Chapter 1669 — What Martial Technique

You Zhentian suddenly recalled that matter which had circulated among the hidden families. Although the Ice Palace had issued a gag order, the younger members of these hidden families had more or less experienced it firsthand. They might keep it from outsiders, but they would never keep it from their own family heads, so the matter had still spread!
"That's right—I heard he was crippled by a loose cultivator surnamed Ling!" You Panhu immediately added. "This Wei Zhao is definitely not a member of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect. What kind of existence is the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect? How could they send a core member to offer birthday congratulations? They have no connection to the hidden Tang family at all!"
"That makes sense. The hidden Tang family has never had any ties with the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, so they certainly would not send their people to offer congratulations." You Xiaoxin knew more, and she was thoroughly familiar with the hidden Tang family's network of connections.
"Then there's no problem!" You Zhentian breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as we haven't offended the core members of those ancient sects, it doesn't matter. Besides, we're the ones who suffered this time, so this business shouldn't be anything serious! And the Profound Elixir Sect's envoy is coming soon. When that envoy backs us up, even the Ice Palace Master will have to show the Profound Elixir Sect some respect!"
This villa occupied the finest position in the entire development. The hidden Tang family had pulled strings to secure it—the developer had been reluctant to sell, but since the hidden Tang family wanted it, there was nothing they could do but hand it over. Otherwise, the developer would have kept this villa for himself to live in.
And when Tang's mother went to return the property, it suited the owner perfectly. He returned it without a word, and even waived the handling fee! After all, the owner also feared the hidden Tang family's power—how would he dare charge a handling fee when they wanted to return the property?
Only, he did not know Tang's mother. When she returned the property, he still called Tang Lingtou of the hidden Tang family and told him about the matter.
When Tang Lingtou heard that Tang's mother had gone early in the morning to return the property and cash out, he nearly rolled his eyes in fury. Still, he maintained his composure, said only "Understood," and hurried off to report to Old Master Tang!
Unhappy as he was, he did not dare stop Tang's mother from returning the property. He could only seek Old Master Tang's counsel.
And when Old Master Tang heard of the matter, his brows twitched, but he waved his hand calmly and said, "Let it be. If she returns it, so be it. The money didn't go to outsiders—it went to the Ice Palace Master's own mother. The Ice Palace Master may not think much of it, but we have done our part in the way of favors. If anything truly comes up in the future, so long as it doesn't harm the Ice Palace's interests, they will surely lend us a hand."
"That's all we can do..." Tang Lingtou nodded helplessly, thinking to himself, the Ice Palace Master's mother is far too greedy for money, isn't she?
"Is there anything else? Isn't today the day of the birthday banquet? I heard the Profound Elixir Sect also sent an envoy to offer congratulations. Aren't you going to make preparations?" Old Master Tang asked mildly.
This eightieth birthday was the most glorious birthday of Old Master Tang's life. Not only was the Ice Palace Master here, but the Profound Elixir Sect had actually sent an envoy to offer congratulations as well.
