As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. Tan Xiu looked at Chu Yuan, who greeted him with a smiling face. He felt somewhat helpless inwardly, especially since Xue Yu followed him to Shanghai. Chu Yuan was obviously interested in Xue Yu, so he didn't want to see him. However, driving him away would be inexcusable.
"Mr. Chu, it seems you have investigated me very clearly."
Tan Xiu didn't show his thoughts on his face and said indifferently.
Chu Yuan had been waiting here for ten minutes, but the two big men didn't let him enter the door, so he could only stay outside. Now that Tan Xiu had arrived, he smilingly said, "You misunderstood me, Mr. Tang. I just learned that you're studying in Shanghai, so I wanted to visit you. It's not appropriate to go to the campus rashly, so I asked someone to check your residence. "
Tan Xiu nodded and led Chu Yuan inside. He ordered Auntie Zhang to make tea and then sat down in the reception room. As the cigarette was lit, Tan Xiu calmly asked, "I just returned to Shanghai yesterday, yet you came to visit me today. Is there something urgent?"
Just as Chu Yuan was about to speak, the reception room's door was pushed open. Mo Awu came in and glanced at him before he quickly came to Tan Xiu's side. He took the cigarette and whispered in Tan Xiu's ear, "The power unit has been assembled and can be used at any time, Boss."
"Got it. I'll be there later," said Tan Xiu.
Mo Awu nodded and left the reception room straight away.
Tan Xiu took a puff and lightly smiled, "I'm sorry. My subordinate has something to tell me. Please continue. "
"I know we haven't known each other for a long time, Mr. Tang, and the number of times we've met is pitifully few, but I really want to make friends with you. My father has taught me since I was a child that one is marked by the company one keeps. Being friends with capable people will bring me a lot of pressure, but it can also make me constantly improve. "
Having said that, he took out something wrapped in yellow satin cloth from his pocket. He got up and put it on the tea table in front of Tan Xiu and said again, "This is a small object I've collected for many years. It's a small gift for you, Mr. Tang."
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and said with a faint smile, "According to Mr. Chu's identity and status, this little gift is probably not simple, right? As the saying goes, "Don't accept rewards without pains." If you're still hiding your true intentions, I don't think we can be friends. Instead, we'll have some conflicts. "
Chu Yuan stared blankly for a moment before he forced a wry smile and said, "It seems that Mr. Tang has seen through my thoughts. That's right, I came here for three main reasons. First, I sincerely hope that I can be friends with Mr. Tang. We live in a society of human relationships, and the more friends we have, the more options we have. Second, I have heard of some changes that have happened in the Strange Doors. These changes seem to be related to Mr. Tang. I want to protect a person. She used to teach me for a period of time. She can be considered as half a master to me. "
Tan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who?"
"Ling Long Chess Saintess," answered Chu Yuan.
Tan Xiu's expression turned cold as he shook his head and said, "If you don't dig up the roots when you cut the weeds, you'll have endless troubles in the future. Though I'm very curious as to why she left the Kanas Hunting Ground and didn't die in my hands, she's still an enemy. Let me ask you something, Chu Yuan. If someone uprooted the Imperial Garden and killed all your relatives, would you be able to let go of this blood feud? "
Chu Yuan stared blankly for a moment before he bitterly shook his head and sighed. "Since you've put it this way, I'm afraid I'll be ungrateful if I'm still entangled in this issue. She's going to die, and I'm not your opponent, so I can only do something within my power, such as the old, weak, and young of her family. "
Tan Xiu looked at Chu Yuan's probing eyes and indifferently said, "You must know what's more important if you don't want to stir up trouble. I don't care if the Imperial Garden is the Taiyi of the Three Styles or the Sixth Style, but it's best not to meddle in this matter. Of course, I'm not that unreasonable. It's good for the surviving members of the Eight Families to be ordinary people. "
Chu Yuan shot a deep look at Tan Xiu and said with a straight face, "I understand."
"Tell me your third purpose!" said Tan Xiu.
"I heard that Mr. Tang came to Shanghai with Jade Beauty?" asked Chu Yuan.
"Hehe …"
Tan Xiu suddenly grinned. He stood up and walked toward the door of the reception room. While walking, he said, "The Imperial Garden has been in Shanghai for so many years. You really have a deep foundation and many eyes and ears. Such a trivial matter can't escape your eyes. Since you've come here, you should've found that Xue Yu's veil is gone, right? "
Chu Yuan's heart trembled and a sense of oppression grew inside. Although he had seen the photos of Tan Xiu and Xue Yu leaving the airport and was deeply attracted by Xue Yu's stunning appearance, it was just a guess and he didn't dare to be 100% sure that it was Xue Yu.
