My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2169: Chapter 2165: Not an Outsider

Guo Muye grinned: "An excuse, any random one will do. Commander Tian said that the medical hall is a crucial area in Tianpo City, and its security needs someone to protect it. With Shan Ze’s strong skills, not inferior to mine, he’s been assigned to be your deputy Hall Master, to safeguard the doctors of Tianpo City."

Tang Ming and Mu Ta both laughed, it seems that this person named Shan Ze is worth pulling in.

After seeing off Mu Ta, Tang Ming chatted with Guo Muye for a long time. Guo Muye is indeed a skilled old man.

However, he’s always been trying to connect puppetry with immortal medicine to help those with limb loss by installing prosthetics, making cultivators exist as half-human, half-puppets.

This idea was scoffed at by the deputy Hall Master, Zeng Qing. Zeng Qing has publicly mocked Guo Muye numerous times during medical hall council meetings and relegated him to the role of night watchman at the medical hall.

Tang Ming was astonished, though he didn’t understand puppet cultivation. But Guo Muye’s idea is surely feasible.

In the Mortal World where Tang Ming once lived, there were such things as prosthetics. The puppetry in Taoyuan World is definitely much stronger than what ordinary people can create. He thought that the old drunkard before him surely could produce something remarkable.

"Old Guo, you’ve told me so much, but I have nothing to repay you with. Rest assured, I’m very interested in the fusion of puppetry and immortal medicine. If you don’t mind, I hope you can teach me this craft."

Tang Ming smiled at Guo Muye.

Guo Muye was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing; "Hahaha, the ancestors have opened their eyes. Hall Master, rest assured, even though Deputy Hall Master Zeng and the others have always jeered at me, I have never stopped researching prosthetics. Once I have results, I will definitely share them with you."

Tang Ming nodded and walked into the resting area of the Hall Master of the medical hall. Having just arrived in Tianpo City, he had no residence, so he had to stay in the medical hall.

But when Tang Ming followed Guo Muye and pushed open the door, he heard a woman’s moaning.

Both Tang Ming and Guo Muye were very surprised. Guo Muye squinted his old eyes, revealing a cold smirk, and coughed: "Listen up, people inside, this is a crucial area of the medical hall. Get out quickly or I’ll notify the City Guard Army."

Inside the room, there was a sudden flurry of activity as a burly forty-something man with a black face emerged.

"Old Guo, what’s gotten into you? You don’t drink your wine properly and want to come to the Hall Master’s rest room to do something? Do you want to be the Hall Master of the medical hall?"

Zeng Qing glared at Guo Muye, not expecting this old man to come over to ruin his plans.

As the deputy Hall Master of the medical hall, Zeng Qing had been eyeing the position of Hall Master for a long time. In Tianpo City medical hall, only he and Zhao Jian the alchemist were capable of crafting elixirs.

Zhao Jian is an elixir research fool without any interest in the Hall Master’s position.

Shan Ze doesn’t understand medical skills or alchemy, at most he can be a deputy Hall Master.

But Zeng Qing not only excels at scheming but is also good at alchemy. He is considered the backbone of the medical hall.

A few days ago, he personally went to Commander Tian Huansheng and gave him a substantial gift.

Tian Huansheng promised him he would arrange for him to become the Hall Master of the medical hall, so Zeng Qing has been in a good mood lately, and with a good mood, his desires also increased.

Tianpo City medical hall’s beauty Luo Meiniang, Shan Ze’s concubine, was assigned to the medical hall by Shan Ze to seek benefits for him because she understands medicine mildly.

But Shan Ze didn’t know that Zeng Qing deceived Luo Meiniang by teaching her alchemy and managed to bring her to bed.

Every time at medical hall meetings, seeing Luo Meiniang sitting next to Shan Ze and recalling the incident between him and Luo Meiniang in the Hall Master’s resting room, Zeng Qing felt restless.

"Oh, isn’t this Deputy Hall Master Zeng Qing? How come you’re in the Hall Master’s resting room? Who is inside?"

Guo Muye said with a smile looking at Zeng Qing.

Zeng Qing’s eyes focused, but his gaze fell on Tang Ming. Knowing Guo Muye, he envied Guo Muye for his knowledge in immortal medicine and had been suppressing him for years.

But Guo Muye never resisted, and even as the medical hall’s night watchman, he only became more low-profile.

Today, he came to catch him red-handed and brought a young man along.

"Guo Muye, did something snap in your head, who’s this kid? Who let you bring him to the Hall Master’s resting room? Do you understand the rules?"

Zeng Qing didn’t respond to Guo Muye but instead pointed at him and lectured.

Standing next to Guo Muye, Tang Ming coughed: "Deputy Hall Master Zeng wants to know my identity, so let me introduce myself. I’m Tang Ming, unworthy as I am, I am actually the Hall Master of Tianpo City medical hall."

"What?"

Zeng Qing was shocked by Tang Ming’s words. Tian Huansheng had guaranteed him he could definitely become the Hall Master of Tianpo City medical hall.

But here Guo Muye inexplicably brought a young man who claimed to be the Hall Master, which was truly surprising.

"What? Deputy Hall Master Zeng doesn’t believe it? Do you want me to invite the City Lord over to vindicate me?"

Tang Ming stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Zeng Qing’s expression changed, he took a breath and smiled at Tang Ming: "So it’s Hall Master Tang, Zeng Qing truly neglected you. Come, sit quickly. I’ll have Meiniang make you some tea. Meiniang, come out, it’s the new Hall Master, not an outsider."

Luo Meiniang sauntered out with a slim waist and cast a coquettish glance at Tang Ming, heading towards the living room.

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Old Guo, wasn’t this said to be my resting place? Why are Deputy Hall Master Zeng and his Daoist companion here?"

Guo Muye coughed: "Hall Master, I’m not sure either. I’m just the medical hall’s night watchman. Before you were the Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master Zeng and Deputy Hall Master Shan both managed the affairs. Should I notify Deputy Hall Master Shan, so you can ask him?"

Zeng Qing snorted: "Old Guo, it’s none of your business here, I want to talk to Hall Master Tang."

"What? Deputy Hall Master, what can’t you say in front of me, an invisible person? Even if I, Old Guo, knew something, I won’t spread it."

Mu Ta knew Guo Muye from the start, and Guo Muye was considered someone with connections. Tang Ming was sent by Mu Ta, so Tang Ming was one of Mu Ta’s people.

Guo Muye knew he and Tang Ming were aligned. Both shared in the honor and the loss. At this moment, he wouldn’t leave Tang Ming behind. He certainly wouldn’t do something like that.
