Chapter 1037: Healing Type

“Boss Tang, I heard that Tai Ning is under your wing?” Xia Fei raised his head and asked in a grave tone.

Everyone knew that Tang Wannian and the Tai family shared deep ties. Ever since the Tai family’s old man retired, it had been Tang Wannian who supported Tai Ning. Even this birthday gathering for Tai Ning’s daughter had been due to Tang Wannian calling the major movers of Red Dwarf Star to attend. Otherwise, how could Tai Ning have enough prestige to make those bigwigs to attend the gathering.

From this point alone, Xia Fei’s claim that Tai Ning was under Tang Wannian’s wing was not exactly ridiculous.

“We of the Tang family has a decent relations.h.i.+p with the Tai family, but—”

Tang Wannian did not get to finish speaking, for Xia Fei had interrupted him with a grand wave of his hand. “Bring out the man for Boss Tang to see.”

Several guards immediately came over with the apprehended Fu Yong. He was a fairly prominent name in his profession, so while Tang Wannian may not know the person, he did find him to be a familiar face, as if he had seen him before.

“Fu Yong, were you sent to kill me under the Tai family’s employment?”

Fu Yong nodded wordlessly. At this point, no matter how bold Fu Yong might be, he was not about to protest. All he could do now was acquiesce.

“Boss Tang, you’ve seen for yourself. It’s the Tai family who sent men to rob and kill me, including Boss Xiang. Since Tai Ning is under your wing, I’ll leave you to deal with the matter,” Xia Fei demanded rather unreasonably.

Strictly speaking, the relations.h.i.+p the Tang and Tai family shared was not one between a superior and a subordinate; what good ties they shared were merely private. Xia Fei was being a little obtuse and belligerent by looking for Tang Wannian to settle this score with such great fanfare.

Fu Yong was stunned. He had not expected Xia Fei to splash the Tai family with their dirty water. He opened his mouth and was about to say a few words that Xia Fei would not have liked to hear when, suddenly, fresh blood spurted out! The man then collapsed onto the ground, dead!

This had, of course, been all part of Xia Fei’s plan. Since he intended to go for the kill, he was not about to leave any potential trouble unresolved! After all, ‘only dead men tell no tales.’

Tang Wannian knelt, furious as he said, “What thoughtlessness from Tai Ning, to dare resort in such sinister means! Men, head to the Tai Manor and request an audience from them!”

Tang Wannian had already determined that it was Enya’s matter that had caused Tai Ning to attempt robbing and killing Xia Fei and Xiang Beiyang. He did not care about Xiang Beiyang, but as for Xia Fei and his unknown background, Tang Wannian could not afford to disregard them. To have attacked with a soul weapon and even managed to heal the soul of his granddaughter’s, Tang Wannian would not dare to provoke Xia Fei. This was especially so since he was far more eager to fawn over this newcomer.

The plan he had when issuing that order was to have Tai Ning come and take responsibility. He would, in turn, put in a few good words and offer some appeas.e.m.e.nt to Xia Fei so that he could keep Tai Ning’s life intact.

…

In the guest hall of the Tang residence, Xia Fei sat down with Enya in tow. Xiang Beiyang thought for a moment before he jogged to Tang Wannian’s side and sat with the elder. He was truly a merchant at heart, not forgetting to build rapport with Tang Wannian even at such a time.

Perhaps this was the first time she had been to such a lavishly decorated room, which was so similar to a palace, but Enya was behaving very restrainedly. The little girl had her two legs closed tightly and with her head lowered, not daring to look at anyone aside from Xia Fei.

Her tattered attire was not enough to hide her beauty; Xia Fei offered her a slight nod, instantly putting her heart at ease.

“Boss Tang, do you have a place for Enya to take a bath, and get a change of clothes?” Xia Fei asked.

Tang Wannian glanced at Enya and answered quickly, “That’s no problem at all. I’ll make the arrangements immediately!”

Very soon, two female servants came over to bring Enya to another room, which caused Enya to somewhat anxiously look at Xia Fei.

