Chapter 4026 People from Longhu Mountain

When I called out "Old Tang," I could clearly feel Tang Shangning's breathing become heavier. He suppressed his anger and said, "Speak your mind. I have a meeting soon and don't have time to joke around with you."

"Then you go ahead and get busy. I'm going to see Director Li Wenlong. This is a great opportunity to make a name for myself. I think you're almost ready for a promotion, so it's time to do Director Li a favor. Maybe he can look out for me in the future." I smiled smugly.

Upon hearing my words, Tang Shangning's tone immediately changed: "Xiao Jie, with our relationship, how can we let good things go to outsiders? Don't you think so? Hurry up and tell Old Tang what good news it is?"

That old fox changes his tune faster than turning the pages of a book. Just a moment ago he was telling me to spit out my words, but now his tone is so warm and welcoming.

Seeing his good attitude, I then briefly told Tang Shangning about the discovery of the Japanese arsenal in the old forest of Changbai Mountain.

Tang Shangning was extremely excited when he heard this good news.

"Xiao Jie, is it true? How much of the Japanese supplies are there?"

"There's a lot! Hand grenades, shells, canned goods that's been expired for decades, medical supplies... everything imaginable. They're everywhere in the cave. They even dug out two huge warehouses at the bottom of the cave, piled high with supplies. I didn't even see what they were. You need to send people over there quickly and get all the supplies out of that cave," I said hurriedly.

"Yes, this is no small matter. You've done another great service, and a major one at that." Tang Shangning was even more excited.

"No, it was all ordered by Minister Tang. I was just Minister Tang's henchman. It was thanks to Minister Tang's wise leadership that I was able to find these things," I said with a smile.

"Hmm, you've got potential, it seems like it's time to promote you," Tang Shangning said with a smile.

"Uncle Tang, look how far I've come all this way and how much I've done for you. Shouldn't I show my appreciation?" I knew the time was right and I couldn't miss it.

"Let's talk when you get back. I have a meeting coming up, and I have to go." With that, the old fox hung up the phone.

When I get back, I wonder what excuse he'll use to brush me off. Maybe I was too hasty. I should have told him about it after I got back, and then told him what it was all about after I got the benefits, so he wouldn't try to renege on his promise.

That evening, we arrived at the courtyard house in Yanbei. We had been quite exhausted from the trip to Changbai Mountain these past few days. When we got home, we ate the meal cooked by Uncle Hu and played with Huwa for a while. The little guy can walk a few steps now, and he smiles happily whenever he sees people. He's really adorable.

Once Tiger Cub grows up a bit, he'll probably start cultivating. Whether it's Old Zhang teaching him or Eighth Master, this kid has a bright future. Moreover, his seniority is extremely high. If Old Zhang teaches Tiger Cub, he'll be even higher in seniority than Little Fatty. If this little brat ever goes to Longhu Mountain, a bunch of old men will have to call him Grandmaster or Uncle-Master. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

So, after returning to my courtyard house in Yanbei, I rested well for two days.

Two days later, one afternoon, Eighth Master suddenly flew over from next door, squatted on the stone table like a fat quail, and beckoned Uncle Hu to bring him some melon seeds.

Seeing that Eighth Master looked unhappy, I took the melon seeds from Uncle Hu and offered them to him, saying, "Oh, Eighth Master, you don't seem very happy. Who dared to make you angry?"

Eighth Master ate two melon seeds and said angrily, "Someone from Longhu Mountain is here. They're discussing something with your Grandpa Zhang. I find that kid inside annoying, so I came out for some fresh air."

"Who's here?" I asked, very curious.

"Who else could it be but Li Chao? That kid's mouth is even more foul than Fatty's. I get angry just hearing him talk," Eighth Master said angrily.

"Dad, who bullied you? I'm going to beat him up." And just like that, he appeared.

Eighth Master was in a bad mood when Little Fatty called him "Dad" so affectionately that he almost fell off the table.

"Stay away from me." Eighth Master rolled his eyes at Little Fatty, turned around, and turned his back to him.

Eighth Master is very depressed now. He has Li Chao at Old Zhang's house and Little Fatty at my house, and neither of them are easy to deal with.

Seeing that Eighth Master was so angry he looked like a fat quail, I felt inexplicably happy, I don't know why.

I was joking around with Eighth Master when suddenly, Old Zhang from next door appeared on the courtyard wall, his hands behind his back, and glanced at me: "Little Jie, come here for a second, I need your help with something."

After saying that, Old Zhang darted back into the yard.

Honestly, this wall is unnecessary. We should just tear it down so he won't keep jumping around like that. He's so old, and still a celestial master, always climbing over walls. I don't even dare tell anyone, afraid people will laugh at me.

However, to be fair, I always ask him for help when I need it. Today, it's like the sun has risen in the west; this old celestial master actually asked me for help. I'm a little curious.

So he answered and swayed around to the neighbor's yard.

I really wanted to climb over the wall, but I was afraid that if I jumped over, Old Zhang would kick me back over there.

When I got to Old Zhang's living room, I saw two old acquaintances standing inside.

One is the Pure and Serene Immortal, and the other is Li Chao.

Li Chao was still the same as always, dressed in all black, wearing a bamboo hat, covering himself up completely, looking like he dared not be exposed to the light.

I first greeted Old Zhang, then bowed to Master Zhiqing, and finally smiled at Old Zhang: "Grandpa Zhang, what can I do for you?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Li Chao turned around and glanced at me: "Why didn't you greet me? Am I not a person? Or do you look down on me?"

This guy's words are infuriating; no wonder Master Ba keeps his distance. If it weren't for Grandpa Zhang's connection, Master Ba would probably have hung him on the wall long ago.

Last time, Li Chao held a grudge against me because of the Bloodflame Rejuvenating Grass incident, but we cleared things up later. It seems he still has a grudge, hence his sarcastic tone.

"Brother Li, I don't know how to greet you. You should greet me first. I'm good brothers with Xiao Pang, and he's your senior uncle. What should you call me?" I'm always quick to speak my mind and never suffer a loss.

Hearing me say that, Li Chao instantly became furious: "You really have no respect for elders. Don't you know who I am? Even the head of the Maoshan Sect is a junior in my eyes."

"Alright, that's enough. When are you going to change your temper? You mustn't be rude in front of the Celestial Master." Master Zhiqing tugged at Li Chao's sleeve.

I noticed that Grandpa Zhang didn't look too good either, but out of politeness, I didn't say anything.
