Little Tang looked flustered. She had not expected Mo Wen to discover her so easily.
“Why are you following me around?” Mo Wen asked lightly.
“I…I… Senior, I want to help you,” Little Tang stuttered. Her face was scrunched up, and she looked as if she was very worried.
“Help me? What do you want to help me with?” Mo Wen was slightly startled. Everything was fine. What did she want to help him with?
“That…That. Do you have any difficulties?” Little Tang asked carefully. “I can help you with anything, if it’s something that I can do.” She looked like she would do anything he asked of her.
“Are you here on behalf of your mistress?” Mo Wen’s smile slipped off his face. He had guessed why Little Tang had come to look for him.
“Senior, Miss really needs your help. Didn’t you say you can only treat her if there is a cause and effect? If I help you do something, will you please treat my mistress? No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will not reject you.”
Little Tang patted her chest and guaranteed her promise as she looked at Mo Wen with both hope and trepidation. She looked as if she was afraid that Mo Wen would immediately reject her. She had followed Mo Wen secretly to see if there was anything he needed help with. She could even give him a ride if he needed one, just like she had last time. She had even stopped right outside the school. The car would be there for Mo Wen whenever he needed it.
Her mistress’s cold illness was getting more and more serious. She was tortured every night by the cold and the pain made her feel as if she were in hell. Little Tang did not want to see her mistress suffer.
Furthermore, the miracle physician of the Medicine Hall said that her mistress would not live past 30. That was getting closer and closer. How could she not feel anxious?
Mo Wen felt that the whole situation was rather ridiculous. What could she help him with?
“Senior, think carefully. I can do many things.” Little Tang looked at Mo Wen with wide eyes that were filled with expectation. She was prepared for Mo Wen to make his request. She would immediately agree to it as long as she could do it.
“This is a difficult problem,” Mo Wen said helplessly, spreading out his hands. He could not think of anything that Little Tang could help him with.
“Senior, think again. Think about it again. I have a car, money, and… As long as you tell me your request, I will definitely try to help you get it done.”
Little Tang’s eyes grew red. If she could not help Mo Wen, then she truly did not know what to do. She had gathered up all her courage before coming to find Mo Wen. She had not let her mistress know about it. If she could not satisfy Mo Wen, she did not know if she would still have the courage to do this next time.
“Let me think about this again.” Mo wen shook his head helplessly. He was touched to see how loyal and protective Little Tang was of her mistress. He was going to help her and just think of a random reason.
His eyes shone as he thought of something. He said, “Do you know where the Crimson Star Sect is?” He had been thinking about going straight to the Crimson Star Sect directly to speak with the Sect leader. He had only just realized that he did not know where the Crimson Star Sect was.
Little Tang blinked. She had not expected Mo Wen to raise such a request.
“Senior, do you want to go to the Crimson Star Sect?” Little Tang’s eyes lit up as she spoke to Mo Wen enthusiastically.
“That’s right. Do you know where they are? I will help to treat your mistress as long as you take me to the Crimson Star Sect.”
“Alright, alright. I will definitely take you to the Crimson Star Sect. Even though I only know that they are in the mountains, Mistress will definitely know their exact location.”
Little Tang was very excited. She wanted to jump up and down in delight. Even though she did not know where exactly the Crimson Star Sect was, her mistress would definitely know. She did not expect that Mo Wen would ask for something so simple.
“Senior, hang on. I will go look for my mistress now.” Little Tang turned around and prepared to leave. However, she only took a few steps before turning back. She said awkwardly, “Senior, why don’t you come with me?”
The blessing had been so sudden, she was afraid it might slip away while she was distracted. As such, she would feel more assured if she brought Mo Wen along with her.
“Alright, let’s leave now. You can just get someone who knows the way to lead me there.” Mo Wen nodded. He could tell that Little Tang did not know where the Crimson Star Sect was.
“Let’s go. The car is outside. We can leave now.” Little Tang pulled Mo Wen along with her, afraid that he would change his mind. There was a Rolls Royce Phantom parked outside the school gates. It was attracting a lot of attention. After Mo Wen and Little Tang got in the car, they sped towards the city center. While they were on the road, Little Tang called her mistress, Wang Yuqing.
Wang Qinghan was inside a luxurious office, in the most famous commercial building in the capital. She sat at the head of the table in the office, people flanking her on both sides. They were clearly in a meeting. There were elderly people and middle-aged people. There was a document placed before all of them.
“CEO Wang, I don’t know how Dafang Sect had offended the Crimson Star Sect, but they risk being destroyed. Are we still going to work with them?” An elderly person closed the document he was reading. The document was a business proposal regarding the cooperation between the businesses under Dafang Sect and Blue Ocean Group. The elderly man was in charge of this matter.
But a major issue had happened within the Dafang Sect. Whether the proposal could be executed was a problem.
The people in the office were in charge of the businesses controlled by Zhongyu Sect. They worked between the ancient martial arts world and the modern city. They were in charge of a large number of resources and wealth and were no ordinary people.
Dafang Sect!
