Realm of the Night God

Feng Xiao's arrival brought some liveliness to the cold and quiet villa.

On the second day after she arrived at the villa, Bai Xue accompanied her for a whole day, and she was very happy, gradually accepting this new life.

On the third day, she started to busy herself with her own affairs, placing Feng Yaoshi's legacy in her bedroom, where she could look at it from time to time, reminiscing about the days she lived with her master.

Later, she moved all the alchemy materials into the Pharmacy Research Room and organized the various equipment and tools according to her needs.

Yang Haoran didn't bother with Feng Xiao's affairs, thinking that as an Alchemist, she should be able to handle these things herself. So, while Feng Xiao was busy, he quietly left the villa without saying goodbye to anyone.

Behind Yang Haoran's villa was a large mountain. Two hours after he left the villa, a sudden fluctuation occurred in the space on the other side of the mountain, in a very secluded area.

The space cracked open, and two figures emerged from the air, one in front of the other.

One of them was a tall, masked man, whose face was unknown.

However, this mask was special - it was a mask with a full smile, which gave people a feeling of kindness and closeness at first glance. But if you looked at it for too long, the feeling it gave was no longer kind and close, but rather a sense of unknown evil and hypocrisy.

The young man was none other than Yang Haoran, who had left the villa, and the masked man was Tang Shi.

According to Yang Haoran's orders, Tang Shi was still on a mission outside, but now he had appeared here, and was even with Yang Haoran. It wasn't that he had returned to Lecheng on his own, but rather Yang Haoran had personally brought him back.

At this moment, Tang Shi was a bit anxious, wondering what had happened and why Yang Haoran had brought him back to Lecheng.

Had he done something wrong?

Tang Shi couldn't help but think this, but after careful consideration, he realized he hadn't done anything to offend Yang Haoran or cause him trouble.

Could it be because he had made no progress during this time?

In his opinion, this was possible, but he was puzzled as to why the others hadn't appeared, and only he had been brought back. Had the others made progress during this time?

If that was the case, Tang Shi thought he must find an opportunity to explain himself to Yang Haoran as soon as possible, hoping Yang Haoran would give him another chance.

Just as Tang Shi was thinking wildly, Yang Haoran spoke up in front of him.

"Tang Shi, what do you think of this place?"

Tang Shi's heart skipped a beat at Yang Haoran's sudden question, wondering if Yang Haoran would ask him about this place being a burial ground.

Although he was anxious, Tang Shi didn't show it, and instead replied respectfully, "This place is very secluded and quiet."

Since he didn't know what kind of answer Yang Haoran was looking for, he chose to tell the truth, without trying to be clever or saying something flowery.

"No mistake, I like this place very much."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Haoran produced a bank card in his hand. Under Tang Shi's puzzled gaze, Yang Haoran handed the bank card to him.

Although he didn't know what Yang Haoran wanted to do, Tang Shi didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly received the bank card with both hands.

"I want to build a secret base here, and I also want to see your abilities."

As soon as Yang Haoran said this, Tang Shi's heart was overjoyed, and the suspended heart also let go. He had thought that Yang Haoran had personally brought him back to Lecheng to punish him, but from the current situation, it seemed that the reality was not as he had guessed.

"What are the master's requirements for this secret base?" Tang Shi asked respectfully, without showing his excitement.

"My requirements are not many. I need a lot of living space, followed by training and learning areas. The most important thing is to be absolutely secretive and confidential. As for how to do it, it's up to you. I'll only look at the results," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"I understand, master. How much time can you give me?" Tang Shi continued to ask respectfully.

"As for time, there's no fixed deadline. From now on, until I lose my patience," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

His answer was very cunning, and could even be said to be difficult for Tang Shi. However, he chose to answer in this way, naturally, with his own considerations.

But what surprised him was that Tang Shi didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave a affirmative response.

"I understand, I will complete the task in the shortest time possible."

Seeing Tang Shi's confidence, Yang Haoran nodded in great satisfaction and smiled, saying, "Then I'll wait to see the results. Don't disappoint me."

"Please don't worry, master!" Visit Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (МV-LЕМР-YR) fоr mоrе.

Under Tang Shi's respectful sendoff, Yang Haoran tore through space and left. Until the space rift completely disappeared, Tang Shi straightened his waist.

At this time, although Tang Shi was wearing a mask and his facial expression couldn't be seen, his emotions could be inferred from his exposed eyes, which were extremely excited.

Yang Haoran had personally brought him back from elsewhere and given him a task, which meant something. He wasn't unaware of what it meant.

Yang Haoran was looking at him, and this task was a test of his abilities. He dared to be certain that as long as he completed this task perfectly and to Yang Haoran's satisfaction, his future status and position under Yang Haoran would undergo a drastic change. He would definitely gain Yang Haoran's trust!

It was because he understood this principle that he was exceptionally excited at this time!

This meant an opportunity had come, and as long as he grasped it, he would soar to great heights.

On the contrary, if he missed this opportunity, his future under Yang Haoran's hands would be very difficult!

"No matter what, I can't miss this opportunity!"

Tang Shi clenched his fists in excitement, full of enthusiasm, but he didn't act immediately. Blindly doing things not only couldn't improve efficiency but also couldn't guarantee quality.

He stood still, his gaze slowly sweeping around, wanting to combine the local terrain to come up with a perfect plan, which could meet Yang Haoran's standards!

Yang Haoran had specially brought Tang Shi back from elsewhere and given him a task, wanting to see Tang Shi's abilities. Tang Shi hadn't analyzed it wrong.

If Tang Shi's abilities could satisfy him, he would immediately promote Tang Shi. If his abilities didn't meet his expectations, he would only reselect candidates.

It was because he wanted to see Tang Shi's abilities that he didn't give Tang Shi a deadline, but instead gave a very cunning answer.

If Tang Shi could complete the task within his ideal timeframe, that would be the best.

If he couldn't complete the task within his ideal timeframe, his evaluation of Tang Shi would definitely decrease significantly.

If he lost patience and Tang Shi still hadn't completed the task, he wouldn't do anything to Tang Shi. He would only think that he had misjudged him, but Tang Shi's future under him would be very uncertain.

Yang Haoran currently had eight ghostly servants, three malevolent spirits, and five evil spirits. Why did he choose Tang Shi? Because he thought Tang Shi was very clever. During his interactions with Tang Shi, he had seen Tang Shi's words and actions, and he thought Tang Shi had cultivation value, so he gave Tang Shi this task.

Yang Haoran felt that he shouldn't misjudge, but everything had to be proven by facts. It wasn't enough to just look; one had to see the other party's actual abilities. Coincidentally, he needed to build a secret base, so he might as well use this task to test Tang Shi's abilities.

As for why he wanted to build the secret base here, it was because the other side of the mountain was where his villa was located. Whether it was a sudden attack on the villa or an accident here, they could support each other in a short time.
