After hearing that, all the Taoist masters were dumbfounded.
‘Meticulous and skillful with their hands?
‘Dammit, that sounds difficult!’
“How do we know if we are meticulous and skillful with our hands?” A Taoist master asked out loud.
“That’s simple! Embroidery!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Then, Taoist Master Qian Ji got someone to buy some embroidery items and distributed them among the Taoist masters.
Each Taoist master sat down with a needle and thread in hand. Their faces were flushed red.
‘Dammit, this is embarrassing!
‘We’re all men, and we’ve never had to touch needles and thread!’
However, they did not want to give up the opportunity to learn the technique, and so they began to try.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!” “Ahh!”
Cries of agony and misery rang out incessantly as their fingers were poked by needles.
They sucked their fingers and continued.
Some of the Taoist masters quickly grasped the skill and produced decent embroidery work. However, some others could not figure it out even after their fingers were filled with holes.
Tang Hao looked through all their work and selected thirty people.
Those who were selected were overjoyed, while those who were not were extremely depressed.
Chapter 723 - The Huaxia Cultivators’ Union
“You’ll do this first, then… and then…”
In a room, Tang Hao was teaching the Taoist masters how to craft jade talismans.
He was teaching them very carefully, explaining every step clearly.
The Taoist masters were also learning very seriously, memorizing every word Tang Hao said.
“Alright, so that’s the process of crafting talismans. The rest is up to practice until it comes as second nature,” Tang Hao said as he stood up.
“Remember to frequent the stone-gambling stores and get some jade to practice.”
“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
The Taoist masters got up and thanked him one after another.
“What are you thanking me for? Just practice and don’t make a fool of yourselves. That’ll be enough!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
When they walked out of the room, they saw Taoist Master Qian Ji and a group of white-haired old Taoist masters waiting outside.
“Come, come. Let’s have dinner together. It’s already dark. Why not stay here for a night?” Taoist Master Qian Ji pulled Tang Hao and said warmly.
It was hard to decline his kind offer, so Tang Hao stayed and had dinner with them.
After a few glasses of liquor, Taoist Master Qian Ji, “Brother Tang, I have something to discuss with you…”
“What is it?” Tang Hao was startled.
Taoist Master Qian Ji put down his liquor cup and said, “Brother Tang, don’t you think that our Huaxia cultivation world isn’t united?
“Recently, thanks to you, Brother Tang, the various forces have gathered together, which led to the last battle at Nanyang.”
Tang Hao took a sip of liquor and nodded.
Indeed, the Huaxia cultivation world in the past was not united. There might be the Agency, but it did not have a major presence. The cultivation families padded the numbers with their weaker members.
Mao Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain, the two greatest forces, were sworn rivals.
Worse still, Dragon Tiger Mountain consisted of a bunch of lazy cowards.
“I have an idea. Let’s set up a union to unite everyone, then make rules and regulations,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
“A union?”
“That’s right. Look, every industry has its union, right? Why shouldn’t there be one in the cultivation world? Your identification pendant system happens to make it convenient to set up a union.
“With the union, we can help each other and guide our cultivation world toward prosperity!”
Tang Hao pondered for a moment and got really excited about the idea. “This is great!”
“Exactly!” Taoist Master Qian Ji slapped the table and said excitedly.
“When the time comes, Brother Tang, you’ll be the president! If this were in ancient times, you’ll be the clan leader. How awe-inspiring!”
Tang Hao was surprised and said with a smile, “There’s no need for that!”
“Ha! You don’t have to decline. In the current Huaxia cultivation world, there’s no one more convincing than you. Who else can be the president?” Taoist Master Qian Ji said, “Only you, Brother Tang!
“Brother Tang, you don’t know how much the cultivation families admire you! As long as you say the word, they will immediately rush over.”
“Well…” Tang Hao was hesitant. “I don’t have much time!”
“That’s simple. As a president, you don’t have to do anything. If you need something done, your subordinates will do it.”
“OK!” Tang Hao pondered for a moment and nodded.
“Then that decides it. Come, let’s drink!”
Soon, the news spread out.
In an instant, the entire Huaxia cultivation world was in an uproar.
“What? Senior Tang is going to establish a union, and he’s inviting us to join? Hurry up and let’s go! This is good news!”
The cultivation families were all excited.
To them, Senior Tang was someone dependable. The union would be a good opportunity to ride on his coattails.
At that moment, they chartered a midnight flight and flew to Province J.
Meanwhile, Dragon Tiger Mountain was quite reluctant.
They were used to being carefree and did not like to be restricted. However, if they did not go, they would offend Spiritual Master Tang!
In the current Huaxia cultivation world, they could offend anyone except him!
“Whatever. Let’s go! If we don’t go now, how will we survive in the future?”
The heavenly masters set off for Mao Mountain.
The next morning, the people from the cultivation families and Dragon Tiger Mountain came. Even General Bai came on behalf of the Agency.
