Chapter 1741 - 1740: Escape
"Brother, this is Kao Shan Sect, my territory. Can you be a bit more tactful and humble? No matter what, I don't think Zijing City is as bad as you said."Tang Rao felt wronged. He spent so much time fixing up Zijing City for what reason? Wasn't it just to make others envy him, to satisfy his vanity, to occasionally boast a little?
He really didn't want what he took pride in to be so looked down upon.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Yan Family's Eldest Son laughed, his incomplete set of teeth particularly catching the eye.
"Yes, you're right even when you look ugly. However, it's a pity that while you've always been right, you haven't said it to the right person, which is why I have to apologize to you; I have to take revenge on you."
Tang Rao's Taotie Hand was already prepared, channeling all energies from his body, and it smashed towards Yan Family's Eldest Son.
On Granny Hua's territory, the enhanced version of the Taotie Hand, after advancing to the late stage of the Supreme God, was truly formidable. The terrifying sound even made Granny Hua take a big step back.
"Good apprentice, my dear apprentice, the yard is mine, the house is mine. If you want to fight, change to another place. Don't bring it here."
Granny Hua spoke too late, thinking she could stop Tang Rao before he acted to save the plot she had painstakingly cultivated. She hadn't expected that the herbs she had just planted, not even close to harvest, would end up like this.
Tang Rao could feel that when he exerted the force earlier, it landed on Yan Family's Eldest Son. There was no reason for the person to vanish into thin air along with the energy.
"Master, where's he?"
From Tang Rao's angle, it was hard to see, but Granny Hua's angle should have been clear. Yet when Tang Rao asked Granny Hua, her reply was the same: she hadn't seen him.
"Normally, you would have hit him into this pit, and someone at the late stage of the Supreme God wouldn't be so easily defeated. The only explanation is that after being hit, that person escaped."
"No way, I just showcased the enhanced version of the Taotie Hand. How exactly did he escape?"
The power of the enhanced Taotie Hand was stronger than Tang Rao imagined. When he released that force, he felt it intensely. That punch shouldn't have gone wrong. The only possibility was that Yan Family's Eldest Son hadn't shown his full power before and had always been pretending.
"How would I know? But never mind that for now. What about my yard, my herbs? You destroyed the herbs I planted, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Tang Rao was Granny Hua's student, always under her tyranny. Knowing well that he was in the wrong, he didn't dare utter a word of opposition.
"Good Master, in Zijing City, your place has the best location. The yard being destroyed doesn't matter as much since we're still here. As for the herbs, I believe you won't blame me for that, right?"
After all, no one was more miserable than Tang Rao. At this time, for Granny Hua to demand compensation was akin to forcing a young man already disillusioned with life to do something against his will, an unethical move.
More precisely, it would be heartless!
Tang Rao put such a heavy label on Granny Hua and explained to her the geographical advantage of her residence. He suggested she temporarily stay somewhere a bit more secluded for two days. Once Tang Rao found someone to repair this place, she'd move back to avoid him needing to find a new place for her.
"Tang Rao, you are something else. So many places to go, yet you come here to find a culprit. Instead of catching the culprit, you've demolished my home. I seriously doubt if you came to catch the culprit or to retaliate against me."
Though Granny Hua's words were harsh, she was very satisfied with Tang Rao's solution.
Back when she moved into Zijing City, Granny Hua had chosen this feng shui-rich spot. Now, trying to relocate her would take some time for her to adjust.
At least this kid has some conscience, keeping his word to quickly find someone to repair Granny Hua's house.
Granny Hua was pleased, but only Tang Rao was left troubled.
Ever since Yan Family's Eldest Son disappeared, Tang Rao couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. Even dreaming, he wondered where Yan Family's Eldest Son had escaped to.
"Tang Rao, still no movement over there?"
Yan Wei sent a message from Illusion City to Tang Rao, leaving Tang Rao even more troubled.
Even Yan Wei couldn't analyze the escape route of Yan Family's Eldest Son, so where could Tang Rao possibly discover it?
"Not a single sign. You say Yan Family's Eldest Son is amazing; he's only at the late stage of Supreme God. Why is his strength greater than mine, and even his escape skills far exceed mine? What's his motive? Is it truly just to get revenge on me?"
The stronger the person, the broader their mind should be. According to the storyline, Yan Family's Eldest Son shouldn't consider Tang Rao, this small fry. Even if their enemies slaughtered his family, it wasn't Tang Rao who did it. He shouldn't come for Tang Rao, he should seek revenge elsewhere.
"Revenge on you? I don't think so. It seems more like there's someone behind it manipulating things. Did you offend someone while I wasn't looking?"
Tang Rao was born a troublemaker, and Yan Wei wasn't meeting Tang Rao for the first time, hence the direct questioning.
"No, I've been like a sheltered girl, not stepping out or causing trouble, how could I have the time to offend anyone?"
Yan Wei's words made Tang Rao feel a bit aggrieved.
"So what do you have to say about Yan Family's Eldest Son then?"
What could he say? Tang Rao hadn't even thought of an explanation, as he himself was still confused.
"Forget it, the more I speak, the worse I feel. With the time spent asking you, I might as well search for him myself, consider it testing my luck."
Disconnecting the communication with Yan Wei from Illusion City, Tang Rao approached a large tree, and with a punch, it fell instantly at his feet.
"Who is so inconsiderate to disturb this Young Master's nap?"
The large tree was hollow. Despite living in Zijing City for so long, Tang Rao had never realized the tree in his yard was hollow, nor did he expect to find a little child inside it.
