The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1736 - 1735: Taking a Disciple

"Um... you're not going to tell your dad what we just talked about, are you?"Cha Xiangzi asked tentatively.

He originally thought Tang Xiaobai was just a child, even if in some areas he was more capable than adults, his mindset would still be like other kids his age.

Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong. Only a fool would think Tang Xiaobai was easy to deceive, and that everything would be easily conveyed to him.

"Xiao Bai wants to keep it a secret, but Dad already knows that I know what you said."

Tang Xiaobai's eyes were bright and shiny, like a transparent spring, the spring water danced in his eyes, a brilliance that could set one's gaze afire.

"What do you mean? Your dad's not even here, how does he know?"

Cha Xiangzi only assumed Tang Xiaobai was joking with him, trying to deceive him.

"How does he know? You don't have a clue?"

Tang Xiaobai pointed at their eyes. Anyone from the Kao Shan Sect had an Illusion City, which was standard. As long as Tang Rao wanted, he could open any of their Illusion Cities from behind the scenes and know where they were and what they were doing.

Only if necessary would Tang Rao bother doing such boring things.

"Illusion City? Boss wouldn't bother with that; I don't believe he'd do something like that."

In this regard, Geng Bucuo had nothing but absolute trust in Tang Rao.

"You guys know my dad too well. My dad indeed wouldn't do such things; you guessed it right. But what if I turn on the recording function and let my dad hear clearly what you said earlier?"

Tang Xiaobai started to feel envious of Tang Rao.

Why does Tang Rao have so many loyal brothers by his side, while he doesn't even have a peer friend?

He wanted to stir trouble, make others dissatisfied with Tang Rao, and see if everyone was truly loyal to Tang Rao.

"You little rascal, you look so cute, but your thoughts aren't like a kid at all."

If he were Cha Xiangzi's child, he'd certainly get a good scolding.

"I'm just mature for my age, not like you guys, lacking ambition."

Was he saying they lacked ambition?

That made them feel a bit uncomfortable.

"No matter, even if the boss thinks I deceived him and kicks me out of the Kao Shan Sect, I've been by the boss's side for so many years, and I'm content."

Geng Bucuo's eyes were not filled with greed. As for whether he could bear leaving, of course, he didn't want to, but even still, one must accept fate.

After making so many mistakes, leaving was only a matter of time. This time just came sooner than Geng Bucuo had anticipated.

"Content? Content with what? Did you forget why you followed the boss in the first place? For so many years, we endured the hardest days together. Now that the Kao Shan Sect has grown, you're just thinking of leaving? At least be honest with the boss and ask for a chance to stay, right?"

If you don't give it a shot, how would you know if you could make it?

"Hahaha, Uncle Geng, Uncle Cha Xiangzi, you're really adorable. My dad doesn't even have time for such trivial things. I was just being childish. Don't mind me!"

Want to sow discord? From their words, he could already tell Geng Bucuo's loyalty to Tang Rao. If he continued to stir things up, it wouldn't work and would only raise suspicions. So, Tang Xiaobai decided to retreat to advance, trying to win over Cha Xiangzi and Geng Bucuo to his side.

"Uncles, look, my good-for-nothing dad has little interest besides thinking about beauties every day. Now, look at me, such a promising child. Not nurturing a talent like me is such a pity. Why don't you do me a favor, quit with my dad, and take me as your apprentice, teaching me to be the pillar of the Kao Shan Sect?"

No matter how Tang Xiaobai persuaded, as thick-skinned as a city wall, they did not relent.

"Teach you? Don't kid us, your dad couldn't teach you, and what meager skills Uncle Geng and I have aren't enough for you."

Cha Xiangzi wouldn't take Tang Xiaobai as an apprentice. The kid was even sharper than his dad. Forget about teaching Tang Xiaobai; it's a miracle if they are not outsmarted by him.

"No worries, I'm quick to learn and promise to become your most accomplished student. How about reconsidering?"

Tang Xiaobai continued negotiating terms, but Cha Xiangzi and Geng Bucuo were steadfast in 'not looking for trouble.'

"We really can't teach such an outstanding student as you. You should seek someone more qualified."

This made Tang Xiaobai quite upset. So many people wanted to be his mentor, yet he hadn't agreed. But when he wanted to be an apprentice, people didn't consider him worthy. This kind of rejection he'd never faced before.

"Are you sure you won't agree? Fine, then I'll go back and tell my dad that Uncle Geng doesn't actually want to be with him and thinks we're useless."

Tang Xiaobai couldn't threaten Geng Bucuo, but he believed that adding Tang Rao to the mix would make a difference.

"A gentleman is open-minded; using your dad to threaten us is a bit much."

The factory originally ran smoothly, no one paid attention to the iron chimney's end, but Cha Xiangzi's voice was too loud, attracting several glances.

The more people there are, the more you should be mindful of eavesdroppers.

What started as a trivial matter might be turned into a big deal if someone decides to fan the flames.

"The request was simple. You kept refusing. What can I do but threaten you? If you agreed earlier, I wouldn't have had to do this. Don't you agree?"

Tang Xiaobai's big eyes welled up with tears again. Can't he stop crying whenever he's upset? It makes them feel terribly guilty.

"Uncle Geng, why don't we take him as our apprentice? That way, he won't tell the boss about it, and you can stay with the boss."

Cha Xiangzi couldn't bear seeing Geng Bucuo give up the chance to stay by Tang Rao's side, nor could Geng Bucuo.

"Are you sure that if we take you in, you'll act as if nothing happened and won't stir trouble with your dad?"

Geng Bucuo clearly doubted Tang Xiaobai's reliability.

"Of course, a gentleman's word is his bond. I'm a man of my word. You can be completely at ease."

Tang Xiaobai patted his chest, making repeated assurances.
