The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1317 - 1316: One-Sided

The old man slapped him, and Liu Tao still didn't know why he got hit like that."I just want to invite Tang Rao over for a meal, how can there be any issue?"

The old man was most worried that Tang Rao would doubt his motives, so he hurried to explain himself to Tang Rao.

"I'd be happy to have a meal with you, sir."

Tang Rao squinted and smiled. Those who didn't know him couldn't tell what kind of crooked thoughts he was harboring.

"You seem much healthier than the last time, sir."

Tang Rao spoke casually, but Liu Tao didn't notice. The old man, however, pondered over it several times.

"You young man have quite a sweet tongue, making this old man feel really good."

What was that all about? Tang Rao wasn't kidding; everything he said was the truth.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been taking quite a few Elixir Pills recently. But too much of it, and your body can't take it. It's harmful rather than beneficial to you."

What, harmful rather than beneficial?

The old man never thought about it. His family didn't know about him taking Elixir Pills, yet Tang Rao could tell at a glance.

He even noticed that although the old man's body had improved, it affected his health in other ways.

"For example, which aspects are affected?"

The old man had high standards for his physical condition, not allowing any lapses.

"Have you recently felt occasional dizziness, insufficient blood supply, or slightly blocked meridians, sir?"

"You've hit the nail on the head."

He had to admit, every word struck a chord with the old man.

"That's it, your meridians are overfilled to the point of blockage. Blood won't reach your head, so dizziness isn't surprising. Over time, it will have an impact on your life."

Affecting his life?

The old man broke out in a cold sweat.

"Affecting my life?"

"Yes, and it works quickly. If you don't believe me, you could try it again for some time?"

Tang Rao, to prove his innocence, offered to let the old man give it another try. But unless his brain was kicked by a mule, who would still try something clearly harmful to their life?

"Dad, did you invite Tang Rao for dinner, or did you bring him here as a doctor?"

Liu Tao knew Tang Rao's personality and didn't want Tang Rao to get the wrong idea that the Liu Family intended to use him.

"Son, I'm at death's door. Tang Rao just happened to know if there's anything wrong with me, so I'm consulting him."

Sometimes the old man even wondered if Liu Tao was truly his biological son.

"It's alright. Since you invited me for dinner, sir, there's no harm in checking for you."

Tang Rao took the opportunity to check the old man's pulses to understand the extent of his meridian blockage.

Fortunately, his time on Elixir Pills wasn't too long, so the blockage wasn't too severe.

"Sir, stop taking the Elixir Pills. I have Detoxification Pills here. Take them for three days in a row, and you'll feel relieved."

Tang Rao took out three pills from a jade-white bottle and handed them to the old man.

"They will relieve it after taking them?"

The old man couldn't believe that just these three small pills could relieve his discomfort.

"Dad, with your temperament, Tang Rao is here to treat you, and you're still skeptical about this and that. Be careful he doesn't even give you those pills."

Liu Tao knew the quality of pills. The ones made by the people at the Pill Hall weren't as good as Tang Rao's. Tang Rao was a Pill God, and what do three pills mean, if he didn't understand?

"You little brat, I'm your father. If you keep saying such rebellious things, watch out or I'll wipe you out."

Father wiping out his son?

Tang Rao could tell the old man was just saying it. Having received the pills, he was feeling happy. How could he easily harm Liu Tao?

"Dear father, you are my dear father. How about we just have dinner together?"

At this time, Liu Yu came in from outside.

"Dad, entertaining a guest today? How come only the younger brother was invited, but not me, the elder brother?"

Did he really dislike him as an elder brother?

Liu Yu didn't really care whether he was disliked. The sarcastic remarks were merely to annoy the people present.

"Yu'er, I thought you weren't here."

The old man knew well there was a grudge between Tang Rao and Liu Yu. If he brought Liu Yu in, was it to deliberately displease Tang Rao?

"I'm here, Dad. Since I'm here, let's all have dinner together tonight."

Liu Yu looked at Tang Rao, with the corners of his mouth curling slightly. But this smile showed no warmth.

"Dad, you invited Tang Rao for dinner with an agenda, didn't you? Or is Tang Rao here again for our Treasure Vault's items?"

Liu Yu's words were as nasty as they could get, but fortunately, Tang Rao came just for the meal. Dogs by the table barking at him didn't bother him at all.

"Liu Yu, if you keep saying such nonsense, get outside immediately!"

Someone as lacking manners as him wasn't something you'd usually see in the Liu Family.

"I'm just telling the truth. Whatever was taken from our Treasure Vault last time hasn't been returned yet. He keeps coming and going; who knows when he'll finish taking everything from us."

Was Liu Yu treating Tang Rao as a thief?

"It doesn't matter if I'm a thief or not. My Kao Shan Sect is large and prosperous. We don't need your things as padding. In fact, the Liu Family Patriarch and youngest son are reasonable, but the eldest son is always stirring up trouble. If I remember correctly, wasn't your eldest man Zhou Yong dealt with by me last time?"

Being good to the good and bad to the bad. That's how Tang Rao was. If Liu Yu talked poorly to Tang Rao, Tang Rao would return a bit of intimidation his way.

Lest this kid forget who he even is.

"This is my Liu Family."

Liu Yu was somewhat angry. Even if Tang Rao was invited, he should at least understand the etiquette of respecting the host.

"Liu Yu, this is my Liu Family, not yours!"

For the first time, the Liu Family Patriarch got angry at Liu Yu. The son he had once placed high hopes on had now thoroughly disappointed him.

"Dad, I..."

Liu Yu was frightened.

His own father, why didn't he speak up for him, always siding with outsiders?

"This braised chicken is pretty good. Sir, if there's any left over, can I take it to go?"

Tang Rao's eyes were practically glued to the braised chicken.

"Don't just take it to go; you can have as much as you want. If you like it, I can even give you the chef."

So generous?

Tang Rao couldn't believe that he held such a high status in the Liu Family, they would casually offer him a chef.

"Forget it, I'll just enjoy a bit. Don't want others laughing at me, thinking I'm taking more things from the Liu Family."

The old man understood; Tang Rao was using his craving for chicken to mock Liu Yu.

"Eat what you want, take whatever you like, don't listen to that brat's nonsense."
