Jingmen Island, in the presidential suite on the top floor of Galvez Hotel.
The moment Tang Xiu hung up the phone, the middle-aged man standing by the window dropped the phone to the ground with a bang, and his face turned extremely pale.
The next moment, the middle-aged man turned around and slapped the young man next to him hard.
The poor young man was looking at the middle-aged man expectantly. He was not at all wary of the middle-aged man getting angry, and was knocked to the ground with a slap from the middle-aged man.
"Elder brother... you... why did you hit me?" Zhang Tiechun looked at Gong Dalong in confusion, his face full of confusion.
You must know that Jia Ruidao only had three apprentices in his life, namely the eldest apprentice Gong Dalong, the second apprentice Zhang Tiechun, and the third apprentice Jia Yelei.
Among them, Jia Yelei is Jia Ruidao's son and a closed disciple of Jia Ruidao.
The three senior brothers have a very good relationship. They support each other in their careers and take care of each other in their daily lives. They are no different from real brothers. It is a good story in Shuangqing Province.
The only fly in the ointment is that Jia Yelei loves vanity and has an extremely impulsive personality, so Gong Dalong and Zhang Tiechun often wipe his butt, and sometimes Jia Ruidao also has to wipe his butt.
This time, the reason why Jia Ruidao had to rush to Jingmen was because Jia Yelei lost in gambling, and he lost miserably. After losing his mind, he actually showed his father's sign, and then Caused big trouble.
Jia Ruidao's signboard only works in Shuangqing Province, not anywhere in the country. What's more, in an extremely xenophobic place like Jingmen Island, when Jia Yelei showed off his father's sign, instead of intimidating the opponent, it actually made him He suffered even more humiliating treatment.
In just three days, the impetuous Jia Yelei lost 100 million due to the opponent's aggressive tactics. When Jia Yelei finally realized that something was wrong, he had to call his second senior brother Zhang Tiechun.
Zhang Tiechun's gambling skills were truly inherited from Jia Ruidao, and he doted on Jia Yelei very much. After he arrived at Jingmen Island, he did not criticize Jia Yelei, but was influenced by Jia Yelei and jumped into a game carefully arranged by the other party. Game, and then lost 50 million again.
"Why did I hit you, and you are still asking me why I beat you? When my wife was dying, she left the younger brother to our care. It's good for you. The younger brother went to Jingmen Island to gamble for half a month, but you didn't You didn't ask, and you didn't know anything at all. You finally received a call for help from my junior brother, but instead of telling Master and me immediately, you followed my junior brother and made a fool of yourself."
"Zhang Tiechun, do you know what situation we will face if Master is in trouble this time? Not only will our master and disciples lose their fortune, but our reputation in Shuangqing Province will also be ruined. With Master's character , do you think he can still survive after encountering such a thing?"
Gong Dalong almost roared and shouted at Zhang Tiechun.
"Tang Xiu... Tang Xiu, isn't he willing to help us?" Zhang Tiechun stopped arguing and asked in confusion.
"I don't know if Tang Xiu really has poor gambling skills, or if he knew that the water was too deep. He admitted on the other end of the phone that his gambling skills were too poor to help. He hung up the phone without giving me a chance to speak. "Gong Dalong's face turned gloomy upon hearing this, and he sighed helplessly.
"This... this... How could Tang Xiu do this... This matter will cause both harm and prosperity. Now it is not just about the face of our masters and disciples, but the face of the entire Shuangqing Province. He is too There is no longer any perspective on the overall situation." Zhang Tiechun said with a livid face.
"Master has made it very clear to us that Tang Xiu is not a member of the casino, but a person outside the circle." Gong Dalong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Let's think of other ways for the time being. Tang Xiu can only be moved by emotion. , slowly grind it out with reason."
After Tang Xiu hung up Gong Dalong's call, he tidied up the villa and Shi Shiran returned to school.
Tang Xiu asked for leave this time mainly to complete the body tempering in the Qi training stage. Since the body tempering has been completed, there is no need for Tang Xiu to stay outside.
In his previous life, Tang Xiu was completely obsessed with cultivation and the art of alchemy, talismans, and weapon refining. He was almost deaf to the outside world and completely ignorant of the world. As a result, he was betrayed by his lover and confidant at the last moment.
Now that he has the perfect peerless magical skill of Ten Thousand Sources of Virtual Universe in this life, and the ten thousand years of cultivation experience and knowledge from his previous life as an aid, Tang Xiu is not worried about the slow improvement of his strength at all, so he wants to spend more time And energy is used to understand the world and hone the state of mind.
When Tang Xiu entered the classroom, he found that the classmates looked at him with strange eyes, and some unpleasant words floated into his ears.
"He won first place in the monthly exam by cheating. He really regards himself as number one. If he has the ability, he can continue to take first place in the monthly exam this time."
