The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1360 - 1359: The Zhang Family Patriarch

The initial power is unstable and will require a long period of consolidation.Unlike others, when Tang Rao first heard of Black Demon, it was already at the peak of a mid-level god. As time passed, it's possible Black Demon has reached a late-level god.

"You can't beat Black Demon, I can't beat Leng Pengfei, I'm afraid things don't look good for my wives."

Tang Rao sighed repeatedly, so much that Wu Suowei's ears nearly formed calluses from hearing it.

"Though I can't beat them, Granny Hua and the others certainly can. They not only know where Leng Pengfei and Black Demon are, but their strength surpasses Black Demon's by twofold."

Could Granny Hua really be stronger than Black Demon?

Tang Rao vaguely remembered mentioning Black Demon in front of Granny Hua, and back then, she didn't take it seriously at all, treating Black Demon as just a passerby.

Tang Rao thought Granny Hua hadn't noticed what he said, but now he realized that she simply hadn't considered Black Demon worth her attention.

"Go find Granny Hua, and if that doesn't work, go to Zhang Wang. The Zhang Family where Zhang Wang belongs also has the strength to take on Black Demon."

Wu Suowei meticulously calculated Tang Rao's connections, and those close to him roughly amounted to this.

"I've troubled Granny Hua so much recently, asking her again might get me scolded as useless. I'd better not go."

Wu Suowei, having just been promoted, was in a good mood. Though he sympathized with Tang Rao's wives being taken, the thought of such a flamboyant man as Tang Rao getting defeated by Granny Hua made him feel pleased.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your wives, you'd better seek an introduction from Zhang Wang right now. Every second could be the line between life and death."

Wu Suowei's words motivated Tang Rao to find Zhang Wang. He used Instantaneous Movement to reach Zhang Wang's Kao Shan Shop, filled with urgency.

"Zhang Wang, I need your help!"

When he arrived at Kao Shan Shop, Tang Rao was still panting heavily.

"Boss, what's so serious? Just tell me directly."

"I need your family's help!"

Without beating around the bush, Tang Rao told Zhang Wang everything that happened in the Kao Shan Sect.

"Don't worry, Boss, I'll take you to see my grandfather right now."

Calculating, it has been at least two years since Zhang Wang last returned to the Zhang Family. If it weren't for Tang Rao needing the Zhang Family's help, Zhang Wang wouldn't know when he'd return.

"Now? Is it convenient for you? Am I going to cause you trouble?"

Previously too agitated, once he had a plan, Tang Rao realized that what he was doing might implicate Zhang Wang.

"What trouble? The boss's business is the Zhang Family's business. My grandfather dotes on me, helping you out is just a word."

Zhang Wang was very confident that the Zhang Family could lend a helping hand to Tang Rao.

"If it's difficult, I'll think of something else. You mustn't get yourself dragged down because of this."

Tang Rao insisted that if there's something, he'd turn to his brothers, but whether they could help or not was another matter. He was determined not to involve his brothers in his own troubles.

"It's fine, there's nothing difficult about it. Besides, we're doing a good deed, improving our reputation outside, which also indirectly helps our Zhang Family. My grandfather cares a lot about his face; not helping would be out of the question."

With Zhang Wang's assurance, Tang Rao couldn't be happier, how could he refuse now?

If Zhang Wang weren't leading the way, Tang Rao wouldn't find the Zhang Family's gate at all.

No, he wouldn't even find the exact location of the Zhang Family.

Once a family ascends from the mundane, their overall standards would rise too.

This kind of elevation wasn't something Tang Rao could encounter.

"Zhang Wang, are you sure you're not the foolish son of a landlord? So wealthy and powerful, yet you open a small shop for pocket money?"

If Tang Rao had a complete family like that, he'd spend Purple Crystals lavishly, buy whatever he liked, regardless of cost, speaking just one word would mobilize his entire family.

Unfortunately, Tang Rao wasn't so lucky; besides starting from scratch, he had to endure countless hardships, possibly more than eighty-one challenges.

"I just want to realize my own value, to see what I can achieve on my own besides the path my grandfather has paved for me."

Without the Zhang Family's backing, how did Zhang Wang fare?

He opened a shop in the best market location, selling whatever to make a living and savings for small purposes.

Such a lifestyle is achievable by anyone, but Zhang Wang did it with joy, even wanting to devote his life to the shop.

A descendant of the Zhang Family, especially a legitimate son, was rare to break away from the family, and even rarer to do his own thing like Zhang Wang.

If Tang Xiaobai ever told Tang Rao his lifelong dream was to sell deep-fried stinky tofu by the street, Tang Rao would knock his head off.

Zhang Wang's grandfather probably wanted to do the same but couldn't bring himself to.

"You wouldn't want to report to your grandfather about your work during this time, would you? I'd be worried his blood pressure would spike, and without him, who would help solve my problem?"

Zhang Wang loved his work so much, he might let it slip to his grandfather when excited.

"I'm not stupid; I'm here seeking my grandfather's support, not to chat with him."

Fortunately, Zhang Wang was clear about his purpose. Seeing his sense, Tang Rao's heart began to ease.

"This is where my grandfather usually exercises every morning. When he's in a good mood, he practices from morning till night. When he's not in seclusion, he's in this little garden, and no one in the family knows why he favors this spot."

Is the old man really fond of this little garden?

Tang Rao couldn't help but ponder.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

With Zhang Wang there, the entire Zhang Family wouldn't scrutinize Tang Rao, even entering the little garden was hassle-free.

In the little garden, an old man in a white coat and cloth shoes emerged from behind the mountain. The old man held a willow twig, whipping it thrice in the air, causing Zhang Wang to cover his backside and hop three times.

"Grandpa, it hurts."

Zhang Wang's eyes genuinely teared up.

It was the first time Tang Rao saw a grandfather strike so harshly.

Nonetheless, he courteously greeted the old man.

"Does the old man enjoy Tai Chi Boxing too?"

On Blue Star, it's called Tai Chi Boxing; but what it's called in the Divine Realm, Tang Rao really wasn't sure.

"Tai Chi Boxing? That's a nice name, but what does it mean?"

At such an old age, he's heard almost everything, but this Tai Chi was entirely unfamiliar to him.

"Grandpa, never mind that for now, I have something important to discuss with you."
