Douluo: Tang San took me to the Wuhun Palace

Chapter 452 Old Xu's Figure

Pleasant gatherings always seem to fly by.

The next morning, everyone gathered in a conference room.

We sent everyone out a while ago, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

Fortunately, after resting and adjusting, the group had already integrated the information.

However, not everyone benefits from this.

The thickness of the paper wasn't necessarily different. The paper was placed on the table, and everyone quickly glanced at it. In no time, they had memorized what was on the paper. The next instant, a flash of fire appeared, and the paper quickly turned to ashes.

Tang Qi stroked the yawning Xiangxiang in her arms, then lowered her eyes and stared absently at Xiangxiang's head.

There is still too little information, especially information about Lao Xu and his group.

Where exactly are these people hiding, and more importantly, what have they been doing?

With their seemingly clueless appearance, it's easy to suffer a great loss if you're not careful when cooperating with them.

In the short time that everyone was lost in thought, they had all finished reading the information and their eyes were fixed on the thin sheet of information about Lao Xu, which was barely half a page long.

"Tsk, they really know how to hide things. You've been gone for so long and this is all you've found." Yan crossed his arms, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and read the few lines over and over again.

Tang Qi sighed softly.

Old Xu and his group were able to hold out until now, so finding them must not be easy. I just didn't expect it to be this difficult to investigate.

We can probably only try starting from the Ice Feather Sea.

She stopped playing with Xiangxiang's tail and looked up to notice that everyone had already quieted down, each lost in thought or drawing on paper.

After looking around, Tang Qi quietly peeked at the paper where Tang San was writing something.

Seeing that Tang San was sorting out more detailed information, she quietly pulled her head back and then peeked out to see what Jiang Qianjing was doing.

After observing the surroundings, Tang Qi turned her attention back to the documents.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled out a piece of paper from the side, twirled the pen in her hand, and considered where to begin.

After staring at the name "Old Xu" for a while, Tang Qi stopped twirling her pen and wrote down Bing Linghai's name.

Although we don't contact each other frequently, this is indeed a good starting point.

Then, she closed her eyes and began to organize her thoughts.

Xiangxiang felt the gentle touch on her head again, and her tail swayed slowly before hanging down freely again.

The room fell completely quiet, with only a few snores coming from Xiangxiang every now and then.

The sunlight moved slowly across the window and disappeared without us even noticing.

Tang Qi shook her slightly sore wrist, but her eyes were on checking if she had made any mistakes in her writing.

Besides the known information, there was also a part of unverified rumors, all of which she marked.

After confirming that everything was correct, she stretched, picked up Xiangxiang and placed her on the table. After glancing out the window, she carefully slipped the paper into Tang San's hand.

Tang San glanced at her, then picked up the paper, quickly scanned it, and waved for Tang Qi to do whatever she wanted.

Seeing this, Tang Qi quietly left the room, preparing to go and bring back some food.

We've been together for so long today, but neither the information we've received nor the plans we've discussed have yielded any good results.

After wandering around for a while, Tang Qi sighed and returned to her room with the several large food boxes carried by Gem Orchid.

The food box was slightly opened, and all sorts of aromas kept wafting into everyone's noses.

"I can't eat now." Yan scratched his hair, slammed his pen on the table, and walked up to Tang Qi in a few steps.

He glanced at the food boxes on the table, knowing that there was one for each person, and reached over Tang Qi, taking one in each hand and sitting down next to Hu Liena.

Tang Qi paused for a moment, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent. She simply directed Gem Orchid to put down the food boxes one by one.

Glancing at the food box beside her, Jiang Qianjing quickened her pace, intending to finish the last bit before eating.

As Tang Qi passed by him, she glanced at him and, guessing his thoughts, went to urge Tang San.

"Brother, let's eat first, it won't make a difference if it takes a little more time." Tang Qi grabbed Tang San's hand, making him unable to move.

I've been busy all day. I ate lunch, but it was just a quick bite. Now that I'm back, I can't just eat whatever I feel like outside.

Tang San put down his pen, placed the stack of papers in front of him aside, and looked at the person who hadn't moved yet with a smirk, "Aren't you going to urge the others over there?"

"Don't change the subject. Jiang Jiang was just a little short, but you weren't." Tang Qi turned to look at Jiang Qianjing. "Look, it's perfect now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qianjing quickly tidied up the things on the table, set out the food, and handed the remaining few sheets of paper to Tang San.

Seeing that the two were about to eat, Tang Qi sat down.

After dinner, the group gathered again to discuss the matter once more.

This time, the discussion went on until late at night, with the moon hanging high in the branches and the stars twinkling.

After tidying up, everyone went to a lounge to make do.

After a day of integration and discussion, everyone was busy with their own things for the next few days, only occasionally gathering in twos and threes to exchange information.

By the time Tang Qi finished her work, half a month had already slipped away unnoticed.

