The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 18 CHAPTER 17 : Wang Family's Invitation

Currently, the 2nd prince and the 7th prince were dining and drinking inside a tavern. The tavern was at the easternmost region of Canon city. They usually came here to eat and discuss important matters between them.

" Second brother, do you know where that trash is sent to? " The haughty seventh prince inquired.

"Naturally, he is sent to the northern fort. " The second prince spoke elegantly while eating a chicken leg.

"Hahaha. That fool might be scared out of his wit. " The seven prince laughed out loud with a disdainful sneer on his face.

" Eat idiot! Why are you so happy about that? "

" Brother, are we really going to leave him like that? " The seven prince asked and drank up his wine.

" I have my spies in the northern fort. But, we can't do anything to him there. The northern fort is completely under the control of that demoness. " The second prince said.

Hearing the word ' Demoness', the seventh prince shivered all over his body, suddenly dropped the chicken leg on the dining table, and collapsed. His face became pale white.

" Demon-ess !" He stuttered.

" Hong'er, you must forget about that incident. I know that you are scared of her but you must go through that trauma. We are not kids anymore. " The second prince lightly hit on his back. Then the seventh prince got well again.

Actually, when he was five, the seven prince Tang Hong always bullied Joey's predecessor whenever he got the chance. Tang Meng lien warned him multiple times to stop hitting his own sibling. But, he still continued bullying him. One day he even went worse and broke Joey's predecessor's right hand.

From the next day onward, she started bullying him back. He experienced much physical and mental torture from her after that day onward. Afterward, The second prince became aware of his brother's condition. Then he went for his mother and together they complained about how Meng lien torture Tang Hong every day to their father, Tang Zimo.

Contrary to their thought of punishing Meng lien, Zimo said coldly to them," I can't do anything to that demoness. Why do you even go so far as to even provoke her? It is his fault. So let her beat him for a month or two, then she will eventually become bored and leave this matter on her own. "

" But Tong'er is still a child. It will leave a big trauma in his future ." Chu Hua.

" Leave! It is his fault ." He scolded and sent them away.

After they left his room, he murmured softly," Even I always try to avoid provoking her. Leaving a trauma in his future. So what! I have already developed a trauma whenever she starts acting up. Let's forget it. Her matters never come to my favor anyway. "

Unfortunately, the tortures went on for the next two months. Nobody could do anything to her. From that day onward, her nickname became the infamous ' Demoness '. After going through all that, Tang Tong panicked whenever he heard the word ' demoness'.

The second prince and the seventh prince couldn't do anything to her but they began to hate Joey's predecessor more and more. They even went so far as to actually kill him later on.

" Brother, I don't know how to do that. Even when I hear someone who sounds like her, I start panicking for no reason. " The seventh prince enquired sadly.

" No worry, no worry. Time will cure everything. " The second prince said, trying to calm him down.

" Brother, will father find out about our involvement in that matter? " The seventh prince calmed down completely and asked anxiously.

" The investigation has started on that matter and handed the jurisdiction directly to the prime minister Li Lin. " The second prince said and he continued.

" He is a smart man. He may have already known about our and four families' involvement in that assassination attempt. But he doesn't have any concrete evidence to convict us. So he stayed silent instead. "

"Father is always the clever one. He too might have known about it already. Funny thing is that we will be fine but they will start observing all our movements from now onward. " He explained.

" Oh! I almost forgot it. Have a look. Yesterday, Elder Wang Donghai gave it to me for you. " Tong took out a letter from his space ring and gave it to him.

The second prince read the envelope and kept it inside his space ring.

" What do they want? "

" Nothing. They are inviting us for dinner tomorrow. " The second prince told him.

" Tong, I will go into closed cultivation soon. It may take a month or longer. So, stop causing any more trouble," He added seriously

Inside the room of the tallest tower of the northern fort, two women were sitting on the sofa. They were naturally Tang Meng lien and her advisor Zhang Cong.

" Why are they still not here yet? Have they encountered any problems on their way? " Meng lien murmured softly. She became more anxious with every minute that passed and looked at the southern horizon.

" Sister Meng lien, calm down. Nothing will happen to him. Even if they encounter any expert on their way, nothing will happen. The infamous 'hawk eye' is with him ." Cong'er said.

" Yes. With him there, nothing will happen to my brother ."

" Sister Meng lien, why don't we wait while drinking? It will calm you down ." Cong'er suggested.

" Let us do that ." Meng lien brought two bottles of white wine and ordered a guard to bring them meat.

After sometime later, they began their little drinking session.

Suddenly, Meng lien looked toward the southern horizon and exclaimed," They are coming. Cong'er, have you prepared everything that I said to you ?"

" Yes," She said while nodding her head.

They could see a black dot approaching the fort. Afterward, it became a big black eagle beast and landed on the ground beside the castle in the middle of the fort. Joey and the team jumped down the ground while they were greeted by flower petals from the sky and the crowd spoke out loud at the same time, "We welcome the 5th prince !"

Joey was amazed at the scene, stood dumbly for a while, and waved his hand to the crowd with a wide smile.

Meng lien and her advisor also jumped down to the ground from the tower.

" Xiao di here. Come to your sister's side. " Meng lien waved at Joey.

Joey came before her and smiled at her, " Zi Zi. How are you? "

Meng lien touched his face and started pinching on his cheeks with both her hands.

She always enjoyed doing that to him when she met him in the palace back then.

" Zi Zi, stop doing that. You are embarrassing me. I am not a little kid anymore ." He retorted while pretending to be angry.

" Hee hee hee, so cute! What do you think Cong'er? " She giggled and looked at Zhang Cong.
