Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1294: Chapter 851: Stand-In Envoy

After Professor Cui left, it wasn’t long before members of the Esoteric Sect came to prepare a medicinal bath for Yang Xiao, and under the service of two alien race girls, Yang Xiao enjoyed a luxurious soak.

The Esoteric Sect’s medicinal bath was so effective that even Sheng Yanlin couldn’t help but praise it. When Yang Xiao woke up after soaking in the muddy bath mixture, he felt that the hidden injury on his left shoulder had healed considerably, especially the cold numb sensation had almost completely disappeared.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiao met with Tai Wenqin and Sui. Their injuries had also been properly treated, and seeing this, Yang Xiao felt relieved.

After some casual conversation, Yang Xiao retrieved the box earlier hidden in the Mirror World and returned it to Sui, thereby returning it to its rightful owner.

As a token of gratitude for Tai Wenqin’s assistance, Yang Xiao promised to share a Magic Artifact with him, but this would have to wait until Dean Sheng returned and decided what was in the box.

Although Tai Wenqin persistently declined, mentioning that Professor Cui had already paid before arriving, Yang Xiao insisted that a favor and a transaction were separate matters, and he couldn’t let a friend help for free.

Yang Xiao truly admired Tai Wenqin from the bottom of his heart. His character was unquestionable, and once he promised something, he would go to great lengths to fulfill it, even risking his life if necessary.

No wonder he had such a good reputation in the industry; Yang Xiao couldn’t help but think that the Provincial Office had truly picked the right person, and the money spent was definitely worth it!

However, after this incident, Tai Wenqin had managed to offend the Dharma Sect, and it would be challenging to do business on Yin Temple’s territory in the future.

In the morning, Tai discussed this with Professor Cui, who planned to take Tai Wenqin back to the country and find a position for him at the Provincial Office.

Of course, this was still Professor Cui’s plan, and whether it would succeed ultimately depended on Tai Wenqin’s own decision.

If he wasn’t willing to return, Professor Cui would meet with the Cannibal Buddha or other high-ranking Esoteric Sect members to promise giving up some profit in future business dealings with the Esoteric Sect, in exchange for better treatment for Tai Wenqin. freewebnσvel.cøm

"We could appoint Brother Tai as our Provincial Office’s overseeing Specialist in the Esoteric Sect territory, ensuring the examination and safety of goods exchanged between both sides."

"He’s a local, and his experience makes him much more adept at handling these matters than us, and we trust his character as well," Yang Xiao added.

Upon hearing this, Professor Cui nodded repeatedly, "That’s right, if he’s unwilling to leave, I’ll personally see the Director when I return and present your suggestion to him."

With Tai Wenqin’s situation settled, next up was Sui. Yang Xiao was determined to bring him back to the country. He’s practically burned bridges with Yiling Academy now; those people have gone too far.

Taking Sui back, first we’ll find Elder Pu, that Old Ghost, settle scores, Yang Xiao plans to beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

There’s also Sheng Youjun, that little brat. Yang Xiao won’t spare him either. Originally, he promised he would imprison Elder Pu at the Academy to repent for life.

Yang Xiao was almost certain that Elder Pu’s treachery couldn’t have been done without that brat’s influence. This master-servant pair are nothing but trouble.

Now, Yiling Academy is backed by the Dharma Sect, and the two are colluding together, while Yang Xiao, Sui, Professor Cui, Tai Wenqin, especially the old Dean Sheng Yanlin who was backstabbed by his own brother, and the Esoteric Sect forces are forming a united front.

Among them, Yang Xiao and Professor Cui represent the Patrol Defense Office of Jiangbei Province Office.

By every measure, Yang Xiao has decided to lend his support to old Dean Sheng Yanlin.

Should a day come when Sheng Yanlin personally executes his traitors and reclaims his position as Dean, Yang Xiao could be considered a Minister of Dragon, for Sheng Yanlin would never forget his kindness based on Yang Xiao’s understanding of him.

Professor Cui spoke even more clearly, suggesting it was an investment. When he returns, he will try to convince the senior officials at Jiangbei Province Office to provide all necessary support within their capacity for old Dean Sheng Yanlin.

Furthermore, once successful, Jiangbei Province Office will forge a covert alliance with Yiling Academy, which would be advantageous for both sides.

Every establishment of the Upper Three Bookshops is a heavyweight in the world of martial arts, having stood for years, with orderly succession and eminent masters rising steadily. Although they seem persistently neutral, maintaining amicable relationships with the three major forces domestically, there are always closer and more distant ties behind the scenes.

If Jiangbei Province Office could draw Yiling Academy into the Patrol Defense Office’s fold, it’d be a significant achievement.

After another two days of peace, under the care of the Esoteric Sect, Yang Xiao’s body recovered rapidly, now almost reaching 70-80% recovery.

At dusk, just after finishing his dinner, Yang Xiao received a visitor.

"Mr. Sheng!" Seeing the newcomer, Yang Xiao stood up excitedly.

During the absence of Sheng Yanlin, Yang Xiao never felt at ease; one part was concern for Sheng Yanlin’s safety, and another part was many unresolved questions.

Sheng Yanlin was dressed in Esoteric Sect elder’s clothes, with a yellow hood. Upon seeing Yang Xiao, he relaxed with a smile.

Yang Xiao quickly invited Dean Sheng to sit down, bringing a chair to sit opposite him, and after checking that no one was eavesdropping outside, Yang Xiao lowered his voice: "Senior Sheng, where have you been?"

"Esoteric Sect Royal City. They needed me to appraise some High-level Magical Artifacts."

Accepting the tea Yang Xiao presented, the parched Sheng Yanlin drank it all in one go. As soon as he returned, he came directly to check on Yang Xiao.

Knowing what Yang Xiao would ask next, Sheng Yanlin gestured downwards with his palm, indicating Yang Xiao to hold his calm.
