The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

The whole stone shattered into fragments right in front of all those people!

What they had summoned was the Divine Stone, the Divine Stone!

The grand Divine Stone shattered right before so many eyes; they hadn't even considered this problem when they brought the Divine Stone. Now that it's broken, they not only want to blame Tang Rao but also ponder how to shift the responsibility of the stone's shattering onto Tang Rao!

"Tang Rao, you actually destroyed the Divine Stone, you're quite audacious!"

No one died, yet the Divine Stone was damaged - how are they going to account for this?

"Me? With so many eyes watching, how could I, someone even weaker than you, have the strength to destroy the Divine Stone? You framing me like this implies you hold me in quite high regard!"

Tang Rao's words were clear to them; they understood these arguments. But with the stone broken, they needed a scapegoat, and Tang Rao was the best choice!

"All of us saw with our own eyes; it was you who destroyed the Divine Stone. Right now, the crucial thing is making you pay for breaking the stone, not identifying your true identity!"

They're not verifying Tang Rao's identity?

Clearly, these people are only looking out for themselves; their so-called verification isn't as strict as imagined.

"Then what should I do? Who are you going to get to punish me?"

Surely they need someone to decide, and with that person, Tang Rao might have a chance to seek justice.

"Humph, that person holds power and authority; it's not someone you can meet just because you wish to. But since you destroyed the Divine Stone, you still need to give our master an explanation!"

In the end, Tang Rao has no right to see that person, but because the stone is broken, will he be brought before them?

"Since you adamantly insist I broke the stone, I have nothing more to say. Take me to your master; let your master hold me accountable, alright?"

Tang Rao also wants to know why, when so many have touched the Divine Stone without breaking it, does it shatter into fragments when he touches it; what is the reason?

"Of course, you should go yourself, since the Divine Stone was broken by you!"

Tang Rao isn't very pleased. Clearly, he doesn't know the reason, yet these people are pinning it on him and want him punished; their minds must surely be quite narrow?

"Take him away!"

Even though the stone is shattered into fragments, they collected every piece and covered it up, ready to return it for accountability as evidence.

After being untied, Tang Rao fell straight to the ground, his body aching once more. Ever since entering Cimu Mountain, there's not been a spot on him that's been alright; if he doesn't resist, he'll be completely ruined.

Blindfolded, Tang Rao was led to a colder place. Passing something like a cave, the whole climate changed, and the cold wind made him shiver twice.

"Take off his blindfold!"

Feeling a beam of light in his dark eyes, Tang Rao instantly became clear-headed.

"You all brought me here with such fanfare; where's your master? Weren't you going to hold me accountable? Hurry up then."

So much time wasted on the way, and he suffered quite a bit; seeing the so-called master sooner would mean relief sooner.

"I'm going to report to the master; you all stay here and watch the kid carefully, don't let him sneaky away, got it?"

These people preferred to keep watch outside rather than go in; why else than not wanting the master to first vent his anger on the messenger?

Luckily, someone led the way, so they gladly avoided any trouble coming their way.

"What? The Divine Stone shattered, is it really true?"

Called master, the person's face was devoid of the expected rage. His neutral expression puzzled the messenger.

"Of course it's true, master, the fragments of the Divine Stone are still here. With these fragments as proof, look!"

With the fragments here, even if he doesn't want to believe, seeing them means he has no choice.

"He's here!"

Who knows what the man was thinking, but he uttered such a statement.

He's here?

"Master, he's here; what does that mean?"

The accuser is still kneeling, holding the tray, saddened by the sight of the shattered stone. Yet, the master showed no sorrow, repeatedly saying "he's here."

Could it be... has the master been too shocked, lost his mind?

"You may leave, call that person in."

Without punishment or blame, witnessing his most treasured Divine Stone destroyed without a hint of distress. Yet he wants to meet Tang Rao; isn't this a bit too fortunate for him?

"Yes!"

Despite numerous questions, the accuser chose not to ask, first executing the master's order lest he anger the master and create trouble for himself.

"What? The master not only didn't blame the kid but summoned him inside?"

Tang Rao went in, and everyone outside, upon arriving, covered their mouths in astonishment.

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe it, when I went inside, I told the master everything, yet our master doesn't believe it at all, saying things we don't understand. Have you ever seen the master act so oddly?"

Though the master isn't too bad, how many true good people live within Cimu Mountain? They reached their positions with decisive ruthlessness. Such a master's sudden change and mildness is peculiar; they can only wait, gather information, and understand the matter's background.

"Did you break the Divine Stone?"

Tang Rao, upon meeting the so-called master, finds the person familiar. But where has he seen him before?

Momentarily at a loss, Tang Rao can't quite recall.

"I didn't break it; I merely listened to them, touched the Divine Stone twice. Didn't expect it to be so fragile, shattering in front of so many. That's not my fault; it's your inferior equipment to blame, unfit for display. That can't be blamed on me!"

Tang Rao speaks truthfully; his own stone quality surpasses theirs. Despite his touch, throughout time, he's never seen a crack.

"Hahaha, you're quite an entertaining young man!"

The master didn't get angry; instead, he scrutinized Tang Rao's face.
