My Co-renting Lady Boss

The people living around Tang Mosheng all know that as long as you follow Tang Mosheng’s rules, you will be heavily relied upon.

But once you break the rules, the punishment you receive will make you regret violating them.

This time, Ben Ma’s request to stay and teach Tang Ming actually broke the rules. He is also Tang Mosheng’s trusted aide who has broken the rules the most.

Other trusted aides of Tang Mosheng find it very hard to understand why Ben Ma loves to disrupt the rules set by Tang Mosheng.

Yet, Tang Mosheng tolerates Ben Ma very much. Only Ben Ma understands that once rules are set, besides obeying them, they can also be broken. This breaking, however, must have traces to follow and not touch upon the bottom line of Tang Mosheng.

"Is he doing well?"

Tang Ming’s feelings were very complicated. He always believed that there was a reason his parents didn’t take him away during the Tang Family’s crisis.

Since he came to Taoyuan World, what Tang Mosheng has done makes it clear that Tang Mosheng’s love for him is profound.

The incident with Black Skull is enough to let many know that by declaring his love for Tang Ming, Tang Mosheng means that if you dare touch him, it is challenging Tang Mosheng himself, and he would destroy your entire branch.

This kind of domineering man is who Tang Ming aspires to be. But Tang Ming cannot understand why he doesn’t come to see him.

Ben Ma was silent for a long time, then said, "He cannot come. It’s not only you behind him; there are many who need his protection. Once he leaves, those he protects will be in danger. And as long as I am in Taoyuan World, you will be looked after."

"Yes, everyone has their duty. So can you tell me how strong I need to become to replace him and take on that responsibility?"

Tang Ming raised his head to look at Ben Ma beside him.

Ben Ma laughed, his whole body trembling as he laughed: "Really, you make me laugh. If the young lady heard you, she would give you a thumbs up, saying ’best of the day.’ There are too many people wanting to catch up to the master. But the master always says that before the Heavenly Dao, he is nothing."

Although Ben Ma didn’t directly reply to Tang Ming, Tang Ming could still understand through his words that the power of his father is something Tang Ming currently has no right to even aspire to.

"Alright, let’s head back."

Seeing Lan Yancha following those masked men, Ben Ma patted Tang Ming on the shoulder.

Tang Ming nodded: "Are you really going with me to West Continent Town?"

"Yes, the passage between Taoyuan World and the Immortal Mountain is about to close. I won’t stay long even when I get to West Continent Town. Tang Ming, listen, the adults once said that the foundation of the Immortal Mountain is Taoyuan World, but unfortunately, the fools of the Prison Cage Sect lack the ability to maintain it. Now the enemies of the Immortal Mountain have set their sights on Taoyuan World, and it is soon to become unsettled."

Ben Ma took a deep breath, clearly also very apprehensive about the enemies of the Immortal Mountain.

Tang Ming’s gaze sharpened, then he nodded: "The enemies of the Immortal Mountain you mentioned, are they those guys from the Demon Abyss?"

"Hahaha, you are teachable. Exactly, if I’m not mistaken, the Tower Master of the Water Dragon Tower has already turned to the Demon Abyss. Once the Demon Abyss connects with Taoyuan World, the Immortal Mountain will once again formally go to war with the Demon Abyss. The Immortal Mountain has its battlefield, and Taoyuan World has its battlefield. This is also the main reason why the Tower Master of the Thunder Dragon Tower wants to send you to West Continent Town."

Ben Ma’s gaze fell on Lan Yancha in the distance.

Lan Yancha’s body froze, and he gave a wry smile: "Senior, you don’t need to beat around the bush. I didn’t intend to hide this from Tang Ming. Since you, senior, have already told Tang Ming, then I will speak frankly. That area, West Continent Town, used to be called West Continent City, a fortress resisting demon cultivation in Taoyuan World. Only, during the last war between the Immortal Mountain and the Demon Abyss, West Continent City was annihilated. The City Lord at that time was Tang Mosheng."

"How did the Tower Master of the Thunder Dragon know about my connection with Tang Mosheng?"

Tang Ming looked at Lan Yancha.

Lan Yancha smiled: "I investigated you. I also know about the Sea Shark Gang’s tomb robbing activities and your skill in ’stealing heaven and earth’ is quite impressive. To investigate you, I went to the Qingfeng Dynasty and discovered that you are from the Wilderness and have a significant connection with that woman Hu Mei’er."

When Hu Mei’er was mentioned, Lan Yancha’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

Standing nearby, Ben Ma also turned around, surprised: "You have a connection with Hu Mei’er?"

"What’s the matter? She was the one who brought me out of the Wilderness. Do you know anything about my wife and daughter? They seem to have appeared on the Ascension Platform in the Wilderness."

Tang Ming looked at Ben Ma.

Ben Ma and Lan Yancha exchanged a glance, and both shook their heads: "This matter, I will report to the master, and the master will investigate."

"Alright."

Tang Ming nodded. It’s been a long time without any news of Xia Wei’er and the others, making Tang Ming quite worried.

The topic seemed to have diverged from there, and neither Lan Yancha nor Tang Ming brought up again how the Tower Master of the Thunder Dragon Tower knew of his relationship with Tang Mosheng.

After all, Ben Ma standing there represented that the Tower Master of the Thunder Dragon Tower should not be an enemy.

Shan Ze and Zhou Mo were anxiously waiting, and when they saw Tang Ming returning, Gehou was the first to come to Tang Ming’s side; "Is Chu Li dead?"

"Not dead."

Lan Yancha heaved a long sigh.

"Not dead? Not dead."

Gehou muttered to herself in a daze, then retreated to the carriage at the back.

Aunt Meng wanted to go over, but was stopped by Tang Ming: "Let her have a quiet moment."

"Does she have a grudge against Chu Li?"

Lan Yancha turned his head to glance at Gehou.

Tang Ming nodded: "She is the adopted daughter of Black Skull Souming. Souming was killed by Chu Li. I saved her."

"Tsk tsk, a hero rescuing a beauty. Not bad, not bad."

Ben Ma patted Tang Ming on the shoulder.

The elder Tang standing not far from Ben Ma coughed twice, seemingly reminding Ben Ma to mind the hierarchy, yet Ben Ma appeared not to care at all.

Elder Tang approached Tang Ming: "Young master, please forgive this old servant for not telling you about the master before. Without the master’s consent, this servant could not speak. However, this fellow Ben Ma has always had a loose tongue, he must have told you."

Tang Ming nodded, knowing that since Elder Tang said this to him, there was certainly something amiss.

Sure enough, as Tang Ming had thought, Elder Tang reached out his hand and handed a Jade Scroll to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming’s Immortal Soul entered into the Jade Scroll, and his eyes narrowed. Because the first line inside the Jade Scroll read four big words: "Divine Machine Refinement."

"This is what he asked you to give to me."

Tang Ming raised his head to look at Elder Tang.
