The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1316 - 1315: The Hongmen Banquet

Xiao Yue likes her?Tang Rao thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure out why Xiao Yue would fall for him.

He also couldn't understand why Geng Bucuo likes Xiao Yue at the same time Xiao Yue likes Tang Rao?

Can't someone just like a person clearly and plainly?

"Tang Rao, you're pretty lucky. Xiao Yue likes you, and you have no thoughts about it?"

Outside, Tang Rao was teased by his friends; when he returned to the main courtyard, he was mocked by his women too. It's really been too much for him.

"Alright, Tang Rao is probably annoyed and doesn't know what to do, so stop teasing him."

Tu Hongxiu persuaded a couple of times, and You Xiaoxiao sensibly kept quiet.

"Xiao Xiao, I've figured it out. Only Hong Xiu can keep you in check. If it were me, I'd probably be berated by you countless times."

You Xiaoxiao was affectionately called Xiao Xiao by Tang Rao, and this warm nickname by Tang Rao warmed her heart a lot.

"Berating you is giving you face; if I don't, I'd think it's a bit abnormal."

You Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Tang Rao but became immediately obedient at the sight of Tu Hongxiu.

"Can't pretend not to know, the girl has confessed."

Confess and you have to agree? That's not Tang Rao's style.

Although many times when someone confesses to Tang Rao, he naturally ends up with that woman.

This time is different; their conversation has already involved the brotherly relationship of Kao Shan Sect.

"I already have so many beauties around me, what more would I want? My appetite is limited; too many and I can't handle it."

Women only need to believe half of Tang Rao's words; if they listen too much, they'd think it's not very real.

Tang Rao had long been thinking of withdrawing and didn't intend to expand the circle of women to this extent.

"Xiao Yue is the pillar of Kao Shan Sect; her contributions are evident to us all, the only mistake being that she truly fell for you."

Alas, since ancient times, matters of feelings are not controlled by anyone, not even immortals.

"Stop talking, the more I think, the more annoyed I am. I just want some peace."

Tang Rao held his head in both hands, scratched his scalp vigorously, and turned to go to his own room.

"You seem confused, huh?"

A voice appeared next to Tang Rao's ear; Tang Rao recognized it as the Powerful Soul.

"I'm more than confused; I don't know if being handsome is my fault. Even if it is my fault, I'm willing to be punished, but I just don't want to harm the girl."

Tang Rao has never rejected a woman, but today he faltered with Xiao Yue, feeling more than a little guilty.

"Affairs of the heart are such a waste of time. With that time, why not find something to do, even cultivating would be good, your skill level is lower than I expected. If I can't absorb a large amount of nutrients from you, I'm going to fall into hibernation, and I think that's not something you want to see, right?"

The Powerful Soul, once regarded as a dispensable thing by Tang Rao, has now started to show its importance. If it goes into sudden hibernation, what will Tang Rao do?

"It's not something I want to see, so you need to let me eat to my fill!"

Let him eat to his fill?

When Tang Rao heard that, he felt a bit awkward.

Quite an embarrassment.

"Uh, I think we can change the subject."

Tang Rao knows his skill is somewhat inflated; the inflated skill makes his heart swell, and the consequence is forgetting to cultivate.

This is also why Granny Hua reminds Tang Rao to remember to cultivate, threatening to retract the skill if he forgets.

Can't let the inflated skill end up hurting Tang Rao, right?

"Boss, someone from the Kao Shan Sect is looking for you."

After cultivating all night, Tang Rao was full of energy. He opened Illusion City, only to find messages waiting for him.

"Who is it?"

Tang Rao, using Illusion City's new function, looked outside intently.

"Liu Tao?"

Why is Liu Tao looking for Tang Rao?

Though Tang Rao was puzzled, he didn't ask further.

"Bring him in."

With Tang Rao's consent, getting Liu Tao into Kao Shan Sect couldn't be easier.

"Tang Rao, seeing you is really too difficult nowadays; there are guards all over Kao Shan Sect. I want to storm in, but there's no way."

Liu Tao's expression couldn't be more pitiful.

"Sorry, bro, it's not been calm here recently. Can't sleep peacefully at night without proper security."

Tang Rao sincerely explained to Liu Tao.

Considering the recent events, Liu Tao understands why he only came to find Tang Rao now.

"I've heard about the recent events, but today I still want to invite you out for dinner."

Liu Tao is serious, not joking.

"Really, inviting me for dinner?"

Tang Rao has always been the one inviting others, and now someone wants to treat him; Tang Rao's quite pleased.

"Who's inviting me? Are there any beauties?"

When Tang Rao mentioned beauties, he meant it seriously. Although he harbors no ulterior motives, seeing beauties while eating is also a pleasure.

"Beauties, that I don't know, but if the boss really likes, I'll arrange it right away."

Arrange immediately?

Liu Tao's words startled Tang Rao.

He's seen wealthy, generous people but not someone as bold as Liu Tao.

"Forget it, I was kidding."

Joking like this?

Liu Tao doesn't play with the things Tang Rao mentioned, but if Tang Rao insists, he would try to make it happen.

Yet it turns out Tang Rao was only joking.

"When are we dining?"

Tang Rao was not planning to joke with Liu Tao; this time he is serious.

"Tonight, is that okay?"

The significance of this dinner is unknown to Tang Rao, but having food, being invited—it's an offer too good to refuse; eat first, talk later.

"Sure, definitely, just with a word from you, and I can follow you anytime."

Tang Rao's eyes sparkled, fearing Liu Tao might go back on his word and not take Tang Rao out.

"I think the time's about right, should we head out now?"

Talking about dining and leaving immediately? Isn't it a bit too fast? Still, Tang Rao needs a bit of preparation to head out.

"Given the good food, I'll go with you this time."

Claiming to go immediately made Tang Rao seem a bit wronged.

Liu Tao led the way, Tang Rao followed behind.

Thinking it would be some special place, it turned out they were just dining at the Liu Family, Liu Tao could've just sent a message, yet he personally came.

"Dad, brother Tang Rao is here."

Liu Tao proudly completed the task assigned by the old man.

"Young friend Tang Rao is here, please have a seat."

Faced with a table full of delicacies, Liu Family Patriarch meant nothing; Tang Rao, thinking only of food, forgot about everything else.

"Dad, you didn't even tell me, why suddenly decide to invite Tang Rao for dinner?"

What kind of statement is that, suddenly decided?

"Boy, do you know how to talk?"
