Chapter 869: Sending Barrage of Blows

Seeking revenge for the slightest resentment was not Tang Xiu’s nature. He also didn’t bother to care about trivial matters usually. He would never call Miao Wentang just because of the trivial incident at tonight’s charity gala, but it was for Hu Qingsong, his classmate and a good friend who had suffered under Miao Jinlei’s hand that made him unwilling to let this fellow get off scot-free.

At this time, he already had turned on his mobile phone’s loudspeaker.

As his call was picked up, Miao Wentang’s voice came out of the phone and Tang Xiu said with a smile, “It’s been a long time, Old Brother Miao. Where are you?”

“Brother Tang, what a rare occasion of you to call me on your initiative!” Miao Wentang chuckled and replied. “Anyways, I’m currently in Blue City since I’ve got some things to be done here. I should be leaving for Shanghai afterward a couple of days later.”

“Well, I got something important to tell you, but since you’re coming to Shanghai a few days from now, just forget it! I’ll be waiting for you to come over and tell you directly later,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Don’t! You said it’s very important, so go ahead, tell me,” replied Miao Wentang in a hurry.

Tang Xiu intentionally hesitated for a moment as he pretended to sigh and said, “Alright then. I’ll tell you since Brother Miao wants to know it. Anyways, is Miao Jinlei your nephew? I just saw him today.”

Miao Wentang loudly laughed and said, “What do you think about him, Brother Tang? He’s passable, no?”

“He’s indeed.” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “Definitely a man who will court disaster and cause calamity to befall upon his family. I even experienced it from him today.”

“That’s my nephew for… No! What did you say? He’ll court disaster for the family? What do you mean by that, Brother Tang?” Miao Wentang’s voice from the mobile suddenly changed tone.

“Sigh…” Tang Xiu sighed and said, “I truly didn’t want to call you this time, but we have an excellent personal relationship—comrade-in-arms, who have fought shoulder by shoulder with our lives on the line. I even hesitated for a long time before I decided to call you! But alas… I could be suspected of complaining, so to speak, nonetheless!”

Miao Wentang’s tone turned solemn and he seriously said, “You said we are brothers since we have braved dangers and had our lives on the line together, so do tell what you wanna tell me.”

Tang Xiu glanced at Mu Wanying next to him and said, “Brother Miao, something happened tonight… I’ll tell the short version of the story. It was just a trivial incident of a bidding session at the charity gala’s auction, but I couldn’t be bothered to lengthen it since I know that he’s your nephew. Besides me, however, he also offended Zhang Yueming, Gu Changmin, and Zhang Qingfeng.”

“That damned bastard!”

Miao Wentang was so angry that he nearly fainted and cursed.

“Don’t get anger flushing to your head first, Brother Miao.” Tang Xiu sighed and continued, “You also know about the Old Blind lady from Miao Region, right?”

“The Old Blind lady of Heavenly Secrets Lineage?” exclaimed Miao Wentang suddenly, shocked.

“Yeah, it’s her.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “I can tell you that I’m very close with her and I’ll be taking care of her as she passes her remaining days in the future. You can say that she’s an elder quite close to me. I also learned some divination arts to calculate fate from her, and even though I have yet to reach great accomplishment, I can still peep into some Heavenly Secrets from the Heavenly Dao and I’ve verified it with the inheritance imparted to me.”

Miao Wentang knew Tang Xiu’s abilities and he had long guessed that Tang Xiu had a very terrifying heritage. Added with the abilities learned from that mysterious Old Blind, he would be able to surpass the latter, meaning that his cultivation in divination art must have reached a frightening level as well.

While suppressing the shock he had inwardly, Miao Wentang hurriedly asked, “Please continue, Brother Tang.”

“I already told you the incidents I encountered today, didn’t I,” sighed Tang Xiu. “Tonight’s charity gala was pretty much bland in and of itself, but your nephew turned it into an excessive show, hence why I used divination art to peer into his fate on impulse. And, the result was… alas!”

“What’s the result, Brother Tang?” asked Miao Wentang hurriedly, “Please don’t keep me hanging like this. Just tell me—what did you see when you peered into my nephew’s fate?”

“He is an evil star that is the bane of other’s existence and has a bloody path to walk on,” said Tang Xiu.

“What?”

Miao Wentang, who was in Blue City, instantly paled with disbelief. His heart couldn’t bear it and shuddered a few times.

“He should have a magical tool that can protect him, allowing him to grow up safely up until now, and he will stay safe and sound for the next few years,” said Tang Xiu solemnly. “But when he turns twenty-seven, the accumulated disaster will break out abruptly; when that time comes, huge changes will befall upon your Miao Family. What I saw was bloodshed as the blood of your family flows like a river and their dead bodies lied around everywhere. He’s the only one who survives the ordeal, destined to live alone and to be tormented for the rest of his life as he spends his remaining years in loneliness until death comes to take him away.”

“How could that happen? How can this be?”

Instantly, Miao Wentang’s face was as though devoid of blood. He didn’t doubt Tang Xiu who had too many magical and mysterious abilities.

Yet still, how could that be possible?

He was a cultivator, while his Miao Family was also the richest and most powerful family in Haiqing Province. They had power, influence, and wealth; how could such a giant suddenly collapse?
