Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Sect Clan, is currently facing a major headache.
After telling his story, the senior Di Shitian left, looking quite pleased with himself.
Tang Miaoxing was very hesitant at this moment, wondering how to talk to the leaders of the Bashu region.
Would their superiors believe such a story?
"Eh."
With a sigh, Tang Miaoxing made up her mind and mustered her courage.
"Old Tang, what's up? I just finished a meeting, and a plan that's beneficial to your Tang Sect Clan has been approved." The leader from the Bashu region laughed heartily.
"That's great news! Well, I have some good news for you too, but you'd better be prepared."
"Alright, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what surprises you might have in store for me, Lao Tang."
Then, Tang Miaoxing repeated the story that Xiao Tian had told the leaders of Bashu.
"What! Is Di Shitian trying to turn the Evolver World upside down and plunge the world into World War III?!"
Tang Miaoxing's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. A third war—this seemed too much.
"It's not that serious yet. Here's what happened: Senior Di Shitian was very unhappy that some nobodies in the Evolver World were using his name to do bad things and making him take the blame, so he orchestrated this whole thing."
"I understand. This matter is of great importance, located atop Mount Tai. I must report it. Old Tang, thank you so much. Do you still have that senior with you?"
Tang Miaoxing nodded and whispered, "He's here, eating and drinking for free. You know our profits haven't been good these past few years, and this senior has a big appetite—I mean, a huge appetite."
"Understood, Lao Tang, don't worry, I'll contact the God of Wealth right away and have him transfer the money to you! This guy needs to be treated well first; don't offend him."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Miaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had just finished a battle.
Now that the pressure has been shared, how to handle the matter of Senior Di Shitian depends on the situation.
At this moment, Di Shitian, also known as Xiao Tian, was enjoying the food provided by the Tang Sect.
"Senior, you're eating so much! You're going to eat up all of the Tang Sect's ingredients for tomorrow!" Tao Tao stared at Xiao Tian with wide eyes, her heart pounding as she glanced at the stacks of bowls and plates on the table.
"Oh, you little brat, still complaining about being poor to me? Why don't you come with me and start a big business, make more money, and buy more handbags?"
Tao Tao's beautiful eyes lit up with a gleam, but it quickly faded.
"No, I cannot betray the Tang Sect."
"Who told you to betray the Tang Sect? I told you to focus your energy on important matters and make big money with me."
"No, Grandpa Zhang, the sect leaders won't agree. I still have to teach." Tao Tao shook her head.
"Such talent as you is being wasted here. No, call your sect leader over. I need to have a serious talk with him." Xiao Tian sneered.
Tao Tao felt a chill run down her spine. If this senior were to lose his temper, she was afraid that the sect leader would suffer a great loss.
"Haha, senior, did Tao Tao offend you? I apologize on her behalf."
Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Sect Clan, arrived just in time.
"Master, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I didn't do anything to upset Senior Di Shitian," Tao Tao retorted.
" Taozi is right, Little Tang, stop throwing the blame around." Xiao Tian put down his chicken leg, took a sip of Cola, and stared at Tang Miaoxing as he continued, "You've come at just the right time. I've shown Taozi a way to make even more money without betraying your Tang Sect. Are you willing to let it go?"
"How much?" Tang Miaoxing asked instinctively.
"Hmph! At least two million a month." Xiao Tian thought that Sister Ma was rich, so he casually quoted a price.
"Two million a month!" Tao Tao's beautiful eyes lit up. You know, normally when you complete a task, you only get tens of thousands of yuan, and there might not even be a high-paying task in a month. After all, times have changed. It's not like the old days when fighting and killing were commonplace.
These days, those who started as assassins have a really tough life.
"Two million! Senior, you have to tell me clearly, what is Tao Tao going to do?" Tang Miaoxing frowned.
"A few days ago, I met a young man. He was very strong, the strongest I've seen in all these years. We fought for a while, and I really admired him. He treated me to a big meal, took me to do a lot of interesting things, and invited me to join an organization called something like Dragon, saying it would be a government job with a free life."
" Dragon Guard?" Tang Miaoxing frowned.
"Yes, yes, that's what they're called, Dragon Guard."
Tang Miaoxing frowned even more. He knew something about the Dragon Guard, an official organization that was directly commanded and decided by the country's number one and number two leaders. The head of the Dragon Guard was a fire-controlling Evolver named Xiao Yan. It was rumored that Chen Jinkui, one of the Ten Elders, had suffered a setback at the hands of this man and had to recuperate for quite some time.
"Senior, he invited you. Can Tao Tao go in?"
Xiao Tian was secretly delighted. He was the leader of the Dragon Guard, so if he said it was okay, it was okay.
"Of course. I get along pretty well with that guy. We even went on a picnic together recently. I just casually mentioned it, and he definitely agreed, unless he wanted me to chase him down and beat him up."
Tao Tao was amused by Di Shitian's subsequent cheeky remarks.
"What are you laughing at, girl? I'm not bragging, but although that kid is strong, I have a million ways to defeat him." Xiao Tian said with an arrogant and self-important air.
"Senior, let's settle on this then. Tao Tao, since Senior Di Shitian is willing to take you to make big money and share the financial burden for our Tang Sect, you must be sensible. Moreover, joining the Dragon Guard will benefit both yourself and our Tang Sect."
