Chapter 840 - Paying a Visit (2/2)

The security guard was stunned and then replied with creased brows, “Who are you? This place is the residence of our young Boss, Wang Tao. Wang Rui doesn’t live here.”

‘It’s as I guessed.’

Tang Xiu smiled inwardly, yet wore a nonchalant expression. “I know Wang Rui doesn’t live here, so I’m going to see Wang Hao first. Pass the message that my name is Tang Xiu.”

The security guard looked at Tang Xiu suspiciously. He faintly sensed that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary status judging from Mo Awu’s attitude towards Tang Xiu. He hesitated for a while before he nodded and said, “Please wait here for a while. I’ll go inside and ask.”

Inside the villa building, the pale Wang Tao was sitting on the sofa, looking lackadaisical with a lazy air emitting out of his whole being. His eyes were staring at the TV, but his pupils looked distracted and not focused on it. He obviously wasn’t even watching the TV series at all.

“Young master Wang, a security guard just came in and said that someone is paying you a visit.” A capable-looking beautiful woman in a grey suit walked inside and reported.

Wang Hao came back to his senses and looked confused, “What did you just say?”

The capable woman repeated the words she just said and continued, “The security also informed that the person was looking for Wang Rui at first, but then said that he’d like to see you since Wang Rui doesn’t live here.”

Wang Tao frowned. After a few seconds in silence, he said, “Let him come in, since he’s looking for Wang Rui.”

“Alright!”

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu strode into the villa and looked at the young man sitting on the sofa. His eyes gleamed and he could confirm that this young man was Wang Hao who seemed to have some illness.

“May I know who are you?” asked Wang Hao, who still sat while looking at Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu let out a small smile and answered, “Tang Xiu from the Magnificent Tang Corporation.”

Magnificent Tang Corporation?

Wang Hao was stunned and his expression slightly changed. He put on his slippers and stood up, then smilingly said, “I see, you’re the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corp., Tang Xiu. No wonder why I felt vaguely familiar with the name the security guard reported to me! May I know why are you coming to this small place, and also visiting this humble abode of mine?”

Tang Xiu shook hands with him. After the two men took a seat on the sofa, Tang Xiu said, “I’m actually looking for Wang Rui this time. He has rescued a subordinate of mine in the battle in the South China Sea and he also lost some of his men, so I made a special trip here to thank him and talk about something else.”

‘The battle in the South China Sea?’

Wang Tao seemed to recall something and quickly asked, “You mean my brother encountered some troubles in the South China Sea because he saved your subordinate, so then he had to fight those ability users?”

“Correct.” Tang Xiu nodded.

Wang Tao looked at Tang Xiu’s face and his expression turned more respectful. Although he didn’t know the specific details of what had unfolded there, he also knew that the powerful figures in Qingcheng Mountain had lost miserably because of that incident. Even his big brother, Wang Rui, had to receive a severe punishment and was now locked up and facing a wall in Qingcheng Mountain to reflect on his mistakes.

“I’ve been trying to contact Wang Rui, but his mobile is off all the time, so I can’t get in touch with him,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I heard him speaking about you, so I came to Qinglin County to find you, in the hope that I can ask you to pass him the news that I came here. Also, the elder who went with him that time is kinda heavily injured and I happened to obtain a certain medicine that has an excellent healing property.”

In that instant, all the doubts and suspicions Wang Rui had toward Tang Xiu vanished. His big brother, Wang Rui, was indeed accompanied by an elder from Qingcheng Mountain who was responsible for protecting his safety. That old man was injured when they came back.

“Boss Tang, are you… also, someone who walks on the cultivation path?”

“I am.” Tang Xiu nodded and asked, “Your brother hasn’t told you my identity?”

“I don’t have the aptitude to cultivate, so I don’t know much about cultivation.” Wang Tao forced a smile and explained, “My brother is currently being punished by facing a wall in order to reflect on his mistakes inside the dungeon of Qingcheng Mountain after he came back, so he didn’t tell me anything. Brother… Big Brother Tang, may I ask you about the type of medicine you obtained, like whether it’s only effective for internal injuries?”

“What’s wrong? Now that I see it, your condition looks very serious.” Tang Xiu smiled and asked, “You haven’t found any means to treat it yet?”

“You can see that I have an illness?” asked Wang Tao, surprised and amazed.

“If I can’t see it, then how can I be a cultivator?” said Tang Xiu. “Just looking at the color of your face, I can see that the cause of your illness should be from your kidney.”

‘He’s a cultivator?’

Wang Tao was shocked inwardly and looked flustered. He jumped up from the sofa almost abruptly and exclaimed, “You’re a Daoist cultivator? One who walks on the cultivation path to becoming immortal?”

“If one’s cultivation realm has reached a high level, it’s indeed possible to ascend and become immortal,” said Tang Xiu with a chuckle.

Wang Tao furiously swallowed his own saliva and asked with a face full of hope and anticipation, “Big Brother Tang, can you see whether I can also become a cultivator? Also… about my illness, could you help cure me? I… I-I’ll definitely repay you if you can cure me.”
