Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426

"Tang Ming gege, we missed you so much."

Before Tang Ming could understand the situation, he heard a familiar scream.

Tang Ming instantly became alert and looked down to see Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting standing in the hall.

"Oh my god, what the... ahhhhh!"

Tang Ming was taken by surprise, and before he could speak, he missed a step and fell heavily from the stairs to the ground.

"Oh dear, even if you missed us a lot, was there a need to get so excited at first sight?"

Li Xiaoli hurried over to Tang Ming, exclaiming dramatically.

"Nonsense, why are you guys here?"

Tang Ming, lying on the ground, asked irritably.

"We came to see you. To be precise, Meng Meng jie came to check on the Liu Family’s assets in the Imperial City, and decided to visit you as well."

Li Xiaoli introduced with a grin.

Liu Mengting approached, looking at Tang Ming with concern.

Tang Ming got up from the ground, puzzled as he stared at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli: "Even if you came to the Imperial City, how did you know I was living here?"

"Ming ge, I told them."

At this moment, Chen Cang dragged in two large suitcases.

Tang Ming glared fiercely at Chen Cang. The issue here hadn’t been resolved yet, and these two women just showed up, completely adding chaos.

"Hey, are you really unwelcome for us to come over?"

Liu Mengting frowned and looked at Tang Ming with displeasure.

"That’s not it, it’s just that you came too suddenly, and I wasn’t prepared for it."

Tang Ming smiled awkwardly, tugging at his clothes: "Look, I didn’t even change, how embarrassing!"

"We’re not picky about you, what are you worried about?"

Li Xiaoli laughed carelessly, exclaiming excitedly: "It’s summer vacation now, we’re bored at home, so it’s perfect to explore the Imperial City."

"Yes, we were shopping downtown before, but this time I want to go to the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven..."

Liu Mengting also shouted excitedly.

"Oh yes! Let’s invite Xiaoyu jie to be our guide, we can have as much fun as before."

Li Xiaoli quickly took out her phone to make a call.

"Hey, hey, don’t add to the chaos."

Tang Ming quickly grabbed Li Xiaoli’s phone, "Wu Xiaoyu and I have completely cut ties, don’t disturb her again."

The two girls stared at Tang Ming in surprise.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli stayed at home for a few days, spending their time attending classmates’ farewell parties and were extremely bored, mainly because Tang Ming wasn’t home.

The two discussed the situation and, under the guise of checking on the Liu Family’s assets, went to the Imperial City to find Tang Ming. They had no idea Tang Ming was involved in major issues there, nor about Wu Xiaoyu’s situation.

"You guys sit first, and I’ll talk to you in a bit."

Tang Ming pointed to the sofa and walked over to Chen Cang: "Are you crazy? Why bring both of them over now?"

"Hasn’t everything been resolved?"

Chen Cang asked in confusion.

"Nonsense! The Dragon Group’s selection isn’t final yet. If I’m forced to go, I’ll either have to fight them or flee. Bringing them here now, what do I do?"

Tang Ming glared at Chen Cang.

Chen Cang looked bewildered, having no knowledge of what Tang Ming had to handle.

"Forget it, I’ll explain myself."

Tang Ming waved his hand in frustration and walked over to the two women: "Ladies, I have important matters to handle here in the Imperial City and can’t accompany you. Please head back to Songlan City. Once I’ve finished my business, I’ll accompany you, okay?"

"No worries, you take care of your matters first. Meng Meng jie and I can explore by ourselves."

Li Xiaoli shook her head nonchalantly, "Plus, Xiao Cang Cang is with us, and the Liu family will look after us. We won’t be in trouble."

"That’s not what I meant. I mean my current task is very dangerous, and leaving you here might bring danger as well."

Tang Ming helplessly scratched his head.

"What exactly happened?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "And what happened with Wu Xiaoyu? She did so much for you, why did you cut ties with her?"

"This isn’t something I can explain in a few words."

Tang Ming frowned, Wu Xiaoyu was the last thing he wanted to discuss.

"If it’s not clear, take your time. As long as you give us a reasonable explanation, I’ll take Xiaoli and head back to Songlan City immediately."

Liu Mengting was firm, not one to make unreasonable demands but unwilling to leave without understanding, as it would cause worry.

Tang Ming sighed and began recounting what had happened before.

On the villa’s top floor, Chu Batian sat cross-legged, sipping beer and eating peanuts: "What a shame, such a grand scene, and I’m not part of it. Such a pity."

"Indeed a pity, you didn’t see when I led the Poison Sect to completely surround Ming Group’s headquarters."

Xin Badao, sitting across from Chu Batian, bragged with a proud expression.

"Old Xin, it seems our decision to follow Young Master Tang was a clear one, otherwise with our abilities, even in another lifetime, we couldn’t have led the Poison Sect this far."

Xin Badao looked at Xin Badao with heartfelt emotion after the story.

"I completely agree."

Xin Badao nodded, "Without Young Master Tang, we couldn’t have advanced our cultivation so quickly. Even if I reached Nine-star Martial Master, I wouldn’t have the guts to confront the Ming Group. That’s the Ming Group after all."

"Same here, we made the most of our lives this way."

Chu Batian laughed, shaking his head in pity: "Too bad I missed seeing the Ming Group’s fall with my own eyes to protect the two ladies."

"Don’t worry! I believe following Old Poison, such scenes will be trivial in the future."

Xin Badao shrugged off the concern: "Even the Dragon Group got involved now. I didn’t know of the Dragon Group’s existence before."

"Right, right, we swear to follow Tang Ming to the end. Who knows, maybe someday Poison Sect might even take down the Dragon Group."

Chu Batian laughed, dreaming of possibilities.

"Shh, shh, shh, you can’t just say that."

Xin Badao quickly covered Xin Badao’s mouth, speaking cautiously: "The Dragon Group is too powerful, that Azure Dragon subdued three Nine-star Martial Masters with ease. What power is that?"

"So what? The Ming Group once seemed insurmountable. Look at it now?"

Chu Batian scoffed, unconvinced.
