Nightfall. Tang Ming looked down at his son, Zhong Yang, and smiled. "There's no need to be like this. I'm not a strict person. I won't argue with a little kid like New Year's Day."

"..." "Yes." Zhong Yang looked at Tang Ming and lowered his head.

A small voice entered Tang Ming's ears. If he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't have heard it.

"Come out, New Year's Day. I know you're back." Tang Ming didn't even try to find the person he was looking for. In fact, in terms of concealing his abilities, Tang Ming might never be able to compare to the two of them in his entire life.

"..." Young Master. " A thirteen year old youth came out from a corner and looked at Tang Ming with a slightly guilty expression.

"Did you have a good time today?" Tang Ming acted as if he did not see the guilty look on New Year's Day's face as he asked his younger brother the same question.

"I'm sorry young master, I was wrong, I won't run around anymore." Tang Ming hadn't even said anything before New Year's Day came to an end. He quickly came out and admitted his mistake. He raised his head carefully as he said, "You …" Can you not punish Zhong Yang? If you want to punish him, then punish me. "

"Who said I was punishing someone?" Tang Ming slightly raised his eyebrows. He knew how strict the training of the Cloud Sky Sect's Zhong Yang and New Year's were, so it was normal for them to punish someone. However, Tang Ming was puzzled as to why the disciples of the sect had made a mistake on the first day of the new year and were punished on the first day of the new year.

"I am the youngest in this group. If it weren't for my innate talent and the fact that Zhong Yang said that he wanted to be with me, the First Year and the Fifteenth Young Master wouldn't have bought me from someone else. Perhaps it's because he's a slave that was bought back with me and takes care of me very well … In the past, when I made a mistake, Zhong Yang would have taken on double the punishment for me."

Tang Ming wasn't too surprised about the origins of Zhong Yang and New Year's Day. In fact, even a poor farmer like him wouldn't be pulled out by the Cloud Sky Sect to be trained as a dark guard.

It had to be known that back then, when Chu Junran had handed over Zhong Yang and New Year's Day to Tang Ming, he had already hinted to Tang Ming that if the two of them hadn't come to the Cloud Sky Sect, their fates would have been even more miserable.

In addition, there were slave tattoos on the faces of Chongqing and New Year's Day, and there were slave tattoos on the faces of the first and fifteenth days as well, probably to take care of them. These tattoos were the smallest of the peach tattoos, and as far as Tang Ming knew, there was a kind of mark that was half the size of a face, and was imprinted with hot iron and copper.

"Why didn't you take the tattoo?" Tang Ming looked at the peach blossom mark between his eyebrows and knocked on the table.

There were many ways to remove tattoos in the martial arts world, but whether it was the 1st or 15th Year, New Year's Day, or Chong Yang, they were all kept in the martial arts world.

New Year's Day stared blankly. He gave Tang Ming a smile that revealed his cute little canine teeth: "Will tattoos change the fact that we're slaves?"

Tang Ming: "…"

"Young master, actually, Zhong Yang and I missed the Cloud Sky Sect very much. If it weren't for the Cloud Sky Sect, who knows what kind of people would have sold us to, and among the people that were imprisoned with us, many of them would have been sold by their masters. They were in a terrible situation, so I thought back then, I hope my luck was good, and that I could be sold to a pretty good master." "However, I didn't expect New Year's Day to be so lucky."

Tang Ming didn't know why, but he felt his heart ache. He sighed and said, "Enough, don't put on airs in front of me. I am truly undisciplined."

New Year's Day stuck out his tongue. "Young Master is the best."

"A clever one." Tang Ming laughed and scolded, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, can you still use the Heavenly Cloud Sect's channels?"

"Lord Junior One and the Fifteen Elders didn't take back our tokens. They should be able to be used." Zhong Yang was the first to answer, and New Year nodded beside him.

Tang Ming was not the least bit surprised.

However, he felt warm in his heart.

The fact that Tang Ming hadn't taken back his Heavy Yang and New Year's medallions meant that he could still use Cloud Sky Sect's influence. No matter what he wanted to know, or what he wanted Cloud Sky Sect to do for him, Tang Ming's current authority was the same as being the senior in the Cloud Sky Sect.

The so-called expulsion of the sect disciples did not cause Tang Ming much loss other than losing his title as the Senior Brother of the Heavenly Cloud Sect.

"Young Master, are you asking us to investigate something?" New Year's Day popped out from under his arm. Looking at the small movements of the young man, Zhong Yang said in a low voice, "Stop messing around."

"Mm, can the Cloud Sky Sect find out anything about the imperial government?" Tang Ming paused for a moment. "I'm referring to the internal news, not the information that everyone knows."

"Of course I can. Although I'm not as meticulous as the Pure Wind House, I can definitely find out more or less." Tang Ming looked at Zhong Yang for a moment before he nodded his head in silence.

"Young master, if you want to check on Young Master Li's situation in the capital, your subordinate has something already prepared." Zhong Yang suddenly opened his mouth, "When young master left the capital, I specially got someone to pay attention to you."

Tang Ming slightly raised his eyebrows before nodding his head, "It was fortunate that I was meticulous. Otherwise, I would have had to wait for a few more days to get the news."

"Young Master is too kind." Zhong Yang lowered his head silently. Without Tang Ming's words, he had no intention of opening his mouth.

Compared to the carefree look on New Year's Day, Chongqing undoubtedly suited the image of a dark guard more. But Tang Ming didn't know why, but he liked the unconventional New Year's Day more.

Probably. It's the first day of the new year.

"When will it be delivered to me?" Tang Ming slowly spoke.

"I can deliver it to Young Master tonight at the latest." Zhong Yang said with a serious expression.

"Is that so?" Tang Ming no longer bothered with this question: "Don't always hide it, just follow behind me."

Zhong Yang raised his head in shock, and then without any retorts, he replied, "Yes, young master."

"Tonight, all of you will have to put in a bit of effort. After all, I have to leave tomorrow. I can't possibly let Sect Leader Xie arrange a room for all of you. It would be quite troublesome." Tang Ming rubbed the sheath on his waist. This was the sign that he was thinking.

"This subordinate understands." Zhong Yang did not have any objections. Although he was similar to Luo Ling, he did not have Luo Ling's willfulness. Instead, he respectfully bowed and said: "By order of the Young Noble."

"Alright, go down and eat the candied fruits inside your sleeves. They're all exposed." Tang Ming smiled as he looked at the collar of the New Year's Day. Due to their identity, the clothes of the New Year and Zhong Yang were a bit more important than that of ordinary people.

New Year's Day quickly covered his chest and gave an embarrassed smile.
