The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1184 - 1183: Advocating the Capable

On the surface, it seemed like he made a casual choice, but Tang Rao was not at ease; that night, he did some stargazing to confirm his thoughts.Choosing Li Yun was definitely not a mistake.

Far away in the Li Family, Li Yun suddenly sneezed in the middle of the night.

Li Yun didn't know what was happening; sneezing on a clear day was not normal at all.

Early the next morning, Tang Rao returned to the Li Family to supervise. Li Zhentong was extremely fast; just before Tang Rao stepped in the door, Li Zhentong had already found all the carpenters and had everything ready.

"Tang Rao, come and take a look at these seventy carpenters. They are all master craftsmen from the Divine Realm. What do you think?"

Li Zhentong didn't want to tell Tang Rao how much effort it took to gather these seventy people.

"Not bad, but seventy people are still far too few. I need at least five hundred people for even one phase of this, and there are three phases. Seventy carpenters are just too few."

Seventy is too few?

Back when Li Zhentong was building his place, he only used a hundred people, but to build this place, Tang Rao needed five hundred?

How many good carpenters are there in the Divine Realm anyway?

"Should I try to find more?"

Even while being fairly tactful, Li Zhentong offered, but Tang Rao was not as courteous as Li Zhentong; he directly accepted with enthusiasm.

"Alright, then thank you, father-in-law."

He actually accepted, just like that, without any hesitation?

"No problem, it's nothing."

Li Zhentong rubbed his hands, blushing, looking as if he wanted to refuse but just couldn't.

"Here's the design I want; see if you can make it."

It was an internal blueprint of the Forbidden City. Who knows how Yan Wei managed to get his hands on such things.

"What kind of building is this? It's beautiful."

Tang Rao handed the blueprint to the leading carpenter, who trembled with excitement upon seeing it.

"Don't worry about what it's called; just tell me if you can build it."

What if they can't?

"We can do it, sure, but it will take a bit of time."

The carpenters passed the blueprint around, finally giving it back to Tang Rao.

"It's normal for it to take longer; as long as you can make it look this good, I can wait."

"Oh, by the way, let me know if you can also make this Dragon Chair."

Tang Rao brought out the Dragon Chair design as well, an exquisite piece that left the carpenters dumbfounded.

"Excuse me, could you tell me who designed this building? These creations are unbelievably ingenious. If we could meet the designer, we would die with no regrets."

Isn't that a bit exaggerated? It's just an Imperial Palace design; it's quite common on Blue Star. Wouldn't it be more common in the Divine Realm?

The Divine Realm ranks several levels above Blue Star, after all.

"That's just something a friend of mine doodled; nothing worth mentioning."

If Tang Rao weren't so important, the carpenters might have beaten him to death.

"Since you don't want to say, we won't push it. We'll follow the blueprint and make the Dragon Chair you want first; you can decide if it's acceptable afterward."

Creating something so exquisite is the highest pride and honor for the carpenters of the Divine Realm.

"Alright, that's settled then."

Building the Dragon Chair would test the carpenters' ability and see if they can handle this honorable yet challenging task.

"Father-in-law, shall we find a place to chat? There's something I want to discuss with you."

Tang Rao settled the carpenters and took Li Zhentong aside.

"What is it?"

Li Zhentong couldn't imagine what Tang Rao might need to discuss with him.

"Father-in-law, how much do you know about the Li Family?"

The Li Family?

Li Zhentong, being smarter than others, quickly figured out which Li Family Tang Rao referred to.

"You're talking about Li Yun's family?"

Tang Rao nodded.

"Yes, exactly, Li Yun."

Why did everyone seem intimidated when Tang Rao asked about Li Yun? Could it be that Li Yun was a man-eater or something?

Despite everything else, Tang Rao thought Li Yun was quite nice; when Tang Rao asked Li Yun for a bracelet, Li Yun gave it to him, which showed generosity.

"Tang Rao, Li Yun is someone you don't want to provoke. It's best not to get involved with them unless necessary."

Better to stay away from Li Yun?

But Tang Rao wanted everything Li Yun had! Such a reckless move, Li Zhentong wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"It's fine; I'm just asking. Getting a bit of insight could benefit the Li Family."

When deceiving Li Zhentong, Tang Rao didn't even blush.

"Li Yun is a smiling tiger, ruthless to the core, even to close family. You really don't want to mess with someone like that."

Yet another one you don't want to provoke?

Tang Rao wasn't afraid of poking a tiger's backside; Li Yun was just an ordinary person, nothing to worry about.

That's what Tang Rao thought.

"Is that all about not provoking him?"

Tang Rao questioned, only to see Li Zhentong nod in agreement.

"That's all I know. Li Yun's actions are quite secretive; even if we wanted to find out more, not much is known."

Huh?

Li Yun's private life is even more secretive than a superstar's?

The more mysterious he gets, the more interested Tang Rao became in researching him.

"Alright then, it's pointless to ask anyway."

Asking too deeply might arouse Li Zhentong's suspicion suddenly.

Tang Rao, with nothing much to do, wandered along the street, suddenly feeling an invincible loneliness.

"Excuse me, do you know where the Helper Hall is?"

Tang Rao was stopped mid-walk.

"No..."

Tang Rao was about to say he didn't know.

He's tremendously relieved he spoke slowly just now.

"Beauty, Helper Hall isn't a good place; how about I take you somewhere better instead?"

Tang Rao looked at the woman in front of him with enthusiasm, his eyes nearly glued to her chest.

"Pervert!"

Tang Rao only intended to do a good deed, not expecting to be labeled with such a heavy title by the woman.

"Miss, you probably misunderstood me. I just wanted to do a good deed; why won't you listen to me?"

Tang Rao had been to Helper Hall; the people there were not ones to mess with.

"Do you or do you not know where Helper Hall is? If not, I'll ask someone else."

The lady, clearly impatient, seemed ready to lose her temper after just one question.

"Of course I know. How about I accompany you as your Guardian Angel? What if someone harasses you?"

Tang Rao was very kind-hearted; he had never offered this kindness to anyone else.

"Where is it?"

The woman asked for the last time.

How did he know it was the last time?

Because her dagger was already at Tang Rao's throat.

"Miss, I'm just a kind-hearted person. There's no need to claim my life over this. I'll take you there."

After speaking, Tang Rao deliberately tossed the dagger aside, walking ahead: "It's right up here. I'll take you there."

After hearing Tang Rao would lead her, the woman's expression finally softened quite a bit.
