Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1006 There's Always Someone Better Than You
The existence of such an exquisite pagoda was an absolute secret known only to the six people in the entire Eternal Feast Hall. Aside from Gu Yan'er and the loyal Ji Chimei, only he and the three Gu Yan'er disciples knew of his existence.
Therefore, even though Chi Nan was a core member of the Eternal Feast Hall and was also loyal to him, she still could not tell him the existence of the beautiful pagoda, or at least not now.
Chi Nan's smiling face disappeared, replaced by a hint of respect as she replied in a low voice, "Your subordinate accepted his mistake, Boss. ”
“Knowing and admitting your own mistakes is the best way to improve yourself, Chi Nan. And the warning I gave you was for your own good, ” Tang Xiu said faintly. “We will face more problems in the future and the more you know, the more you will expose yourself to danger. The most important thing for you is to cultivate seriously. Only by becoming stronger will you have the qualifications to make me appreciate you so much in the future. ”
“This branch has just broken through the mid stage of Foundation Establishment and will not be someone that can be ignored in the future. I believe I am at the top of the list among all the core members of our Eternal Party Hall, ” Chi Nan said hurriedly.
At his reply, a strange expression appeared on Tang Xiu's face as an expression of sarcasm flashed across his eyes. Then, he said nonchalantly, “Hearing from your tone, you seem to think that reaching the mid stage of Foundation Foundation is great? You think you're now among the best of all the members, huh? ”
"This branch doesn't dare to think so," Chi Nan said quickly.
"Because of the responsibility I have to remind you, among the less than 200 core members of the Eternal Feast Hall at the moment, three of them had broken through to the Golden Core Stage with two at the middle stage of the Golden Core, 19 had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and the other 46 were at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. You have just broken through to the mid stage of Foundation Establishment and have just entered the list of 46 people in this world. Do you think you can think of yourself as one of the best among less than 200 people? "
'What?' With disbelief visible on his face, Chi Nan was gaping and could not say anything for a long time. "I was placed 46th?"
He had spent most of his time cultivating aside from his job and spent quite a lot of money to purchase a lot of cultivation resources from the Eternal Feast Hall. He had done all he could and was still ranked 46th?
'This ... how is this possible?'
As Tang Xiu walked outside, he spoke again, "What you just heard is the truth. You are ranked 46th even at your cultivation stage among the nearly 200 core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall. From your fighting experience and battle efficiency, you can't even be ranked 46th. Cultivation realm was not a measure of one's strength, as only those who often lived the ends of life and death and fought the best experts could be called true powerhouses. Aside from those who are on the Island of the Nine Dragons and some who live on Jingmen Island, many others have experienced brutal battles and even some of our core members have fallen. ”
Up until now, Chi Nan had been completely shaken, as she had never thought that an enemy had appeared on the Island of the Nine Dragons and had even engaged in a frantic battle with her other comrades. It never occurred to him that some of his brothers and sisters were killed in battle.
What the hell is going on in there?
It was only at that moment that he felt ashamed of being arrogant just because he had advanced to the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. It turned out that the rest had also improved and many of them were likely tougher than him.
"I'm wrong, Boss," Chi Nan said with an embarrassed face as she lowered her head.
Tang Xiu stopped walking and turned to look at her. Then, he lightly said, “We are relatively close because you have more contact with me, so you have to remember that there is always someone better than you. The end result of arrogance and arrogance is finding yourself to be constantly defeated by others. In reality, I appreciate you very much, and you will still have great achievements in the future as long as you are willing to work hard. ”
"I will definitely work harder for it, Boss," Chi Nan replied firmly.
Tang Xiu no longer spoke. After they came to the long parking lot, he just sat in the back seat when he saw Chi Nan in the driver's seat and said, “Also, investigate a woman named Yang Yan. She's a fashion designer and has her own studio … "
"Understand!" Answer Chi Nan. He then started the car and headed towards the Everlasting Feast Hall headquarters.

The Paradise Club of Jingmen Island.
The super luxury yacht quietly docked in the harbor. It was late at night, yet many visitors were still in and out of the ship. Most of them dress well with successful people. Eight middle-aged men dressed in black suits were seen standing on either side of the hallway as they meticulously inspected all the incoming and outgoing guests.
Wearing a red evening gown and wearing a sparkling platinum necklace around her neck was Ouyang Yun. A dazzling smile surfaced on his face as he checked the membership cards of the incoming guests.
