"This is what it's like in the Divine Realm, full of tricks. I want to go back to the countryside. Just look at these people."
Yan Wei was still worried about Tang Xiaobai, but with the current technology, he couldn't contact Tang Xiaobai at all, nor could he trace the route from which Tang Xiaobai was taken.
"If it's really the Heavenly Dao, with its methods, it certainly wouldn't spare Xiaobai!"
Tang Rao had been severely injured multiple times and almost died, but he had never felt scared. When Tang Xiaobai was taken by the Heavenly Dao, to be honest, he had never felt so terrified before.
"You're saying this as if you're saying nothing at all. I already know there won't be a good end if he falls into its hands, but we still need hope. What if it just happens?"
At this moment, talking about hope with Tang Rao was pointless. Tang Rao didn't want hope; he just wanted to know how to find Tang Xiaobai. Talking about other meaningless stuff would only make him more and more irritable.
"How about I try to track him again for you?"
Yan Wei, using big data analysis, had drawn several charts, but the more he drew, the more he ended up with nothing. Unless given some time, for him to think of a solution, improve the system, and re-analyze the data, but Yan Wei couldn't guarantee Tang Rao how long this project would take.
"Forget it, you try and see what you can do first. I'll go find my dad and see if he can come up with something. Tang Xiaobai is his grandson too; he surely wouldn't cruelly sit back and do nothing."
Tang Rao accepted Tang Lei as his father, and as a father, he should consider his son more. Asking him to find Tang Xiaobai might be much faster than Tang Rao finding Tang Xiaobai himself.
"Exactly, your dad has a grudge against the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao knows your dad very well. Your dad also surely has his spies in the Heavenly Dao's territory, so it should be faster to find out if there's an extra person on that side than on my side to inquire."
Yan Wei nearly forgot about this matter, always thinking that Tang Rao was still fighting alone, forgetting that he'd found himself an influential father in the Divine Realm long ago.
It's quite miraculous to say, Yan Wei never believed in ghosts or gods before, never believed in reincarnation or rebirth. Ever since Tang Rao brought him into the gates of the new century, those things he found impossible have appeared in his life one by one.
When Tang Rao went to find his influential father, his father was still repairing broken walls and ruins.
According to Tang Qingqing, he never thought of repairing the Tang Family until he found Tang Rao and until Tang Rao recognized him as his father.
Initially, he constantly told Tang Qingqing that the destroyed places were just shame walls and absolutely forbade repairing them. Now, he tells Tang Qingqing that the houses should indeed be repaired, otherwise when Tang Rao comes back, he wouldn't even know where to stay, and what if those bumpy places accidentally hurt Tang Xiaobai when his dear grandson returned?
Anyway, before Tang Rao appeared, he was one way, and after Tang Rao appeared, he became another way. Sometimes Tang Qingqing even wonders if Tang Lei was provoked by something, which is why he turned into such a double-faced person.
"Dad, do you know how to contact the Heavenly Dao?"
In broad daylight, Tang Rao came back without any avoidance, calling out to him louder than ever before.
"What happened?"
Tang Lei asked Tang Rao, knowing that if it weren't a big deal, Tang Rao would have thought things through, not acting rashly as he was now.
"Tang Xiaobai was taken by a Golden Phoenix. I heard from Wu Suowei that the Golden Phoenix might have come from the Heavenly Dao."
Tang Rao briefly explained the problem he was facing and what he wanted to know. When Tang Lei was asked by Tang Rao, two questions immediately popped into his mind. First, since when did the Heavenly Dao have a Golden Phoenix around, and second, who dares to cause trouble for Tang Xiaobai? Is he looking to die?
"I've been balancing with the Heavenly Dao for so many years and never heard about a Golden Phoenix being around it."
Tang Lei's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Tang Rao to his core.
He and everyone around him thought that this incident was done by the Heavenly Dao when Tang Lei spoke out about a truth that no one expected.
"What, there's none?"
Tang Rao almost spat out blood.
How could there not be? If there wasn't, then whose Golden Phoenix took Tang Xiaobai?
The first time it burned the munitions factory, the second time it took Tang Xiaobai, what exactly does this thing want?
"Unless I've grown old, or there's a problem with my people, otherwise my words still have a certain credibility."
Grown old? Not old at all. Problem with people on his side? Not likely. If it's something else, what other reasons could cause the information from Tang Lei's side to become out of sync?
"With your years of experience, I believe the people on your side wouldn't have any issues."
Tang Rao chose to trust the people on Tang Lei's side, had to believe that the Golden Phoenix was not the Heavenly Dao's, and had to accept the fact that Tang Xiaobai's whereabouts were completely unknown, as all information had been cut off.
"I'll help you find Xiaobai."
With no leads from the Heavenly Dao's side and none from Tang Rao's side, if Tang Lei dared to promise to help him find the person, it could only mean that Tang Lei certainly still had a trump card.
"How confident are you?"
Asking this question was naive of Tang Rao. He's the type of person who, even if Tang Lei said there was only a five percent chance, would let Tang Lei give it a shot. Asking one more question was just an attempt to feel at ease sooner.
"Eighty percent."
Five percent vs. eighty percent?
This was far higher than Tang Rao's expectations. Even Tang Rao wouldn't dare to promise like this. If this task were left to Tang Lei, it was likely a sure thing.
"Even a fifty percent chance would make me willing, let alone eighty percent. Alright, deal."
Entrusting such a big matter to Tang Lei, Tang Rao, after strolling around Central Island, encountered an old acquaintance.
The place was so vast and sparsely populated that it was difficult for him to pretend not to see.
"Long time no see."
He raised his right hand and waved it twice, just to say hello to Rao Linger.
Rao Linger just wanted to go out for a walk and never dreamed she'd run into Tang Rao here.
By right, Tang Rao shouldn't appear on East Island at all, much less in front of Rao Linger.
"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."
Rao Linger didn't give Tang Rao a direct look as she brushed past him, but before she left, she left a message for Tang Rao, "This time, I can pretend I didn't see you. Next time I meet you, I won't be as polite as I am today."
What was Rao Linger talking about, and why was there such strong resentment in her words?
Suddenly, Tang Rao remembered, back then Rao Linger was forcibly kissed by Tang Rao, and before she left, she told Tang Rao that she had suffered this loss, but if she ever met Tang Rao again one day, she certainly wouldn't let him off.
