The corpse of Fang Fei, stained with fresh blood on the floor, was quickly cleaned up.

However, the strong smell of blood still lingered in the air.

This smell made Tang Tian feel very uncomfortable.

It wasn't because of Fang Fei's death, but because of Lu Changge's attitude.

Although Lu Changge had always been polite to him since they first met, in secret, he had always targeted Tang Tian.

First, he tried to win him over by exposing Fang Fei's conspiracy to gain his favor.

When Tang Tian didn't appreciate it, he brought up his childhood friend Lin Yue, and then had Fang Fei killed right in front of him.

This was a demonstration.

The message conveyed was that Lu Changge, in the place of the Young Master Yun Kong, could arbitrarily decide someone's life or death.

Tang Tian didn't like feeling restrained by others.

But Lu Changge didn't notice Tang Tian's change and smiled, saying, "I remember you and Lin Yue were once very close childhood friends, right?"

Tang Tian frowned and stood up directly.

"Lu Changge, I don't know what you want from me today."

"But I want to tell you that Lin Yue and I have long severed ties, we have gone our separate ways and have no contact whatsoever."

"As for Fang Fei, I have never regarded her highly."

"No matter who she eventually clings to."

He said indifferently.

Lu Changge was momentarily taken aback, seemingly surprised by Tang Tian's unexpected reaction and attitude.

"Tang Tian, are you really so heartless?"

"After all, you've known each other for so long."

Lu Changge laughed.

Tang Tian waved his hand. "That's my own business."

"If you have something else to talk to me about, just say it."

"If not, I'll take my leave."

"Lin Yue and Fang Fei, you can handle them however you want, it has nothing to do with me."

He didn't want to waste any more time with Lu Changge.

Lu Changge looked quietly at Tang Tian, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, had a complicated expression. It seemed that she didn't expect Tang Tian to completely cut ties with her.

Wasn't he the one who had worked so hard and sacrificed his own future for her?

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll be direct."

In the end, Lu Changge abandoned his false pretenses and resumed his indifferent demeanor.

"Do you know what the main purpose of achievements is?"

Lu Changge asked.

Tang Tian answered, "To be promoted to the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion."

Lu Changge shook his finger.

"No, the greatest purpose of achievements is power."

"As long as you have enough achievements, you can have enough status within the Qingyue Sect."

"From managing disciples and departments to becoming the master of a peak, it's all closely related to achievements."

"And even... after meeting some strict conditions, you can be above everyone else!"

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow.

Indeed, this was something he didn't know.

But... so what?

"What's next?"

Tang Tian asked.

Lu Changge smiled, "Some people within the sect have actually already met all the requirements to be promoted to the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion."

"But guess why we're still staying here?"

Tang Tian remained silent.

Some people, referring to the five young masters including Lu Changge, and the two young ladies.

Indeed, with their wealth and influence, it would be easy for them to meet the two requirements for promotion to the Heavenly Mansion.

So, combining what he had said before, it meant that their goal was that position.

To be above everyone else.

Equivalent to the entire Qingyue Gate, it is within their sphere of influence.

"I understand."

Tang Tian said, "But what does that have to do with me?"

Lu Changge shook his head and said, "Perhaps your purpose is not related to this, but the financial power you have displayed cannot be easily ignored."

"A dozen pieces of Innate Dao Jade, even for the few of us, may not be easily taken out at once."

"So... I hope that in the future, even if you cannot stand on my side, you will not become an obstacle on my path."

After listening, Tang Tian finally understood Lu Changge's thoughts.

In fact, it was similar to what he understood, just a way of pulling him in, using some other things.

And Tang Tian didn't like these things.

"I'm sorry."

Tang Tian said calmly, "I will make my own decisions regarding my matters, so you don't need to worry about it, Young Master Lu."

"If you want to use Fang Fei and Lin Yue to disrupt my plans, then I can only say that you have miscalculated."

He didn't hide it and directly exposed Lu Changge's intentions.

Lu Changge looked at Tang Tian quietly, and after a long time, he smiled, "I did underestimate you indeed."

Saying that, he turned and sat back in his seat, sighing, "You also know that it is very frustrating when subordinates fail to accomplish their tasks."

"They actually told me that you are a debauched and pleasure-seeking playboy."

"Tsk tsk... I apologize for the embarrassment."

Tang Tian remained silent.

Being debauched and pleasure-seeking was actually false information deliberately displayed by him, and he even let Li Hong spread some of it.

He did this to create a deviation in other people's judgment of him, leading them astray.

It seems to have worked today.

Lu Changge was a person with deep schemes and many methods. If he knew what the real Tang Tian was like, he would definitely not use Fang Fei and Lin Yue to make a move. Who knows what he would do.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Tang Tian said.

Lu Changge smiled and, at some point, had a brand new fan in his hand again.

"Since you're here, why be in such a hurry?"

"By the way, you have risen too quickly. Before this, I had no idea that such a person as you existed."

"Take this opportunity, why don't we have a good chat and let me get to know you better?"

These words sounded like an invitation, but Lu Changge's tone was unquestionable.

Tang Tian narrowed his eyes, "Are you trying to force me to stay?"

Lu Changge shrugged slightly, "I think it would be a good thing."

"Of course, it all depends on your choice."

"You can choose to stay, or... be forced to stay."

Tang Tian laughed immediately.

Soft tactics won't work, are you going to use hard tactics now?

But unfortunately, he was a stubborn person who wouldn't yield to either soft or hard tactics.

If you make me unhappy, don't expect to be happy yourself.

"You can try to keep me."

"Xiao Xue, let's go."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Lu Changge's fan paused for a moment, and several powerful individuals immediately stepped forward, blocking Tang Tian's path.

But Tang Tian was already mentally prepared. Dozens of different powerful spiritual objects were already prepared, with attack, defense, and teleportation capabilities, all at the level of Transcending Tribulation cultivators.

If the situation turned unfavorable, he was ready to welcome a brilliant fireworks display.

He didn't even slow down, walking straight towards the door.

Lu Changge squinted his eyes, watching Tang Tian getting closer to his subordinates.

Conflict was about to erupt.

But just then, a cultivator rushed in anxiously and shouted, "Young Master Lu, Mo-"

Before he could finish, a violent aura burst in from outside, directly sending some people standing at the door flying. If it weren't for Tang Tian's quick reaction, they would have suffered as well.

Following that, a tall woman in a black dress with a cold face walked in.

"Lu Changge, are you trying to die?"

It was none other than Nanfeng Mo Xiaoxiao.
