Returning from the Immortal World - Chapter 585

Chapter 585: The Duty of a Boyfriend

Being able to solve the threat from Yao Qinglong was a bolt from the blue and was unexpected for Tang Xiu, more so that he learned some confidential matters as well. As for the existence of the Stygian Club, he had long known that such colossal powers existed in the world, such as the force that had laid their hands on his father. He had also sent people to investigate the Stygian Club and was sure that he would soon receive detailed information on it soon.

Wealth and armed forces were now the two most important issues that Tang Xiu put his thought into aside from promoting his cultivation. With a steady stream of accumulated wealth, unceasing allocation of the money to develop armed forces, and training a large number of elite martial artists would be required to have more power to speak in the world.

Inside the villa, Tang Xiu put all these thoughts in the back of his mind before imparting some medical knowledge to Dai Xinyue and returning to his bedroom on the second floor. Yang Le had left in secret, whereas Chi Nan had taken Yao Qinglong away and was preparing to bring him overseas in secret to receive his wealth.

Tang Xiu was not the kind of man whose words were so heavy like sacred tripods, for he too would sometimes go back on his word against a foe like this time. To those who were on his side, however, he always kept his promises.

The next day, just as Tang Xiu arrived at the campus, Mu Wanying stopped him at the campus entrance. She obviously put on some light makeup and a stylish dress, revealing her eye-catching distinctive beautiful looks.

"Sweetheart, can you skip classes today?" Mu Wanying smilingly asked.

Tang Xiu couldn't help laughing, "I'm a good student. I have never been absent without a leave. Anyhow, since sweetheart rarely speaks, it may not that impossible if the excuse is sufficient."

Pfft…

Mu Wanying covered her mouth as she chuckled, and then said, "Anyhow, the business I run kind of flourished recently, so I earned some money. Therefore, I'm planning to buy a house, and I'm going to stay in Shanghai to expand my wings after graduation."

"You want to stay in Shanghai? Why so?" Asked Tang Xiu, surprised.

"To avoid disputes and trouble, that's why," answered Mu Wanying.

"Are you talking about your family?" Asked Tang Xiu with a thoughtful expression.

The smile on Mu Wanying's face receded, a helpless expression replacing it. She nodded and said, "Though my family is not as big as your Tang Family, it's by far not as united as yours. If it was not because of pressure from my granddad, I'm afraid that my family would have been torn apart already. And recently, my granddad's health is kinda deteriorating. Though no major problems have arisen, yet… my big and younger uncles have already begun to stir up some troubles. With me staying in Shanghai to expand my wings kind of leaves a way out for myself in the future!"

"Your idea is correct." Tang Xiu nodded said, "It's necessary to avoid troubles if you're not ready to compete for power and authority. If so, let us go then! I'll accompany you searching for a house."

Mu Wanying let out a faint smile. There was something inside her heart that she didn't speak out. Her decision to stay in Shanghai to develop herself was not entirely because of the disputes in her family, as part of the reason was related to Tang Xiu. She knew clearly well that Tang Xiu wouldn't settle in Shanghai in the future, but he would stay for at least four years.

She was the type of woman who was very difficult to fall in love, but she would be dead set on the man she loved once she did. Despite knowing very well that Tang Xiu would continue to blossom in the future given his abilities, and for him to have only one woman was near to impossible, yet she wanted to fight for her own happiness. Thus she must take the initiative to secure her own place in Tang Xiu's heart.

Tang Xiu came to campus on foot, so the duo strolled back to the Bluestar Villa Complex and then went to the garage.

"This is… a Koenigsegg Agera R?"

As the electric door slowly opened, Mu Wanying saw the luxury sports cars parked inside.

Tang Xiu's eyes flickered as he suddenly remembered that when he went to Jingmen Island a while ago, his aunt, Tang Min, told him that there was a good luxury sports car abroad, so she had one ordered for him and had it delivered to the Bluestar Villa Complex.

He drove the Range Rover when he returned home and had it parked in the yard. He didn't open the garage back then, so he hadn't yet seen this sports car. Regarding luxury cars, he had never researched them, thus he was oblivious to their names.

Without waiting for Tang Xiu's reply, Mu Wanying hurriedly ran toward the sports car and found that it had been covered by dust. She then looked for a towel and a bucket of water before she seriously cleaned it, a new sports car presented before them.

Tang Xiu watched Mu Wanying doing the chore. After Mu Wanying finally dropped the towel into the bucket, he smiled and said, "Alright, let's drive this car out today since you like it so much! There's no harm doing this once in a while."

"It looks really great." Mu Wanying laughed. "I have seen the appearance of this car and its presentation on a car magazine, but I have never seen it in real life, though."

"Is this car very famous?" Asked Tang Xiu curiously.

Mu Wanying looked at Tang Xiu with a strange expression before saying, "The Koenigsegg brand really isn't that well known among the supercars, and its popularity is far behind the Ferraris and Bugattis. But this Swedish company's Agera R is equipped with a Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine that gives it a maximum power of 1,124 hp with a top speed of 440 km/h. The most awesome thing about this car is that it only takes 2.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h, and an awesome 11.7 seconds to reach 300 km/h. Do you know how much it costs?"

"How much?" Asked Tang Xiu.

"10 million yuan," said Mu Wanying with a serious face.

Despite having quite a fortune himself, Tang Xiu was still shocked by this figure. It never crossed his mind that his aunt, Tang Min, actually spent her hard-earned money like this. Before this one, the total value of those four cars was over 10 million, and now, this single car was priced at over 10 million yuan.

This… isn't this akin to him ruining his own family?

"What do you think?" Mu Wanying laughed. "Could it be that Big Boss Tang is scared by this number?"

"It's not like I'm scared by number. I just feel that its… way too extravagant." Tang Xiu shook his head. "Besides, 10 million is an amount ordinary people find too difficult to get in their lifetime. To think that so much money was spent on this car is really…"

"It's really strange." Mu Wanying commented, "You don't seem to know about your cars at all."

"I went to Jingmen Island a few days ago." Tang Xiu wryly smiled. "My aunt called me then, saying that she ordered me a car from abroad. Since she had already sent me four cars, so I was rather casual and ordering one again, as I thought that it wouldn't matter much. After returning, I've been driving the Land Rover the whole time. Since Chi Nan drove that car last night, hence it's my first time opening the garage door again after that. Who would have thought… it would be such a luxury sports car."

"Your aunt really loves you." Mu Wanying sighed, "Anyways, shall we go, sweetheart? Give me a drive around."
