The bright sunshine shines on the earth, and the flowers bloom in full bloom, making the villa courtyard beautiful. Holding a book and sitting quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard of the villa, Tang Xiu had no intention of reading it. The sudden news caused him to temporarily give up his plan to go to Thailand.
"Mr. Tang, we can only wait any longer."
With a bit of regret in Xing Lun's eyes, he stood in front of Tang Xiu and said helplessly.
Tang Xiu nodded silently, and then said after a long while: "Since your eldest brother has temporarily gone to Europe, let's talk about it later! You are keeping an eye on him and notify me as soon as you get news of his return to Thailand."
Xinglun said: "Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him. By the way, let's see about our deal..."
Tang Xiu said: "In three days, I will wait for you in Shanghai. As long as you bring the Wusha Stone, I will give you the elixir. Xinglun, although we had some festivals before, those were all things in the past. I hope you don't mind. I hope that in the future we can become friends, not enemies."
Xinglun said solemnly: "Mr. Tang, I understand. Although there is a mutually beneficial relationship between us, I dare not provoke you, and I cannot afford to offend you. Rather than being an enemy of a strong man, it is better to choose to be with a strong man. Be friends. As long as you don’t do anything to harm me in the future, I will never do anything sorry to you throughout my life.”
Tang Xiu said with satisfaction: "Remember your words and go ahead."
Xinglun did not stay any longer and left under Tang Xiu's gaze. Because of a jade rat, he encountered a huge opportunity and he wanted to seize it, so he had to rush back as soon as possible to find out the whereabouts of his elder brother and try to help Tang Xiu get the jade pig.
The zodiac statue may have some good effects on him, but compared with the panacea, the gap is really too big. He wants to get more elixirs, wants to make his strength soar and become a real strong man, and also hopes to use the panacea to cultivate a large number of masters, at least like those of Tang Xiu's subordinates, even if they are Facing the famous Zhang family in Ao Island, they were able to overwhelm and frighten them.
In the courtyard.
Tang Xiu looked at Chen Anhu in the corner who was practicing seriously according to the cultivation methods he taught, and sighed secretly in his heart. In fact, he was able to help Chen Anhu embark on the path of spiritual practice, but the immortal path was difficult, and if he failed, he might lose his soul and be doomed.
now.
Although he taught the cultivation techniques to his parents and more than a dozen core members of the Tang family, he did not have much hope for these people. After all, cultivating immortality is not something that happens overnight. Whether they can achieve great achievements in the future and whether they can ascend to the immortal world depends on him.
"Xiu'er, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Yunde came from outside and unexpectedly found that he had even walked in front of his son, and he didn't even notice him.
Tang Xiu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Dad, I am indeed thinking about something. What? Are you done?"
Tang Yunde laughed dumbly and said: "What do I have to do! I just looked at the financial statements of the company here on Ao Island and learned about the company's recent business. In fact, the busy person is still your Uncle Chen. But what's wrong with him? ? Also want to follow you to practice Taoism?"
Tang Xiu said: "Uncle Chen is not suitable for practicing Taoism, at least not now. I will teach him some exercises to strengthen his body and prolong his life. Let him practice first!"
Tang Yunde smiled and said: "Everyone wants to get immortality, but this road is not so easy to walk. Otherwise, the number of monks in this world would not be so rare. By the way, things on Ao Island, Have you settled everything? What are your plans next? Or are you going to Thailand?"
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "Xing Lun told me that his brother went to Europe. I won't go to Thailand for the time being. I plan to return to the mainland tomorrow to deal with some important matters."
Tang Yunde smiled bitterly and said: "Xiu'er, compared with you, I feel more and more useless. However, you are still young after all, so don't work too hard. You can't make enough money, and your career will never end. Yes, as for cultivation, you should also relax and advance slowly. If you ask me, you should take a good rest for a while, talk about love, and enjoy life. Your mother is looking forward to having grandchildren."
Tang Xiu said: "Dad, I'm only twenty-one years old, so don't worry. While I'm still young, I can be more aggressive and strive harder if I can! My path is destined to be different from others. Now if If you don’t work hard, you will have difficulty in the future.”
Tang Yunde was silent for a while, and then asked seriously: "Xiu'er, can you tell me, what is your ultimate dream? Why are you working so hard?"
Tang Xiu stood up, pointed to the vast sky and said: "The goal of the first stage is to break the shackles above the head and step onto a higher space. As for the future: eagles strike the sky, fish fly in the shallows, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom in the sky. . In the melancholy corridor, I ask, who is in charge of the ups and downs of the vast earth?"
"you… "
Tang Yunde stared at Tang Xiu blankly, opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach. His son's words made him realize that his son's heart was so big that he couldn't even imagine it.
