The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Bai Yushu certainly had her eyes set on Yun Xi, and she wasn't concerned about the status of Yun Xi's family.

Money wasn't an issue, as they were not as wealthy as her own family anyway.

All that mattered was that Tang Rao liked her.

Moreover, Yun Xi's mastery in arrays was exceedingly terrifying. By the standards of the Seventy-two Domains in the Nine Realms, Tang Rao was no longer considered a match for Yun Xi, especially since Tang Rao was only in the late stages of Mahayana.

For a Array Master of Yun Xi's calibre, finding a peak Tribulation-passing Cultivator in the Seventy-two Domains would be an easy feat.

Even a peak Tribulation-passing Cultivator would worry if they were worthy of Yun Xi.

"Yun Xi, really though, when do you plan to be my girlfriend?" As they strolled leisurely along the road, the night was blurry with shadowy trees, and the faint yellow streetlights highlighted the increasingly quiet bustling city.

"Why?" Yun Xi turned to look at Tang Rao.

"Just asking. You know, when I see these hotels and such, I get jealous," Tang Rao pointed to some hotel signs nearby.

"Freak." Yun Xi muttered a curse at Tang Rao, her face feeling somewhat warm.

"It's a natural feeling. Look at my vigorous vitality, look at you, fierce like a wolf," Tang Rao rattled on.

"Pretty good with the idioms, aren't you?" Yun Xi snapped, pinching Tang Rao's waist, "Vigorous vitality? Fierce like a wolf?"

Yun Xi pinched and twisted a bit each time she said a word, and Tang Rao felt like his flesh was about to be pinched off.

Nevertheless, for Tang Rao, pain wasn't really an issue, given his Nine Deaths Undying Body.

"Wait until I graduate from university," Yun Xi suddenly said after a while.

"That makes no difference, right? It's miserable not to date in college, you can't feel the wonder of it. Come on, embark on a beautiful journey of love with me!" Tang Rao shouted loudly.

"Enough with your nonsense, we're almost there," Yun Xi pointed at the girls' academic building.

The two had walked all the way from Ziyuan Villa, and Yun Xi's Spiritual Energy was pretty strong, so she didn't feel tired at all.

"Let's go to the entrance, since we're already here," Tang Rao shrugged.

"Whatever you want," Yun Xi said indifferently, but her face was somewhat sweet.

As they passed by the school supermarket, Tang Rao rolled his eyes.

Because there were many people at the entrance of the supermarket, and in the middle of the crowd, someone was kneeling.

Yes, it was Sun Yan.

He was still kneeling, hands hanging down and head bowed, looking very determined.

Tang Rao was somewhat surprised, since Sun Yan was at the Qi Gathering stage and physically wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person; kneeling for half a day was quite tough. And since this was a school, kneeling in such a way definitely attracted a lot of attention and whispers, requiring strong mental endurance.

"Tang Rao, aren't you really going to take him in?" Yun Xi was somewhat soft-hearted.

"Back in the day, someone knelt outside my door for half a year and I still didn't accept him," Tang Rao snorted. "When I was the ruler of the Central Emperor Realm, everyday there were queues of people kneeling to become my disciple."

Yun Xi: "…"

"Let's go, if he loves kneeling, let him kneel," Tang Rao pulled Yun Xi, heading directly towards the girls' dormitory.

Watching Yun Xi go upstairs, Tang Rao finally left, leisurely retracing his steps back towards the school supermarket.

"How long do you plan to kneel?" Tang Rao looked at Sun Yan for a while, then suddenly asked.

Sun Yan immediately raised his head, searched a bit, then his gaze fixed on Tang Rao.

The surrounding students also turned their eyes towards Tang Rao.

"If you don't agree, I won't get up." Sun Yan said arrogantly.

"I mean, could you show a bit more sincerity in becoming an apprentice? Could you be a bit more creative? This kneeling method, do you really think it's good? As a Cultivator, you should defy the heavens. By kneeling to me, you've already lost your true nature." Tang Rao waved his hand and said.

Back then, those who knelt to apprentice under him, he didn't accept a single one.

"That's the only way I could think of," Sun Yan said through gritted teeth.

"People who don't like to think can never become powerful Cultivators. So, forget about it, there's no need for this." Tang Rao shook his head, the situation on Blue Star is different from the Seventy-two Domains.

Here, even non-Cultivators can achieve great success and obtain a high social status.

"No!" Sun Yan refused, "I want to become a Cultivator, a powerful one like you."

"Goodbye." Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders; he had heard such words too often and they meant little.

"Then what exactly will it take for you to accept me?" Sun Yan yelled.

Tang Rao stopped, slowly turned around: "To be my disciple, Tang Rao, you need to be exceptional or extraordinary. Clearly, your aptitude isn't good enough, your determination isn't strong enough. Also, how to become my disciple is your business, it has nothing to do with me. If you can impress me, I will naturally accept you; if you can't, even if you kneel until death, it won't concern me at all."

Tang Rao then left without any pause.

Only when Tang Rao's figure had disappeared did Sun Yan come back to his senses.

He bit his teeth, then got up from the ground.

"I will definitely become your disciple!" Sun Yan clenched his fists, his resolve unwavering.

…

For Tang Rao, Sun Yan's plea was merely a minor episode.

I know nothing about Sun Yan, not his character or morals. Just accept you like that, do you think I'm foolish?

Teach you skills, and then you stab me in the back, who the hell would I go crying to?

Tang Rao enjoyed a few peaceful days afterward, undisturbed, with no worries, just eating, drinking, and sleeping.

The outside weather was perfect, sunny with a gentle breeze, Tang Rao, enjoying the sun while drinking Sprite, lay in the backyard swinging his feet, thoroughly relaxed.

Of course, relaxation is always temporary. Just then his phone vibrated, it was Han Wanli calling.

Tang Rao saw the caller ID and knew: it's definitely not something good.

"Hello, old man Han, what's up? If there's nothing, I'm gonna hang up," Tang Rao spoke quickly.

"Tang Rao, wait a moment," Han Wanli immediately shouted, "Don't hang up, I've got something important to tell you."

"I'm on a break recently, not interested in handling matters."

"Be at the headquarters of Special Ninth Department by two in the afternoon, you must come!" Han Wanli yelled.

"I'm hanging up!" Tang Rao outright pressed the disconnect, visibly annoyed.

Really, Special Ninth Department, just handle it yourselves, why call me, I don't want to deal with anything.

People are like this, once they start to relax, they become increasingly lazy.

Of course, in the end, Tang Rao still went, appeared at the headquarters of Special Ninth Department at two in the afternoon.

The Special Ninth Department had long since upgraded from a small base to having huge funds and resources, basically unlimited funding.

After all, it has become an international issue, every country has to contribute money.

"Tang Rao, over here." Tang Rao had just arrived at the plaza when Han Wanli, appearing from nowhere, waved at him.
