Chapter 256 (2/2)

“You’re… Boss?”

“Yes!”

Kuwako Kitamiya’s tone immediately turned more respectful as she asked, “Do you have any command for me, Boss?”

“Have you returned to Japan?” asked Tang Xiu.

Kuwako Kitamiya shook her head and said, “Not yet, Boss. Their injuries are serious. We are still somewhere in Star City. We’re preparing to go back in two days.”

“Are there any female ninjas in your Northstar One Blade School? Ones that are loyal to you?” asked Tang Xiu.

Kuwako Kitamiya replied confidently, “I have four attendants who have accepted severe training from Northstar One Blade School. But I didn’t bring them along with me this time. Also, I’ll use the Soul Ruling Spell on them when I go back, to make them more loyal.”

“Do they speak Mandarin?” asked Tang Xiu.

“Yes! They are fluent in Japanese, Mandarin, English, French, and German,” said Kuwako Kitamiya respectfully.

Tang Xiu said, “In that case, after you use the Soul Ruling Spell, send two of them to Star City to protect my mother secretly. I’ll send my mother’s information to you later.”

“Understood!” Kuwako Kitamiya said respectfully.

Tang Xiu hung up the phone. He edited the information about his mother and then sent it to Kuwako. After that, he got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed his face as he went to the hall on the first floor.

A faint scent of food came from the dining room.

“You woke up? It’s lunchtime.”

Kang Xia carried tow dishes from the kitchen and showed a sweet smile when she saw Tang Xiu.

Looking at her, Tang Xiu realized that Kang Xia was walking in an awkward manner. He suddenly understood the reason, yet, he had no choice but lament about the mysteriousness of the creatures called humans. Kang Xia was so tired she could barely move a finger and had no strength before this, yet she was so energetic now. Looking at her bright and spirited appearance, she seemed more beautiful and breathtaking.

_‘Yuan Chuling was right! There are only dead-tired cows on Earth, and no land has ever gone bad after being plowed.’_

Tang Xiu secretly sighed as he walked to the dining room, smiling.

“Master!”

Gu Yin had sat at the dining table and looked full of joy as she saw Tang Xiu’s arrival.

Tang Xiu stroked her small head and said with a smile, “Let’s eat! Also, a few days later, I’ll take you along with me to Jingmen Island.”

“Hmm!”

Gu Yin didn’t care about where they would go, she only cared about being together with Tang Xiu.

Jingmen Island?

Kang Xia, who was just put the dishes on the table, suddenly had a change in expression upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words. The both of them had just an intimate event, so she became especially concerned about Tang Xiu. If Tang Xiu was to go somewhere, she might not care about it. But she was a bit worried if he went to Jingmen Island.

It was because Ouyang Lulu lived there, and she was on Jingmen Island now!

Kang Xia tried hard to make her expression look normal as she asked, “Boss, what are you taking Yinyin to Jingmen Island for? Is it to play or there’s something else?”

Clueless about her thoughts, Tang Xiu replied, “I’m gonna take her to see her Senior Sister as well as take her on a trip abroad along the way. I had bought an island in the Pacific Ocean before, of which I hadn’t seen it yet. So I’m going there before college starts. Ah, right. I don’t have a passport either. Can you help me handling the passport applications for me and Yinyin?”

Kang Xia secretly relaxed. Yet, she was secretly astonished when she heard that Tang Xiu also had another apprentice that turned out to be a woman. Then, she said, “Boss, you need to apply for a passport by yourself, and it also takes a bit of time to get it. But if you find Long Zhengyu, he should be able to get it.”

Tang Xiu nodded, “Then I’ll ask his help. Come sit down and let’s eat! We gotta take care of our bodies.”

Take care of the body?

Suddenly, Kang Xia recalled what happened between the two of them. A charming, shy expression was instantly revealed on her face as she lowered her head and sat down in front of the table.

Gu Yin raised up her small face and asked, “Master, is Senior Sister’s temper good? Would she take a liking to Yinyin?”

Tang Xiu smiled, “Your Senior Sister is injured and in a coma. Her temper is very good, however. Besides, you look like her when she was small. I think she’ll certainly like you.”

“Hmm!” Gu Yin nodded cutely.

Kang Xia then asked with a confused expression, “How many apprentices do you have exactly, Boss?”

“There are four presently!” replied Tang Xiu with a smile.

Kang Xia continued, “I only know Chen Zhizhong and Gu Yin, and the one who’s working in the hospital. Who’s the other one? Why haven’t I heard it from you before?”

Tang Xiu answered with a pale smile, “Some things are kinda inconvenient to say. Wait until later, then you’ll know about her.”
