Chapter 789: Chapter 0789: Qi Family’s Older Female Cousin Depends on Kao Mountain

"Tang Ming, you can fool others about Tang Xin’s issues, but you can’t fool me, because I am your employer after all. So, you have already recovered your cultivation, and you have just been playing possum all this time."

Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming with a smug expression.

"Stop it."

Tang Ming waved his hand to interrupt Su Xiaoxi and glanced around helplessly, asking, "Just tell me, what do you want? I admit defeat."

This woman is an untouchable creature, he thought. Initially, he had made that promise to her because he believed his cultivation couldn’t be recovered, not foreseeing that it would become a trap that ensnared him, a true pit that he had dug for himself.

Seeing Tang Ming’s reaction, Su Xiaoxi felt a surge of triumph.

After recalculating last night, she realized that her private savings were nowhere near enough to hire Tang Ming again. To get Tang Ming’s help, she racked her brains for a solution and finally came up with this agreement, which sure enough caught the always honest and trustworthy Tang Ming.

"Actually, it’s quite simple. My grandfather wants to hold an engagement party for us. You just need to find some time to attend, and that’s all."

Only after pinning down Tang Ming did Su Xiaoxi reveal her purpose for this time.

"Is it really that simple?"

Tang Ming asked languidly.

"It’s that simple, and I’ve already asked my grandfather to keep things simple in your name, so it won’t be too much trouble. You shouldn’t have a problem with that, right?" Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming with a cheerful smile.

"With things as they are... do I have the right to object?"

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi speechlessly and said through gritted teeth, "But I can’t just help for nothing; you’re paying for the meal, got a problem with that?"

"No problem at all, you can order whatever you want,"

Su Xiaoxi nodded nonchalantly. How much could a meal cost compared to paying Tang Ming for his services?

"Waiter..."

Tang Ming immediately perked up and began to order dishes like a madman.

The meal lasted until noon, and when Su Xiaoxi went to settle the bill, her whole face turned green—150,000.

In just one morning, Tang Ming had devoured a staggering 150,000 yuan’s worth of food, his stomach seemed like an endless pit.

In theory, 150,000 yuan wasn’t much for Su Xiaoxi, but she had been tricked by Tang Ming into being poorer than clean, which was why she had resorted to using their agreement to deal with him. To her at that moment, the 150,000 yuan was a huge sum.

As Su Xiaoxi was paying the bill, she was borrowing money left and right and swiping her credit cards, eventually managing to pay the bill in a highly embarrassed state, while Tang Ming was leisurely picking his teeth with a toothpick, taking delight in seeing Su Xiaoxi made poor by his own hands. Although he felt somewhat shameless, every time he thought about his ninety-nine times of free service, he wished he could slap himself a few times.

In a special care ward of the provincial hospital, Qi Bikou watched Qi Liu Hai lying weakly on the bed next to him, tears rolling down uncontrollably.

Who exactly had they offended to such an extent that even his father, a Four-star Martial Master, was beaten so tragically, even worse off than himself?

Qi Liu Hai indeed looked extremely miserable, having been beaten unrecognizable by Chu Batian and Xin Badao, his face burned by a gas stove by Chen Cang, followed by Tang Ming stuffing his stomach with raw food, and then Li Xiaoli forcing down a belly full of hot pot soup. His face, mouth, esophagus, and stomach were all scalded, and now he was wrapped in thick bandages, unable to speak, truly a picture of pitifulness.

Just as the father and son of the Qi Family lay in bed, suffering to the point of not wanting to live, Uncle Qiu walked in with a face full of joy, "Family Head, Young Master, look who has come."

The befuddled Qi father and son looked towards the door, only to see a spirited, short-haired woman in a snug outfit striding into the room.

"Uncle, cousin, who did this to you?"

After entering the room, Wu Xiaoyu asked with a displeased expression on her face.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper."

Both father and son became excited upon seeing Wu Xiaoyu, but one had injuries on his face while the other had injuries below the waist, and together they couldn’t speak clearly.

"Don’t get excited, don’t get excited, I brought the holy healing medicine from the Dark Group, you two heal up first."

Wu Xiaoyu hastily took out a white Jade Bottle from her pocket and divided the liquid inside into two parts, giving them separately to Qi Bikou and Qi Liu Hai to drink.

Two hours later, the father and son of the Qi Family were discharged from the hospital.

Qi Liu Hai’s injuries had healed, but the burns on his face had only scabbed over, ruining his looks, while Qi Bikou’s lower body was still ruined, but his injuries had healed and he had regained mobility.

This holy healing medicine from the Dark Group was exclusive to the higher echelons of the Dark Group and could not be bought on the market, its healing effects were naturally miraculous.

In the living room of the Qi Family’s villa, the father and son served tea and water to Wu Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the sofa, with obsequious faces. Wu Xiaoyu was from the Capital City’s Wu Family and was also a high-level member of the Dark Group. Now that she had come to the Qi Family, the father and son immediately felt hopeful for revenge.

"Xiaoyu, how did you happen to come to Songhai City?" After some polite conversation, Qi Liu Hai inquired curiously.

"I received information that people from the Su Family were active in Songhai City, so I came to check on the situation, and then I heard that you two had been sent to the hospital."

Wu Xiaoyu’s brow furrowed as she looked at the Qi father and son, "The Qi Family is also a not so weak Martial Arts Family in the provincial capital, how did you end up being beaten like this?"

"This... I was blind and offended a few girls, not expecting that they had experts protecting them."

Qi Bikou sighed with self-reproach, gritting his teeth as he said, "Forget it, my lower body has already been destroyed by someone, I’m a eunuch from now on, let’s just forget about revenge."

"You’re my cousin, and if you take this lying down after being treated like this, where would I put my face?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu immediately exploded with anger and scoffed, "Just tell me who is that bold, acting so brazenly. I want to see what kind of backing they have and if they can make the Dark Group and my Wu Family bow down."

"Thank you so much, cousin."

Qi Bikou quickly expressed his gratitude. In reality, he also longed for revenge, but he knew Wu Xiaoyu was extremely protective. Seeing his pitiable state would only enrage her more, and he was certain she would seek vengeance on those despicable people on his behalf.

"Xiaoyu, don’t be angry; the kid got what he deserved. The other party has high-level martial masters, and the Qi Family is no match. Let’s just let it be, shall we?"

Qi Liu Hai quickly tried to dissuade her. With two Six-star Martial Masters, the opponent was a force beyond what the Qi Family could afford to offend. Although he also desired revenge, without Wu Xiaoyu taking action, he no longer had the courage to do so himself.

Now Qi Liu Hai was playing the same game as Qi Bikou, because he understood Wu Xiaoyu’s temperament. By feigning withdrawal, he aimed to prompt Wu Xiaoyu to take charge.
