The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1493 - 1492: Uninvited Guests

After Wu Suowei finished speaking, he shut his mouth. If he spoke a few more words and Tang Rao caught him on it, how could Wu Suowei find someone to borrow a boat? He didn't have the same connections as Tang Rao.It's true that he's on good terms with Wang Lin, but the key point is that Tang Rao is Wang Lin's son-in-law. When it comes to old friends, there are many things they might hesitate to ask for, but a son-in-law can solve it with just one sentence.

"Fine, fine, can't I just go?"

Tang Rao was anxious to go back and couldn't just wait here indefinitely for news about whether there was a downwind boat or not.

The Divine Realm isn't Blue Star, there's no Didi Chuxing, let alone Didi Boating.

Wang Han arrived at the Tang Mansion as scheduled, but she missed Tang Rao on the way. Tang Rao returned to the Wang Mansion to find Wang Lin's old tears flowing, crying while facing the entrance.

"Father-in-law, is there something troublesome at home, what are you crying about?"

Tang Rao had considered who might cry, but never expected Wang Lin to be crying.

"I'm fine. Haven't you all left? Why are you still on West Island?"

Wang Lin wiped away his tears, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Do you really want us to leave West Island that badly? If I leave earlier, will you feel more at ease?"

Of course not!

Wang Lin knew Tang Rao was joking, but he could only shake his head in frustration.

"It's good if you leave; when you're gone, I won't have to miss you that much. You've come and gone, and I've kept hope that you'd stay. Don't you know 'no hope, no disappointment'?"

Oh, able to speak such philosophical words?

Tang Rao finally understood that Wang Lin wasn't in trouble. He just didn't want to let go of Tang Rao taking Wang Han away from West Island.

"Father-in-law, I think we may not actually be able to leave West Island."

Cough, cough.

Tang Rao had been thinking of how to ask for a boat, and with Wang Lin's preface, the request became much easier.

"What? You've decided not to leave?"

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, but just for a moment. He quickly realized Tang Rao's intentions; he wouldn't come all the way just to say they couldn't go back—it wouldn't be that simple!

Sure enough, while Wang Lin was waiting for more, Tang Rao 'honored' him with a request: "Father-in-law, I am planning to borrow a boat to return to North Island with Han Han. Do you think you could lend us your boat? We'll return it after we're done. If you don't trust us, you can send a boatman, and I'll cover all expenses. What do you think?"

Knew there would be no good news, as soon as he closed his mouth, Tang Rao made a request.

"Father-in-law, I know this request is hard to accept, but I must borrow the boat. What do you think we should do?"

Tang Rao was the first to make the request so rightful that even Wang Lin couldn't help but admire the courage.

"Listening to you, it sounds like I have no choice but to agree?"

Oh well, these things were prepared for Tang Rao and his group anyway, so eventually, they'd have to be given. Giving it now saves worrying about them constantly thinking about it.

"Take it, the boat is there unused anyway. You go ahead and use it, return it when you don't need it anymore."

Wang Lin agreed a bit too readily, without any obstruction, and Tang Rao felt like he'd met a fake father-in-law.

"Father-in-law, are you serious?"

Reassured only after repeatedly confirming answers from Wang Lin, Tang Rao headed boldly to find a boatman to set sail.

"Alas, daughters are hard to keep, thought when she woke up, I could enjoy some family joy. Now it seems, not only can't I see my daughter, I must also let her go far away. It's just fate in this life."

Wang Lin said, and tears began to fall again.

Tang Rao, on the other hand, hummed a tune to himself, returning to the Tang Mansion in high spirits, only to hear the sounds of fighting inside the mansion, sounds that had been going on for some time with considerable intensity.

Granny Hua, Wu Suowei, and others weren't easy targets. Those fighting for so long under them surely had stronger capabilities than Tang Rao. He already reached outside the door, considering whether to enter or not.

"Hmph, hand over the person, or you'll all die!"

The person inside sneered arrogantly, the tone was not pleasant.

"Just a few of you, no match for us. If you know what's good for you, leave early and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Hua Wuque rarely spoke, so it was evident that the people inside had pushed him to his limit.

This only confirmed Tang Rao's decision not to enter.

"Yue Er is just a maid, is she worth your lives to protect? Do you think it's worth it?"

The man's words left Tang Rao momentarily stunned.

All along, he thought they were after him, not realizing they were seeking Yue Er.

"She belongs to Tang Rao. Our job is to protect her until Tang Rao returns. Her grudges with you are none of our concern, but please, respect yourselves."

Wu Suowei always stood by Tang Rao, and without Tang Rao's permission, no one could touch Tang Rao's people.

"Tang Rao? What even is Tang Rao? Our old master has a terrible temper, best not to provoke him, or your lives might become difficult."

They thought their old master was bad-tempered, and expected Tang Rao to be good-tempered? When Tang Rao got angry, even he feared himself, never had he been proud of such temperament, right?

Tang Rao shifted his feet twice, ultimately restraining himself from moving. A bad temper didn't mean he felt bold enough to risk his life.

"If you have a brain, leave immediately. The person you're looking for, I still say, you won't get her. Unless you can kill us all here and walk over our corpses!"

Tang Rao detected weariness in Wu Suowei's voice, likely due to exhaustion. The opponents were full of energy, and if fighting continued, Tang Rao's side would be the weaker one and sooner or later would lose.

He couldn't just hide away; the more dangerous it became, the less he could let Wu Suowei and the others bear it for him.

He was the leader of Kao Shan Sect, and Wu Suowei and others needed Tang Rao's protection, not a life of safeguarding Tang Rao at the possible expense of their own lives.

This time, his steps moved, and in a few quick strides, he stood inside the Tang Mansion.

"I say, you're really clueless about decorum. This is my Tang Mansion, just remodeled, and you've already wrecked it. You'll pay for this damage!"

No matter the arriving parties, causing Tang Rao loss warranted death, compensation owed to Tang Rao.

The uninvited guests felt as if hearing the biggest joke.

They came to wreck the place, where would compensation even come into it?
