Chapter 439 (2/2)

“They are loose cultivators. The man’s name is Wei Jiangping, and the woman is called Chun Xiu,” Chi Nan informed him.

“And, where are they now?” Tang Xiu furrowed his brow slightly and asked again.

“They are in the Everlasting Feast Hall.”

“Got it. I’ll drive over now,” Tang Xiu said.

Having finished talking, he hung up the phone. He looked at Mu Wanying, who was still carefully eating her meal, and said, “There’s something I need to deal with, you…”

“I’ll go with you.” Mu Wanying looked up and let out a gentle smile as she said, “I think you won’t ditch me here, right?”

Tang Xiu forced a smile, and said, “Are you full already? Shall we go now?”

“All right. I’m full!” Mu Wanying wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue, picked up her handbag, and got up.

—

Half an hour later, Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying arrived at the Everlasting Feast Hall. When Chi Nan saw Mu Wanying and Tang Xiu, a look of admiration filled her eyes. She found that her Boss truly had many female friends, and each of them was a beauty akin to a fairy.

“Where are they?” Tang Xiu directly asked.

“They are being detained in the martial arts training hall,” Chi Nan reverentially said.

Although he wanted to tell Mu Wanying to stay and wait for him, Tang Xiu hesitated and didn’t utter any words after looking at her tranquil expression.

Under Chi Nan’s lead, they quickly arrived at the martial arts training hall. Tang Xiu saw Wei Jiangping and a distressed-looking old lady sitting on a chair.

Sitting on the chair Chi Nan reserved for him, Tang Xiu asked with an indifferent expression, “Wei Jiangping, were you investigating the Everlasting Feast Hall?”

A bitter expression covered Wei Jiangping’s aged face. There was also an awed look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Xiu as he nodded and said bitterly, “We, husband and wife, wanted to know the whereabouts of our two children. We knew the existence of the Everlasting Feast Hall from you, so we sent some people to investigate it. The result was that all the people we sent disappeared. Hence we had no choice but to rush to Jingmen Island personally.”

“So, you were finally discovered by our people, and then got caught?” Tang Xiu asked.

“That’s right!” Wei Jiangping sighed, “We, husband and wife, have an extremely high cultivation level. We thought that only a few people in this world were on par with us. Yet ten experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall were able to hold us down and capture us easily. Even we can feel that if those people had the intention to directly kill us, we would have been slain by their knives and become ghosts now.”

Giving a cold snort as a reply, Tang Xiu then took out his mobile phone to call Gu Xiaoxue. After she answered, he asked, “Do Light and Dark know the current issue with Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu?”

“They already know, Grand Master,” Gu Xiaoxue’s voice came from the mobile phone.

“What was their decision?” Tang Xiu asked.

“They didn’t want to see them!”

While sighing inwardly, Tang Xiu ended the call. Following that, he looked at Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu, saying, “I can spare your life this time, considering that you are the Light and Dark’s biological parents. The capital crime can be exempted, but you can hardly run from the hard consequences. I’ll let the bygones be bygones if you accept my two conditions.”

“Please do say!” Wei Jiangping quickly nodded.

“First, you are not to investigate the Everlasting Feast Hall ever again, and stop looking for your children there,” Tang Xiu stated. “They were at the Everlasting Feast Hall when you were captured, yet they still didn’t want to see you. So I advise you not to waste more time and energy to scheme again”

“We–,” Wei Jiangping hurriedly started to speak.

However, just as he was about to speak out, his wife interrupted him, “Boss Tang, we can accept this demand of yours. Yet in our hearts and minds, we always miss our children and are eager to see them. Could you tell us before we die of old age that you can let us see them?”

“Yes, I’ll give you that chance,” Tang Xiu said.

Looking at Tang Xiu gratefully, Chun Xiu then said, “Please tell us the second condition, then!”

A slight smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s face as he asked, “I now need a zither and the quality should be good. Do you have the means to get one?”

A zither?

“We can do that,” Chun Xiu nodded slowly. “But that zither is someone’s personal belonging. I don’t know whether my old friend’s wife would want to…”

“If she doesn’t want to sell it, you can loan it for me for one night,” Tang Xiu said indifferently.

“It would be no problem then. I’ll see her immediately,” Chun Xiu answered quickly.

Tang Xiu motioned to Chi Nan, and she then untied the ropes on them. Watching the couple get up, he said, “I don’t have much time, I must get it before 5 p.m.”

“Please don’t worry, Boss Tang,” Chun Xiu nodded.

As the couple left, Chi Nan asked curiously, “Boss, what do you want a zither for?”

“That’s because of her good deed.” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “She signed me up to perform a show in the freshmen welcoming party held by the campus tonight. Hence, I must go on stage to perform something.”

“Boss, you are also a zither player?” Chi Nan was amazed and said, “Then, I’ll be sure to appreciate your playing skills tonight!”

Tang Xiu secretly rolled his eyes and said snappily, “Aren’t you already busy with the restaurant? If you are not busy, just roll back to Jingmen Island and go into seclusion there.”

Chi Nan covered her mouth as she giggled at him.
