My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2013: Chapter 2009: More Than One Fiancée

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury."

Meng Xianjun smiled awkwardly and looked at Tang Ming with guilt, "Brother, I’m really sorry, I couldn’t protect Liu Mengting."

"What’s going on? Is there anyone else in the Imperial City who can hurt you?"

Tang Ming frowned, looking at Meng Xianjun, instinctively feeling that his injury must be related to Liu Mengting.

"Hey! You’ve been hiding too much, being the heir of the Huaxia Secret Technique. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming reproachfully.

"I did cultivate the Huaxia Secret Technique, but I later modified it with my own skills, so I didn’t confess it to you all."

Tang Ming smiled sheepishly.

"I understand! I get your situation, after all, the Huaxia Secret Technique is something everyone envies. Once it was revealed that you are the heir, the current Imperial City has become a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; many stronger people have emerged."

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with understanding, "A few days ago, people from Longya suddenly came to Imperial University to capture Liu Mengting. I fought with them; originally, those trash were no match for me, but then a strong person from the school injured me. If it weren’t for someone above me, I would have been captured by them.

Later, I heard that Liu Mengting was imprisoned at Longya’s headquarters, so I wanted to rescue her, but Dragon Group reinforcements had already arrived. Although those guys didn’t have any Three-star Martial Generals, they were well-equipped with the top-tier high-tech, so I could only escape injured, waiting to meet up with you."

"Indeed, it’s because of me that I got second brother injured; I’m really sorry."

Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun, feeling self-reproach.

"We’re brothers in this life, not in the next; saying such things is meaningless."

Meng Xianjun laughed indifferently and sighed helplessly, "But I ultimately failed to protect Liu Mengting for you, and as an elder brother, I feel guilty!"

"This matter happened so suddenly and reacted so intensely; it was something I didn’t anticipate, so it’s not your fault."

Tang Ming frowned, looking sullenly into the distance, "Who could have expected those despicable people from Heavenly Wolf Palace to make everything hidden public, making me a scapegoat while the Hua brothers became less significant."

"I don’t know what you are talking about?"

Meng Xianjun looked blankly at Tang Ming, "What do you plan to do next?"

"I’m also thinking about this. Right now, everyone close to me is being targeted, and I must find a way to turn the tide, but it seems hopeless."

Tang Ming sighed incessantly in distress.

"You shouldn’t think about turning the tide. Given the current situation, it’s not just the authorities targeting you; various factions in Martial Arts have also flocked to the Imperial City to capture you and obtain the Huaxia Secret Technique."

Meng Xianjun gave Tang Ming a side glance and advised, "Your only way out now is to return to the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect quickly. With the strength of your two masters, and the current power of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, it’s enough to handle those ill-willed people."

"Return? My people are all imprisoned, how can I face going back?"

Tang Ming shook his head and declared firmly, "They suffered because of me, and no matter what, I must find a way to rescue them."

"Come on, who needs you to rescue them?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with annoyance, "The Su Family, the Lin Family, and other families within the Ming Group factions all have support from above. Many experts within the families hold important positions in the Dragon Group. Although they are currently under surveillance, no one will dare harm them; otherwise, the Dragon Group would split internally instantly.

As for your subordinates, the elites are all within the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, and the remaining minor characters, the Dragon Group wouldn’t bother with them either, as they still have principles and won’t kill the innocent."

"Is that so?"

Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun uncertainly, "So, you are telling me Su Xiaoxi and Lin Xue and their families are all fine?"

"Of course, they are fine; it’s just that your direct forces are in a pitiful state. But, an arm cannot twist a thigh, and you alone have no way to make the Dragon Group bow."

Meng Xianjun nodded seriously.

"So, it seems I have no need... oh, what about Liu Mengting then?"

Tang Ming’s expression grew heavy.

"This..."

Meng Xianjun’s expression stiffened, then he sighed, "Liu Mengting’s situation is unfortunate; although she is the eldest lady of the Liu Family, their foundation is too weak, and they have no backing within the Dragon Group. Plus, she is your fiancée; they will keep her imprisoned unless they can capture you."

"Then I definitely can’t leave."

Tang Ming asserted firmly, "Abandoning my woman to survive alone, that’s something I, Tang Ming, would never do."

"What do you plan to do? Even with my strength, I couldn’t rescue Liu Mengting. Even if we team up, it would be futile, and it’s essentially walking into a trap."

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming worriedly.

"I can’t leave her behind, no matter what, I have to find a way to rescue her."

Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun with determination.

"Are you stubborn? You have so many women; why be so set on Liu Mengting? Women are like clothes, risking your life for one is not worth it."

Meng Xianjun advised, speechless.

"Second Brother! Although I have many women, I am sincere towards each of them, not just seeking physical pleasure."

Tang Ming looked earnestly at Meng Xianjun, "Liu Mengting..."

Tang Ming trailed off, memories of his journey with Liu Meng flashing through his mind. From their initial dislike and intention to break the engagement, to the unexplainable engagement later on, she had become rooted in his heart.

"What’s so special about Liu Mengting? Compared to Mu Zixin’s family background, Rui Si’s strength, and Xia Wei’er’s status, I don’t see what makes you so enchanted with her."

Meng Xianjun was thoroughly defeated by Tang Ming; in his mind, dying for a woman was stupendously foolish.

"I can’t explain it clearly, can feelings really be explained?"

Tang Ming shook his head, "In any case, I must find a way to rescue Liu Mengting."

"Alright, I yield to you! Since you want to rescue her, you should try to contact the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect and have your two masters intervene; that way, it’s safer."

Meng Xianjun suggested rationally.

"Right! But I can’t reach them; my phone can’t get through, I don’t know why?"

Tang Ming sulked, pursing his lips.

"Nonsense! If the authorities are moving against you, they won’t let you call for reinforcements easily. I suspect the communications around the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect have been blocked by someone, and the people on the mountain probably don’t know what’s happening. Plus, I bet the way back to the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect won’t be peaceful either."

Meng Xianjun confidently speculated.
