When An Zizai appeared but didn’t imdiately preserve the face for himself, Yao buc was sowhat displeased; however, upon hearing that Tang Ming was the boss of Xin Badao and Chu Batian, he was shocked.
After watching for a long ti, how could a youthful, emaciated man with no energy response be the leader of characters like Xin Badao and Chu Batian? Could there have been a mistake?
An Sheng, on the other hand, was pale, never dreaming that Tang Ming’s identity could be so terrifying. Those two great figures from Poison Sect, who could suppress his ancestor grandfather, were actually Tang Ming’s subordinates—didn’t that an the identities of these people here were all extraordinary?
"Just a boss, only a boss."
Tang Ming smiled and mildy said, "I am just a crippled person with no cultivation, weak and defenseless. I’m worried about being killed, so I hire protectors as my bodyguards."
Old An and Yao buc among others were speechless. Were the two giant figures of Poison Sect people who could be hired? Even if they were hireable, it would definitely cost a fortune, and Tang Ming wouldn’t be ordinary to be able to afford that price.
"So, the two of you are really from Poison Sect. Nice to et you, nice to et you."
Once Yao buc recovered, he greeted with a bowed hand. Although he was sowhat wary, he did not lose any face; the power of dicine Sect was no less than that of Poison Sect.
"Indeed, a pleasant encounter... didn’t expect our two sects to et under such a circumstance, long admired, long admired."
Xin Badao also bowed, responding in a strange tone.
"As guests co, apologies for any lack of hospitality..."
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Old An imdiately waved his hand and shouted, "Co people, take An Sheng to the solitary confinent room, forbid him to co out and embarrass us during the grand celebration. And you, Zhongcai, for your impoliteness, quickly apologize to Mr. Tang."
As soon as the words finished, soone instantly dragged away An Sheng, who had been slapped twice.
An Sheng felt extrely aggrieved and furious inside. It seed that whenever he encountered Tang Ming, bad luck would strike, every single ti, and this ti around, at his own ho, in front of his sect’s seniors he was slapped twice... He should just focus on studying Western dicine in the future, otherwise, even if he went to the sect, he would beco a joke.
An Zhongcai promptly apologized to Tang Ming, knowing that the other was Xin Badao and Chu Batian’s boss, he did not dare to be rude.
Subsequently, a group of people walked towards the mansion under the hearty invitation of Old An. Old An walked between the two parties, taking care of both, with An Zhongcai accompanying Yao buc, and An Tian following behind Tang Ming.
Actually, Tang Ming cared little for so-called face. If it weren’t for An Shen insulting Li Xiaoli, that mischievous imp, he wouldn’t have let his bodyguards cause trouble and disrespect Old An. But An Shen’s mouth was filthy and angered him, just in ti for Chu Batian and Xin Badao to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Huh? When Tang Ming was heading to the door, he stopped suddenly and stared at an off-road vehicle with a familiar look.
"Mr. Tang, what’s the matter?"
An Sheng asked Tang Ming with curiousity. Previously, he had always treated Tang Ming as his peer, aiming to defeat him; but now, with Tang Ming’s cultivation ruined, his status and standing had significantly increased, forcing him to treat him with utmost respect.
"This car looks sohow familiar, do you know whose it is?"
Tang Ming took out his phone and compared a picture.
The car in front of them was completely identical to the one Barmaid Tang Ming had departed in after deceiving him, except for the license plate— even the sticker on the rear window was the sa.
That is to say, the mysterious person who had Barmaid Tang Ming victimize him was the owner of this car and was also attending the An Family’s grand celebration.
"This is the car of Sun Zhuangjia from the Sun Family in the provincial city, he has already arrived and is inside flirting with girls."
An Tian slightly curled his lips disdainfully, as he had no fondness for such prodigal sons.
"Sun Zhuangjia."
Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, sure enough, it was that guy Sun Zhuangjia. Although he had suspicions before, he was not certain of the other’s identity. Now he was sure, the person hiding in the shadows trying to harm him was Sun Zhuangjia.
"Is it indeed Sun Zhuangjia? Mr. Tang, do you have a grudge with him?"
An Sheng looked at Tang Ming uncertainly.
"No worries, I was just asking."
Tang Ming smiled, and since Sun Zhuangjia wanted to play, he would gladly play along.
Pretending to know nothing, Tang Ming walked into the estate smiling, while An Tian had to stay at the gate to receive guests, so he did not follow inside.
"Do the Poison Sect and the dicine Sect have a grudge? It seems like there’s quite so tension between you two, what’s going on?"
While walking, Tang Ming asked Xin Badao and Chu Batian in puzzlent.
"A grudge can’t really be said, it’s just that we find each other unpleasant to look at."
Xin Badao curled his lip disdainfully and said, "The dicine Sect specializes in researching how to cure and save people, and the sect’s disciples are either doctors like An Zizai or so pharmacists, with no combat capability and always putting on airs, which is infuriating."
"Exactly. We in the Poison Sect specialize in studying poisons, but those guys in the dicine Sect focus on how to cure poisons. So poisoned individuals seek them for antidotes, which isn’t good for the reputation or interests of our Poison Sect."
Chu Batian snorted coldly and displeasedly said, "It’s also because of this that people label our Poison Sect as evil and crooked while treating the dicine Sect as saviors, unaware that they charge many tis more for providing antidotes than we do for selling poisons, which is simply too deceitful."
"They are typically exploiting others’ misfortunes."
Xin Badao concluded finally.
"So, it’s industry competition." Tang Ming nodded in realization, yet an idea for a lucrative business model erged in his mind.
Since the Poison Sect was involved in making poisons, they could rely on selling poisons to make money. Naturally, after selling the poisons, they would be used, leading people to seek the dicine Sect for antidotes, which involved a fee. If he could control the dicine Sect too, then by having the Poison Sect sell poisons to make money, and the dicine Sect cure with antidotes to make money, a single poison could generate financial benefit twice, which could definitely lead to vast wealth.
Just as Tang Ming was grinning foolishly about controlling the dicine Sect and pondering over how to get rich, Yao Buci and Yao Ming were also exchanging displeased expressions.
"Master, why would our eldest senior brother get involved with the Poison Sect people? Aren’t the Poison Sect all about maliciously harming others? Could it be that our senior brother has fallen?"
Yao Ming asked Yao Buci worriedly.
"I’m not clear about the specifics either, but your eldest senior brother has already hinted that he didn’t send invitations to the people from the Poison Sect. He invited Tang Ming, and the Poison Sect followed on their own accord. That wasn’t his intention."
Yao Buci frowned and disdainfully said, "Those from the Poison Sect always delve into disgraceful poisons. Even if their power isn’t weak, they’re still ridiculed by people of Jianghu. It seems I’ll have to warn your senior brother to avoid getting mixed up with such people; it won’t be good for his future."
