Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200
"No, impossible, he can’t be dead."
At this moment, Liu Mengting slowly woke up, muttering constantly.
"Meng Meng sister, Tang Ming brother is really dead, wuwu, we will never see Tang Ming brother again."
Li Xiaoli immediately hugged Liu Mengting, crying bitterly.
"How could this happen, how could he die?"
Liu Mengting couldn’t control her tears either, they flowed like rain.
Watching the two women hugging each other in pain, Tang Ming felt a chaos in his heart, but he had to be ruthless now.
"Cough cough, I’m here to tell you this unfortunate news, and to pack up my brother’s belongings. You... you should accept this with peace."
Unable to bear watching anymore, Tang Ming hurriedly got up and walked to the bedroom to pack things.
Actually, there wasn’t much to pack, but he had to take the marriage certificate and destroy it, then convince Liu Gaoze and the engagement would be resolved.
Liu Mengting paid no attention to Tang Ming, heartbroken and crying endlessly.
"I... I should head back."
Shen Yan, with a complex expression, didn’t know what to feel, slowly got up, and muddily walked towards the door.
"Strange! We didn’t tell him which room was Tang Ming’s, how does he know?"
Li Xiaoli wiped her tears, puzzled, looking at Tang Ming entering the room.
Shen Yan stopped in her tracks, suddenly looking at Li Xiaoli, "What do you mean by that?"
Liu Mengting also quickly looked up at Li Xiaoli, hope glimmering in her eyes.
"Could this person be Tang Ming brother, trying to avoid us by claiming to be Tang Xin?"
Li Xiaoli frowned, blinking in confusion.
"No way, Tang Xin is a martial arts master, Tang Ming is just a useless person with ruined cultivation, such a vast gap between them couldn’t possibly be the same person."
Shen Yan frowned, voicing her doubts.
She interacted with both Tang Xin and Tang Ming; the biggest difference was that Tang Ming had no cultivation, while Tang Xin was a master amongst masters.
"Who told you Tang Ming brother has no cultivation?"
Li Xiaoli cast a glance at Shen Yan, not caring about secrecy, "Tang Ming brother’s cultivation recovered a long time ago, only me, Meng Meng sister, and Wei’er know about this."
"Tang Ming’s cultivation recovered?"
Shen Yan’s eyes widened as memories of her interactions with Tang Ming and Tang Xin flooded her mind. If Tang Ming’s cultivation was restored, then the person in the Imperial City could very likely be Tang Ming.
"I can also vouch for this, it’s just he asked us to keep it secret, which is why we never told anyone."
Liu Mengting wiped her tears, assuredly responding.
"Damn, this bastard... wait a minute! The person’s height and build are quite different from Tang Ming, it doesn’t seem to be the same person."
Shen Yan was about to curse but then raised another question.
"Tang Ming brother’s skills are so extensive, changing his physique would be easy for him."
Li Xiaoli wasn’t suspicious of this, squinting her eyes and saying, "Though not entirely certain, we can test him to see if he’s Tang Ming brother or not. Otherwise, I can’t fathom how Tang Xin would know which room belonged to Tang Ming brother."
"Right, right, with so many rooms in the villa, Tang Ming’s brother has never been here, how could he find Tang Ming’s room so easily."
Liu Mengting was also filled with doubt.
"That’s definitely something we need to observe closely, since both brothers have such powerful cultivation, it’s quite a challenge."
Shen Yan quickly sat back on the sofa, eager to uncover the truth.
Tang Ming entered the room, packed the items briefly, hid the marriage certificate, and prepared to leave.
"Phew, seeing them so upset makes me feel pretty bad too. Once I step out, I’ll say my goodbyes and swiftly leave."
Standing at the door, Tang Ming took a deep breath, hardening his heart: "Better to have short-term pain than long, although it’s hard to leave here, I can’t waste any more time. I must end the engagement and search for the mystery of my origins."
With his mind prepared, Tang Ming arranged his feelings and walked out of the bedroom.
After descending the stairs, Tang Ming was stunned.
Though just moments ago Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were sobbing, now they were sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing, especially Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting surprisingly playing games with Shen Yan.
What’s going on here? How did they recover so quickly?
"Are you all okay now?"
Tang Ming asked the three women uncertainly.
"We’re fine, why should there be something wrong?"
Li Xiaoli asked without raising her head.
"My brother was a friend of you all, now that he’s dead, shouldn’t you be very sad?"
Tang Ming frowned, puzzledly asking.
"Just someone dead, why feel sad?"
Liu Mengting glanced at Tang Ming disdainfully, "It’s not like he’s our direct family member, just a roommate here, there’s no need to be sad for him."
"Exactly, without a man in the villa, I and Meng Meng sister can be freer, it’s a good thing."
Li Xiaoli agreed, nodding.
"Heck, you are so cold-blooded!"
Listening to this, Tang Ming was furious: "My elder brother saved you so many times, especially Liu Mengting, he almost lost his life several times for you, how can you say such heartless words?"
Though Tang Ming didn’t wish for the two women to mourn his departure, seeing Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s indifferent behavior still made him feel very angry.
"Hehe, who said he saved me? Why don’t I remember?"
Liu Mengting coldly laughed, looking at Tang Ming disdainfully.
"You were harassed by Chen Cang, kidnapped, held hostage, and taken to the mountains... wasn’t it my brother who desperately saved you every time?"
Tang Ming glared at Liu Mengting, shouting, "Especially during Yang Wei’s incident, his cultivation was ruined to save you two, yet you show no concern for him, simply too cold-blooded."
"How do you know about these things?"
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli exchanged a glance, then looked playfully at Tang Ming.
From this moment, they were convinced that the Tang Xin before them was likely Tang Ming, otherwise, how could he know so much about past events?
"I... I heard it from my brother, he told me about things between you all."
Tang Ming hadn’t realized he was tricked by the two women, confidently explaining.
Liu Mengting smirked, calmly said, "When someone dies, it’s like a lamp going out. While he lived, we were grateful, but now that he’s dead, dust returns to dust, earth to earth, there’s no need to dwell in the past forever, or else we’ll only bring ourselves pain."
