Chapter 60: The Day of Sorrow
"Just a dream, right?" Xiao Yao asked with a wink.
"Can't you tell the difference between dreams and reality?" Tang Xiao's voice was a little higher.
Xiao Yao was speechless, that experience was indeed very real, wasn't that a dream?
Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Yao asked, "What is the function of your jade Linglong?" Just a dream? ”
Tang Xiao no longer concealed it, thought for a while and said: "It's hard to describe that kind of experience, in my dream, I am like a part of the world, suspended in the air, watching all living beings in the world, watching flowers bloom and fall, but I can't do anything, it's like watching a 3D movie, I can only watch the movie at which point in time it starts and ends at which point in time." ”
"There is a past and a future?" Xiao Yao asked again.
Tang Xiao nodded.
Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "Liu Bo knows that you have Yu Linglong, and he is likely to release this news before returning to the original world. ”
Tang Xiao was stunned and nodded thoughtfully.
"An arbitral tribunal should be indispensable for those who are interested in this kind of artifact, right?" Xiao Yao judged.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door from the outside.
Xiao Yao and Tang Xiao glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"You won't be fooled by your crow's mouth, will you?" Tang Xiao gritted his teeth with hatred.
Xiao Yao spread his hands, slowly walked to the door, and opened the door of the office.
There was a black-robed man standing outside the door, the whole person was tightly wrapped, and only two eyes were exposed, which was the Rizheng he saw in Tingyun Trading Company.
Rizheng saw Xiao Yao open the door, subconsciously looked at Xiao Yao's shoulder, and when he was sure that Xiaobai was still standing there, Rizheng subconsciously took a step back, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"We meet again." Xiao Yao smiled, and stroked the little white fluff on his shoulders in front of Rizheng.
Xiaobai closed his eyes in enjoyment, with an intoxicated expression.
Rizheng was dumbfounded, the little ancestor who was trembling at his own glance was so comfortable on other people's shoulders, how could he be embarrassed!
"I'm here...... It's ......" Rizheng glanced at Tang Xiao behind Xiao Yao, and was speechless for a while.
"You want Jade Linglong?" Xiao Yao asked directly.
Rizheng tried to calm down the agitated emotions and nodded.
"No." Xiao Yao refused without hesitation.
"You should know that this kind of time-related artifact is to be recovered by our arbitration tribunal." Hisho said under control of emotions.
"We're all small people, so let's not get into a conflict here, and if you arbitral tribunal want it, then talk to the bookstore executives." Xiao Yao shrugged and said.
Rizheng nodded, he was really helpless, with Xiaobai here, he had an empty skill but couldn't show it at all, no matter what Xiao Yao said, he had to accept it first, if he angered the White Emperor again, give him a throat, he would not be paralyzed on the ground and incontinent, even if he burned high incense.
"May I ask a question?" Rizheng's words are also a lot more polite.
"Say."
"Why is the White Emperor by your side?" Rizheng asked the biggest question in his mind.
"I don't know, it has to rely on me, I can't get rid of it." Xiao Yao grinned.
The sound of rizheng gritting his teeth was heard by Xiao Yao.
"Okay, count me as talkative." After Rizheng finished speaking, he slowly floated towards the door of the bookstore.
Seeing the sun going away, Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He tried to attack me, but he was so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all." ”
Tang Xiao picked up a piece of white paper from the table, drew two dots on it, and said, "What is the closest distance between these two points?" ”
Xiao Yao drew a line segment between the two points and said, "It is the length of this line segment." ”
Tang Xiao folded the blank paper, and the two dots overlapped together.
Xiao Yao frowned and asked, "You mean that the people of the arbitration tribunal can fold the space?" ”
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, in this weird place, the people of the arbitration tribunal can fold the space, the spatial distance does not exist for them at all, they can appear almost anywhere." ”
"Pretty much what does it mean? Are there other places where they can't fold? Xiao Yao asked.
Tang Xiao said: "They can't fold the bookstore and the Sanshui company's premises, and the space in these places has been specially treated. ”
"Do they rely on superpowers or technology to fold space?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.
"It's a superpower, and it is said that the chief judge can grant the ability to fold space to any time walker." Tang Xiao explained.
"Can it still be granted? Is it so awesome? Xiao Yao was stunned, he couldn't help but wonder if he would ask the referee to grant him a gift one day, but thinking that he had already scared Rizheng like this, he was afraid that he wouldn't say anything good about himself when he went back.
Anyway, he has Xiaobai, as long as Xiaobai is here, the people of the arbitration tribunal are scum.
Tang Xiaodao: "The arbitral tribunal has always claimed that they are the creators and guardians of this mysterious place, and they have many privileges that we cannot imagine, and here, sometimes they are really gods. ”
"Has the bookstore ever thought of uniting with Sanshui to fight against the arbitral tribunal?" Xiao Yao asked.
Tang Xiao shook his head and said: "At present, the mysterious place is governed by three parties, and all three parties have room for survival, and no one is willing to break this balance at this time, and the outcome after the balance is broken is simply unpredictable, in addition, no one knows how many hole cards Sanshui Company has hidden, and no one knows how strong the arbitration tribunal will be." ”
"Forget it, when I didn't say it." Xiao Yao said curtly.
