Tan Zhenman stared at Xi Li for some time before speaking, ”If what you said is true and someone helped us, it could only be the guy that taught me…”
She didn’t know how to address Mo Wuji. ‘Elder brother’ seemed inappropriate. ‘Master’ wasn’t right either, as she had declined going under his wing, which probably was the greatest regret of her entire life.
”It’s your master?” Xi Li asked.
But Tan Zhenman could only smile while shaking her head, ”No. Even though he taught me some technique, I declined taking him as my master.”
”...” Now it was Xi Li’s turn to stare at Tan Zhenman in disbelief. If such an expert took him as a disciple, he definitely wouldn’t turn him down. He couldn’t understand what Tan Zhenman was thinking back then.
Seeing Xi Li’s surprised expression, Tan Zhenman sighed, ”Back then I only thought about going to Planet Diyuan. I didn’t want to remain on Earth at all, but that man required me to stay on Earth as his disciple.”
”Ah?” Xi Li didn’t comprehend the rationale behind this. The Earth’s environment was already polluted to a frightening extent, even to the point that the Earth might start breaking down. So what was the use of staying on Earth? On top of that, he couldn’t understand why Tan Zhenman was so adamant about going to Planet Diyuan till she gave up being that man’s disciple.
”Senior Xi Li, what should we do now?” Tan Zhenman might have been cleansed by Mo Wuji, but she still did not possess much battle experience, hence she did not know whether to stay or to leave.
In a low voice, Xi Li responded, ”We’ll leave right away. If it was that man that saved us, then the Xia family’s Xia Zhi would definitely have been killed by him. Otherwise, saving us would be pointless because Xia Zhi would murder us once we leave this place. If we leave the plaza and Xia Zhi does not appear, then we would know what had happened.”
”Ding Ling Ling!” Xi Li’s mobile phone suddenly rang, which made him scramble for it. After picking up, he only heard a few sentences before hanging up with a look of shock on his face.
”Senior Xi Li, what’s the matter?” Tan Zhenman quickly asked.
Taking in a deep breath, Xi Li explained with a rather weird expression, ”Just now the Space Navigation Federation informed me that the Xia family’s pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Jing Yang City’s Lian Mai District were all destroyed, and not a single bit was left behind. On top of that, all males of age in the Xia family were killed…”
Both of them stared at each other again. Even though Tan Zhenman was still in school, she knew very clearly how scary the Xia family was. Adding Xia Zhi to the mix, the Xia family was definitely the number 1 family on Earth. They were the most powerful and profitable. What kind of power would be required to destroy them in such a short period of time?
”Zhenman, where was the elder that taught you those techniques from? Where does he live? Can I pay a visit to him?” Xi Li gazed at Tan Zhenman intently.
If he could invite Mo Wuji to Planet Diyuan, then the migration of Earth would be more or less successful. The beasts on Planet Diyuan were definitely not a match for an expert of this calibre.
Unfortunately, Tan Zhenman shook her head, ”I only know that his name is Mo Wuji. That’s right, he was brought to school by a schoolmate of mine…”
Just as she spoke till this point, her mobile phone rang as well. She quickly picked up the call, and became emotional upon hearing Xian Zhiyang’s voice on the other end of the line.
”Zhiyang, where are you?” Tan Zhenman agitatedly asked. She couldn’t find Mo Wuji, and only Xian Zhiyang could.
As he heard Tan Zhenman’s emotional voice through the phone, Xian Zhiyang was stunned for a few seconds, then he said, ”I’m at Gua Cheng City…”
Since when did he become so close with Tan Zhenman? For her to directly call him ‘Zhiyang’? And with a tone that sounded like she was talking to an old friend which she had not seen for years?
”I’ll come over immediately. You won’t be leaving right?” Tan Zhenman’s voice was still quivering.
This string of events made Xian Zhiyang stare at his phone, speechless. Was he the one trying to find her, or was it the other way around? Why did it seem like she really wanted to find him from the tone of the tone of her voice?
Hence, he quickly followed up, ”I’m not leaving. Oh yes, Tan Zhenman, I have something I need you to help with…”
”What? Just tell me, and I’ll help you if I can.” Tan Zhenman said unhesitantly.
”Well…” Xian Zhiyang hesitated for a moment, but still continued, ”I’m short of some money, and need to borrow five million from you. I spent all my money on buying land. Once the price of land increases, I’ll return the money to you as soon as possible.”
Without a second thought, Tan Zhenman immediately replied, ”Sure, send me your card number. I’ll transfer the money using my phone.”
When Tan Zhenman put down the phone, Xi Li thought, ‘Who was that? Tan Zhenman actually became so emotional?’
”Senior Xi Li, the person that called was my schoolmate, the one that brought Senior Mo to our school. Because he did so, I got to know Senior Mo, and gained an opportunity.”Tan Zhenman quickly explained.
Xi Li also became agitated, ”So can we visit this schoolmate now?”
”Beep beep!” A new message popped into Tan Zhenman’s phone, and in it was Xian Zhiyang’s card number.
”Sure, he’s in Gua Cheng City. I’ve already talked to him about it, so wee can head over immediately.” Tan Zhenman spoke while transferring the money to Xian Zhiyang.