In the courtyard, Tang Qi lay half-reclined on the swing as if boneless, gently pushed by the Gem Orchid, while Xiang Xiang lay on her belly, swishing her tail idly. Sunlight dappled through the air, casting mottled shadows.

Tang San brought in breakfast and gently tapped Tang Qi's forehead with his finger. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come and eat."

Tang Qi squinted her eyes a crack and lazily raised her hand, "Brother, you should go back and rest. You've been busy all night."

After she finished speaking, she slowly got up, but forgot to lie on top of her and smell her fragrance. As a result, Xiangxiang rolled over and almost fell off.

Xiangxiang opened her eyes blankly, stopped wagging her tail, and tilted her head to look straight at Tang Qi. "Meow?"

Tang Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly shut her mouth for fear of making Xiangxiang angry. She gently patted Xiangxiang's head to comfort her, "I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, I didn't mean to."

Xiangxiang turned her head away from her, showing through her actions that she had heard and was very angry.

Seeing this, Tang Qi hurriedly went over to comfort and coax her. After finally calming her down, she looked up and saw Tang San watching the show with a smirk.

"Brother! You should go back to sleep. Look at your dark circles, you look like you've been beaten up."

Tang San leaned against the tree trunk with his arms crossed, saying, "I just washed my face and woke up."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, not giving Tang Qi a chance to continue speaking.

Tang Qi turned her head to eat her breakfast. Anyway, she had just been talking nonsense. Her brother only had a few dark circles, which were not noticeable unless you looked closely. She just wanted him to go and rest.

After finishing her meal, she casually put Xiangxiang on her shoulder and prepared to go for a stroll.

Leave some gemstone orchids around as well; they might come in handy someday.

"Meow, meow." Qiqi, I want to eat something delicious.

Tang Qi nodded, "Okay, I'll spend today playing with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang's eyes lit up, and she nuzzled Tang Qi's face with her head, her tail wagging back and forth.

Tang Qi nuzzled back, casually ruffling the kitten's head. "Where do you want to go?"

Xiangxiang raised her paw and pointed in one direction without hesitation; there was a dried fish shop there that was her favorite.

After pointing in the direction, it felt that this was a bit inconvenient, and its gaze fell on Tang Qi's head.

With a slight push from its hind legs, it landed lightly on its chosen target location.

Tang Qi felt a sudden heaviness in her head. "I hadn't noticed before. Xiangxiang, you've been helping out a lot lately, so how come you've gotten heavier?"

"Meow!" No way!

Feeling the touch on her head, she raised her hand and pinched Xiangxiang's little paw, saying, "Okay, okay, if it hasn't changed, it hasn't changed."

Anyway, I've been busy with a lot of work since then, so let's just focus on the important stuff; it'll be used up quickly.

Following Xiangxiang's directions, Tang Qi wandered around the streets and alleys of Wuhun City all day, occasionally leaving behind some Gem Orchids and then using white mist as cover.

Xiangxiang ate quite a lot throughout the day, and even in the evening she was still carrying several snacks in her hand.

After washing up and lying in bed, Tang Qi finally had time to check on the Gem Orchid's condition.

She closed her eyes and quickly checked the condition of the Gem Orchid.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked behind the Spirit Hall.

Old Xu?

She didn't rush to do anything with the Gem Orchid, but instead ran quickly to Tang San's door and banged on it loudly, "Brother, come out quickly! It's urgent!"

Hearing the urgent commotion, Tang San casually threw on a robe, frowned slightly, and quickened his pace to open the door. "What happened?"

"Old Xu is in a gambling den in the back. My Gem Orchid spotted him, but he just stood there without moving."

She quickly told Tang San what had happened, then quieted down and waited for his reply.

Upon hearing this, Tang San frowned and looked in the direction Tang Qi was pointing, "Wait for him to make a move and then follow him, try your best to follow him."

Regardless of Lao Xu's purpose in showing up, finding the right person is the first priority.

He dislikes situations that are too unknown.

However, after waiting for a while, Tang Qi did not notice any extra movements from Lao Xu, and her heart sank.

Tang San patted her head. "I'll go take a look."

Tang Qi quickly grabbed his sleeve and stuffed Xiangxiang into his arms, saying, "Be careful."

Tang San nodded and disappeared in a flash.

The orchid-colored gemstone wrapped around his wrist flashed with light and then became a signpost.

When Tang San put on the cloak, Gemstone Orchid fell completely silent.

Upon entering the gambling den, he found it to be a chaotic mix of people. Tang San's aura blended in seamlessly the moment he stepped inside, and he didn't attract anyone's attention.

He didn't immediately look for Lao Xu, but instead wandered around inside casually.

Seemingly having found a game that interested him, he plunged in and mingled among the bettors.

As he inadvertently changed position, he came into view of Lao Xu.

There's no need to look for him deliberately; Old Xu's presence is too conspicuous in this casino. Once you're inside, you can spot him with just a casual glance.
