Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 336 - 366 I Fear Neither Life Nor Death (Second Update)
Chapter Three Hundred Sixty-Six
"Moreover, we are also willing to hand over the business in Qingyuan and Liangzhou to you, allowing you to take the position of the Dragon Head of the commerce in three cities."
Tang Xiao watched Long Xiaoshan, confident of victory.
A capable person is usually also a smart one.
Although he didn’t think Long Xiaoshan could be stronger than him, the fact that a younger man had achieved such an enterprise and reached the Profound Level at least proved that this young man was definitely not a fool.
And it was easy to make a smart person make the right choice.
So he believed that under these circumstances, Long Xiaoshan would definitely join the Tang Family, and he could only join the Tang Family.
Once Long Xiaoshan joined the Tang Family.
Not only would the Tang Family have gained a strong arm, controlling Hechuan City, but even Long Xiaoshan’s health-preserving fruits and vegetables would be in their hands.
Upon arriving in Hechuan City, he had already tried the health-preserving fruits and vegetables at Jingheng Hotel.
These fruits and vegetables could even slightly help a Martial Artist’s Inner Qi. Although not much, long-term consumption was definitely beneficial, and for ordinary people it was even more life-extending, disease-removing, and body-strengthening; he had already seen the limitless value of these fruits and vegetables.
There was also this reason to win over Long Xiaoshan.
Zhao Xiaoqiao looked at Long Xiaoshan helplessly. Although she wanted Long Xiaoshan to stay, compared to the Tang Family, the Special Action Division really had nothing to offer, especially since the South Chuan Group was even less significant than the others.
"Sorry, I’ve already joined the Special Action Division and don’t plan to change jobs, and I’m also not interested in becoming any Dragon Head," said Long Xiaoshan.
The smile that had always been calm on Tang Xiao’s face froze.
Long Xiaoshan actually refused.

Even Zhao Xiaoqiao couldn’t believe her own ears.
Long Xiaoshan, when faced with the Tang Family’s enticements, actually didn’t leave but chose to continue staying with the South Chuan Group.
Tang Xiao’s expression stiffened for a moment before he slowly said, "You really don’t plan to join the Tang Family, even if you are not interested in the so-called Dragon Head, do you not care about your own life either?"
"Who says I don’t want it, my life is mine and of course I want it," Long Xiaoshan replied.
"I know you’re quite capable, but facing the Iron Palm Gang and those families you’ve offended, can you hold your ground?" Tang Xiao said with a grave voice.
"I am not afraid of life or death," Long Xiaoshan stated indifferently.
Tang Xiao’s eyes narrowed, showing a glint of sharp light.
From the beginning, his attitude had been one of indifference yet supremacy.
Even if his expression was calm on the surface, his heart looked down from a high place. After all, he was the Tang Family’s top talent, and Long Xiaoshan was just a little farmer from Hechuan City. Even if Long Xiaoshan had some power, it didn’t catch his eye.
But the words Long Xiaoshan spoke sent a jolt through him.
The person who could speak that phrase with such a tone was either a mass murderer or utterly ruthless. Regardless of which it was, Long Xiaoshan made him reconsider; for a person of only twenty years old to possess such a state of mind.
It was destined that this person was no ordinary one.
From that statement, he knew he had come in vain today, and there was no need to say anything more, for a person who could utter those words had an utterly steadfast will, not easily shaken.
He gazed at Long Xiaoshan for a moment, slowly stood up, and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
Having said that, he nodded slightly towards Zhao Xiaoqiao as a gesture of respect, and then walked out with the two elders.
Watching Tang Xiao leave with his people.
Zhao Xiaoqiao turned her head with an incredulous look and stared at Long Xiaoshan, making him shiver. Clutching his arms, he said, "What are you doing? Wanting to assault me or what? Let me tell you, I’m very pure. If you try anything, I’ll definitely resist, I’ll definitely scream. Even if you take my body, you can’t have my heart."
"Assault you my ass." Zhao Xiaoqiao had been touched that Long Xiaoshan was willing to stay, but as soon as she heard what he said, she exploded with anger. Why did this guy always have to say things that annoyed her so much?
He’d been acting all cool and attractive when he was talking to Tang Xiao just a moment ago.
A simple "I fear neither life nor death" had slightly stirred her emotions.
But now, he just seemed like a scoundrel. He didn’t seem like someone who could speak such heroic, sky-defying words. Those must have been hallucinations earlier.
"It’s your fault for looking like you were about to devour me just now. Of course, I misunderstood," Long Xiaoshan muttered.
"Devour you my ass," Zhao Xiaoqiao, truly wanting to kick Long Xiaoshan hard a few times, cooled down a bit and asked, "Why didn’t you agree to join the Tang Family just now when Tang Xiao asked you?"
"Why should I agree to him? That kid looked so annoying, I couldn’t stand him. Why would I want to join the Tang Family?" replied Long Xiaoshan.
"I think you’re just jealous, jealous that he’s handsomer than you."
"Haha, me, jealous of him?"
"Stop denying it, or else you wouldn’t reject the Tang Family for such a trivial reason."
"Of course, there’s more than that one reason."
"What other reasons do you have?"
Long Xiaoshan suddenly leaned close to Zhao Xiaoqiao, making her involuntarily lean back as she said, "What, what do you want to do?"
"I didn’t join the Tang Family because of you, of course. Don’t even talk about joining them, even if they offered me the position of family head, I wouldn’t care," Long Xiaoshan said, gazing into Zhao Xiaoqiao’s eyes with an affectionate look.
"What are you spouting nonsense about," Zhao Xiaoqiao hastily pushed Long Xiaoshan away and quickly ran out of the room,
I’m going to die, I’m going to die.
This bastard, can’t he just have a normal conversation with her?
Why suddenly say these things without giving her any mental preparation? What exactly is he trying to do?
But why is her heart beating so fast?
Zhao Xiaoqiao, you absolutely can’t fall for his tricks.
"Little Qiao sister, why are you standing here with your hand on your face? Why is your face so red? Are you sick? Where’s Xiaoshan?" Bai Susu came over, asking with concern.

"Susu Sister, I’m fine, I’m fine," Zhao Xiaoqiao quickly blocked Bai Susu from touching her forehead, saying, "Xiaoshan is in there. I’m just feeling a bit hot, I’ll go first."
Zhao Xiaoqiao disappeared as if she had flown away.
Bai Susu shook her head, thinking to herself, where was it hot today? The temperature was only in the teens.
Ever since Tang Xiao left,
no other blind-eyed people came to Bai’s Medicinal Materials, clearly, Long Xiaoshan’s warning had an effect. They didn’t want to cause any more trouble before the auction, especially since everyone’s main goal was to acquire the Century-Old Snow Lotus.
Instead of causing trouble with the Special Action Division, given the strength they had shown, even capturing a Mid Xuan-Level martial artist from the Fan Family, it seemed like, without a Xuan-level Late Stage expert, they couldn’t do much to Bai’s Medicinal Materials anymore.
As everyone waited, time quickly passed by, and two days went by.
The auction finally began.
That day, the Jingheng Hotel was exceptionally lively, with many luxury cars gathering around. Apart from the martial artists, the Century-Old Snow Lotus, with its life-prolonging and health-maintaining properties, had also attracted many wealthy tycoons, who hoped to purchase this precious medicinal herb.
