Wang Ai Ren and Jiang Xingkong were locking horns in a staring contest when Xu Shichang spotted them. Knowing that Wang Ai Ren and Jiang Xingkong had always been protectors of the Red Wall elders like Tang Ye, he went over to greet them and then called over a few other elders to go have tea and chat.
After a brief rest, Tang Ye and Tang Manhong began to delve into the task of concocting the antidote. Once this matter was resolved, not only would Tang Ye receive commendations, but so would Tang Manhong. Hence, Tang Manhong need not fear any repercussions from the Red Wall due to her past as the Heavenly List Red Fox, and could move about Yanjing with ease. This was perfect timing as the New Tang Sect had just been stabilized, and returning to Yanjing to lay out plans was highly advantageous for future developments.
