Although Tan Xiu didn't like this kind of social interaction, he came with a purpose today. Therefore, after exchanging greetings, he led Ouyang Lulu, Li Laoshan, and Wang Daoyuan to a remote corner and sat down in front of a table.
"Tan Xiu, why do you look like you're suffering while exchanging greetings with others?" Ouyang Lulu smiled and moved closer to Tan Xiu's side.
"I really hate this kind of greetings without any substance." Tan Xiu said with a helpless expression. "Maybe people will forget who you are after talking for a while. Even if they remember you, it may be troublesome to get it. Having a purposeful relationship is definitely not as good as having a pure bosom friend. "
"That's right." Li Laoshan clapped and smilingly said, "Brother Tang's words really hit the bottom of my heart. When we first met in Saipan, we didn't know each other's details at all. We didn't even know each other's names. It's just that the other party is very interesting, and after getting to know each other, we felt that we hit it off. "
At the side.
Wang Daoyuan's expression moved and he quickly asked, "Brother Li, you said that you and Brother Tang met in Saipan? I heard that there's a big project going on there in the last two months. Could it be … "
"It has nothing to do with me." Li Laoshan waved his hand and smilingly said. "Although I also got the news, my business hasn't reached overseas yet."
Nodding with a thoughtful expression, Wang Daoyuan said, "I once sent some people to investigate after I heard about the big project over there. Unfortunately, I didn't find much news. I only heard that someone bought an island and rebuilt it. What a pity! Such a big project, yet I didn't get it. Otherwise, I would've really made a fortune. "
Li Laoshan glanced at Tan Xiu with a strange expression and fell into silence.
Ouyang Lulu, who was sitting next to Tan Xiu, once again leaned toward Tan Xiu and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tan Xiu, are they talking about the island you bought?"
"It should be!" Tan Xiu also replied in a very low voice. "But I don't want this matter to be known by many people, so don't talk too much."
"Got it!"
Ouyang Lulu smiled.
The banquet hosted by the Situ Family was very casual. As the host, the patriarch of the Situ Family, Situ Boyang, personally came. After greeting many of his old friends, he was dragged to a table by a few of them. As the dishes were served, the scene was very lively with good wine and delicacies.
Tan Xiu was a man of few words. Even though the people at his table all had the intention to make friends with him, he simply responded to them. He was concerned about Situ Boyang, the Patriarch of the Situ Clan.
"Tan Xiu, I'll take you to toast to my godgrandfather!"
Ouyang Lulu suddenly put down her chopsticks and said with a smile.
Tan Xiu said with a faint smile, "Since he's your elder, then let's go meet him! It just so happens that I also want to see the Situ Clan's Patriarch. "
Ouyang Lulu asked with a strange expression, "You want to see God-Grandpa? What is it? "
Tan Xiu smiled faintly and said, "You'll know later. Let's go! "
As the two of them got up and came to Situ Boyang's table, Ouyang Lulu pulled Tan Xiu's arm and smilingly said, "God-Grandpa, Tan Xiu and I are here to toast you."
Situ Boyang turned his head and looked at Ouyang Lulu before his eyes immediately fell on Tan Xiu. After carefully observing him for a while, he nodded with satisfaction and smilingly said, "A very good young man, Tan Xiu. Since you're my godgranddaughter's sweetheart, you should get closer to our Situ Family later."
"We'll be closer, Grandpa Situ," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Let me toast you with this cup of wine."
Situ Boyang picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp with a smile. He then clicked his tongue twice and sighed, "The Gods Nectar produced by your Magnificent Tang Corp is simply a bejeweled nectar. The taste is really memorable. Tan Xiu, for the sake of our family's Lulu, can you open the back door for this old man and sell some to me? "
"You must be joking, Grandpa." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "If you really like it, I'll tell Kang Xia to send some to you later."
"Good, good, good. It's really good." Situ Boyang laughed.
"Grandpa Situ, shall we have a chat after the banquet is over?" Tan Xiu said.
Situ Boyang stared blankly for a moment before he immediately nodded and smilingly said, "Alright! You and Lulu can come together and we'll talk about family matters. "
"Alright, we won't disturb you then!"
Tang Xiu complied and then brought Ouyang Lulu back to the table where they had just eaten. Inwardly, he was thinking about the deal with Situ Boyang later. He might not have cared about the existence of the Situ Family before, but after today's auction, he realized that he was wrong. The Situ Family was a force of the Occult Sect and had a very close relationship with many Occult Sect members in the country. He should be able to get many things that were very suitable for him as long as he went through the Situ Family.
For example, the Situ Family was able to take out the Imperial Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal and the Nine Phoenix Hairpin in this auction, which showed that the Situ Family was very powerful. Perhaps, the Situ Family would be able to get some good things in the future.
The banquet ended.
Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu escorted Li Laoshan and Wang Daoyuan out of the hotel and then went to a luxury suite on the 28th floor of the hotel.
At this time.
Situ Boyang was talking with two old men. Upon seeing Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu's arrival, he waved his hand and said, "Tan Xiu, you're Lulu's sweetheart, so you're not an outsider. So, please wait for a while. We need to talk about something important. We'll talk again later. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu complied but didn't leave. Instead, he and Ouyang Lulu sat on the sofa in the innermost side.
On the sofa in the center of the hall, Situ Boyang extinguished the cigarette in his hand and slowly said, "We must find the tomb map. We're only missing one piece. As long as we find it, I'll go there myself. You must also be prepared. This is definitely a big job for us. "
One of them, a lean old man in a Chinese tunic suit, nodded and said, "Don't worry! We've actually prepared for it. Unfortunately, we have no way to determine the specific location. But, Brother Situ, is your body capable of performing such a dangerous acupoint sealing mission? "
"You two old geezers can do it, so why can't I?" Situ Boyang proudly said. "The three of us have searched hundreds of tombs, but we've never encountered an ancient tomb where we can't determine its origin and who's buried there. We absolutely can't let go of such an opportunity."
The lean old man nodded and sighed, "Yeah! It's a pity that the Earth-Drilling Mouse died. That old geezer was selfish. If he had called the three of us earlier, maybe he wouldn't have died. Although he stole the Imperial Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal from the ancient tomb, I really want to see the flying sword he mentioned before his death. "
"Let's wait for the news! Even if we can't get the third tomb map, we must follow the general direction to find it. I believe that there must be a big secret hidden in the Ancient Zang Mountain Range, "said Situ Boyang slowly.
Not far away.
Tan Xiu's heart slightly moved as he listened to their conversation.
A flying sword?
Could it be a flying sword? But there's no one controlling the flying sword, so it should be a sword array. This kind of sword array should be very powerful. Could it be arranged by some powerful person?
As Tan Xiu thought up to there, he immediately got up and came to the front of the three old men, saying, "I just heard you say that there's a flying sword. I might know something about this situation."
The two old men furrowed their brows and revealed displeasure in their eyes. Situ Boyang, however, raised his brows and smilingly asked, "Since you said you know something, then tell us about it, Tan Xiu."
"A flying sword is the legendary flying sword of a cultivator," said Tan Xiu. "If there's a flying sword in the ancient tomb you mentioned, but there's no living person inside, it means that someone has arranged a sword array with flying swords in the ancient tomb. And the person who can arrange such a sword array is definitely a powerhouse among cultivators, so the power of this sword array can't be underestimated. "
"A sword array?"
The three old men were moved. They didn't expect that Tan Xiu actually knew about the existence of cultivators.
Situ Boyang pointed to the empty sofa at the side and said, "Tan Xiu, you know about cultivators, flying swords, and sword arrays, so you should know more about them, right? Tell us! "
After sitting down, Tan Xiu said, "Cultivators have mysterious and unfathomable power and terrifying means. I'm sure you all know that I bought the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal at a high price, but have you ever wondered why I bought it? "
Situ Boyang pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression, "Don't keep us guessing, Tan Xiu. Get to the point."
"As a matter of fact, the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal is a magic tool, a very powerful one at that." Tan Xiu lightly smiled. "I can't tell you its specific function, though. But what I can say is that I know a lot about magic tools and cultivators. I even have a way to break that sword array. "
Situ Boyang and the other two old men's complexions drastically changed. Shocked expressions could be seen in their eyes as they stared at Tan Xiu and didn't speak for a long time.
Eventually.
"You said that the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal is a magic tool, Tan Xiu?" asked Situ Boyang in a deep voice. "Also, you said that you can break that sword array?"
"That's right!" Tan Xiu nodded.
"So you're a cultivator?" asked Situ Boyang quickly.
"I may not be a cultivator, but I know a lot about them." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Of course, you can also consider me a cultivator since some of my abilities are comparable to cultivators."
"What abilities do you have?" asked the skinny old man hurriedly.
"For example, I have a deep attainment in arrays, and I also have a high attainment in making talismans." Tan Xiu lightly smiled.
Arrays?
Talismans?
The three old men looked at Tan Xiu and were speechless at the moment.
They knew that Tan Xiu was a Divine Doctor, but never did they expect that Tan Xiu was actually proficient in arrays and could even make talismans!
"How did you learn it, Tan Xiu?" asked Situ Boyang.
"I used to read books, and I like all kinds of books." Tan Xiu lightly smiled. Because of my good luck, I obtained a few books, which contained medical knowledge, array formations, and talismans. After many years of research, I finally learned some skills. "
"Although the monthly votes have been slipping, Quiet Night has decided to update three chapters today, one of which is a supplementary chapter. Also, Quiet Night will release ten chapters in three days starting tomorrow. As for the reason, the Immortal World Baby knows. "