Tang Xiu smiled slightly, glanced at Tang Yunde, and suddenly said: "Dad, I suddenly changed my mind. Since I decided to go back to the mainland first, I won't waste time anymore and will return immediately. By the way, when will you go back?"
Tang Yunde said: "I will stay here for a while and wait until the port issues are resolved before I leave."
Tang Xiu nodded and shouted in a deep voice: "Gu Tao, Zhang Jue, you two will follow my dad for the short term and protect his safety. I will arrange for someone to take over for you when I return."
"yes!"
Gu Tao and Zhang Jue appeared from outside the courtyard gate and respectfully agreed.
at dusk.
Tang Xiu returned to Shanghai and contacted Xueyu immediately. When he learned that she was in Xichang Province, he immediately rushed there with Moawu, Golden Lion, Blood Shark, and Black Bear. By the time we got there, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Chang City, the capital city of Xichang Province, has developed rapidly in recent years and has reached the level of a second-tier city in China. Bayi Square in the center of the city is lined with high-rise buildings and high-end shops. The Changshi Hotel is located near Bayi Square.
"Tang Xiu."
At the hotel entrance, Xueyu was wearing a white dress and watched Tang Xiu get out of the car in front of her. She was very happy, because recently, either she or Tang Xiu had been busy away from home, and the two had not seen each other for a long time.
Tang Xiu smiled slightly, stepped forward to hug her, and asked with a smile: "How are you busy here?"
Xueyu smiled and said: "According to your previous ideas, I think it is very easy to do it. Now, in addition to medicinal materials, the business involved also includes jade and antiques. The scale of the company I registered has also increased rapidly. , the business brings high profits.”
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "It's okay to do business, but don't delay your cultivation. The path we will take in the future is destined to be different from ordinary people."
Xueyu smiled and said, "I know."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Let's go! Let's rest here for one night today, and rush to Kanas Longquan Bay immediately tomorrow morning, and try to open the Immortal Treasure as soon as possible to see what's inside."
Xueyu hesitated and asked, "Can you stay one more day? I still have some things to deal with here. The guests I invited will not arrive in Changshi until tomorrow afternoon."
Tang Xiu was surprised: "Who is it?"
Xueyu said: "There are two people in total, one is a medicine gatherer and the other is a dragon hunter. They are not ordinary people. After I returned to the village, an elder in the clan introduced me. That one The elders said that if I can get help from both of them, I will have a right-hand man in the future."
Tang Xiu said in confusion: "I know the herb collectors, they are the people who go to the mountains to collect herbs for a living, but who is the Xunlong Master? I have never heard of him before."
Xueyu held Tang Xiu's arm and entered the elevator while countless people looked at Tang Xiu with jealous eyes. Then she said: "The dragon-seeking master is actually a type of Feng Shui master, with a special method of finding dragons and tapping acupuncture points. This He is a humanoid who has profound knowledge in Feng Shui and is best at finding mineral deposits. Rumor has it that this dragon hunter has done many sensational things, but I won’t tell you the details. You can also meet him."
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is he good at finding mineral deposits?"
Xueyu said: "Of course, he seems to be a world-famous geologist."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Then stay one more day and let's meet him together tomorrow. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How have you been lately? Are you tired from running around?"
Xueyu smiled and said: "I'm not tired, but I often feel that I don't have enough funds and I can't let go."
Tang Xiu laughed dumbly and said: "If you need money, come to me! Your man needs everything except money. Let's do this! I will transfer one billion to you later. If it is not enough, you can tell me."
"Pfft..."
Following a laugh that couldn't help but laugh, a discordant voice also sounded in the elevator: "I've seen people who can brag, but I've never seen people who can brag to such a high level. One billion? Why don't you say a hundred? Billions!"
Tang Xiu and Xue Yu looked at each other, and both of them looked at the only outsider in the elevator, the young man wearing a suit and tie with a briefcase in his elbow. He was the one who spoke with cynicism just now.
"Brother, what do you call me?"
Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
The young man rolled his eyes, looking too lazy to pay attention to you. However, his eyes swept over Xueyu's snow-white neck and side face, and finally said: "My surname is Wu Mingkun. I should be a few years older than you. You won't suffer any disadvantage if you call me brother."
Tang Xiu laughed dumbly and stopped talking to Wu Kun. When the elevator reached the fourth floor, he was led out of the elevator by Xueyu, walked through a long corridor, and entered a luxurious room.
"Tang Xiu, I know that young man. He is a very persistent salesman. In order to negotiate a big business, he seems to run to this hotel every day and block a boss every day." Xue Yu gently helped Tang Xiu. He took off his coat and said with a smile.