“This is a great idea, Comrade Tang Hao! Set up a union and manage everyone. Everyone can communicate with each other and develop together!
“The Higher-Ups are very supportive, especially when you’re becoming the president, Comrade Tang Hao. They trust your character, and they’ll be at ease when you’re in charge,” General Bai said.
The cultivation families and the heavenly masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain gathered together at the main hall. Most of them looked excited.
Setting up a union to unite the entire Huaxia cultivation world was a grand event!
Today, they were all witnesses to history.
When Tang Hao walked out of the main hall, they cheered loudly, “We support you, Senior Tang!”
Tang Hao smiled, waved his hand, and said, “I’m honored to have all your support! The purpose of this union is to improve communication and develop our skills together.
“Of course, it’s also to strengthen self-discipline!
“We’ll discuss the specific rules and organizational structure later. As for the position of the president…”
At that point, people started shouting.
“Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s you, Senior Tang!”
“Yes, we only admire you, Senior Tang! Apart from you, we don’t want anyone else!”
The old heavenly master of Dragon Tiger Mountain also said, “Only Spiritual Master Tang can be president!”
They knew that they would not be able to take the position, but they did not want anyone from Mao Mountain to be president, so they could only recommend Spiritual Master Tang.
Even so, no one in the Huaxia cultivation world could compare to Spiritual Master Tang.
He was a monster to have a high cultivation base at such a young age.
Moreover, he wielded a lot of influence. He was the perfect candidat
e.
Tang Hao smiled and said, “I’ll be the president by title. Someone else will still have to do the work.”
“That’ll be Elder Qian Ji!”
“Yes, yes! Elder Qian Ji has a high cultivation base and is also the leader of Mao Mountain. He is worthy of this position!”
The heavenly masters did not look too pleasant, but they could not say anything when they saw everyone else supporting that decision so enthusiastically.
“Since everyone has agreed, let’s choose him. Next, let’s discuss the specifics,” Tang Hao said.
The discussion started from early morning and lasted until late into the night, and only then they settled some fundamental issues. It took them another night of discussion to finalize all the details.
They wrote down their organizational charter, and everyone signed on it and appended their thumbprints.
The Huaxia Cultivators’ Union was officially established!
At noon the next day, the people left after a lively banquet.
Tang Hao gave some more pointers on talisman-crafting to the Taoist masters before leaving.
He did not go back to Westridge. Instead, he went to River Delta City.
He had promised Teacher Jiang that he would visit her at River Delta City. It happened to be along the way.
After arriving at River Delta City, Tang Hao gave Teacher Jiang a call.
Chapter 724 - Let Your Teacher Reward You
“Hello, Tang Hao!”
Jiang Wanying’s sweet voice came from the other end of the call.
The background was noisy, as though she was in a shopping mall.
“I’m in River Delta City now!” Tang Hao said.
“Really?” Jiang Wanying exclaimed. Then, she smiled and said, “I thought you had forgotten about our promise!”
“That won’t happen!” Tang Hao said.
“Then come and pick me up! I’m shopping now. How about… you come and stroll around with me? It’s only three o’clock! We’ll go to the wet market after shopping.
“By the way, I’ll let my parents know that you’re here.”
Soon, she sent a location, and Tang Hao rushed over.
From afar, he saw a beautiful figure standing on the street.
She was dressed in hot pants and a T-shirt, which flaunted the excellent curves of her body.
Many passers-by turned to look at her. The men could not keep their eyes away while the women looked at her enviously
Tang Hao slowed down his car and drove over.
She turned around and looked over in his direction, revealing her beautiful face to him. Her long black hair was tied up in a ponytail.
When she saw Tang Hao, she smiled brightly and waved her hand.
After parking the car, Tang Hao walked out.
“Let’s go shopping!”
She grabbed Tang Hao’s arm and walked forward.
The couple attracted a lot of attention as they walked along the street. Tang Hao felt pressured when so many people were looking at him.
“How many days are you planning to stay?” Jiang Wanying asked.
“Maybe one or two?” Tang Hao said.
“That’s too short!” Jiang Wanying frowned, a little disappointed. “How about a little longer? Three days! How about three days?”
“That’s fine!” Tang Hao thought for a moment and agreed.
“Yay!”
Jiang Wanying cheered, her face full of joy. Then, she leaned over and boldly kissed him on the cheek. She giggled when she saw how embarrassed he was.
“Why are you laughing?” Tang Hao said.
She pursed her lips and smiled. “You look so cute like that!”
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Tang Hao’s ear and muttered, “You’ve been a good boy, Tang Hao! Your teacher will reward you tonight!”
She giggled again when she saw Tang Hao blushing once more.
Tang Hao’s heart wavered when he heard her laughter. He was unable to withstand her charm.
“Let’s go and shop for some shoes. There have been many new products recently!” She glanced sideways, then pulled Tang Hao up and walked forward.
“Look! Look! This pair is so beautiful. Can you put it on for me?
