My Co-renting Lady Boss

Recently, there has been a significant conflict between Mu Ta and Han Ya over the position of the Inner Treasury manager in Tianpo City.

Tang Ming was named by Lan Yancha to stay, and Mu Ta would surely use this as leverage.

Since Tang Ming and Meng Liang are no longer on good terms, this Tang Ming might very well become an enemy.

As expected, the gaze of Han Ya, the Tower Master of Tianpo, sharpened. He coughed and said, "Commander, you’re right. Since Senior Lan Yan has spoken, our Tianpo City will naturally take it seriously. I see that this young man has a great talent in detoxification; why not make him a Hall Master at the medical pavilion?"

In the Jiulong Dynasty, being a Hall Master at the medical pavilion is a position of both power and profit. Han Ya giving the medical pavilion to Tang Ming was clearly a gesture of great respect towards Lan Yancha.

Yet, Tian Huansheng secretly lamented in his heart; ever since the previous Hall Master of the medical pavilion fell, the position had remained vacant.

Not long ago, one of the three Deputy Hall Masters at the medical pavilion had aligned with him, and he was preparing to promote that deputy at the next Tower meeting in Tianpo City.

He did not expect that Han Ya would painfully give up the position of Hall Master at the medical pavilion.

Mu Ta was also a bit surprised by Han Ya’s decision, but he still nodded, "Senior Lan Yan, are you satisfied with our Tower Master’s arrangement?"

"Hmm. Let it be. As for you, young Meng, I know you’re disgruntled, but you know what narrow thoughts you harbor."

Lan Yancha opened his mouth, and a dark blue bead flew out. He stepped forward and slapped it onto Tang Ming’s back.

Tang Ming groaned in pain, and the dark blue bead was shoved into his mouth by Lan Yancha.

The nauseating smell stimulated Tang Ming’s taste buds, but he still swallowed Lan Yancha’s bead, which the Demoness Hei Ban from the West Coast had also given him once before. It had great benefits for cultivators in enhancing their body’s resistance and cultivation.

Unlike Hei Ban’s bead, Lan Yancha’s bead was under his control, flowing through Tang Ming’s meridians, quickly clearing the toxins stored there. Instantly, Tang Ming began to operate the Thousand Evil Poison Technique.

Standing not far away, Lan Yancha’s eyes narrowed as he noticed a vortex appear in Tang Ming’s dantian. The toxins previously expelled by the bead seemed to find an entrance, rushing into the vortex.

Tang Ming’s face flushed with color, "Thank you, Senior, for dispelling the poison."

"You helped my granddaughter; it’s only right for me to help you. Mu Ta, I’m taking this young man to stay at your mansion for a few days. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Lan Yancha’s gaze landed on Mu Ta, the City Lord of Tianpo City.

Mu Ta burst out in hearty laughter, "How could I? I couldn’t even invite you. Someone, inform my wife to prepare the guest rooms; Senior Lan Yan and this young brother Tang Ming will be guests at the City Lord Mansion tonight."

A guard from the City Lord Mansion acknowledged the order and walked away.

The Blue Flame Cat in Tang Ming’s arms whimpered, and Lan Yancha, standing beside Tang Ming, glared, "Eat Silver Striped Fish? I haven’t even settled accounts for the trouble you caused, and you still want to eat Silver Striped Fish. If I had been a bit late, you would have been someone else’s Golden Threaded Cat on their table."

The chided Blue Flame Cat did not fear; instead, it meowed adorably in Tang Ming’s arms.

Han Ya laughed heartily, "It seems Senior Lan Yan, your granddaughter has recovered quite well. Want to eat Silver Striped Fish, huh? I happen to have a few; I’ll contribute them to fill your little stomach."

The Blue Flame Cat cub licked her paw. Though she had recovered significantly, she was still weak, and leapt onto Tang Ming’s shoulder.

Earlier, when Tang Ming rushed forward to save her and detoxify her, it gave her a great sense of safety.

Seeing his granddaughter’s state, a complex look flashed in Lan Yancha’s eyes as he glanced at Tang Ming.

Meng Liang had long slinked away, but Tian Huansheng remained with Lan Yancha.

They walked together, arriving at the City Lord Mansion of Tianpo City.

Due to previous arrangements by Mu Ta, Mu Ta’s wife Mo Yue had already prepared food to entertain Lan Yancha.

Lan Yancha did not stand on ceremony with the people of Tianpo City, and sat directly in the central seat. The Blue Flame Cat cub, previously nestled in Tang Ming’s arms, jumped into his arms.

Lan Yancha surveyed the people around the table with narrowed eyes and sighed, "Recently, the Central State hasn’t been very peaceful. Your intelligence is lacking, so you’re unaware of what happened on the Immortal Mountain."

"What does Senior Lan Yan mean by this? Could it be that something big happened on the Immortal Mountain again?"

Han Ya’s eyes narrowed, and he set down the cup he had just picked up.

Lan Yancha nodded, "You know of the Wilderness outside the Qingfeng Dynasty, right? Recently, an ancient Ascension Platform there, long abandoned, was suddenly activated, causing celestial phenomena. The old guys on the Immortal Mountain were stunned, and some even used the Great Movement Technique to visit the Wilderness. In the end, they were injured there and became tight-lipped about the Wilderness after returning."

"Is this true? But such matters shouldn’t concern small people like us, should it?"

Mu Ta was initially taken aback. Although what Lan Yancha spoke of seemed mystical, it sounded like the affairs of those big figures, unrelated to them, the small people.

Lan Yancha snorted coldly, "Unrelated? You should know that after those old guys returned to the Immortal Mountain, the atmosphere there changed. How many in the Taoyuan World can injure those old guys? Taoyuan World is probably about to become unstable."

The people around the table gasped, while Tang Ming’s eyes narrowed.

The Ascension Platform in the Wilderness mentioned by Lan Yancha could very well be linked to his ascension to the Taoyuan World.

If he could understand why the Ascension Platform suddenly activated and identify who injured those powerful figures from the Immortal Mountain, he might find out about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.

"Senior Lan Yan makes a valid point, but, as the saying goes, cross that bridge when you come to it. We need not worry too much. Allow me to toast Senior Lan Yan first, thanking him for sharing such secretive matters with us."

Tian Huansheng smiled at Lan Yancha and raised his glass.

Mu Ta and the others internally cursed him as a sycophant, but their faces were all smiles as they raised their glasses.

Meng Liang was infuriated by Lan Yancha and, upon returning to the Commander’s Mansion, unleashed his fury. Meng Zhong and the Hou Family brothers were greatly perplexed.

Hou Mang signaled to Meng Zhong with his eyes, and Meng Zhong coughed, stepping up to Meng Liang’s side, "Young master, what happened to you? Wasn’t it said something happened over at the market? Why the anger?"
