Chapter 902 - Being Haughty First And Respectful Afterward (2/2)

Song Donglai’s lips squirmed a few times and dense sweat drilled their ways out of his forehead. He then difficultly spoke, “A-are you really sure that he’s the famous Young Divine Doctor Tang Xiu in the Chinese medicine circle?”

Yang Shi and Liu Pinxin exchanged glances. They both could see the strangeness in Song Donglai’s mannerism. The latter then asked with a puzzled expression, “Boss Song, looking at your face, why do you seem very afraid of Divine Doctor Tang? He’s indeed the Young Divine Doctor Tang Xiu and the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation.”

Song Donglai reached out to prop himself on the wall while squeezing out a smile that was uglier than crying. He then tremblingly muttered, “I’m dead. I didn’t recognize him just now and even held some contempt while looking down on him when I received him. I… I would be very miserable if he harbors some resentment towards me.”

Liu Pinxin smiled and said, “I don’t think you should worry about that, Boss Song. Even though this is my first time meeting him, I got quite a grasp on his character. Divine Doctor Tang is a broad-minded, genial and kind man. He won’t be angry because you don’t pay much attention to him. There’s no way he would do anything unfriendly towards you.”

Kind and gentle?

Song Donglai suppressed his fear and said with an astringent face, “Patriarch Liu, if Divine Doctor Tang is truly kind-hearted and genial, I wouldn’t be so scared stiff like this. But in the eyes of the Occult Sect’s people like me, he… he’s literally a fiendish Grim Reaper—a living Evil Star.”

Liu Pinxin was startled and turned around, but found his mother was also surprised. He then immediately asked with a curious face, “What exactly happened? How come Divine Doctor Tang has such an ominous title?”

Song Donglai looked around. After he found that nobody around was paying attention to them, he suppressed his voice and bitterly said, “Don’t tell me you both haven’t heard of the big incident that happened in the Occult Sect six months ago? A lot of members from many families were massacred, including a lot of powerhouses passing away in the incident. It was all because of him—they were all killed by Divine Doctor Tang.”

“What?!”

Both Yang Shi and Liu Pinxin were greatly shocked at the same time with eyes full of disbelief. How could they not know of the tragedy that happened to the Occult Sect six months ago? They had investigated it for a long time, yet they were unable to find the cause. It turned out that it was actually Divine Doctor Tang who did the massacre. But then again, for what reasons did the Occult Sect’s people provoke Tang Xiu?

“What exactly was the cause?” asked Yang Shi in a whisper.

Song Donglai hesitated for a moment before he answered, “I don’t know the specific causes, but I heard some news from the rumors. Many families under my Occult Sect received a summon from some cultivators to go to Kanas to carry out something big. But for reasons unknown, they got into a conflict with Divine Doctor Tang there. Not only were a lot of Occult Sect’s people killed, but even those cultivators who summoned them were all dead as well. I’ve been under punishment from my family and I haven’t returned back for decades, yet my family sent me a warning that I can provoke anyone but I must never provoke the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation—Tang Xiu.”

Yang Shi was seriously shocked. Although she knew that Tang Xiu was very strong, she didn’t expect that he was powerful to the extent that he could easily slaughter so many people from the Occult Sect. What’s more, he also ruthlessly annihilated those cultivators.

‘He’s a big tree—a huge backer’

Yang Shi shifted her way of thoughts and suddenly got excited. It was because she had decided to follow Tang Xiu and her decision proved to be correct. She had faint worries previously, afraid that Tang Xiu only had a few means to propel her cultivation further due to her old age. But now it seemed that Tang Xiu was truly powerful beyond everything she could imagine!

Shooting a deep gaze at Song Donglai, Yang Shi spoke to him in a deep voice, “You didn’t say anything about this matter and we didn’t ask you about that either. Divine Doctor Tang has picked your place to dine, so you must serve him well and be on good terms with him. We still have time, but we won’t stay any longer.”

“I will. Please rest assured!”

Song Donglai originally wanted Yang Shi and Liu Pinxin to speak good about him in front of Tang Xiu. But he finally realized that they didn’t have that intention at all. It made him vexed inside, though he didn’t dare show it.

A short while after the departure of Yang Shi and Liu Pinxin, Song Donglai gritted his teeth and turned his head to speak to the bald middle-aged man, “Go to my office immediately and take two bottles of God’s Nectar. There’s also some Dahongpao tea in my office. Take it to the Tea Master to brew a pot of tea and deliver it later.”

“Understood!”

The bald stocky man didn’t dare delay and left in strides.

Ten minutes later, when the bald stocky man along with Manager Wang came to Song Donglai, the latter stopped pacing back and forth and took a deep breath before handling the two bottles of God’s Nectar. He then ordered the bald man to leave and led Manager Wang to the VIP box’s door and knocked on it.

“Two honored patrons, how were our Agricola’s dishes? I hope you both are magnanimous enough to forgive us if there was any slight neglect you felt from our treatment.” Song Donglai pretended to not know Tang Xiu’s identity and spoke with a beaming smile.

Tang Xiu glanced at Li Qiang who stood in front of them and spoke expressionlessly, “The venison is not bad, but it seems to have many special ingredients put on it, doesn’t it?”

Song Donglai’s heart suddenly thumped and he gulped upon hearing that being mentioned. He let out a dry smile and said, “You can rest assured that even though some ingredients are indeed very special, it won’t have any harmful effects on the human body after we mix them up in our kitchen.”

“Relax, I don’t have any other meaning mentioning that,” said Tang Xiu. “Well? Isn’t that Gods Nectar? Does your Agricola also provide Gods Nectar wine?”

“No, no, no,” replied Song Donglai in a hurry. “God’s Nectar is the best wine available. How can we have such high-grade of wine here? It’s just that everyone who dines in our VIP box is our honored, distinguished guests. I also spent great efforts and difficulties to obtain these two bottles of God’s Nectar for us to have. Manager Wang, why are you dozing off here for? Quickly pour tea for Mr. Tang!”

“Alright!”

Although Manager Wang didn’t understand why her Boss had a 180-degree turn in his attitude towards Tang Xiu, she still respectfully poured the brewed tea into the cups and served them in front of the duo.
