C213: Beast

Mu Hongyan stared at Tang Zheng in extreme shock, the two words "cultivator" were like a bolt out of the blue, causing her brain to temporarily forget to think about it.

After a while, she recovered and asked, "How did you know about cultivators? What exactly is your identity?"

Tang Zheng smiled, and unhurriedly said: "You don't need to be nervous, as you have seen my family's situation, so you should know my identity. Naturally, I will not be your enemy. It's just that I happen to know about cultivators. It is no wonder you are so cautious. After all, cultivators are only considered to be a beast in the eyes of others."

Mu Hongyan recalled the process of getting to know Tang Zheng and discovered that Tang Zheng did not have any evil intentions towards her but instead selflessly helped her. It seems that she was too cautious.

"Tang Zheng, I'm sorry but my reaction was too extreme. But this matter is of great importance so I have no choice but to be cautious." Mu Hongyan finally relaxed her tone and said.

Tang Zheng nodded his head to express his understanding.

"But how did you know about cultivators? You are a martial artist, aren't you treating cultivators as your mortal enemy?" Mu Hongyan suspiciously asked.

"A mortal enemy?" Tang Zheng gave a snort of contempt: "In this world there are many martial artists that do not know about the existence of cultivators, so how could we talk about enemies? What's more, cultivators aren't a threat to martial artists, so there's no need to go against each other. Are water and fire not compatible?"

Mu Hongyan was dumbstruck as she did not expect Tang Zheng to say such words.

"How do I know anything about a cultivators? If I tell you the truth, can you promise not to reveal it to anyone? " Tang Zheng's face became solemn.

If he wanted to obtain the magical equipment left behind by her husband, he must obtain the trust of the her, and revealing his status as a cultivator was undoubtedly a good method.

Moreover, her husband was a cultivator, so she should be able to accept Tang Zheng's identity.

Mu Hongyan's face became solemn as she solemnly looked at Tang Zheng and promised: "If you believe me then I will naturally keep your secret."

"Of course I believe you." Tang Zheng's mouth slightly curled up, "In reality, I am also a cultivator like your husband."

"What, you're also a cultivator?" Even though Mu Hongyan has gone through countless scenes and had already developed a character that would not allow her to be humiliated, hearing these words her heart still couldn't help but beat faster.

Her thoughts flew in different directions as many questions from the past were easily answered. It was no wonder that Tang Zheng, at such a young age, was so unfathomable that he was actually a cultivator.

The most important thing was the mysterious Life Continuing Pill. Even the Medicine King did not know how to make it but Tang Zheng easily took out two.

All of this could only be explained in terms of the identity of a cultivator.

Tang Zheng firmly nodded his head: "Now do you know that I have no ill intentions towards you? I am also seen as a beast by others."

Mu Hongyan indignantly said: "This is all prejudice. We are all people so why should a cultivator be a beast and be discriminated against?"

Tang Zheng felt joy in his heart as it seemed that because her husband was being pushed aside, she had a strong sense of identity towards him.

"Thank you for saying so, but there are too many prejudiced people in this world, so I have no choice but to carefully conceal my identity."

Mu Hongyan's expression darkened as she recalled a distant memory. She muttered to herself: "He was as cautious as you were back then, not wanting to be discovered by others. Even his father did not know but he told me because we trusted each other."

"Everyone else thinks that he is a cripple who doesn't know martial arts, but I know that his heart is higher than the heavens and that he holds the world in his heart." Mu Hongyan said as she glanced at the words on the wall: "He only became a cultivator because of luck. When others ridiculed him, he silently cultivated and believed that one day he would be able to soar into the sky and let everyone who looked down on him see how strong he is."

Mu Hongyan was completely immersed in her memories and Tang Zheng did not disturb her as he silently listened.

"But all of this changed after he found a magic treasure. I don't know what magic treasure he found, but before he could share this joy with me, he was killed by someone. Isn't the person who killed him also a cultivator?"

"That's right. A master and disciple were eyeing his treasures and killing for it. However, in the end, they did not succeed. That's why they came to vent their anger on you and your daughter."

"Too despicable and shameless!"

"That's right, the person who assaulted you and your daugther before you left Chang Heng City is that disciple."

"It's him!" Mu Hongyan still remembered that she was kidnapped due to Tang Zheng's rescue.

"Later on, his master Daoist Tianji discovered that his disciple had died in Chang Heng City and hurried over to find me. I had to put in a lot of effort to get rid of him."

Mu Hongyan's expression finally fluctuated as she gratefully said: "Tang Zheng, you helped us take revenge. I do not know how to repay you."

Tang Zheng smiled: "Nannan and I are fated. Moreover, your husband is also a cultivator so this can be considered a type of fate. It could be said that taking revenge for him was a good thing."

"Then you have another purpose in Dian Nan. What is it?"

"Magic treasure! The artifact your husband got was missing, so I wanted to find it. " Tang Zheng said straightforwardly.

"Magic treasure." Mu Hongyan's eyebrows jumped, her husband died because of a magic treasure, but she did not expect Tang Zheng to come because of a magic treasure.

