"I know this guy is here to annoy me, he just wants to piss me off completely, it seems he won't stop until he does."
The people have been recruited, and besides, these people are beneficial to Tang Rao and harmless, Tang Lei refused, not for Tang Rao's sake, it's better to do him a small favor, so Tang Rao can feel the fatherly love from Tang Lei, and just don't hold such a grudge against Tang Lei in the future.
"Dad, you see how likable little brother is, shouldn't you be happy? What's the point of getting so angry?"
Tang Qingqing was still trying to persuade Tang Lei, and after talking to Tang Lei for so long, Tang Lei finally calmed down.
"It's because he met a good sister. If Tang Rao could be half as sensible as you, I, as a father, wouldn't be so pissed off to blow my beard and glare, don't you think so?"
Tang Lei calmed down and then brought the group back to the Tang Family home.
The peaceful and harmonious Tang Family in Tang Rao's imagination, where gold and silver were everywhere, turned out to be contrary to his expectations of luxury. The place he envisioned a million times was even more dilapidated than the Kao Shan Sect.
No, it's not just more dilapidated than the Kao Shan Sect, it can't even be compared to the Kao Shan Sect.
"Sis, are we home?"
Tang Rao asked uncertainly and shivered as he asked.
No wonder he did, anyone seeing a place so barren that even birds wouldn't want to poop and fertilize would have to sigh twice.
"If you're willing to believe it, this is our home."
Tang Qingqing liked Tang Rao's expression, and even she, usually seen as a goddess by others, couldn't help but smile.
"Is this our home? Is our home this poor?"
His demeanor destined him to be a straightforward person.
And as a straightforward person, the primary condition is to do straightforward things.
"Our home wasn't like this before."
Tang Qingqing answered with a hint of embarrassment.
"The most affluent family on Central Island was us. After the incident with the Tang Family, the most down-and-out family was us too. Actually, we can't be blamed; it's all due to the restraints by the Heavenly Dao on us. If it weren't for him, our Tang Family wouldn't be in such a dire state."
But even a fallen great family shouldn't be in such a state of destitution. Is it because of no money? Or no people?
"Don't overthink it, it's the Heavenly Dao restricting our freedom to rebuild our home. Every time we try to rebuild, he destroys it. Over time, our place turned into what it is now."
So, it made sense. Tang Rao thought, the Tang Family couldn't be in such decline over minor issues.
"The Heavenly Dao not allowing us to build houses, this thought is unacceptable to me, why did my dad compromise so easily?"
Isn't Tang Lei very formidable? Why does he follow whatever the Heavenly Dao says?
"Because our mom is in the hands of the Heavenly Dao; she's dad's weakness. As long as the Heavenly Dao holds this leverage, dad has to do whatever he says."
Tang Qingqing's voice was so gentle, it made one's heart feel like it was melting. Only those who know her understand this was her restrained voice, and Tang Rao, being perceptive, had long sensed her inner hatred towards the Heavenly Dao.
"Why get angry? I actually admire our cheap father's actions; being good to his wife, that's something like me!"
Tang Rao's smile was so insufferable, and indeed it was. He got beaten up, and it wasn't light.
"What did you just say?"
Huh?
Tang Rao thought only the two of them were listening to their conversation. How could someone as impressive as Tang Lei be eavesdropping?
But then, reality wasn't as hoped. Sometimes, what's seen as a big deal can lead to actions that infuriate people.
Just like now, Tang Rao got a resounding head knock from Tang Lei, still dazed from being beaten senseless.
"You should be the one resembling your old man!"
Tang Lei was somewhat fixated on this point; losing the hierarchy—does Tang Rao just not respect Tang Lei?
"Right, right, whatever you say is right! I resemble you; I look and behave just like you. No wonder I can't find a partner, now I finally know why!"
Tang Rao, being smart, knew saying something like that would definitely lead to getting hit, so he immediately hid behind Tang Qingqing after speaking, hoping with her around, Tang Lei would hesitate due to love for his daughter.
"Brat, say it again, say it again, I dare you!"
Tang Lei feigned an attack towards Tang Rao, and this time Tang Qingqing's presence had little effect.
"Sis, dad's hitting me, aren't you going to help stop him, please stop dad!"
Seeing her little brother getting hit, could Tang Qingqing really remain indifferent?
He was her own brother, blood-related at that.
But this time, Tang Qingqing didn't think about blood relations and instead said calmly to Tang Rao, "Brother, when dad's angry, even your sister can't help you."
This one sentence completely shattered Tang Rao's illusions.
Having this sister or not didn't seem to make a difference in his treatment.
With that thought, Tang Rao suddenly felt utterly dejected.
"Dad, I was just joking with you earlier, please don't take my words seriously."
Now knowing to apologize, telling Tang Rao to let it go, then what was he doing earlier?
While Tang Lei let it go, he also gave Tang Rao another beat down. Having already suffered losses, he finally understood what respect and hierarchy were.
"Let's go back inside first. People outside talk too much, Qingqing, you take your brother to his old room first. Tonight, I will use the Covering Sky method to forcibly restore your brother's memory."
If not for Fang Fang, Tang Lei wouldn't be helping Tang Rao recover his memory so soon, letting Tang Rao return to his past grievances.
Currently, his strength doesn't match his inner hatred. Tang Lei is really afraid if something goes wrong, Tang Rao's life might be ruined again.
"Dad, are you really sure about this?"
Tang Qingqing is the most informed about the prior incidents and can gauge the consequences. She needs to persuade Tang Lei to think clearly, as once this starts, it becomes unstoppable. If it's done, it's truly over.
"What's the difference whether it's well considered or not? If he can't control himself, that's his fate; if he fails this time, then we start from scratch."
The words "start from scratch" were said with gritted teeth. The previous restart took years to return to the Divine Realm, and this time, whether they can return to the Divine Realm and reunite with people like Tang Lei, all remain a question mark.
"Shouldn't I have the right to decide my life and death?"
What Tang Rao was unclear about was what Tang Lei and Tang Qingqing were discussing; he only knew this matter had a huge connection to him.
