Chapter 1746 - 1745: Making a Fool of Themselves
This time, Yan Wei didn't keep pointing things out in Illusion City as before. Instead, he created a 3D visualization for Tang Rao to look at. With this 3D map, Tang Rao found navigating as simple as walking through his backyard."A new invention. Don't mention it. You're the first to experience it."
Though Tang Rao had heard of 3D technology on Blue Star, he had never had the chance to experience it. To his surprise, he encountered such high technology in the Divine Realm.
"I'm truly honored then."
Following the directions on the 3D map, Tang Rao no longer felt any illusions and even found this unfamiliar path surprisingly smooth to walk.
"It's an honor for me too."
Yan Wei couldn't tell if Tang Rao was being sincere, but he was already feeling proud of his design.
"Duo Lei, I have a feeling something big is going to happen. I just can't calm down today. Are you sure this place is absolutely safe?"
The eldest son of the Yan Family cast a suspicious look at the man who appeared a bit ugly and mysterious.
Duo Lei hated being mistrusted the most in his life. Upon being questioned, his face turned darker than coal.
"Of course it's safe. What, are you doubting me?"
His tone was somewhat unfriendly. Naturally, the eldest son of the Yan Family sensed Duo Lei's displeasure.
"No, how could I doubt you? You're the person I trust the most, Duo Lei, you know how I feel about you."
The eldest son of the Yan Family had nowhere else to go. Apart from Duo Lei, who also coveted the treasures on Tang Rao, who else on this vast Northern Island would dare confront Tang Rao by sheltering him, the Yan Family's eldest son, a harbinger of misfortune?
"I know, but if you doubt me again next time, then I'm sorry. Even if I desire the things on Tang Rao, I won't cooperate with you, and you shouldn't stay here."
This was Duo Lei's warning to the eldest son of the Yan Family, a final reminder that he must clearly understand: other than placing full trust in Tang Rao, he had no other path, now or in the future.
"I know, I understand. I'm just a little restless, but don't worry, I won't do it again."
The eldest son of the Yan Family spoke many pleasing words to Duo Lei, which finally softened Duo Lei's demeanor, allowing them to indulge again in the fantasy of getting rich by killing Tang Rao.
"They're just inside. However, this guy is full of mysteries. Last time, he escaped by holding onto an Instant Transfer Talisman. If he uses another talisman this time, I think you might as well give up."
The speed of the Instant Transfer Talisman was just too fast. Their current monitoring quality and technology couldn't precisely trace the person once taken by the talisman. If Tang Rao encounters it a second time, he'd just have to resign himself to bad luck.
"Is an Instant Transfer Talisman really less valuable than elixirs I make? Surely, I can refine elixirs, but he can't endlessly draw talisman after talisman, right?"
That made sense, but Yan Wei still felt it was better to be cautious. Things might not always happen, but they might not never happen either.
Tang Rao must remember never to let his guard down, no matter the time.
Standing outside the door, Tang Rao was anxious. Instant Transfer Talisman, Instant Transfer Talisman, if it reappeared, Tang Rao would down all the elixirs he had created.
"Wait, I think I need to calm my nerves. After all, it's my first time facing a big shot, and I'm quite nervous!"
"I feel like I'm not fully prepared. How about I call my mentors before we proceed?"
???
Yan Wei had a retort on the tip of his tongue that he desperately wanted to say.
Just moments ago, they were talking about revenge with such passion. How could the mood change so much, and how could Tang Rao speak so differently from before when he was so full of bravado?
"The eldest son of the Yan Family is about to leave. Are you waiting for another chance, or are you going in now, or are you letting this opportunity slip without getting revenge?"
Yan Wei's words snapped Tang Rao back to his senses.
"Revenge, why not?"
Bracing himself, Tang Rao barged right through the door, feeling an excitement he hadn't felt in ages. The thrill of guilt-ridden delight was nostalgic.
The eldest son of the Yan Family's heart was in turmoil. Sure enough, once he looked towards the door again, he finally understood why he was so uneasy.
"Hi, haven't seen you in a few days, have you missed me?"
Tang Rao's smile was brighter than a flower. At this moment, he wanted to play some entrance music from a boombox, letting everyone know just how cool he was.
"Tang Rao, how did you know I was here?"
The eldest son first glanced at Tang Rao, then at Duo Lei, uncertain if Tang Rao was really well-informed or if Duo Lei, who swore this place was secure, had secretly betrayed him.
"Thanks to your friend here, I found out where you were."
Tang Rao's gaze and words were all directed at Duo Lei.
"Me? When?"
Duo Lei was in shock. He had just assured the eldest son of the Yan Family that this place was safe, saying he wouldn't betray him. Yet now, Tang Rao was pinning the blame on him, and the feeling of being backstabbed was utterly infuriating.
"It was a moment ago when you told me through Illusion City. I still have the records. Want me to show you those chats?"
Tang Rao never fought a battle unprepared. Owning Illusion City meant he could easily fabricate fake chat logs just for fun.
"Lao Yan, you know the kind of person I am. Tang Rao is deceiving you. I have no connection with him. You have to believe me."
Duo Lei was almost swearing oaths to assure the eldest son of the Yan Family of his position.
Earlier it was the eldest son's turn to clarify, now it was Duo Lei's, and the change was dizzyingly rapid.
"How can I believe you? Tang Rao deceiving you? You said only you knew of this place, so how did Tang Rao find it? What am I supposed to think?"
Finding Tang Rao's gaze so unwavering, the eldest son quickly sided with Tang Rao.
"Lao Yan, you and I are in the same boat. How could you choose to trust Tang Rao? What's on your mind?"
Given the drastic change in the person he was confronting, he regretted ever finding and partnering with him to conspire against Tang Rao.
"See, a single casual remark pits you against each other. How come the play didn't finish and why do I suddenly have no interest to watch anymore?"
What?
With Tang Rao's words, the pair suddenly became a joke in each other's eyes.
