The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Seeing your expression, I knew I guessed right." Tang Rao grinned. This matter was actually not so hard to guess. Tu Hongxiu suddenly joining the Kao Shan Sect was indeed a bit strange.

That Tie Nutao could guess it wasn't particularly surprising either.

After all, Tie Nutao wasn't a fool.

From the fact that he had An Tianhu investigate the backgrounds of the people he brought, it was clear that Tie Nutao was intelligent and cautious.

Unfortunately, Tie Nutao didn't expect Tang Rao to play by his rules and directly take down An Tianhu.

"Can you sit up? I'm tired just watching you talk while lying down." Tang Rao casually summoned a chair and sat down.

An Tianhu struggled a bit but eventually sat up, though his breathing was somewhat labored.

Having regained some strength, An Tianhu used Immortal Power to stop the bleeding on his body, at least not looking as miserable as he did before.

He was bleeding all over earlier.

"You don't want to die, right?" Tang Rao asked.

"No... I don't..." An Tianhu had no temper at this moment. It's no joke; when someone is a knife and you're meat on the chopping block, being stubborn is no different from sticking your head onto Tang Rao's blade.

"Good, it's great that you don't want to die. Actually, I'm not someone who enjoys killing; I have no interest in killing you. As for why I caught you, well... let's just say the Emperor Sect is unreliable and has done too many things that anger heaven and people." Tang Rao said.

"Yes, yes, Sect Master Tang, you're right. I also think the people of the Emperor Sect are too much. You tell me, tell me what to do, and I'll do it for you. I just beg you not to kill me; I... I don't want to die." An Tianhu said, degrading himself beyond recognition.

Tang Rao sighed in his heart. An Tianhu had boasted so fiercely before and scorned the Kao Shan Sect. Now, with the tables turned, he's cowed in minutes.

"Alright, can you contact Tie Nutao?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes, yes, I have three communication talismans, which can contact Tie Nutao." An Tianhu immediately replied.

In fact, when attacked by those idiots, he also thought of using a talisman to contact Tie Nutao, but unfortunately, the attack was so sudden and fierce that he was completely caught off guard and didn't have a chance.

"Alright, then you can start contacting Tie Nutao. As for what to say, hmm, just tell him everything is normal and you're investigating the people around Tang Rao. There are some clues about a few people; tell Tie Nutao not to worry." Tang Rao instructed.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it immediately." An Tianhu nodded vigorously.

Then, An Tianhu took out a talisman.

"Tianhu, you have to be smart, and be aware of the times. You may not know, but I'm quite an emotional person. If you do something later that displeases me, I will get angry. And when I'm angry, things might get out of hand. At that point, you might not be as well off as you are now." Tang Rao said with a smile.

"I... I... I know, I know." An Tianhu nodded immediately.

Then, An Tianhu crushed the talisman in his hand.

The moment An Tianhu broke the talisman, Tang Rao slightly opened his portable palace, allowing the power of the talisman to leave it.

If Tang Rao hadn't opened up the permission, An Tianhu's message wouldn't have gotten out at all.

"Uncle, it's me, Tianhu." Soon, An Tianhu managed to contact Tie Nutao.

"Tianhu, you... you're alright?!" Tie Nutao's voice came through, and Tang Rao could hear it clearly.

"Huh? Of course, I'm fine, uncle. What's going on? Did something happen?" An Tianhu's voice was calm, and Tang Rao was very satisfied; this kid was cooperating well.

"As long as you're fine, that's good, very good." Tie Nutao's voice sounded a bit excited.

"Uncle, you're acting strange. Anyway, I've found some clues on my side. In a few days, I should be able to find out everything." An Tianhu said.

"Good, then take care of your business. Contact me if anything comes up, alright?" Tie Nutao said.

"Okay, uncle, I know." After speaking, An Tianhu cut off the contact, then looked at Tang Rao with a fawning expression.

Tang Rao smiled and reached out to pat An Tianhu on the shoulder.

"Hmm, Tianhu, you're doing well. I'm very pleased. Rest assured, I won't kill you. Stay here and recover for a while; I'll come back to see you later. Oh, and stop wasting talismans contacting your uncle. Here, without my permission, your message won't get out. Of course, if you want to try, go ahead. Even if it does get out, I'll know right away. By the time your uncle arrives, I might have already killed you with one palm. Do you understand?" Tang Rao said.

"I understand, I understand. Sect Master Tang, don't worry. I'll be obedient." An Tianhu was utterly submissive.

An Tianhu knew how pathetic he looked, but what else could he do? He's quite desperate now...

"Alright, I'm leaving." With that, Tang Rao left the portable palace.

...

"Yo? Xiao Yun is already on stage?" When Tang Rao came out, he saw Xiao Yun stepping onto the arena.

At this moment, the crowd was filled with exclamations.

There was no helping it; Xiao Yun was so young, just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. At that age, most people are just getting introduced to cultivation. Even if extraordinarily gifted, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm at that age would be terrifying.

Since Tang Rao hadn't organized any bets for Xiao Yun, many people were unaware of her realm.

As for some powerful individuals, they were all wide-eyed with surprise; that little girl was at the third level of Immortal Monarch.

Eleven or twelve years old, a third-level Immortal Monarch, is this world going crazy?

"I'm Xiao Yun of the Kao Shan Sect, bring it on!" After getting on stage, Xiao Yun called out lightly.

Opposite Xiao Yun was a young man who appeared to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a strength roughly at the Eighth Level of the Luo Xian Realm. Among all the contestants, he was considered of medium strength.

"Little girl, why don't you step down? I'm afraid I might hurt you." The young man shrugged and said.

Xiao Yun was only eleven or twelve, hurting a little girl wasn't great, after all.

"Stop babbling, if you don't make a move, I will. But let me tell you, if I strike, you might not have a chance." Xiao Yun grinned.

Many people laughed out loud. The Kao Shan Sect might have only a few top experts, and this little girl was probably here to get some experience.

"Alright, then you..."

"Bang!" Before the young man could finish speaking, Xiao Yun's figure flashed swiftly, appearing directly in front of him and slammed her palm onto his chest.

The young man didn't even manage a grunt as he was sent flying off the arena, defeated.

The scene fell silent.

"I told you, if I strike, you wouldn't have a chance." Xiao Yun clapped her hands, uncaring of the surprised stares around her, and gracefully walked off the arena.
