Chapter 331 (2/2)

“It’s for his successor disciple,” Miao Wentang sighed and said, “The little guy was a smart and quick-witted kid since childhood. But more than half a year ago he went traveling in the Miao ethnic region and inadvertently offended a Gu Poison expert there. Hence, that expert poisoned him with a kind of extremely rare and extremely potent Gu Poison. Even though Dao Master Zi Yi has done everything he could, he still couldn’t get rid of the poison inside the little guy’s body. Brother Shao and I also have tried helping before, yet we couldn’t do nothing.”

“I see!” A sparkling light flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes. Since Dao Master Zi Yi and Miao Wentang couldn’t do anything about it, that meant his chance to get rid of the poison was also small. After all, many methods would need the support of cultivation base, whereas his cultivation base was rather too low at present. At present he couldn’t even compare with them.

Suddenly, his expression flickered as he recalled one thing. He immediately looked at Miao Wentang and said, “Brother Miao, I didn’t keep Dao Master Zi Yi’s contact before. I think you should be able to contact him, no? Maybe there’s someone who can get rid of the Gu Poison in his disciple’s body.”

“Who?” Miao Wentang quickly asked.

“An old friend of mine,” laughed Tang Xiu and said, “But I have to trouble you to contact Dao Master Zi Yi for this! If possible, tell him to bring his disciple to Shanghai.”

“Dao Master Zi Yi has a mobile phone, but he rarely uses it,” Miao Wentang nodded and said, “Moreover, he lives in the middle of the mountains and there’s no signal there. Hmm, I’ll send someone to contact him there and tell him to immediately bring his disciple to Shanghai.”

“Don’t forget to mention about that cauldron furnace!” said Tang Xiu.

“Don’t worry!” laughed Miao Wentang and said, “If your old friend really can heal his disciple, let alone that cauldron furnace, Dao Master Zi Yi would give you even more precious things if you wanted.”

Shortly after, Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang chatted for a while. After Miao Wentang bade his farewell and left, Ji Chimei appeared inside Tang Xiu’s mind. She was a member of the Mesmer Clan, and the very thing Mesmer clansmen excelled at was exactly this “witchcraft” heritage, as well as being experts in relieving Gu Poison. For Ji Chimei, this kind of witchcraft thingy on Earth was probably a cinch.

Today, the reason he had a private talk with Miao Wentang in order to get a furnace was because he already had the ores to refine the interspatial ring prepared. The reason he delayed was because he had no cauldron furnace.

“Boss, your next…” Chi Nan stood beside Tang Xiu and softly asked.

“I need nothing else,” said Tang Xiu and continued, “The restaurant seems to be well managed and the business looks great. Anyway, it’s not that late, so I should go back.”

“Do you need me to send you back?” Chi Nan quickly asked.

Tang Xiu hesitated before he nodded, “Then, drive me back! Although I have nothing else to do for the next few days, I still have to adjust and adapt myself to the life of a university student.”

A trace of a smile appeared on Chi Nan’s face as she said, “Boss, I don’t understand why do you want to go to university. In actuality, considering your identity, not to mention becoming a university student, you could have built your own university, and a high class one at that.”

Tang Xiu forced a smile, “I’m in fact, I’m not interested in attending university, but my mother has a wish: for me to study in the university, and I don’t want to disappoint her. However, attending university is not necessarily a bad thing either. Because, after all, more learning will bring more advantages to me.”

Chi Nan slightly smiled, “Boss, you really don’t look like a young man, but rather like a scholar.”

Tang Xiu involuntarily laughed as they continued chatting while walking. Soon, they came out of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Under Chi Nan’s guidance, the two then stopped in front of a black Lamborghini.

“Good car!” The car’s shape piqued Tang Xiu’s interest as he couldn’t help praising it.

“You can drive it at any time you like, Boss,” said Chi Nan with a tender smile, “If you don’t like it because it’s a used one, I’ll order you a new one.”

“Nah, forget it!” Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Though I quite like cars, there are already a few cars in my place. Besides, this is Shanghai, a metropolis city. Even if I do have great sports cars here, I will still have to abide by the traffic rules and speed limit regulation, no? Driving a sports car here feels like a waste.”

“Boss, you didn’t know?” Chi Nan covered her mouth as she chuckled and said, “Shanghai actually has a lot of second generation nouveau-riches who love drag racing! This place is indeed very strict in enforcing the speed limit, but there’s Changxi City, about an hour distance by driving through Laoshan Highway. It’s the heaven for drag racing enthusiasts. There are drag races happening there almost regularly. Moreover, today seems to be having a car race there. It should be very exciting.”

“Car racing in Laoshan Highway should be very dangerous, right?” Tang Xiu was surprised and asked, “The traffic authorities don’t care about it?”

“Logically speaking, car races aren’t allowed there,” laughed Chi Nan as she said, “But some people have access to the highest authorities, so the traffic authorities turns a blind eye to it. The people who can participate there are nearly all riches. Hence, even if there’s an accident, someone will take care of it.”

Tang Xiu hesitated and then asked, “Is this car race really exciting?”

“It is. I’ve been there to play a few times. I’ve even suppressed Mu Zi—the King of Racing. I bought this car from the winning money. As for the time, it usually starts at 10 PM.”

Looking at his watch, Tang Xiu found that it was only thirty minutes to 10 PM. He then shook his head and smiled, “Though I really want to see it, it seems it’s too late. Forget it.”

“Boss, I’ll call Mu Zi if you wanna join the game,” said Chi Nan quickly, “The race is often postponed due to special circumstances, anyway. Besides, Mu Zi also owes me a big one. So he surely will able to do it if I call him.”

“Exactly what’s this Mu Zi’s background?” asked Tang Xiu.

“He’s Changxi City’s local snake, and his family is very affluent there. Either in politics or business, there’s always some of his family elders there. Thus, Laoshan Highway’s car race has been running smoothly for six or seven years due to his arrangements and management.”

Tang Xiu was surprised for a moment, as he said hesitatingly, “If he can do it, then call him!”

“No problem!” Chi Nan nodded with a smile.

Having said that, she quickly took out her mobile and dialed a cell number.
