Tang Xiu looked at the spirited Miao Wentang and said, “I’m going to delay the eradication operation of the Lian Family for now, as I need to go to Kanas first. I should come back a week later after I’ve finished the matter there. I’ll find ways to get rid of them by then.”
“You wanna go to Kanas?” Miao Wentang was surprised and asked, “What do you wanna do there?”
“Some trivial things,” answered Tang Xiu with a faint smile.
Seeing that Tang Xiu didn’t want to explain it, Miao Wentang no longer asked but nodded and said instead, “I’ll send some men to continue investigating the Lian Family during the week you’re gone, so as to provide you with as much help as possible.”
“No need.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Leave them to Awu and his comrades. They’ll be responsible for the intel, so your family doesn’t need to be involved for the time being. The Lian Family will certainly be seething in a rage after finding that their Patriarch, two ancestors, and more than 20 elite experts have been killed. Any clues that they might discover at such a time would be very dangerous.”
“Had we not investigated and found something last night, I’d perhaps proudly say that the Miao never would fear the Lians. But now, I realized that my family doesn’t have what it takes to fight them. Alright, I’ll listen to you and hold back until we receive your next message,” said Miao Wentang with a forced smile.
Tang Xiu nodded. Even he was wary of the Lian Family now, let alone Miao Wenatang. If the Lian Family were to find out that the Miao harbored some bad intentions towards them, they might vent their rage towards the Miao; even the whole family may be massacred.
Certainly, given Miao Wentang’s strength, he would be able to kill a large number of the Lian Family’s experts easily. Yet, even a hungry tiger isn’t able to fight against a pack of wolves. If those 40-plus ancestors of the Lians were to join hands, the probability that Miao Wentang would be able to escape unscathed was close to nil.
As the afternoon came, Tang Xiu and Xue Yu arrived at Kanas Airport. They had contacted Jie Walie before, so the duo saw the man already waiting for them with arms folded not far away right after they came out of the airport.
“Yo, Brother Tang!”
Jie Walie approached and called out. He was a bit surprised after seeing Xue Yu, but he was still warmly greeted.
Tang Xiu exchanged a hug with him and then smilingly said, “I must trouble you this time, Big Brother Jie. By the way, this is my woman, Xue Yu. Xue Yu, this is a big brother of mine I told you about, Jie Walie.”
“Big Brother Jie Walie,” greeted Xue Yu smilingly with a nod.
Jie Wali raised his thumb up to Tang Xiu and praised, ‘You’re truly blessed, Brother Tang. To think you can find and marry a stunning and beautiful goddess such as this Miss Xue. Anyway, the car is waiting outside, so shall we go now, or do you want to visit my place first? Or, do you have something else in mind…”
“Just send us directly to that village in Longquan Bay!” said Tang Xiu. “That’s the reason we came here this time. I failed to open the Immortal Trove back then, so I gotta try again this time to see what kind of treasures are stored inside it.”
“Got no problem with that!” Jie Walie chuckled.
At Longquan Bay.
After Jie Walie gave a ride to Tang Xiu and Xue Yu to their destination, he didn’t stay long as he was aware that some things were meant to be avoided. He just casually left the Wrangler jeep for them and then left.
At the entrance of the village not far away, Xue Yu asked, “Is this the place where you had a battle back then? It seems like there are only a few people inhabiting this place.”
“There aren’t many locals indeed. But from my previous contact with them last time, I found these people here are very kind and easy to get along with. Alright, let’s head there. I’ve rented a house here for a year, so we have the right to occupy it.”
Xue Yu smiled and nodded in response, then walked alongside Tang Xiu to enter the village. Shortly after they entered, they saw an old man with a harpoon come out from the inside. The old man suddenly looked surprised when he saw Tang Xiu. He looked hesitant for a moment before he ran over and asked, “Aren’t you Mr. Tang?”
“You really got a good memory, Uncle Jia,” replied Tang Xiu with a smile. “That’s right. It’s me.”
Uncle Jia turned to glance around the village twice before he hurriedly turned his head and said, “Are there only two of you coming here, Mr. Tang? Did you bring the rest of your people like last time?”
“Uh?! They didn’t come with me this time.” Tang Xiu was confused and asked, “What exactly happened here for you to ask such a question, Uncle Jia?”
Uncle Jia forced a wry smile and said, “Mr. Tang, I advise you not to go to the house you rented last time if you didn’t bring those people with you. If anything, I still have an empty room in my place, so let’s head to my home first. I’ll tell my wife to clean up the room for you to stay in.”
Tang Xiu realized that there was something wrong and asked, “Exactly what happened here, Uncle Jia?”
“A bunch of bad and rampant people came to the village in these past few months. Not only are they always bullying the people in our village, but they also have taken away and currently occupy the house you rented. You’d just invoke trouble if you were to rashly come over there,” said Uncle Jia with a helpless expression.
