Xue Zengmei told him what had happened in Shanghai in a low voice. Finally, she said, "I'm not sure what Tan Xiu is planning. But he asked me to come back in advance and inform you to find a secret place. The fact that he wants to meet with you must not be known by a third person other than you and me. "
Xue Guanzhong was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "If it's a blessing, it's not a calamity. If it's a calamity, we can't avoid it. The strength of the Tang family in the Imperial Capital is not something that our Xue family can compare with. If he wanted to get rid of the Xue Family, it would be a piece of cake. I don't think he wants to deal with us, but he has other motives. "
Xue Zengmei asked, "Dad, what should we do?"
Xue Guanzhong said, "If he's looking for me for a secret matter, we really can't let outsiders know. How about this, contact him later and tell him that I'll be waiting for him at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. "
Xue Zengmei's expression slightly changed and she said in a low voice, "Dad, the Lake Pavilion is a secret stronghold of our Xue Family. The people guarding there are all trusted men you've nurtured since childhood. If Tan Xiu finds out, then … "
Xue Guanzhong raised his hand to interrupt Xue Zengmei's words and lightly said, "Our Xue Family is a big family with a big business and can absolutely be ranked in the top three in the entire Dongshan Province. But it's precisely because of this reason that I'm afraid there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us and me. Tan Xiu's identity was also extraordinary. If he appeared here openly, he would also be discovered by countless forces. Only by placing it in the pavilion at the center of the lake can I be at ease. "
Xue Zengmei gritted her teeth and said, "I'll rush to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and have the people there temporarily evacuate."
Xue Guanzhong slowly nodded and said, "I'll still say the same thing. If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Tomorrow morning, I will appear at the pavilion in the center of the lake. "
Early morning.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the sparkling lake in the eastern suburbs of Ji City, Xue Guanzhong, who personally drove there, quickly drove the car into the dirt road ahead and disappeared into the dense woods. The lake was very large, and in the middle of the lake was an antique building. From the outside, the building looked extremely dilapidated, and the two long bridges leading to it were also broken.
After Xue Guanzhong parked the car in the dense forest, he got out of the car and took out a black bag. He took out a diving suit from inside and quickly changed into it. Then, he observed the surroundings and found nothing suspicious. Only then did he approach the shore and gradually disappear into the lake.
Half an hour later …
Xue Guanzhong appeared in the dilapidated classical building in the middle of the lake. When he quickly took off his diving suit, Xue Zengmei came up to him with a set of clean clothes.
"Dad, I've contacted Tan Xiu. He should be here soon," Xue Zengmei said.
Xue Guanzhong nodded silently. After changing his clothes and dressing neatly, he walked into a room that was spotless and decorated in an antique style. After taking a seat on a mahogany chair, he slowly said, "Zengmei, go outside and wait for him. Prepare some diving suits. If he's not good at swimming, bring him here. "
"Alright!"
Xue Zengmei nodded. Just as she was about to put on her diving suit and leave, a voice reached her ears.
"No need."
After a while …
Two figures silently appeared at the door of the room. Tan Xiu, who didn't have any trace of water on him, entered the room with Jin Shi. He looked at Xue Guanzhong, who got up and said with a faint smile, "Patriarch Xue, I'm Tan Xiu."
A shocked expression appeared on Xue Guanzhong's face. He carefully observed Tan Xiu a few times and then asked, "How did you come here?"
"We flew here," replied Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Xue Guanzhong slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Please don't joke around, Young Master Tang. This place is located in the middle of the lake. The two bridges have been broken and there's at least a gap of tens of meters in the middle. It's very difficult to come here without wearing a diving suit. "
Tan Xiu raised his brows and looked at the square square table at the side. His fingers pinched a few seals and a violent force immediately destroyed the square square square table, turning it into ashes. And at this moment, a wave of energy instantly condensed the scattered ashes into a ball of ash that was the size of a basketball, and it floated in front of them.
"This …"
Xue Guanzhong took a step back and sat on the chair with an expression as if he had just seen a ghost on his square face. Xue Zengmei, on the other hand, also looked like she had just seen a ghost with fear covering her delicate face.
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and slightly lifted his legs as he walked toward Xue Guanzhong step by step. When he came before Xue Guanzhong, his feet were nearly a meter away from the ground. Just like that, he stood in the air in front of Xue Guanzhong and asked with a strange expression, "Now, do you believe that we flew here?"
Gulp …
Xue Guanzhong desperately gulped down his saliva. He was, after all, the Patriarch of a family with extensive knowledge. After a brief shock, he gradually calmed down and nodded. "I believe you."
