Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 13 Tang Tianhao

The Tang family, located in the center of Zhushan County, is a huge manor that is very luxurious, with a large number of slaves, and the lights are as bright as day at night.

In the garden, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, all with beams made of rare golden nanmu wood. The glazed tiles are dazzling and colorful under the lights. The winding paths are paved with round pebbles, and exotic flowers and plants on both sides are competing for beauty. They are all introduced from foreign countries, and each one is worth a lot of money.

Following Tang Buyi into the manor, even Gu Chudong, who had been in the martial arts world for ten years and was considered knowledgeable, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Tang Buyi, your family is so rich!"

"It's just average," Tang Buyi said. "Don't be fooled by the fact that our manor is luxurious. My father built it with great difficulty, and he's still in debt."

"Ah, why?" Gu Chudong asked in confusion.

Tang Buyi shook his head and said, "Our Tang family is in business, and this manor is our Tang family's facade, specially built to show our strength. Think about it, if you are the head of a sect and need to order a large number of weapons, but the deposit is several thousand taels, wouldn't you want to find a trustworthy merchant?

If you came to our Tang family, and we were poor and shabby, would you worry that we would run away with the money? But on the other hand, if you came here with thousands of taels of silver and saw this valuable manor, would you still worry that our Tang family would run away with the money? You would definitely think that this manor alone is worth tens of thousands of taels, so why would we run away for a few thousand taels?

Gu Chudong suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is. I never thought there are so many tricks to doing business!"

Tang Buyi laughed and said, "There are many ways to do that. My father has always forced me to learn business, which is why my martial arts skills are so average. If I could devote myself to martial arts, my martial arts skills would definitely be very advanced!"

Gu Chudong said seriously, "So, you're good at business, right? Has a lot of the Tang family's business been handed over to you now? Can you tell me how you do business? I also want to save some money to start a business in the future. Can you teach me?"

"Uh……"

Tang Buyi looked embarrassed. He had no business sense and only said that to save face. If he was asked to talk about business, he would not be able to do it. So he changed the subject and said, "Well, let's not talk about this for now. Captain Qu, Brother Gu, Sister Chudong, and all the brothers in the escort agency, I have asked someone to arrange a banquet for you. You should go eat something and rest up first. I will go to pay my respects to my father and come back to you later!"

Qu Heng said, "Mr. Tang, please go ahead and do your work. You don't need to call us."

Gu Mo cupped his hands and said, "Brother Tang, please do as you please."

Gu Chudong said: "Then remember to teach me how to do business later!"

Tang Buyi: "..."

……

When Gu Mo and his group went to eat,
Tang Buyi came to a study room and lingered at the door for a long time before he straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, pushed the door open, bowed and shouted, "Dad, I'm back."

Tang Tianhao, the head of the Tang family, was a middle-aged man in his late fifties. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with an air of dignity that came from years of high office. He was sitting in a chair flipping through the account book. He glanced up at Tang Buyi and said in a deep voice, "Are you hurt?"

"Yes."

Tang Buyi was particularly docile in front of Tang Tianhao. He was no longer as talkative as he was outside and became very frugal with his words.

"How did you get injured?" Tang Tianhao asked.

Then, Tang Buyi recounted his encounter with Tie Luohan and Master Kuxin outside Zhushan County.

As he listened, Tang Tianhao's face grew serious. He put down the account book in his hand and asked, "Are you sure it's Tie Luohan and Kuxin Nun?" "Not sure," Tang Buyi replied, "I haven't seen them, but Escort Leader Qu Heng wouldn't be mistaken. Besides, those two are highly skilled in martial arts, so there's no need for them to pretend to be two evil heretics."

"What was the name of the blind young man who saved you?"

"Gu Mo."

Tang Tianhao frowned slightly and said, "He's young, blind, and possesses unfathomable martial arts skills, yet he's completely unknown. And it's just such a coincidence that we ran into each other. Even more coincidental is that two evil masters happened to appear, and then he happened to save your life."

Tang Buyi raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Dad, you're not trying to say that Brother Gu is deliberately trying to get close to me, are you? No, Brother Gu doesn't seem like that kind of person. If you don't believe me, you can go meet him."

Tang Tianhao waved his hand and said, "No need. Since he was expelled from the Changfeng Escort Agency, I'll send someone to inquire and we'll know. I know you think he saved your life, but I doubt him and think he's disloyal. If it were any other time, I wouldn't think so much about it, but now is a special period, and I have to be careful."

Tang asked without question: "What happened?"

Tang Tianhao said in a deep voice: "Let's put Gu Mo aside for now. After all, he is your savior. Without any evidence, I don't want to doubt him.

Do you think it was such a coincidence that Tie Luohan and Kuxin Nun Tai ran into you? Are you, Tang Buyi, some kind of celebrity? How could two well-known evil masters recognize you at first sight?

Tang Buyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Dad, you mean... it's not a coincidence?"

Tang Tianhao said, "Zhushan County has been in turmoil lately, with the appearance of many evil masters. It's unclear what these people are up to, but I have a vague feeling they're up to no good. The fact that Tie Luohan and Nun Kuxin attacked you only confirms my suspicions. Someone is targeting our Tang family. As you know, the Immaculate Sword, the divine weapon we promised to forge for Grandmaster Ye of the Canglan Sword Sect, is about to be successfully crafted. I'm worried those people are after the Immaculate Sword."

Tang Buyi asked nervously, "Dad, is it a big problem?"

Tang Tianhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these things. Don't go out for the time being. Just stay in the city."

"I understand." Tang Buyi nodded.

"By the way, you can try to make friends with that Gu Mo for now," Tang Tianhao said. "Let me find out. If this person is truly innocent, then he has a promising future. He's so young yet has such impressive martial arts skills, and he saved your life. He's a good friend. But now, even though we haven't found out his identity yet, you must not neglect him. Don't let him think our Tang family doesn't know how to be grateful."

"I see."

"Ah."

Tang Tianhao waved his hand and said, "Let me see your injuries."

Tang Buyi walked over obediently.

Tang Tianhao grabbed Tang Buyi's wrist and checked it. After confirming that there was nothing serious, the worry in his eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment. He said, "I asked you to practice martial arts, but you just cheat and try to be sly every day. My Tang family's Tianxing Sword Technique and Tianxing Gong are both martial arts masterpieces. You could have mastered any of them without being so embarrassed. You can't even withstand a single move!"

Tang Buyi muttered, "You've already made so much money, why should I still work so hard to practice martial arts? I asked you to teach me how to run a business, but you won't. With so many industries under your belt, what's the point of learning martial arts? Learning business is the real thing, right?"

"You know shit," Tang Tianhao cursed. "Martial arts are the foundation of survival in this martial arts world. If you don't have it, no matter how big your business is or how much money you make, it's not yours. Harmony brings wealth, so how can you expect others to be friendly with you? How did the Tang family get to where it is today? My martial arts came first, and then my business!"
