The Mightiest Little Peasant Chapter 384 - Another Encounter With Taoist Master Chang Qing

Chapter 384: Another Encounter With Taoist Master Chang Qing

Qin Xiangyi was laughing uncontrollably when she listened to all that.
“Ted in human form? Are you serious?”
Tang Hao nodded.
Qin Xiangyi continued laughing. “That Yan woman must be blind to find a man like that. Then again, she hasn’t been the sharpest tool in the shed.
“She brought this onto herself for trying to set you up.”
She wrinkled her nose and grunted, pretending to be angry, though inwardly she felt incredibly vindicated.
They had been rivals since university, and their battle had been finally settled decisively. She was the big winner, and Yan Lili would not be able to look her in the eye.
She suddenly turned to look at Tang Hao, as though she suddenly thought of something.
Her eyes stared at Tang Hao straight unblinkingly.
“To be frank, I was a little worried earlier that the guy might be you,” she said.
“How would that be possible?” Tang Hao laughed.
The corners of Qin Xiangyi’s lips curled upward into a mischievous smile. “Don’t tell me that you’ve never been tempted before? That Fang Ya is at least an eight out of ten!”
“I really didn’t!” Tang Hao said awkwardly.
He knew that it was all a set-up, which was why he was not moved by Fang Ya’s advances.
“Really?”
“Really!”
Qin Xiangyi chuckled when she saw Tang Hao’s serious face. “Alright! I was just pulling your leg. I know that you don’t have any feelings for that Fang Ya. Your beautiful personal assistant is many times more beautiful than her anyway.”
Tang Hao coughed lightly and felt even more awkward.
Qin Xiangyi had seen Han Yutong many times before because Han Yutong was Tang Hao’s personal assistant.
“I allow you to make mistakes, Lil Tang. You’re still young, and I’m not expecting that you can withstand all temptations…”
Qin Xiangyi leaned closer to Tang Hao and looked into his eyes.
“Sis Xiangyi, I…” Tang Hao wanted to say something but she covered his mouth.
“I’m not done speaking yet. I allow you to make mistakes, but…” she poked a finger at Tang Hao’s chest as she spoke, “This part has to belong to me.”
She leaned closer and kissed Tang Hao’s lips.
Tang Hao was stunned.
Qin Xiangyi smiled and held his hand. “Why are you still standing there? Let’s go! We’re free for the next three days.”
Tang Hao came to his senses, started the car, and drove out of the mansion.
The three people enjoyed their time in River Delta City for the next three days.
When they went back to Westridge, she was immediately caught up with matters in her clothing factory, while Tang Hao was also busy handling the preparations for the formation of Haotian Group.
For example, where the location of the new company would be.
They had rented a location near Haotian Co. Ltd. but Tang Hao was not quite satisfied. He wanted to build his own building for Haotian Group and call it Haotian Plaza. That would be very impressive.
He had told Liu Dajun about his idea before, to which the latter agreed immediately.
With Liu Dajun’s connections, obtaining the necessary finances and construction site would not be a problem. He would let Liu Dajun’s Brilliant Property handle that.
Liu Dajun was incredibly enthusiastic about the idea. He wanted to make Haotian Plaza a landmark of Westridge District.
The next two days passed by uneventfully.
One afternoon, Tang Hao picked up a call from Captain Gao.
“Hey, Brother Tang!”
Captain Gao’s hearty voice was heard once the call was picked up.
“Is there anything, Captain Gao?” Tang Hao was curious.
“It’s like this. Do you know this guy called, what was it again, Chang Qing? He’s quite old, probably fifty or sixty years old,” Captain Gao said.
“Chang Qing?” Tang Hao was taken aback. The name sounded familiar.
Soon, he recalled where he had heard of the name before. That must be Taoist Master Chang Qing, the underdog of Mao Mountain.
He had not seen Taoist Master Chang Qing for a long time. Their last encounter was in September of last year when Taoist Master Chang Qing was abducted by a bunch of werewolves, and he had to be saved by Shabby Taoist Master and the others.
Tang Hao had not seen Taoist Master Chang Qing ever since then.
“I know him!” He said urgently, “What happened to him?”
“Ah, it’s good that you know him. He was beaten up quite badly by some people. He was knocked out and thrown at the roadside. He’s now in the hospital.
“I found your name in his phone contact list, which was why I called you,” Captain Gao said.
Tang Hao was shocked.
‘Taoist Master Chang Qing was beaten up? What’s going on?’
Even though Taoist Master Chang Qing was not very smart and did not have a high cultivation base, he was nonetheless a cultivator and should have been able to fend against mundane people or weak ghosts.
Unless… there was someone or something more powerful?
“Captain Gao, I am friends with that person. Can I go over and visit him? There shouldn’t be any complications, right?”
“Other than the physical injuries, he’s fine. We’re investigating who had beaten him up. If you’re free, you can come over here too,” Captain Gao said.
“Alright!” Tang Hao ended the call and immediately went to the hospital.
Tang Hao met Taoist Master Chang Qing in the hospital ward.
He had just woken up. His face was swollen and bruised, and the corners of his eyes had crusted blood. According to the doctor, some of his ribs were broken, too.
When he saw Tang Hao come into the room, he struggled to sit up.
“There’s no need, please rest!” Tang Hao quickly said.
Taoist Master Chang Qing grimaced and laughed drily. “Long time no see, Fellow Cultivator Tang! I’m ashamed that you see me in such a sorry state!”
Tang Hao went near to him and sat on the bedside. “What happened, Taoist Master? Who beat you up?”
The injuries did not seem like they were caused by ghosts.
“Sigh! It’s a long story!” Taoist Master Chang Qing said sheepishly.
He paused for a while and spoke, “I was beaten up by a bunch of hooligans.”
“Hooligans?” Tang Hao was surprised.
“That’s right!” Taoist Master Chang Qing nodded. Then, his expression became serious.
“Fellow Cultivator Tang, you know about that Wang villain, right? I’ve heard from Senior Brother Xuan Ling that you’ve had an encounter with him before.”
“Indeed!” Tang Hao replied.
“Actually, I’ve been trying to track down this villain. I’ve finally gotten a lead, and I’ve been following it for the past few days.
“However, I was discovered when I was following them. They called over a bunch of hooligans and beat me up!
“I didn’t want to raise too much attention, which was why I didn’t fight back. That was how I got these injuries!”
Taoist Master Chang Qing shook his head and lamented his bad luck.
Tang Hao was curious when he heard that.
He knew that Mao Mountain had been searching for Wang Changsheng but had not found anything. [However, Taoist Master Chang Qing managed to find a lead!
He was quite surprised by that.
