Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195
"My young master is waiting for you in the office, and said you can go find him anytime you need to."
Little Wen smiled faintly, turned around, and led Nangong Tianyue into Mo Hongsheng’s office.
As soon as Nangong Tianyue stepped in, Mo Hongsheng, who was standing by the window holding a wine glass, asked without turning around.
"Although we killed Tang Ming, his younger brother Tang Xin is more troublesome."
Nangong Tianyue sat on the sofa and grumbled unhappily.
"You, you’re sure Tang Ming is dead?"
Mo Hongsheng’s shoulders trembled slightly as he asked uncertainly.
"Tang Ming is definitely dead, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ve also cut off contact with Jun Tianhao’s hotel and took care of An Sheng to ensure we won’t be implicated."
Nangong Tianyue spoke with a steady face, swearing confidently.
"Is that so? Then why do I feel like we’ve been exposed already?"
Mo Hongsheng turned around, frowning as he looked at Nangong Tianyue.
"Why do you say that?"
Nangong Tianyue’s expression changed slightly, not understanding what Mo Hongsheng meant.
"Earlier when I went to buy the Detoxification Pill, Tang Ming asked me if I knew you?"
Mo Hongsheng put down his wine glass, frowning, "Afterward, I carefully recalled my behavior, Tang Ming couldn’t possibly know I know you, yet he still asked. Do you think that was a coincidence?"
Nangong Tianyue frowned, then said indifferently, "Though it’s suspicious, he’s dead now and poses no threat to us."
"What if he already told Tang Xin?"
Mo Hongsheng looked at Nangong Tianyue with disdain, thinking how dissatisfied he was with such a clueless partner.
Nangong Tianyue began to worry too; if Tang Xin really had suspicions, it would be troublesome.
"Let’s just be cautious; I’ve figured out a way to handle this trouble, hoping he wasn’t that smart."
Mo Hongsheng sighed and looked out the window, wondering if that guy was really dead.
Half an hour later, Chu Batian woke up, only to be startled upon seeing Tang Ming sitting weakly by the bed.
"Poison Boss, why are you here?"
Chu Batian quickly sat up, puzzled as he looked at Tang Ming.
"How dare you ask me, the Grand Elder of the Poison Sect, how you got tricked so easily?"
Tang Ming cast a sidelong glance at Chu Batian, "If it weren’t for my over-the-top cultivation, you and Xin Badao would be dead by now."
Chu Batian quickly looked at Xin Badao.
"My body feels so comfortable, as if it’s filled with energy."
Xin Badao woke up at this time too, stretched out refreshed.
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
Chu Batian stared at Xin Badao, feeling something different but unable to pinpoint what it was.
Looking up at Chu Batian, Xin Badao asked in surprise and doubt.
He couldn’t recognize the handsome young man in Chu Batian’s clothes.
"Sect Master, what are you joking about? I’m Chu Batian."
Chu Batian gave Xin Badao an annoyed look.
"You’re Old Chu? But why have you become young again?"
Xin Badao stared in disbelief, examining Chu Batian closely.
"I...you look much younger too."
Only then did Chu Batian realize what was odd about Xin Badao, now appearing to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"Hey, are you two done talking?"
Tang Ming looked at them irritably, "I’ve exhausted my power to achieve the effect of rejuvenating you two, shouldn’t you tend to me first?"
Chu Batian and Xin Badao came to their senses, quickly got out of bed, and walked to Tang Ming’s side: "Poison Boss, how are you feeling? Why are you so weak?"
"Isn’t it obvious? He must have been to save us."
Xin Badao gave Chu Batian a glance, then directly knelt before Tang Ming, "For saving my life and for giving me a new beginning, I, Xin Badao, have no way to repay you, but from now on, I’ll be loyal unto death."
Chu Batian responded quickly and also knelt to pledge his loyalty to Tang Ming.
This was someone who could restore youth; regardless of previous thoughts, they were now absolutely loyal to Tang Ming.
"Good, you haven’t disappointed me."
Tang Ming nodded in satisfaction, intending to feign weakness to give Xin Badao and Chu Batian a chance to strike.
He thought they’d take advantage of his weakness to kill him since he’d oppressed them for so long, but it turned out they still had some conscience.
"Poison Boss, what’s this all about? Why have we become so much younger?"
Chu Batian asked eagerly, looking at Tang Ming.
"I remember we were brought to this room by An Sheng, then fainted after examining the bed, inhaling strong poison. Why, now that we’ve woken up..."
Xin Badao furrowed his brow and began to recall, confused.
"You fell into An Sheng’s trap; he must have poisoned the sheets and bedding earlier, which is why you were poisoned."
Tang Ming squinted, speaking cautiously, "It’s a new kind of genetic poison, colorless and tasteless. If I hadn’t dealt with it before, there’d really be no way to save you. You should know the first time I encountered this genetic poison, I was powerless."
"Thank you, Poison Boss, for saving our lives."
Xin Badao and Chu Batian exchanged a wary glance before quickly thanking Tang Ming.
As Xin Badao and Chu Batian were performing their salutes, Tang Ming suddenly grabbed the cup from the table and threw it at Chu Batian’s face, causing blood to splatter.
Chu Batian screamed, holding his wound with one hand while looking at Tang Ming with surprise and suspicion, "Poison Boss, what are you doing?"
"Sense the changes in your body carefully."
Tang Ming reminded him expressionlessly.
Chu Batian was utterly confused.
"Old Chu, your wound is healing."
Xin Badao pointed at the wound on Chu Batian’s face in shock, exclaiming.
Chu Batian quickly sensed it and indeed found his wound was clotting quickly and starting to heal.
"I used my power to modify the genetic poison in your bodies. Now, not only have you regained your youth, but your bodies have undergone significant changes. Not only has your cultivation improved greatly, but your bodies now possess extraordinary self-healing abilities."
Tang Ming smiled, explaining with emotion.
"Oh my god, it’s already healed. This is too incredible."
Xin Badao stared in disbelief at Chu Batian’s face, which had no wound except for the blood.
"Don’t be surprised; your body possesses the same ability."
Tang Ming stood up slowly, stretching his muscles, reminding them, "I’ve put my heart and soul into you two; if you dare betray me someday, I won’t let you go even in death."