"Hello, can you show me your membership card?"
Still smiling, he looked at the woman whose eyes always seemed evasive and seemed to be in a narrow corner.
The woman named Yang Yan touched the tip of her shirt with a finger. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Seat at Paradise Club need a membership card? I know the waiter here; he's my brother. Can you let me through? I need to see him. ”
"I've called him, but my call didn't work out," Yang Yan replied quickly.
"What's your brother's name?" Ask Ouyang Yun.
"Yang Fei," Yang Yan replied.
Ouyang Yun looked at the middle-aged man at the side and said in a deep voice, “Come in and ask if we have a servant named Yang Fein in our club. Bring him here if there is. ”
"Good . "The sturdy middle-aged man replied and walked towards the luxurious ship.
A few minutes later, he returned with a sleepy young man. When they arrived at the entrance, the young man looked surprised as he walked towards Yang Yan and said, “Why are you here, Sis? Didn't I tell you that you can't bother me at work unless there's something important? "
Yang Yan glanced at Ouyang Yun and seemed to hesitate to speak.
Ouyang Yun, who had just checked the membership of some guests, noticed Yang Yan's expression and immediately said, "You can go to a further place if your conversation is uncomfortable for outsiders. However, the ship will be sailing for half an hour and I do not want any personal matter to interfere with your work here as a servant. ”
"I understand, General Manager," Yang Fei replied quickly.
After a while, Yang Yan and Yang Fei came to a place ten meters away from the entrance. The latter wore an inquisitive look and asked in a low voice, "What's up, Sis? Why did you come here?"
"Little Fei, you should hurry up and quit your job here," Yang Yan said bitterly. “We have to leave for Beijing immediately. I called my classmate. We will stay in his place for some time while making our plans. ”
"Why do we have to go to the capital, Sis?" Yang Fei asked, looking confused.
“I just offended someone and he's a strong person on Jingmen Island. They are chasing me now and they will come soon to pick me up, ” explained Yang Yan. “That's why we have to leave Jingmen Island first. We have to stay in Beijing for some time until things get cold. We will return in secret later to sell our property because this place is no longer suitable for us to live in. ”
Yang Fei's complexion turned pale and he quickly asked, "Who have you offended, Sis? What the hell is going on? Please tell me clearly. ”
"I offended the owner of the stud farm in the countryside to save my close friend," Yang Yan said with a bitter smile. “You and I used to go to that horse race to ride horses, so you should know the owner, Gu Fugui. He's a strong man here. Even if his palm cannot cover heaven, it is easy for him to deal with people like us. Also, there was still someone behind Guo Fugui who was likely much bigger than him. That's why we have to run to Beijing to lie still until things get calmer. ”
The sudden news was so frightening to Yang Fei that a chill ran down his back. He naturally knew who Guo Fugui was. What he knew about this man was even more than his sister.
On the surface, Guo Fugui is just the owner of a rural stud farm. However, he controlled more than ten casinos, several five-star hotels, and was one of the major players of money laundering on Jingmen Island.
To think his sister had caused such a huge problem by offending this man was something that Yang Fei could not imagine. Guo Fugui was famous for being a very cruel person on Jingmen Island and those who offended him did not end up with a good ending. Yet there was still a much stronger person behind him? This ...this is just a lifetime disaster!
"Wait here for me, brother. I would go to the manager and tell him I would resign. We will then leave Jingmen Island as soon as possible, ” Yang Fei said in a heavy voice.
Yang Yan nodded wordlessly and watched his brother's back walk into the distance while guilt filled his heart. Their parents died five years ago and since then they have lived and shared the hardships. Although he worked to make ends meet and support his younger brother until he graduated from university, he has never asked for a penny since and often buys his gifts with his salary.
However, he was involved by her this time.
Yang Fei stepped into the entrance of the ship. When he saw Ouyang Yun, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. “I want to resign, General Manager. ”
"And your reason?" Ouyang Yun asked indifferently.
"My female brother has offended someone, so we should leave Jingmen Island immediately," Yang Fei replied with a bitter face.
A surprised expression was thrown onto Ouyang Yun's face and he asked again, “Agoffing to someone? Can you tell me who that person is? ”
Yang Fei also knew the background of the Paradise Club and Ouyang Yun's identity. After thinking deeply for a while, he whispered, “This is Guo Fugui. ”
