Chapter 1770

In Tang Xuance's study, the second uncle of the Tang family, Tang Xuanci, walked in right after Gu and Xu left.

"Third brother, that Chen brat is arrogant and doesn't know his place. Why did you treat him so politely just now? Aren't you afraid of weakening the Tang family's reputation?"

Since there was no one around, Tang Xuanci asked directly, not even addressing him as the family head.

The previous situation with Chen Yi had left him feeling extremely sullen. Chen Yi was arrogant, yet his younger brother, the head of the family, had repeatedly tolerated him. Even when he was disrespected, he didn't mind. Instead, he remained respectful. Chen Yi's attitude was too low.

He knew that Tang Xuance had a reputation for being virtuous, but if everyone treated him with respect, wouldn't everyone think that the Tang family was weak and easy to bully?

Tang Xuance naturally knew his brother's temperament. He smiled calmly. "Second brother, do you know Chen Yi's background?"

"Isn't he just an itinerant cultivator?" Tang Xuanci blurted out. Then, he realized something and asked, "Does he have some other background that I don't know about?"

Tang Xuance didn't say anything. He picked up a jade slip from the table and handed it to Tang Xuanci.

Tang Xuanci took the jade slip, opened it, and read it carefully. His expression gradually became gloomy.

The jade slip described in detail how the Tang siblings and Chen Yi got to know each other, including how they killed the assassin apprentices of Wang Xian Pavilion, and how Chen Yi and his partner, Yuan Jie, came in second and first place respectively in the Luo Gate assessment.

Tang Xuanci had actually heard about this, but he didn't know as much about it as the jade slip did.

"Even if the Pavilion of Innocence's killers are just apprentices, they aren't easy to deal with. As for the difficulty of the Luo Gate's test, everyone knows that. Chen Yi and his companions were able to obtain such impressive results, and Yuan Jie was even invited to the Sacred Island by the Great Prophet as an exception. This isn't something an ordinary independent cultivator can do. "

"I heard from a few guards who traveled with Chen Yi that he has many partners, all of whom look like experts. They're not easy to deal with."

Tang Xuanci, who was dissatisfied with Gu Chen, couldn't help but retort, "The Luo Gate is gone. So what if he has some talent in Fate Path? Just based on this, you don't have the qualifications to be my Tang Family's Revered Elder! As for how outstanding his companions were, what did that have to do with him? Didn't he come to our Tang Family alone to seek refuge with? From this, it can be seen that Yuan Jie and the others are not sworn friends with him! "

Tang Xuance could not help but shake his head and sigh. "People from the Shao Family stopped you two days ago. Is this true?"

"Yes, I did. What's wrong?" Tang Xuanci was stunned. He didn't understand why his third brother suddenly changed the topic.

"Shao Heyang and all his guards, including the Shao Family's Revered Elder Wei, are all dead. They were personally killed by Chen Yi." Tang Xuance's expression turned serious as he spoke in a low voice.

"What?" Tang Xuanci almost lost his voice, wondering if he had misheard.

He had heard about Shao Heyang's disappearance, but he didn't expect it to be related to Chen Yi!

Was that even possible? Putting that little brat Shao Heyang aside for now, Revered Elder Wei's strength was truly not weak, and he wasn't inferior to the two Revered Elders of the Tang Clan.

Coupled with the Shao Family's private army, such a powerful force had all been killed by Chen Yi?

"Did Chen Yi attack alone?" Tang Xuanci recalled the rumors about Chen Yi's extraordinary companions. If they had attacked together, then killing Shao Heyang's group would not have been so shocking.

"That's not it." Tang Xuanci's expression relaxed as he shook his head. He knew it. That kid didn't look like he was that capable.

"To be precise, other than Shao Heyang, who was killed on the spot by Chen Yi's bone shards, the others were torn to pieces by Chen Yi's mount."

Tang Xuanci's brain was overwhelmed by Tang Xuanci's sudden change in topic. "Mount? What mount? "

He recalled the draconic horse that Chen Yi rode into the city. He had seen it when he went to Chen Yi's courtyard today. Could Third Brother be talking about that draconic horse?

He carefully mulled over Tang Xuanci's words. His expression gradually changed, and fear appeared in his eyes. "Are you sure about this?"

"Jianqing saw it with his own eyes. It's absolutely true."

Tang Xuanci fell silent at Tang Xuanci's words. He could not recover for a moment.

Chen Yi's mount alone was so powerful. Even if Chen Yi did not have any real abilities, his background was definitely not simple!

Elder Wei was a Four-fold Realm expert. A draconic horse that could tear him apart was not something an ordinary person could possess!

"Are you sure about his background?" Tang Xuanci could not help but mutter softly.

"I just asked High Official Gu and analyzed the symptoms of him suddenly being unable to move when he attacked Chen Yi. He recalled a rumored dao technique." Tang Xuanci's eyes flashed.

"What dao technique?"

"The Fixed Body Art!"

Tang Xuanci was shocked by Tang Xuanci's words. "The Fixed Body Art. Doesn't the rumor say that it belongs to the famous Chen Clan? That's right, Chen Yi's surname is Chen! "

The disdain in Tang Xuanci's eyes and the indignation in his heart disappeared at this moment. If Chen Yi's identity was as he guessed, the Tang Clan could not afford to offend him!

"Third Brother, when did you find out about the Shao Clan? Why did you only tell me today? What if I offended that kid today? Wouldn't that be … "

Tang Xuanci was terrified, and he could not help but feel a little resentful.

He could tell that Tang Xuanci had not expressed his stance on the matter of Chen Yi becoming a high official for the past two days because he knew Tang Xuanci's temperament and wanted to use him to test Chen Yi!

In the end, Tang Xuanci got what he wanted. He had indeed figured out Chen Yi's background. It was no wonder he was so polite earlier and did not get angry even though he had been rejected.

He was the only one who had been kept in the dark and had a trip to the gates of hell!

"I'm sorry, Second Brother. This matter is too important. If I cannot confirm the other party's identity, I cannot take appropriate action.

"Even now, we cannot be sure that he is from the Chen Clan. The real trouble with him is not this.

"Not only am I the Tang Clan Leader, but I also hold a high position in the Pei Nation. I have to think for King Pei, so I can only trouble Second Brother."

Tang Xuanci said apologetically. These heartfelt words made Tang Xuanci even more confused. "What does this have to do with King Pei?"

"Not long after Chen Yi's companion, Yuan Jie, was summoned to the Holy Island by the Great Prophet of the Luo Sect, the Luo Sect suddenly disappeared. Are these two matters related?

"Now that we know that Chen Yi might be from the Chen Clan, we can make a further guess. Is the disappearance of the Luo Sect related to the Chen Clan?"

Tang Xuanci's expression was solemn, and Tang Xuanci's scalp went cold.
