Chapter 70: The Painted Beast Takes the Place of His Father, and the Feast Seduces Guests [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Because of Tang Hao's abnormality, Luo Kedi became perfunctory in his response.

When the Tan family members saw this, they looked at each other and gradually fell silent.

He led the three people all the way to the guest room, and the servant served them breakfast.

Tan Linchuan smiled and bowed, saying, "You three must be tired from the journey. You can rest after breakfast. I will prepare some wine and food for you three Taoist friends at noon to welcome you."

After the Tan family left, Tang Hao and the others set up a formation to block spiritual detection, and then sat down without any intention of touching the food.

Luo Kedi endured it all the way, and immediately asked again: "Junior brother, what happened? Is there something wrong?"

With a thoughtful look on his face, Jiang Shenyin quickly went over the scene after his arrival in his mind, but he didn't find anything. He couldn't help but look at Tang Hao for advice.

"There's something wrong." Tang Hao nodded and said, "Tan Linchuan's Yuan Yang is extremely strong, but his four daughters' Yuan Yin is...severely depleted."

At the same time, he also told the two that the other party had concealed this situation with secret techniques.

Upon hearing this, Luo Kedi couldn't help but look at him in surprise and asked, "Junior brother, how did you know that? Did you use some rare treasure?"

Such private matters, let alone being concealed, even if they were displayed openly, cultivators of similar realms would need to use their spiritual consciousness and magic power to enter the body in order to find out the truth.

In his opinion, Tang Hao's move was really unbelievable.

"Fuck, aren't they father and daughter?" Jiang Shenyin paused playing with the short-handled golden hammer and suddenly became interested.

Tang Hao looked at Lao Jiang speechlessly. He also knew that this was against moral principles and it was indeed eye-catching.

"I originally thought this Tan was a Master, but the identity information shows that the faction he belongs to is normal. It's really strange. Is he really just a beast in human skin?"

It was not until the middle of the night that he heard Cao Lezhi and Jiang Shenyin mention the matter of the master. Therefore, when he discovered this suspicious point, he immediately thought about this aspect.

Tang Hao once again retrieved the identity information he had previously discovered to confirm that he was not mistaken. He frowned, a little confused.

His eyes wandered through the identity information and suddenly stopped at the age column.

Ok?
and many more!

Twenty years old?
He was shocked. Among the four daughters, the eldest daughter was clearly over 20 years old...

After discovering the highlight, Tang Hao immediately felt relieved. The unknown is the most terrifying.

If he was just a beastly father, he would probably be caught in internal friction in exploring his identity during the entire mission.

Noticing the change in his expression, Jiang Shenyin's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Junior Brother Tang, have you figured something out?"

Luo Kedi also said: "Hurry up and tell me."

This made Tang Hao a little troubled. If he had discovered this before, he could have used secret techniques or treasures to detect and find out that the other party had a problem with his bone age.

Now I have to force myself to think about it. I secretly warn myself that I must carefully check each item in the future while pretending to think and recall.

He said quietly, "I've just been thinking carefully again. This Tan family head must have been replaced by someone else."

"【Painted Skin Technique】?" Jiang Shenyin's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "If it's true as Junior Brother Tang said, then this Tan Linchuan must be the Master."

He explained, "This is a strange spell used by the Master and the Joy Master to conceal their identities. Some high-ranking members of the faction are indeed members of the Joy Faction, but there are also some who have been replaced."

Tang Hao was thinking elsewhere: "This [Painted Skin Technique] shouldn't be able to inherit identities, after all, identity detection is based on the other party's cognition, so it is likely that this beast has also used similar psychological suggestion methods on himself."

When imitating others in this way, they will probably just hint at their name, what faction they belong to, etc.

It's just age, maybe it's just in the other person's blind spot, or maybe the replacement is recent and the other person hasn't encountered anything like a birthday yet, so he neglected it?
Luo Kedi rubbed his chin and said, "I don't know what this person's purpose is. Did he choose this place as a place to practice in seclusion, or is he trying to steal the [Shocking Spirit Grass]?"

If it was the former, they could simply hand over the mission, return to Dongliu Immortal City, and then report it. If it was the latter, this trip would probably be quite complicated. The three of them discussed it for a while, learned about their respective cards and treasures, and decided on several contingency plans.

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If only they had left a communication jade talisman with Cao Lezhi earlier.

With a powerful enemy at their doorstep, they did not separate after breakfast but stayed in a room to meditate and regulate their breathing, preparing for a welcoming banquet that might be the Hongmen Banquet.

The morning passed in a flash. Tang Hao was awakened by a knock on the door. He looked at Luo Kedi and the other man and walked out.

The one who came to call them was a daughter of the head of the Tan family.

"Qitong greets the three senior brothers. Daddy and the others are already waiting in the dining hall. Please follow me." Tan Qitong greeted them with a charming smile.

Tang Hao was wondering in his heart whether the other person had already become haggard under her beautiful appearance.

Walking through the manor and passing through the corridors where lanterns were swaying in the wind and snow, the four of them came to a hall with gorgeous decorations.

Tan Linchuan and others welcomed them in with smiles on their faces at the entrance hall.

The carved silver candlesticks made the hall look magnificent, but Tan Linchuan's smile never reached his eyes.

The laughter of the four daughters was as clear as a bell, but it caused a strange echo in the empty hall.

After some pleasantries, the host and the guests took their seats.

The seating arrangement made by the other party was very interesting, as it placed Tang Hao and the other two right between the seats of the four women.

"Are you resorting to trickery now?" Tang Hao was secretly on guard, and Cao Lezhi's words of warning flashed through his mind.

"...those who are hot-blooded and full of energy are easily caught..."

"Your arrival makes our humble home proud. I would like to offer a toast to you all." As soon as they sat down, Tan Linchuan raised his glass to toast.

"Thank you, Patriarch Tan, for your hospitality."

Tang Hao thanked him and poured the wine into his mouth without any change of expression. Well, no reminder message popped up, but he was still cautious and secretly activated the power of the water and fire lotus to burn the wine.

Luo Ke Di and Jiang Shen Yin also used their own methods.

Anyway, they had made up their minds that no matter how delicious the delicacies and nectars on the table were, they would never let them enter their stomachs.

After three rounds of drinks, Luo Kedi hurriedly asked about the business: "Master Tan, when will we pick the [Shocking Spirit Grass]? We have important matters to attend to and cannot stay here for long."

"[Shocking Spirit Grass] needs to be picked on a clear night when the moon is at its highest point in the sky to maintain its medicinal properties." Tan Linchuan put down his chopsticks and said, "I see the wind and snow are easing today, so we can probably start tomorrow night."

Tang Hao and the other two looked at each other, knowing that what the other party said was true, so they had no choice but to agree and clinked glasses with them at the table.

During this time, the four women would pick up food for them from time to time, and would lean on them while talking. The friction of their clothes made a rustling sound, and the alluring fragrance rushed into their nostrils. It was truly an act of temptation.

The three of them were all hot-blooded young men, so their faces were red and their mouths were dry, but they could only force themselves to bear it and endure it.

The banquet finally ended and everyone stood up chatting and laughing.

Tang Hao had already acted as if he was drunk, and now he stood up staggeringly.

In his heart, he was thinking: "How can I get this guy's body fluids or breath? It's difficult. He is wearing Tan Linchuan's skin. Even if I pull his hair and scrape off his skin, I will get something from a dead person."

Thinking of this, his "dazed" eyes darted around.

Suddenly it fell on the wine glass and chopsticks used by the other person.
