Chapter 777 (2/2)

“So, what do you think, then?” Tang Xiu smilingly asked.

“If you ask me, I understand your idea,” Mu Wanying smiled back and said, “I know that my father has been unreasonable these years. Since I have 25% of the Qingyuan Group’s shares, it means his profits are reliant on me. You can relax about that! Dad won’t dare to voice anything about you if he needs the money in the future!”

Tang Xiu couldn’t help but burst out in laughter after hearing that and said, “Your Dad would really be choked up in anger if he were to find out what you have in mind, you know. I’m absolutely sure that he will think—a grown-up, married daughter really can’t be kept at home anymore… hahaha.”

Mu Wanying seemed a bit shy but still replied, “In any case, he can’t take back a married daughter. I won’t forget to be filial to him, but I can no longer indulge his temper anymore. Mom has been upset and has suffered a lot of injustice because of him all these years. No way I’ll let him wrong you as well.”

“Having a girlfriend like you is really a great thing to have,” interjected Tang Xiu with a smile.

Mu Wanying used to be very reserved; along with her indifference toward fame and wealth, she looked like a gentle and virtuous lady, like an otherworldly female celestial. But at this moment, an inexplicable impulse inside her drove her to say, “Marry me earlier if you’re really happy with me, then.”

“Ugh…”

Tang Xiu was rendered speechless for a long time. He couldn’t verbalize anything and just let out a hollow laugh for a while, and then said, “We are still young; even we have yet to enter the legal marriage age. Besides, we are still students. Let’s just wait until we’ve graduated from the university…”

“Let’s get married after graduation, then,” said Mu Wanying softly.

Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly, yet he let out a smile on his face and said, “No problem.”

Tonight, Mu Wanying spent the night in Tang Xiu’s room, while Tang Xiu himself spent the whole night cultivating. As the next day came, he was still in high spirits as he escorted Mu Wanying to the Qingyuan Group and dealt with the company shares. After everything was done, he sent her off and then returned back to the military base.

After waiting for two days, five tons of high-quality jade was shipped. Tang Xiu’s eyes were glowing when he saw these jades. He had attended the jade meeting event in Star City and had gambled on stones there, even spending quite a lot of money to buy jades. But he had just run his mouth and took a gamble, yet the number of jades he obtained was more than a hundred times greater. Such a refreshing feeling made his mood sky high.

“How are these jades, Mr. Tang?” asked Yang Chuxiong, who accompanied Tang Xiu to the side as they viewed the jades inside the truck’s container.

“The quality is very good,” Tang Xiu nodded with a satisfied look. “They won’t produce any issues using them for the array. However, I’d like Division Commander Yang to send the next batches of jades earlier so that I can lay out the Feng Shui Array as soon as possible and go back quickly too.”

“You can rest assured about that!” Yang Chuxiong said, “It’s an order from First Leader, so no one dares to delay it by a bit. Also, I just received the message that the next batch of jades will all be shipped to Mist Source Island within five days. What about you? When will you start laying out the Feng Shui array?”

“I’ll need a couple of days to inspect the surrounding terrain of Mist Source Island and then I can begin the work immediately,” answered Tang Xiu. “I will bury these jades in some specific positions. If the next batch of jades can be shipped within five days, I can finish the Feng Shui array arrangement in up to half a month.”

“No problem, then!” replied Yang Chuxiong with excitement.

Time fleeted by and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Xiu had collected a total of 15 tons of good quality jades. After inspecting the location, he finally determined that it would only need less than one ton of jade to lay out the Feng Shui array here. Thus, he could pocket the remaining 14 tons for himself.

Laying out a huge Feng Shui array that covered the entirety of Mist Source Island was definitely not a small project. But with the help of Mo Awu and the others, Tang Xiu was able to arrange it faster as they were able to lay out and bury the jades inside the 16 important foundations that took root around Mist Source Island.

“Boss, the Mist Source Island’s authorities just called and they want to see you. Also, there are some reporters from the TV station here wanting to interview you. How should I reply to them?” asked Mo Awu in a whisper as he came to Tang Xiu’s side.

While gazing at the white mist in the distance, Tang Xiu replied without hesitation, “Turn down all of them. Tell them that I’m very busy handling important things and that I have no time for interviews or seeing them. If they want to know anything about the project, tell them to contact Yang Chuxiong.”

Mo Awu received the order, took the communicator, and left.

Time passed quickly again. When all the jades had been delivered on the 13th day, Tang Xiu arranged the entire geomancy array in an array called the Ring Chain Feng Shui array. The array was capable of both defensive and offensive features.

In the southern coastline of Mist Source Island.

Thousands of soldiers had blocked all areas within a dozen kilometers so that no one could leave or enter Mist Source Island. The island was fully blockaded for the time being.

Yang Chuxiong stood beside Tang Xiu while gazing at the two 18-meters-high pillars. His heart was actually filled with confusion and he wanted to ask Tang Xiu several times as to why these two pillars were arranged here. But when he saw Tang Xiu’s solemn expression, he understood that it was inappropriate to disturb him.

“It’s almost time.”

Tang Xiu, who looked at the setting sun from the West where the billowing white mist surged in the distance, finally turned to Yang Chuxiong and spoke to the man.

“What’s almost time?” Asked Yang Chuxiong, looking confused.

“It’s almost time to witness the miracle,” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Division Commander Yang, order your soldiers to evacuate the area and move back five kilometers.”
