The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"What? You're just holding a random stone and claiming it's the Divine Stone, and then die suddenly? Who are you trying to fool?"

Tang Rao knew that no one would believe his words, so he found a few scapegoats to pay with their blood as a lesson, which was excellent.

"Let me touch it, when I expose your true self in public, I hope you don't feel too embarrassed."

Hahaha.

This villain appears with his own sound effects, and listening to these sound effects almost made Tang Rao urge them to put their hands on it sooner, so that these people could be released earlier.

"What I say doesn't count, you'll have to try yourself to find out the truth."

The more Tang Rao pretended to be unsure, the more these people wanted to see him humiliated. Among the two who entered, one swaggered over to Tang Rao, his steps making a thumping sound as if afraid people wouldn't notice the great feat he was about to accomplish.

"Soon I will expose your true self, just you wait and see!"

As he said this, his hand touched the Stone.

Normally, the Divine Stone emits a pale blue light when touched; when Tang Rao touches it, it's a rainbow beam, but when this person touched it, it wasn't pale blue or rainbow, but black—pitch-black. A beam of black light shot straight to the sky, and then the person touching the Divine Stone turned into ashes, vanishing in the wind before their eyes.

"What does black mean? The beam just now was black, I saw it all."

As the leader of these people, the official of this not-too-big and not-too-small Qimu Mountain, he had some authority and had seen many strange sights, but the black just now was shocking. He wondered why his Divine Stone did not exhibit such remarkable skills.

"Black is the protective color; anyone with malicious intentions towards the Divine Stone and its master, upon contact, is doomed. Those loyal and true-hearted, upon touching the Divine Stone, can have their powers multiplied. Neutral persons will find the Divine Stone unreactive."

Tang Rao's Divine Stone was different from the one that turned to dust. After he explained the functions of his Divine Stone, anyone would envy Tang Rao for possessing such a treasure.

"Stop with the sweet talk, who doesn't know you tricked just now to make everyone on Qimu Mountain anxious? Apparently, the whip earlier hit too lightly. Once I punish you heavily, let's see how long you continue with these tricks!"

Tang Rao was merely an outsider, having played tricks on Qimu Mountain for quite some time, surely the lord was very annoyed with him?

The lord would certainly look at Tang Rao differently after thoroughly teaching this dog servant a lesson, right?

"Hmm, so what if I'm playing tricks, the facts are right here. It was he who was malicious toward me, and did not believe the Divine Stone in my hand was real. What could I do? Since someone was intent on getting themselves killed, why should I desperately try to stop them when we barely have any connection?"

The gatekeeper and Tang Rao each stood their ground, turning the situation into a quarrel where both parties believe they're right. They could argue until the next morning and still have things to quarrel about.

"All that talk is pointless, you go try the Divine Stone and see if it's as miraculous as he claims!"

Under the lord's command, the mere gatekeeper, no matter how brave, would not dare to challenge the lord.

He talked about having fake ancestry and claimed he wasn't afraid at all, but after seeing his companion turn to ashes, Tang Rao was already frightened out of his wits, hardly having the courage to touch the Divine Stone.

"Lord... Yes!"

The gatekeeper hesitated, but eventually, trembling, placed his hand on the Divine Stone.

As expected, how could someone with ill intentions towards Tang Rao not be detected by the Divine Stone?

His fate was no better than the previous person's, turning to ashes, blown away by the wind.

"See? I said my Divine Stone was real, and you just didn't believe me. These two are the best evidence. Now do you believe it?"

In order to prove the Divine Stone's authenticity, the lord sacrificed two servants; as to whether he felt any pain, naturally he didn't.

He had plenty of servants at his disposal; dying for him was the servants' honor.

Why was the lord angry? He felt he was being manipulated by Tang Rao, who had been orchestrating one scheme after another ever since stepping inside, and even the lord himself was just a sharp knife in Tang Rao's hands.

This sharp knife was used at a critical moment as the executioner for Tang Rao.

"We can stop discussing the authenticity of the Divine Stone; I just want to ask you why you used me to have those two killed?"

Since he deliberately handed over the choice of people to Tang Rao, he must have anticipated that Tang Rao wouldn't randomly select someone to die.

As he imagined, the deaths of these two must have a significant connection with Tang Rao.

Tang Rao chuckled softly: "As expected, nothing can escape your notice. Yes, the Divine Stone shows its authenticity at a glance. Since you are certain of the Divine Stone's authenticity and knew I wouldn't casually send people to their deaths, you helped me finish this show in a perfectly natural progression. I haven't had the chance to thank you, and yet you're eager to investigate. What's your aim then?"

Tang Rao's eyes were straightforward; even experienced foxes wouldn't dare to easily meet his gaze.

"Alright, I'm just doing you a favor out of goodwill, knowing you've suffered during questioning, this is my gift to you upon first meeting, I've been forthright, and you?"

The lord asked Tang Rao not why he relentlessly pursued those two, but what was Tang Rao's purpose in coming here.

"I'm here at Qimu Mountain to find someone."

As for who he was looking for, without confirming if that person was here, Tang Rao was resolute in keeping his mouth shut, not revealing a single word.

"Looks like the person you are seeking is quite mysterious. You don't want to tell, and I won't force you. Now that my Divine Stone is shattered, I can't discern whether you're qualified to enter Qimu Mountain or not. Since you're here, let's just go with it. Given our fateful encounter, I'll consider you have passed. From now on, on Qimu Mountain, you must follow the rules and don't cause any trouble, understood?"

Did this mean Tang Rao passed and could stay?

Moreover, did the lord seemingly not intend to blame Tang Rao for accidentally shattering his Divine Stone?
