That thing belongs to their Taoist Sect, so of course Chen Yang couldn’t just keep it for himself.
They set out a little after two in the afternoon, and by the ti they got back to Lihe Village, it was already six in the evening.
The sunset on the horizon was fiery red, making the sky look really beautiful.
"Little friend Chen Yang, I’ll head back to the temple first. I’ve been away for more than two months, no idea what things are like at ho," as soon as they entered the village, Taoist Liu was already eager to leave.
He also wanted to find a place to stash the Cultivation Technique he’d brought back from Lion Tiger Mountain.
Although this ti he had only brought back a small portion from Lion Tiger Mountain, and it was just introductory-level Cultivation Techniques, that was still enough to make many cultivators drool.
Hiding it as soon as possible was the safer move.
"Alright, I won’t see you off then. I’ve been gone so long too, I’ve got a lot of things to deal with," Chen Yang said.
"Mm, I’m off." Taoist Liu nodded, then hugged the Cultivation Technique and turned to leave.
But he had barely taken two steps when Chen Yang called him back.
"Oh right, aren’t you taking it with you?" Chen Yang pointed at the back seat.
He was of course referring to the little tiger.
Taoist Liu froze for a mont, then laughed. "I’d like to take it back, but it doesn’t want to go."
Hearing that, Chen Yang was speechless.
This little tiger was really stubborn, as if it had decided he was the one, insisting on following him no matter what.
It didn’t even recognize the Daoist Command Token anymore.
"My mother told , I’ll listen to whoever receives the legacy and follow whoever receives it. You accepted the legacy, so naturally I have to follow you!" the little tiger stressed again, its attitude very firm.
"See? Since it wants to stay with you, let it follow you. This poor Taoist will be off first." Taoist Liu didn’t mind at all that his sect’s mountain-guardian spirit beast was clinging to Chen Yang; in fact, he even looked rather relaxed, happily taking advantage of the situation.
Chen Yang just felt a headache coming on.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep the little tiger, it was that his house was right by the main street in the center of the village. For now it was fine, the little tiger was small, no problem.
But if it grew up in the future, that would be trouble.
The Green Cloud Taoist Temple was different. It was in a remote spot, and there was basically no one around at night.
There were also woods and bushes nearby, much more suitable.
"Don’t rush off yet, wait a bit." Seeing Taoist Liu about to leave again, Chen Yang hurriedly called out, wanting to make a final effort to see if he could talk the little tiger into going with Taoist Liu.
"Alright, alright, just be quick, I’m tired of carrying this stuff." Taoist Liu smiled wryly, but agreed.
Chen Yang looked helplessly at the little tiger and said, "Didn’t you just say it yourself? You’ll listen to whoever received the legacy?"
"I’m telling you now to go with him. By that logic, you should listen too, right?"
When Chen Yang said that, the little tiger seed to not react at first; it thought about it for several seconds before it clicked.
"What you said does make sense, that’s indeed how it is." the little tiger said.
Chen Yang grinned. "Then that settles it. Go with him now."
"Okay." Once the little tiger had figured it out, it hopped off the bike without any hesitation.
This ti it was Taoist Liu’s turn to feel helpless.
But he didn’t say anything more, just hugged the Cultivation Technique and left with the little tiger.
After seeing Taoist Liu and the little tiger off, Chen Yang headed back to his own clinic.
After two and a half months, everything at ho was just as before, nothing had changed.
Only Brother Eagle and Little Yellow got extrely excited when they saw Chen Yang had returned.
They were yowling and screeching in the middle of the night like they’d been injected with stimulants.
"Haven’t seen you for two months, you two are getting sturdier and sturdier. Looks like you’ve been eating pretty well lately." Chen Yang said with a smile.
Chiu chiu.
Brother Eagle cried twice, looking very pleased with himself.
"While I wasn’t ho, did anything happen here?" Chen Yang asked Brother Eagle with a smile.
