My Co-renting Lady Boss

"Tang Ming, since General Lu wants to search, then just let General Lu search. I think, if nothing is found, Old Chu will give you an explanation."

Han Ya’s voice rang out from outside the room.

The people in the room hurried out, and most of them fixed their eyes on the thin old man standing beside Han Ya.

The old man wasn’t tall, but his eyes were extremely bright. Tang Ming felt that his body was like a vortex, constantly absorbing the surrounding Immortal Energy and pouring it into his body.

Moreover, this also made it so that no one could sense his current level of strength.

If Gehou hadn’t told Tang Ming that this Chu Family’s old ancestor Chu Li actually cultivated a Demon Cultivator’s Cultivation Technique, Tang Ming wouldn’t have dared to rashly assert this.

"Yes, since Hall Master Tang doesn’t think that assassin is in your residence, why not let General Lu conduct a search? You must know, General Lu is the General responsible for the security of Tianpo City."

The corners of Chu Li’s mouth lifted slightly as he looked at Tang Ming, a strange smile hanging on his face.

Tang Ming’s eyebrows twitched; he did not look very pleased. But when his gaze fell on Mu Ta, he actually discovered that both Mu Ta and Tian Huansheng had chosen to remain silent at this moment.

Tang Ming nodded. "Since all of you are saying so, then General Lu, go ahead and conduct your search."

Tang Ming turned around, took a stool from the room, and sat down in the courtyard.

Since the three giants of Tianpo were giving him no face, he simply wouldn’t give these three any face either.

Thus, something strange happened in the Tang Family’s residence. Everyone from the medical hall stood behind Tang Ming, while the three giants of Tianpo stood beside Chu Li. In the entire courtyard, only Tang Ming, holding Lan Yanyou in his arms, sat on a stool.

Lu Zhuang was extremely awkward, and his gaze fell on Chu Li.

Chu Li gave a cold snort. "Search. Find that assassin for me."

Chu Li actually didn’t want to do this either, but the fact that he cultivated a Demon Technique had to be kept secret. After all, Demon Cultivators of the Other Shore Demon Path weren’t just enemies of Cultivators, they were also enemies of Demon Cultivators.

With Chu Li’s words, Lu Zhuang nodded. With a wave of his hand, the garrison troops of Tianpo City who had followed him rushed swiftly toward Tang Ming’s residence.

In no time, the entire residence was searched from top to bottom. With Chu Family Elders accompanying them, every place was thoroughly searched; even Tang Ming’s own room was not spared.

"Reporting to General, nothing."

"Reporting to General, nothing."

"Reporting to General, nothing."

"Reporting to General, there’s a room here with a Formation. We can’t get in."

A garrison soldier’s voice made an expression of delight appear on Lu Zhuang’s face; his gaze fell on Tang Ming.

After all, those previous reports of "nothing" had made cold sweat stream down his back. This time it was truly a case of succeed or die.

He, Lu Zhuang, had come to search Tang Ming’s residence without notifying Tian Huansheng, which already violated the garrison’s regulations.

If it weren’t for the Chu Family’s old ancestor standing here to hold down the fort, the three giants of Tianpo would probably have exploded long ago.

"Hall Master Tang Ming, please explain to us why you’ve set up a Formation in that room. This seems to be a violation of Tianpo City’s regulations."

Lu Zhuang coughed lightly, then looked at Tang Ming as he spoke.

"Since General Lu is so keen to know, I’ll just take everyone over to have a look. If you all feel that my residence is unworthy of having that Formation set up, then I’ll trouble General Lu to help me dismantle it."

Tang Ming didn’t say much more. He stood up and walked toward the side courtyard.

Chu Li’s pupils contracted, and his eyelids twitched violently a few times. For some reason, he felt that something seemed off.

Tang Ming didn’t make any small moves; he walked directly to the Alchemy Room.

Seeing the Alchemy Room, the expressions of the three giants of Tianpo all turned strange. They knew this was the Alchemy Room.

However, this Alchemy Room that the Hall Master of the medical hall had set up in his home was considered a secret of Tianpo City.

After all, Alchemy required quiet. Elixir Powder was also a very precious source of revenue.

So this matter was known only to the three giants of Tianpo and the people in the medical hall.

Tang Ming stretched out his hand and opened the Formation.

The doors of the Alchemy Room swung open. The Tianpo City garrison who had gone up to the entrance had originally wanted to rush in, but when they saw the empty room and the ground-fire furnace, they all stopped in place.

The Alchemy Room was extremely simple. To the side were a few racks holding Alchemy Furnaces, and in the middle was a ground-fire furnace.

In such a place, let alone hiding a person, even if you hid a fly, you could see it clearly from the doorway.

"This? What’s going on? Chu Ying, didn’t you say you were certain that the Black Skull assassin entered Hall Master Tang Ming’s residence?"

Lu Zhuang turned around and grabbed Elder Chu Ying by the collar.

Tian Huansheng gave a cold snort. "Enough. General Lu Zhuang, you’re dismissed from your post and will be reassigned. Hall Master Tang Ming, rest assured, I’ll give you an explanation for this matter."

As Tian Huansheng spoke, his gaze fell on Chu Li to the side.

Chu Li’s gaze swept over Chu Ying and Chu Kuang.

Seeing the bewildered look on Chu Ying’s face, his eyes narrowed. "Commander Tian, don’t be so hasty in making a judgment. I still trust Chu Ying greatly. His Spiritual Sense Detection Technique was taught by this old man. How about this: I’ll conduct another investigation of Hall Master Tang Ming’s residence with my Spiritual Sense. I wonder if Hall Master Tang Ming would agree?"

"Senior, this isn’t appropriate. I, Tang Ming, am not insignificant—I’m still the Hall Master of Tianpo City’s medical hall. Today, General Lu Zhuang searched my residence; he is the General responsible for Tianpo City’s security, so I’ll swallow this insult, as the days ahead are long. But what is your Chu Family worth? Yesterday you just hired people from Black Skull to come to my home and assassinate me. Today you’re framing Black Skull people for hiding in my house. Do you take me, Tang Ming, for a fool, and the entire populace of Tianpo City for fools as well?"

Tang Ming’s voice was very loud; the people gathered outside the courtyard all heard his words.

The incident of Black Skull’s people attempting to assassinate Tang Ming, only to have all the assassins of their Tianpo City branch wiped out and their corpses hung at the door of the Chu Family’s pharmacy, had not yet cooled down. Everyone in Tianpo City was still talking about it.

Now that Tang Ming simply brought it up directly, murmurs of discussion immediately arose from the crowd.

Han Ya’s face looked very unpleasant. Both Chu Li’s words and Tang Ming’s words were extremely grating to his ears.

"Senior Chu Li, we all respect you as an elder. I imagine you wouldn’t stoop to this kind of unreasonable pestering. To search for an assassin and have you personally make a move—that’s a bit of overkill, isn’t it?"

A mocking smile hung on Han Ya’s face.
