Li Qiang, who was already full of grievances, nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood upon hearing the taxi driver's words. He could no longer suppress his anger and exasperatedly shouted, "Will you die if you shut up and don't talk? You don't even know what's going on, yet you're talking nonsense here. "
The taxi driver didn't get angry. Instead, he shook his head sympathetically and sighed, "Alright, alright. I won't talk. It's human nature to be angry when encountering this kind of thing. I've earned your money, so it's fine for you to vent your anger. I won't talk anymore. "
Li Qiang furiously glared at the taxi driver and then furiously looked at the Mercedes-Benz SUV in front. He wished he could cut that pretentious bastard into pieces.
Bowen Restaurant.
The restaurant looked very ordinary from the outside. It was a three-story building with a classical style and a lot of red lanterns. Under the golden signboard, four waitresses in red cheongsams stood on both sides, while several security guards strolled around.
"Welcome."
After Tan Xiu took Xue Yu's hand and got out of the Mercedes-Benz, the waitresses respectfully bowed and greeted them. A woman in her 40s, who was still attractive, hurriedly ran out from the inside. After seeing Tan Xiu and Xue Yu, she hesitated for a moment before her eyes fell on Xue Yu and asked, "Are you Miss Xue?"
"That's me." Xue Yu nodded.
The woman hurriedly took out two name cards and handed them to Xue Yu and Tan Xiu, saying, "Welcome, both of you. I'm the manager of this restaurant. You can call me Manager Hu. Elder Chang and Elder Bao have arrived and are waiting in the VIP lounge. "
"Do you know Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle?" Xue Yu was surprised.
"They are our restaurant's distinguished guests. They come to Chang City every two years and solve their food problems here," said Manager Hu. "Also, my husband is Elder Chang's disciple."
"Your husband is also an herb gatherer?" Xue Yu was surprised.
Manager Hu's expression slightly changed and became more respectful. She nodded and said, "Yes, my husband is indeed an herb gatherer."
"Lead the way, then!" Xue Yu nodded.
Quickly.
Under the guidance of Manager Hu, Tan Xiu and Xue Yu arrived at the VIP lounge on the third floor. To their surprise, there were a few other people in the VIP lounge other than the two old men. One of them was a skinny middle-aged man who stood obediently behind the two old men. The other two were an old lady with a head full of white hair and a handsome young man.
"Eh?"
The handsome young man exclaimed in surprise when he saw Tan Xiu and Xue Yu coming in. However, his expression turned a bit unsightly as he strode towards Tan Xiu and Xue Yu. With an overbearing manner, he looked at Xue Yu and asked loudly, "Who is he, Xue Yu?"
Tan Xiu shot a strange look at Xue Yu and smilingly asked, "Do you know him?"
Xue Yu just glanced at the handsome young man and lightly said, "I know, but I'm not familiar with him."
The handsome young man's face turned dark and he angrily said, "I've been pursuing you for a while, Xue Yu. How can you say that we're not familiar? Boy, who are you? Let go of Xue Yu, else don't blame me for being impolite! "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I see. You should be one of Xue Yu's pursuers, right? It's no wonder, though. This woman of mine is as beautiful as a fairy, so the number of men pursuing her is as many as the carps crossing the river. Alright, don't threaten me like a child. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, it won't change the fact that she's my woman. "
Xue Yu seemed to be very happy that Tan Xiu admitted that she was his woman in front of others. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she softly said, "He's right. He's my only man. So, Mr. Liu, please conduct yourself with dignity and don't pester me anymore. "
The handsome young man looked at Xue Yu and Tan Xiu with disbelief. Just as he was about to speak loudly, the white-haired old lady shouted in a deep voice, "Little Meng, come back!"
"I …"
The handsome young man opened his mouth, but he seemed to be afraid of the white-haired old lady. He angrily glared at Tan Xiu before he turned around and walked to the white-haired old lady's side and sat down.
Xue Yu and Tan Xiu came to the front of them and watched the two old men get up from the sofa. Then, he lightly smiled and said, "You two must be the Herb Gatherer, Elder Chang, and the Dragon Seeking Master, Bao Anle, right? I'm Xue Yu, and this is my man, Tan Xiu. "
Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle exchanged glances and immediately nodded to Xue Yu in a friendly manner. Their eyes then landed on Tan Xiu.
"This … Little Brother Tang, you look a bit familiar, no? Have we met somewhere before? "Chang Pinggui curiously asked.
"Fortunately, Elder Chang, you're not a woman," Tan Xiu said with a smile, "Else, I would've thought that I'm too handsome, so some girls are finding excuses to hit on me! I'm sure this is the first time we've met. Also, let me introduce myself. I'm Tan Xiu from the Magnificent Tang Corporation. "
The Magnificent Tang Corporation?