But …
Now that he got confirmation from Tan Xiu, he knew that he didn't have a chance. Even if Tan Xiu didn't want Jade Beauty, it was likely that she would never be with him again given her character and the rules of her clan. His heart ached faintly, but he felt powerless about this result.
Following behind Tan Xiu, he suddenly said with a slightly pale face, "Mr. Tang, you should be very clear about my feelings. Jade Beauty and I have known each other since childhood and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. But since she has made her choice, I respect her decision. I just hope that you'll treat her better in the future. "
Just as Tan Xiu was about to enter the hall, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt. He turned to look at Chu Yuan with a slightly unwilling expression and said with a light smile, "Xue Yu is nothing in my eyes. I wanted to drive her away and stop her from pestering me, but I failed. If you can convince Xue Yu to leave me and never see me again, maybe I can accept your friendship. "
What?
Chu Yuan was shocked and a sense of shame involuntarily arose inside him. The woman he wanted to pursue turned out to be so unimportant in the eyes of others? He was proud and conceited, but he was a bit disheartened at the moment because of a woman.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability."
Chu Yuan took a deep breath and said with a bitter face.
Tan Xiu shook his head and turned back to continue walking, saying, "I still have something to do, so I can't send you off, Mr. Chu. I believe you already know where Xue Yu lives, Mr. Chu. You can find her at any time if you want to see her later. "
Having said that, he passed through the living room and came to the front of a door in the opposite corridor. After pushing the door open, he saw that everything else in the room had been cleaned out, except for the power unit installed inside. Two arm-thick wires were connected and sealed with a plastic seal.
Chu Yuan didn't leave despite hearing Tan Xiu's order to leave. He followed to the door and was immediately stunned when he saw the scene inside. After hesitating for a moment, he still followed inside.
"You're still not leaving?"
Tan Xiu took off his coat and turned to look at Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan spread out his hands and forced a smile, "Mr. Tang, you haven't seen the gift I gave you. I guarantee you'll like it. "
A trace of surprise was revealed on Tan Xiu's face. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Since it's a good thing, then I'll see it later. Do you see this thing? It's the world's most powerful power unit, up to 1.2 million kilowatts. The core equipment of this unit, the boiler, the steam turbine, and the generator, are all the best in the world. Do you know what I'm going to use it for? "
"I don't know," Chu Yuan shook his head, confused.
"I'm not a clean freak, but I also like cleanliness." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Using water to bathe is too boring, and I'm afraid it won't be clean. Do you think it'll be cool to use electricity to bathe? "
Use …
Using electricity to bathe?
"Mr. Tang, you must be joking," said Chu Yuan with a smile. "Anyone who can use electricity to bathe is simply an immortal."
Tan Xiu shook his head and quickly took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear. Then, he nodded to Mo Awu in the room. Along with the start of the power unit, the two thick wires thrown on the ground slightly vibrated. Tan Xiu grabbed the ends of the two wires and removed the plastic seal on them. Suddenly, he felt the violent electric current energy escaping.
"Boss, 10,000 volts. Activate the strongest electric current state."
Mo Awu looked at the number on the display and said in a deep voice.
Tan Xiu nodded and directly inserted the two thick wires into his chest. The violent electric current directly drilled into his body at this moment. What made Tan Xiu slightly furrow his brows was that the strongest electric current state of 10,000 volts only made his body slightly numb. His fingers and toes were a bit painful, as though they were bitten by ants at the same time.
Hiss …
Chu Yuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He was very clear about the power and electric current issues. Once the strongest electric current state was connected to a human body, it would definitely be instantly electrocuted. However, when the electric current hit Tan Xiu's body, he turned out to be … as if nothing happened to him?
"Double it."
Tan Xiu said without changing his expression.
Chu Yuan's heart trembled and he instantly revealed a horrified expression. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still frightened by Tan Xiu's words and felt weak all over.
"Boss, 20,000 volts. Activate the strongest electric current state."
Mo Awu's expression was somewhat calm as he said after operating the power unit.
Tan Xiu didn't remove the two wires from his body. He had already felt the more violent electric current drilling into his body. The electric current surged in his body. He could even clearly feel that some hidden impurities in his body were burned out by the electric current without him noticing.
Moreover.
His heartbeat increased by a beat and his blood circulation speed was a little faster than before. That kind of numb feeling was also a lot stronger, causing the cell division of his body to accelerate a little. But only a little.
"Double it again."
Tan Xiu said in a deep voice.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but shiver and exclaim, "Don't."
Mo Awu ignored Chu Yuan and directly increased the power to 40,000 volts. The boss used his own body to experiment. He was somewhat looking forward to it because Tan Xiu had told him that once the plan to use electric current to refine the body was feasible, it would be of great benefit to cultivators like them.
