Chapter 3157 — Tianchan's Longing
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Ancestor Xuanchen was thoroughly satisfied. He had expected to have to do a fair amount of persuading, but Tianchan had proved so reasonable. Still, Ancestor Xuanchen had been considering things from the standpoint that Tianchan was a girl; yet judging by what he saw now, these past few years of disguising herself as Tiancan Bian had made Tianchan's temperament far more like a man's. So Ancestor Xuanchen had no misgivings either, and took Kang Jingming away with him.
After Ancestor Xuanchen had gone off with Kang Jingming, only Tianchan and Xiao Taohong were left in the room. Tianchan then spoke up: "When the time comes, you'll go apply for a position at Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals. Do whatever the job asks of you. You may get on good terms with Kang Xiaofeng, but there's no need to go out of your way to seduce him. Whatever Kang Jingming says to you, you can simply ignore; just see to your own duties. As for that file, don't give it a thought for now."
"Yes, Young Sect Master," Xiao Taohong answered at once. Truth be told, if she did not have to sacrifice her charms, Xiao Taohong was more than willing to go out into the secular world and see something of it. After all, she had grown up inside the Xuandan Sect and had never had any contact with the outside world. She would not complain about it, but who does not yearn for those new and unfamiliar things?
If there was a chance, Xiao Taohong would be quite glad to take a stroll through the secular world.
Tian Die'er worked with remarkable efficiency. That very evening, a file on Kang Xiaofeng was delivered into Tianchan's hands! The Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect might not employ high-tech methods, but that did not rule out Tian Die'er's using them. There were plenty of reports about Kang Xiaofeng and Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals; one had only to look and they could be found. As for Kang Xiaofeng's own history, a few inquiries among his former classmates would yield a fairly accurate picture.
When Tianchan saw that Kang Xiaofeng had been Wei Zhao's first underling, she could not help but be a little surprised. She had not expected Kang Xiaofeng and Wei Zhao to share that connection...
Kang Xiaofeng was Wei Zhao's underling, and Xiao Taohong was her own maidservant... If Xiao Taohong really did end up with Kang Xiaofeng, that would not count as a loss for her... Suddenly Tianchan realized she seemed to be thinking too much. Why had she suddenly started turning over such muddled matters?
It made Tianchan's cheeks grow a little warm. Fortunately, only Tian Die'er was in the room, and Tian Die'er's worship of Tianchan was so blind that she would never think anything Tianchan did was improper, nor would she ever question her.
"This Xiaofen was a woman Kang Jingming cast aside in the past, and she jumped off a building? And she's a cripple?" Tianchan was rather astonished. Kang Xiaofeng truly was too magnanimous—to have actually fallen for Xiaofen!
As for Xiaofen's leg later healing, Tianchan was not surprised. She herself had been on the verge of dying from a fall off a cliff, and Wei Zhao had still brought her back to life; a single leg was no problem at all for Wei Zhao.
Still, these matters led Tianchan to one conclusion: Kang Xiaofeng was a decent man, and that set her mind at ease regarding Xiao Taohong.
After sending Tian Die'er away, Tianchan summoned Xiao Taohong once more.
"Young Sect Master, you wanted to see me?" Xiao Taohong had no idea why Tianchan had called for her again so soon.
"Kang Xiaofeng is a decent man. If it were possible, he would not be a bad choice," Tianchan said lightly. Even Tianchan herself could not say why she had said it—simply... to find a figment of an identity?
"Ah?" Xiao Taohong was taken aback. She had not expected Tianchan to say such a thing. "Young Sect Master, what are you..."
