Chapter 405 (2/2)
“Tang Xiu, I indeed had the intention to tell this matter to your Second Grandpa after going back.” Tang Dong said seriously, “But since you’re urging me not to, then I won’t tell anything. I guarantee that nothing will be disclosed to the outside as long as Fatty Ji doesn’t say anything as well.”
Showing a faint smile in response, Tang Xiu then looked at Gu Xiaoxue and said, “Xiaoxue, when the Seaside Strait Manor goes hunting fierce beasts in the Evil Dragon Sea Area later, send a few experts from our Everlasting Feast Hall! We can train our members and get a commission fee from the Seaside Strait Manor at the same time! I believe that with Uncle Dong’s generous disposition, he will give 300 thousand yuan for each member.”
“I’ll arrange it, Grand Master.” Gu Xiaoxue nodded.
“Tang Xiu, these experts from the Everlasting Feast , are they more powerful than the Seaside Strait Manor’s hunting members?” Tang Dong’s eyes lit up and asked with concern.
“I’ve come across your Seaside Strait Manor’s hunting members when I happened to see them hunting low-level fierce beasts before.” Gu Xiaoxue replied Tang Dong’s question, “Let alone those low-level fierce beasts, the experts who will be sent by our Everlasting Feast Hall can even kill higher level fierce beasts as long as they join forces.”
“They are that powerful?” Tang Dong was pleasantly surprised and said, “Great, good then. If so, it’s decided. I’ll give 200 thousand yuan to each Everlasting Feast Hall’s member who goes with our hunting members to Evil Dragon Sea Area. I will also give bonus rewards if they show good performance.”
“Anyways, Uncle Dong, I still have things to do, so I won’t be able to accompany you. When the ores have arrived, tell Xiaoxue to call me.” Tang Xiu chuckled.
“Okay, go busy yourself!” Tang Dong stood and said with a smile.
Today, he felt more delighted than he ever before. The more powerful Tang Xiu’s ability and cards he had in his hands, the happier he was. Because at present, although the Tangs were still illustrious in China, yet, they were secretly in the middle of mighty undercurrent torrential tides from all directions. It was unknown how many enemies were secretly staring at them.
One must know that in these precarious days, due to the Tang Family having few members, they were extremely united. There was even the thought inside each member’s heart that “one’s glory is everyone’s glory, one dying means everyone dying”. Therefore, if Tang Xiu’s final performance could bring the Tangs back to its glory, even he himself was willing to go all out to push Tang Xiu to become the family head.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu returned to the exquisite pagoda. As he saw Gu Yan’er sitting cross-legged in cultivation, he also sat down cross-legged on the floor and began cultivating.
“Master!”
A few seconds after, Gu Yan’er floated from the ice bed and landed in front of Tang Xiu. She also imitated Tang Xiu’s posture and sat cross-legged.
“Why did you stop cultivating?” Tang Xiu smilingly said.
“Yan’er doesn’t want to waste time.” Gu Yan’er shook her head and said with a smile, “Being able to open my eyes and have another second together with Master… I shall use every second to be with you. Anyways, what happened outside? Was it solved?”
“That trivial matter has already been solved.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
Tang Xiu then explained his identity as a member of the Tang Family, as well as what happened between Tang Dong and Gao Yanfeng. After telling her everything, he finally said with a smile, “You’re were for decades, so you should also know the country’s national conditions. There are laws and orders indeed, yet the laws can only bind ordinary people. Besides, as long as it is done cleanly and without leaving any pieces of evidence, no one will be able to do anything even if they want to find trouble.”
“Master, if you want to become this country’s… no, if you want to become the man with the most power on Earth, I can help you achieve it. The Chinese have the saying that those who follow shall prosper and those who resist shall perish, right?”
“I know you’re powerful; you’re able to blow the whole Earth. What else can’t you do, anyway?” Tang Xiu laughed, “However, Master wants to rely on my own ability to do what I want to do. Even if I were to become the most powerful man in the world, what about it? It’s better to have many loyal and powerful subordinates following me. Don’t forget, our goal is to return to the Immortal World and take revenge.”
“Yes, yes!” Gu Yan’er smiled and said, “Anything Master says, Yan’er will listen and follow.”
“You little girl…” Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing.
Gu Yan’er quickly pulled his hand, looking displeased, “Master, I’m not a silly little girl anymore, I’ve grown up already! Even though I’m still very young in your eyes, I’m also an old monster who has lived for thousands of years in the eyes of others. Hence, don’t call me little girl anymore.”
“All right, all right.” Tang Xiu laughed and said, “Our family’s Yan’er is a big girl now, no longer a little girl.”
“That’s more like it!”
Gu Yan’er then lifted her small face, her smile looking especially happy.
“Let’s stop talking about this. Let me ask you one thing.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“What do you want to ask, Master?” Gu Yan’er raised her chin and said, “As long as Yan’er knows, Yan’er will answer you.”
“I want to know why you only accepted Xiaoxue as a disciple, but didn’t take in Light and Dark?” Tang Xiu asked, “I’ve observed them quietly, and I found that their aptitudes are indeed extraordinary. Even their cultivation level is probably on par with Xiaoxue, is it not?”
