The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Sir, actually, the matter concerning Tang Rao was not intentional on his part. He may have had other matters to attend to and couldn't fit the time in. Please, calm your anger," Han Jiuqing said, bowing.

"Couldn't fit the time in, hmph! Don't appreciate the favor given!" The Golden Master snorted angrily, with not a trace of fondness for Tang Rao.

I agreed to meet you, which is a great honor for you. And yet, here you are, acting all high and mighty.

"Han Jiuqing, be wiser in the future. Do not recommend such people to me again," the Golden Master said, looking at Han Jiuqing with an icy gaze.

"Mr. Tang, he actually..."

"How dare you! Get out!" The Golden Master clearly had no desire to listen to Han Jiuqing's excuses and bellowed at him.

"Yes." Han Jiuqing naturally did not dare to defy the man before him, bowed, and left the room.

"Ah!" Outside the door, Han Jiuqing shook his head helplessly, thinking about the Golden Master's formidable power and tactics, yet his personality was simply unbearable.

Tang Rao had posted a bounty worth over a hundred million in the Bounty Hall. Now he has come to visit you, both reason and sentiment dictate that you should receive him. Even if the final deal isn't reached, having one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

Acting like this will only leave Tang Rao dissatisfied with you.

Truly speaking, in Han Jiuqing's opinion, Tang Rao's background is even more terrifying than yours, Golden Master.

By his side, Xiao Yun, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old ninth-grade Luo Immortal, obeys Tang Rao's every command. One can only imagine the power he has behind him.

"Hei Luo." In the room, the Golden Master growled.

"My lord." From the partition, a man emerged, cloaked entirely in black robes.

"Go capture Tang Rao for me," the Golden Master ordered bluntly, as if daring to damage my Xiao Jinsan's face is a death wish.

"Yes." Hei Luo acknowledged and then vanished abruptly.

Xiao Jinsan, of course, knew Tang Rao had posted a bounty for a hundred million in the Bounty Hall, but what did that matter? It was only a hundred million; Xiao Jinsan didn't even take it seriously.

Besides, if this young man really was that wealthy, then by capturing and killing him, his money would become Xiao Jinsan's.

No problem at all!

...

"Brother, when are we heading back to the Kao Shan Sect? I told you long ago that this Golden Master is unreliable," Lu Jun complained while lying on a chair in the courtyard.

"You told me long ago? When exactly did you tell me? How come I am not aware of it?" Tang Rao glanced at Lu Jun, who spent his days following Fan Xiaohua and had become spoiled, always spouting nonsense without restraint.

"Ah, don't be so serious... Besides, there are many factions playing the bounty game in the Land of Immortals. Why bother with a single Bounty Hall? I say, let's start our own. Then, we can do whatever we want," Lu Jun said.

Tang Rao was stunned for a moment before his eyes gradually lit up.

Lu Jun's words made sense.

"Forget it, start our own? How many years would that take?" Fan Xiaohua scoffed, "For bounty tasks, you need to build up a reputation over time. If you really want to start one, without a decade or two, nobody would even know about it."

Tang Rao pursed his lips; Fan Xiaohua was right, having a good reputation is essential for posting bounty tasks, and this reputation is built over years.

If we were to start slowly, it would indeed be quite time-consuming.

However... isn't there a Bounty Hall ready at hand?

Tang Rao's foot lifted slightly; he had previously asked Fan Xiaohua to inform Han Jiuqing that he would not meet the Golden Master.

The Golden Master from Bounty Hall has been stewing for a few days over not seeing me; he must be quite upset over this little affair. This kind of person, told by me that we would meet and then not meeting, will surely hold a grudge.

It's likely he's already sent someone to ambush me.

"Whoosh!" Just as Tang Rao thought of this, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Dressed in a black robe, the entire head hidden beneath a hood, completely obscuring the face.

"Who is Tang Rao?" The person who arrived was Hei Luo.

"Who are you?" Tang Rao asked one question, "Do you dare to give me your name? Do you dare to show your face? I tell you, our Sect Master is a really busy person, not someone you can just meet whenever you want to?"

Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun both wore faces of solid fortitude, damn, Sect Master you're impressive, you can bluff without even blinking, you're obviously Tang Rao.

Of course, Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun didn't say a word, just watching Hei Luo.

Hei Luo was stunned for a moment, it seemed that none of these three before him was Tang Rao.

Based on his temperament, he would have killed these three already. But since the superior explicitly named to capture Tang Rao, if he killed someone and startled the snake, causing Tang Rao to flee, the loss would outweigh the gain.

"I am Hei Luo. Doesn't Tang Rao want to see the Golden Master? I've come to take him there." Hei Luo said, restraining his temper.

"Is that so, why didn't you say so earlier? Wait a moment, I'll call our Sect Master." As Tang Rao spoke, he ran off, leaving Fan Xiaohua and Lu Jun to stare at Hei Luo with wide eyes that seemed to lose sight...

Before long, Tang Rao returned with Xiao Yun, who held a piece of chocolate in her hand and looked quite content.

Seeing Tang Rao bring a little girl, Hei Luo was taken aback. What does this mean?

"Are you Tang Rao?" Hei Luo stretched out a hand, pointing at Xiao Yun, full of confusion.

Xiao Yun looked at Tang Rao: "Tang Rao, does this gloomy guy have a problem with his brain?"

Tang Rao? So this guy just now was Tang Rao?

Immediately, Hei Luo realized that he had been tricked, this damned scoundrel.

"You're Tang Rao, you tricked me!" Hei Luo pointed at Tang Rao, his tone filled with anger.

"Yes, I'm Tang Rao, is there a problem? Actually, I didn't mean to deceive you, but you, you really don't have any brains." Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders, with an expression that seemed to say 'I didn't want it this way either.'

At this moment, Hei Luo was fuming with rage, but he didn't make a move because if he did, he would certainly kill Tang Rao, and then he wouldn't be able to account for it to the Golden Master.

"You have two choices, first: come with me; second: die!" Hei Luo's eyes beneath the hood stared dead at Tang Rao.

This damned little beast, just wait for me, once things are done at the Golden Master's side, I will make sure you wish you could die!

"Alright then, I choose to die, I choose to be led by a dog, come and kill me!" Tang Rao spread his arms wide, as if he was ready to die and would not fight back.

Hei Luo: "..."

"If you're choosing death, then don't blame me!" Hei Luo snorted in anger, reasoning that the Golden Master was also extremely furious with this guy, so bringing him in battered shouldn't cause any blame.

Must control my strength, Hei Luo silently reminded himself, it wouldn't be good if I killed the guy.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Hei Luo charged at Tang Rao.

Bang!

But Hei Luo hadn't even touched Tang Rao when his body lost control. A hand reached straight through the hood, grabbed his ear, and then his whole body was vehemently slammed to the ground.

His face made intimate contact with the ground, and it hurt like hell.

"As expected, the brain isn't working well." Of course, it was Xiao Yun who made the move, grabbing Hei Luo's ear and banging him a few more times.

Hei Luo was dizzy, feeling like the entire world was spinning.
