My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1655 - 1654: Requesting the Alliance Hierarch to Come Out
"So you’re Su Xiaoxi’s friend, hello, I’m Liu Mengting."
Liu Mengting suddenly realized.
"I’m Li Xiaoli, hey."
Li Xiaoli hurriedly raised her hand, "Such a beautiful blonde sister, hey."
"Hello, I’m Ruisi."
Ruisi suddenly responded, unable to understand what Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi were up to, as the three were just having a jolly time, yet suddenly she became Su Xiaoxi’s friend.
"Alright, the school has already locked the dorms, I’ll go get two rooms."
Recalling his previous absurdity, Tang Ming hurriedly got up and walked out.
"Why two?"
Ruisi looked at Su Xiaoxi in confusion.
"Cough cough, Tang Ming also needs a place to stay."
Su Xiaoxi quickly explained, while giving Ruisi a knowing glance; even she found it hard to accept the absurdity between her and Tang Ming earlier, and if Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli knew, all hell would break loose.
Escaped from a peril, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli didn’t think much about it, hugging each other for comfort, very thankful that the kidnappers did not violate them.
Yang Guo and others returned to the city, coming to a villa near the school to rest, which was Yang Chen’s accommodation.
The few sat on the living room sofa, handling their wounds, battered and bruised.
"Damn that arrogant Tang Ming, just thinking about it pisses me off."
Tie Longzhan cursed between clenched teeth.
"Hey, we were outmatched, there was nothing we could do."
Yang Jin sighed while massaging Da Longnu, "But I don’t blame Tang Ming for this whole affair; we were all played."
"Right, the mysterious person who called us out to the outskirts was the real culprit."
Da Longnu nodded with teeth gritted, "They’re clearly trying to provoke a clash between us and Tang Ming, even hoping we’d die at his hands."
"That’s for sure."
Tie Longzhan nodded, "None of them are good people."
"The pressing question is, what do we do now?"
Yang Chen looked at Han Shan, "Regardless, Tang Ming framing Han Shan was wrong, we’re owed an explanation, and being core members of the Martial Arts now in this state, we definitely need some answers, right?"
"About my affairs... although I’m furious, Tang Ming wasn’t wrong; at the time, we were antagonistic, and him setting me up was understandable."
Having not spoken till now, Han Shan sighed, "But Tang Ming has repeatedly trampled on Martial Arts’ dignity, attacking us often; if we show no response, it would be humiliating."
"What should we do? Personally, I’m against continuing to fight Tang Ming, especially with an unseen hand ready for us to clash."
Yang Jin frowned, stating his position.
"I’ll listen to Jin."
Da Longnu took a stance of wife follows husband.
"My idea is to go after him; as the heir of a hidden family, I won’t accept this humiliation."
Tie Longzhan shouted between clenched teeth.
"What do you plan to do? His strength outmatches ours; unless we seek the family’s help, we can’t defeat him."
Yang Chen wordlessly glanced at Tie Longzhan.
"Asking the family for help over this matter is pathetic, and our backing doesn’t want us to cause trouble in the city; escalating things would only bring greater conflict."
Han Shan shook his head, looking at the others, "Affairs of Jianghu must be settled within Jianghu; considering the current feud between Martial Arts and Tang Ming, it’s reasonable to have the Alliance Hierarch intervene."
"Call on the Alliance Hierarch?"
Yang Jin and others fell silent.
"I can swallow my grievances, but Martial Arts’ reputation cannot fall; given Tang Ming’s strength, only the Alliance Hierarch stepping in can restore it."
Han Shan nodded, suggesting, "Requesting the Hierarch to see if a contest with Tang Ming is possible; if we win, letting Tang Ming join Martial Arts would make everyone truly become kin, resolving all enmities."
"What if we lose?"
Da Longnu questioned uncertainly.
"Well..."
Han Shan was momentarily speechless, gritting his teeth, "If we lose, we’ll have to accept the defeat, and Martial Arts would have no face to trouble Tang Ming anymore."
"Good idea, let’s heal first, then collectively request the Hierarch to step in."
Yang Jin raised his hand in praise.
None of the others objected.
Once consensus was reached, Yang Chen frowned, "Guys, I’ve heard the Liu and Zhao Families are preparing to avenge against Tang Ming; earlier, considering Tang Ming as a friend, I thought of asking my family to help stop it, but now..."
"Stop what now?"
Tie Longzhan impatiently interrupted Yang Chen, grit his teeth and said, "Not sending anyone from my family to deal with him is already benevolent enough; I hope the Liu and Zhao Families can kill him."
Yang Jin and Da Longnu exchanged a glance, without commenting; they may not seek family aid, but it’s not necessary to shield Tang Ming now.
"Let’s decide on this; we do only what’s within our remit, and don’t meddle in Tang Ming’s feuds with the Liu and Zhao Families."
Han Shan nodded solemnly after a pause, making his stance.
"Someone help me with the medicine, I got punched twice on the back and it hurts like hell."
After discussing serious matters, Yang Jin grinned in pain, complaining to Da Longnu.
That evening, Tang Ming slept alone in a hotel room, and Liu Mengting with Li Xiaoli shared one room, while Su Xiaoxi and Ruisi slept in another.
Though surrounded by four beauties, Tang Ming had to sleep alone; however, he enjoyed sleeping solo after being completely drained by Ruisi.
Deep in the night, Ruisi asked Su Xiaoxi about many of Tang Ming’s domestic affairs, never having shown any concern for Tang Ming’s specifics back home; she felt their bond transcended any past events.
Yet this time, Ruisi realized Tang Ming had changed drastically, compelling her to understand him further.
The next morning, Tang Ming received a call from Zhou Xiong; even using the Dark Group’s intelligence system, they hadn’t uncovered Ma Jiaran’s whereabouts, making him quite disgruntled.
At noon, Tang Ming had lunch with four girls, then escorted Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli back to school; Ruisi even volunteered to hang out with Su Xiaoxi, not clinging to Tang Ming.
Returning the two to the dorm, Tang Ming discovered Ma Jiaran hadn’t returned to school; it was as if they vanished.
"Missing without a trace; seems the mastermind is meticulous, probably has eliminated Ma Jiaran, making it impossible to find out the perpetrator."
Tang Ming muttered with frustration walking toward the dormitory building; it was Sunday, and students were off, so he could only stay indoors.
"Tang Ming."
While walking, a sweet female voice suddenly called out.
