640: Plans and intentions

Regardless, you must give me a definitive answer today. This is the second thing I came to see you about today!

Abao crossed his arms and looked at Tang Ku with a calm, unhurried expression. "Hey, don't try any tricks. Although you performed quite well just now, if I really hardened my heart to deal with you, you should be able to imagine what the scene would look like!"

Tang Ku scratched his bald head and said helplessly, "I cannot give anyone an answer right now. After all, I am a monk... Hmm, how about this: if I can truly become an Order Lord, or once the crisis regarding the Pseudo-Saint is resolved, I will give you that answer. How does that sound?"

Abao looked at Tang Ku, and after a long while, finally sighed helplessly. "Fine, I know I'm being a bit unreasonable... Hmm, let's go with what you said... Once everything is over, you must give a definitive answer... The little girl's father also married those women as his wives only after everything was resolved. There is still time!"

The Panda could only force a bitter smile to himself. "Little girl, your uncle can only help you this much. After all, I can't just let him go off to date while ignoring the big picture."

Tang Ku nodded. "Then, what is the third thing you mentioned..."

"Now that we've finished fighting, aren't you going to invite me to your place for a good meal?"

The Panda curled his lip and said.

"That was my oversight!"

Tang Ku laughed heartily. "Senior, please follow me..."

...A few minutes later, in the courtyard of the Du Xin Domain, eight tables were set, filled with various delicacies and fine wines, and of course, fresh Flat Peaches just picked from the trees. A fat Panda was sitting in the main seat, eating and drinking with great gusto, enjoying himself thoroughly.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say. Eventually, most of them felt it was too boring and went back to their rooms, yawning. Only Tang Ku sat opposite the Panda, watching him eat.

Tang Ku's Zen meditation skills were excellent; even in this situation, he could patiently watch the Panda sweep away the food like a storm.

Eight tables full of food were finally swept clean by the Panda. When he finished the last jar of wine with the Flat Peaches, he let out a satisfied burp, patted his fat belly, and said, "Full, full. Damn it, it's been a long time since I've eaten this satisfyingly!"

Tang Ku's mouth twitched for a moment. "Did you come here to mooch off a wealthy host?"

"Sigh, you don't know..."

The Panda complained tearfully, "My partner, in order to make me lose weight, created a so-called healthy diet plan for me... I haven't had a full meal in ten years!"

"Hiss, is your wife abusing you?"

Tang Ku said in shock.

"Actually, no. I know she means well, but... sigh, my belly is naturally this big; controlling my diet won't make it smaller. And the energy I store from eating can be consumed whenever I transform during battle!"

The Panda sighed. "Anyway, let's not talk about that. Next, I'll tell you the third thing, which is... from today on, I will live here... Hmm, not to monitor you, but to help you guard this Chang'an City... But there is one condition: you must hand over full authority for the upcoming defense layout and battle command to me. After all, among you people, you might be okay at individual combat, and some even have the ability to take on ten enemies when facing the Pseudo-Saint Legion, but... large-scale wars, they have never fought, have they?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly. "I can completely summon General Xue Rengui and the others to help me defend."

"General Xue Rengui has only fought human wars so far. Has he participated in Universe-level battles? Or has he commanded major campaigns like the War for the Saint?"

The Panda retorted.

Tang Ku fell silent immediately, and only after a long while did he say, "Then have you commanded one?"

"No, the commander-in-chief that time was Tang Ao, who is the New Saint in your words!"

The Panda said confidently, "But at least I participated in that campaign, and as a core member. So, I know exactly how to lay out similar wars!"

Tang Ku slapped his forehead. "I thought you were the commander-in-chief. It turns out you were just a sidekick?"

"What sidekick? At the very least, I was a vanguard!"

The Panda laughed. "Don't be unhappy. With me here to help you arrange your aftermath, you can go and fight Ge Gang to the death without any worries!"

"That's so unlucky. Why am I already dealing with 'aftermath'?"

Tang Ku said with wide eyes.

"Hey, what does it matter? You little monk, don't be so superstitious. Believe in science!"

The Panda patted his chest. "If you have anything to entrust, anything needed for battle, or any trump cards, tell your uncle. I guarantee I'll handle it beautifully and won't let you worry!"

Tang Ku scratched his head. "I still think it's unreliable, but I have no other ideas right now... Hmm, fine. In any case, we do need a capable character to be the commander-in-chief... Hmm, I will tell everyone later and have them listen to your arrangements!"

The Panda smiled. "That's it. That's the spirit. As a man, you can't be indecisive... Hmm, don't worry. I have trained soldiers, led troops, fought in many large battles, participated in many more, and I have even been in the staff echelon as a military advisor, so you can rest assured..."

"But are you sure they will definitely come to Chang'an? Those Pseudo-Saint, will they use unscrupulous means to deal with the common people in other regions?" Tang Ku said in a deep voice.

"They will definitely come to Chang'an first!"

The Panda said decisively.

"Why? How can you be so sure?"

Tang Ku said.

"Because of Luck!" The Panda looked serious. "This thing is the greatest benefit for any faction, so they have to come! Once they dare to run wild elsewhere, they are very likely to suffer, because the Luck is in your hands!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something. He took out a square metal box from his bosom and threw it directly to Tang Ku. "This is what Ge Gang asked me to give you... You can see what's inside using your Divine Sense!"

Tang Ku caught it, probed it with his Divine Sense, and was suddenly shocked. "This... is this the weapons and Magic Treasure of the Immortals and Buddhas?"

"Hehe, that's right. After the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect were destroyed, Ge Gang went to these two places. Seeing that all the Magic Treasure were unguarded, he swept them all up. Now that the Buddhist Sect and the Immortal Realm are your allies, it is time to return these things to you!"

The Panda laughed. "Now, can you tell me your plans and intentions?"
