"Tian Feng, actually, is a member of my Lu family..."

In the end, Du Yuanqing chose to compromise and told Tang Tian about what happened before.

As the legitimate heir of the powerful Du family, Du Yuanqing was pushed into Qingyue Gate and became the Young Master of Xifeng. His responsibility was to create a favorable environment for the family within Qingyue Gate, so that the Du family's descendants could have better resources after entering the sect.

Many people did the same.

For example, Jing Heng, Guan Meng, and Chen Sirou, the other daughter of Nanfeng, all became the Young Masters of Qingyue Gate with the support of their own families or forces.

Therefore, Du Yuanqing didn't have any thoughts about being the second in command.

He knew his own worth and that he was not on the same level as those few guys who came down from Tianfu.

However, a few days ago, Tian Feng found him.

Tian Feng told Du Yuanqing that the family was not very satisfied with his achievements in Qingyue Gate, so they wanted to choose another more outstanding legitimate heir to replace his position.

Du Yuanqing couldn't tolerate this!

Being a Young Master was so enjoyable, with power, fame, money, and women, everything one could desire. If he were really replaced, everything would be gone.

Du Yuanqing became anxious and wanted to go back and talk to his father, the family head.

But at this time, Tian Feng gave him another idea.

The equity distribution conference of Tengyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Tian Feng told me that if I can get a considerable share in the equity conference, I will have bargaining chips."

"At that time, the three main competitors won't give me a hard time, but instead, they will build a good relationship with me."

"In this way, my own position will be secure."

"Then, I will choose the person with the most hope of obtaining that position, use the equity as a pledge, stand firm, and never fear anyone again..."

Du Yuanqing said.

Tang Tian remained silent.

This speech was full of loopholes, and with careful consideration, one could see how many problems there were. Couldn't Du Yuanqing see it?

No, perhaps he knew the risks involved, but he still chose to take a gamble.

If he won, he would have no worries from then on.

But if he lost...

Looking at his current state, it was clear that he had lost all his strength, his eyes devoid of spirit.

"Without Tian Feng's channel, the little equity I have in my hands is useless."

"Although I only managed to grab less than five hundred trillion yuan of equity in the end due to the competition with you and Tian Yangsheng."

"But that's the family's money. If it's really investigated, I..."

"I'll be completely finished."

Du Yuanqing said anxiously.

Tang Tian quietly looked at him, Du Yuanqing's fate had nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to know who was manipulating things behind the scenes.

Now it seemed that Du Yuanqing was not directly instructed by Lu Changge, which meant that Mo Xiaoxiao, Du Yuanqing, and even Tian Yangsheng were all suspects.

Tang Tian never underestimated the means and scheming of these people.

After a moment of silence, Tang Tian asked a question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Why did you intentionally antagonize me by choosing Tang Tianfeng?"

This was the thing he least understood.

However, after hearing this question, Du Yuanqing raised his head in confusion, "Antagonize you?"

"I didn't, did I?"

"I didn't even know that you and Tang Tianfeng knew each other before."

Tang Tian sighed softly.

Indeed, in this plan, Du Yuanqing was just a pawn.

The most crucial point of the matter still fell on Tian Feng.

But unfortunately, Tian Feng had already disappeared.

And Tang Tian had reason to suspect that, given that person's style of doing things, Tian Feng was very likely no longer in this world.

"This is really annoying."

Rubbing his temples, Tang Tian walked up to Chi Yuan.

He didn't want to get involved in this conflict, but the reality was that once you stood in this position, no matter what, conflicts would actively seek you out.

"I really hate those who hide and scheme."

"If you have the guts, come out and fight. Why make it so complicated?"

Chi Yuan's face was full of disgust.

He, too, had once been the biggest victim of power struggles.

Tang Tian shook his head and said, "Brother, this conflict has reached its final stage. I would like to ask you to keep a close eye on the situation outside recently."

"If there are any movements, please inform me in a timely manner."

Chi Yuan waved his hand and said, "No problem, it's a small matter."

"But Lao Jin, don't you really want to compete for that position?"

"I still have some connections in the sect. If you want, I can at least compete on equal footing with those few."

He was a figure of the ancestral level who had participated in the founding of Qingyue Gate, so his network of contacts went without saying.

If Tang Tian had Chi Yuan's support, he would indeed have a good chance.

But Tang Tian still shook his head.

"I'm really not interested."

"To put it plainly, being an honorary disciple is just a skin I wear. What I value most is always my own strength."

"If it's convenient, I'll do it, but if it requires me to spend time and energy on it, then forget it."

Chi Yuan knew what Tang Tian had been doing recently and knew his character and true strength, so he wasn't surprised by this answer.

He laughed and said, "Actually, over the years, what I fear the most is not those who are extremely cunning and full of schemes."

"What I fear the most is someone like you, who doesn't show their true strength on ordinary days."

"And when the critical moment comes, they suddenly become as fierce as a prehistoric beast."

"People with deep schemes can be guarded against, but someone like you, it's impossible to know where to start guarding. You can't guard against every seemingly harmless person, can you?"

Tang Tian smiled and didn't say anything.

He just felt that he was still too weak now, and there was no need to come out.

Isn't it good to be the sixth brother?

After chatting for a while, Tang Tian decided to put this matter aside for now and let Chi Yuan continue to pay attention to the upcoming developments.

Then, he prepared to leave Gu Li City and return to Qingyue Gate.

As for Du Yuanqing, this guy probably wouldn't be the young master of Xifeng for much longer, so there was no need to continue entangling with him.

After a simple farewell, Tang Tian turned and walked away.

But suddenly, three very strange figures appeared in his field of vision, walking towards him.

The appearance of these three people made Tang Tian inexplicably feel a sense of unease.

Subconsciously, he looked at the faces of the three.

However, what he didn't expect was that the three didn't intentionally hide their faces, but he couldn't see anything, just a blur, as if there was an invisible presence shielding them.

"Buzz~"

A roar suddenly appeared in Tang Tian's mind, causing even his soul to tremble.

Fortunately, his life source was extremely powerful, and soon a clear stream emerged, stabilizing his soul.

But in just that instant, the three mysterious individuals had already arrived in front of him. They raised their hands at the same time, emitting a terrifying aura that made Tang Tian's hair stand on end.

"Be careful!!"

Chi Yuan beside him suddenly shouted loudly, his half-step immortal's aura bursting forth, protecting Tang Tian inside, forcibly moving his body.

At the same time, a brilliant light rapidly expanded in Tang Tian's field of vision, a terrifying power that made his soul tremble, brushing past him.

"Boom!"

The overwhelming energy instantly destroyed the entire pavilion.

Even though Tang Tian was protected by Chi Yuan, he still suffered a strong impact, and for a moment, his blood surged as he flew out together with Chi Yuan.

And in that moment of being thrown away, Tang Tian could see with the corner of his eye.

The true target of this terrifying attack.

It was where Du Yuanqing was!
