Chapter 435: Lao San's 3 Days
"Lao San, you didn't fucking kill her, did you? Three days, man, you're something else!" Mei Ziqiang said while rolling his eyes.
He had come by three or four times in these past three days. Every time, Tang Rao was present, and every time, he could hear the cries of a woman coming from the detention room.
"Kill her, my ass. A woman's gotta be handled to look beautiful. Like the saying goes, there are only overworked oxen, not overtilled fields, right?" Tang Rao said to Mei Ziqiang.
Mei Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously. Lao San's words were spot on.
Mei Ziqiang found that Lao San always had something impressive to say, and it always seemed dead-on accurate.
"Good, as long as she's not dead. Tu Sheng, that bird-brain, has already noticed his daughter is missing. Hehe, it's our turn to step in," Mei Ziqiang said, grinning.
"Hehe, Brother Qiang, we've gotta handle this from the shadows. We can't let Tu Sheng know who we are, if he figures out it's you, he might not show," Tang Rao said.
"What Lao San said makes sense. I've already planned it out, we'll move in secret," Mei Ziqiang said immediately.
Tang Rao stepped forward and yanked a Jade Pendant off Fang Ying.
"Brother Qiang, let's go. Tu Sheng will definitely recognize this Jade Pendant. He'll have to believe it then," Tang Rao said.
"Lao San, you've become quite something after playing around for three days!" Mei Ziqiang said.
"That's right. The longer I fuss over it, the more brilliant ideas come to me. Hahaha, that's why women are the best medicine for me!" Tang Rao laughed loudly.
In her heart, Fang Ying cursed Tang Rao twice viciously. This beast, having the nerve to say such a thing.
"Lao San, I've noticed you're becoming more and more shameless. But, I quite like this shamelessness of yours, hahahaha!" Mei Ziqiang laughed loudly.
Tang Rao: "..."
Shameless, you bastard. I'm still a virgin, dammit. If it wasn't to play along with you, I wouldn't say this crap, damn it.
With Tang Rao's guidance, Mei Ziqiang successfully had someone deliver Fang Ying's Jade Pendant to Tu Sheng.
Of course, apart from delivering the jade pendant, they also sent a message: Come alone to the outskirts of the Evil Ghost Forest after nightfall.
...
"Who the hell is it!" In the vast palace's back garden, Tu Sheng held the Jade Pendant in his hand, his eyes dark and grim.
Aside from himself, the only person who knew about his relationship with Fang Ying was Mei Fanghua.
Mei Fanghua definitely wouldn't reveal it, so how was the news leaked?
To know that not even Tang Rao would be aware that he had a daughter.
"Could it be the Soul Capture Pavilion?" Tu Sheng's brow furrowed.
The Soul Capture Pavilion had far-reaching influence; they could perhaps have found out about Fang Ying's existence.
But why would the Soul Capture Pavilion use Fang Ying to threaten him?
Could it be for the Dead Water?
Tu Sheng exhaled hard, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
To go or not to go?
If he didn't go, what about Fang Ying? But if he went, he would definitely be putting himself in great danger.
Moreover, he didn't yet know the identity of his foe. It wouldn't be good if he brought Mei Fanghua along and they were discovered. They specified for him to come alone.
...
As night quietly fell, Tang Rao and Mei Ziqiang had already taken Fang Ying to the Evil Ghost Forest. Of course, Mei Ziqiang also brought along two cultivators who had passed the Tribulation stage, which should be more than enough to deal with Tu Sheng.
"Lao San, do you think Tu Sheng will come?" Outside the Evil Ghost Forest, Mei Ziqiang asked Tang Rao.
"Don't know, he should, I guess," Tang Rao said.
"Hehe, I'm sure he will come. Even though Tu Sheng is a piece of trash and not a great person, Fang Ying is still his daughter after all. If he doesn't come, he really won't be able to justify it," Mei Ziqiang said.
Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders; this matter was really hard to predict.
Based on my understanding of Tu Sheng, this guy is not the compassionate type. He's extremely ruthless. If he thinks it's too dangerous, he might not come.
Half an hour later, Mei Ziqiang was getting anxious.
Because Tu Sheng still hadn't appeared, and the two late-stage Cultivators hadn't detected any trace of him.
Could it be that Tu Sheng really isn't planning to come? To not even save his own daughter? Can he really be such a beast!
"It seems that the pressure on Tu Sheng isn't enough. Tomorrow, I will send him one of Fang Ying's arms!" Mei Ziqiang said viciously.
"Don't bother," at this moment, Fang Ying suddenly spoke up, with a cold sneer, "Even if you send him my head, he probably won't care."
"Shut your mouth!" Mei Ziqiang cursed, feeling upset.
Such a good plan, and yet Tu Sheng, this son of a bitch, isn't taking the bait.
"Brother Qiang, wait a bit longer," Tang Rao said.
"Alright, we'll wait another half an hour. If he still doesn't come, we'll leave!" Mei Ziqiang nodded, as they were here already, waiting another half hour wouldn't matter.
Half an hour later, Tu Sheng was still nowhere to be seen. The surroundings were pitch black.
But for Cultivators, they could still clearly sense everything.
"Damn!" Mei Ziqiang cursed fiercely.
"They're here!" Just as Mei Ziqiang was getting ready to leave with his men, the two hidden late-stage Cultivators immediately sent a signal.
Mei Ziqiang was stunned, and Fang Ying also looked incredulous.
Tu Sheng is here? How could that be possible, how could Tu Sheng possibly come for me!
"He's coming alone," the two late-stage Cultivators continued to send signals.
Tang Rao looked at Fang Ying, whose expression had gone blank, and whispered, "It seems that he hasn't reached the extreme of being cold-blooded after all."
Fang Ying bit her lip and didn't respond to Tang Rao.
"Brother Qiang, I'll go into hiding first, as an extra precaution!" Tang Rao said.
"Okay!" Mei Ziqiang nodded, Tu Sheng was a pretty sneaky guy. If he had prepared some trick, having Lao San hidden would be an extra card up their sleeve.
Soon, Tu Sheng appeared in front of Mei Ziqiang.
Seeing it was Mei Ziqiang, Tu Sheng had a weird and surprised expression.
Why is it Mei Ziqiang? How did he know about the relationship between Fang Ying and me? Could it be Mei Fanghua told him?
Then, Tu Sheng saw Fang Ying behind Mei Ziqiang.
Seeing that Fang Ying was mostly unharmed, Tu Sheng also secretly relieved.
"Mei Ziqiang, what are you playing at?" Tu Sheng looked at Mei Ziqiang coldly, fire in his eyes.
I schemed and worked tirelessly for your sister, and you, you actually tried to trip me up behind my back.
"What am I playing at? Of course, I'm playing at killing you! Tu Sheng, I've disliked you for a long time. You think I don't know about your relationship with Fang Ying? Hehe, if you don't want people to know, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. I've known about this for a long time!" Mei Ziqiang said darkly.
Tu Sheng's expression was also icy.
"If you want Fang Ying to live, that can be arranged. You commit suicide in front of me, and I'll let Fang Ying go. How's that? Isn't that a generous offer?" Mei Ziqiang sneered.
"Suicide? Mei Ziqiang, have you lost your mind?" Tu Sheng scoffed.
From his hiding place, Tang Rao nodded vigorously. Tu Sheng, you're absolutely right, Mei Ziqiang really isn't all there.
"Then don't blame me, kill him!" Mei Ziqiang didn't want to waste more words with Tu Sheng and directly gave the order.
