Chapter 622: Finding a Chick to “Talk” About Life
Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
The news that Tang Xiu came to the Blue City did not spread out due to the conflict in the Clearlake Club. Moreover, Huang Xu also learned from Long Zhengyu that Tang Xiu was currently hot news, so he immediately notified all the employees who had seen Tang Xiu keep their mouths shut.
And therefore, Tang Xiu’s stay in Blue City for the next few days was very refreshing and tranquil. There was no interruption or disturbance from the media. He drank a bit of wine every day, tasted some delicacies, nested himself in the suite to read, cultivated and spent his time in a fulfilled manner.
“It’s snowing again.”
Inside the most luxurious suite of the Clearlake Club, Tang Xiu stood at the window and watched the dancing snowflakes in the air as he sighed inside. Without counting the 10,000 years in the Immortal World, every time the snowy days came was the most difficult time for him and his mother back when before his 18s. In particular was the issue with heating, as it was so serious that it felt like being tortured.
Knock, knock….
The door was knocked and Tang Xiu was dragged back from his reverie. Following which, he waved his hand and a Primal Chaos Force stream was released and gently opened the door to a slit.
“Come in!”
Long Zhengyu, who stood outside the door, found that the door had slightly opened accidentally, then he pushed it and went inside. When he saw Tang Xiu standing before the window, he was immediately stunned and suspiciously looked around the room before he shifted his eyes back to him. Along with a slightly dumbfounded feeling, he immediately entered the room.
“Tang Xiu, I’m going to leave.”
“Then let’s go back together!” Tang Xiu smiled. “It’s been four plus days, it’s time to go back.”
“No, I’m going to visit the Nine Dragons Island.” Long Zhengyu quickly waved his hand. “All the workers there can’t go home to the mainland because of your request, so I still need to send the necessary welfare needs.”
“When will you be coming back?” Asked Tang Xiu.
“A week, at the most,” answered Long Zhengyu with a smile.
“Bring Mu Qingping and Yinyin with you when you come back!” Said Tang Xiu.
“You’re really good to your treasured disciple,” said Long Zhengyu with a smile.
Tang Xiu didn’t say more since Long Zhengyu didn’t understand the particular nature of the master-disciple relationship among cultivators—Master for a day was a Father for the rest of one’s life; even the elders in the Immortal World were sometimes more important than their biological parents. Ones’ parents may stay with them for some time but wouldn’t be able to accompany them for the rest of their lives. More so the eldership and Masters in the Immortal World possessed formidable cultivation, and the accumulation of attachment and emotions accumulated with the passing years and through millenniums were extremely deep.
Along with Long Zhengyu’s departure, Tang Xiu went back to watching the gently falling snow. He was somewhat hesitant to return to Star City now. His parents were still in the capital and he wasn’t sure what he was going to do there. There would not be much different from staying in Blue City, either, even if he were to return back to Star City now.
“Forget it, then. I’m staying here for a couple more days! At least there are some people here to serve food and drinks for me.” Tang Xiu scoffed at himself as he let out a smile and stretched out his hand to shut the window.
“Umm?”
Suddenly, his expression slightly moved and his eyes fell through the window toward the parking area about 100 meters away. To his surprise, he actually saw an acquaintance there.
Li Xiaoqian?
She seemed to have gone to the Regal Classical Music Academy. Now that the schooling was on holiday, shouldn’t she return to Star City? How would she appear here? And those around her were unlikely to be her classmates either as they looked a bit older. Could it be that they were her family members?
Shaking his head secretly, Tang Xiu recalled that he and Li Xiaoqian were almost cut off from contact ever since they graduated from high school. He learned some things about her from Cheng Yannan when he was with the latter previously. Tang Xiu felt a bit strange when he remembered Cheng Yannan. He directly left for Beijing from Jingmen Island previously, whereas she kept staying in the Everlasting Feast Hall and then went to Clam Island with the experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Could it be that she hadn’t come back yet?
Tang Xiu took his mobile phone and dialed her cell number, but was unable to get through. He remembered the bitter experience Cheng Yannan had gone through, recalling that Chen Xuemei, who was still missing until now, he regretted and pitied the frustrating life these two sisters must have gone through. He used to be like them, suffering difficulty in life along with his mother in the past. He now had come out of that dark—gloomy world, whereas they were still trapped in it.
“I’ll help them out if the opportunity arrives!”
Closing the window, Tang Xiu got up and walked toward the door. Though staying all day in the suite was not stuffy and boring, he still wanted to go out. He didn’t feel like disturbing Li Xiaoqian though he saw her all of a sudden. Since their student’s years had ended, everyone had their own life path, and they wouldn’t have too much contact in the future if they didn’t partake in their life here and now.
Half an hour later, Wang Zidong, who was staying in the suite next door, was yawning in the sofa in boredom. The naked cover girl on the Playboy magazine he was holding couldn’t make him feel refreshed at all. All these days, he really wanted to get close to Tang Xiu, building up a bridge and cultivating friendship, yet it was unfortunate that Tang Xiu was always holed up in his suite every day and he could only see him several times during meal time.
“Aargh, forget it. I need to look for some chicks to spice up my life.”
Wang Zidong bounced up and grabbed his coat before walking out of the room. His handsome face changed all of a sudden when he came out of the building, as an infatuated expression filled his originally dulled, spiritless eyes, and transforming into a love-struck fool’s expression.
