The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

The old man almost forgot about Tang Rao this time.

"Can I leave now?"

Coming to Central Island for academic exchange, originally planned for three days, it has already exceeded the timeframe. Tang Rao has remarkably risen from a slave at the bottom to his current status, unexpectedly earning the promise of free passage to and from Central Island, which alone is enough to make Tang Rao beam with joy.

"Alright, since you're being so straightforward, I'll take you away now."

When Tang Rao heard the old man say he would send him off now, he deliberately made a provocative face at Rao Linger, making her so angry that she wanted to throw anything she could grab at Tang Rao's face.

It's just free access to Central Island? She wanted to see how long Tang Rao could keep up his bravado.

"Hmph, let's see if you have the guts never to come to Central Island again!"

Perhaps Rao Linger didn't realize that while she was talking to Tang Rao, her eyes were brimming with tears.

"I don't have the guts; I just have to come. What are you going to do, bite me?"

He was about to leave, but still wanted to tease Rao Linger. Since she had offended Tang Rao, she should never expect to gain any advantage from him in this lifetime.

After saying farewell to the Family Head, and giving him some free advice regarding health maintenance, Tang Rao then followed the old man towards the direction of the Transmission Array.

The Transmission Array was still the familiar one from before; except for the different people standing beside it, there was really no change.

"Old man, is the Transmission Array the only way to travel between islands to Central Island?"

Before leaving, Tang Rao wanted the old man to satisfy his curiosity. He was curious whether he hadn't found the right method, or if Central Island's technological advancement made it an impenetrable existence.

"Naturally, Central Island holds a unique position in the entire Divine Realm. At levels you haven't been able to access yet, many reside on Central Island. To ensure their safety, they keep a tight watch on the Transmission Array. Although I am the Family Head of the Rao Family and hold a fairly high status on Central Island, in reality, I'm just a servant to those upper-level individuals. In their eyes, I am nothing."

The old man, seeing Tang Rao as a familiar acquaintance, shared these heartfelt words with him.

What does Tang Rao not being able to access the upper levels mean? This wasn't the first time the old man mentioned this, Tang Xiaobai had told Tang Rao as well, his biological parents are on Central Island, but because they are on a different level, Tang Rao hasn't even had a chance to meet them.

"No way, you've had such a pitiful experience? I thought people like you were considered high-level. You're saying you watch over the Transmission Array every day and live with prestige on Central Island?"

Although his words might not sound nice, the old man had to admit Tang Rao's depiction somewhat captured the reality.

"If they need someone to do odd tasks next time, you have to remember to recommend me, your little brother. I want to be just as glorious in public like you; it looks so impressive!"

It's the first time the old man met someone even friendlier than Tang Rao. This job was secured through immense effort, definitely not as simple as Tang Rao made it sound.

"Shining in public, suffering in private; doing well might bring some benefits, sheltered by those above. But doing poorly, if those above were to get upset one day, I might not be able to endure the consequences. In this world, opportunities and risks always coexist, it's not as rosy as you think."

These are lessons the old man distilled from experience, and sharing them with juniors like Tang Rao can help them avoid some futile paths.

"No worries, when faced with adversity, just remain optimistic. As long as one stays optimistic, no hurdle is insurmountable,"

Kid!

Not even fully grown spirited hair yet, already preaching life philosophies. Although the old man didn't want to use age as an advantage, when Tang Rao began lecturing him, he certainly didn't want to be brainwashed by Tang Rao.

"Whether I'm optimistic or not, that's my business. If you regret and don't want to leave, I can keep you here, and today we won't open the Teleportation Array."

The old man didn't tell Tang Rao that opening the Teleportation Array once costs a fortune; this time, he's opening it for Tang Rao for free. With Tang Rao's wealthy Golden Master style, he probably wouldn't feel too stressed seeing the vast amount of Purple Crystals required next time.

"No, no, no, old man, you're generous. I was just joking with you, take my words as nonsense. Please open the Array and let me through."

Having reached the Teleportation Array now, if Tang Rao failed to escape again, it would be a psychological shadow for his lifetime.

The old man took out a Compass from his Space Ring, using it to calculate time and position. Once the timing, geographical position, and human factor were aligned, the Teleportation Array could be opened anytime.

"Go ahead, soon a beam of golden light will descend, which is perfectly normal, don't be nervous."

After setting the Compass, the old man fumbled a bit more on the Array, adding some new programs and techniques, and the Transmission Array immediately activated.

He swore, if he were slightly luckier, besides being able to activate the Teleportation Array, he could clearly see how the old man opened the Array too. Next time he brings many people, he might even use the old man's technique to open the Array's door.

Not only did Rao Linger lose contact with Tang Rao, the old man rarely engaged with Tang Rao either.

By then, traveling to and from Central Island would no longer be a dream, and Tang Rao needn't worry about bringing people to Central Island and causing them too much trouble.

With a swoosh, from initially standing there, Tang Rao blinked, and reopening his eyes, he was already on the boundary of North Island.

"Sir, are you here for food or lodging?"

Tang Rao forgot to tell the old man the destination he wanted to go to, the old man was quite carefree and randomly chose a place to teleport Tang Rao to, not caring about his safety at all.

"I went to the wrong place, sorry."

Tang Rao stepped outside with one foot while apologizing to the shop assistant.

His home wasn't far from here, if he wanted a place to rest or eat, it should be done at home.

"How about a drink? We have beautiful women here, surely appealing to you?"

The shop assistant saw Tang Rao as a shining gold nugget, not securing this nugget would leave him dispirited all day.

"I don't indulge in those, stop tempting me to commit a crime."
