Jingmen Island, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Jarvis Hotel.
The moment Tan Xiu hung up the phone, the phone in the hand of the middle-aged man standing by the window fell to the ground with a 'bang'. His complexion also turned deathly pale.
The next moment, the middle-aged man turned around and fiercely slapped the young man beside him.
The pitiful young man was looking at the middle-aged man with a face full of expectation. He simply didn't guard against the middle-aged man's sudden attack and was directly slapped to the ground by the middle-aged man.
"Eldest Senior Brother … you … why did you hit me?" Zhang Tiechun looked at Gong Dalong with a puzzled expression.
One must know that Jia Ruidao had only received three disciples in his life, namely the eldest disciple, Gong Dalong, the second disciple, Zhang Tiechun, and the third disciple, Jia Yelei.
Among them, Jia Yelei was Jia Ruidao's son and also Jia Ruidao's personal disciple.
The three of them had a very good relationship. They supported each other in their career and took care of each other in their daily life. They were no different from real brothers, which was a much-told story in the Shuangqing Province.
The only fly in the ointment was that Jia Yelei loved vanity and had an extremely impulsive character. Therefore, Gong Dalong and Zhang Tiechun often had to clean up his mess. Sometimes, Jia Ruidao also had to clean up his mess.
This time, the reason why Jia Ruidao had to rush to Jingmen was because Jia Yelei had lost a gamble. Moreover, he had lost very miserably. After losing so much, he actually revealed his father's name, which then provoked a big trouble.
Jia Ruidao's name was only useful in the Shuangqing Province and not everywhere in the country. Not to mention in Jingmen Island, which was an extremely xenophobic place. When Jia Yelei revealed his father's name, not only did it not deter the other party, but it also made him suffer even more humiliating treatment.
In just three days, the impetuous Jia Yelei had lost 100 million under the other party's provocation. When Jia Yelei finally realized that something was wrong, he had to call his Second Senior Brother, Zhang Tiechun.
Zhang Tiechun's gambling skills were all passed down by Jia Ruidao. Moreover, he was extremely fond of Jia Yelei. After he rushed to Jingmen Island, he did not criticize Jia Yelei. Instead, he was implicated by Jia Yelei and jumped into the other party's meticulously arranged trap and lost another 50 million.
"Why did I hit you? You actually still ask me why I hit you? Before Master's wife passed away, she handed over Junior Brother to us to take care of. But you, Junior Brother went to Jingmen Island to gamble for half a month, yet you didn't even pay attention to him and didn't know anything about it. "Zhang Tiechun, do you know what kind of situation we will be in if Master falls this time?"
"Zhang Tiechun, do you know what kind of situation we'll be in if Master dies this time? Not only will we go bankrupt, but our reputation in Shuangqing Province will also be tarnished. With Master's character, do you think he will be able to live on after encountering such a thing? "
Gong Dalong roared at Zhang Tiechun.
"Gong Dragon" Zhang Zhang of, Gong Tan, Gong, Gong, Dang of Gong, Gong, Gong of Gong, and said. Gong. and, Gong, Zhang.
"I,". Gong, Gong, Gong with, he. Gong, Gong, Gong, and, and said. Gong of. of. Gong.... "Tan.............." He didn't even give me a chance to speak and hung up the phone. "Gong Dalong's face became gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed helplessly.
"This … this … how can Tan Xiu be like this … This is a matter of one's loss and one's glory. Now, it's not only about the face of us, but also the face of the entire Shuangqing Province. He doesn't see the big picture at all," Zhang Tiechun said with a pale face.
"Master has already made it very clear to us that Tan Xiu is not someone from the casino, but someone outside the circle." Gong Dalong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Let's think of other ways for now. As for Tan Xiu, we can only use emotion and reason to slowly grind him down."
After Tan Xiu hung up the phone with Gong Dalong, he tidied up the villa and returned to school.
The main reason for Tan Xiu's leave this time was to complete the Qi Cultivation Stage's body tempering. Since the body tempering had been completed, Tan Xiu naturally didn't need to continue staying outside.
In his previous life, Tan Xiu was completely obsessed with cultivation and alchemy, talisman, and refining techniques. He almost didn't pay attention to the outside world, and was completely ignorant of the ways of the world. At the last moment, he was betrayed by his lover and confidant.
In this life, since he had the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, a perfect peerless divine technique, and the ten thousand years of cultivation experience and knowledge from his previous life, Tan Xiu didn't need to worry about the slow progress of his strength. Therefore, he wanted to spend more time and energy on understanding the ways of the world and tempering his state of mind.
When Tan Xiu entered the classroom, he found that his classmates were looking at him with unfamiliar gazes, and faintly, some unpleasant words floated into his ears.
"Relying on cheating to get first place in the monthly test, he really thinks that he is first. If he has the ability, then he should continue to get first place in this monthly test."
"If he really got first place, he wouldn't be so arrogant. Yang Jian from class five has been first place in the monthly test for several months in a row, and hasn't he been diligently studying every day?"
