Chapter 2181 - 2177: I Make the Decisions
Tang Ming turned around and looked at the three people beside him, giving an embarrassed smile in response to their intense gaze, "Old Guo, if you say that, I’m bound to get arrogant."
The three of them, including Guo Muye, laughed aloud.
The previously busy Sun Xiu and Sun Mei in the courtyard are equally tense.
Rumors about Tang Ming are rampant in Tianpo City, and naturally, because of the Chu family’s deliberate spread, these rumors are unfavorable.
Things like climbing the ranks through connections. A young man with no abilities.
But some astute individuals can tell that there must be some backing behind this Hall Master Tang Ming. After all, the medical hall was defeated by the Chu Family’s pharmacy, yet none of the three giants in Tianpo City visited the medical hall to seek accountability.
In fact, they seemed to be standing on the sidelines, observing the spectacle.
"Oh, there are people at home. Zhou Mo, is this your wife?"
Tang Ming turned his head to see Sun Mei’s slightly upturned lips, which immediately made her blush deeply.
"Hello Hall Master Tang, I’m just a tenant here."
Sun Mei bashfully glanced at Zhou Mo before speaking.
Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Zhou Mo, seeing that he didn’t refute, and he awkwardly chuckled, "Big sister, I apologize for any offense."
"No worries, it’s hardly an offense. I’ve prepared some food, it’ll be ready in no time. Sun Xiu, come help me."
Sun Mei pulled Sun Xiu into the backyard.
Standing next to Tang Ming, Zhao Jian coughed, "Zhou Mo, if I haven’t mistaken, that woman seems interested in you. Why not speak up, leaving the girl in an awkward position."
"It’s not that I’m silent, it’s just that my father would never approve of us being together. She’s a huntsman."
Zhou Mo let out a long sigh; he had discussed this matter with Sun Mei before, but she didn’t mind.
Yet, in this situation, Zhou Mo always felt greatly indebted to Sun Mei.
Tang Ming, chuckling beside him, said, "What’s wrong with a huntsman? I actually think it’s quite good; an Immortal Doctor isn’t great at combat, so having a huntsman companion can at least ensure safety."
"Alright, Hall Master, no need to concern yourself with my affairs. Please, have a seat inside, and we’ll celebrate tomorrow’s success."
Zhou Mo laughed aloud.
Tang Ming nodded, following Zhou Mo into his home. Sun Mei and Sun Xiu quickly brought food over.
Tang Ming, being more adept at Immortal Chef techniques than Immortal Medical techniques, realized from tasting Sun Mei’s cooking that she’s definitely put effort into this.
After several rounds of drinks and five dishes. Zhou Mo called Sun Xiu over, "Hall Master, this is Sun Mei’s younger brother, Sun Xiu, the leader of the Silver Fox Demon Hunting Team. The matters you previously assigned to me, I entrusted to him."
Sun Xiu had long been eager, but without Zhou Mo’s prompting, he dared not speak. Now, hearing Zhou Mo’s words, Sun Xiu immediately came to Tang Ming’s side, "Hall Master, my name is Sun Xiu, Late Stage Foundation Establishment. I know much about the growth conditions of Immortal Elixir plants in the Tianpo Mountain. Could the Silver Fox Demon Hunting Team collaborate with the medical hall?"
"Oh? You know much about Immortal Elixir growth conditions on the Tianpo Mountain?"
Tang Ming’s face revealed a joyful expression, as this was precisely the type of talent he needed.
"Yes, my father used to want to train me as an Immortal Doctor, but I’m too clumsy and lacked the meticulousness for treatments, so it didn’t work out. But I did memorize those introductory Immortal Elixir identifications."
Sun Xiu smiled awkwardly.
Tang Ming nodded, "Sun Xiu, I will take charge of the Silver Fox Demon Hunting Team. From now on, your team will be affiliated with the Tianpo City medical hall. Your task is to assist the medical hall in collecting Immortal Elixirs, whether seeds, young plants, or fully-grown elixirs. Our medical hall will buy them."
"Thank you, Hall Master, thank you!"
Sun Xiu took a deep breath. This was what he most hoped for in his heart, as establishing a true relationship with Tang Ming was a vital path to securing benefits for himself.
"No need to thank me. I haven’t even thanked you for previous matters. Rest assured, as long as I’m the Hall Master of Tianpo City medical hall, your Silver Fox Demon Hunting Team will not fade away."
Tang Ming patted Sun Xiu’s shoulder.
Sun Xiu was overcome with excitement. Meanwhile, Zhou Mo coughed, "Sun Xiu, don’t get too caught up in the excitement. You’re ready for tomorrow’s action, right?"
"Rest assured, Brother Zhou, the brothers in the team have all been briefed. Trust me, it will be taken care of flawlessly."
Sun Xiu’s lips slightly curled as Zhou Mo looked at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming nodded and stood up, "Since you’ve prepared on your end, it’s time for me to move too. I reckon many are watching for my appearance. I will pay a visit to the three gentlemen this evening."
The news of the medical hall’s Hall Master Tang Ming appearing in Tianpo City spread quickly. This useless Hall Master, humiliated by the Chu Family’s pharmacy and who had been hiding for days, first visited the city’s three giants.
The people in Tianpo City are all aware that the medical hall’s counterattack has begun.
"What do you say, what’s Tang Ming up to? Does he really think the three giants in Tianpo City have the guts to shut down our Chu Family’s shop?"
Chu Kuang raised a glass and downed it in one gulp, looking at Chu Qing seated across from him.
Chu Qing frowned deeply, recalling the night he ran into Tang Ming in the medical hall’s temporary resting room.
Tang Ming, with his narrowed yet wise eyes, despite being weaker, easily wounded him using the Intestine Piercing Dog Poison.
"Be cautious and vigilant. Can’t let him exploit any opportunity. Inform Chu Lu, to double the medicine powder supply tomorrow at our Chu Family shop."
Chu Qing took a deep breath and exclaimed.
Chu Qing’s words left Chu Kuang slightly stunned, but he didn’t contest them.
An increased supply of medicine powder also profits the Chu Family, and with the current revenue of the Chu Family’s pharmacy, Chu Kuang is now a figure with real power in the family.
Those who used to be high and mighty, now address him as Young Master.
Chu Kuang knows all of this is thanks to Chu Qing. If Chu Qing were to say that the shop needed a new Manager, his father wouldn’t hesitate to replace him.
"Follow whatever Brother Qing says. Brother Qing, yesterday I picked out two girls for you, they’re stunningly beautiful. Want to meet them?"
Chu Kuang’s lips curved slightly, seeing the spark in Chu Qing’s eyes, his smile became even brighter.
With beauties by his side, the night was long, and only when the sun was high up did Chu Kuang and Chu Qing rise from their bedroom under service.
Seeing the two fully refreshed, Madam Zhu, who managed the backyard, approached with a cheerful laugh, "The two young masters are awake now."
