Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 51: Eating, Cultivating & Thinking About Mei Gongzi
Chapter 51: Eating, Cultivating & Thinking About Mei Gongzi
For the next half-month, Tang San spent his days eating normally, cultivating, and thinking about Mei Gongzi.
Of course, he also spent time practicing actual combat with the Wang brothers and Ling Muxue.
Under his rigorous training, his companions improved rapidly, even faster than when Wang Yanfeng taught them.
After all, Tang San was the youngest. To the Wang brothers, being beaten daily by the youngest member was quite embarrassing, especially in front of Ling Muxue.
Being well-fed allowed their development to normalize. Wang Chao, being older, coped better with the tasks, while Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaolei were often distracted by Ling Muxue. It was bad for Wang Zhong, and even worse for Wang Xiaolei, due to their similar ages.
In the meantime, Ling Muxue was becoming closer to Tang San. With this dynamic, during practical lessons, the Wang brothers naturally tried even harder to defeat Tang San.
Another evening fell.
After Wang Zhong entered meditation, Tang San was about to go out for cultivation when he suddenly heard a noise. He immediately went through the window and climbed to the second floor.
Wang Yanfeng was already waiting there, and the visitor was the same tiger man from the other day.
He had put on a new mask. Without saying anything, Wang Yanfeng led both of them straight to the quiet room and shut the door behind them.
The tiger man looked straight at Tang San, "The higher-ups have approved your request. The preliminary plan has also been finalized."
Wang Yanfeng asked nervously, "What are you planning to do? Although Tang San is still technically just a random human child, he is almost a vassal. As his handler, I would be responsible if he suddenly disappears. Also, with the growth of the Redemption Society in recent years, the demon clans are now stricter than ever in their control over human vassals."
The tiger man reassured him, "Brother Wang, don't worry, it won't implicate you. We plan to start some chaos and use it as a distraction. In such a situation, the disappearance or even death of a small slave wouldn't attract much attention. We'll use this opportunity to take Tang San away."
"How will you create this distraction?" asked Wang Yanfeng.
"Remember the fourth-order Flash Leopard that Tang San killed in the Collision Contest? Well, as you know, the Flash Leopard clan and the Wind Wolf clan are mortal enemies. Since then, there have been several clashes between them in Kali City, and they only stopped when the city lord intervened. We'll find a way to guide the Flash Leopard clan to attack this place. Using this opportunity, we'll take Tang San away. As long as you protect yourselves, there should be no problem."
Hearing this plan, Tang San's eyes lit up; it indeed sounded like a good plan.
An attack by the Flash Leopard clan on the Wind Wolf clan's villages was nothing unusual for such sworn enemies. Minor conflicts had been frequent over the years. However, the nearest village of the Flash Leopard clan was hundreds of miles away, so disputes in this particular place weren't frequent.
A Flash Leopard attack on the Wind Wolves naturally had nothing to do with the human vassals. No matter what happened afterward, the blame could not be placed on Wang Yanfeng and the human vassals. The Redemption Society had some tricks up its sleeve.
Wang Yanfeng, having thought of this as well, said, "The scale of the conflict shouldn't be too big. Otherwise, I'm afraid it might harm our people."
"We will keep it under control. One of our elders will personally oversee this operation. If anything goes off track, the elder will intervene directly," the tiger man said gravely.
Wang Yanfeng nodded and then turned to Tang San.
Tang San nodded, saying, "I have no further questions."
"Good," the tiger man said. "I'll share the detailed plan now. Brother Wang, aside from you and Tang San, don't tell anyone about this. Including your wife. It's important for your safety later. I hope you understand what I mean."
"Yes, I understand," replied Wang Yanfeng.
The tiger man then took out a roll of leather and unwrapped it to reveal a map. It was a map of Wind Wolf Town and its surrounding terrain. freeweb novel.co m
He looked at Tang San and asked, “Can you read this map?"
Tang San looked down, then pointed somewhere close to the center and asked, "Is this our town?"
"Correct. Over here is Wind Wolf Town, and here is the road leading to Kali City. Over here is the residence of the fifth-order Lord of Wind Wolf Town, and over there lives the sixth-order High Priest. Once the Flash Leopards attack, they will surely take action. All attention will be drawn there."
"Our initial plan is to guide the Flash Leopards to attack from this direction. The area near the residence of the High Priest will be the main conflict zone. Brother Wang, on that day, be sure to gather all vassals and stay indoors to avoid accidental injury. Once the battle starts, an alarm will sound. Tang San, when you hear the alarm, start counting in your head. Start from one and count at this speed: one, two, three, four, five...all the way to three hundred. Then, leave the house and run toward the back of the town. To coordinate with your departure, we will assist the Flash Leopards in invading Wind Wolf Town to create chaos. Brother Wang, remember not to act rashly at that time. Protect the other vassals well. If a Flash Leopard approaches, feel free to engage. If you encounter vassals of the Flash Leopards, however, please don't kill them. Some are also members of our society."
"Tang San, make sure to memorize the locations on the map clearly; we will meet at this spot. I will be waiting for you there. Then we will leave here and head toward Kali City. Brother Wang, after the fight, you should just go and tell everyone that a Flash Leopard abducted Tang San. You can even go and complain to the Wind Wolf Lord. With that, our plan will be complete."
The tiger man then repeated the entire plan three times, emphasizing every location and every time point with Tang San and Wang Yanfeng. He made them repeat it to ensure they had memorized it correctly.
"The plan is as follows. We are scheduled to proceed in three days. I will return in two days to confirm the final time with you. Tang San, remember not to bring anything with you when the time comes. Just slip away quietly. The timing must be precise because we need to put some distance between you and the Flash Leopards, or we’ll be in deep trouble. If you’re late and you stumble upon the Flash Leopards, it’ll be really difficult to get away from them and all this planning would be for nothing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang San nodded, "I understand."
The tiger man said with satisfaction, "Good, that's all for today. I'll come back in two days."
After the man left, Wang Yanfeng looked at Tang San with a complicated gaze, "I didn't expect it to come so soon."
Tang San remained silent. In his view, the Redemption Organization had taken half a month to prepare to take away a small slave like himself. Considering the magnitude of their objective, they had taken quite a long time. Fortunately, the arrangements were meticulous.
Seeing him silent, Wang Yanfeng stepped forward, put his arm around Tang San's shoulder, and hugged him tightly, "Go, you should go there. With your talent, you can and should do more for humanity. If you find danger you can’t deal with, find a way to come back. Even without a legitimate identity, I am your teacher and I can protect you here. This will always be your home."
"Teacher, I will come back," Tang San said earnestly.
Wang Yanfeng smiled slightly and said, “If the place is as good as you expect, take the others with you later."
"Okay!" Tang San knew exactly what Wang Yanfeng wanted.
Wang Yanfeng took a deep breath. "Perhaps, I should do something as well. Let this be the beginning. As long as they can successfully take you away, I will formally agree to join Redemption and be their informant here."
"Teacher..." Tang San felt a warmth in his heart. In his mind, Wang Yanfeng had never been a coward; he was just doing what he could to protect his people, which was far more admirable than those who recklessly rushed out to their deaths.
