The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1693 - 1692: Earth-Shaking Loyalty

Tang Rao is the type of person who always gets revenge for his grievances; how could he easily let go of someone who wants to kill him?Yan Xiong had never felt so humiliated in his life. Had he known that one day he would be beaten by his own servants for offending Tang Rao, he would have done whatever it took to avoid Tang Rao and get rid of those servants early, just to spare his own frustrations.

But now, talking about those things, it's all too late.

Three incompetent saddlers can rival Zhuge Liang; several servants, less powerful than Yan Xiong, directly beat Yan Xiong to the point of being unable to take care of himself when he's bound by the Binding Immortal Rope.

To say he's unable to take care of himself is putting it lightly; in fact, he's left with only a breath of life.

Although Tang Rao was outside, judging by his expression, he must have watched quite the entertainment in Illusion City.

"Why are you smiling so cunningly?"

Shu Yi walked over, draped his arm over Tang Rao's shoulder, and asked curiously.

Having watched the show, he exited Illusion City, turned to Shu Yi and said, "Want to see a video of Yan Xiong being beaten to a cripple by his servants? If you want, I'll send it to you."

Such a thrilling show shouldn't just be watched by Tang Rao alone; that would be boring.

Before Shu Yi could say whether he wanted to watch it, Tang Rao had already sent the exciting video to Shu Yi, urging him to watch it quickly.

It's better to watch it soon; if Shu Yi sees it a minute later, it would be a huge loss for him.

Shu Yi was somewhat skeptical, but hearing the message notification from Illusion City, he clicked open to look, finally lived up to expectations, and laughed out loud, making a sound like a pig being slaughtered.

"How about that, when Lao Tang makes a move, you can tell right away. My video is top-notch, no charge, free for you, showing I consider you a true brother."

While watching, Shu Yi shared the details of Yan Xiong being beaten with Tang Rao. Described in detail, it was vivid, like a storytelling session, and Tang Rao listened, smacking his lips, appearing quite interested.

"Brother, the next time there's such a thrilling performance, remember to inform me early, so we can watch live. Watching in Illusion City surely isn't as fun as being there in person."

Shu Yi seemed like a moral businessman outwardly, but inside, he was similar to Tang Rao. Such cunning thoughts were quite similar; they weren't far apart.

"There aren't always on-site shows for you to watch. I'm not constantly available to stir up trouble, but if you have such resources, you can create your own live effect. Why involve me every time?"

Tang Rao claimed he had no conscience, but if Shu Yi faced some trouble, Tang Rao wouldn't stand idly by.

Four days after Tang Rao left, Old Master Yan sent someone to invite Tang Rao to visit the Yan Family, claiming the internal conflicts had been mostly resolved, and it was time to fulfill his promise.

Tang Rao didn't expect that the Yan Family, notoriously unpleasant on East Island, had an old master who was so true to his word.

Even if the old master kept his word, Tang Rao wouldn't decide not to demand his owed share just because the old master was a good person.

"Behave yourself at the Shu Family, and wait for my good news. I'm going and will be back soon."

With the people sent over, Tang Rao waved his hands and followed along.

The Yan Family remained the same as the first time Tang Rao saw it; from afar, one could feel the oppressive aura of the mountain. Fortunately, if you walked behind the guide, you had nothing to worry about.

The old master had waited at the Yan Family for a long time. This waiting felt longer than any other time.

In the entire three-facing compound, the old master hadn't left anyone behind. He had dismissed all the servants. Alone, he consistently looked around, wanting to capture all the surrounding scenery in his eyes, as if afraid of missing something by accident; if so, his memories couldn't be pieced together.

"Old Master, the person you wanted to see has arrived."

The person arriving was fearful, knowing the old master was currently very melancholy, yet there was no choice but to disturb him.

"Let him in."

The old master sighed, knowing this moment was bound to come, so resignedly closed his eyes, allowing the servant to go outside and summon the visitor.

Tang Rao, thinking this fine mountain land would soon become his territory, couldn't help but feel excited, unaware that the old master's feelings were entirely opposite to his own.

"The old master is quite righteous; I thought you'd regret, but didn't expect you'd proactively reach out to me, ready to give me the Yan Family, right?"

Tang Rao entered the inner courtyard, disregarding how red the old master's eyes were or the sorrow in his expression, only focusing on happily collecting his spoils.

"Take it; the Yan Family will belong to you sooner or later. Even if I kept it, how long could I possibly hold onto it?"

The old master was a sensible person, despite being incredibly reluctant emotionally, rationally called Tang Rao over to clarify, and concluded.

"Old master, you have so many people to feed in the Yan Family. If the land is given to me, where will you and your family servants live? Or have you already thought of a place to go?"

Tang Rao showed the old master considerable empathy, helping him to hand over the land more willingly.

He assumed the old master had found a place in these days, but unexpectedly, after Tang Rao asked, the old master shook his head, his aged voice ringing in Tang Rao's ears: "Finding a place to accommodate so many people is rather difficult. I plan to eliminate all the Poisonous Insect Poison from them, allow the servants to live as normal people, seek other paths or if you need servants, choose some to stay here—whatever works. As for me, the Divine Realm is so vast, finding a haven isn't too difficult, right?"

An elderly man with silver hair, approaching the end of his life, unexpectedly had to find a new place to reside, which was both destiny's joke and his self-inflicted retribution—a heavenly arrangement.

"I thought you, old master, had everything strategized long ago. Turns out you didn't even figure it out before generously offering the place to me. Because of this integrity, I must thank you properly, old master."

Every word Tang Rao said was from the bottom of his heart; each was factual, genuine. However, in other people's ears, it didn't sound heartfelt but rather deliberately mocking.

Whether it was heartfelt or mocking, none of that mattered anymore.

"You and your wife saved my life. I promised to give you the Yan Family, and we both upheld our promises. I did what I needed to do, and the rest of my life can be peaceful."

The old master doesn't pursue, doesn't regret, doesn't beg.

Tang Rao felt he had never met someone better than the old master; this sense of loyalty was profoundly moving, incredibly glorious, and his three views were inspiringly upright.

"Alright then, since you're so generous, old master, and insist I accept the Yan Family, I'll humbly comply."