Chang Pinggui stared blankly for a moment. His eyes suddenly turned saucer with disbelief. Even his body trembled a few times as he said with a trembling voice, "You … you're the famous young Divine Doctor Tan Xiu in the Chinese medicine circle? The Magnificent Tang Corporation's Big Boss? "
"I never thought that Elder Chang would've heard of me. This junior is truly honored!" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
Upon hearing Tan Xiu's acknowledgement, Chang Pinggui immediately rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "You're flattering me. It's my honor to be able to meet Tang … Divine Doctor Tang! There was no one in the country who didn't know about the famous young divine doctor, Tang Xiu. We herb gatherers are the ones who want to know you the most, Divine Doctor Tang. We hope that we can collect precious herbs and use you to cure illnesses and save lives. "
Bao Anle also looked surprised. He looked at Tan Xiu and said, "I've also heard of the young Divine Doctor Tan Xiu's great name. It's really better to see it once than to hear it a hundred times. You're really a young talent and amazing! It's no wonder that the Venerable's successor has fallen in love with you. "
"Are you talking about the Old Blind, Elder Bao?" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
Bao Anle stared blankly for a moment before the surprise on his face disappeared and was replaced with a bit of anger. He frowned and said, "I hope you can show some respect to the Venerable, Tan Xiu. Besides, since the Venerable's descendant is your woman, it stands to reason that you should also address her as the Venerable Ancestor. "
"Please don't say that, Elder Bao," said Xue Yu hurriedly. "Even if the Venerable Ancestor personally came before Tan Xiu, she doesn't want Tan Xiu to address her as such. As a matter of fact, it was the Venerable Ancestor's request for Tan Xiu to address her as Old Blind. "
Tan Xiu patted Xue Yu's shoulder and smilingly said, "You're right, Elder Bao. I should indeed address the Old Blind as the Venerable Ancestor according to our relationship. Please forgive me, Elder Bao. I used to address her as Old Blind and forgot to change it. "
"The Venerable Ancestor requested it?" asked Bao Anle, dumbfounded. "You … how is that possible?"
Tan Xiu smiled and didn't explain further. Instead, he looked at the white-haired old lady sitting on the sofa and asked with a smile, "Tan Xiu has seen Senior. How should I address you, Senior?"
The white-haired old lady observed Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "You can call me Old Cripple."
Old Cripple?
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly felt an aura like a breeze blowing over and instantly drilled into his mind. Nearly in a flash, his spiritual sense suddenly erupted and smashed into the invading spiritual sense. After driving it out of his mind with a crushing force, he continued to pursue it.
"Stop, Divine Doctor Tang!"
The white-haired old lady's body shook violently and she hurriedly screamed before coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Tan Xiu retracted his spiritual sense and frowned as he coldly said, "Old Cripple, there should be no enmity between us, right? You actually dared to invade my Sea of Consciousness with your spiritual sense? That's a capital crime! "
"Death your sister …"
The handsome young man suddenly jumped up, but a shadow flashed in front of him. A loud slap was heard as his body flew upside down and heavily smashed into the corner seven meters away.
Tan Xiu returned to his original spot and indifferently said, "Be careful with your words."
The white-haired old lady stared at Tan Xiu in disbelief. She tremblingly got up and limped a few steps toward Tan Xiu. Then, she respectfully said, "This Old Cripple has no intention to offend you. I just felt that someone who can make that Old Blind appreciate must be extraordinary, so I rashly probed you. I hope Divine Doctor Tang won't blame me for it."
Tan Xiu coldly snorted and said, "If I hadn't found that you didn't have any malice, I'm afraid your body and soul would have perished by now. Remember, don't easily probe others in the future, else no one can guarantee that the other party will be as softhearted as me. "
"Understood. This Old Cripple will bear that in mind."
The white-haired old lady hurriedly nodded and replied with a look of panic on her face.
The unforeseen event in front of them made Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle dumbfounded with shock written all over their faces. Even the middle-aged man behind them was directly dumbfounded.
Could it be …
Could it be that he's a cultivator?
Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle exchanged glances with monstrous waves surging inside their hearts.
Tan Xiu didn't want to get entangled with the white-haired old lady and indifferently said, "Take care of your junior. Don't blame me for turning hostile if he dares to talk nonsense again."
"Don't worry. I guarantee that he won't say another word," said the white-haired old lady hurriedly.
"Grandma …"
The handsome young man crawled up from the corner with difficulty and shouted while covering his face.
"SHUT UP! Else I'll cripple you and expel you from the family!" shouted the white-haired old lady angrily.
The handsome young man's breathing stagnated and he immediately looked frightened. However, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Tan Xiu.
BAM …
The VIP lounge's door was slammed open and Li Qiang rushed in from the outside with a furious face. He glared at Tan Xiu and shouted, "You bastard! You deliberately played me!"
Upon seeing Li Qiang, Tan Xiu immediately looked interested. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He then crossed his legs and smilingly said, "Please take a seat first, everyone."
After saying that …
He then looked at Li Qiang and smilingly asked, "Tell me, how did I play you? Let's make it clear. Don't blame me for tidying you up if you can't tell me the truth. "
"You deliberately let the car …"
As the words came out, Li Qiang was dumbfounded and froze on the spot like a fossil.
