That night, Yang Tian and Ling Ying took a flight directly from the East Sea to the West Capital.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they arrived in the West Capital.
Wang Ying and Wang Yue originally wanted to co along, but Yang Tian was adamant about not letting them.
First, Wang Ying was about to give birth to the Demon Embryo soon.
Second, Wang Yue was too mischievous; if she followed, she would definitely cause trouble.
Ling Ying, however, was the Saintess of the Martial Dynasty, so Yang Tian agreed to bring her along.
"Yang, are we going straight to the Emperor Tang's Ling Tomb now?"
Just as they walked out of the airport, Ling Ying asked.
"I'll look for Chu Qian first!"
Yang Tian said.
"Foster mother?"
ntioning Chu Qian made Ling Ying's face show a hint of guilt.
Chu Qian was Ling Ying's foster mother.
Back then, it was Chen Tianbao and Chu Qian who took her out of the orphanage. But in reality, she was an assassin, and it was all just to get close to Chen Tianbao and Chu Qian to conveniently gather information about Chen Zheng.
Later, when Ling Ying's identity as an assassin was exposed, Chen Tianbao and Chu Qian's attitude towards her didn't change at all.
However, Chen Tianbao died soon after.
Leaving only Chu Qian alone in the West Capital.
Now, Ling Ying didn't even know if her foster mother was alive or dead.
Thinking of this, Ling Ying felt so guilt: "Yang, let's not disturb foster mother?"
"Although Chen Tianbao is already dead, Chu Qian is, after all, the old manager of the Chen Family. She has so influence here. We will inevitably face troubles finding the Emperor Tang's Ling Tomb. Looking for her gives peace of mind."
Yang Tian said.
"Okay then."
Ling Ying nodded and stopped speaking.
Then Yang Tian took out his phone and dialed the number Chu Qian left behind. The call quickly connected, and a cold voice ca through: "Who are you looking for?"
"Madam Chu, it's Yang Tian."
Yang Tian said.
"Mr. Chen, it's you! Why are you calling all of a sudden?"
On the other end, Chu Qian's previously cold attitude changed.
"I've arrived in the West Capital. I wonder if Madam Chu is still in the West Capital?"
Yang Tian asked.
"Young master, you've co to the West Capital? I'm still here!" The other end, Chu Qian, seed very excited: "Young master, I didn't expect you to co back to see an old woman like . Give your location, and I'll send soone to pick you up. I can't co right now due to important guests."
"Alright!"
Yang Tian nodded.
Yang Tian wasn't interested in Chu Qian's personal affairs.
After waiting in the airport waiting lounge for less than twenty minutes, a young man ca towards them holding a wooden sign that read: Mr. Chen.
"They're here..."
Yang Tian waved.
"Are you Mr. Chen?" The young man approached and respectfully greeted, looking Yang Tian up and down, but quickly noticed Ling Ying beside him: "Miss!"
"It's ..."
Ling Ying said calmly.
"Miss, I didn't expect you'd return. I'll report to Madam right away!"
The young man said, about to take out his phone, but was stopped by Ling Ying, who said calmly, "I don't want my foster mother to know I'm back yet..."
"This..."
The young man was anxious.
But Yang Tian had already said, "It's fine, just take us to find Madam Chu."
"Okay, please this way..." The young man personally led Yang Tian and Ling Ying to the car and then drove towards the West Capital City. Along the way, he specifically ntioned, "Mr. Chen, Madam is currently entertaining guests who ca from the East Sea. These guests are from one of the four major families, so she couldn't step away to et you. Madam asked to apologize to you!"
"Guests from the four major families of the East Sea?"
Yang Tian frowned.
The four major families of the East Sea were none other than the families of Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi, and Wang Ying.
But who from their families would co to the West Capital at this ti? And they know Chu Qian?
The car quickly headed towards the Galaxy Hotel in the West Capital City.
This Galaxy Hotel is a landmark building in the West Capital, and those entering are either rich or noble. The young man led Yang Tian and Ling Ying inside, and they were imdiately greeted by the lobby manager, who bowed respectfully: "Huang, are these the Mr. Chen that Madam ntioned?"
"Yes, manager, please take good care of them. I'll inform Madam." The young man said, then left.
The lobby manager personally poured a cup of Longjing tea for Yang Tian and Ling Ying, warmly entertaining them, but seeing that Yang Tian didn't want to talk much, she sensibly left.
"Yang, foster mother will be here soon, I'll avoid her for a bit."
After saying this, Ling Ying walked out.
Yang Tian wanted to say sothing but seeing Ling Ying's intent to leave, he reluctantly agreed.
But just after Ling Ying walked out, a commotion arose.
Yang Tian frowned upon hearing an angry shout: "Are you blind? Walking without looking? How dare you bump into ?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian's face turned cold as he stepped outside to find Ling Ying with a cold expression.
In front of Ling Ying stood an old man.
This old man looked distressed, with a heavily burdened appearance. Being bumped by Ling Ying, his temper flared, erupting instantly.
"Are you blind? Apologize imdiately!"
The old man, seeing Ling Ying standing there coldly, started scolding.
But Ling Ying remained icy, showing no intention of responding, which further infuriated the old man. He raised his hand to slap Ling Ying.
Smack!
Yang Tian caught the old man's wrist.
With a slight grip, the old man yelped in pain.
"You dare hit ?"
The old man glared angrily at Yang Tian.
"We don't want any trouble."
Yang Tian gently pushed, causing the old man to fall to the ground with a thud.
The old man, not being foolish, realized Yang Tian was formidable after witnessing this act. He coldly glanced at Yang Tian and walked away: "Just you wait!"
"Yang, I'm tempted to kill!"
As the old man walked away, Ling Ying said icily.
"Don't be impulsive. This old man is burdened with troubles, hence his anger."
Yang Tian advised.
Ling Ying wanted to say more, but just then, the young man's voice sounded from ahead: "Madam, this way, Mr. Chen is just ahead..."
"Foster mother is here..."
Ling Ying said quickly, heading in the other direction.
Shortly after she left, Chu Qian appeared with an old man, looking excited as she spotted Yang Tian: "Young master!"
But Yang Tian's attention was on the old man beside Chu Qian.
It was the sa old man who had just had a conflict with Ling Ying.
The old man also saw Yang Tian, his face darkened: "Chu Qian, who is this to you?"
Chu Qian, not being foolish, furrowed her brows and asked, "Master Wu, do you know Yang Tian?"
"I don't know him, but earlier, he hurt my wrist!"
The old man said harshly.
"Master Wu, could this be a misunderstanding?"
Chu Qian frowned.
"Chu Qian, regardless of any misunderstanding, you owe my Wu Family. I ca all the way from the East Sea to seek your help..."
The old man began, but Yang Tian interrupted: "So you're from the Wu Family, one of the four families of the East Sea? Is Wu Yue your granddaughter?"
"How do you know?" The old man was taken aback but scrutinized Yang Tian, "I don't care how you know my granddaughter, but today, you must apologize!"
"Master Wu, he can't apologize to you. Even if he did wrong, you don't have the right to demand an apology! Because he is a descendant of the Chen Family!"
"What?!!"
