This is also why the Dark Group has developed many peripheral mbers like Liu Gaoze. This is because the official mbers of the Dark Group are easily oppressed and marginalized by the Ming Group while operating dostically. They can only let peripheral mbers act in major cities to ensure smooth intelligence flow.
"How have you guys been managing? The Dark Group is so much weaker than the Ming Group that you don’t even dare to set up a branch. If others won’t let you set it up, you just don’t set it up. It’s really pathetic."
Hearing this, Tang Ming imdiately beca disgruntled. Although he had heard that the Ming Group was powerful now, he didn’t expect the Dark Group to be suppressed to this extent. He felt extrely frustrated to be a part of such a pathetic organization.
"Ahem, this is the decision from higher up. Our identities can’t affect such a grand sche."
Lin Canghai responded helplessly and then changed the subject: "Just tell what’s the matter?"
"You should know about the military research institute in Songlan City, right?"
Tang Ming asked lazily.
"Of course I know. The Liu Gaoze you recomnded is the current head there. Do you want Liu Gaoze to get another promotion?"
Lin Canghai asked uncertainly.
"Not that. They just need a research material called Star-falling Iron. I’ve already bought it for them at the Martial Arts Conference, but I’ve got urgent matters and can’t deliver it to Songlan City. So I’m asking you to co over and send it there."
Tang Ming explained the situation.
"So it’s just delivering sothing. That’s no problem. I thought you were up to sothing big."
Lin Canghai let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "Currently, I’m free. I’ll book a ticket and co over, and maybe we can have a good ti tonight."
"Who wants to hang out with you? Hurry up, grab the stuff, and scram."
Tang Ming replied irritably, then hung up the phone and sent his address to Lin Canghai.
"Tang Ming, I heard you are back."
As soon as the call ended, Li Xiaoli’s voice sounded from outside the door.
He got up and opened the door. Liu ngting, Xia Wei’er, and Chen Cang rushed in carrying bags upon bags of stuff.
"How many things did you buy in the past few days? Can you carry them all back?"
Tang Ming asked in disbelief.
"Tang Ming is really stupid, huh."
Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Tang Ming, slumping onto the sofa with all the bags.
"You really are a glutton!"
Liu ngting looked at Tang Ming with disdain and quickly sat beside Li Xiaoli.
"Oh, I shopped all day, I’m exhausted. Tonight, I must have a good soak and a thorough bath."
Chen Cang, who didn’t dare be disrespectful to Tang Ming, twisted like a snake and flopped on the sofa.
"Did I say sothing wrong?"
Tang Ming looked at them with discontent.
"We’ve already sent back the stuff we bought over the past few days to Songlan City. The hotel will help us mail today’s purchases tomorrow morning."
Seeing Tang Ming’s confusion, Xia Wei’er imdiately explained enthusiastically: "So, there’s no need to worry. No matter how much stuff there is, it can be sent back."
"So that’s it."
Tang Ming suddenly understood and shook his head sympathetically, feeling sorry for Liu Tianji. He wondered how much Liu Tianji was scamd by Liu ngting and the others, as all the expenses were on him.
"Tang Ming, co over and tell us about the Martial Arts Conference. Wasn’t it fun?"
Li Xiaoli slumped on the sofa, waving at Tang Ming and asking eagerly.
"The Martial Arts Conference sounds like sothing out of a novel. There must be lots of exciting stories."
Chen Cang imdiately chid in.
"Actually, it wasn’t anything special. It was far inferior to the Martial Arts Conferences in wuxia novels."
Tang Ming thought for a mont and sat down on the sofa, starting to recount what happened at the Martial Arts Conference.
Although his story was plain, the listeners were entranced, wishing they could have been there at the Martial Arts Conference with Tang Ming.
"That’s how it went. Finally, Su Xiaoxi and I dealt with Bai’s corpse and went down the mountain."
Tang Ming concluded.
"Wow, is that normal? It’s incredibly exciting!"
Li Xiaoli clasped her hands together and exclaid exaggeratedly: "I can’t believe that octopus head actually ate shit. So gross!"
"And those three from the Zhao Family, not only was their relationship a ss, but they even tried to rob you. They deserved to be beaten up by you."
Xia Wei’er stood up for Tang Ming indignantly. Tang Ming didn’t ntion killing anyone, just that he taught the three from the Zhao Family a lesson.
"And Zhou Hai and his disciple from the Sun and Moon Group, they are so evil."
Liu ngting angrily condemned: "If they were in the Liu Group, I’d have my dad fire them."
"Ha!"
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched. This woman’s thinking was really strange, completely off their wavelength.
"Ladies, you haven’t noticed Tang Ming’s key point."
Chen Cang waved his hand and looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "Since Tang Ming promised that person nad Bai’s last wish, does it an he’ll go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace? Have you been there already or are you planning to go?"
Tang Ming’s eyes lit up. Chen Cang, this half-man half-woman, got the point. He had said all this to let the three girls know he had to go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace.
The three girls fell silent and looked at Tang Ming curiously.
"I definitely have to go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace."
Tang Ming nodded and said confidently: "A man must keep his word. Since I promised that person nad Bai to help him with the Heavenly Cloud Sect, I must fulfill that promise. So I wanted to tell you that tomorrow you should return to Songlan City while I go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace. After all, I don’t know how long it will take there."
"No way."
Liu ngting imdiately opposed, saying displeasedly: "We are your friends. How can you leave us behind to help a dead man fulfill his wish? Besides, how do you know if what he said is true and whether the Heavenly Cloud Palace is good or bad?"
"A dying man’s words are kind. There’s no way he’d trick , right?"
Tang Ming touched his nose and smiled, feeling helpless, knowing he was indeed tricked by that dead guy.
"Not necessarily. What if he just wanted you to go to so dangerous place and risk your life for him?"
Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming anxiously: "Besides, what if his sister is an ugly freak and he just wanted you to marry an ugly freak?"
"That’s even more reason not to go."
Liu ngting then rembered Bai Lingxiao’s promise to give his sister to Tang Ming, and imdiately beca more opposed.