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "You may be a time walker, the high-level leaders of both sides will soon learn about this matter, and we must make some preparations." ”
"How to prepare?" Xiao Yao has been in the Secret Land for a short time, and the resources that can be mobilized are not as many as Tang Xiao.
"Let's go to a bar!" Tang Xiao said suddenly.
"A bar? Is it the one in Cannes? Xiao Yao asked in surprise.
"Yes! It was opened by my brother Tang Jitian, and he also opened a branch here. Tang Xiao suddenly smiled slyly.
A bar in the Secret Place has almost the same layout as a bar in Tang Town, and Xiao Yao would occasionally go to a bar for a drink when he was in Cannes, and when he saw the scene, he suddenly felt intimate, as if he had returned home.
In the corner of the bar, a young man in his twenties was rudely hugging a scantily clad woman, the bottle in his hand was pouring wine into the woman's mouth, and most of the woman's upper body clothes were already soaked with alcohol, but the young man still had no intention of stopping.
The young man had a dragon tattooed on his arm, and the dragon's head was held high, as if he would emerge from the trap and become a real dragon in the next moment.
The clothes on his body were a little flowery, no less than twelve colors, and his hair was fluffy and messy, and it was also dyed in a messy color, Xiao Yao suspected that he had poured paint on his head with paint, because he could not see a trace of beauty.
Tang Xiao pulled Xiao Yao over, sat down next to the young man, and shouted with a chuckle, "Tang Jitian." ”
Tang Jitian turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, and his eyes instantly returned to clarity.
He let go of the girl in his hand, waved her hand to let her leave, and then looked at Tang Xiao with a smile and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Introduce you to a friend." After speaking, she pointed at Xiao Yao.
"Xiao Yao? I know you. Tang Jitian stretched out his right hand to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao didn't mind and shook his hand.
As the grandson of the Tang family, it is normal to have a little bad habits, but the concept of condescending to regard all the people as grass is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
"Go to your office." Tang Xiao glanced at the hands that Xiao Yao and Tang Jitian were holding together, and breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the children of the five major families are too high-eyed, and she has always been worried that these two people don't like each other!
The three of them came to the entrance of the basement one after the other, and there was an inconspicuous office in a corner of the second basement.
Xiao Yao looked at Tang Jitian, then at Tang Xiao, and asked puzzledly: "You brothers and sisters are high in the outside world, why did you come to the mysterious place?" Aren't you afraid that you will become someone else after you get out of the white fog? ”
Tang Jitian's eyes gradually changed from frivolous to profound, and said: "The change of power of our Tang family is different from your Xiao family, and the successive heads of the Tang family have a process of controlling the Tang family, and they have to take over the core business of the Tang family little by little, until one day they reach a certain critical value, and they will naturally become the head of the family." ”
Xiao Yao thought for a while and asked: "If you do your job well, then you will master more and more core business, if you don't do well, then you may gradually move away from the core of power?" ”
"yes, that's pretty much it, it's a horse race." Tang Jitian sighed.
"Are you under pressure to come here and fight for a future?" Xiao Yao somewhat understood.
Tang Jitian nodded and said, "I won't hide it from you, at present, the core business of the Tang family is divided into seven people, and the proportion I have in my hands is only ranked sixth." ”
"What did you come to the Secret Lands for?" Xiao Yao asked.
Tang Jitian said: "Not long before I came to the secret place, the head of the family set up an assessment to examine our business ability. ”
"How to take the test?" Xiao Yao asked.
Tang Jitian sighed: "The head of the family gave each of the seven of us a sum of money, let us find business opportunities by ourselves, and start our own company, and in five years, the Tang family will buy the company of several of us." ”
"Can I call the Tang family's resources?" Xiao Yao asked.
Tang Jitian shook his head and said: "Of course not, we can only borrow external resources, but the internal resources of the Tang family cannot be used, and whoever uses them will be out immediately." ”
Xiao Yao understood a little and said, "Your family master wants you to go out to solicit sponsorship and pull alliances. ”
Tang Jitian nodded.
"You can find me!" Xiao Yao suddenly laughed.
Tang Jitian looked at him with some confusion.
Xiao Yao knew that in Tang Jitian's eyes, he was still the abandoned son of the Xiao family, and he was afraid that the brother and sister would not know what had just happened to the Xiao family.
"Wait for you to get out! When you get out, you'll know what's been going on lately. Xiao Yao didn't bother to explain.
Tang Jitian and Tang Xiao glanced at each other and nodded imperceptibly.
Tang Xiao suddenly put his hand on Xiao Yao's shoulder and said, "My brother does not lack theoretical knowledge, but he still lacks the practical ...... to run a company."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yao interrupted her and said, "I will give him Tingyun Trading Company to operate." ”
He didn't want to spend every day on the daily affairs of the company, and he couldn't ask for someone to do some chores for him! This Tang Xiao is about to use even a beauty trick for his brother, and he is really afraid that Tang Xiao will do something out of the ordinary again.
Satisfying her now also allows her to stop instantly.
"Wait a minute, is there anything important I'm missing? Is Tingyun Trade your Xiao family? Tang Jitian asked with a puzzled expression.
