The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Three people immediately ran over, all six eyes turning towards Qin Nuahuai.

"My my, Sect Master, you've snared another beauty, huh?" Fan Xiaohua's eyes gleamed with delight. Girls from big places are just different, each one prettier than the last, each one brighter than the last.

"Bro, who is this missy? She's so pretty!" Lu Jun came up and sweetly sucked up to her, what a sissy!

As for the fool, he just stared at Qin Nuahuai without saying a word.

Qin Nuahuai blushed with embarrassment under their gazes, making her look even more ravishingly beautiful.

"Let me introduce you all, this is Qin Nuahuai, a new member I've recruited into the Kao Shan Sect. She'll serve as the beauty ambassador of our sect. Any objections?" Tang Rao asked.

"None at all, whatever you say, Sect Master," Fan Xiaohua's face broke into a beaming smile.

"Bro, you're doing such a great job as the Sect Master, I only follow your lead." Lu Jun gave a thumbs up, "Having such a missy as the beauty ambassador of the Kao Shan Sect, seems like you can swindle a whole bunch more people into joining."

"What do you mean 'swindle'? Can't you talk properly? Our Kao Shan Sect is a stock full of potential. Joining the Kao Shan Sect now promises endless benefits in the future." Tang Rao gave Lu Jun the middle finger.

Lu Jun pouted and scoffed back at Tang Rao.

Qin Nuahuai watched dumbfounded as Tang Rao bickered with Lu Jun and Fan Xiaohua. Are these really the Sect Master and sect members? Why is their relationship like this? It's so strange, yet it feels so good and comfortable.

"Nuahuai, let me introduce you, this is the fool," said Tang Rao, pointing to the only one who hadn't spoken.

The fool? Qin Nuahuai was stunned for a moment, wondering who would have such a name...

"Uh, the fool's not all there in the head. But he's got a good nature and doesn't bully anybody," Tang Rao said.

"Hello, fool," Qin Nuahuai waved her hand, thinking it felt like she was cursing someone.

Seeing Qin Nuahuai waving at him, the fool also broke into a grin and waved his hand back.

"As for these two..." Tang Rao looked at Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun, "forget it, there's no need to introduce these two idiots."

"Sect Master, that's too much! Hello, Nuahuai, I'm Fan Xiaohua, you can just call me Xiaohua." Fan Xiaohua ran up and introduced herself.

"Missy, I'm Lu Jun, we'll have fun together," Lu Jun shamelessly moved closer, still being as effeminate as ever, which was intolerable.

"That's enough, you can all get lost now. Don't keep buzzing around in front of me, it's annoying." Tang Rao waved them off.

"Xiao Jun, fool, let's go drink!"

"You're the one paying," said Lu Jun.

"Damn it, the Sect Master said you're filthy rich, have you no shame? I came from a backwater, where would I have money?"

Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun bickered nonstop as they walked away, never quiet until they were out of the courtyard. As for the fool, he just quietly followed along, contented with the promise of a drink, not grasping the concept of paying at all.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," Tang Rao let out a sigh, rolling his eyes. Putting Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun together was just unbearable, they talked too much nonsense.

"Sect Master, is this what the Kao Shan Sect is really like?" Qin Nuahuai asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the way the sect members talk to you. Doesn't it make you seem less commanding?" Qin Nuahuai said.

"Uh, less commanding? Haven't you read the sect rules? In the Kao Shan Sect, everyone has equal authority; the only difference lies in our respective duties. If I don't do a good job, the sect members have the right to dismiss me..."

Qin Nuahuai was taken aback. Could it really be like this?

"Well, you can stay in that room. I'm going out to take care of some business," Tang Rao said.

"Understood, Sect Master." Qin Nuahuai nodded.

After leaving the courtyard, Tang Rao went directly to the Bounty Hall to find Zhou Wenmo.

"Wenmo, how's the investigation I asked you to conduct going?" Inside Zhou Wenmo's room, Tang Rao asked as he sipped tea.

"There's actually something." Zhou Wenmo nodded. "I've investigated, and the person at the Bounty Hall with the closest ties to Lu Tianhao should be Feng Tian, but Feng Tian hasn't shown up at the Bounty Hall these past two days, and no one knows where he's gone. It's as if he's evaporated into thin air."

"What Realm is Feng Tian at?" Tang Rao inquired.

"Heavenly Immortal of the Seventh Layer," Zhou Wenmo replied.

"I see... that matches up with the situation." Tang Rao nodded. Much of this he was only guessing at, without any concrete evidence. However, sometimes the premise of the truth is a conjecture.

"Are you able to get in touch with Lu Shengkai?" Tang Rao asked another question.

"Yes." Zhou Wenmo produced a communicator.

Such communicators could be used for long-distance communication, but there were many restrictions. Firstly, communicators could only be used to contact their maker, the conversation wouldn't be long, typically within a minute, and all these communicators were disposable—once used, they were discarded.

This made Tang Rao quite confident about the widespread adoption of Illusion City. The feature of communication anytime and anywhere alone would make the people of the Land of Immortals fall in love with it.

The space in the Land of Immortals is different from the lower realms. Space here is extremely stable, so it suppresses the powers of Cultivators significantly.

The same Ninth Layer Heavenly Immortal, might not even be able to destroy a city in the Land of Immortals, but in the lower realms, such as the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, could potentially even destroy an entire Star Domain.

"Master Lu, this is Zhou Wenmo." At this time, Zhou Wenmo had already gotten through to Lu Shengkai.

"Master Lu, do you perhaps have a body in your possession? Feng Tian's body." Tang Rao asked directly.

Within the Lu Family, Lu Shengkai's eyes lit up. He had deliberately omitted the matter of Feng Tian's death to see if Tang Rao truly had the ability to find out.

To his surprise, Tang Rao had actually managed to dig it out.

"Yes," Lu Shengkai affirmed, since Tang Rao had already found out, there was no point in hiding it.

"I see. In four days, I'll come to the Lu Family to find you," Tang Rao said, and the communicator in Zhou Wenmo's hand turned immediately into dust.

Inside the Lu Family, Lu Shengkai's eyes were filled with excitement.

Tang Rao saying he would come to the Lu Family in four days meant that he was utterly confident he could identify the murderer by then. The thought of the person who had killed his own son turned Lu Shengkai's excitement into rage.

"Family Head, the elders are all waiting outside. Please, come out for a bit," someone called from outside the door at this moment.

Lu Shengkai's expression was grim. It hadn't been many days since Tian Hao's death, and some people were already getting restless, thinking about who he would choose as the next Family Head.

And now they had even brought up the Elder Council, showing clear impatience.

"I understand, I'll come out," Lu Shengkai replied with a voice, slowly getting up.

...

"Boss, you've already got a lead?" Zhou Wenmo was also surprised. Tang Rao saying he would go to see Lu Shengkai in four days meant that he was confident he could get the investigation sorted out.

"Of course, with my clever little head, how could such a thing be too difficult for me. It's lucky I wasn't born in ancient times, otherwise, the name Tang Qingtian would surely have echoed throughout the cosmos," Tang Rao said proudly.

Zhou Wenmo could only roll his eyes, feeling embarrassed, What ancient times? Who is Tang Qingtian? I don't understand.
