Chapter 1294 Serious Matters
Ok?
Upon hearing this, Wu You was instantly stunned.
He just explained the reason, so why has it suddenly become pending?
All I want is to survive, that's all. Is that not even allowed?
Upon seeing his expression, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately realized that the boy had misunderstood and thought that he was going to cut off his only way out.
However, he couldn't figure out the high priest's true thoughts, and he couldn't openly reveal the flaws in his destiny.
After hesitating for a moment, he could only manage a slightly helpless smile before explaining:
"It has nothing to do with you. I just... wanted to test how much weight my words, as the leader, carry with the high priest."
As he spoke, a sincere smile appeared on his lips again, and he said solemnly:
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will make sure you live to be a hundred years old."
"Ok!"
Wu You nodded emphatically, a shy smile spreading across his face, and walked forward with light steps.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly turned back and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Jiang Xiaochuan: "Goodbye, Master! No, Master, this subordinate takes his leave!"
His serious yet somewhat naive appearance made Jiang Xiaochuan unable to suppress a smile, a long-lost smile appearing on his lips.
"You're actually quite pleased with yourself."
Watching Wu You's figure gradually disappear, Lao Liu leaned against the tree trunk, crossed his arms, and teased:
"What's wrong? You want to be a bodhisattva and cure that kid's root of the problem, but you're also worried that the old man might have other ideas?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Jiang Xiaochuan looked away, touched his nose, and didn't deny it.
"cut,"
The sixth brother rolled his eyes dramatically, looking utterly disgusted.
"You're such a pushover, I can't be bothered with you."
Jiang Xiaochuan wasn't annoyed. He put away his smile and said seriously, "In that case, let's part ways here."
"Damn! You think you can just use me and then dump me, Fatty?"
The sixth brother instantly bristled and almost jumped up.
Didn't you say it was dangerous for you to stay with me?
Completely baffled by Lao Liu's reaction, which was faster than flipping through a book, Jiang Xiaochuan said speechlessly.
"Damn it! You think Fatty did this for you?"
The sixth brother was furious. He put his hands on his hips and glared at him. "If it weren't for that old man Yan Lü keeping my fiancée with you, I would have quit and run away long ago!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly understood.
He said that this guy kept making a fuss the whole way but refused to leave because he was afraid of being poached.
Anyway, he doesn't dare to have the slightest interest in Tang Ran right now. If Lao Liu gets involved, it might save him a lot of trouble.
"what ever."
Jiang Xiaochuan shrugged, finished speaking, and strode quickly out of the dense forest.
"Hey! You stop right there, Fatty!"
The sixth brother immediately followed, scurrying around non-stop:
"This isn't over! My talisman is made of real gold and silver! And give me back my family's heirloom inner armor! Wearing it on you is a waste!"
……
It was already afternoon when we got back to Tenglong.
After treating his injuries briefly in his room and changing into clean clothes, Jiang Xiaochuan went straight to find Du Hai.
The new headquarters was bustling with activity as various tasks were being completed, but Jiang Xiaochuan preferred the quiet of his old place.
Tang Long's former office has now naturally become Du Hai's base for strategizing.
"Boss? You're back!"
Du Hai was writing and drawing on a pile of documents when he looked up and saw Jiang Xiaochuan. He immediately stood up like a spring, his face full of surprise.
Jiang Xiaochuan left with a solemn expression, thinking it would take at least ten days to half a month for him to return.
"Boss, how did things go?"
As Jiang Xiaochuan sat in his office chair, Du Hai naturally leaned against the edge of the desk and asked.
This is a question that Jiang Xiaochuan really doesn't know how to answer.
Even he himself is a little confused about the current situation.
Seeing this, Du Hai immediately changed the subject:
"You've come back just in time. I've already contacted the media and am preparing to spread the news that this place will be the new headquarters."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded.
When he came in, he saw that the main entrance had been fitted with a brand new sign, which showed that everything was progressing steadily under Du Hai's management.
"You can make the decisions about these things."
After Jiang Xiaochuan finished speaking, he told Du Hai about the plan to place spies on the outskirts of Black Mist Ridge.
Du Hai had no questions and nodded in agreement, immediately making the arrangements.
Tenglong has plenty of manpower available now, and sending out two or three Grandmaster-level experts to keep an eye on things is no problem at all.
After Du Hai finished making the arrangements, he immediately returned to the office. Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands together as he approached him.
"Boss, there's something I need to report to you."
Sensing the smugness in the other person's tone, Jiang Xiaochuan became interested and said, "Tell me."
"Miss Tang has also been brought here by me."
Du Hai grinned slyly, "This place is big and spacious. It's not right to always have a young lady stay in a hotel, is it?"
As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Jiang Xiaochuan.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't speak, but gestured for him to continue, feeling that this guy didn't have good intentions.
"Didn't I reserve that suite-style lounge for you on the third floor?"
Du Hai got more and more excited as he spoke, his eyebrows almost flying up, "Since you weren't here, I took the liberty of arranging for Miss Tang to stay in the room next to yours!"
"Quiet, private, and absolutely no one will disturb you!"
Guess what? I mentioned it to Miss Tang, and she didn't hesitate at all; she agreed so readily! What does that mean? It means she cares about you…
"Finished?"
Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted him coldly, his face already darkening.
"...Huh? You're done. Boss, do you think I handled this pretty well..."
Du Hai was still gloating.
"Ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a light but firm tap on the forehead.
Jiang Xiaochuan's face darkened: "Change her to a different room immediately, the farther away from me the better."
Du Hai covered his forehead, looking aggrieved and confused: "Boss, how... how am I supposed to ask that girl for help? It's not appropriate, is it?"
How you bring it up is your business.
Jiang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated, but he had no choice but to keep a straight face.
Perhaps Du Hai thought it was a small matter, but it was quite troublesome for him.
He couldn't wait to get as far away from Tang Ran as possible, but Du Hai, on the other hand, practically shoved her right under his nose.
Regardless of whether he finds it troublesome, if Lao Liu, that cool guy, knew, he would definitely explode on the spot. He didn't want to create such unnecessary trouble.
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's serious expression, Du Hai had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.
It seems this troublesome task will fall to him again.
Du Hai, rubbing his head and looking dejected, was about to leave when he paused, turned back, and this time his expression was much more serious: "Boss, there's something else important!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's wary expression, he quickly waved his hand, "It's serious business!"
As he spoke, he walked to the drawer of his desk and took out a few photos: "Today, the Huangfu family's gate was opened."
