Chapter 122 Assassin Training Class
In the principal's office, He Jingfeng sat in the chair representing the guests, with three taciturn men in black standing behind him.

Tang Miaoxing sat in the principal's seat, his hands crossed on the desk, with three people standing on either side of him.

The man on the left was a taciturn old man with a white beard. Tang Miaoxing introduced him as his junior brother, Tang Qiushan.

The two men on the right, one old and one middle-aged, had unfriendly expressions and seemed difficult to get along with. They were Zhang Wang, a weapon refiner from the Tang Clan, who was skilled in weapon refining and mechanical arts.

As for the last middle-aged man, he is Tang Mingliao, the mentor of Tang Wenlong, who represented the Tang Clan in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!

These three people, along with the sect leader Tang Miaoxing, are the four high-ranking officials currently in charge of the Tang Sect.

The fact that the four of them entertained He Jingfeng together shows how much Tang Miaoxing valued him.

"Can we talk now?"

Tang Miaoxing stared at He Jingfeng and asked, "What brings you here, Pavilion Master?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

He Jingfeng smiled and said, "As the head of the Tang Clan, you must have heard rumors about the predecessor of the Netherworld Pavilion, right?"

Tang Miaoxing said in a deep voice: "Are you referring to the underground assassin organization that once spanned Europe and America, the Spear of God?"

He Jingfeng nodded and said, "That's right. Now that the Spear of God has been incorporated into Bai Yujing, although it has transformed into a transnational superhuman force, it still retains some of its previous businesses."

"From this perspective, we can be considered to be in the same industry as yours."

Tang Miaoxing's gaze sharpened. He exchanged a glance with his two junior brothers beside him and shook his head, saying, "The Tang Clan stopped doing this kind of business a long time ago. You might as well just say what you want to say!"

"Yes, the current situation in the East really does not allow you to do such a thing again."

He Jingfeng glanced at him and said, "But... the skills that the Tang Clan has inherited for thousands of years were forged in such situations. Without the experience of life and death, one cannot grasp their essence."

"The sect leader has also noticed that the overall quality of the Tang Sect has been declining in recent years."

"The newly recruited disciples are getting worse with each generation; they no longer possess the prowess they displayed in the Battle of Mianshan!"

"Even your prized skill, Pill Devouring, is now rarely inherited by anyone, is it?"

When they heard what was going on, Tang Miaoxing and the others just looked a little grim.

But upon hearing the last sentence about the current situation related to Dan Shi, Tang Miaoxing and the others' expressions all darkened.

Zhang Wang frowned deeply, his face darkening as he said, "Sect Master He, haven't you crossed the line?"

"Don't say anything more!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Miaoxing raised her hand and blocked his way, saying calmly, "Let Pavilion Master He finish speaking."

He Jingfeng smiled and said softly, "My request today is very simple. After all, the Spear of God is a Western force. Even after being incorporated into the Netherworld Pavilion by Bai Yujing, most of the high-ranking members of the pavilion are still Westerners."

“I don’t like this situation, so I want to introduce some forces in the East.”

"You can interpret it as my personal preference, or you can consider it as the so-called art of balance."

"In short, among the many Eastern supernatural forces, the first one that caught my eye was the Tang Clan, which is also known for its assassinations!"

At this point, He Jingfeng's meaning was quite clear.

He looked at Tang Miaoxing calmly and said, "Sect Leader Tang, cooperate with me!"

"You provide me with talent, and I will provide you with opportunities for assassination training. Moreover, I can guarantee that all missions assigned to the Tang Clan will conform to Eastern values, and there will never be any instances of indiscriminate killing for money!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qiushan and Zhang Wang exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Only Tang Miaoxing remained expressionless, seemingly unmoved.

"I appreciate Pavilion Master He's kindness, but the Tang Clan has been at peace for a long time, and the younger generation is of mixed quality. If they go to the Netherworld Pavilion for training at this time, losing their lives is a small matter, but ruining Pavilion Master He's business is a big deal!"

He Jingfeng laughed and said, "Does the sect leader look down on me?"

Tang Miaoxing shook his head and said, "How could I dare? It's just that we have different paths and cannot work together!"

"What a fine example of 'those who walk different paths cannot make plans together'!"

He Jingfeng exclaimed, "The Netherworld Pavilion is desperately in need of a leader like him!"

Seeing that He Jingfeng still wouldn't give up, Tang Miaoxing couldn't help but frown.

"Master He, I respect you as a great man and do not wish to speak too bluntly..."

"Of course I know that!"

He Jingfeng smiled and said, "Sect Leader, please don't misunderstand. The Netherworld Pavilion is not the kind of power you imagine. The assassination business is only a part of our vast industry."

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, we will gradually reduce this aspect of our business until we completely transform our operations."

"To achieve this goal, we even shut down the Spear of God's training base and relocated the orphans we had previously taken in, giving them a life other than that of assassins."

"For this reason, there will definitely be a shortage of manpower in the future, which is why I want to cooperate with your company."

