Zhou Zhou felt anxious just watching; she had advised Rao Linger before that she should give Lin Zhen a chance when it's necessary, and Rao Linger had agreed readily. But at the critical moment, she actually changed her mind.
Tang Rao was really bored staying at the Rao Family alone, so he took out the Divine Stone to follow Rao Linger's scent and directly traveled over here.
No one in the Rao Family knew about Tang Rao's almost Golden Finger-like existence. They thought Tang Rao couldn't step out of the door, yet he not only left but had been away for quite a while.
He climbed up on the railing, finding such a secluded place to watch the most exciting 'performance.'
"Exactly, she should agree to him, take this woman in early so she won't cling to me anymore; women nowadays are truly terrifying."
Rao Linger couldn't hear Tang Rao's words, or else she would be infuriated.
The banquet hosted by the Central Island people was truly lavish; things that wealthy families wouldn't eat during festivals were casually everywhere at the banquet. Tang Rao had seen someone feeding richly Immortal Energy filled Sea Beast meat that fell on the ground, but wasn't too dirty, to the dog!
Meat that others on the island cherished not eating, they just accidentally let it drop on the ground, and then it was fed to the dogs.
Not to mention the extravagance, just by observing people's subconscious actions, one can see the life quality between those on Central Island and other islands is a world apart.
If only eating was the concern, at this moment he should be worried whether Rao Linger will end up with Lin Zhen.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, why are you also joining in and making a fuss? I need more time to think about my feelings. Whether Lin Zhen wants to continue waiting or plans to find someone else, I respect his decision."
Having said this, even the persistent Lin Zhen should understand there's certainly no result between them.
"Alright, although knowing the hope is bleak, I will still wait, Ling Er. I just hope the time I wait is not too long, can you promise that you could make this somewhat agonizing period shorter?"
This is Lin Zhen's only hope, and Rao Linger can still fulfill it.
"Okay, I promise."
For now, pass through this stage, and later find an excuse to end this fruitless relationship at another time; Lin Zhen probably wouldn't be as stimulated.
"Ling Er, this time you've voluntarily promised Lin Zhen a result. If you disappoint him again, I wonder how you will face him with good conscience."
Zhou Zhou just said the harsh words upfront; she has few good friends in this life, among the two, since her time hasn't come, she genuinely hopes Rao Linger finds companionship first otherwise wouldn't be urging them to be together if appropriate.
"I know, I know, Sister Zhou, please don't keep pestering me, alright?"
While Rao Linger was talking to Zhou Zhou, Lin Zhen took the time to explain to people around the earlier situation's cause and effect; the banquet continued as usual, as if the one dead one hurt, so many family children losing face, had nothing to do with him.
No, it should be said, they acted as if the matter never happened.
"It's strange, what does Lin Zhen's family do that he dares to pursue Rao Linger, it shows they aren't merely climbing high. The only thing that comes to mind is, Lin Zhen's family strength must be stronger than Zhou Zhou's and Rao Linger's."
Tang Rao, like a detective, conjectured through threads what exactly these people do on Central Island.
"Hey, there's a rumor that Rao Linger is finished this time!"
With people eating cheerfully, Tang Rao, after witnessing the grand scene, was planning to leave, accidentally hearing someone mention Rao Linger's name.
"No way, Young Master Lin just heroically saved the beauty, supporting Miss Ling Er, you say she's finished? What does this mean?"
Where there are people, there are disputes; with disputes come gossip. Tang Rao in the midst naturally sees gossip and wants to hear the rest.
"Actually, I overheard this by accident; there's no concrete news yet, but heard Lu Yao is unsatisfied, just left Lin Family, rallied a group of experts saying she'd spend heavily to take Rao Linger's life. The man she can't obtain, no one else should get!"
Tang Rao guessed, the tall woman must be Lu Yao because besides her, others leaving looked terrified, only she had anger and hatred amidst the terror.
"There are so many ears here; let things that shouldn't be said rot in my stomach, don't speak recklessly, lest you invite trouble, you hear."
These two women likely share a good relationship; otherwise, they wouldn't share such private insider news.
"I know, I'm not stupid. If Lu Yao finds we've heard this rumor, won't she retaliate?"
Thankfully, they considered this aspect, exchanged knowing smiles, didn't dare extend the topic.
"Why stop talking? Damn!"
Rao Linger is in danger!
Tang Rao took out his almost moldy horns, threw them on the ground, chanted a few words, and began divining.
Bad omen!
Even with poor divination skills, Tang Rao could see this little problem.
Looks like those two women's words weren't lies.
"This girl is actually kind-hearted; it'd be a pity to hang like that."
Tang Rao thought the girl might die, aside from feeling regretful, he worried if something happened to Rao Linger, how would Tang Rao leave the Central Island.
Actually, that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is if something happens to Rao Linger, her father and grandfather who think she's fond of Tang Rao, wouldn't let him off easily, might even drag him to share grave fate, who knows.
Tang Rao thought about it and dared not leave; he sought a way, if he could shift the fortune for Rao Linger, at least keeping her alive.
"Sister Zhou, my dad said the Central Island leader will stay to discuss big plans today; so, we can leave for a while, you and I don't travel the same path, let's not see each other off, okay?"
Rao Linger's mind was too chaotic; Lin Zhen's confession impacted her greatly; while walking alone on the road, she could find time to calm down.
Moreover, only she knew she didn't want to go back so soon.
What's the point of going back now; before returning was for rest and play, going back today means facing Tang Rao over farewell dinner, sending Tang Rao off.
