Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1145: Secret Meeting
After reporting what had happened in Shanghai in a low voice, Xue Zengmei finally concluded. "I don't know what Tang Xiu had in mind. But he asked me to go back first, telling you to find a secret place. He also wants this meeting to be kept secret and no one else but you and I should know about this meeting. "
Xue Guanzhong was silent for a long time. He then slowly said, “Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, we will never be able to avoid it. The Tang House of Beijing had a power that Xue could not match. It's really very easy if he wants to eliminate our family. I felt that he had another goal in mind. ”
"Then, what should we do, Dad?" Ask Xue Zengmei.
"He was looking for me for some secret matter, so we really couldn't let anyone learn it," Xue Guanzhong said. "Therefore, you should call and tell him that I will be waiting for him at Mid-lake Pavilion."
However, Xue Zengmei's expression changed slightly and she replied in a whisper, "But the Mid-lake Pavilion is our secret headquarters, Father. Those who keep the place are the trusted people you have developed since childhood. As soon as Tang Xiu found out, then … "
Xue Guanzhong raised her hand to disturb him and weakly said, "Our family can be said to be a prominent existence with many assets and rank within the top three families in Dongshan Province. But it's all the more reason that we have so many eyes greedily staring at us. Furthermore, Tang Xiu's identity was also extraordinary, many of them would have known that he was here if he had come openly. Therefore I can only feel comfortable if we use the Mid-lake Pavilion. ”
"I'll hurry to Mid-lake Pavilion, then." Xue Zengmei gritted her teeth. "I'll tell everyone there to evacuate a temporary place."
Xue Guanzhong nodded and slowly said, "As I said, be it a blessing or a curse, we cannot avoid disaster. I'll be there early in the morning. ”
When morning arrived and the first sunlight shone on the glittering lake in the eastern outskirts of Ji City, Xue Guanzhong drove herself to the dirt road ahead and disappeared into the dense forest. The lake is quite large with an island in the middle of it inhabited by an antique building. The building looked dilapidated from the outside and the two long bridges leading to it were also damaged.
Xue Guanzhong parked the car in the dense forest. He got down and picked up a black bag to take out the wetsuits from inside and quickly changed. He then scanned the surroundings and found nothing suspicious as he headed to the edge of the lake and gradually disappeared into the lake water.
Half an hour later, he appeared in a broken antique building in the middle of the lake. As he quickly took off his wetsuit, Xue Zengmei approached him with a clean set of clothes.
"I've already contacted Tang Xiu, Father. He should arrive here soon, ” Xue Zengmei said.
Xue Guanzhong nodded without a word and changed into clothes. After dressing up neatly, they then headed to a clean, old-fashioned room decorated with classic flavors. He sat on the mahogany chair and slowly said, “Zengmei, go outside and wait for him. Also, prepare some sets of wetsuits. You have to bring him here if he's not good in the water. "
"Good!"
Xue Zengmei nodded in response. As he was about to leave after putting on his wetsuit, a voice suddenly entered his ears: "There's no need for that."
A moment after, two figures quietly appeared on the door of the room. Tang Xiu and Jin Shi walked into the room and there was no trace of water on their bodies. He then looked at Xue Guanzhong, who got up and smiled. "Patriarch Xue, I'm Tang Xiu."
Yang then looked puzzled and observed Tang Xiu a few times before asking, "How did you come here this way?"
"I just flew," Tang Xiu replied smiling.
His answer made Xue Guanzhong slightly furrow her brows. "Please don't deceive me, Young Master Tang. This place was in the middle of the lake, and the two bridges leading here had been damaged as well. It was at least tens of meters away from the beach, it was very difficult to come here without a wetsuit. ”
Tang Xiu's brows lifted up and his vision shifted to the table of the eight ancient people on the other side. His fingers made several movements as a violent force suddenly shattered the table, turning it into scattered wood ashes. Immediately after, his energy instantly gathered the scattering ashes into a ball and a basketball-sized greyish blob floated in front of the few people inside.
"It's…"
Xue Guanzhong stepped back before sitting down in her chair. His square face was now without any color as if he was seeing a ghost. Xue Zengmei was no exception as fear covered her entire face.
Tang Xiu slightly smiled and walked into the air little by little until he came before Xue Guanzhong with his feet one meter above the floor. With such an attitude, he stood in front of Xue Guanzhong and asked with a strange expression, "Do you believe now that we are flying here?"
Swig…
Xue Guanzhong desperately gulped. Nevertheless, after all, he was an experienced Head of the family. He was able to calm himself down gradually after a brief horror and panic. He then nodded and said, "I believe you now."
