The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Sun Yan remained silent; he did not understand why Tang Rao was angry. At this moment, the best choice was to keep quiet.

"Why do you want to take me as your master?" Tang Rao looked at Sun Yan and asked with an indifferent tone.

"I want to become a strong person," Sun Yan said.

"And then what?" Tang Rao continued.

Sun Yan froze for a moment. To become a strong person, and then? Naturally, it was to stand above others, commanding everyone's admiration.

"I want to protect Blue Star, protect my homeland," Sun Yan said with a flash in his eyes, speaking softly.

"Nonsense!" Tang Rao took a sudden lunge, grabbing Sun Yan's throat, his eyes dark and terrifying.

Seeing the look in Tang Rao's eyes, Sun Yan's heart pounded wildly.

"Do you think I, Tang Rao, am someone to be trifled with? Do you believe I will kill you right now?" Tang Rao narrowed his eyes, truly harboring some murderous intention.

If Sun Yan had enough talent, enough encounters, he might even comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Dao without needing to be taught.

By then, he could become a disaster.

Because his ambition would grow ever larger.

"I... I didn't..."

"Still arguing!" Tang Rao glared, his aura surging powerfully.

"I'm giving you a chance; why do you want to become strong!" Tang Rao stared into Sun Yan's eyes.

If he repeated his previous answer, then Tang Rao would destroy Sun Yan's Spirit Root, and thus prevent future calamities.

Sun Yan's gaze shifted, his body trembling slightly.

"I... I want to become strong, I want to be above others, I want everyone to submit to me!" Sun Yan roared.

Tang Rao clenched his teeth; it really was as he suspected.

This was Sun Yan's most genuine inner thought, a strong ambition.

Sometimes, ambition can be a booster that makes people strong; but more often than not, ambition can drive people to do anything to succeed.

Just like Mei Fanghua, that woman who was devoured by her ambition.

"I can take you as my apprentice," Tang Rao suddenly released Sun Yan and said coldly.

"Master is above!" Sun Yan immediately knelt down.

"Hold on," Tang Rao said coldly as he looked at Sun Yan, "I have a condition. Once you agree, it's not too late to take the oath of apprenticeship."

"Please speak," Sun Yan nodded.

"Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, never to kill the innocent, never to harm Blue Star and the Moon," Tang Rao said.

Sun Yan was taken aback for a moment, his brow slightly furrowed.

"What? You don't agree?" Tang Rao asked.

"No, I want to ask, what counts as an innocent person," Sun Yan raised his head and said.

"For example, if during a battle you accidentally kill someone unrelated to the affair, you would be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao," Tang Rao explained.

Of course, there was much more to it; never to kill the innocent, yet even he, Tang Rao, had once killed by mistake...

Sun Yan took a deep breath and after a long pause, he nodded and said, "I, Sun Yan, swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, never to kill the innocent, never to harm Blue Star and the Moon; if I violate this, may I be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao."

"Rise," Tang Rao nodded, with such a constraint in place, even if Sun Yan's ambition exploded in the future, he would not be able to go too far.

"Yes." Sun Yan stood up, his eyes filled with immense excitement.

"I know you are ambitious, and I also know you might not respect me. Even more so, it wouldn't be impossible for us to turn against each other once your power grows," Tang Rao said.

"Master, I..."

"Let me finish first."

"Your talent is very good, and perhaps soon you will become one of the strongest people under the starry sky. But I hope you will be someone who has integrity; ambition itself isn't fearful, what's dreadful is if you can't control it well," Tang Rao earnestly said.

"I understand, Master. I will remember that," Sun Yan nodded earnestly.

Tang Rao didn't say much. Many times, people's hearts change slowly with time.

He could feel that Sun Yan wasn't harboring too many dark thoughts now, but time is unpredictable.

"It all comes down to this, whether you can do it is up to you. Remember, if I find out you're harming others, I will personally take action. I can make you, and I can also destroy you." Tang Rao felt it was best to speak frankly.

He didn't want Sun Yan to become another Mei Fanghua.

"Yes," Sun Yan nodded.

Tang Rao didn't know if taking Sun Yan as a disciple was right or wrong, but he hoped it was the right decision.

...

The array set up by Yun Xi both excited and terrified Tang Rao; the complexity of the array had completely exceeded his imagination.

He was certain that even in his prime, he would not have been able to escape the confines of this array.

It took Tang Rao a full three days to set up the entire array, consuming upwards of a hundred million Spirit Stones.

It was fortunate that he earned money through the internet, otherwise it would have been unaffordable.

But with the completion of this Transfer Array, Blue Star's defense system was effectively in place.

From now on, no matter from where the cultivators tried to enter Blue Star, they would first be transferred to a specific spot on the Moon.

Unified management on the Moon would be possible.

...

"Come on, hurry up, stop dilly-dallying," Tang Rao complained on a remote planet within the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms.

Fang Ying followed behind, walking slowly and reluctantly.

"Tang Rao, why did you drag me into this? My strength is weak, I'm no use to you," Fang Ying said.

"Your brain is barely adequate, coming up with strategies for me is quite decent," Tang Rao muttered.

Fang Ying looked helpless.

"Zhou Shengdian, where the hell did you die off to!" Arriving at the Transmission Point, Tang Rao shouted loudly.

"Bro, my bro, I'm here!" A figure rushed over from the side, appearing right in front of Tang Rao and Fang Ying.

Seeing Fang Ying, Zhou Shengdian's eyes rolled around.

"Bro, who is this beauty? Wow, she's so pretty, can you introduce me?" Zhou Shengdian grinned, eyeing Fang Ying up and down.

"Fang Ying," Tang Rao simply stated.

"So, it's Miss Fang Ying, hello, hello, I'm Zhou Shengdian. I'm Tang Rao's little sidekick, you can call me Dian Dian," said Zhou Shengdian.

A vein throbbed on Fang Ying's forehead.

"I'll just call you Ying Ying," Zhou Shengdian went on.

"Get lost!" Fang Ying kicked out, sending Zhou Shengdian flying.

This idiot, looking so old, in your forties, and still Dian Dian, my foot.

Tang Rao looked at Zhou Shengdian with pity; I forgot to tell you Fang Ying has a bad temper.

Of course, Fang Ying didn't use much force in her kick, and Zhou Shengdian soon ran back, still with a joking smile on his face.

"Bro, where are we going this time? Is it dangerous?" Zhou Shengdian quickly asked, "If it's dangerous, I'd like to take a few days off."

Tang Rao rolled his eyes; I'm the one who bears the dangers, what are you afraid of.

At your Nascent Soul Stage, appearing in front of a powerful being, they wouldn't even bother killing you.

"Stop the nonsense, let's go," Tang Rao stepped into the Transmission Array first.

This time, he had to thoroughly provoke a war between Mei Fanghua and the Soul Capture Pavilion.

The best way was to kill a Judge Candidate Envoy and pin it on Mei Fanghua.
