Returning from the Immortal World

Chapter 749: Let Bygones Be Bygones, But Be Forever Loyal to the Country

It was the first time for Tang Guosheng and Tang Min to hear Tang Xiu personally admit the fact that he had a woman already. Even the outside knew that his woman was Mu Wanying, he never admitted it personally. At this moment, the father and daughter exchanged looks and finally accepted Kang Xia thoroughly.

Also, she was a cultivator!

Her status as a cultivator showed that she was indeed Tang Xiu’s most effective assistant. At this moment, the both of them realized that it was no wonder Tang Xiu could transfer his authority over the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s management to Kang Xia.

“Little Kang, you will be the future daughter-in-law of my Tang Family.”

Tang Guosheng turned his head to look at Kang Xia. After saying those words, he directly turned his sight to Tang Xiu and took the cigarette Tang Xiu put down on the tea table.

The daughter-in-law of the Tang Family?

A huge wave surged up inside Kang Xia’s heart at this moment, and her tender body could not help but tremble a few times. Intense ecstasy along with joy made her feel more satisfied than ever. She cared a lot about Tang Xiu, and naturally, cared about getting approval from the Tang Family’s elders. She imagined about it sometimes, but did not expect her dream to come true.

External variables were sometimes needed to deepen one’s affection, and those who wanted to love and be loved would truly care. What Tang Xiu just said really made her satisfied, deepening her feelings for him.

Tang Guosheng lit up the cigarette and took two deep puffs. Then, he slowly said, “The issue is very troublesome this time. It can be said to be big trouble. It will not only cause losses in the entirety of China but also inflict heavy losses to the Tang Family if it’s not handled well.”

“Please don’t keep me guessing, Grandpa. Just go straight to the point,” said Tang Xiu.

“Do you know about Mist Source Island?” Asked Tang Guosheng.

“Never heard of it,” Tang Xiu shook his head. “Do we have such an island in China?”

“Prior to this, I thought it was a good thing that the country tried to conceal the existence of this island. But I didn’t expect for this situation to occur. As a matter of fact, Mist Source Island suddenly appeared about 20 to 30 years ago outside the sea territory of Taiwan—about 800 nautical miles from it. The moment this island appeared, the country immediately dispatched a large number of troops, geologists, and biologists there. Do you know what situation we found on this island of the same size of Taiwan?

“It’s completely composed of high mountains, which are filled with virgin primeval forests. There were many savage beasts there at first, along with a lot of precious mineral treasures. Even medicinal herbs also grew there. After some highly respected old Chinese practitioners ventured there, they confirmed that some of the herbs were thousands of years of age. I myself personally went there. And on the summit of the mountain in the center of the island has a palace. It’s very ancient, but none was able to climb up to the mountaintop and venture into it until now.

“After the country set up development of the island in secret, the Mist Source Island has been completely under our country’s control and a lot of elite soldiers are stationed there, along with the families of some soldiers and researchers for some time in the past. And now, the entire Mist Source Island is inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people.”

Having said that, Tang Guosheng stopped and took another cigarette.

Tang Xiu was shocked, “How is it possible for Mist Source Island to still be kept tightly confidential in this era? Without mentioning other reasons, the power of the media alone is enough to expose the situation there, right?”

“It’s because of the exposure of the existence of Mist Source Island that many countries are staring,” sighed Tang Guosheng. “Many countries attempted to take possession of the island several years ago. But our country has already troops stationed there, while it’s also still in our sea territory, hence the failure of their attempts. Taiwan also wanted to set foot there, but they were suppressed and eventually could only choose to be silent.”

“If so, then what exactly is this crisis?” Asked Tang Xiu.
