The former head of the Silver Fox Information Station, Junior Brother Wei Xian, has sent a letter to the headquarters department, saying that there has been no news from Ding Jianyang, the son-in-law of Zhu's parents, for several years."

"Recently, the intelligence station received news that the Youmei Sect has sent several groups of people to various places to lobby the cultivating families in various places. Ding Jianyang is one of them and is responsible for lobbying the Wang family in the Central Plains."

"Junior Brother Wei therefore sent him messages through contact channels many times, but he ignored him at all. Until a few months ago, Junior Brother Wei sent him a final warning, but there was still no reply. It is obvious that this person has intentionally escaped from our control."

"Junior Brother Wei proposes to give up on this person and hand over his details to the You Mei Sect, in order to deter other agents who are secretly harboring evil intentions."

"The disciple considered that this person is our deepest hidden high-level expert, and he is currently being valued by the Youmei Sect. He may be of great use in the future. It would be a pity to abandon him, so he sent him the last letter. It was a picture of him and When we contact each other, record the notes of the conversation.”

"Three days ago, I met with him in Fengxia County, Jiangdong. When we parted, he proposed to meet with you alone and asked for your help for personal matters."

After hearing this, Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged. She just nodded slightly, but she was a little confused. What could happen if Ding Jianyang wanted to see her?

Although he had interacted with him several times during his tenure as the head of the intelligence station, all his actions were sect affairs. There was no personal relationship between the two, let alone friends.

Now that he is in charge of the Xuande Hall, the affairs of the Intelligence Department are no longer within his scope of responsibility. Ding Jianyang asked him for help instead, which really surprised him.

He couldn't say he disliked Ding Jianyang, but his arrogance made him a little unhappy.

This person is ambitious and has a high self-esteem. Since the Zhu family fell to the Youmei Sect, his cultivation has been advancing rapidly, and he has now successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building.

Moreover, as the eldest son-in-law of Zhu Bochong, after joining the Youmei Sect, he was highly regarded by the leader of the Youmei Sect, Zheng Jiehuai, and he seemed to have become a bridge between the Youmei Sect and the Zhu family.

The fact that Zheng Jiehuai sent him to instigate rebellion against the Wang family shows how much he was valued.

Tang Ning knew that Ding Jianyang had long wanted to break away from the control of the Qian Yizong. To be more precise, from the beginning, he did not really want to fall to the sect. He just couldn't stand the humiliation Zhu Yunrou brought to him, and he was powerless. He hoped to avenge his shame with the help of Qian Yizong.

Deep down in his heart, he even felt that he and Qian Yizong were in an equal partnership.

But now, with the improvement of his cultivation and relying on the big tree of Youmei Sect, he is even more unwilling to be controlled by Qian Yizong.

What's more, Xu Wenze, the deacon of the Intelligence Department, was only in the middle stage of foundation building. He may have despised Xu Wenze from the bottom of his heart, so he showed an arrogant attitude and ignored the repeated warnings of the intelligence station.

Tangning thought for a while and then said slowly, "Where is the time and place?"

"Seven days later, at Millennium Peak in the east of Fengxia County."

Tang Ning nodded and did not dwell on the matter. She changed the topic and said, "I heard that you and Li Heng had several disputes during discussions? What were the specific matters?"

Xu Wenze smiled and said: "This is an exaggeration by outsiders. Junior Brother Zhao and I only have occasional disagreements, but the general direction is still the same. For example, we both support the sect's production expansion plan."

"Well, that's good. Unity is the first priority, so remember that!"

The two chatted for a while about the intelligence department, and Xu Wen left.
