Chapter 644: Chapter 0644: A Visitor from the Martial Sect

In the following days, all the students were busy preparing for the final exams, even Tang Ming began to study listlessly, mainly because the bet with Mo Hongsheng was too large, and he didn’t want to cause Chen Cang to lose everything due to carelessness.

Three days before the final exams, in the hall of the Hu Family villa, Hu Zheng stood in front of the sofa with his son Hu Wei, who was now fully recovered, looking gratefully at the two middle-aged men sitting on the couch.

One, with speckled white hair and dressed in a gray training suit, his face chiseled, was the Martial Sect’s Sect Master Yang Bupo. The other, with long silver-white hair and slight wrinkles on his face, an older man in white robes, was the Deputy Sect Master of the Martial Sect, Yin Yongjian.

"It seems the Bone Regeneration Pill has worked well; it’s only been a few days, and Hu Wei’s injuries have all been healed."

Yang Bupo held his teacup and smilingly examined Hu Wei.

"This is all thanks to the Sect Master’s generous gift of the elixir, otherwise, my son would never have been able to stand again."

Hu Zheng bowed deeply, continuously expressing his gratitude.

"I am eternally grateful for the Sect Master’s grace of rebirth; from now on, for the sect, even if I’m shattered to pieces, I will not frown," Hu Wei pledged his loyalty with solemn assurance, originally thinking that he would be disabled for life, but the elixir brought by the sect worked miracles, giving him the chance to stand again.

"As long as you serve the sect well, the Martial Sect will never treat you unfairly."

Yang Bupo said with a light smile, squinting his eyes, "According to the investigation of Tang Ming’s influence in Songlan City these past few days, it is indeed considerable, especially the Tangming Group, which is a well-known pharmaceutical enterprise. If we can truly control it, it will definitely create substantial benefits for the sect."

"Yes, yes, Tangming Group is a company founded with the combined forces of the Martial Arts Families of the Ma Family, the Zhou Family, and the commercial Li Family, as well as the Poison Sect. If we can control Tangming Group, it would mean controlling the entire market of Songlan City, which would be far more profitable than our Hu Family’s control over just the martial arts fitness industry," Hu Zheng nodded vigorously, having been constantly analyzing and introducing the Poison Sect’s current influence in Songlan City to Yang Bupo these past few days.

Of course, much of Hu Zheng’s analysis and introductions attributed Tang Ming’s achievements directly to the Poison Sect, making Yang Bupo realize that the Poison Sect might have already surpassed the Martial Sect, at least in terms of urban power.

"Based on the information you provided, this Tang Ming should be more than just a spokesperson for the Poison Sect, otherwise, Xin Badao and Chu Batian wouldn’t personally protect a subordinate."

Just at this moment, Yin Yongjian, who had been browsing through the documents, suddenly spoke up, "Are you sure you haven’t discovered any other identities of Tang Ming?"

"This... According to our investigations on multiple fronts, we haven’t uncovered any special identities of Tang Ming?"

Hu Zheng hesitated for a moment, responding uncertainly, "Or maybe he has other identities, but he has kept them well hidden, and we haven’t discovered them yet."

"That’s very possible."

Yang Bupo nodded, squinting his eyes and saying, "If he’s truly a subordinate of the Poison Sect, after his cultivation was crippled, the Poison Sect could have easily supported a new person instead of having the Sect Master and the Great Elder come personally to protect such a cripple."

"So what should we do now?" Hu Zheng asked, frowning and looking anxiously at Yang Bupo and Yin Yongjian.

"Why not go deal with Xia Wei’er first?"

Unable to hold back, Hu Wei made a suggestion — he had been crippled when he attempted to force himself onto Xia Wei’er. Now that the sect had sent two powerful individuals, it was a good opportunity for revenge.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Hu Zheng glared fiercely at Hu Wei and scolded, "In front of the two Sect Masters, you’re still preoccupied with affairs of men and women, too lacking in ambition."

"I, I realize my mistake," Hu Wei said with a shrunken head, hastily bowing in admission of his fault.

"No, no, no, I think Hu Wei’s suggestion is very constructive this time."

Yang Bupo waved his hand and chuckled as he looked at Hu Wei, "You are a member of our Martial Sect, and any woman you take a liking to should feel honored. Now, this woman doesn’t know what’s good for her and even caused you to get hurt. If we don’t teach her a lesson, wouldn’t our Martial Sect seem very faceless?"

"Ah, really? Can I?"

Hu Wei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. If both Sect Masters supported him in pursuing Xia Wei’er, who in Songlan City could stop him?

"Sect Master, isn’t this inappropriate? The major affairs of the Sect are of great importance; how can we trouble you to take action over such a private matter for my son?"

Hu Zheng awkwardly looked at Yang Bupo, wondering in his heart. The Sect Master was not usually this easy to talk to, so why was he so protective of Hu Wei this time?

"Do you really think we’re going to deal with that Xia Wei’er just to give your son a thrill?"

Yin Yongjian looked peculiarly at Hu Zheng and explained, "Given the current situation, we don’t know what Tang Ming’s true identity is, so we cannot rashly move against him. Moreover, with Xin Badao’s whereabouts unknown, only Chu Batian, who is protecting that Xia Wei’er, remains a clear target for us."

"Ah? Does the Deputy Sect Master mean we’re going after Chu Batian?"

Hu Zheng suddenly realized it was all a ploy; helping Hu Wei with Xia Wei’er was just taking advantage of the situation.

"Correct! Chu Batian is a Five-star Martial Master from the Poison Sect. If we eliminate him, it would mean weakening half of the Poison Sect’s strength,"

Yang Bupo squinted his eyes and coldly said, "Moreover, according to the information, this Xia Wei’er must have a significant connection with Tang Ming. Otherwise, Tang Ming wouldn’t have Chu Batian secretly protect her. As long as we can capture this woman, we will also have a bargaining chip to coerce Tang Ming. No matter what his background is then, he’ll have to obediently follow our orders."

"So that’s how it is; the foresight of the two Sect Masters is admirable. This subordinate is impressed!"

Hu Zheng suddenly understood and looked up at the two men with a face full of admiration.

"It’s settled then. After school today, we’ll go and settle the account with Chu Batian."

Yang Potian enjoyed Hu Zheng’s flattery and grinned at Hu Wei, "At that time, the two of us will deal with Chu Batian; you, as a Half-step Martial Master, should be able to handle that Xia Wei’er, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as the two of you can hold off Chu Batian, I’ll definitely be able to abduct Xia Wei’er,"

Hu Wei nodded repeatedly, confident that as a formidable Half-step Martial Master, handling a young girl should be effortless.

Once the matter was settled, the four of them discussed the specifics of timing and details for the action. Engaging Chu Batian in battle would undoubtedly cause a ruckus; they had to avoid alarming too many people, lest complications arise.

That evening, in the same alley where Xia Wei’er had been attacked before, she hummed a song on her way home, now unafraid of encountering any danger knowing that Chu Batian was secretly protecting her.
