Chapter 114: Not Behaving? A Beating Will Do【3rd Update】
"They've all been defeated, even Guardian Gui was no match for him," Tang Jing murmured to herself as she frowned slightly and sat in her armchair.
Wang Zihao stood to the side, not daring to even breathe heavily, knowing full well what it meant to face a Half-step Grandmaster.
He couldn't understand how the good-for-nothing from the past had suddenly become so powerful today. His heart was filled with intense jealousy. Why couldn't he be the lucky one?
However, the consecutive losses of so many experts from Tang Sect, though not enough to cause substantial harm to its Qi energy, would definitely be a tough blow.
"But these are minor issues. When an assassin is killed, the Sects won't make a fuss," Tang Jing continued.
"The day after tomorrow is the day of the Sects competition. I believe my strength is not inferior to Tang Batian's, but even facing him, I can't guarantee a complete victory," she added.
Wang Zihao said, "Young Master Tang, how about we get Xu Hao to fight him? Even if neither can overcome the other, making Tang Batian bruised would still benefit us. Of course, if one kills the other, even better."
Tang Jing nodded slightly, "Indeed, if it really could happen, that would be the best. But the difficulty now is how to coax that blockhead Tang Batian out of seclusion."
Wang Zihao inquired, "Does Tang Batian have any weaknesses or hobbies?"
"He has never left seclusion, so there isn't much to say about weaknesses, just that he knows Kung Fu."
"Then it's easy. We can just do this and that..."
"Hahaha! Excellent! Brother Zihao, you indeed have a sharp mind and impressive tactics!"
Tang Jing and Wang Zihao exchanged a smile, everything understood without need for words.
...
When Xu Hao woke up the next day, he found that his wounds had completely healed.
Anthony marveled upon seeing Xu Hao bounding around after just one night, impressed at the miraculous nature of Huaya Kung Fu.
Right after breakfast, Xu Hao received a call from Chen Hai.
"Ruyan, Uncle Chen says that Chen Suyi wants to go shopping, but he's worried about her safety, so he wants me to go and protect her."
"Mm, you go on then, be safe. I'll take care of handing over the territory matter, and you sort out everything here. We'll return to Jing'an tomorrow or the day after," Liu Ruyan said obediently.
Anna then said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
A look of helplessness crossed Anthony's face; his daughter wanted to be involved in everything.
Xu Hao, however, said with a smile, "Of course that's fine, it's just a fun outing, there's nothing serious happening."
Seeing that Chen Hai had sent Xu Hao to accompany her, Chen Suyi couldn't help but snort coldly and walked out arm in arm with Anna.
Chen Hai helplessly said, "Young brother Xu, my daughter has been spoiled by me and has a bad temper. Please bear with her."
"It's fine, if a child is disobedient, a good spanking does the trick," Xu Hao laughed heartily and followed Chen Suyi out.
Shaking his head, Chen Hai was aware of Xu Hao having spanked Chen Suyi before, but he couldn't say much because his and Elder Chen Buyi's intentions were the same—they wanted Xu Hao to marry Chen Suyi.
At the moment, however, that seemed somewhat difficult.
...
When Chen Suyi went out shopping, she had to cover her face; if recognized, she might attract fervent fans, which would be extremely troublesome and certainly lead to being followed.
Sun's Shopping Mall.
This was a mega-sized shopping mall that incorporated department stores, clothing, furniture, and more, eight floors high with each level covering tens of thousands of square meters.
Chen Zhen mentioned from the side, "This is owned by the Sun Family of Huadu. It's the largest of the three major malls they have here. With an initial investment of two billion, its market value is said to be at least five billion now. The daily foot traffic is recorded in the hundreds of thousands. The Sun Family's assets are spread throughout Tiannan, but this mall is definitely their most profitable venture."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "The Sun Family's capital is known to be strong, and they have indeed been quite capable since their rise."
Chen Suyi scoffed, "What's the use of talking about it? It's not yours anyway!"
She felt she finally had a chance to tease Xu Hao.
To her surprise, Xu Hao responded, "Heh, how do you know it won't become mine? What if I just buy it?"
"Pff! As if! Everyone can talk big. Just watch your step, or you might be flattened by your own bragging!"
Chen Suyi snorted disdainfully and walked into the mall.
Xu Hao shook his head, wondering if he really needed to buy this mall to prove his point.
But he had no time to manage it!
Christian Dior SE Exclusive Store.
From a distance, it was clear that the items in this store were luxury among luxuries.
At this moment, Xu Hao noticed Chen Suyi's sunglasses were also from Dior.
Chen Suyi caressed Anna's cheek and said, "Anna, your skin is quite good, but even the best skin needs care. I often use Dior skincare and cosmetics. I'll buy some for you today; you should try them."
Anna pinched Chen Suyi's delicate cheek and laughed, "Sister Suyi, I believe I'm naturally beautiful, no need for any skincare products."
"That's not okay! The climate in Myanmar is dry; skincare is crucial. I'll buy you some to take back and try; you'll definitely thank me," Chen Suyi insisted, pulling Anna into the store with her.
