The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao felt a bit creeped out.

What kind of other relationship? Tang Rao had never had any improper relationships with anyone.

"Your reason doesn't hold, there's nothing between us, and there's impossible for your Divine Stone to relate to my Divine Stone."

Tang Rao immediately dismissed it; he didn't care whether this so-called relationship really existed or not.

It would be fine if Fu Lun gave up on the Divine Stone, but in fact, today he was stubbornly determined to see the Divine Stone, even if it meant being shameless to keep Tang Rao here; he insisted on seeing the Divine Stone before releasing Tang Rao.

"The relationship I'm talking about is not that kind of relationship. It's unfortunate there's no Prophet here to prove my identity. If there were a Prophet, they could confirm there's not a single lie in what I say."

Fu Lun mentioned the Prophet. Isn't Wu Suowei a Prophet? If Wu Suowei were here, it would be easy; as it stands, proving it was impossible without Wu Suowei.

"There's indeed a Prophet, but he's not here. I can't verify whether your identity entails deception."

Fu Lun also wished to validate an identity—could Tang Rao trust the people around him?

"By the way, do you use Illusion City? If you have Illusion City, things become much easier."

Does Fu Lun also use Illusion City?

The users of Illusion City were Tang Rao's clients, and he treated his customers like the warm sun; Tang Rao put aside his previous indifference and smiled warmly at Fu Lun: "Of course, I use it. I just remembered the Prophet I know also uses it; I'll ask him first."

Tang Rao simply attempted to ask Wu Suowei whether he could accurately foresee someone through Illusion City.

Tang Rao sent a message to Wu Suowei, and fortunately, Wu Suowei was available. He didn't have a definite answer, only telling Tang Rao to try and see the outcome once it was done.

Wu Suowei made a valid point, and Tang Rao immediately directed his gaze at Fu Lun, transmitting Fu Lun's appearance through his eyes.

The power of Illusion City was immense; shortly after sending it, Wu Suowei's prophetic answer arrived.

"So, like me, he's someone who's been chosen all along."

Wu Suowei's words instantly dispelled Tang Rao's worries.

A chosen one—who else could it be apart from those heaven-sent to be around Tang Rao?

"So, does it mean Fu Lun is trustworthy?"

Tang Rao confirmed with Wu Suowei once more.

Logically, any statement by Wu Suowei was something Tang Rao could believe in one hundred percent. His repeated confirmation was subconsciously seeking assurance for himself.

"Of course, he's trustworthy; he greatly benefits you. When can you return to the Kao Shan Sect and bring him back with you? I still have a lot I want to ask him."

Wu Suowei's interest in Fu Lun was piqued; being another chosen one suggested he possessed a lot of inside knowledge. Both Wu Suowei and Fu Lun knew bits of information, exchanging them would compile significant data.

"Not necessarily. If he wants to come, fine; if not, that's fine too. As long as I know he means no harm."

That was Tang Rao's objective, wasn't it?

"Certainly. My purpose here is to find you and follow you. I've waited so many years at Mercy Hill just for your existence. If you came and abandoned me, leaving alone, when will I meet you again?"

Fu Lun had never waited for anyone he loved for so long; only for Tang Rao would he invest such effort.

"I need to consider first—there are too many people on this trip, and my budget is insufficient; I can't afford you. Next time, I'll take you."

It had been a while since Tang Rao used money or budget excuses as a pretext, but they were indeed effective for deception.

Either he successfully rejected someone or extracted some benefit from them.

"I have the budget! Waiting for so long wasn't inexpensive. Traveling with you might even save me some money."

See? As long as effort is made, what trap can Tang Rao not set?

"Looks like you have plenty of money—how about covering all our expenses?"

This seemed a bit excessive—even Tang Lei and Tang Qingqing standing by felt Tang Rao's words were a bit much. Faced with similar conditions, they would've fought back long ago, but Fu Lun, owing to his mission, had to compromise with Tang Rao and accept an unequal treaty.

"If that allows me to travel with you, then it's acceptable."

Fu Lun compromised, smiling all the while, feeling his concession gained him greater benefit.

"Brother, Dad and I can take care of ourselves. If you really feel okay with it, go ahead, but we won't partake."

Tang Qingqing finally couldn't bear it and refused this offer.

"Benefactor, I have provisions; no need to trouble you and this elder."

Even Tang Shimei couldn't stand it, politely declined Tang Rao's offer.

"None of you want it? Since none of you want it, what's the point in me taking advantage of it?"

Tang Rao fought hard for the benefit, but none were appreciative—what was there left to seize?

"Here's the Divine Stone. Take a closer look—is it related to yours? If it's really as you say, come with me. If you were mistaken, never mind, pretend I said nothing."

Tang Rao took out the Divine Stone, holding it himself, as placing it into other's hands could lead to unpredictable consequences.

After years of waiting, Fu Lun only needed a glance to know if this stone was the one he awaited.

"Yes, it's it! I knew my Divine Stone wouldn't break easily unless meeting a vastly superior opponent. A small Divine Stone facing a large one—my Divine Stone losing or being destroyed wouldn't be a surprise."

The team welcomed a new member, returning to the Tang Family. Who could go and who could not was initially Tang Lei's decision, but along the way, Tang Rao recruited people without consulting Tang Lei; indeed, anyone deemed suitable was directly enlisted as comrades.

"Dad, you see, it's not my brother acting recklessly—it's heaven orchestrated. Brother can't refuse. Let's welcome them home, even if their skills are lacking, they are good-hearted without ill intentions."

Tang Qingqing knew Tang Lei was in a bad mood, so to support her brother, she stood by Tang Lei, saying a few soothing words.
