Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 482: Reasons to Be Surprised
A common saying goes that friendship is like a clear spring so only the heart of those involved can nurture and moisturize it to grow on their journey.
Although the friendship between Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling was not very deep, it was in line with the principle that "one would act kindly towards another who treated him in the same way". What Yuan Chuling had done and shown gave her a place in Tang Xiu's heart, then Tang Xiu kept her company for over two hours before leaving.
After returning to the Bluestar Villa Complex and yet having the chance to moisten his throat with tea, Tang Xiu received a phone call from someone who had almost forgotten. It was also an international call.
"Who am I talking to?" Tang Xiu asked calmly as he stood in front of the room window.
A silvery shrill voice replied from the phone, "It's me, Boss. Yamamoto Kuwako's. ”
Tang Xiu dazed for a moment before he immediately summoned the young lady from the House of Yamamoto of Japan. He is also the future master of Northstar One Blade School, a ninja master who has been under his Soul Master Spell.
"Something's happened?"
"It's an urgent matter, Boss," Kuwako Yamamoto said respectfully. “I just got an order from the patriarch of my clan, my father, to lead a team to China to steal some information from a company called Magnificent Tang Corporation in Star City. I've known you from there, so I'm telling you about this. ”
With a change of expression, Tang Xiu's eyes were filled with coldness as he slowly said, "I am the owner of the company. Gods Nectar, Skin Care Lotion, and Scar Removal Cream are three products that I researched and developed myself. Do you think I'll let your Yamamoto Clan get it? "
"I'm really sorry, Boss," Kuwako Yamamoto said hurriedly. "I didn't know you were the owner of Magnificent Tang Corp., nor did I know that all three products were developed by you. But about my father's orders … "
Thinking quickly, Tang Xiu pondered for a while, before he slowly replied, "You can bring your people. But just wait for my news after you settle in Star City. I am in Shanghai until now, and will return to Star City in two days. We'll talk about it again when the time comes. By the way, how did you progress after returning to your homeland? ”
Kuwako Yamamoto said, “The Soul Ruler spell you gave me is truly mysterious and amazing, Boss. I secretly took control of the top third of my clan. Although on the surface they seem to distance themselves from me, they are completely controlled by me. Also, there are also some Elders in the Northstar One Sword School whom I managed to under my control using the Soul Ruling Spell; whereas a number of elite ninjas are also under my full control. In three years at most, I was able to fully control all rights and privileges at Yamamoto House and Northstar One Blade School. ”
Tang Xiu said with satisfaction, “So. Then I will send a list of cultivation resources containing a list of some medicinal herbs and minerals. Use your powers in Japan to search for them. If you can bring along a large amount of these items, I'll give you some medicinal pills to help and speed up your cultivation progress. ”
“Pil medicine? Whatisit? "Ask Kuwako Yamamoto.
"You don't need to know. You just need to find the herbs and minerals in the list that I will send to you. If you can make complacency, the medicinal pill I will give you Yoiu can make your cultivation progress faster; perhaps several times faster, "tang Xiu lightly said.
A few times faster?
Pumped up with excitement, Kuwako Yamamoto hurriedly said, "I will try to delay the mission to China for as long as possible, Boss. I'll try my best to find the medicinal herbs and minerals you need. ”
"All right!" Tang Xiu then hung up the phone.
In order to re-enter the immortal realms in the Eternal World, as well as recover his cultivation to the peak, Tang Xiu would need a large amount of cultivation resources. Only by using these cultivation resources could he increase his strength, and finally realize his ultimate goal of revenge.
Japan was a very special country, and although Tang Xiu was quite aware of the situation there, he believed that this country should have medicinal herbs and ores that he could use. Not to mention Kuwako Yamamoto could be said to be an eagle or a dog that he was training, so he became his henchman and would benefit him in the future.

Beijing, in the ancestral home of the Tang Family …
Liu Changxi was alone and carrying a basket of fruits as she stood waiting outside the courtyard, an armed soldier standing upright at the gate coldly staring at her.
"Secretary Liu, Senior Tang is in the backyard garden. Once you enter, someone will take you to see it. "Another armed soldier walked out of the front yard talking to him in a deep voice.
Nodding in response, Liu Changxi entered the courtyard with large strides. After passing through the first front gate, a pond appeared in front of him. There is a small round door on the left side of the pond, while the colorful flower pieces give a feast to the eyes. Several bird cages were hung on the green branches and beautiful chirping songs were heard from there.
In the middle of the park, Tang Guosheng and Tang Guoshou were playing chess, moving black and white pieces inside an antique-style gazebo. Right now, the chess pieces would cover the entire chessboard. There was an antique incense burner made of bronze beside them, where faint blue smoke curled up, and a faint smell of smoke enveloped and covered this small part of the world.