"I'll be honest. My Cultivation base isn't very high, so I need this magical item. In exchange, you can make any request you wish. I'll do my best to fulfill it." Since everyone was familiar with each other, of course Tang Zheng could not steal from them.

Mu Hongyan shook her head: "As I said earlier, he did not have the time to tell me what magic treasure it was ,and even more did not tell me where the magic treasure was, so I met with misfortune."

Mu Hongyan's eyes were firm as she did not lie. Tang Zheng could not help but feel his heart darken, could it be that this time he is going to return empty-handed?

A Mysterious grade magic treasure was extremely important to Tang Zheng.

"Did he leave any clues?" Tang Zheng did not give up as he asked.

Mu Hongyan pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly: "I do not know, he liked to shut himself in the training room, if there were any clues then he would be in the training room."

Tang Zheng's heart ignited with hope and he said: "Then can you bring me to the training room to take a look?"

Mu Hongyan did not hurriedly answer but said: "Tang Zheng, you have saved Nannan and me multiple times. If you find this magical treasure then it would not be an exaggeration to give it to you but I still have a presumptuous request."

Tang Zheng had never thought of getting what he wanted without hard work so he did not feel disgusted and said: "Please speak."

"Nannan is still young so I want her to inherit father's will and become a cultivator in the future." Mu Hongyan firmly said.

Tang Zheng heard what she said and was shocked: "Cultivators are considered as abnormal by others. Their future path is bound to be uneven, so why did you let her take this route? Her grandfather is a top master. If she follow him and learn martial arts, she will definitely have some achievements in the future. "

Mu Hongyan did not waver as she said: "No, she is her father's daughter. It is her responsibility to inherit her father's final wish. So what if she is an outsider, the outsider can also shine."

Tang Zheng couldn't help but be infected by her tone. This woman was not a cultivator, but she had the courage to do so. This was truly priceless.

"Alright, I promise you thatwhether or not you can find a magic treasure, I will let Nannan become a cultivator. Moreover, when I healed Nannan, she already had a sliver of power within her ,so in the future she will be able to cultivate twice the result."

This was the result of Nannan's misfortune. Even though she had suffered for many years, after Tang Zheng broke the Curse Technique, her body gained a bit of energy.

Perhaps she had her own plans, and the little girl's path had already been arranged. She was destined to become a cultivator, just like her father.

Mu Hongyan's expression became excited: "Thank you, Tang Zheng. Let's go to the training room."

After walking out of the room, he discovered that there was another person in the corridor who was called Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian nodded her head in satisfaction as she saw Tang Zheng walk out of the room with Mu Hongyan. Moreover, the two were both wearing pyjamas so she could not help but stare with wide eyes, even more shocked than if she had seen a ghost.

"You guys …" She pointed at the two of them. "They're actually together."

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman sharing a room together was too much to daydream about.

Could it be what Long Tengyu said was true? Were these two really in the same boat? Tang Zheng was simply too much of a beast, not even letting go of the young woman.

However, it made sense. This young woman was too attractive. Normal men would find it hard to resist her charm.

Mu Hongyan saw that she was misunderstood and felt incomparably awkward. She wanted to explain but seeing Li Xiaotian hurriedly return to her room but did not forget to glare at Tang Zheng with hatred and opened her mouth.

Tang Zheng recognized it as she was cursing the two words "beast".

Tang Zheng helplessly gave a bitter smile, this woman really is nosy. I didn't do anything, so why do you have to scold me? Scolding me for being such a beast, be careful of what I do to you.

Mu Hongyan awkwardly said: "She must have misunderstood. Tomorrow, I will find her to explain."

Tang Zheng nonchalantly said: "There is no need to care about her. The more you explain it, the more she feels that we are afraid of her. Anyways, this is not related to her and she has nothing to do with it."

Mu Hongyan lightly smiled and said: "The conflict between you and her is huge."

Tang Zheng took the opportunity to explain everything that happened on the train, "You said that she randomly framed someone who was a good person, so why would I give her face?"

"The people of the Li Palace have always been arrogant. This is their style of doing things." Mu Hongyan explained.

Tang Zheng shook his head: "I don't care what their style is but she better not provoke me. Otherwise, I will deal with her no matter what martial arts sect she is from the Li Palace."

Tang Zheng's age was similar to Li Xiaotian's so he had seen her before. Even though he could not clearly see her cultivation level, he was confident that even if the two sides were to fight, he would still have a way to protect himself ,so he was not afraid of her.

Mu Hongyan looked at him in another light as she said: "I don't know how many people in this world are afraid of the Li Palace, but you are not the least bit afraid. You are indeed a good boy."

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the training room. This training room was a basement, and above them was a large area of transparent glass.

The basement was actually at the bottom of the lake. He must have spent a lot of effort to construct it.

Tang Zheng suddenly realized that cultivating at the bottom of the lake could conceal his identity and also allow him to continuously absorb spiritual energy from the lake, killing two birds with one stone.