“Look, does this dress look good on me?”
The two of them bought a lot of things.
“Let’s go to the wet market!”
At half-past four, the two of them went to a wet market and bought many food ingredients.
Jiang Wanying and her family had moved to a bigger house. When they arrived there, Tang Hao started to get busy in his kitchen while she helped him.
At around six o’clock, Mrs. Jiang arrived home first.
She was a civil servant who worked in a government agency, and she got off work on time. However, Mr. Jiang was busier because he was a teacher.
Even though they received a massive inheritance, they did not quit their jobs.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lil Tang!”
Mrs. Jiang came into the house. She could not help but smile when she saw the two busy people in the kitchen.
Tang Hao was a capable young man and had helped her family. She liked him, but more importantly, her daughter liked him.
She did not really approve of the relationship, but she would support her daughter if that were her choice.
“Let me help!” Mrs. Jiang put down her things and walked over.
“It’s fine! You can take a rest. We’re almost done!” Tang Hao said.
“Just sit down, Mom!” Jiang Wanying also said.
“Then… alright! I rarely get to relax before dinner!” Mrs. Jiang smiled mischievously and sat on the couch, chatting with Tang Hao as she watched the television.
“How long are you going to stay here in River Delta City, Lil Tang?”
“Three days!”
“Three days… not bad! By the way, are you going to stay in one room by yourself, or are you two going to stay together?” Mrs. Jiang asked.
Tang Hao was surprised and said awkwardly, “I’ll stay by myself!”
Mrs. Jiang smiled mischievously. “Alright, I’ll go prepare a room for you now!”
Not long after that, Mr. Jiang came back.
Dinner was ready. Tang Hao made all his specialty dishes.
“Lil Tang, your cooking is too good! As expected of the God of Cooking! Amazing!” Mr. Jiang could not stop praising Tang Hao as he tasted each of the dishes.
Tang Hao and Jiang Wanying went out for a walk after dinner. When they returned, it was already past ten o’clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had already returned to their rooms to sleep.
Tang Hao returned to his room, took a shower, and then laid down.
The sound of running water came from the next room. That was Jiang Wanying taking a shower.
A few minutes later, the sound of running water stopped.
After a while, soft footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
The door to Tang Hao’s bedroom was pushed open. She walked in, gently closed the door, and stood there shyly.
Then, she walked over with gentle steps.
In the darkness, her eyes were full of rippling light, like a pool of spring water.
“I told you that I’ll reward you!”
She smiled, closed her eyes, and kissed him.
Her movements were very gentle, as though she was afraid to alert her parents.
“Hao!”
Her gaze was unfocused as she stared at Tang Hao. Then, she gently pulled Tang Hao onto the bed.
After a long time, everything returned to normal.
Jiang Wanying, with her body curled, reached out to gently stroke Tang Hao’s cheek. She muttered, “I don’t want much. This is enough. I’m satisfied if I can see you occasionally and make out with you.
“I’m a teacher. Our relationship can not be made public. Even if you graduate in the future, it won’t be appropriate for you. So, this is really enough.”
They remained int
imate for a long time until she got up and said, “It’s already one o’clock. I should go to bed!”
With that, she leaned over, kissed his forehead lightly, and left.
The door closed. Her footsteps became softer as she returned to her room.
Tang Hao lay there in a daze.
Ding! His phone on the bedside rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Jiang Wanying.
“Good night!”
There was a cute emoji at the end.
Tang Hao smiled and replied, “Good night.”
In the next room, Jiang Wanying was curled up on the bed, pursing her lips and smiling sweetly. She put her phone away and fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 725 - Someone Is Causing Trouble
Early in the morning, Tang Hao woke up early.
He went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast.
“Good morning, Lil Tang!” Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang came out.
After a while, Jiang Wanying also came out. Their eyes met, and their expressions became awkward.
Mr. Jiang sat at the dining table reading a newspaper. Suddenly, he muttered to himself, “Sigh, young people nowadays are full of energy!”
Naturally, they knew what he was talking about.
In an instant, Jiang Wanying’s face blushed red.
“Mom, I’ll water the plants for you!”
She quickly walked to the balcony outside.
“It’s fine! You must be tired. You should rest more!” Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said.
Jiang Wanying was stunned, and her face turned even redder. “I’ll… go back to my room then!” She said.
Their meaning was obvious. They had heard what happened last night.
With her head lowered, she walked back to her room and began to groom herself.
Tang Hao was also extremely embarrassed as he fried the meat.
It was not until Jiang Wanying’s parents had gone to work that they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Come out and stroll around with me!”
Jiang Wanying pulled Tang Hao out of the door.
After strolling around the city center, Jiang Wanying suddenly said, “Oh right, I’ll bring you to meet my grandfather!”
Tang Hao was surprised. Then, he remembered that Jiang Wanying had mentioned to him that her grandfather was a doctor. Moreover, he seemed to be an expert.