After Liu Changxi arrived, she quietly stood outside the gazebo and did not disturb the two. He had just handed the basket to the housekeeper who had come with him.
"Under the rock!" [1]
Tang Guosheng shook his head, yet his face was very calm. His eyes then moved from the chessboard to Liu Changxi and waved at him.
"Senior Tang!" Liu Changxi respectfully called out to the two men.
"Liu Little, how do you remember to look at this old man today?" Tang Guosheng said with a smile.
“I actually plan to arrive early. It's just that official business always keeps me busy outside. I can squeeze time and rush here from Shanghai. Were those two seniors alright all this time? ”Liu Changxi said with a smile.
From Shanghai?
The incident with the extremists in Shanghai had entered Tang Guosheng's ears, and his eyes instantly narrowed. Although Liu Changxi had yet to say anything, she could vaguely guess that it might be related to her precious granddaughter.
“Kiddo, what is in your mind and heart can be compared to the stars in the sky. Get out with it! What is your purpose coming? "
After having his mind opened like that, Liu Changxi smiled shyly and solemnly said, "Senior Tang, the purpose of my visit this time is mainly for Tang Xiu. You are his grandfather, and I believe he should listen to you. ”
As expected!
Tang Guosheng sighed inwardly. The smile on his face was stifled as he said, "Continue. ”
Liu Changxi said, "Senior Tang, I'm sure you have received news from Shanghai. It was fortunate that Tang Xiu was there at that time so we were able to avoid the tragedy. If not for him, Zhang Xinya's concert would have turned into a world tragedy with tens of thousands of casualties. Incidents at Shanghai Airport were also avoidable, and the losses were reduced to the lowest level. As for me, I have asked for a higher authority so that Tang Xiu can be rewarded for his services in a few days.
“I came to see you this time because I want him to join our Security Department. With him joining us, it will definitely be a plus for us, so that we can play a bigger and better role in maintaining the peace and security of our country.
“I myself have invited him personally several times, but he rejected me for academic reasons. Therefore, if you can persuade him, let him join our security department. You can be sure. Although I cannot give him too many privileges granted to me, I can guarantee that I will provide you with the best possible care. I can even guarantee my position later as long as he does a good job. ”
Squinting his eyes at Liu Changxi, a smile appeared on Tang Guosheng's face. That smile was even brighter than before. However, when she recalled her grandson's character, she could not describe his feelings in any other language except to force a wry smile.
“Liu is small, even though Xiuer became my biological grandson, he lived outside alone for many years, and we just found him in the last few months. As an adult himself, he had his own ideas and ways of thinking; thus, even I myself was not suited to interfere with his decision even though I was his own grandfather. I have learned about this and I will talk to him. But as for the result, I can't give you any guarantees. ”
Liu Changxi stared blankly, “Senior Tang, can't you make a decision for her? It's…"
"If he is just a normal child, I can naturally help him make a decision," Tang Guosheng said with a smile. "But for him to make you look for me, do you think he's an ordinary kid?"
"What you said is true, Senior," Liu Changxi said with a forced smile.
"Are you going to stay and have dinner with us?" Ask Tang Guosheng.
"No, I can't. I have to return to my unit, ” Liu Changxi said quickly. "If anything, there are some things that remain unsolved, and Tang Xiu did not want to tell me honestly. Hence, I can only check it personally. ”
"What's wrong?" Tang Guosheng asked with raised eyebrows.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Changxi solemnly said, "This is actually the purpose of me coming here. From our surveillance footage, people suspected of being members of extremist groups have been taken by some mysterious people. In addition, we have also investigated the location of the crime as well as all traffic surveillance videos within five kilometers of the Shanghai New World Center. We also have surveillance videos of commercial buildings, residences, and shops nearby, but these mysterious and suspicious people only make us dizzy; he said; their reverse detection and tracking capabilities are better than ours. None of the hundreds of surveillance videos caught him. ”
"What?"
Tang Guosheng and Tang Guoshou looked shocked and astonished. They used to be people of great power and privilege, and were naturally aware of some method of investigation. This news is hard to believe for them. Hundreds of areas were monitored by surveillance cameras, yet they were unable to catch these mysterious people? They ... wouldn't they be so hard to deal with?
Tang Guosheng took a deep breath and said in a deep and heavy voice, "You mean Xiuer knows the identity of these people?"
Liu Changxi nodded, “I suspect Tang Xiu knows about them, and might even know who they are. That's because no one else knows the appearance of the extremists other than the people from our security department and the police. ”
Countless thoughts swirled within Tang Guosheng's mind. He remembered the incident where Tang Xiu was playing with the Yao Family in the South. When she recalled the mysterious experts that Tang Xiu had drawn back then, she suddenly realized that she had little knowledge of her own granddaughter. However, facing Liu Changxi, whose identity was quite special, he naturally would not speak what was in his mind.
