Chapter 13: a bolt from the blue

"Tomorrow, we will set up an assessment site here, set up a knockout match, and only admit the last three! I hope the two can temporarily let go of the hatred in their hearts. If they are injured now, it will be a little disadvantageous for the assessment tomorrow!"
The Seventh Elder of the Heavenly Star Saint Sect said, and then smiled at the two of them, then turned and left.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden commotion, and everyone blew up the pot again.
Qin Yueshuang stood on the martial arts stage for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about writing something. But there was a hint of excitement deep in her eyes.
"Tomorrow, if you dare to come for the assessment, I will definitely kill you!" Qin Yueshuang said cruelly, and when she thought of Tang Ao's smirk that called her torn shoes, her eyes would breathe fire.
However, for the sake of safety, she still chose a truce.
"Fight again tomorrow!" Tang Ao didn't say much, turned and left, but the meaning was clear.
"Huh!" Looking at his back disappearing from the crowd, Qin Yueshuang's beautiful cheeks looked a little cold. Following Qin Xinghuo's group of people, she also disappeared into the distance of the street.
This battle has ended!
Although very exciting, but did not see a real ending. Everyone felt a little regretful.
However, when they think that tomorrow's sect assessment will be more exciting than it is now, they are full of expectations.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and in just half an hour, the news that several big sects came to Qingshi City to recruit talents had spread all over the streets and alleys.
"Haha, cool! Brother Tang didn't lose that torn shoe. I, Nangongxue, am happy for you!"
In the private room of a restaurant, Tang Aozheng and Fatty Nangong talked about the wine and had a good conversation.
But the two Nangongxue attendants were called to an inn by him, waiting for him to return.
"By the way, Brother Tang, I heard that the reason why the girl from the Qin family was able to awaken the Destiny Lagerstroemia Dao body was because of the destiny stone you gave me?" Nangong Xue looked at him strangely in her eyes.
Tang Ao nodded, but looked very calm. But thinking about it carefully, he felt it was a pity. Although the Destiny Stone was useless to him, he was still a little unwilling to think of Qin Yueshuang's income.
However, at this point, Qin Yueshuang is now fully integrated with the Destiny Stone, and it is impossible to get it back. Even if you kill her, the life stone will disappear with her that day.
"Brother Tang is really generous!" Nangong Xue smiled, but it is not difficult to see that there is a hint of irony in his words.
Tang Ao shook his head, but had no choice but to smile.
"I heard that there have been some wars in the outer battlefield in recent days. Our family also happens to have a batch of goods that need to be transported there. I hope nothing will happen!" Nangongxue poured the wine by herself and said after drinking.
Tang Ao moved his heart and asked, "Outside the region? Those regions that have no country?"
Nangongxue nodded and explained: "The Xuanhuang Continent is so big that it is difficult for a mortal to reach the end in his life. If you don't borrow the space teleportation array, even a monk who can travel from the sky will have to spend his entire life. Go to the end."
"The mainland is too vast, but our population is not that large, so there are many regions that have no scope of belonging, and it can be regarded as a three-regardless zone, and wars have occurred throughout the year."
Tang Ao nodded, he knew nothing more about Xuanhuang Continent. The difference is that some belonging to his time no longer exist now.
Time is the most merciless, and the years have changed, erasing one after another, the beauty of beauty has turned into white bones, and Tianjiao has turned into loess.
The two talked for a long time, and Tang Ao also understood the influence of the Nangong family more deeply. This not only surprised him.
The Nangong family is not only one of the richest business families on the mainland, but their funds can also be compared to a small country on the Xuanhuang Continent, which is really amazing.
Moreover, they also have the most well-known intelligence network on the mainland, spread across the five domains. Even some outsiders have their eyeliner.
Although they are not a family of martial arts, this kind of background is definitely not something that ordinary forces can invade!
"Brother Tang, what are your plans? Will you participate in the assessment tomorrow?" Nangongxue asked.
Tang Ao thought for a moment, and finally nodded, and said, "If I can pass the assessment, maybe I will join the Seven Kill Sect!"
Although Fatty Nangong seemed careless, he was very shrewd. He came from a business family, so how could he not have any scheming.
As if seeing what Tang Ao was thinking, Nangongxue smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Brother Tang is not going for the Seven Kills formula, right?"
Tang Ao was shocked. Although the Seven Kills formula was not an unknown secret, he was still a little surprised that Nangong Xue could guess his mind so quickly.
Nodded, Tang Ao didn't explain much, and began to eat food.
Until the evening, the two slowly walked out of the restaurant and came to the street. They were about to part with each other when suddenly a figure rushed over.
At a glance, the visitor was one of Nangongxue's attendants.
After seeing Nangongxue walking out of the restaurant, the waiter hurriedly walked to his side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left.
"What's wrong with Brother Nangong?" Tang Ao asked, and found that Nangongxue's eyes looked a little strange.
"Brother Tang, can my father be in the city?" Nangongxue suddenly asked such an inexplicable sentence.
Tang Ao was taken aback for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, an unknown feeling surged into his mind.
"You have to be psychologically prepared!" Nangongxue looked at Tang Ao with complicated eyes, and then said: "Just now there was news from the family that our shipment was delivered safely, but they also sent another news. "
Tang Ao didn't speak, waiting for Nangongxue to continue speaking, at the same time the haze in his heart became more gloomy.
"The lord of Bluestone City, he was ambushed in an extraterritorial battlefield, his life and death are unknown!" Nangongxue said. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they also know a little about their family background.
"boom!"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Tang Ao was unstable, and his eyes were dark, almost falling to the ground.
At this moment, he thought of something, fragments of fragments of memory began to piece together.
"It turns out that Uncle Fu knew it a long time ago." Tang Ao said to himself, his voice trembling. He thought of going to the Qin's house alone when Qin Wudao suddenly had no scruples and ordered himself to kill.
He also thought about the scene of a group of soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion lined up neatly and disappeared at the gate of the city a few days ago.
"Brother Tang, are you okay?" Seeing Tang Ao look like this, Nangongxue not only sighed, she offered condolences.
Tang Ao was a little lost, instinctively greeted Nangongxue, turned around and left in a muddled manner.
"Father is dead... Father is dead..."
Along the way, Tang Ao only had such a sentence in his heart, until he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion sometime before he slowly woke up.
"Master, you are back!" From a distance, Uncle Fu came to greet him.
Tang Ao looked up. Suddenly, he found that Uncle Fu seemed to have become much older these days, his gray hair was thicker, and a pair of bruises under his eyes, indicating that he had not fallen asleep for a few days.
"Uncle Fu, where's father?" Tang Ao's voice was a little hoarse, and there was no brilliance in his eyes, and he looked at Uncle Fu blankly.
Hearing this, Fu Bo's body was shocked. After a long time, his eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Master, you all know..."
Tang Ao was silent, and Fubo's expression had already told him that all this was true!
