CHAPTER 1346: CHAPTER 1345: THE ENGAGEMENT DAY

Tang Ming felt a headache when he thought of Liu Mengting asking him to pretend to be her fiancé to deal with the real fiancé.

Whether real or fake, it’s still him. Now he cannot refuse.

"Alright, alright, I’m waiting for you at the Jun Tianhao Hotel. Most of the guests have arrived, so hurry up."

Liu Gaoze advised him and then hung up the phone.

"Oh heavens, just kill me."

Tang Ming put down the phone and moaned with frustration, "Could it be that Liu Mengting and Liu Gaoze conspired together, insisting on getting engaged with me, creating such a scene?"

Although he was suspicious, he knew that this was definitely not a conspiracy between the Liu family father and daughter, but rather a situation that developed from happenstance.

Thinking about his current actions, which run contrary to his original purpose of coming to Songlan City, Tang Ming felt a sense of blockage in his heart.

Especially when he thought of Xia Wei’er’s appearance, he felt a sense of guilt for getting engaged to Liu Mengting. How frustrating!

After a long time of deliberation without clearing his head, Tang Ming reluctantly dialed Tang Cha’s number.

"Hey kid, what’s wrong with you again?"

Tang Cha answered the phone and complained irritably, "Your cultivation has recovered, your strength reached Nine-star, what more do you want?"

"Master, I accept my fate."

Tang Ming wailed resignedly, "I’m not breaking off my engagement with Liu Mengting now, but can you tell me about my origins? What on earth does the Falling Star Moon mean, and what does the pentagram beneath my feet signify?"

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word."

Tang Cha’s voice filled with speechlessness, "Anyway, your marriage with Liu Mengting is set in stone; don’t even think about breaking it. Regarding your origins, if you have the capability, investigate for yourself; if not, don’t expect any answers from me."

"You... Then at least tell me why I must be with Liu Mengting?"

Tang Ming questioned speechlessly.

"It’s natural for men and women to come together. What’s there to question?"

Tang Cha chuckled indifferently, "If you ask why I favor Liu Mengting, then I’ll tell you; it’s because I have my eyes on the Liu family’s money. Hurry up and get me some cash. I need to settle the debts I owe at the village shop."

"Rubbish, I already know the person’s name on the marriage certificate is connected to my parents and Liu Mengting’s mother; can’t you tell me something truthful?"

Tang Ming protested gloomily.

"Since you know, then investigate. This is an obvious clue; why ask me?"

Tang Cha’s tone grew serious, "I warn you, whatever issues you encounter while investigating your origins, don’t drag me into it, or I’ll die for sure."

"Sir, your strength is immense, what are you afraid of?"

Tang Ming protested irritably. Although he didn’t know exactly how powerful Tang Cha was, the fact that the mentor could train such a formidable disciple like him indicated his cultivation was extraordinarily terrifying.

"Kid, there are always skies beyond skies and people beyond people. If the old man wasn’t fearing death, he wouldn’t have hidden in this remote mountain for years, only thinking about the village widow’s old behind."

Tang Cha snorted coldly, "If it weren’t for these unavoidable circumstances, I would have long descended to pursue young beauties."

"What exactly are you avoiding?"

Tang Ming’s expression grew solemn.

"Investigate yourself. When the day comes that your origins are fully revealed, that’ll be the end of our relationship. I don’t directly tell you the truth because I don’t want that day to arrive early."

Tang Cha yawned, speaking sadly, "I’m still hoping you’ll take care of me in old age. If you never uncover the mystery of your origins, then I’ll wait for you to see me off."

"What if I do find out?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brow tightly, sensing a hidden meaning in Tang Cha’s words but not knowing exactly what he was referring to.

"Haha, if you find out, you’ll have to see me off even more."

Tang Cha laughed heartily and changed the topic, "How is your cultivation now?"

"It’s decent, fulfilling, at a Four-star Martial Master level."

Tang Ming responded truthfully.

"Interesting."

Tang Cha laughed and reminded, "You can cultivate the normal Dust Gu’s power when you have no other tasks. Since you can’t break through the other aspect anyway, make sure you work hard."

"Come on, now I’m definitely focusing on cultivating the Mutated Dust Gu, aiming to break through to the Martial General status early, only then can I sweep across the world."

Tang Ming nonchalantly shrugged.

"A rotten wood cannot be carved."

Tang Cha sighed and didn’t say much more.

"Right, I called to tell you I’m getting engaged to Liu Mengting, do you have anything to say?"

Tang Ming finally remembered the main matter.

"Getting engaged is good; once the ceremony is done, your affair will be settled."

Tang Cha became excited, "When can you invite me to Songlan City to enjoy life? I heard Liu Mengting has a busty friend; since you’re going with Liu Mengting, how about introducing that busty young lady to me?"

"You, you old rascal."

Hearing this, Tang Ming almost fainted. This old guy was even thinking about Li Xiaoli, which was just too unreasonable.

"Suffering for women, exhausting for women, shedding tears for women, I’m still young; what’s wrong with courting a chick? If you get her too, I won’t think about it."

Tang Cha responded with justified confidence.

"Forget it; dream on yourself, I have to get ready for the ceremony."

Seeing Tang Cha increasingly veer off-topic, Tang Ming quickly hung up the phone to avoid hearing any shocking words from the old guy.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming got up helplessly. The engagement ceremony would be held at ten, whether reluctant or not, he had to face it.

In a hotel suite at Jun Tianhao Hotel, Liu Mengting sat on the bed wearing a white gauzy gown, looking at her phone with a frown: "Xiaoli, have you contacted that bastard yet?"

"Calm down, calm down, I already sent Tang Ming a message, he is sure to come, hey."

Li Xiaoli, dressed in a pink princess dress, awkwardly continued dialing repeatedly, but unfortunately, Tang Ming simply wouldn’t answer.

"Oh, dear, Meng Meng looks really pretty today, even Xiaoli is glowing with beauty!"

At this moment, Chen Cang, dressed in gender-neutral clothing, walked into the room, exaggeratingly announced with raised orchid fingers.

"Little Cang Cang, how did you get in?"

Liu Mengting looked at Chen Cang with surprise. Liu Gaoze had already ordered that no man should approach this room.

"As your good friend, of course, I must come to send Meng Meng off. As for those smelly men, they certainly cannot be let in."

Chen Cang explained confidently.

In reality, it was Chen Cang who wanted to see Liu Mengting; hardly anyone dared to stop him.
