Chapter 1335 - 1334: Unknown Heirloom
"Behind-the-scenes boss? Who is the behind-the-scenes boss? No matter how difficult, I must find a way to meet him once."Zhang Yishan's expression was so determined that even Zhang Wang was almost touched by this filial piety.
Zhang Wang was curious. Whose silly boy is this, thinking of one thing and then another, and even wants to spend money on a seventh-grade Youthful Appearance Pill just for filial piety?
"My behind-the-scenes boss is named Tang Rao, at the Kao Shan Sect. That's all I can tell you, the rest is up to you to figure out."
Tang Rao is the boss behind the Kao Shan Shop. These are not secret messages, and there's no issue of confidentiality.
Even if Zhang Wang tells it, it doesn't matter.
But Zhang Yishan, upon hearing this news, seemed unable to withstand such a huge blow.
"Huh? That villain? Your boss is actually that villain?"
Hearing Tang Rao's name, Zhang Yishan almost shed tears of despair.
"When did my boss become a villain? If you want Elixir Pills, don't say such things in front of him, or he'll get angry, and the pills you desire will flutter away like butterflies."
Zhang Wang wasn't joking with Zhang Yishan; he was very familiar with Tang Rao's temperament.
"But he is a villain; he wants to kill my father."
Complicated feelings welled up in Zhang Yishan's heart. Would he really let someone who wants to kill his father help him?
"Who said he wants to kill your father? Who told you our boss wants to kill your dad? Do you have paranoia?"
The term paranoia was something Tang Rao had taught.
"Young man, what's your name? Do I know you?"
Zhang Yishan was too naïve, a person like him wouldn't lie; saying such a thing must be because he heard something from others or was instigated by someone.
Otherwise, how would Zhang Yishan find Zhang Wang, and know he has seventh-grade pills?
This is news the boss might need.
After hearing Zhang Yishan's words, Zhang Wang became more alert.
"I am from Tingzhou Zhang Family, my name is Zhang Yishan."
Zhang Yishan revealed his family background.
He hadn't done anything guilty, so he wasn't afraid of Zhang Wang causing him trouble.
"Tingzhou Zhang Family? The one doing medicinal business, competing with the Song Family for the market recently?"
Mentioning Tingzhou Zhang Family, Zhang Wang instantly knew which Zhang Family this was.
"Indeed."
Zhang Yishan's words gave Zhang Wang solid confirmation.
"Then Zhang Xiong is your father?"
Upon Zhang Wang's second question, Zhang Yishan was also alarmed.
"Yes, so do you really intend to harm my father?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
It was rather interesting when Zhang Yishan cursed.
"Don't you have a brain? Our boss was invited by your dad as a guest, then Zhang Yuqi rushed up saying our boss killed his brother. You're naive, coming here saying our boss wants to kill your father. When did our Kao Shan Sect have a deep-seated hatred with your Zhang Family, that I'm unaware of?"
Bringing up Zhang Yuqi, Zhang Yishan felt entirely trapped in the matter.
"My cousin? How could my cousin say that? My cousin isn't that type of person."
The image of Zhang Yuqi was so noble in Zhang Yishan's mind, how could he deceive Zhang Yishan?
We're not discussing whether or not your cousin is that type of person now, we're discussing our boss being wronged. Do you know how resentful a person feels when wronged? Let's switch places; if you were wronged, how would you feel?"
Zhang Wang moved from business to lecturing Zhang Yishan.
To explain this matter, Zhang Wang didn't even care about his business.
"I didn't say your boss was wronged; maybe there's a misunderstanding between us."
Zhang Yishan, in someone else's territory, could only speak cautiously, unable to be too aggressive, as he still wanted to buy the pills.
"Misunderstanding? No way, there can't be even a misunderstanding. Right now you want our boss to do something; let's find him together and let him explain in person. If there's anything that we, Kao Shan Sect, have wronged your family, I'll have my boss give you a seventh-grade Youthful Appearance Pill so you can honor your elders. How about it?"
This is a win-win deal.
If someone were a bit more savvy, they wouldn't go.
Zhang Yishan disclosed so much; if someone truly wanted to harm him, they'd lure him to Kao Shan Sect, and the rest would be simple.
But Zhang Yishan wasn't clever; he was upright. He clung to a point, wanting an answer, and had to get it. People with simple minds are sometimes hard to communicate with, but sometimes that's not a bad thing.
"Then many thanks to the shopkeeper for bridging the gap."
Zhang Yishan bowed to Zhang Wang, and this courteousness made Zhang Wang feel a little embarrassed.
"No problem, no problem."
Zhang Wang led Zhang Yishan in a blink of an eye to Kao Shan Sect.
Tang Rao was personally arranging things in Kao Shan Sect for Tang Xiaobai's first birthday banquet, filling the entire sect with festive cheer.
"Boss, Zhang Wang is looking for you, and he brought in a stranger."
Today, Cha Xiangzi was on duty. When Kao Shan Sect members come and go, they are not strictly checked, but bringing a stranger in is a different matter. Bringing a stranger in required notifying Tang Rao.
"Let them in."
Tang Rao was still tying balloons, his attention not leaving the balloons as he spoke.
"Boss, I've brought you a big gift."
Seeing Tang Rao from afar, Zhang Wang shouted at the top of his lungs, afraid Tang Rao wouldn't hear him.
"Give me a big gift, delivering a living person to me? Still a man?"
Tang Rao wasn't that kind of person, and even if it were a handsome young man, that wasn't Tang Rao's style.
"No, this is brought along. Tang Xiaobai's first birthday, we as uncles don't have anything good, this Jade Pendant is for him; don't tell my father."
Zhang Wang took off a Jade Pendant from his neck, having worn it for years, the Jade Pendant had become much warmer than initially.
"What's this?"
Zhang Wang said not to tell his father, implying the Jade Pendant held some story.
Given Zhang Wang's feelings for Tang Rao and Tang Xiaobai, a gift from him surely would be precious.
"This is my Zhang Family's heirloom. Even though I don't know its purpose, just keep it."
Giving away a clueless family heirloom without hesitation, Tang Rao was left somewhat laugh-crying.
"Take back your heirloom; first tell me about this living person. He couldn't have been sent to me as well?"
Alongside Zhang Wang, Zhang Yishan beside him continuously shook his head.
He dared not mutter a word for fear of offending the great figure in front.
"No, you first take the item, then I will tell you who this man is."
Zhang Wang began bargaining with Tang Rao over the heirloom gift.
