The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1540 - 1539: Tang Rao's Burden

It's said that the Vice Sect Leader has always liked Tang Rao, and Tang Rao has rejected Vice Sect Leader Xiao Yue more than once. Xiao Yue, unwilling to give up, continually seeks to win Tang Rao, only to be discovered by Wang Han, Tang Rao's legitimate wife. Ultimately, rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrow; why does Xiao Yue think she and Tang Rao could last?"Yue Er, they don't get tired from kneeling on the ground, I'm somewhat weary. Since there's not much of an issue, just announce the results and tell them what you're thinking."

Tang Rao, are you blind? Facing those kneeling on the ground, saying they're not tired and asking them to continue kneeling, if they kneel any longer, their knees would be destroyed. Standing up afterward would be quite challenging.

But the person before them is Tang Rao, a man with power and influence. His words are equivalent to commands; unsurprisingly, there is no more commotion below.

"Then Yue Er shall speak."

Yue Er coughed a bit, just to moisten her throat, and said: "Since I first followed the master to Kao Shan Sect, I've heard that the Vice Sect Leader has a secret crush on the master. Originally, affairs of the heart are free on both sides, but unfortunately, the mistress is narrow-minded and doesn't want to see her beloved shared with another woman. That's why these things happened. From a woman's perspective, ask yourselves, which woman would want to be provoked by another woman who secretly loves her man? Even if the mistress is at fault, it isn't a one-handed clapping situation. Since the matter is past, bringing it up again doesn't mean much."

Is this Yue Er's perspective?

Didn't Tang Rao ask Yue Er to fairly express her own opinion? Why do those kneeling hear only defense for Wang Han?

It's easy to think that a person with the most influence unexpectedly stands with Wang Han, completely destroying the temporary alliance they had formed. Seeing Tang Rao lean toward Yue Er's direction, they really want to get closer and check to see if everyone's eyes have problems.

"Actually, I also think Yue Er is right. I'm aware of every move Wang Han makes, and I'm aware of every move Xiao Yue makes. You people kneeling here, incited by Xiao Yue to stir the pot, go back and give Xiao Yue a message: if she causes trouble again next time, I might reconsider her position as Vice Sect Leader, and as for you—you easily succumb to provocation, remaining in high positions is unsuitable. If you really don't want to continue in Kao Shan Sect, you can step down early and make way for others!"

Tang Rao has never spoken so harshly to Kao Shan Sect's brothers or leadership team.

In the past, even if heaven broke, Tang Rao wouldn't mind, no matter the mistake, he could help mend it. He's always been kind to his subordinates, but today, in others' eyes, Tang Rao for his own selfish desires, didn't stand up for the Vice Sect Leader, let her suffer grievances, and made them feel unsafe. Such a leader for the first time gave them a terribly unfamiliar feeling.

Those who came aggressively, and left despondently, their hearts must be more entangled than tangled hair.

Watching the outsiders leave, Tang Rao finally sat down again, and in the quiet air shouted loudly: "Listening for so long at the corner, come out now."

Behind the screen, Wang Han quietly emerged alone.

"How did you know I was here?"

Wang Han's eyes were still red. If it weren't for the front hall full of kneelers, she'd have clapped her hands for five minutes straight, thanking Tang Rao for venting her anger.

"Laughing quietly in the back, the front can still hear clearly. If I hadn't isolated the sound from your side, do you think you could escape the tracking of those sly old foxes so easily?"

Speaking of being more powerful than Tang Rao, acting often without thought, perhaps it's not Wang Han's fault, just Tang Rao is too clever. Whoever compares with Tang Rao would be seen as significantly less intelligent.

"Should I be thanking you?"

Wang Han rolled her eyes at Tang Rao, just filled with gratitude, and in the blink of an eye, reverted to her usual tactics against Tang Rao.

"I heard it clearly earlier, why stand in my position to speak for me, you offend your brothers and leaders around you one by one, aren't you afraid of watching them become traitors to Kao Shan Sect for someone as worthless as me?"

Wang Han dares to speak, so she dares to let Tang Rao think deeply.

Tang Rao didn't show the expression she wanted to see, Wang Han was a bit disappointed.

But the subsequent conversation aligned with Wang Han's thoughts, she turned joyous again.

"I don't believe you do so many things without wanting some return, this time you can openly state your requests, but don't ask for too much."

Directly rewarding Wang Han?

Yue Er is naive, she's been following Tang Rao all along, whatever Tang Rao does, sees who, experiences what, Yue Er is entirely aware. She considers herself the one who understands Tang Rao most during this period, but Wang Han's conversation with Tang Rao is only understood by the two of them, leaving Yue Er quite confused.

"Before wanting anything, you still have to answer me one question—when did you begin to want to help me with this matter?"

Wang Han was still happily considering what she should ask for soon, how to wisely use this promise when Tang Rao continues questioning Wang Han.

She knows that acquiring information from Tang Rao is harder than ascending to the heavens.

"Not too long ago, just when I first entered Zijing City, stared down by your enemy full of hostility."

This reason is quite compelling; Tang Rao only thought the idea came out in recent days, unknown to him Wang Han started action early on.

He surprisingly found a woman of action.

"You made Xiao Yue realize her identity in Kao Shan Sect is awkward, let her know even if she becomes Vice Sect Leader, she is still worthless. Perhaps she'll focus on improving herself, or maybe she'll stray off course and fight against me. What do you think she'll choose?"

Tang Rao gives Wang Han an extreme two-sided question, challenging Wang Han for an immediate response.

"I hope she can reform, understand her status in Kao Shan Sect, not to let herself go too far, but she already has made a choice within her heart. You shouldn't ask me this question, sometimes when confused, you ought to ask Xiao Yue instead."

After an intellectual encounter with Tang Rao, both Tang Rao and Wang Han regard each other differently.

They initially thought the other was merely a shallow parasite with nothing but appearance, yet their thoughts turned out to be profoundly deep.

There are plenty of interesting looks, but seldom interesting souls.

"You perceive more clearly than I, you said something right in front of Xiao Yue. Their abilities are below mine, and if not for sticking by my side transitioning from Kao Shan Sect to Kao Shan Gate, perhaps I would've abandoned such a group long ago. The further you progress, the tougher the journey. Relying solely on them can only become my burden."
