One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Although I, Tang Miaoxing, am a rough man, I know that the word 'innocence' is of paramount importance!"

He turned his head, looking at Zhang Tianyi and Zhang Chulan, with a look of utter desperation:

"In order to clear the Tang Clan of suspicion and to give the Celestial Master's Mansion a clear and transparent explanation!"

I propose that you, the real people, personally enter the Tang Tomb to investigate!

I, the old man, will personally lead the way for you! Even if there is some shameful misfortune in your family, I will clean house in front of you and show no leniency!

These words were spoken with such powerful and moving force.

Zhang Chulan, who was standing next to him, was stunned and thought to himself, "How come this Tang Sect Master is even more dramatic than me?"

Just a moment ago they were protecting the forbidden area like it was their lifeline, but now they're rushing to pull people in?

"Senior brother! Are you crazy?!"

Zhang Wang was the first to get angry.

The old man in charge of the political education department jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He rushed to Tang Miaoxing and growled in a low voice, but the sound could be heard throughout the entire room:

"What kind of place is the Tang Tomb? It's the final resting place of our ancestors and the place where our disciples secluded themselves for cultivation! How can we allow outsiders to enter so easily?!"

"How can you be a sect leader? You're even abandoning the ancestral rules just to prove your innocence?!"

"Rules are made by people! What's the use of just having an empty shell if your reputation is ruined?!" Tang Miaoxing glared back without backing down.

"That can't ruin the foundation! I absolutely disagree!" Zhang Wang wouldn't budge an inch.

The two old men, whose combined age was nearly two hundred, started arguing fiercely in the reception room.

The more Zhang Wang argued, the more awkward he felt.

He knew his senior brother all too well.

Tang Miaoxing usually seems straightforward, but she is definitely not the kind of impulsive person who would disregard the bigger picture for the sake of saving face.

Zhang Tianyi has already given us a way out, so going with the flow is the best option.

But my senior brother insisted on pushing things to the brink of disaster.

Something's not right.

Zhang Wang stared at Tang Miaoxing's flushed face, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Senior brother, are you... determined to get these people into the Tang Tomb?"

He keenly sensed the deliberate intent in Tang Miaoxing's words, but with outsiders present, he couldn't very well grab the sect leader by the collar and ask, "What kind of mess are you plotting?"

Zhang Wang could only swallow his suspicions and continue to play the role of a stubborn rule-abiding citizen with a stern face.

Just as the two old men were arguing fiercely...

"Buzz."

Zhang Tianyi's phone vibrated twice in his pocket.

He leaned back in his chair and slowly took out his phone.

The screen lit up; it displayed a new, unsigned message.

Zhang Tianyi glanced at the content on the screen.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He glanced at it once and then casually put the phone back in his pocket.

"Alright, alright, you two old folks, calm down for a bit."

Zhang Tianyi bent his fingers and tapped twice on the wooden table.

The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to have some kind of magic, abruptly stopping Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang's argument.

"It's so noisy it's giving me a headache."

Zhang Tianyi stood up, stretched, and looked at Tang Miaoxing, saying:

"Master Tang, I appreciate your kind intentions."

"But I won't wander into your family's ancestral graves. That place has a lot of yin energy, and I can't stand seeing those things so early in the morning."

Tang Miaoxing was stunned, and all the words she had just prepared were stuck in her throat.

"But what about the real person, their innocence..."

"There are plenty of ways to prove your innocence, why do you have to dig up your own ancestral graves?"

Zhang Tianyi interrupted him and pointed to the door:

"This Thousand-Day Intoxication, wasn't it stolen from your so-called Imperial Treasury?"

"The crime scene is still there."

"Come on, take me to the warehouse where you lost your stuff."

"Since you your own people can't figure it out, I'll go take a look myself. Maybe I can uncover some trivial details you've missed."

Upon hearing this, Tang Miaoxing's eyes flickered.

Although they failed to lure the person directly into the Tang Tomb, it was still a good opportunity to have this unfathomable master of the Celestial Master's Mansion personally investigate the clues.

The Tang Clan investigated all night but couldn't find a single clue. Perhaps this gentleman can actually see something.

"Since the real person is willing to take action personally, that's perfect!"

Tang Miaoxing nodded decisively and agreed, "Old man, I'll lead the way for you right away."

Upon hearing that outsiders wanted to go to the inner treasury, Zhang Wang, who was standing nearby, instinctively tried to stop them:

"Senior brother! The inner treasury is a highly confidential place, how can it be..."

"Ok?"

Zhang Tianyi turned his head and glanced at Zhang Wang lightly.

There was no fierce killing intent, nor any terrifying pressure.

I just glanced at it casually.

But Zhang Wang felt a tightness in his throat, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were blocked by a large rock, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He silently looked away, puffed out his cheeks, and finally chose to keep quiet.

"That's right, it's so much better when everyone gets along well."

Zhang Tianyi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and patted off non-existent dust from his body:

"Let's go. Chu Lan, baby, keep up."

Zhang Chulan quickly responded and followed behind eagerly.

After leaving the reception room, the group, led by Tang Miaoxing, headed towards the stone wall deep within the old Tang Clan campus.

The morning mist in the mountains had not yet dissipated.

Zhang Tianyi walked on the bluestone slabs, his steps neither hurried nor slow.

With his hands in his pockets, his fingertips gently rubbed the edge of his phone.

The contents of that text message just flashed through his mind.

"interesting……"

He chuckled to himself.

Chapter 193 The Great Luo Cave Observation?!

The back mountain of Tangmen is steep and covered with lush forests.

Led by Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Clan, Zhang Tianyi and his group followed a secluded path overgrown with weeds, winding their way into the depths of the mountains.

The road is designed to be very tricky, with many forks in the road and the surrounding vegetation planted according to some kind of formation. If you are not careful, you will lose your way.

"Phew... Sect Leader Tang, your storeroom is really well hidden, it's like an underground maze."

Zhang Chulan followed behind, pushing aside branches blocking his path while muttering to himself:

"Without navigation, even your own people would probably get completely lost, right?"

Tang Miaoxing walked at the front, and gave a wry smile:

"Brother Chu Lan, you flatter me. The Tang Clan is a dangerous profession, and we have many enemies."

This inner treasury contains the sect's most top-tier poisons and secret hidden weapons, so naturally, it's heavily guarded.

As they spoke, the group arrived at what appeared to be an ordinary, steep cliff face.

Tang Ming strode forward, his hands flying, skillfully snapping three buttons between the rocks, then pressing down hard on a protruding mechanism.

"Click-click-click..."

A dull, grinding sound came from inside the mountain.

The stone wall in front of them slowly caved inward, sliding open a hidden door that could only accommodate one person at a time.

After passing through a narrow passageway with walls riddled with holes for hidden weapons, the view suddenly opened up.

A massive, heavy steel door, covered with complex combination locks, appeared before everyone's eyes.

On either side of the gate stood two Tang Clan inner disciples with wary eyes.

Upon seeing Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang, these two big shots, the two immediately straightened their backs nervously.

"Master! My fellow advisors!"

Zhang Tianyi stopped and put his hands in the pockets of his Taoist robe.

He looked the door, which resembled a bank vault, up and down, then glanced at the two guards.

"Oh, Master Tang."

Zhang Tianyi raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on his lips:

"Your security work is quite thorough. Not only is there this intricate network of defenses, but you've also quickly replaced the gatekeepers with a new batch?"
