Chapter 1743: Some joy in my heart
After hearing what Tang Bao said, the old man shook his head like a rattle.
He's not stupid.
From the expressions of Tang Bao and others, one can also sense that there must be something special about this wood.
Of course, good things should be kept for the master!
"Uncle, since this girl wants it, just give it to her!"
A triumphant voice came from behind the crowd.
Tang Bao turned around and saw Jing Man standing behind everyone with a flushed face.
By the way, Jing Man has been living a very comfortable life these days.
Shi Liu's rain-praying dance gave Jing Man hope of revenge for his son.
At the same time, Taylor was stripped of his power by the high priest, which gave Jing Man a lot of room to operate in Xiacheng.
As a result, Jing Man took frequent actions and secretly put many obstacles in Taylor's way.
Tang Bao was not surprised to meet Jing Man in Chuncheng.
She would find it incredible if Jing Man didn't appear in front of her.
Even Tang Bao was a little surprised that Jing Man was so patient and didn't come to him until now.
When the old man saw Jing Man, he immediately bowed.
"Meet the master."
Jing Man waved his hand.
Then, he looked at Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao with a smile on his face.
"It's just a set of furniture. Since Miss Su wants it, Jing Man will send it to her as a gift."
Tang Bao declined politely: "No reward without merit, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want the furniture."
No way!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although, they are just "plastic friends."
However, you can only feel at ease if you accept the things given by your "plastic friends", right?
Since she is willing to cooperate with Jing Man, Tang Bao will certainly not refuse.
But you still have to be polite when you talk.
After hearing Tang Bao's refusal, Jing Man said, "Miss Su, please don't rush to refuse. This is not the place to talk. The teahouse in front is my property. How about you all move over there and talk?"
Jing Man pointed to a stilt house not far away.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other, and both understood what the other meant.
"Okay, I'm a little thirsty, let's go over and have some tea." Tang Bao said.
Jing Man's face showed joy when he heard this. After giving a wink to the old man selling goods, he led everyone to the teahouse.
When the steward of the teahouse saw the master bringing guests, he respectfully led everyone into the most luxurious private room and personally served them the best tea and cakes.
After the steward left, Jing Man got straight to the point and said, "Young Master Yang is young and promising, with great ambitions. I'm sure he doesn't want to be taken into the harem by that vicious woman Yi Mo, and end up being used as a medicine man for drug testing, and ultimately lose his life, right?"
Xuanyuan Jin's face immediately turned cold.
He put the tea in his hand down without even touching it.
Although he was very frugal with his words and didn't say anything, his hawk-like sharp eyes said it all.
Tang Bao took a sip of the fragrant tea, a curious expression on her face, and asked in a puzzled manner: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that the men Yi Mo recruited were eventually used by her to test drugs?"
"That's right! That woman appears noble and aloof on the surface, but she's actually quite dissolute and vicious behind the scenes. Not only does she treat human life as worthless, she also forcibly snatches away handsome men. She'll use any means necessary to abduct any man she likes..."
Jing Man's face was full of hatred, and he wished he could eat Yi Mo alive!
That's how his only son died at Yi Mo's hands!
Tang Bao and others also secretly investigated some things about Yi Mo, but what they knew was always limited.
After hearing Yi Mo's story, everyone's faces showed shock.
"No one punished her?" Xia Siya asked in disbelief, "The high priest doesn't care either?"
Jing Man sighed and said, "The High Priest has been living in seclusion these past few years. He rarely comes out unless it's a matter of life and death for Southern Xinjiang. How could he know this? Moreover—"
Jing Man paused, then continued, "Yi Mo has been recognized as the successor to the High Priest. Even the people from Zhang Laohui dare not punish her."
"Hmph! This only shows that the high priest is blind and has no idea how to judge people. He is not worthy of being a high priest!" Pomegranate snorted coldly and said.
Jing Man showed an expression of approval on his face, but after looking at Shi Liu, he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Princess Linghua sighed, "That Yi Mo, in his entire life, has probably only suffered at the hands of the young lady?"
Princess Linghua said this and glanced at Tang Bao.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
Especially Jing Man, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Tang Bao.
Jing Man took great pains to send people to investigate what happened after Tang Bao and Yi Mo met.
That's why he came to us for cooperation.
"Miss Su and Young Master Yang are a match made in heaven. As long as Miss Su is around, no matter how ruthless Yi Mo is, he will never be able to touch Young Master Yang." Jing Man said confidently.
Tang Bao: “…”
What is a match made in heaven?
Can this be applied to me and my brother?
Why do these people think that my brother and I are a couple?
Tang Bao was also speechless.
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed, he glanced at Tang Bao, and picked up the teacup again.
For some reason, after hearing Jing Man's words, he should have been angry, but he felt a little happy in his heart.
"Let's be frank. Yi Mo and I have an irreconcilable feud." Jing Man continued, "Yi Mo will definitely not give up until she gets Young Master Yang. If she gets the position of High Priestess, even if Miss Su is smart, she won't be able to compete with the entire Southern Xinjiang. So I hope to form an alliance with Miss Su and help her get the position of High Priestess!"
Jing Man said this and looked at Shi Liu.
Pomegranate's expression changed immediately.
The expressions of the others also changed.
"Are you talking nonsense?" Shi Liu said with a sullen face, "I'm just a maid. I can't be a high priest!"
"So what if I'm just a maid? As long as I can perform the rain-praying dance and the blood bell rings, I will be recognized by the gods and qualified to be the high priest!" Jing Man said affirmatively.
Pomegranate:"……"
Shi Liu looked at Tang Bao, asking with his eyes whether he needed to be silenced.
Tang Bao was still a little surprised that Jing Man actually guessed that Shi Liu was the one who performed the rain-praying dance.
After all, even Taylor and Yimo didn't guess it.
But what if I guessed it?
Silencing? No need!
"Even if you are qualified, you have to be willing to take on the position." Tang Bao said calmly, "It's obvious that my sister Shi Liu doesn't want to. Master Jing Man should not mention this matter in the future."
When Jing Man heard this, he became a little anxious.
"How can that be?" Jing Man shouted, "If Miss Shi Liu doesn't become the high priestess, are we going to have to watch helplessly as that vicious woman Yi Mo takes the position of high priestess?"
Tang Bao frowned and said, "Apart from Yi Mo, is there no one else who can be the high priest?"
Jing Man sighed and said, "Unless there is another person in this world who can wear the blood bell and dance the sacrificial dance on the day of the divine sacrifice and gain the approval of the gods."
Tang Bao: “…”
