Wen Nuan was in a particularly good mood and, ignoring her complaint, took the bun and began eating.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Xi has been mentioning you a lot lately. Come over to my place when you have time; I’ll let you taste my cooking."
Turning down a generous offer wasn’t in her nature.
Especially since that generous host had just tricked her, with plenty of Hidden Weapons still left by the wall. If she hadn’t been alert, she might have been wounded.
While Wen Nuan was busy eating, Tang Shu took the opportunity to survey the courtyard once over, walking several rounds back and forth. She quickly had it figured out.
"Is there an underground secret chamber here? There should be three stories, right?"
Wen Nuan’s actions while eating stiffened, her inner shock not in the least bit small, and after a long moment, she gave Tang Shu a thumbs up.
"How did you figure it out?"
Just one glance and she uncovered the secret of the courtyard; she was indeed not to be underestimated. They were lucky she was on their side; otherwise, they might not even know when they’d fall into her hands.
Tang Shu stood still, replying with two words, "Family heritage."
The Damo Tang Clan was proficient in various Hidden Weapons, and naturally their Mechanical Techniques were also up to par. As the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect, these were necessary skills. And she was able to mention it so openly because she had stumbled upon similar secret passages in Tang Village up in the mountains.
It was just unknown whether those passages were the work of their Tang family ancestors or Father Tang himself.
Tang Shu was quite certain, though the courtyard was small, it had its own universe within.
However, even knowing this, when Wen Nuan led her into this small base, she couldn’t help but be astounded by what she saw.
The basement had been renovated into several rooms according to their use, not only including a training room and a shooting room, but also a communications room and an office. Compared to the workshop at Plants & Herbs Hall, it was like the Great Shaman in front of the novice.
After touring the entire place, Wen Nuan casually handed her a long wooden rifle.
Tang Shu weighed it in her hands for a moment and in the next instant, she had expertly disassembled it, quickly familiarizing herself with the construction of the long wooden weapon.
Looking up at the red center of the target fifty meters away, her gaze was firm and sharp.
On the evening of July 5th, Luo Lin led a team bursting into the villa area of Palm Pavilion.
Tang Shu was pressed in front of a vanity table, surrounded by three fashionably dressed women, sealed off from even a breath of air.
"Sister Luo, it’s just a celebration party; isn’t this a bit too formal?"
"This is actually understated, my lady. Just sit still and leave everything to us," Sister Luo ordered.
Luo Lin stood opposite her, watching seriously as the makeup artist from Starshine Media applied makeup to Tang Shu, reporting to her the information she had gathered.
"The celebration party for ’Easy Rule Jianghu’ is quite the grand affair this time, attracting no small number of people. Your everyday attire is too simple; you have to change it up."
"Why is it such a grand affair? Sister Geng said they would invite the investors of the movie; are you referring to them?"
"Not just the investors. There are lots of business tycoons, as well as quite a few stars from the film industry."
Luo Lin smiled mysteriously, "’Easy Rule Jianghu’ is a comedy that achieved huge returns with a small investment, creating quite a stir in the industry. That director... tsk tsk, obviously is no pushover. He announced five days ago that he’s getting ready to start shooting another new movie."
So that’s why these people had come rushing over, a whole crowd upon catching wind of it.
