The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1713 - 1712: Wanted

No matter how hard Hai Lai knocked on the door, the people inside didn't respond, and he began to feel disappointed.Sitting outside the gate, Hai Lai somewhat despairingly opened Illusion City, not expecting to see such explosive news just after entering it.

The video that Tang Rao filmed and uploaded online had gone viral, and nearly everyone in the comments section was discussing just how gutsy Hai Lai could be.

"So many family members have been killed by Hai Lai, and he still dares to admit it, acting like he doesn't care about anything. I think even if the Hela family backs him up this time, he won't be able to escape unscathed."

"The Hela family? If he's counting on them for hope, then he's truly doomed. Don't you know that the Hela family has already publicly stated that Hai Lai has nothing to do with them, and everything he did was of his own volition and has nothing to do with the Hela family?"

...

After reading the discussions, Hai Lai was nearly on the verge of collapse.

No wonder he couldn't even get into his own home; all of this was related to Tang Rao.

If it weren't for Tang Rao, he wouldn't be so miserable now.

"Do you know that those families with missing members have already started looking for people? They've put out a word that no matter if their family members have had any mishaps, they will hassle Hai Lai, making him realize that with such malicious intentions, he should be punished accordingly."

The victim families have already started looking for people?

These words were undoubtedly a heavy blow, striking deep into Hai Lai's heart.

"So this is what Tang Rao was aiming for?"

Hai Lai was beside himself with regret; he should have known better what to say and when, and the fact that he spoke recklessly was because he was convinced Tang Rao would be his defeated rival. Who could have expected such a major incident?

"But do you think you can destroy me like this? I tell you, it's impossible, not now and not ever!"

After being abandoned by the entire Hela family, Hai Lai had nothing left. Barefooted, he feared nothing now that he was left with nothing.

Tang Rao couldn't help but sneeze.

"Someone must be badmouthing me behind my back."

Tang Rao sneezed again, this time even Yang Zhi began to suspect Tang Rao might have caught a cold.

"Who's so bored they have nothing better to do than badmouth you?"

Shu Yi poured himself a cup of tea, enjoying it quite much.

"How would I know who it is? Could it be Hai Lai?"

Tang Rao hadn't been offending anyone lately; the only person he could think of was Hai Lai.

"That little brat clearly isn't an easy one to deal with. He surely went back to the Hela family to cause you trouble, but now it seems he can't even protect himself, let alone trouble you."

Shu Yi snapped a screenshot of the content in Illusion City and sent it to Tang Rao. Seeing the exciting content inside, Tang Rao felt all delighted.

"The Hela family isn't easy to deal with either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have issued a notice even before he returned, immediately drawing a clear line with Hai Lai. Such heartless actions wouldn't happen to anyone around me at least."

Tang Rao wasn't very pleased with Hai Lai's entire family, the only satisfaction being that Hai Lai falling out with the Hela family was undeniably a big help for Tang Rao.

"So many people are after Hai Lai; this guy surely has enough on his plate lately."

The three of them gathered together fantasizing about the suffering Hai Lai would experience in the future, the more they thought about it, the sweeter life seemed.

"Yang Zhi, wouldn't your family mind if they found you here at our house?"

Yang Zhi was right there at the Shu family, and so many people were watching. Normally, the occasional interaction between the two families would seem quite normal, yet the relationship between the Shu and Yang families couldn't be interpreted by common sense.

Almost everyone on East Island knew that the Yang and Shu families didn't see eye to eye. The sudden closeness between the two families, suddenly becoming good friends, made those spectators quite disappointed.

"Would they mind? The little grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with our generation. Just because they can't stand each other doesn't mean we have to dislike each other too, right?"

If generations after generations couldn't stand each other, in years to come, when asked why they held such feelings against each other, perhaps even they wouldn't know the reason.

"You're right. I've got a pretty good impression of you. Whatever issues the previous generation had end right here; we'll still go about as we should in the future, keep interacting as appropriate. You have no issues with that, right?"

Yang Zhi was so straightforward, if Shu Yi kept hesitating, then he truly wouldn't show an ounce of manliness.

The reason the two of them grew so close was because of Tang Rao. When they started getting along, they didn't even acknowledge Tang Rao, which left Tang Rao feeling a bit hurt and slightly disappointed.

"You two traitors, so the Shu and Yang families are getting along, and that has nothing to do with me?"

His heart was practically shattered by these two.

"It's not about whether it concerns you; the Kao Shan Sect is such a big sect, our Shu and Yang families, who wouldn't want to make friends? It's just that we are on East Island, without the chance to go to North Island. If we had time, we'd have already sent our greeting cards to Kao Shan Sect."

No matter how much truth was in Tang Rao's words or if he was angry, Shu Yi's attitude toward Tang Rao was quite clear. That the two families were getting along couldn't be separated from Tang Rao's mediation; they were on East Island, looking to expand to North Island, visiting Tang Rao was simply a matter of time.

The greatest fate of all was meeting Tang Rao on East Island and becoming friends. Now, even without visiting North Island, their relationship was strong, and they could look forward to future cooperation and mutual benefits.

"Those are easy words to say, but whether they're true or not remains to be seen."

Tang Rao spoke thus, but his heart felt warm.

"It's a waste of time talking so much nonsense. We might as well go out and find out just how miserable Hai Lai's situation is."

How miserable could it be?

Miserable or not, Tang Rao could guess with his toes — being chased by countless enemies, getting limbs chopped, quartered. Could there be a worse fate than that?

Then again, the sight of severed limbs, being torn apart could occasionally be quite affecting to witness.

Before leaving the house, Old Man Shu had sought out Tang Rao alone, asking how they survived after the mountain collapse, but Tang Rao was vague in his reply.

The old man wasn't blind; Tang Rao's expression had already betrayed his heart.

"Actually, it had a little something to do with me, but that doesn't affect our relationship, wouldn't you agree?"

The old man knew, Tang Rao wasn't easy to deal with. He went out with mid-stage Heavenly God peak strength and came back with late-stage Heavenly God power.
