After listening to Jiang Liufeng’s words, Cangwu took a deep breath and slowly said, ”Master, according to your meaning, are you worried that there might be third-party forces involved this time, deliberately framing the Tang Family and Yang Family, causing the young master to clash with these two forces ahead of time, and then sitting back to reap the benefits?”

”It’s not out of the question.”

Jiang Liufeng nodded and said, ”That’s why I asked if there have been any movements with the Tang Family and Yang Family recently.”

”No movement whatsoever.”

Cangwu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, ”During this period, the Yang Family and Tang Family showed no sign of movement, nothing out of the ordinary.”

Upon hearing Cangwu’s words, Jiang Liufeng fell silent. No movement at all; that is the strangest part. Something so big happened on Qin Island, and given the hatred between the Yang Family and Tang Family, it’s impossible for them to be indifferent. Yet, they remained indifferent, which is curious.

Could it be that the event was indeed secretly planned by the Tang Family and Yang Family?

A thought flashed through Jiang Liufeng’s mind. He looked at Cangwu and said, ”Cangwu, keep investigating the Yang Family and Tang Family during this period, and also have someone thoroughly look into what’s been happening with the Mu Family, especially regarding their little princess. By all means, investigate thoroughly in the shortest time possible; I want to know everything about her.”

”Yes, Master. I’ll pass down your orders immediately,” Cangwu said respectfully.

After leaving the pavilion, Lu Tianxing didn’t head back to his residence but drove away from the Eight Great Passes Villa. Before leaving, he made a call to Sima Lingyun, arranged a meeting place, and drove straight there.

The meeting place for Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun wasn’t particularly secretive—it also wasn’t some upscale restaurant or private club but rather a tea house.

At this moment, Sima Lingyun was sitting by the window in a corner of the tea house, calmly sipping tea, eyes quietly fixated on the scenery outside, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Due to the morning rush hour, even though the tea house wasn’t too far from the Eight Great Passes Villa, it still took Lu Tianxing nearly an hour to get there.

After stabilizing the car, Lu Tianxing got out and walked straight into the tea house, without any delay.

After gesturing for the oncoming waiter to leave, Lu Tianxing glanced around and immediately spotted Sima Lingyun sitting in the corner, walking over without hesitation.

Sima Lingyun noticed Lu Tianxing almost instantly, but he did not stand up and continued to sit, absentmindedly looking out the window.

Lu Tianxing walked directly to Sima Lingyun’s spot and, without politeness, sat down across from him as if he were at home. He took the teapot sitting before Sima Lingyun, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped leisurely.

”Judge, why did you call me out today?” Sima Lingyun asked upon seeing Lu Tianxing’s actions.

”Can’t I invite you out for tea and relaxation?” Lu Tianxing said with a faint smile.

”Others might invite me for tea out of sheer boredom, but you, Third Young Master of the Lu Family, would never do that.”

Sima Lingyun looked deeply at Lu Tianxing and said indifferently, ”You’re never one to visit without reason. Just tell me what you’re after this time or what you need assistance with.”

”You truly know me, Sima Lingyun.”

Lu Tianxing smiled faintly, not beating around the bush, saying directly: ”I plan to go to Beijing in the next few days.”

”What did you say?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Sima Lingyun’s brow immediately furrowed into a character: ”川” meaning River: ”You want to go to Beijing?”

Sima Lingyun was a hundred times unwilling for Lu Tianxing to enter Beijing. To be blunt, Lu Tianxing was a bringer of trouble. Wherever he went, turmoil followed. It took a lot for Beijing to settle down, but if Lu Tianxing were to enter Beijing now, Sima Lingyun could almost foresee the upheavals that would ensue.

This wasn’t speculation; it was certainty.

”Indeed, I want to go to Beijing.”

Lu Tianxing, as if anticipating Sima Lingyun’s reaction, spoke with a calm tone: ”I suppose you know from Chen Kunchang who the mastermind behind the attempt on me is. They wish for my demise, planning endlessly against me. Don’t you think I should send them something to show that Lu Tianxing isn’t easily bullied?”

”Judge, don’t do anything reckless. Though your strength is top-tier, the Yang Family is not as simple as you think, let alone the Tang Family. The Tang Family dominates Shu, and Tang Qingyun is the heir of the Tang Family. Now that Tang Qingyun is in Beijing, do you think the Tang Family hasn’t equipped him with lifesaving resources? If you dare enter Beijing, it’s a dead end.”

”A dead end?”

Lu Tianxing raised his hand and took a sip of tea, ”When Avril was in Beijing, you said the same, yet here I am, alive and well.”

Without waiting for Lu Tianxing to finish, Sima Lingyun interrupted, ”This time is different from last.”

”What difference? It’s just a change in opponents, from Tang Family and Yang Family,” Lu Tianxing said indifferently, ”Moreover, you should know my disposition. I don’t enjoy being on the defensive; I prefer taking the initiative. Also, Sima Lingyun, you should know you can’t stop me. I’m telling you this so you’re prepared mentally. This time, in Beijing, I intend to either die or cause a massive upheaval. Whoever stands in my way is my enemy. Moreover, I know you have a good relationship with Mu Qingchuan. Relay a message to him for me: soon, I will pay a visit to the Mu Family.”

With those words, Lu Tianxing said no more, lifted the teacup, drank its contents in one go, then stood up and walked straight out.

Sima Lingyun, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and watching his departing figure, frowned deeply. He was aware of the situation involving Mu Qingxue and Lu Tianxing and knew that Mu Qingxue loved Lu Tianxing dearly, willing to do anything for him. Now that Lu Tianxing is headed to Beijing not just for Tang Qingyun and Yang Family, but also targeting Mu Family, does he plan to break ties with Mu Family and forcibly take Mu Qingxue?
