Chapter 1722 - 1721: Two Little Brothers
"Dad, the good stuff in your Space Ring will definitely be left to me when you die, so how about I take the initiative to give it to Tang Rao now? Doesn't thinking like this make you feel better?"Feel better?
Hahahahahaha!
Seeing the blood trickling from the corners of Lao Yang's mouth, Tang Rao knew that Yang Zhi's Killing Skill had completely shattered Lao Yang's psychological defenses.
His own son!
Tang Rao sighed again, thankful that Tang Xiaobai wasn't as troublesome as Yang Zhi. Not only was Yang Zhi lusting after his father's possessions meant for after his death, but at least Lao Yang only suffered internal injuries from the rage and didn't die on the spot.
"Son, think of all the years I've been by your side, nurturing you with hardships until you grew up, and this is how you repay me? Fine, I see that you're nothing but a traitor, a turncoat. Everything you want is here, take it!"
Two Space Rings appeared on Yang Zhi's hand, and without even looking at what's inside, Yang Zhi handed them over to Tang Rao to reveal the secrets personally.
"Thanks a lot, my good brother!"
Tang Rao took the rings from Yang Zhi's hand, gave a handshake, and then opened the Space Rings to see what treasures were held by these two old guys.
Inside Grandpa Shu's Space Ring were all Elixir Pills and some Ancient Scrolls that Tang Rao couldn't understand. He wasn't interested in the Elixir Pills; it was those Ancient Scrolls that brought a peaceful feeling when approached that piqued his interest.
As for Lao Yang, the contents of his nouveau riche Space Ring indeed matched his status.
Inside the Space Ring were all sorts of extraordinary treasures and many Purple Crystal gems.
One was spiritual wealth, the other material wealth. Whoever's hands these treasures ended up in would be envied greatly, and although Tang Rao remained calm, he thoroughly enjoyed the view. He even kissed each Space Ring; these belonged to him now, making the two old men grumble with resentment, but he accepted it.
"Now that I've got everything, there's no point in hanging around to annoy you both further, so I'll take my leave with my two brothers."
Grandpa Shu and Lao Yang looked at each other bewilderedly, unable to fathom how, after Tang Rao, Shu Yi, and Yang Zhi had left, the items suddenly ended up in Tang Rao's possession.
"Lao Yang, you didn't plan this with them, did you?"
Grandpa Shu was still puzzled, as no matter how he looked at it, Lao Yang seemed like he had plotted against him.
"Pah, didn't you see I got scammed too? I can't even voice my grievances, what do you think about that?"
Lao Yang was displeased; not only did he get fooled by Tang Rao and his own son, but now Grandpa Shu was suspicious of him. Who could know what his feelings were now?
"Who knows what you're up to. To get your son to stay by Tang Rao's side, you'd stop at nothing. I've come to realize there's nothing good from the Yang Family."
Grandpa Shu was in a foul mood and said whatever unpleasant thing he could think of, leaving Lao Yang speechless with indignation, having not suffered such grievances in a long while.
The two old folks almost came to blows, while Tang Rao and his friends took out some fine wine and food, and found a mountaintop to peacefully enjoy a meal.
"Yang Zhi, are you really planning to go to North Island with Tang Rao?"
Shu Yi took a bite of lamb leg and a sip of beer, chatting casually.
"Of course, my dad agreed to let me go, plus North Island has always been a place I've yearned for. Not going there would be foolish."
Though Yang Zhi hadn't been to North Island, he had heard plenty of stories about it.
It was said that a mysterious street had silently appeared on North Island, selling many strange and peculiar items never seen or heard of before.
Yang Zhi longed for that place. Even though moving between East Island and North Island wasn't easy, he hadn't found the right opportunity to go.
Eventually, when Yang Zhi mentioned the street to Lao Yang, Lao Yang revealed to him that the mysterious street belonged to Tang Rao and that Tang Rao had brought in those strange items, though nobody knew where they came from.
Well, such secrets were naturally only Tang Rao would know, something exclusive to him.
"Since you're both going, staying alone on East Island wouldn't be interesting. Whether bringing one or two people, it's the same. Like you, I'm a peak-level god, capable and strong, a master on North Island. You, as the leader of the Kao Shan Sect, wouldn't refuse, would you?"
Shu Yi skillfully packaged himself; with others, he wouldn't need to be so serious, but before Tang Rao, he had to present himself well or risk being rejected. If Yang Zhi followed Tang Rao and left him drawing circles on the ground in frustration.
"Hmm, you're persuasive. My Kao Shan Sect has few peak-level godly strength individuals. I'm in dire need of masters like you, so if you're offering to come to North Island and join Kao Shan Sect, how could I refuse?"
Tang Rao agreed so easily?
When did he become so agreeable?
If they'd known, Yang Zhi and Lao Yang wouldn't have spent so much effort trying to convince Tang Rao. To persuade Tang Rao to take Yang Zhi, Lao Yang even offered countless treasures.
Shu Yi hadn't given anything but still received such a great benefit—so unfair!
Both Shu Yi and Yang Zhi were trapped in a vicious cycle.
They were both peak-level gods, scaring crowds with a stomp, yet in front of Tang Rao, who had just reached the late-stage god level, their pride vanished. If this wasn't a trap, what was it?
"Really? You mean I can go to Kao Shan Sect with you?"
Looking at Tang Rao, Shu Yi seemed more captivated than when eyeing beautiful women, making Tang Rao suspect that Shu Yi had some unmentionable preferences.
"Hmm, you're free to choose whether to go or not."
Shu Yi understood Tang Rao's meaning, and receiving confirmation made him even more excited.
"Of course, I'm going. You're my brother, and wherever my brother goes, I'll follow, ready to risk everything for him, hahaha."
