Chapter 2205: Chapter 2205: The Ruse of Self-Injury (Part 3)
Tang Kun smiled bitterly: "If Keke wants, she can take my life anytime."
"The ’self-injury scheme’ is indeed one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems that is more effective," Yang Ruxin smiled, "However, no matter what, today you must hand over the Tang Sect."
Tang Kun frowned and looked at Tang Wanqian: "Master, the Tang Sect originally belongs to the Tang Family, but why give it to an outsider?"
"This is my decision," Tang Wanqian snorted coldly, "Since you say you haven’t done anything wrong, then hand the Tang Sect over to Xinxin; from now on, she will be the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect."
Tang Kun’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, but in the end, he relaxed: "Whatever Master says, your disciple will obey." He paused, "However, everyone has traveled to Shu Land from afar. Let’s eat and rest first. The handover is not that simple and requires choosing an auspicious day, right?"
"Agreed." Tang Wanqian did not argue further and sat down. Indeed, it was not simple. After all, he hadn’t returned for ten years and was not fully aware of the current situation in the sect. More importantly, there were still the Five Great Elders. Xinxin wanted to take control of the Tang Sect, but she had to gain their approval first. Thus, this matter really couldn’t be rushed.
But no matter whether the other party’s attitude was genuine or fake, he had to proceed and reclaim the Tang Sect.
The Poison Elder had come over to bandage Tang Kun’s hand.
Tang Kun acted as if nothing was wrong and continued to warmly entertain everyone.
Shu Land, with its rugged terrain, is vast and rich in resources. Like later times, Sichuan is a food paradise, so the Tang Sect prepared a very sumptuous meal, notably featuring chili peppers.
Of course, these chili peppers were cultivated by Yang Ruxin and then sold back by the Second Master of the Shu Family. Among the dishes, there was also "Boiled Sliced Pork," said to have been learned from Fuji.
Fuji is a Sichuan restaurant opened by the Second Master of the Shu Family after listening to Yang Ruxin’s suggestions and obtaining the recipes. It offers hotpot and stir-fried dishes, and it’s said that business has been booming since opening.
Since the food tasted good, everyone ate happily and was quite relaxed, not fearing any poison from the other side.
Although Yu Qingge did not inherit Yu Keke’s memories, returning to her birthplace subconsciously felt familiar. At least in terms of directions, she didn’t need anyone to guide her. She instinctively knew how to navigate.
"Sister, you need to stay with me tonight. I’m afraid of that Tang Kun." Yu Qingge looked at Yang Ruxin with a pleading face. Earlier, she must have had a lapse in judgment to attempt assassinating him.
Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng, although looking resentful, didn’t refuse. After all, that Tang Kun indeed behaved unusually, and among them, the weakest in combat ability was Yu Qingge.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Yu Qingge was delighted.
"We’ll be next door. Just call if anything happens." Gu Qingheng squeezed Yang Ruxin’s hand.
"Don’t worry." Yang Ruxin let Xiaolun wrap around Gu Qingheng’s wrist, "But do be careful. Who knows what tricks that guy is up to."
"Don’t worry." Gu Qingheng ruffled Yang Ruxin’s hair.
"Sister, this whole situation is too weird." Once inside the room, Yu Qingge’s nerves still weren’t at ease, "My heart is all over the place. The way that guy looks at me makes my scalp tingle."