Wang Qinghan frowned when she heard them mentioned. She thought for a while and sighed. “That’s a pity. Lin Qing has strong business acumen and I wanted to work with them. But since the matter has become so serious and Dafang Sect is about to fall, I fear that we must give up on the idea of working with the Blue Ocean Group.”
Wang Qinghan sighed. If this had been anything else, she might have been able to represent Zhongyu Sect and help Dafang Sect, even if Dafang Sect had offended the Crimson Star Sect. However, the notice of Dafang Sect’s impending fall had already been issued. If the Zhongyu Sect were to step out and protect the Dafang Sect, it would be different. Their business cooperation with Dafang Sect might make them enemies of the Crimson Star Sect.
“Then CEO Wang, you mean that we should immediately terminate our contract with the Blue Ocean Group?” a high-ranking executive from the legal department asked.
Wang Qinghan nodded and said lightly, “Let’s move on.” She seemed to have thought of something. “What was Ghost Physicians Hu Clan’s reply?” Wang Qinghan asked an elderly man.
“I have already made the terms clear to them, but they still refused it. The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan’s old clan leader seems to be prepared to fight to the end,” the old man said somewhat helplessly. He frowned. Their cooperation with Dafang Sect was mostly because they wanted the advantage of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan’s medical and medicine making abilities.
That was why they represented the Zhongyu Sect and went to look for the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan after the notice of the destruction of the clan was sent out. As long as the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan joined the Zhongyu Sect, they would not only be able to avoid being destroyed, but they would also receive a great number of advantages.
They had originally thought that the matter would be easily settled. After all, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan were on the verge of being destroyed. They were as good as a savior to them. There was no reason for the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan to reject them. However, to their surprise, they had been rejected.
“Could it be that the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan would rather be destroyed with Dafang Sect than join the Zhongyu Sect?” Wang Qinghan frowned slightly. She had wanted to poach the most valuable clan of Dafang Sect. Zhongyu Sect was not willing to protect Dafang Sect because they were not valuable enough. However, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was extremely valuable. Furthermore, it was not difficult to protect a clan. The Crimson Star Sect would not make things difficult for Zhongyu Sect.
“That’s right. The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan is already prepared to live and die with Dafang Sect, ” the elderly man replied helplessly.
“Forget it. Since they are so loyal, there is nothing we can do. Let’s talk about the next problem…” Wang Qinghan opened a document. She was just about to say something when her phone started to ring. She frowned. She had two mobile phones. One of them would always be switched off during meetings. The other phone was for emergencies. It would not ring unless something urgent had suddenly happened.
“I apologize, everyone. Something must have happened. Let’s postpone the meeting.”
Wang Qinghan left the meeting room. She had already seen that it was Little Tang calling her. She frowned tightly. Little Tang would only interrupt her meeting if it was serious.
“Miss, come out immediately. No matter what you are doing, please come out immediately. I will come and pick you up outside the building now…” Little Tang’s hurried voice could be heard the moment the phone connected.
A car stopped outside a commercial building half an hour later. Wang Qinghan, who had been waiting for some time, immediately approached it.
“Wang Qinghan thanks Senior for your help.” Wang Qinghan got in the car and immediately thanked Mo Wen. She knew that Mo Wen had agreed to treat her for no rhyme or reason. Helping him find the Crimson Star Sect was just a random excuse he found. He could have found anyone in the martial arts circle to send him to the Crimson Star Sect.
After her conversation with Little Tang, she already knew what had happened. She knew that Mo Wen was on his way over and she immediately decided to postpone the meeting. Anything concerning Mo Wen was much more important than a meeting.
Little Tang felt bad. She could tell that Mo Wen was helping them without getting much in return.
“I need to go to the Crimson Star Sect to deal with something and need your help. Furthermore, you have a good subordinate. Perhaps this is the cause and effect,” Mo Wen said with a smile.
Wang Qinghan looked at Little Tang gratefully. She was surprised that Little Tang had gone to look for Mo Wen by herself.
“Senior, I apologize if I’m crossing the line. But are you going to the Crimson Star Sect because you have friends or relatives there?” Wang Qinghan asked curiously. The Crimson Star Sect was a top sect in the martial arts circle. They were powerful and wealthy and many people in the circle knew their location. Wang Qinghan thought that it was strange that this senior did not know. His cultivation levels were high, so he should know a lot about the ancient martial arts world.
“I’m looking for them to settle a debt,” Mo Wen said lightly.
“Settle a debt?” Wang Qinghan was shocked. She could immediately sense that there was an underlying meaning in Mo Wen’s words.
“Rest assured. You can just send me to the doors of the Crimson Star Sect. I will not implicate the Zhongyu Sect,” Mo Wen said.
“Senior, you have misunderstood me. I am not afraid of offending the Crimson Star Sect. They should not have offended you. If there is anything that you need the Zhongyu Sect for, please just ask. We will definitely do our best to help you,” Wang Qinghan said with a smile.
She was secretly shocked. The Crimson Star Sect had offended Mo Wen. She could already tell that they were going to be in deep trouble.
