The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1197 - 1196: Illusion Technique

"Then let's go now."Tang Rao immediately made a decision.

The Qin Family is a family specializing in arrays, and Tang Rao discovered its subtlety just by entering.

"Qin Qing, your father and grandfather are really something. Even if outsiders get permission to enter your home, they can't use their powers. Do you think they're peace-loving or just afraid to die?"

Loving peace seems unlikely, being afraid to die is a possibility.

"Stop talking, don't let my dad and grandpa have any opinions about you."

Qin Qing has great respect for her father and grandfather and is afraid the elders might get angry at Tang Rao.

"Your grandpa and dad aren't my grandpa and dad. If they have a bad attitude towards me, I can choose not to work with them."

Tang Rao didn't necessarily have to use this family for the array; if things didn't work out, he could just find someone else or another place to do it.

"You brat, you're already being so rude just arriving at the Qin Family!"

Tang Rao knew very well not to speak ill of others in their house, yet even without fully closing his mouth, he had already attracted the attention of the host.

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

He knew this person was either Qin Qing's father or some other relative, but the likelihood of it being Qin Qing's father was higher.

"Dad, why are you here? We agreed to wait, didn't we?"

"Wait for what? If I wait any longer, this kid will make the Qin Family seem worthless."

Qin Qing's father seemed mild-tempered, but every word he said felt like a stab to the heart.

"Old man, so you're Qin Qing's father? She insisted I come find you to set up an array. I just came to ask if you're willing to help me set it up or not?"

Qin Qing's face changed drastically.

That wasn't at all what Tang Rao said just now; why did it change when talking to her dad?

"I...?"

The old man was puzzled.

Qin Qing insisted on him setting up an array for the Tang Family; he thought it was Tang Rao asking Qin Qing for help. But now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Dad, you promised, you can't go back on your word."

Qin Qing shook her father's hand, persuading him until he had no choice but to follow his daughter's wish.

"Qin Qing, you're old enough now to do what you want. I'll support anything you say, but if someone really doesn't want to, we shouldn't force it on them."

The old man had been setting up arrays in the Divine Realm for many years, always being sought after by others, never having to humble himself for anyone.

"Dad, Tang Rao is different from others. I like him, and I want him to know I'm the best woman around him. Please don't ruin this."

When Qin Qing told her father, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

"Qin Qing, are you kidding? Weren't you in love with Bai Tang? That man made you so devoted and you even wanted to elope with him. How have you changed so quickly?"

Qin Qing wasn't someone who frequently changed her mind about people, unless Tang Rao was truly exceptional enough for her to leave Bai Tang and want to be with Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao, my daughter treats you so well. What can you possibly complain about? Is my daughter not good enough, or do you have other ideas?"

The old man looked at Tang Rao seriously, trying to see through him.

"Old man, I already have a wife. I've seen the guy your daughter liked before; he's excellent and fits her well. You should matchmake them instead of us, don't you think?"

Bai Tang and Qin Qing make a good match, perfectly suitable for each other. Tang Rao was just a small figure, not a good match for the Qin Family, and he was fully aware of that.

"You have a wife? Do you mind having another one, or perhaps swapping one out? In the Divine Realm, it's possible as long as you're willing."

The old man had an open mind, hoping for Qin Qing and Tang Rao to be together, but Tang Rao was different.

When it came to women, Tang Rao wouldn't even touch those who were unattractive or not pure-hearted.

"Old man, I really mind having someone else's wife. Qin Qing is a good girl; it's just that we're not a good match. Please spare me."

Tang Rao came to discuss setting up an array; somehow, the conversation shifted to romance in the end.

"Tang Rao, let me ask you, do you not want to be with my daughter?"

The old man hit the nail on the head, asking the question Qin Qing had always wanted to ask.

"Hmm, I just want to ask if the array can be set up. If not, I'll set it up myself."

Ha!

This young man's quite the character, wanting to set up the array himself, suggesting he's dismissive of veteran array masters.

"Young friend, do you look down upon us old folks? If you're interested, come to my array chamber. How about we spar a little?"

The old man directly challenged Tang Rao.

Although it was a bit unfair for an experienced array elder to spar with a junior, he couldn't let this go or he'd have trouble sleeping tonight.

"Sure, I haven't seen the real arrays of the Divine Realm yet. It's my honor to visit an elder's array chamber."

Tang Rao was taken to the array chamber by the old man. Although it was called a small array room, Tang Rao found it full of profound changes upon entering.

"Old man, this is more than just a small room, isn't it? I encountered an illusion array right as I entered, giving a cramped feeling, but the wind here feels like it's from a cliff, too fierce to be inside a room."

Tang Rao was astute, and as soon as he spoke, the illusion array was broken by him.

An unsuspecting person might falter at the first hurdle and risk their life for being too bold.

"Young friend Tang Rao can see it, proving your claims of being an array master are unmistakable."

Between cliffs was a thin rope; the second challenge lay across on the other side.

"The other side of the cliff houses another array. Do you dare to take a look?"

The old man used a taunt, and Tang Rao agreed without a word.

"Old man, I can cross easily, but using a fake rope to trick me—do you take me for a fool or have you always had it out for me?"

The old man felt differently about Tang Rao after being called out.

He admired Tang Rao, offering a sort of elder's appreciation towards a younger person.

"Young man, I finally understand why Qin Qing is so fond of you; maybe it's for your honesty."

"Old man, your flattery won't work on me. Your praises won't make me develop feelings for your daughter; it's useless."

Tang Rao indulged in a moment of self-love and arrogance.

"Young man, you've got it wrong. I purely want to express my admiration for you, unrelated to my daughter's affection."

The old man was misunderstood by Tang Rao, and he felt more than a bit of grievance about it.

"Old man, if we need to cross, just drop the illusion. There should be a bridge after all, especially if you're so afraid to die."
