The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

After Xiao Yun left, Lu Jun and the others all ran up.

"Damn, bro, what did you say to Xiao Yun? Man, she's so nice to you... Oh right, what did you say to the Pavilion Master when you went to the backyard just now? Can you tell me? You don't know how much I adore the Pavilion Master, it's almost overflowing." Shi Pang looked at Tang Rao with a face full of anticipation.

"Uh, kids, just trick them with a couple of candies, it's pretty simple." Tang Rao shrugged and said, "As for the Pavilion Master, I really didn't say much. She asked me if I recognized the characters on the bamboo slip, I said I didn't, and she told me to get lost."

"Me too..." Shi Pang looked sad, "Hey, do you think that bamboo slip belongs to someone the Pavilion Master cherishes? Maybe her loved one is missing, and she wants to find him."

Tang Rao: "..."

I have to admit, Shi Pang, your imagination is really something.

"It's all baseless talk; speaking of which, are you going to treat us to drinks or not? If not, we're leaving!" Tang Rao said to Shi Pang.

"Of course, I'm treating, let's go!" Shi Pang didn't say more and led the way.

...

"I wonder if Tang Rao still has any lollipops." Xiao Yun was holding two lollipops, with another one in her mouth, making popping sounds.

"Xiao Yun, is Mr. Tang Rao alright?" Seeing the lollipops in Xiao Yun's hand, the woman couldn't help but ask.

The two other lollipops in Xiao Yun's hand were clearly taken from Tang Rao; she hoped the girl hadn't done anything too excessive to Tang Rao.

"He's fine, what could be wrong with him? Actually, he's quite a decent person," Xiao Yun said squinting.

"It's my first time hearing you say a man is decent," the woman said with a laugh.

Xiao Yun shrugged, "Sister, you can't blame me; who asked me to have high standards... Tang Rao, that guy, is barely decent. Of course, if he gave me ten lollipops, then I'd consider him truly decent."

In Xiao Yun's eyes, whether a person is good or not is related to the number of lollipops.

Luckily, Tang Rao has been through Blue Star; how could other people come up with something magical like lollipops?

"Alright, you still have homework to do," the woman suddenly said.

"Ah… alright…" Xiao Yun pouted; the so-called homework was reading, two hours every day.

Normally, she would be quite reluctant, but she was in a good mood today, so reading for two hours wasn't a big deal.

"If only you were this obedient every day," the woman said, somewhat surprised by Xiao Yun's behavior today.

"Sister, if you could give me a lollipop every day, I would definitely be disciplined," Xiao Yun said.

...

"Oh, sister, I forgot to tell you something..." Just as Xiao Yun was about to enter the room, she suddenly slapped her head, "Tang Rao asked me to give you a message… uh, what was it? Oh right, he told me to tell you: The peach blossoms are beautiful. I don't know what he means, there are so many flowers in the yard, what's the deal with peach blossoms? Do those flowers like to run away? Do they have legs?"

Xiao Yun didn't know that the tree the woman planted is a peach tree, and the flowers on it are peach blossoms.

Xiao Yun only knew that her sister cherished this tree, which she had only seen here.

At this moment, the woman's expression changed completely, her eyes blazing with sharpness!

"He knows! He knows!" the woman murmured to herself.

"Xiao Yun, where is he? Where is Tang Rao?" the woman asked immediately.

"Ah? Tang Rao? He left, I don't know where he went." Xiao Yun also realized that something was off with her sister.

Could it be that the phrase "peach blossom is very beautiful" has some special significance? Why did it suddenly excite my sister so much?

Could it be... peach blossom, the flowers? Are the flowers on this tree peach blossoms?

"Send someone to look for him, start searching now, we must find him... never mind, I'll go myself," the woman said after a moment of thought.

"Sister, can I come with you? I'm familiar with Tang Rao, and we're friends," Xiao Yun immediately said. "Even though I don't know where to start, I have a good nose. He must have picked up some scent, and I can sniff it out."

"Alright, but don't talk nonsense."

"Okay sister, got it."

...

In a private room in Jade Fragrance Pavilion, Tang Rao, Shi Pang, Lu Jun, A Ji, and a fool were drinking fervently.

"Tang Rao, we brothers hit it off at first sight. Although we haven't swapped vows of life and death, we have shared hearty drinks. Here's a toast! From now on, let's look out for each other. If you're in trouble, I'll help; if I'm in trouble, you back me up. Whoever backs out is a little dog! How about that?" Shi Pang said solemnly, holding up his cup.

Tang Rao was of course delighted; Shi Pang was from Luo Xian Realm, and he really needed such solid martial friends.

To make a friend is to gain an ally!

"If Brother Shi says so, of course I agree. I, Tang Rao, might not have much, but I can surely offer my full loyalty!" Tang Rao raised his cup.

"Hahaha, cheers!"

They both drank in one go.

"By the way, from now on, I'll call you Mantis, calling you by your name feels strange!" Shi Pang spontaneously gave Tang Rao a nickname.

"Damn, then I'll call you Dead Fatty," Tang Rao rolled his eyes. The name Dead Fatty was a perfect match for Shi Pang. The guy was naturally hefty, and his last name being Pang, not calling him Dead Fatty would be a shame.

Shi Pang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, let's go with that! Dead Fatty, gagaga, this nickname has a great ring to it!" Shi Pang slapped the table as he spoke.

Tang Rao: "…"

Someone actually liked the nickname Dead Fatty, what an oddity.

"I am also Brother Tang's brother..." Lu Jun leaned in to say.

"You?" Shi Pang looked at Lu Jun, his expression complex, "I'm not saying I dislike you, but can't you keep some distance from my brother? Others might not know, but don't I know? The Lu Family, don't end up harming my brother."

"Impossible!" Lu Jun immediately exclaimed, "I am me, my family is my family, I would definitely never harm Brother Tang."

"Many things are beyond your control," Shi Pang shrugged.

Lu Jun fell silent; he didn't want to argue with Shi Pang, but what Shi Pang said was indeed true.

His family... was just too complicated.

"Alright, enough of this, let's drink!" Tang Rao lifted his cup.

"Sure, let's drink. These things are hard to say," Shi Pang shook his head. Tang Rao must know some of the background of Lu Jun. Since he didn't care, Shi Pang won't say too much.

...

"Xiao Yun, have you smelled anything yet?" On the streets of Dark Moon City, the woman looked at Xiao Yun, her expression anxious.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm trying my best. This is difficult, the scent is so faint, I need to be sure," Xiao Yun sniffed as he spoke.
