After a while.

The four of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and Wei Hong brewed a pot of spiritual tea and poured it for Tang Yi and the other two.

After pouring a cup of spiritual tea, Wei Hong gestured, "Haha, this place is simple, and I can only offer spiritual tea to the three Taoist friends. I hope you can forgive me if I am not welcoming enough!"

Fang Ping and He Chong quickly waved their hands to show that they didn't mind.

They knew that Wei Hong had killed Cao Jiang. Cao Jiang was definitely a powerful man to the two of them, but he still died at the hands of Wei Hong. Therefore, Fang Ping and He Chong were naturally very polite to Wei Hong.

Tang Yi poured the cup of spiritual tea but did not touch it. Wei Hong noticed that he frowned inadvertently, and then immediately relaxed his brows, as if he was really dissatisfied with his way of hospitality.

Moreover, when Tang Yi looked around the yard, his eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, as if he looked down on this place at all.

Wei Hong frowned secretly in his heart, but appeared calm on the surface.

He pretended not to see anything and was just curious about the purpose of Tang Yi and the other two coming here.

Wei Hong didn't know much about the Guangning Tang family. He only knew that the Guangning Tang family, like the Nanxi Cao family, was one of the several Jindan families within the influence of the Cangshan Immortal City. As for whether the Guangning Tang family had a genuine Jindan-stage cultivator, or was just a fake Jindan-stage cultivator like the ancestor of the Cao family, it was not known for the time being.

Tang Yi didn't seem to want to keep the secret. He sat down and got straight to the point: "Daoyou Wei, I heard that you recently offended the Cao family of Nanxi Mountain. Is that true?"

After these words were spoken, not to mention Wei Hong, even Fang Ping and He Chong next to them had a trace of helplessness on their faces. They did not expect Tang Yi to ask so directly.

However, the two of them were guests of the Tang family, so it was not appropriate for them to give orders to Tang Yi. Moreover, they came only as a foil this time, and Tang Yi was the one in charge.

Wei Hong frowned secretly in his heart, but nodded calmly on the surface, "Yes, it is true. I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Tang and the other two have also heard about it."

Zhu Ming had mentioned to him long ago that the matter of offending the Cao family had already spread throughout Cangshan Fairy City. If he tried to cover it up at this time, he would inevitably be looked down upon, so he admitted it directly.

Seeing Wei Hong nod in acknowledgement, Tang Yi chuckled and said, "Haha, now the Cao family has made a harsh statement, saying that they will fight to the death with you. You are safe in this spiritual plant garden, but you can't stay here forever, right?"

"The Cao family is famous for being petty. They will never give up until they have their revenge."

"Fellow Daoist, if you leave this spiritual plant garden, you may be ambushed by the Cao family. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei has ever considered this?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hong had already looked down on Tang Yi in his heart. He had seen too many people who tried to bluff people as soon as they opened their mouths. It was absolutely impossible for Tang Yi to bluff him with this. From Tang Yi's action, he seemed to see that this person was not mature in doing things, and he also saw similarities between Tang Yi and Cao Hang.

"Tsk, it turns out that the kids from big families all behave in a similar way!" Wei Hong sneered secretly in his heart.

He glanced at Tang Yi calmly, but nodded unexpectedly and said, "Of course I have considered it, but Brother Tang is wrong about one thing. Why can't Wei stay here forever? Why must he leave?"

"If the Cao family wants to waste time, I can accompany them!"

Wei Hong's answer really surprised Tang Yi.

Tang Yi's face flashed with surprise, and then he frowned and asked: "Fellow Daoist Wei, are you thinking too simply? Maybe you can stay in the Spiritual Plant Garden for a short period of time, but it is impossible to stay there for decades, right?"

"How can you collect the elixirs and materials needed for cultivation if you don't leave the Spiritual Plant Garden? Are you willing to let your cultivation stagnate just to avoid retaliation from the Cao family?"

"If you really have this idea, I'm afraid the outcome won't be very good!"

Since Wei Hong did not follow the routine that Tang Yi had planned in advance, he could only use both intimidation and terror.

But Wei Hong's face darkened when he heard this, and he immediately said in a cold voice: "Fellow Daoist Tang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If it's all the words you just said, forget it. I don't want to hear any nonsense."

Originally, Wei Hong was quite polite to Tang Yi, a member of the Tang family. However, from the moment he sat down, his attitude and the words he said made Wei Hong feel very unhappy, so his attitude became cold.

When Tang Yi saw Wei Hong's attitude, his face suddenly became a little ugly, but when he thought about the fact that the task assigned by the patriarch had not been completed, he could only take a deep breath and temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

Tang Yi stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "In that case, I'll be frank. This time, our Guangning Tang family sent me to visit you because we wanted to tell you that we are willing to provide you with shelter. We can help you solve this problem and ensure that the Cao family will not retaliate against you. As I said at the beginning, this is a good thing for both you and me. What do you think, Wei Daoyou?"

It was not until this time that Tang Yi truly revealed the purpose of their trip.

Although Wei Hong had expected this, he still couldn't help but feel a little surprised and astonished. He frowned and asked, "What can your Tang family do to guarantee that the Cao family will not retaliate against me again? What are the conditions for your Tang family to provide me with shelter?"

There is no free lunch in this world. He knows very well that he may have to pay a greater price to get the protection of the Tang family.

As expected, Tang Yi immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei is indeed a smart man. I will not waste words. I definitely have conditions. As long as Fellow Daoist Wei is willing to join our Tang family as a guest official and agree to sign a spiritual contract with our Tang family to serve for 20 years, then our Tang family can protect you and guarantee to help you solve this trouble."

"As for how to guarantee this, Fellow Daoist Wei will understand once he agrees."

After saying this, Tang Yi couldn't help but reveal a hint of complacency and pride on his face. It seemed that he had expected Wei Hong to agree immediately. After all, such an opportunity was very rare.

Only the Guangning Tang family, which is also a Jindan family, dared to make such a promise and say that they could provide him with shelter. If they did not have the same or even stronger strength as the Cao family, how could they help Wei Hong solve this trouble!

In Tang Yi's opinion, exchanging twenty years for his life and preserving his immortal path, this is definitely a great thing that is impossible to find even with a lantern!

If it weren't for Wei Hong's outstanding strength, their Tang family would not have given him such an opportunity.

For a moment, Tang Yi's gaze towards Wei Hong became somewhat condescending.

But after Wei Hong heard the conditions offered by the Tang family, he refused without a second thought:

"No need for that. I have my own way to solve this problem. Fellow Daoist Tang, please go back!"