Xue Guanzhong got up and personally served a pot of tea to Tang Xiu. After presenting one cup to Tang Xiu respectfully, he sat back down in his chair and nodded saying, This “Xue indeed feels confused and wonders about that. If you can, please get rid of my doubts, Mr. Tang. ”
"If anything, you should thank your daughter. I wouldn't have any intention of finding you if it wasn't for him, " Tang Xiu explained. “After all, there are other rich families in Dongshan Province that are much stronger than your family. The purpose of my visit today is to give your family, father and daughter a chance. It is up to you whether to accept it or not. ”
Realizing that Tang Xiu was about to reveal his intentions, Xue Guanzhong immediately asked, "Please do further details, Young Master Tang."
"I want to create an intelligence network that will cover China as a whole, so I want you to be the leader of the team in charge of Dongshan Province," Tang Xiu explained. "So you could say, as long as you accept it, you'll be one of the intel agents I'm personally assigned to in this intel network in the future."
“What do you want to do?” Ask Xue Guanzhong.
"You weren't qualified to learn it until now," Tang Xiu said indifferently. "All you need to know is that you must carry out and complete your task once you accept my offer."
Xue Guanzhong smiled bitterly and said, "But Young Master Tang, the country won't allow it …"
"Special Ability Bureau Director, Duanmu Lin, will turn a blind eye as long as he does not catch my intel agent. Besides, the intel caught is just garbage. Losing such agents is not worth regretting. ”
Xue Guanzhong was shocked inwardly. He did not expect Tang Xiu to have such strength even to make the frightening figure of the Special Ability Bureau to turn a blind eye.
"Do I still have the right to refuse, Young Master Tang, by any chance?"
"Testing me by rejecting my offer, you are truly a smart person," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “Of course, I won't let you work in vain. I've told you that I'm giving you, father and daughter, as well as your whole family, a great opportunity. You will be one of my people as long as you become the team leader in Dongshan Province. "
Xue Guanzhong thought for half a minute and then nodded. "I accept."
"As people say, the wise man knows how to act according to circumstances." Tang Xiu praised as he lifted his thumb. "But then, don't you want to know what kind of alimony you and your child will receive?"
"Young Master .. Boss Tang, you've given us, father and daughter, a chance already. What you give us is and will be our chance, ” Xue Guanzhong said very seriously. "To be able to work for you is our honor."
"It really deserves to be Chief Xue. You can understand the situation and immediately decide on your position when there is no room for maneuver left. "Tang Xiu smiled, replied," I'm sure you've clearly seen my abilities, so let me tell you something. I'm a cultivator, and my strength is beyond your imagination. The two of you have chosen to work for me, so I will teach you the art of cultivation. This cultivation art might be just the basis that allows you to reach a very low cultivation level, up to the late stage of the Qi Refining Stage, the, however it can still make the both of you become experts who can easily take down those at the martial arts grandmaster level. "
Xue Guanzhong and Xue Zengmei exchanged glances and their eyes shone.
“As long as you perform well in the future, the following content of this cultivation art can be your reward as well. You can earn up to Foundation Foundation, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul. In short, it depends on your ability to gather information in Dongshan Province. But if you can't achieve it, or your identity is revealed, you can expect to be replaced and even your entire family wiped out. ”
As always, opportunities coexist with crises.
Xue Guanzhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm sure we can achieve it well, Boss. If we fail to do so, or if we are exposed, you can do as you see fit. "
Tang Xiu nodded in response and pointed to Jin Shi. “The name is Jin Shi. He's in charge of intel networks across China, which means he'll be your direct superior. You will help him deal with some issues related to putting down the intel network in Dongshan Province. However, he will also choose the vice leader, even though you do not have the qualifications to know who that person is. These two positions will have separate communication lines and exist side by side. ”
Xue Guanzhong's expression changed slightly, but she still nodded and said, “I understand. Competition is needed, and I can also do my best with that kind of pressure. "
After which, Tang Xiu took out the cultivation art manual he had written earlier from the interspatial ring. After handing it to Xue Guanzhong, he threw a bottle of pills at the person and explained, "You can learn the aspects of cultivation yourself, you can, and there were also six Essence Amassing Pills whose effects had been greatly reduced by 90%. Take one pill every three days after you familiarize yourself with this cultivation art and start practicing. You should be able to sense the True Essence energy in your system after taking three pills. "
"Thank you for your gift, Boss," Xue Guanzhong and Xue Zengmei said at the same time.
Tang Xiu then shifted to Jin Shi and coldly said, "I gave you half a day to discuss everything about the situation and preparations to build an intel network in Dongshan Province with them. I'll go ahead and wait for you in He Province. "