"If you really get first place, it won't be that big of a mark. Yang Jian from Class 5 has been first in the monthly exams for several months. He doesn't study seriously every day."
"Tang Xiu probably saw that graduation was approaching, so he couldn't help but go crazy so that everyone could remember him better. How could he really get first place with his IQ?"
…
When Tang Xiu suddenly heard these words, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
But after thinking about it for a moment, Tang Xiu felt relieved.
After all, I have been "degenerate" for such a long time, and my grades have always been at the bottom. Suddenly I got the first place in my grade. Even if others don't doubt me, it is good. How can I like and respect myself
Perhaps the moment the results first come out, it can cause a sensation and shock some people, but as time goes by, the sensational effect caused when the results first come out will slowly disappear and be replaced by the provocations and rumors of some well-intentioned people. It's jealousy and resentment, even slander.
"Boss, don't pay attention to them. They are so idle that they will die if they don't chew their tongues for a day." Seeing Tang Xiu come back, Yuan Chuling couldn't help but be overjoyed. After exchanging pleasantries, he found that Tang Xiu's expression was a little abnormal. Then he understood what was going on and comforted him in a low voice.
"It's okay. We'll slap them in the face with our grades later." Tang Xiu nodded, then opened the desk and prepared to take out the books and read them.
The moment he opened the desk, Tang Xiu was stunned. He found that he had not been to school for only ten days, and the desk was already full, and it was full of test papers.
"Boss, I admire your wise decision so much. You ran outside to be happy without having to face the torture of endless test papers... Hey, boss, why do I feel that you have become whiter and taller? You can't run away. Are you going for plastic surgery?" As Yuan Chuling was talking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then exclaimed in shock.
Yuan Chuling's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the classroom, and then everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Xiu.
Hearing Yuan Chuling's words, Tang Xiu couldn't help but groan, and his expression also changed.
Although after the tempering, Tang Xiu found that his height had jumped up a bit, but after making a few phone calls, Tang Xiu was thinking about things in his mind and forgot about the huge change in his height.
Just when Tang Xiu was about to explain a few words aloud, the words that came to his ears made him stunned.
"Fat man, you will die if you don't brag. Tang Xiu still owes his tuition fees. How can he have money for plastic surgery?"
"If plastic surgery could change my height, I would also go for plastic surgery."
"Fat man already knows how to attract everyone's attention by shouting and yelling, so don't pay attention to this guy."
…
Although Tang Xiu's height has changed, because he has only been in Class 10 for more than a month in total, and he spent most of the time sitting in his seat without moving much, without interacting with his classmates, this resulted in His presence in the class is very weak.
If it weren't for Su Xiangfei's deliberate instigation, the students in Class 10 wouldn't care about Tang Xiu at all, let alone his height and skin color.
Tang Xiu thought that the change in his height would cause a sensation and suspicion, but the fact made his heart drop.
Everyone just rolled their eyes at Yuan Chuling, mocked Yuan Chuling for a few words, and then went about their own business and ignored Yuan Chuling.
"Did I really see it wrong?" Yuan Chuling looked at Tang Xiu with confusion, and couldn't help muttering softly, "My eyes have always been very poisonous. There is no reason to make a mistake. Could it be that I did something recently?" Are you confused about the test paper?"
Hearing Yuan Chuling's muttering, Tang Xiu was completely relieved.
In the entire Star City No. 1 Middle School, Yuan Chuling is the person closest to him. If even Yuan Chuling is not sure whether there have been huge changes in him, then others will be even less sure.
As for his family, Tang Xiu wasn't worried at all.
When you are seventeen or eighteen years old, your body is growing rapidly. You go home once a month, and your mother may not pay attention to your height every time. Suddenly she sees that your height has jumped up, and your mother may be shocked. You may be surprised, but you will never be doubtful or afraid.
After chatting with Tang Xiu for a while, Yuan Chuling began to read and review.
Maybe Yuan Chuling has completely let go of his knot, or maybe after a change of environment, Yuan Chuling's mentality has also changed.
Tang Xiu could see that Yuan Chuling was no longer laughing and playing like before, but was studying very hard.
After glancing at the test papers on the desk, Tang Xiu crumpled them all into a ball and threw them into the trash can. Tang Xiu didn't want to waste his precious time on boring exercises and test papers.
"Wealthy couples love each other, and wealth comes first. The next thing I should do most is to find a safe way to make money, not to take the college entrance examination."
The four words "Dharma", "Couple", "Wealth" and "Earth" are important in cultivation.
With the Ten Thousand Origins Void Universe Heaven-Bearing Technique, Tang Xiu didn’t have to worry about the method of cultivation. The earth was most likely a Dharma-ending world, and there were no other cultivators except himself. Tang Xiu also never thought about finding fellow practitioners or fellow Taoists. As for the training place, the construction of the Tiangong above Zhaishanping has already started, so Tang Xiu doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.
Only for money, Tang Xiu had to pay attention.
