Chapter 126: What a stubborn mule!
After staying in the Tang Sect for a few days, He Li was a little reluctant to leave.
Without revealing his identity, the Tang Sect treated Gu Yu and his party with extreme enthusiasm, and even he enjoyed the hospitality.
The service was top-notch, with companions to chat and play with.
It was too comfortable.
Compared to the nouveau riche style of decoration of the He Sect, the Tang Sect was much more grand, which had also brought some changes to He Li.
The most obvious change was his nouveau riche dressing and appearance, which was much more normal now.
This led Gu Qingheng to secretly tell Gu Yu that if He Li stayed in the Tang Sect for a while, he would probably regain a normal person’s aesthetics.
Gu Yu agreed with a nod.
However, Gu Yu’s biggest concern at the moment was not here, but when He Qiang would come to pick them up.
Did he forget that his old man was still here!
How long has it been, and there hasn’t been any news!
Even with the alliance’s intelligence network, there were no new developments from the He Sect; it was completely calm…
Even the jade that was sent to be made into jewelry had been delivered safely.
If they waited any longer, the jewelry would probably be sent to Bai Qian in the capital, and the Tang Sect’s affairs would still not be resolved…
As Gu Yu’s doubts grew, his emotions became anxious, and when he finally saw He Li leisurely playing poker with Gu Qingheng, he finally spoke up to ask.
“Old He, when is your son coming to pick you up?”
“Don’t worry, this kid is cunning! He’s probably gathering information right now, trying to figure out what’s going on.”
“No, you’re in the Tang Sect, your son should be extremely anxious! Why is he so slow now?”
“Alas, even if they discover my identity, the people in charge of the Tang Sect won’t do anything to me… Royal flush! Haha.”
“…”
Hearing He Li’s words, Gu Yu was also extremely depressed.
Originally, he thought that after hearing the news of He Li’s arrival in the Tang Sect, He Qiang would be extremely anxious and rush into the Tang Sect to demand his father’s release.
But he had underestimated He Qiang’s composure.
He was still waiting and watching, showing too much confidence in He Li’s safety.
“It’s all because I was poisoned, which made my son believe that ordinary methods couldn’t cure it… When I was going home before, I already told him I was fine! But he just didn’t believe me, thinking I was lying to him.”
“Didn’t you get a doctor to confirm?”
“Of course I did! I had a whole line of doctors confirm it for me, but my son said I was being pretentious, trying to pass off the fake as the real thing.”
“…”
“So, I can only come to the Tang Sect as a guest now to force my son to believe me.”
When he spoke of He Qiang not believing him, He Li sighed helplessly, thinking that if he could convince him, why would he risk coming to the Tang Sect!
It was completely impossible to communicate with him!
That’s why he resorted to this desperate measure.
After hearing He Li’s words, Gu Yu gained a new understanding of He Qiang’s stubbornness.
Knowing that he couldn’t rush things now, he could only wait patiently.
He hoped it would be soon.
He didn’t want to stay in the Tang Sect forever, leaving his wife to guard the empty room alone!
…
“Sect Leader, someone from the He Sect has delivered a letter.”
“Bring it here.”
Just as Gu Yu was trying to resolve the matter quickly, Tang Hao Cang also received a letter from He Qiang.
After he opened the envelope and read the words on the paper, his brows immediately furrowed.
Then, after finishing the letter, Tang Hao Cang was so angry that he slammed the letter onto the table.
This He Qiang is really a stubborn mule!
He had said long ago that the Tang Sect had no secret treasures, but He Qiang stubbornly believed that the Tang Sect refused to give them.
Therefore, the content of this letter was also a request for nonexistent pills from the Tang Sect.
Where could he conjure up something that didn’t exist!
He sat down dejectedly, looking at the letter, Tang Hao Cang became more and more angry, not knowing what to do next.
Without the pills, it would be difficult to get He Qiang to give up his attack on the Tang Sect, but He Qiang’s reason for wanting the pills was to treat the poison that He Qiang had been poisoned with.
Regarding this point, Gu Yu had already explained it to Tang Hao Cang.
So, when Tang Hao Cang thought of this, his mind suddenly sparked an idea.
Since He Qiang wanted medicine to treat the poisoning symptoms, he didn’t have to refuse… As long as he stated that He Li had taken the pill and his poison had been resolved.
With Gu Yu’s advanced medical skills, such a solution was not difficult at all!
Moreover, Gu Yu had already cured He Li.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao Cang no longer hesitated and found some paper to start writing. After finishing a sheet of paper, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he found someone trustworthy in the sect and instructed him for a long time before letting him deliver the letter to the He Sect.
When He Qiang saw the letter, he would reply quickly.
Then, the next stage of the conversation could begin.
Regarding the He Sect, although Tang Hao Cang wanted to resolve it directly, the key was that the Tang Sect could not take action against the He Sect.
It was not for any other reason, but because the He Sect’s poisons were too powerful!
Although the Tang Sect also researched poisons, compared to the He Sect, they were not even in the same league.
This also made Tang Hao Cang sigh a lot. He could only wait to get through this difficult period before discovering more promising young people to engage in the poison manufacturing industry.
So that the Tang Sect would no longer encounter embarrassing situations due to inferior skills.
However, the Tang Sect was not without its merits.
At least, in terms of hidden weapons, no one could match them. Even if the He Sect was powerful, it was merely relying on poisons.
After all, it was not only people from the He Sect who used poison against the Tang Sect, but the Tang Sect also attacked the He Sect by surprise.
Both sides had suffered losses.
Now that there was an opportunity to stop this mutual attack, Tang Hao Cang felt that it must be seized.
Although it was fine for now, he couldn’t stand other sects interfering later… As the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, he had to consider all aspects.
How to help the Tang Sect avoid this crisis without damaging its foundation.
The matter with the He Sect must be resolved.
“Sect Leader! Miss and the others are back!”
“What, Lian’er is back? That’s much earlier than the scheduled time, why did she come back so quickly!”
Just as Tang Hao Cang was thinking about the troublesome matters of the He Sect, someone outside suddenly exclaimed with surprise.
Hearing this, Tang Hao Cang was first stunned, then after the surprise, he became confused.
His daughter’s return was too fast.
Now, the sect was not safe, and extra protection was needed… Moreover, Gu Qingheng from the Gu family had also come along.
Although Gu Qingheng seemed very good, Tang Hao Cang now felt like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Therefore, he subconsciously did not want his daughter to meet Gu Qingheng.
His little padded jacket had only returned a few years ago, how could she be taken away by another man so quickly!
This was also the real reason why Tang Hao Cang readily agreed when Gu Yu had written to him, asking for Tang Lian to train for a few more years.