Brother Eagle shook his head, indicating no.
Hearing that there was nothing, Chen Yang was relieved. It was best if everything was just the sa as always.
"Good, as long as nothing happened. These are for you, to make up for these past days." Chen Yang chuckled as he pulled a handful of Body Tempering Pills from his pocket and split them between Brother Eagle and Little Yellow.
Maybe it had just been too long since they’d had Body Tempering Pills, but the two of them wolfed them down in an instant.
Then once the dicine took effect, each of them went back to their own nest to digest it.
Seeing that everything at ho was normal, Chen Yang planned to swing by the company and the village committee next.
To see if anything had happened.
But he had just finished tidying up and was about to head out when Li ngzi showed up first.
"Leader, Master wants you to co over." Li ngzi said after finding Chen Yang.
Chen Yang’s face was full of surprise. "Your master’s looking for ? Didn’t he just co from my place? Why’s he calling again?"
Li ngzi shook his head. "I don’t know either. Master just told to co get you, said to invite you over."
What was going on?
Chen Yang was puzzled, but seeing that Li ngzi didn’t know either, he didn’t ask more.
"Alright, I’ll go then." Chen Yang nodded. He didn’t have ti to go to the company or the village committee first, and went straight to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
He’d originally been thinking of checking in on Chen Tianmin on the way, but unexpectedly, once he got to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple, the reason Taoist Liu had called him over was to tell him that Chen Tianmin was no longer there.
Chen Yang was stunned by the news.
"Second Uncle isn’t at the Green Cloud Taoist Temple anymore? What’s going on?" Chen Yang imdiately asked, concerned.
"I’m not clear on it either, I only just got back. When I heard, I imdiately called you over. For the details, we’ll have to ask that old loach." Taoist Liu was just as anxious.
Everything had been properly arranged when they left, and now the man was gone when they ca back. This really was troubleso.
The two of them went straight to the side room and found Ao Min, who was in the middle of cultivating.
Taoist Liu had rushed back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the temple he heard from Li ngzi that Chen Tianmin was missing, so he hadn’t even gone to find Ao Min yet; the first thing he did was tell Li ngzi to notify Chen Yang.
He waited until Chen Yang arrived before going to look for Ao Min.
When Ao Min saw Chen Yang and Taoist Liu coming together to find him, he imdiately knew what it was about.
"Ah, little brother, when did you get back? Long ti no see. You’re looking more and more imposing, little brother." Ao Min opened his mouth with a stream of flattery.
Taoist Liu glared at him. "Enough, old loach, cut the crap. Where’s the man I told you to keep an eye on? How did he disappear?"
Taoist Liu was even more anxious than Chen Yang.
If sothing had happened to Chen Tianmin, he would bear so responsibility, since Chen Yang had gone to help him.
"Old geezer, was this king talking to you? Why are you butting in? The person this king was protecting definitely won’t have had anything happen to him. What are you so anxious about?"
"You damn loach!"
"Alright, Ao Min, let’s talk business first. Where did he go?" Seeing the two about to start bickering again, Chen Yang hurriedly interrupted.
"Yes, say where he went first, I’ll settle accounts with you later." Taoist Liu chid in quickly.
"Hmph, this king will be settling accounts with you later too." Ao Min snorted coldly, then smiled at Chen Yang and said, "Little brother, your second uncle is fine. He left on his own."
"Left on his own?" Chen Yang was puzzled.
Ao Min explained, "Yeah, about a month ago, a big man ca to the temple. He was also a cultivator, about mid-stage Qi Cultivation Realm. After he and your second uncle had a talk, your second uncle left with him."
The more Chen Yang listened, the more confused he felt. Lihe Village was extrely well hidden, so what kind of person could have found Chen Tianmin?
Blood Bat Hall?
Not very likely.
If it were them, the two sides would definitely have fought.
Chen Tianmin would never just leave with the other party.
