Chapter 924 - Tang Xius Women ARE the Shortcut (2/2)
“Alrighty!”
She grabbed Tang Xiu’s hand and also gently held Xue Yu’s shoulder. A huge aura then exuded out of her as their figures instantly disappeared.
By the time Tang Xiu and Xue Yu felt that heaven and the world were spinning around for a short while, they appeared in a remote place in the Eastern Municipality of Ning City.
“We’ve arrived!”
“Already?”
Xue Yu looked around in surprise and looked puzzled.
“Yan’er’s actual strength is of an Immortal, so let alone a distance like this, even going to the moon would only take her a second,” said Tang Xiu. “Anyway, let’s set off! Now that we’ve arrived in Ning City, there’s no rush to go to that place, so we’re heading to the Miao to make some plans first.”
Xue Yu only stared at him with a half-believing, half-doubting look. She may have transformed into a powerhouse at the peak stage of Soul Formation all of a sudden, but she hadn’t yet learned any spells at all, so it was natural that she never knew of such a flight speed.
Quickly after, the trio then took a taxi. Only after they entered the bustling downtown street did Xue Yu really realize that they had indeed returned to Ning City. As shocked as she was, she yearned even more to learn how to fly. She could only imagine how free and happy it would be to be able to fly freely in the sky.
The Manor of the Miao Family Residence.
After combining coercion and bribery to force the taxi driver to drive to the manor’s gate, Tang Xiu gave the driver several hundred-yuan bills and entered the Miao Family’s manor under the respectful gaze of the six security guards.
“Brother Tang!”
When Miao Wentang received the news of his arrival, Tang Xiu was already at his residence. After he rushed over, however, his mouth turned into a big O and his eyes turned big when he saw the two women around him.
“A-Again? … another superb… peerless beauty?”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Brother Miao, why are you showing that current face of yours, huh? Anyway, lemme introduce you to my disciple. Her name is Gu Yan’er.”
“I’m also Master’s woman,” added Gu Yan’er hurriedly.
Her comment invited Tang Xiu’s angry glare as he said, “Don’t listen to this girl’s nonsensical talk, Brother Miao!”
As for Miao Wentang, he composed himself and wryly smiled, “I’m truly convinced now, Brother Tang. Each and every woman around you is truly a stunning beauty. You make me feel like all the belles under the sun have become your woman, you know that?”
Though smiling, Tang Xiu snappily snarled at him, “Hey, old man, can you not make fun of me here? Let’s just sit down and have a cup of tea. We shall head off to the Lian Family directly after Awu comes with his report. We’re going to completely eradicate this wicked family.”
The last word from Tang Xiu made it so that Miao Wentang had to suppress his shock inside, and he was able to respond with a solemn face, “The Lian Family is literally a malice cancer if they are not removed ASAP, that I know. But… we just can’t weed them out just like that, can we? In case…”
Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Nah, there won’t be any predicaments later. You also know that I naturally won’t strike them if I don’t have assurance, don’t you? Just put your worries in your belly, Brother Miao!”
“But Brother Tang, then the card in your hand is…” replied Miao Wentang with a confused face.
While pointing at Gu Yan’er, Tang Xiu smilingly said, “Well, it’s rather fortunate that my dearest disciple came here; I’m kinda using her strength to deal with them. Even if both of us don’t act, the Lians will definitely be doomed today. Completely.”
Miao Wentang looked at Gu Yan’er and incredulously exclaimed, “What did you say, Brother Tang? Miss Gu? Is… this even possible? Please don’t throw such a joke at me.”
“Well, well. Aren’t you looking down on women?” questioned Tang Xiu smilingly.
“I’m not holding any contempt because she’s a woman, mind you,” rebuked Miao Wentang with a bitter smile while shaking his head. “It’s just that Miss Gu is a young lady and she’s also your disciple, so how could she have a way to deal with the Lians? Brother Tang, we are facing quite a serious problem here, so let’s be serious. We cannot harm Miss Gu in any way.”
Tang Xiu, however, let out a strange smile and said, “You also know about the Everlasting Feast Hall, don’t you? But do you know who established it?”
“Of course I know about that. It’s that Little Boss Gu Xiaoxue’s Master who founded it,” answered Miao Wentang with a nod. “You… huh, what? You mean…”
Nodding and smiling, Tang Xiu replied, “Yup. She’s Xiaoxue’s Master, so now you should understand, right?”
Miao Wentang desperately gulped down. He looked at Gu Yan’er with shock fully covering his face. He then muttered, “It turns out that once one’s cultivation has reached a certain realm then that person can really keep their youthful looks. M-Miss… Miss Gu… No. That’s not right. I should address you as Senior Gu. It’s just that I never expected that the founder of the Everlasting Feast Hall would turn out to be so young and as stunningly beautiful as you are.”
Tang Xiu burst into laughter and smilingly said, “Oh, my. Please don’t throw the flattery. That trick won’t work on her.”
However, Gu Yan’er smilingly interjected, “But I think his words are very effective on me, Master. I’m indeed a very beautiful flower as well as so young and promising. How can I otherwise deserve to be your woman, right?”
In the end, it was Miao Wentang whose head got short-circuited, as he was now unable to figure out what kind of relationship there was between Tang Xiu and Gun Yan’er.
