Chapter 647: Fruitful Harvest

Standing at the side, Tang Xiu could keenly hear the words of reminder from Chu Yuan’s man. As he looked at Chu Yuan, he could feel a faint fluctuation of energy in his body. The energy fluctuation was not spiritual, for as it did not have any spiritual qi that entered the body. Instead, it was similar to the mental and physical meditation of the Buddhist school of cultivation.

The people from the Ultimate Unity lineage are indeed better than those from the Strange Doors lineage! Tang Xiu lamented inwardly. He then turned his head and found that Xue Yu was still looking at him without blinking. A headache suddenly struck him. He truly regretted what he just inadvertently said. It was never in his intention to provoke a woman, especially a woman who looked flawless.

In his view, Xue Yu’s family was paranoid. They rigidly adhered to outmoded ideas, defending the outdated customs of their ancestors, and simply making fun of the well-being of their future generations.

“I’m sorry, it would be inconvenient.” Tang Xiu’s mind revolved faster and finally hardened his heart to flatly refuse her.

Xue Yu deeply gazed at Tang Xiu and suddenly said with a smile, “Then let us forget it since you feel it’s inconvenient. If anything, I’ll be staying in Star City until Mr. Tang has the time to realize today’s bet.”

“Are you some kind of a dog skin plaster or something?” Asked Tang Xiu snappily.

“I’m not.” Xue Yu shook her head. “But I’m a person who attaches importance to promises, I always do and always will. Mr. Tang doesn’t have time to have dinner with me today, so I’ll be waiting for you to have dinner with me one day, and will always be waiting until you have time to have dinner with me for all my lifetime.”

Ugh… The more Tang Xiu listened to Xue Yu, the more he felt the taste was quite unsuited. Had one not known the whole story of this incident, wouldn’t’ they easily misunderstand it after hearing Xue Yu’s words? After giving it some thought, Tang Xiu looked at Chu Yuan, whose eyes were closed, and suddenly asked, “Mr. Chu, do you have some time tomorrow night? How about I invite you to drink in the most upscale presidential suite in the Long’s Dining Hall?”

Chu Yuan opened his eyes, and his previously chaotic mood had calmed down. He seemed to finally realize Tang Xiu’s intention after hearing his words and suddenly felt that he really was somewhat petty and narrow-minded a while ago. Tang Xiu’s meaning was very evident. He did not have any interest in Jade Beauty whatsoever.

“I do have some time.” Chu Yuan smiled slightly while restraining the invisible superior aura within him.

Tang Xiu nodded in response and smilingly said, “Alright, then for us to have a dinner is no longer an issue, Miss Xue. But it’s not like we have agreed that we can’t invite other people to dine together, right? Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at the anteroom of the Long’s Dining Hall tomorrow night.”

The time flew by in the afternoon. After Master Huang spent quite the effort and concentration, he finally finished cutting all the stone chunks and removed the jade materials from the inside. Under the light, his face was pale as he wiped beads of sweat off it as he looked at Tang Xiu and said, “The task has fortunately been accomplished, Mr. Tang. All the stone chunks have all been cut, and all the jades and jadeites are here.”

“Alright, I’m going to send these things back home first. Please give me the address where you are staying, I’ll look for you after tending to some things I need to deal with. Don’t worry! This Tang Xiu always keeps his promises. I’ve given you my word to heal your leg, and I definitely won’t take it back.”

With a grateful expression, Master Huang said, “Thank you, Divine Doctor Tang…”

After Tang Xiu learned the hotel where Master Huang was staying, he took away all the jades and jadeites removed from the stone chunks, and then bade farewell to Chu Yuan and Xue Yu before he left.

Inside the shed.

After looking at Tang Xiu’s back as he left, Chu Yuan’s eyes then fell on Xue Yu and calmly asked, “Do you believe that he has seen your face?”

“No. I don’t believe it.” Xue Yu shook her head. After saying that, she hesitated for a while and then spoke again, “But I’d rather believe it than not, for I can’t break the customs of the Xue Family if he really has seen my face.”

Chu Yuan secretly forced a smile and said, “I found that Tang Xiu’s identity is very suspicious. I did read about him, and though I know that he’s the secret Big Boss behind the Magnificent Tang Corporation and also a member of the Tang Family from Beijing, I always felt that he must have another identity as well.”

“You mean, he’s the same type of people as us?” Asked Xue Yu, doubtful.

“Yeah.” Chu Yuan nodded. “How can we explain his harvest from stone gambling today otherwise? Each and every stone chunk contained jade or jadeite of very good quality. I have guesstimated his income today, too. If those jades and jadeites he got were to be sold, he can get billions of yuan.”

“So much?” Xue Yu was taken aback.

At the side, Master Huang interjected, “It’s definitely that much, I’m sure. Just that Blood Jade can be sold for a sky-high price. I don’t have much wealth in possession, but if he is willing to sell that to me for 1 billion, I’ll buy it without any hesitation.”

“Let alone 1 billion yuan, I’m still willing to buy it even if the price rises several times. The Imperial Garden has been in existence for hundreds of years, but even though generation after generation has amassed Blood Jades, what we have obtained all these years is still so little.”

Xue Yu fell into silence. She still remembered the first moment she met Tang Xiu. The feeling like she was spied on through her heart made her shudder and feel cold all over her body.

Suddenly, Master Huang asked, “Are you all thinking that he could be someone from the Occult Sect?”

“Are there people surnamed Tang in the Occult Sect, by chance?” Asked Chu Yuan back.

“No.” Master Huang shook his head. “But for one to enter discipleship in the Occult Sect, he only needs to study the Occult Sect’s techniques from its Elders, so he can be counted as Occult Sect’s people, no?”