“Go ahead.” Xia Fei waved his hand.

Enya flashed Xia Fei a sweet smile and followed the two servants out of the room with her head lowered. Tang Wannian used the excuse of searching for clothes for Enya to wear in his granddaughter’s room and took a leave from the hall, ordering his servants to provide some supper for the room.

Returning to the study, Tang Wannian’s emotions took a long time to settle. Xia Fei barging into his residence all by himself had not only failed to arouse his disgust, it had instead caused this veteran old fox to become terror-stricken.

“Xia Fei wouldn’t dare to do something like this if he diddn’t have a deep enough foundation, right? No, this won’t do. It’s best if I ask Song Jinhu for his opinion,” Tang Wannian muttered to himself.

At this very moment, Song Jinhu was still en route after sending Tang Yingyue back. Receiving a call from Tang Wannian in the middle of the night was very strange. The moment Tang Wannian told Song Jinhu of what had happened, the Soul Hunter promptly furrowed his brows.

“Master Tang, you ought to know that only a Spiritualist can forge something like a soul weapon, so I suspect that there must be one behind Xia Fei. You need to handle this matter with Xia Fei very careful,” Song Jinhu said in hush tones.

“S-Spiritualist?!” The color of Tang Wannian’s face drained as he sputtered, “Do you really believe that Xia Fei has a relations.h.i.+p with a Spiritualist?”

Song Jinhu nodded. “Previously, I considered if Xia Fei is from a great family, and that’s why he owns a soul weapon, but upon careful consideration, this entire matter was too strange. October Flying Snow isn’t just a soul weapon, but it is a healing-type soul weapon!”

“While we’ve been chatting, Young miss Yingyue has already finished her supper and turned in for the night. I’ve been with your family for two years now, and honestly, it’s the first time I’ve seen Yingyue sleep so soundly. This just goes to show how beneficial this soul weapon has been to her body.”

“I don’t think that any major family would’ve so easily given just any member a healing-type soul weapon, rare as it is. If Xia Fei had known of the October Flying Snow’s worth, he wouldn’t have so easily sold it to us. As such, I could only arrive at the conclusion that Xia Fei has a great relations.h.i.+p with a healing-type Spiritualist and quality items like the October Flying Snow are hardly worth a second glance to that great master. Hence, Xia Fei very easily brought it out and veru casually sold it!”

Hearing his a.n.a.lysis, Tang Wannian broke into a cold sweat. Hearing that a Spiritualist might be backing Xia Fei and that they might even be a Supreme Spiritualist gave him too much shock!

Song Jinhu pondered for some time before saying, “You know as well as I do that the number of Spiritualists has become less, so any Spiritualists are fought after by all the major families, not to mention a Spiritualist who is of the very rare healing-type. Who knows just what sort of background this master has, which might be even more frightening than any major family!

“Since Xia Fei has made a ruckus in your plan, it’s clear that he’s not only deterring you but also expressing his stance; at the very least, he doesn’t see you as an enemy. Otherwise, if he spreads the word of what happened, forget about you, even the entire Red Dwarf Star will most likely be eradicated.”

Tang Wannian could already feel cold sweat dripping down his back when he heard that. He had already expended quite a lot of effort just to hire a Spiritualist like Song Jinhu and subsequently keep the latter around, so there was no need to imagine just what he would have to do for a Spiritualist. In fact, he might struggle to catch even a glimpse of the shadow of a Spiritualist despite the status he held. Many more major families out there were lining up waiting to fawn over a Spiritualist.

So Song Jinhu saw how disquieted Tang Wannian had become, so he consoled him. “Master Tang, Xia Fei seeking you is a great opportunity! It means that he’s showing you face. You should hurry up and close the book on this matter as soon as you can! If you end up provoking a Spiritualist, even my master will be unable to save you.”

With a wave of his arm, Song Jinhu made a swift, cutting motion.

Tang Wannian was shocked. Song Jinhu was evidently suggesting that Tang Wannian settle the Tai Family for good and help avenge Xia Fei!