Tan Xiu smiled and his figure instantly appeared on the chair opposite Xue Guanzhong. After taking a seat, he said with a smile, "Patriarch Xue, please don't think that I'm Superman. I just have some abilities that Superman doesn't have. Of course, I'm sure you're very confused about this meeting, aren't you? "
Xue Guanzhong stood up and personally brewed a pot of tea for Tan Xiu. After respectfully handing it over to Tan Xiu, he returned to his original seat and nodded. "This Xue is indeed puzzled, and I hope Young Master Tang can dispel it."
"You should thank your daughter," said Tan Xiu. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have set my eyes on you. After all, there are many big families in Dongshan Province, and some of them are stronger than your Xue Family. This time, I'm here to give your Xue Family an opportunity, as well as a chance for you and your daughter. As for whether you can take it or not, it's all up to you. "
Xue Guanzhong realized that Tan Xiu was about to reveal his purpose, so he immediately asked, "Please speak, Young Master Tang."
"I want to establish an intelligence network that covers the entire China," said Tan Xiu. "I want you to be the team leader in Dongshan Province. In other words, as long as you promise me, you'll be a member of the intelligence network I've arranged. "
"What do you want to do?" asked Xue Guanzhong.
"You're not qualified to know what I want to do," said Tan Xiu indifferently. "You only need to know that you must fulfill your duty once you promise me."
Xue Guanzhong forced a smile and said, "Young Master Tang, the state won't allow it …"
Tan Xiu interrupted him and indifferently said, "The Director of the Special Abilities Bureau, Duanmu Lin, will turn a blind eye as long as he doesn't catch my intelligence agents. Besides, an intelligence agent who is caught by others is simply trash, and it's not a pity to lose him. "
Xue Guanzhong was secretly startled. He didn't expect that Tan Xiu had such great power that even the terrifying figure of the Special Abilities Bureau was willing to turn a blind eye.
"Do I still have the right to refuse, Young Master Tang?"
"You're a smart man, so you naturally know what will happen if you refuse me," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "Of course, I won't make you work for nothing. I told you that I'll give you and your daughter a great opportunity, as well as your Xue Family. As long as you become the team leader of Dongshan Province, you'll be my man. "
Xue Guanzhong pondered for half a minute before he firmly nodded and said, "I promise you."
Tan Xiu gave him a thumbs up and praised, "A wise man submits to circumstances. But don't you want to know what kind of opportunity I'll give you and your daughter?"
"Young Master Tang … we'll take whatever opportunity you give us, Boss," said Xue Guanzhong seriously. "It's our honor to work for you, Young Master Tang."
Tan Xiu chuckled. "You're indeed worthy to be the Xue Family's Patriarch. You can see things clearly and know that there's no turning back, so you immediately set your position. I'm sure you've seen the ability I just displayed. Let me tell you something. I'm a cultivator, and my strength is beyond your imagination. Since you've chosen to work for me, I'll teach you and your daughter a cultivation technique. Although the basic level of this cultivation technique is very low and can only let you cultivate to the peak of Qi Refinement at most, it can also let you and your daughter become experts. Even if you face a Martial Dao Grand Master, you can easily kill them with a slap.
Xue Guanzhong and Xue Zengmei exchanged glances, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Tan Xiu continued, "As long as you and your daughter perform well in the future, the subsequent cultivation techniques will be rewarded to you. Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul … In short, the later cultivation techniques will depend on your ability to collect intelligence in Dongshan Province. But if you don't do well or your identity is exposed, you'll be replaced and the entire Xue Family will face extermination. "
Opportunity and crisis coexisted.
Xue Guanzhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I firmly believe I can do it well, Boss. But if I don't do well, or if my identity is exposed, you can do whatever you want to me. "
Tan Xiu nodded and pointed to Jin Shi. "He's Jin Shi, the person in charge of the entire China's intelligence network. He'll be your immediate superior in the future. He'll help you with the construction of the intelligence network in Dongshan Province. However, the deputy team leader of Dongshan Province will be selected by him. You're not qualified to know who the other party is. Both of you will exist at the same time. "
Xue Guanzhong's expression slightly changed as he nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go all out if there's competition. "
Tan Xiu took out the cultivation manual he had written in advance from his interspatial ring and handed it to Xue Guanzhong. He then threw a bottle of pills to him and said, "You'll figure out the cultivation matters yourself. This porcelain bottle contains six Essence Amassing Pills that have been weakened by ten times. After you've familiarized yourself with your cultivation, take one every three days once you start cultivating. You should be able to feel a trace of True Essence growing in your body after you've taken three pills. "
"Thank you for the reward, Boss."
Xue Guanzhong and Xue Zengmei replied at the same time.
Tan Xiu looked at Jin Shi and indifferently said, "I'll give you half a day to discuss the preliminary situation of the intelligence network construction in Dongshan Province with the father and daughter. I'll go ahead and wait for you in He Province. "