Tang Miaoxing thought of something.
"Senior, what if the Dragon Guard agrees, but only if Tao Tao leaves the Tang Sect?"
"What are you afraid of, you old codger? Even if it's a public break, that girl's heart is still with your Tang Sect, isn't it? She still carries the shadow of your Tang Sect in her." Xiao Tian Xiao.
"Senior is right. I was just worried that Tao Tao might suffer within the Dragon Guard because of her connection to the Tang Sect," Tang Miaoxing said, frowning.
"You're acting like you're worried about your married daughter being mistreated. Don't overthink it, just go get me the wine."
Tang Miaoxing remained silent, nodded, and turned to head towards the Tang Sect's wine cellar.
"Senior, could you tell me about the head of the Dragon Guard? If I really join the Dragon Guard, having some prior knowledge will prevent me from suffering so much." Tao Tao asked.
Xiao Tian chuckled, then took out his phone, turned his back to Tao Tao, and pulled out a selfie.
"Look, girl, this is the young man. He's quite handsome, with the same air of elegance and refinement I had back in the day."
"He is very handsome, but he's so young, is he really that amazing? Could he be like his seniors?" Tao Tao looked closely at Xiao Tian in the photo, her expression surprised.
"Hehe, girl, you're overthinking it. This kid is a true genius. He's not even 30 yet, and his skill with fire is already extraordinary. I reckon he's just a tiny bit away from achieving immortality." Xiao Tian boasted.
"The legendary ascension to immortality? He's that amazing!" Tao Tao was speechless, her mouth agape enough to swallow three eggs.
"I'm not exaggerating at all. It's a pity this kid was born in the wrong era. If it were three or four hundred years earlier, he would definitely have ascended to immortality before the age of thirteen, possessing the appearance of an immortal. Although I have never seen an immortal, perhaps in the future, he can break through the barrier of the Dharma-ending Age." Xiao Tian continued to boast, his eyes full of admiration, his acting natural.
"How about it, girl? Aren't you tempted? This guy's still single, and he's about your age. I'll make the decision and pair you two up. Let's have a genius offspring in advance, just in case we fail to ascend to immortality someday."
Tao Tao was taken aback by this sudden matchmaking move from Senior Di Shitian.
Looking at the photo of Xiao Tian on her phone, and recalling what Di Shitian had said about Xiao Tian's prowess, she suddenly felt a little tempted.
"Is this what liking someone is?"
Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing. Play matchmaker for himself? He really is a genius!
"Seniors, what are you talking about? Why is Tao Tao's face red?"
Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Sect Clan, returned with the wine.
"Hehehe, Little Tang, look at this kid, isn't he a perfect match for Taozi?"
Tang Miaoxing glanced at it and asked, "Senior, is this the head of the Dragon Guard?"
"But you old codger have a sharp eye."
"So young, if she weren't like her seniors, Tao Tao might be considered to be marrying above her station."
Tao Tao couldn't help but pout. "Trying to climb the social ladder? So what if he's a genius!"
"Hahaha, look how unhappy the Taozi is."
Two hours later, after eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Tian gave Tao Tao the way to contact Xiao Yan, the leader of the Dragon Guard, and then disappeared mysteriously and elegantly.
"Senior Di Shitian truly comes and goes without a trace. Sigh, I hope he won't harm the Evolver World or the country." Tang Miaoxing stared blankly at the spot where Di Shitian disappeared.
Using his innate ability: Teleport, Xiao Tian returned to the city where the World Group and took out his phone.
Tao Tao added me on WeChat very quickly.
Friend request accepted!
Tang Sect Tao Tao's WeChat name is very simple: Tao Tao.
Tao Tao sent a cool smile, and then explained that she was introduced by Senior Di Shitian.
" Tang Sect? Oh, I have other matters to attend to. I'll talk to Di Shitian later."
After sending the message, Xiao Tian ignored it completely, putting on a cool and aloof god-like act for Tao Tao.
Xiao Tian returned to World Group, and Zhang Lingyu called him WeChat voice message.
"Will you pick me up from the airport?"
"Wait, then."
After hanging up, Xiao Tian went to look for Feng Zhenghao, but ran into Feng Shayan instead.
"Miss Feng, could you lend me your car? I need to pick someone up from the airport."
Feng Shayan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and offered, "Brother Xiao, let me drive you there."
"Okay, but there must be two empty seats."
"Okay, Brother Xiao, see you at the venue outside the building on the first floor."
Afterwards, Xiao Tian got into a G-Class SUV worth over two million yuan driven by Feng Shayan and headed towards the airport.
At the airport, Xiao Tian saw Zhang Lingyu and immediately went up to give her a hug.
"Hey, Xia He, you look great in that outfit."
Xia He couldn't help but roll her eyes. Xiao Tian actually had the nerve to pick a fight at a time like this.
On the plane, she and Zhang Lingyu were ambushed by Evolver, but fortunately, they managed to resolve the situation.
" Xia He! Zhang Lingyu, one of the Four Madmen of Quanxing!"
Feng Shayan was astonished; the people Lord Xiao received were actually these two.
This solidified her resolve on one idea!
