1171 A Trial (2/2)
Gong Wan'er couldn't help but gasp.
Double the strength?
I indeed lack in the physique and constitution refinement since Miyaji never permits me to practice any secret art or other means to temper my physique. That's the reason my physical strength is even worse than the other lower disciples of Joyous Palace.
However, even if her physical strength was very poor, it had, nonetheless, reached quite a fearsome degree. Yet, two Blood Seizing Pills could double her physical strength? That was simply a very terrifying effect!
Tang Xiu lifted a leg and placed it atop the other. He lit up a cigarette again and slowly drew the smoke in and out, waiting for Gong Wan'er's reply. He wanted her to be his subordinate as he had been devising a plan. On the one hand, it was because of her constitution, while the other one was the fact that she could offer some assistance later.
For instance, the campaign to eradicate the Joyous Palace. Another instance was, he could plant a nail in the Buddhist Realm once she ascended there. After he ascended to the Immortal World in the future, it would be inevitable that he would have some dealings with those in the Buddhist Realm, thus planting his agent there was necessary.
Finally, Gong Wan'er glanced at Kuwako, then a firm expression appeared on her face as she seriously said, ”I promise you.”
Tang Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised. ”Those who understand the situation are smart and outstanding. You bumped into me, that's the great chance you've ever had in your life. Alright, I'll have a trial set for you and you'll be qualified to be a disciple of my Tang Sect if you pass it.”
”What trial?” Gong Wan'er seemed to have guessed it, but she still asked.
”I'm going to uproot the Joyous Palace and kill the Palace Master.” Tang Xiu slowly explained, ”But this is just merely the first step, whereas the second will be to destroy all the experts under General Fukuda's flag.”
”Do you have enmity with them or something? What exactly is your purpose for doing this?” asked Gong Wan'er.
Tang Xiu pointed to Kuwako and lightly said, ”She needs to be the supreme existence in the whole of Japan. Her every word and deeds will determine the fate, the rise and fall of this country.”
Gong Wan'er couldn't help but shudder as she was terrified by Tang Xiu's words and how big his ambition was. He actually wanted to control the whole of Japan?!
”Sect Master.”
Gong Wan'er respectfully bowed to Tang Xiu.
”No. You are not yet qualified to address me that way for now, unless the Joyous Palace and the entire force of General Fukuda have been destroyed.” Tang Xiu shook his head. ”Before then, you will call me Boss!”
”Understood, Boss!”
She respectfully replied, but after having spoken that, she hesitated. Then, she asked, ”But Boss… do you really want to kill the Joyous Palace Master? Can you…”
Tang Xiu interrupted her. ”I don't have any mortal enmity with the Joyous Palace Master whatsoever. There's never been any reason for me to kill him, but he's a Buddhist Sect's renegade, a remnant. Even if I don't kill him, those Buddhist Sect people will likely arrive soon and he's as good as dead already.”
The Buddhist Sect?!!
Gong Wan'er fell into silence. She had long known about the deep enmity between Miyaji and the Buddhist Sect, but little did she expect that the man turned out to be a remnant of the Buddhist Sect's renegades in China.
Tang Xiu got up and led Kuwako Yamamoto and Gong Yan'er to the first floor of the courtyard. After seeing the kneeling Tang An there, he lightly said, ”This is your first disobedience. I don't want to have a second one!”
”Understood!” Tang An loosened up. She knew that the punishment was now just a thing of the past.
”Anyway, I need to know the situation over there,” added Tang Xiu. ”Kuwako, change your appearance again and head over there with your men to inquire about the news.”
”Receiving order!”
Kuwako replied curtly and left the courtyard quickly.
”And you, Tang An. If the battle over there is over already and whoever the victor is, the present situation in the capital will be very fragile and tumultuous even with the slightest disturbance. Kuwako may have changed her looks, but some observant people will likely keep her on tabs. You're to follow her and take her away immediately should any peculiar circumstances occur.”
”Consider it done,” replied Tang An respectfully.
After Tang An left, Mo Awu strode lightly to Tang Xiu's side and whispered, ”Have you forgotten one thing, Sect Master?”
”Ehh? What is it, though?” asked Tang Xiu.
”If I remember correctly, you seem to have stuffed your cell phone in your interspatial ring before,” said Mo Awu.
Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment. He suddenly remembered that he was still waiting for the call from the Buddhist Sect people. After taking out the cell phone in his interspatial, he checked it out and only found a short text from Kang Xia:
”Boss, please call back immediately after you read this.”
