Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314

I don’t know how long it took, but Tang Ming hugged Su Xiaoxi tightly.

Su Xiaoxi cursed angrily, too nervous to move.

"Cough cough, low profile, low profile."

Tang Ming awkwardly smiled and quickly stood up: "I’m going to take a shower, you should rest well first."

"I’ll wash my hands first."

Su Xiaoxi cursed angrily again and rushed into the bathroom first.

"No wonder so many men are obsessed with women, this feeling is really irresistible."

Tang Ming murmured contentedly.

When a flushed Su Xiaoxi returned to the bedroom, Tang Ming immediately rushed into the bathroom to shower and clean up.

When Tang Ming returned to the bedroom with a towel wrapped around him, he saw Su Xiaoxi, wearing a cheongsam, hugging a pillow and already asleep. She had been too exhausted during this time.

"Finally understand what they mean by a warm bed being a hero’s grave."

Looking at the sleeping Su Xiaoxi with her exquisite curves and dazzling white legs, Tang Ming swallowed hard and quickly pulled the quilt over to cover Su Xiaoxi’s body.

If he kept looking, he felt he wouldn’t be able to control himself, it was too tempting.

Leaders of the Nine Families and the Ming Group faction, except for Meng Xiaolu who left the manor to return home, divided into two groups, each finding a place to hold meetings.

In the conference room at the Ming Group headquarters, Fu Tianbao, Wan Changfa, Zhao Jinchang, Qian Weiguo, and Wan Changshou sat in the smoke-filled room sighing.

"Gentlemen, now that Tang Ming’s strong return is irreversible, should we not look into the Ming Group’s loss of a large territory?"

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Tianyou discarded his cigarette butt and looked at Wan Changshou with unfriendly eyes.

"Yes, yes, previously Fu Tianyou led the Ming Group to reclaim all the territories, but Wan Changshou made such a big mistake just days into his tenure, it’s outrageous."

Zhao Jincheng immediately chimed in.

"What’s most infuriating is that Wan Changshou actually concealed it and didn’t report it. If we were informed earlier about the Ming Group being attacked, we could have deduced that Tang might have returned, and we wouldn’t be so passive now."

Qian Weiguo also looked at Wan Changshou with resentment.

"Gentlemen, please don’t look at me like that."

Wan Changshou hunched his neck and unwillingly defended: "Who would have thought that the long-missing Tang would suddenly appear, and with such terrifying strength, even Sun Zhuangjia is no match for him! No matter who was the deputy director, the result would be the same. How does it relate to me?"

"Hehe, when Fu Tianyou was the deputy director, he managed to suppress Tang without relying on Sun Zhuangjia’s strength."

Fu Tianbao sneered coldly, "Deputy Director Wan is quite capable, having such a Nine-star Martial Master like Sun Zhuangjia on his side and yet losing so much territory. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?"

Wan Changshou was at a loss for words, having grievances but unable to express them.

Back then, Fu Tianyou did suppress Tang Ming, but Tang Ming was only an Eight-star Martial Master at the time, and now he’s already a Nine-star Martial Master, completely a different level.

"Alright, alright, it’s come to this point, discussing Deputy Director Wan’s responsibility is meaningless."

Wan Changfa painfully rubbed his brow and said reluctantly: "Now that Tang Ming has risen sharply, possessing the strength to defeat Sun Zhuangjia, we should think of a way to deal with him, or else we’ll never see the light of day."

"A Nine-star Martial Master! What solution do you have to deal with him?"

Fu Tianbao asked Wan Changfa with a cold smile.

"Solutions are crafted by people, previously Tang Ming and Tang Xin were rampant, but in the end, weren’t they schemed by us?"

Wan Changfa mumbled in frustration.

"That’s right, back then Tang Xin was crippled, it was the credit of the previous deputy director of the Ming Group. Now that Tang Ming has risen again, we’ll wait for Deputy Director Wan to devise strategies to help us solve this issue."

Fu Tianbao looked playfully at Wan Changshou.

"I have no solution."

Wan Changshou’s face changed drastically, immediately looking to Wan Changfa for help.

"Brother Fu, can’t you stop targeting Deputy Director Wan?"

Wan Changfa looked at Fu Tianbao with displeasure, aware that Fu Tianbao was expressing dissatisfaction over Fu Tianyou’s previous loss of power.

"I’m not targeting anyone, am I not stating facts?"

Fu Tianbao snorted coldly, speaking seriously: "Previously, our families were powerful enough to disregard the minute losses of the Ming Group. But this time, Sun Zhuangjia wrecked us, costing each family tens of billions in assets and interests, only to benefit Tang Ming. Now, every single cent of the Ming Group is crucial to us, severely depleted, and naturally must be scrutinized."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Unlike before when only the Ming Group lost territory and interests, this time the four families of the Ming Group faction all suffered a loss of Primordial Energy.

In this episode, compared to the Dark Group faction, their previously held wealth advantage was thoroughly depleted.

"A Nine-star Martial Master! No matter how unwilling we are, faced with a Nine-star Martial Master, we can only submit."

Wan Changfa sighed helplessly.

"We hope Tang Ming can keep his word and remain neutral in the future, otherwise we have no way to oppose him."

Qian Weiguo shook his head repeatedly in apprehension.

Fu Tianbao shook his head solemnly: "He was previously a member of the Dark Group faction, and is now a son-in-law of the Su Family, ally to the Lin Family, and debtor to the Wu Family. It’s impossible for him to remain neutral as he claims."

"Brother Fu is right."

Zhao Jincheng nodded in agreement.

Just then, Yan Qinglong hurriedly barged into the conference room.

"All flustered, what kind of decorum is this?"

Wan Changshou angrily shouted at Yan Qinglong.

"Director, gentlemen, we just received intelligence that it’s been discovered how Tang Ming escaped."

The pale-faced Yan Qinglong wiped his cold sweat and reported fearfully.

Everyone immediately sat up straight, staring intently at Yan Qinglong.

"Based on the intelligence reports, the Medicine Sect... the Medicine Sect has already been wiped out by Tang Ming, the entire sect, except for women and children, were all killed by Tang Xin."

Yan Qinglong calmed his emotions and said dreadfully: "And now, the Medicine Sect’s location is filled with poisonous creatures, it has become a no-man’s land. The five intelligence personnel who entered from the Ming Group all died inside. We could only gather this intel from the surviving survivors."
