Chapter 1014 - Domineering (2/2)

Feeling helpless inwardly, Tang Xiu was well aware that it was Gu Yan’er’s way of kicking Ouyang Lei out. He looked at the fella with a dry smile and said, “Well, you should go back first if there’s nothing else, Brother Lei! I’ll send the immortal sword to the Ouyang residence through Xiaoxue in two days at most.”

“Ehh? What immortal sword, Master?” asked Gu Yan’er curiously.

“The Ouyangs found the Violet Fairy for me, so I promised to compensate them with an immortal sword,” answered Tang Xiu.

Gu Yan’er understood instantly and took a finely shaped immortal sword from her interspatial ring. She threw it to Ouyang Lei and said, “This is the immortal sword Master promised you. Take the sword and go quickly! It’s in the middle of the night and my Master must rest even if you don’t!”

It made Ouyang Lei so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He couldn’t figure out why such a beautiful goddess like Gu Yan’er would be so relentless to trample his feelings. She just euphemistically drove him away, and now blatantly kicked him out. It was Tang Xiu who asked him to come here, for God’s sake! Why would he rush to Everlasting Feast Hall at this time otherwise?!

As he got up and prepared to leave, he suddenly recalled something very important and said with a hollow smile, “Well, uh… Ms. Gu, I still have something to ask Tang Xiu, you see…”

“Just say it if you shill have something to say,” replied Tang Xiu with an expression being at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh.

“Well, you haven’t taught me the technique to refine and control this immortal sword! It’s kinda useless for me to take it back, no?!” said Ouyang Lei with a somewhat peculiar face.

Without waiting for Tang Xiu’s reply, Gu Yan’er raised her fair hand and flicked a series of golden runes to enter Ouyang Lei’s soul sea. “That’s the technique to refine and manipulate the immortal sword. I’ve directly engraved it in your soul sea. You can learn it yourself later after you go back.”

Yet, it made Ouyang Lei stunned in fright as fear frantically erupted in his heart. He truly found many golden runes in his mind all of a sudden; a very strange situation that far exceeded his cognition.

“Brother Lei, Yan’er is correct. She has sent the technique to refine and manipulate the immortal sword into your soul sea, so you can learn it after you back,” said Tang Xiu.

“Ah!”

Ouyang Lei stood up, still looking dazed and walked out of the room with the immortal sword as he came to the parking lot. He looked as if he just awakened from a dream as he sat in his S-series Mercedes Benz, sobering up with cold sweat due to fright. Ignoring his men’s inquiries about where to go, he quickly looked at the golden runes as they immediately changed to tiny rays of light that fluttered in his soul sea and dissipated in just a few seconds.

This is so fantastic. Very mysterious! If someone keeps using this mysterious method to put all kinds of knowledge into my brain, then I only need to look at it and just master it completely! That’s so fucking cool!

But how did she do it, though? Is this a technique any cultivator can perform? If so, I must become one in the future, so I can also perform this kind of marvelous technique!

Ouyang Lei clenched his fist and waved it a few times before loudly issuing an order, “Go back to the family!”

****

Inside the room.

Tang Xiu looked at Gu Yan’er and asked, “You just said that you got something to talk about. What is it?”

Gu Yan’er chuckled. “Uh, hehe. It was just an excuse to make Ouyang Lei leave. Anyway, I’ve already collected the exquisite pagoda, Master. When are we going to Nine Dragons Island?”

“We’re setting out now!” said Tang Xiu. “The place has been hectic for the last two days and there are also traces of cultivators. Letting the Everlasting Feast Hall’s members fight those people without proper preparation in advance is bound to inflict losses on us. Besides, the existence of the Nine Dragons Island must not be exposed, so I’m planning to find a deserted island and lay out a large geomancy array there to attract the attention of practitioners all over the world.”

“You can hand over the matter to me, Master,” said Gu Yan’er smilingly.

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “The Heavenly Dao of this plane is suppressing you. Even if you have the power of an immortal, you cannot easily unleash it here. Besides, you have yet to recover from your injuries, so you mustn’t use your ability too much. I’ll do the work and you only need to place the exquisite pagoda and recuperate inside it later.”

Gu Yan’er gave it a thought and nodded. “Yan’er will follow your arrangements, Master.”

Quickly, Tang Xiu, Gu Yan’er, and Gu Xiaoxue appeared in the parking lot, where a dozen members of the Everlasting Feast Hall had arrived and were waiting for them.

Tang Xiu glanced around at them before his vision landed on Chi Nan and said, “Chi Nan, you’re staying here to take care of the Everlasting Feast Hall’s business. You’re the general manager of the restaurant from now on. Someone else will come a year later to replace you, so you can go to Nine Dragons Island to cultivate.”

“I…”

Instinctively, Chi Nan wanted to decline since she really wanted to go to Nine Dragons Island to fight with those who had been harassing the island. However, under Tang Xiu’s gaze, she could only brace herself to nod and accept the assignment.

“I know you feel wronged.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “But you know, you’ll have a double allotment of annual resources from the headquarters for each year as your compensation!”

“Thank you, Boss!” Most of Chi Nan’s depressed emotions dissipated upon hearing this.