"This cooperation is only temporary, and you can terminate it at any time if you wish."

"Of course, if the cooperation goes smoothly, the Tang Sect can also join the Netherworld Pavilion's other businesses. It's not impossible for them to become partners!"

At this point, Tang Miaoxing and the others fell silent.

He Jingfeng smiled slightly and continued, "As for the issue of stance, there is no need for the sect leader to worry. The depth of our cooperation with the company far exceeds all outside speculation."

"Believe it or not, I can get my company to lobby your company on my behalf with just one phone call?"

real or fake?

Tang Qiushan and Zhang Wang looked suspicious. Tang Miaoxing said softly, "I have no doubt about the Pavilion Master's power, but this is indeed not something I can decide on my own. We need to hold a high-level meeting to discuss it carefully."

"Then I'll give you some time to discuss this properly!"

Seeing that Tang Miaoxing's attitude had softened, He Jingfeng nodded and then said with a smile, "No matter what the outcome, the gates of the Netherworld Pavilion will always be open to your family, and one of the seven Shadow seats in the pavilion will always be reserved for the sect leader."

"..."

Tang Miaoxing's expression was complicated. He sighed and said, "The Pavilion Master's generosity makes me seem pretentious!"

He Jingfeng shook his head and said, "Sect Leader, you misunderstand. Offering these conditions is not out of generosity, but out of my personal respect for those Tang Sect martyrs from back then..."

After saying that, he got up from his chair and turned to walk towards the principal's office door.

The three taciturn men in black also turned around and followed He Jingfeng.

Tang Miaoxing and the others stared blankly at He Jingfeng's retreating figure, unsure whether it was just words of persuasion or his true thoughts...

Just then, He Jingfeng, who had just opened the door, suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and turned around, saying:

"Oh, by the way, the Netherworld Pavilion also has quite a bit of business in the island nation to the east..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Miaoxing and the others all changed their expressions.

He Jingfeng smiled slightly before leaving the principal's office.

After he left, the four people in the room looked at each other and fell silent.

After a moment, Tang Miaoxing broke the silence first: "Tell me your opinions."

Zhang Wang and Tang Qiushan exchanged a glance, and the latter hesitated before saying, "I think either way is fine..."

What's the difference between saying that and not saying anything at all?
Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang exchanged a silent glance with him.

There's nothing we can do; this old guy is inherently indecisive, so asking him to make a decision is really difficult.

Tang Miaoxing shook her head and turned to look at Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "If they can guarantee the safety of my Tang Clan disciples, I think we can cooperate."

"Would you like to hear what you're saying?"

Tang Miaoxing said calmly, "If we guarantee safety, how can we undergo the trials of life and death?"

Zhang Wang frowned and said, "You really want to use this opportunity to train your disciples?"

"Otherwise what?" Tang Miaoxing glanced at him and said, "Otherwise what are we after? Is it because the Netherworld Pavilion is so big and powerful that we can make money from it?"

Zhang Wang said angrily, "That's not what I meant!"

Tang Miaoxing shook her head and said, "I know that's not what you meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Wang sneered, "You only care about training your disciples, not their safety?"

Tang Miaoxing frowned and fell silent.

Zhang Wang said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You also want to cooperate with the Netherworld Pavilion, right? But your purpose is not only to let your disciples gain experience, but also to take this opportunity to cultivate a few potential Pill Devourers!"

"you--"

"What are you!"

Zhang Wang said coldly, "Whether it's you or anyone else, although there's a difference between the inner and outer sects, we've all been brothers since childhood. I don't need to explain what happened between Brothers Tingfeng and Guanhai, do I?"

Tang Miaoxing's face darkened.

Tang Qiushan, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, stop talking, Xiaoming is still here!"

Zhang Wang glanced at Tang Ming, who looked embarrassed, snorted, and turned his head away, refusing to look at Tang Miaoxing.

Seeing this, Tang Qiushan sighed and said helplessly, "I can tell that you two both want to cooperate, but you have different opinions on the treatment of your disciples."

"In that case, why don't we ask the children down there?"

As he spoke, he turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Xiao Ming, what are you thinking?"

"me?"

Tang Ming, who had been speechless for a while, scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I haven't thought much about it, but I do think that going abroad for training is indeed a good choice."

"You see, even military doctors in China have to study abroad to gain experience in treating gunshot wounds."

"Isn't it the same principle for us Tang Clan disciples to go abroad for further studies?"

"How can that be the same?" Zhang Wang said irritably. "Military doctors only treat wounds, but we're here to kill people!"

Tang Mingqi said, "You always complained that we lacked experience, so why are you more worried than us now that it's time to act?"

Zhang Wang was speechless for a moment, and in a fit of anger, he slapped Tang Ming on the back.

Tang Ming took the slap with a forced smile and said, "Actually, I had a similar understanding when I chose to join the Tang Clan. As for others, I don't know, but they should be similar to me."

“I am not opposed to killing those who deserve to die.”

"If it's an island nation, that would be even better!"
