The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao's personality quickly refreshed everyone's original impression of him.

They had never thought the famous Tang Rao would be so fun and easy to get along with.

Hanging out with him, you don't feel any pressure at all, just like chatting with a friend about everything under the sun.

You don't need to be overly cautious when you speak, in fact, you can even look down on him, show disdain, or roll your eyes at him—Tang Rao won't get angry over such things.

At most, he'll just roll his eyes back at you.

"Boss, are you planning to provoke a war between the Central Emperor Realm and the Soul Capture Pavilion this time, and then take the opportunity to drive out the Soul Capture Pavilion and regain control over the Central Emperor Realm?" Tong Chuan asked.

The others also looked towards Tang Rao.

"No, what makes you think I want to take control of the Central Emperor Realm again?" Tang Rao asked.

The group was taken aback. Didn't Tang Rao want to be the Master of the Central Emperor Realm anymore?

"I certainly don't want to be that Master of the Central Emperor Realm, it's exhausting to death, boring, and every day I have to think about how to develop it and how to guard against others scheming behind my back. It's just unbearable," Tang Rao shook his head as he spoke.

Hu Dadao and the others were flabbergasted.

"I still prefer to be an ordinary person who is unfettered and at ease, wandering around, and pretending to be cool whenever I feel like it. There's nothing more appealing than living this kind of life," Tang Rao continued.

"Then why do you want to attack the Soul Capture Pavilion?" Hu Dadao asked.

"Although I don't want to be the Master of the Central Emperor Realm anymore, that doesn't mean I won't take revenge. Whether it's Mei Fanghua or the trash from the Soul Capture Pavilion, they tricked me once before. If I don't trick them back so much they call me daddy, then I'm not Tang Rao!" Tang Rao said vehemently.

So that's what Tang Rao was thinking.

Everyone suddenly understood. They had been thinking about how glorious it would be when Tang Rao returned as the Master of the Central Emperor Realm.

Turns out he had no such plans at all.

"Stop thinking about the affairs of the Central Emperor Realm. Once Mei Fanghua is dead, and the Soul Capture Pavilion is crippled, someone will naturally become the new king of the Central Emperor Realm. What I can guarantee is that the new Master will develop the Central Emperor Realm even better than I did," Tang Rao said.

These guys were born and raised in the Central Emperor Realm, they had feelings for it to some extent.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so stirred up by his agitation and rushed over to clash with the people from the Soul Capture Pavilion.

Hearing what Tang Rao said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured.

In their eyes, Tang Rao had already made plans for the big picture. Since he was in control behind the scenes, the Central Emperor Realm was sure to get better and better.

...

"What, our base has been destroyed? What are the casualties?" Cui Baiyi frowned, his face serious as he looked at the black-robed man kneeling on one knee.

"Only two guards escaped, the rest... none survived," the black-robed man said.

Cui Baiyi's face changed drastically—there were thousands of talented individuals in this training base on Shouwang Star.

All dead, what a joke!

Among these talents, there were a few that he had high hopes for.

With great potential, given enough time, they might even reach the position of a Judge.

"Have you found out who did it?" Cui Baiyi asked.

"We found out, it's just..."

"Spit it out!"

"Twelve people in total, all cultivators from the Central Emperor Realm. They said they couldn't stand Mei Fanghua and couldn't stand our Soul Capture Pavilion's disgraceful behavior in the Central Emperor Realm, so they got mad and killed their way over," the black-robed man said.

Cui Baiyi narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping 'dong dong dong' on the tabletop.

"Have the names of those twelve people been investigated?" Cui Baiyi continued to ask.

"Yes."

"Is there one among them called Tang Laosan?" Cui Baiyi looked towards the man in black robes.

The man in black robes paused slightly, then nodded: "Yes, the leader is indeed a person called Tang Laosan. I have looked into it; there is absolutely no useful information to be found about this Tang Laosan."

"No need to continue the investigation." Cui Baiyi shook his head, then took a deep breath.

"Tang Rao, oh Tang Rao, it seems you are indeed even more eager than me. Very well, since that is the case, I shall grant your wish," Cui Baiyi muttered.

Upon hearing Cui Baiyi's words, the man in black robes trembled violently. Tang Rao? Could it mean that Tang Laosan is Tang Rao?

"Issue the warfare commands. Effective immediately, all forces of the Soul Capture Pavilion, engage in battle with the Central Emperor Realm. Kill on sight!" Cui Baiyi lightly patted the table as he spoke.

The man in black robes was visibly stunned.

"Go now!"

"But, about the other three Judges..."

"No need to concern yourself with those three. If they dare to utter a word of dissent, then replace the Judge with another. After all, the subordinates have long been coveting for their positions," Cui Baiyi said coldly.

What about people like Jiang Guan and Qin Sheng? Would their opposition really matter?

It's only necessary to be wary of Judge Xue Xing.

"Yes, understood." The man in black robes didn't say anything more, accepted the Judge Order tossed by Cui Baiyi, and bowed before leaving.

After the man in black robes left, Cui Baiyi was silent for a long while until he finally called out softly: "Dong Xia, come out."

In the next moment, Dong Xia appeared before Cui Baiyi, standing quietly.

"Dong Xia, how is your interaction with Tang Rao progressing?" Cui Baiyi asked.

"It's going well, he trusts me a lot," Dong Xia said.

"That's good to hear," Cui Baiyi nodded, "Maybe it's time for you to ascend further. Jiang Guan is bound to cause trouble sooner or later; I am preparing for you to replace him. With Jiu Zhikong dead, Jiang Guan has no one to take over his position as Judge. Speaking of Jiu Zhikong, his death was peculiar, did Tang Rao kill him?"

"Yes, I asked about it, it was indeed Tang Rao who orchestrated his killing," Dong Xia said.

Cui Baiyi didn't see the glint of light that appeared in Dong Xia's eyes.

"This Tang Rao is truly a headache," Cui Baiyi shook his head.

"We can kill him directly," Dong Xia said.

"There's no rush..." Cui Baiyi waved his hand, "Some people are no fun when dead; they are of much better use alive. After all, living people are far more interesting than the dead," Cui Baiyi said with a smile on his face, looking very much in control.

A trace of disdain flashed through Dong Xia's eyes, still thinking living people are more interesting than the dead, I wonder how you're going to end up being played to death by Tang Rao.

Truly thinking you have everything under your control? How laughable.

It's fine to trap others, but to trap Tang Rao, you're not clever enough for that.

Anyone with a bit of smarts in this world thinks they are the most impressive, capable of tricking heaven, earth, and everything.

"Continue to keep in contact with Tang Rao, if there is any news on his end, notify me as soon as possible so I can adjust the plans," Cui Baiyi said.

"Yes, understood." Dong Xia nodded, then swiftly left.

Cui Baiyi watched the direction in which Dong Xia left, his eyes narrowing slightly, contemplating something.

However, just a few minutes later, Cui Baiyi suddenly burst into laughter, a very sinister laugh that was chilling to witness.

"You perhaps look down on me quite a bit..." Cui Baiyi suddenly muttered, an inexplicable and strange remark.