Xia Wannian was no warrior, so he was having some difficulties making the decision at this crucial juncture. He had plenty of doubts in his mind.

This was when the communication device on Tang Wannian rang. Accepting the call, he saw the face of the warrior he had sent over to the Tai family. This person had left in such high spirits, only to now look as pale as if he had seen a ghost.

“Master Tang, there’s a disaster: The Tai family is gone!”

“Gone? Have they all run away?” Tang Wannian asked, puzzled.

“They have all been killed! Over a thousand lives! Gone! Not one left alive!”

*Thud*

As if Tang Wannian were seeing stars, he collapsed onto a chair.

From when the incident happened up until now, barely thirty minutes had pa.s.sed, yet the Tai Estate had been completely turned upside down!

“Master Tai, you ought to believe me now, right? From ancient times till now, few that provoked a Soul Master ever survived,” Song Jinhu said with a bitter laugh.

“What do I do now?” asked Tang Wannian, completely at a loss on what he should do.

Song Jinhu thought about it and said, “For Xia Fei to have obliterated the Tai family yet leave yours unscathed in such a short time, he’s clearly showing you face! Right now, the most important thing that we should do is figure out just what exactly his goal is?!”

…

Turning off the communication device, Tang Wannian was confused. Xia Fei definitely had a goal to have come knocking at his front doors in the middle of the night, but just what exactly was he trying to achieve? This entire matter had worried Tang Wannian sick, causing him to feel instantly older by several years.

He did not dare to let Xia Fei wait too long in the guest hall, so Tang Wannian bit the bullet and returned with his back bent, acting very respectful. The moment he saw Xia Fei smiling at him, Tang Wannian quickly smiled back, excepting his smile to be uglier than a crying face.

Xia Fei wrinkled his eyebrows. He did not understand why Tang Wannian would look like this after returning. It was as if he had just seen a ghost.

Actually, Xia Fei’s goal was very simple: He wanted to eliminate Tai Ning and his family. He was currently in the middle of recuperation after exhausting himself from killing that Soul Eater. Evidently, he had yet to make a full recovery, so it was best if he focused solely on recuperating right now, not causing anymore trouble.

From the time Xia Fei began on his path as a warrior up to this point, he had been famous for his ability to get into trouble. Right now, all he wanted was a few days of relative peace and get a firm foothold in the Alpha Universe.

Creating a ruckus as a victim in the Tang residence was all to separate him from the ma.s.sacre in the Tai Estate. Otherwise, if word got out, Xia Fei might have to leave Red Dwarf Star and might even implicate Enya and Xiang Beiyang.

Xia Fei, who had calculated this well, could even be considered first rate. Too bad that he had forgotten about one thing: soul weapon!

While the October Flying Snow was nothing to Xia Fei, it was still a soul weapon with the shocking healing ability! Whether Xia Fei was willing or otherwise, showing it had caused a great disturbance!

Tang Wannian had been feeling at a loss on what he should say when Enya came over from afar after was.h.i.+ng herself. Everyone turned to look at her, and all their eyes instantly sparkled!

Unknown whether this was intentional or otherwise, but the servant had actually given Enya a short skirt to wear! It was a black silken skirt to boot!

Enya appeared a little shy sitting next to Xia Fei, for her head was lowered, and she was even tightly clutching the hem of her skirt as she smiled gaily at Xia Fei.

“Do you know why the girls of the Crane Clan are valued so highly?” asked Radix with a devilish smile.

“Why?”

“Because they possess something other girls lack: grace and elegance.”

Xia Fei was startled. Despite Enya being no more than thirteen years of age and not yet an adult, she was already capable of exuding such an allure with every move she made. It was this air of seduction that no matter how hard she tried, she could not suppress. She could just not conceal the charm inherent to the ladies of the Crane species.

‘Since she already has such an effect while still so young, how ridiculous will it be when she grows up?!’ Xia Fei frowned as he wondered to himself.
