"Since you've said it like that, let's believe you once more. You'd better remember what promises you've made to us."
As for Tang Xiaobai's credibility, no one knows yet. Now that Tang Xiaobai has caught them off guard, even if it's forced, even if Tang Xiaobai goes back on his word, they can only accept it.
Tang Xiaobai left the weapons factory satisfied, while Tang Rao was still worried about the hidden hand behind everything.
He sent people to investigate, over on East Island. Since Tang Rao left, the Eldest Son of Yan Family disappeared into thin air too, not even leaving a trace. According to those people there, the Eldest Son of Yan Family should have gone somewhere else and is definitely not on East Island.
North Island?
Tang Rao's first reaction was that the Eldest Son of Yan Family is still on North Island. He came to North Island, poisoned Tu Lingfeng personally, and hasn't rushed to escape, instead staying here, waiting for the next opportunity to act.
The whole Kao Shan Street was almost covered with Tang Rao's footprints as he paced back and forth, making Shu Yi and Yang Zhi cover their eyes to avoid getting dizzy.
"Boss, the whole street is filled with our footprints. Why don't you consider walking somewhere else or finding another way to vent?"
Yang Zhi gave Tang Rao several tempting suggestions, but unfortunately, they were all rejected by Tang Rao.
"No, I'm feeling restless. If I don't walk around, I can't calm down."
Tang Rao was more than just restless; the Eldest Son of Yan Family targeted Tu Lingfeng. When he learns this attempt failed, he'll quickly launch another round of revenge. With Tu Lingfeng alive, who will be the next chosen target? Over this time, how many eighth-grade Elixir Pills will be needed?
"You keep walking, it's agitating for us to watch. As guests from afar, don't you think it's rather painful for us to just wander Kao Shan Street without going inside any shops?"
Shu Yi was counting on his fingers, eyes on the ground, casually expressing his grievance.
Knowing that no matter how he spoke, Tang Rao's anxiety wouldn't lessen, Shu Yi didn't bother to persuade more.
"Do people from East Island hold grudges?"
Tang Rao spoke without context, leaving Shu Yi dumbfounded with his question.
"Our East Island? Just look at me and Yang Zhi. I know you think the Eldest Son of Yan Family is a bit disgraceful, but such scoundrels are quite rare on our East Island. You can't just condemn everyone, right?"
Speaking of this, Shu Yi didn't agree. On East Island, he was famous for being a good man: kind and positive. How could Tang Rao believe everyone there is just like the Eldest Son of Yan Family, shameless?
"Brother, I'm a bit aggrieved by your words. I'm also from East Island, and I'm just like Shu Yi, a model among models, a representative among representatives. You can't condemn a whole group. I must agree with this point."
In certain aspects, Yang Zhi stood firmly with Shu Yi. As fellow East Islanders, they wouldn't allow Tang Rao to slander their region.
"Where do you think the Eldest Son of Yan Family might be? The most dangerous place is the safest. Could he still be in Zijing City?"
Tang Rao was merely suspicious. Beyond that, he truly didn't know where the Eldest Son of Yan Family considered safe.
"Zijing City, huh? I also think it's Zijing City. Shu Yi, what do you think?"
It was rare for Yang Zhi to reach a consensus with Shu Yi because Shu Yi happened to think the same way.
"I think so too."
Well, the three of them all felt that he was likely in Zijing City; the answer was already apparent.
But Zijing City is so vast, hiding someone there is simple enough, whereas finding that hidden person is harder than ascending to the heavens.
"Bastard! This time he dared to provoke Lord Tai Sui. If I don't find him and chop him up as a warning, being the Kao Shan Sect leader is a waste."
Tang Rao spat on the ground. He felt he owed it to himself to say some harsh words.
"Boss, your hair's about to burn. First calm down, take a deep breath."
Shu Yi patted Tang Rao's solid back twice.
Tang Rao's heart was infuriated; even after being patted, he was still very agitated.
"Let's go, let's go back and find him. As long as he's in my Kao Shan Sect, I'll find him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."
"Hey, going back now might mean not finding him anyway. We've walked up and down Kao Shan Street more than ten times without going into a single shop. Let's go in and play, have fun, then go back and happily look for him seriously. How about that?"
The strange things in these shops were so alluring, Shu Yi guaranteed that if they followed Tang Rao away now, who knows when they'd have another chance to come back and see this place.
"First find him, and only then come back. You can pick anything inside, I'll give you a discount."
Shu Yi and Yang Zhi just wanted to have a look; this small wish was something Tang Rao wouldn't grant. Are they still good friends?
Aggrieved, too aggrieved, but after seeing Tang Rao's firm expression, Shu Yi and Yang Zhi knew talking more wouldn't help. Ultimately, they caved under Tang Rao's overwhelming pressure.
The Eldest Son of Yan Family had late-stage upper-god strength, something Tang Rao had noticed and remembered early on. As someone just promoted to late-stage upper god compared to someone who's been one for a long time, his strength would still be quite inferior.
If talking about who in Kao Shan Sect has greater strength than Tang Rao, he could think of three: Granny Hua, Hua Wuque, and Wu Suowei. The only one he could rely on was Wu Suowei.
Before returning to Kao Shan Sect, Tang Rao instructed Wu Suowei to be vigilant. If anyone suspicious appeared around Kao Shan Sect, no matter who it was, they shouldn't be allowed to slip by.
After instructing Wu Suowei, Tang Rao opened all the surveillance installed on Zijing City's walls for real-time monitoring. Unable to watch alone, he enlisted Yan Wei to assist, ensuring no one escaped, before hurriedly heading home.
"You told me so much in Illusion City, making me cautious about suspicious people in Zijing City. Has something happened again?"
With Wu Suowei as Tang Rao's disciple for so long, he knew what Tang Rao was like — he wouldn't be so serious without a major matter, repeatedly warning him to watch for suspicious people in Zijing City.
Regarding that suspicious person, Wu Suowei was sure it brought Tang Rao a sense of crisis; otherwise, Tang Rao wouldn't be so anxious.
"Something has indeed happened, something big."
