Chapter 818: The Three Giants of Wuji Island
"Hmm?" Yun Shuying was clearly a bit surprised. "Boss Xu, hasn't the 'Hehuan' poison you were afflicted with been cured yet? This poison is very easy to cure; you just need to find a woman you like."
"I've had a Divine Doctor look at it, and he said the poison I'm afflicted with is not 'Hehuan' at all!" Xu Tian's temples throbbed. "The poison I'm afflicted with is 'Lianli', which is said to be an upgraded version of 'Hehuan'."
"What?" Yun Shuying opened her mouth wide in surprise, then picked up the bag placed to the side and stood up to walk outside. "I just remembered I have something to do; let's chat next time..."
"If you walk out of this door today, don't even think about getting a single cent of the final payment." Xu Tian calmly watched the woman's body freeze as she went to pull the door handle. "Is the only reason you asked me to come over today to ask for money?"
Yun Shuying turned her head and gave a dry laugh: "Hehe... we're so familiar with each other, isn't it a bit distant to talk about money?"
"Then you don't intend to get the final payment?" Xu Tian raised an eyebrow.
"I want it, of course I want it!" Yun Shuying immediately sat back down in front of Xu Tian.
"Then tell me first, what do you plan to do about the fact that I've been poisoned?" Xu Tian raised his eyes and glanced at her.
"Hmm..." Yun Shuying frowned, looking troubled. "'Hehuan' still has a way to be cured, but 'Lianli' is more troublesome. First, you have to find someone and pass the toxin to her."
"But Boss Xu, you are so handsome and dashing; it shouldn't be difficult to find a woman willing to be poisoned for you, right? As long as it's mutual, isn't curing the poison just a matter of minutes?"
Yun Shuying's tone suddenly became gossipy.
"By then, you'll have cured the poison and gained a confidante; isn't this a business where you win no matter what?"
"And I've only heard of a poison like 'Lianli', I've never seen it before. Boss Xu, you're really amazing!"
Xu Tian:...
"So, your meaning is that I should also buy some firecrackers to celebrate?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Yun Shuying covered her mouth and smiled. "But you could give out some red envelopes to let everyone share in the joy."
"Get out!" Xu Tian couldn't endure it any longer.
"I was just making a joke to relieve the tense atmosphere; don't take it seriously." Seeing that Xu Tian was truly angry, Yun Shuying restrained her gossipy thoughts. "I see the atmosphere has
eased up enough; why don't we talk about some serious business?"
"You still have serious business?" Xu Tian snorted coldly. "Aren't you here to ask for money?"
"Asking for money is one aspect. Didn't I invite you to be a guest at my house before and incidentally see that little ancestor at home? Do you have time recently?"
"Is Mo Mo doing alright lately?" Xu Tian hadn't heard news of the little guy for a long time; the last time was when Qiao Jing Tian asked him to investigate Yun Moting's biological father.
"It should be the same as usual." Yun Shuying shook her head. "I'm usually not at home; he's usually taken care of by my mother and my younger brother. You also know that I have so many bounty hunters under me; I'm busy every day..."
"I have time these past two days; I can go to your house to see Mo Mo," Xu Tian said.
He really liked Yun Moting, and since Yun Moting had left in a hurry back then, he also wanted to go to the Yun family to see him.
"Fine, then I'll call you after I set a time," Yun Shuying agreed.
"Miss Yun, can you pick Mo Mo up from home and meet me?" Xu Tian thought for a moment and asked.
Actually, he didn't really want to go to the Yun family; after all, it seemed that neither Madam Yun nor Yun Moting's biological father wanted him to have any more involvement with Yun Moting.
And there was also the Second Young Master of the Yun family, Yun Hexian, so Xu Tian didn't really want to have contact with the people of the Yun family.
If he could let the little guy come out to meet him, that would be the best.
Yun Shuying seemed very surprised by Xu Tian's request: "That's so troublesome. If you want to see the little ancestor, you can go to my house anytime. I'll call Su Xiaoxiao, Ye Luoli, and the others over, and we'll have a barbecue. You don't have to worry; my home is your home. You can go see the little ancestor whenever you want in the future."
Xu Tian was speechless.
The eldest Miss Yun usually treated him as one of her own, but she was not soft-hearted at all when it came to asking for money.
"Then contact me after you've confirmed the time," Xu Tian compromised.
He would go see Yun Moting first, and wait to see if there was a chance to let the little guy come out to meet him in the future.
The next day.
Xu Tian went to the headquarters to process documents as usual.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chuan, Zhong Ling, and the others were busy running around looking for folk remedies that could cure "Lianli".
Some of the folk remedies were too outrageous, such as drinking centipede blood
and swallowing live scorpions, all of which were rejected by Xu Tian.
The sources of these folk remedies were unknown, and it was unclear whether they could cure the poison. If by any chance they conflicted with the toxins in his body, he would be the one suffering.
After returning to Kun Cheng, he still reported to the headquarters every day, incidentally processing some documents that required his signature.
And ever since he got drunk that day, Xu Tian could clearly feel the changes in the high-level members of the Azure Wolf Hall.
In the past, those people would pay lip service to him but not let him grasp real power.
But now it was different; Xu Tian truly realized that as the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall, he had real power.
In the past, whenever he wanted to push through a resolution, those old things would obstruct him in every possible way, only bringing him unimportant documents to sign.
But these past few days, not only could he access the high-profit businesses that the Azure Wolf Hall participated in, but the instructions he issued would also be immediately implemented internally, with no one jumping out to oppose them.
The high-level members who used to mock him and be sarcastic were now all transformed into sycophantic maniacs, wishing they could hold him up to the heavens.
While Xu Tian's actions within the Azure Wolf Hall were smoother, he did not forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He had tried to find out the reason for the change in attitude of these old guys.
However, some things could not be brought to the table for discussion, and Xu Tian was also worried that if he asked too much, he would be exposed. Therefore, up to now, he only knew that the attitude of those people should be related to what happened after he got drunk.
After he woke up that day, the attitude of Zhou Lao Si and the others had changed.
"Brother Yi!"
Just as Xu Tian finished signing a document, he saw Zhong Yu bouncing in from outside.
"I'll tell you a big piece of news: the people from the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa and the Luoyan Tang family's mountain villa have met on a narrow path and are now fighting fiercely, and their current location is right next to our territory."
Zhong Yu shared the gossip she had just learned with Xu Tian with excitement.
"Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa and Luoyan Tang family's mountain villa?" Xu Tian frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Both of these places were academies for training bounty hunters.
The bounty hunter industry on Wuji Island was ahead of other countries in scale, and there were countless places here for cultivating talent.
Among them, the three villas with the highest prestige were known as the Three Giants of Wuji Island.
And Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa and Luoyan Tang family's mountain villa were exactly two of the Three Giants. ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