"Tan Xiu probably saw that graduation is approaching, so he couldn't help but be crazy for once, so that everyone would remember him better. With his IQ, how could he really get first place?"
…
When he suddenly heard these words, Tan Xiu felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
But after thinking for a while, Tan Xiu felt relieved.
After all, he had "fallen" for such a long time, and his grades had always been at the bottom. If he suddenly got first place, it would already be good if others didn't suspect him, so how could they like and respect him?
Perhaps the moment the results came out, it could cause a sensation, and it could also shock some people, but as time passed, the sensational effect caused by the results would slowly disappear, and some people with ulterior motives would incite and spread rumors, and it would be replaced by jealousy, resentment, and even slander.
"Boss, don't care about them, they have nothing better to do, and if they don't gossip for a day, they will die." Seeing that Tan Xiu had returned, Yuan Chuling couldn't help but be overjoyed. After greeting him, he noticed that Tan Xiu's expression was a little abnormal, and immediately understood what was going on, so he comforted him in a low voice.
"It's okay, we will use the results to slap them in the face later." Tan Xiu nodded, then opened the desk, and was about to take out the books from inside to flip through.
The moment he opened the desk, Tan Xiu was stunned. He found that he had only been away from school for ten days, and the desk was already filled with white papers.
"Boss, I really admire your wise choice. You ran outside to be free and unfettered, and you don't have to face the endless torture of test papers … Huh? Boss, why do I feel like you've become whiter and taller? You couldn't have gone for plastic surgery, right?" As Yuan Chuling spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and cried out involuntarily.
Yuan Chuling's voice was too loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of the classroom, and then everyone's eyes were focused on Tan Xiu.
Hearing Yuan Chuling's words, Tan Xiu couldn't help but let out a thump, and his face changed a little.
Although after the body tempering, Tan Xiu found that his height had jumped up a bit, but after making a few phone calls, Tan Xiu was thinking about things in his heart, and forgot about the huge change in his height.
Just as Tan Xiu was about to say a few words to explain, the words that came to his ears made him stunned.
"Fatty, will you die if you don't brag? Tan Xiu still owes school fees, how can he have the money to go for plastic surgery?"
"If plastic surgery can change my height, I will also go for plastic surgery."
"Fatty only knows how to shout all day to attract everyone's attention, don't pay attention to this guy."
…
Although Tan Xiu's height had changed, because he had been in Class 10 for a total of more than a month, and most of the time he sat in his seat and didn't move, and didn't interact with the students in the class, this caused his presence in the class to be very weak.
If it wasn't because of Su Xiangfei's deliberate provocation, the students in Class 10 simply wouldn't care about a person like Tan Xiu, and they wouldn't care about Tan Xiu's height and the color of his skin.
Tan Xiu thought that his height change would cause a sensation and suspicion, but the fact made him feel like a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.
Everyone just rolled their eyes at Yuan Chuling, ridiculed Yuan Chuling a few words, and then went to busy themselves with their own things, no longer paying attention to Yuan Chuling.
"Could it be that I really saw wrong?" Yuan Chuling looked at Tan Xiu with a puzzled face, and his mouth couldn't help but whisper, "My eyes have always been very sharp, there's no reason for me to make a mistake, could it be that I've been doing the test papers recently?"
Hearing Yuan Chuling's whisper, Tan Xiu was completely relieved.
In the entire Xingcheng No. 1 High School, Yuan Chuling was the person who was closest to him, if even Yuan Chuling wasn't sure if there was a huge change in his body, then others wouldn't be able to be sure.
As for his family, Tan Xiu wasn't worried at all.
Seventeen or eighteen years old was originally the time when one's body would explode, and he would go home once a month, and his mother wouldn't necessarily pay attention to his height every time. Suddenly seeing his height jump up a bit, his mother might be surprised, or even surprised, but she would never doubt or be afraid.
After chatting with Tan Xiu for a while, Yuan Chuling began to immerse himself in studying.
Perhaps Yuan Chuling had completely let go of the knot in his heart, or perhaps after the change of environment, Yuan Chuling's mentality had also changed.
Tan Xiu could see that Yuan Chuling wasn't as playful as before, but was studying very hard.
After glancing at the test papers on the desk, Tan Xiu crumpled them all into a ball and threw them into the trash can. Tan Xiu didn't want to waste precious time on boring exercises and test papers.
"Wealth, partner, method, and location, wealth is the most important thing. What I should do next is to find a stable way to earn money, not the college entrance examination."
The path of cultivation paid particular attention to the words "method", "partner", "wealth", and "location".
With the Heavenly Art of Quintessential Space Genesis, Tan Xiu didn't need to worry about the method of cultivation. It was very likely that the Earth was in the Age of Dharma Decline, and apart from himself, there wasn't any other cultivator. Tan Xiu also didn't think about looking for a fellow cultivator or a fellow daoist. As for a place to cultivate, the Heavenly Palace on Walled Hill Village was already under construction, so Tan Xiu didn't need to worry about it for the time being.
Only regarding money, Tan Xiu had no choice but to pay attention to it.
