The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 768: Eerie Self-Confidence



Upon hearing Fan Xiaohua's description, Hao Tian became even more arrogant, as if he were the greatest genius under heaven, able to trample the universe and shake the eight directions with his fists.

He kept snorting through his nose, as if he was going to blow up the sky.

Tang Rao had a face full of ellipses, and when he looked at Zhou Wenmo, her eyes were also filled with helplessness—she hadn't realized Hao Tian had such a personality.

It's not exactly arrogance, but it's certainly both conceit and a lack of politeness.

Such a person would likely be unwelcome anywhere.

If it wasn't for his decent talents and cultivation to the Luo Xian Realm, he'd probably have been beaten to dust long ago.

"The task starts in about two months and will also last for two months. Any problems with the timing?" Tang Rao continued to ask.

It's necessary to ask these things in advance; otherwise, when the time comes, one will say they're busy, another that their wife is giving birth—what a mess that would be.

"No problem," Cha Xiangzi shook his head.

"Two months after two months... Can't you move the schedule up? Starting from now and extending two months is still manageable. Besides, you're assigning the task now, so it should be something that needs to be done sooner, right? You can't just announce new tasks two months later," Hao Tian droned on.

Tang Rao: "..."

To be honest, when Hao Tian mentioned he was from the Qinghe Sect, Tang Rao wanted to tell him to leave, because I'm taking you all to a sect exchange meeting, and the Qinghe Sect will surely be there; that would be awkward.

However, considering Hao Tian's face and not wanting to offend the Qinghe Sect, he reiterated the timing specifically.

He expected Hao Tian would leave due to the timing conflict, but instead, the guy turned around and demanded Tang Rao start earlier. Tang Rao really wanted to kick him to death.

"Sorry, my task is set for two months from now, lasting two months. If that's inconvenient for you, the door is right there, please feel free to leave," Tang Rao said calmly.

Yes, he was already being very polite.

Yet, Hao Tian clearly didn't sense the hard-earned politeness from Tang Rao, his face still full of dissatisfaction.

"What the fuck, what do you mean by that? I've already come and you say no? What a joke! Let me tell you, starting today, I'll follow you for the next two months! Once the two months are over, I'll leave. The Immortal Stones should be paid to me first. With my reputation and strength, Hao Tian, taking thirty percent of a hundred million Immortal Stones is not too much, that's thirty million," Hao Tian said to Tang Rao.

The whole courtyard was flabbergasted.

What the hell? Can it even work like this?

"I'm really about to die laughing from anger," Fan Xiaohua said, covering her forehead, "honestly, I've never seen anything like this in my life."

The others also expressed their agreement with their expressions; they had never seen anything like it either.

Tang Rao, on the other hand, was twisting his face, thinking, I don't look up to anyone else in the forums, but I have to admire you.

I really want to ask you, doesn't your soul feel any pain after saying what you just said?

"I have a phrase I'm not sure whether I should say," Tang Rao said to Hao Tian, although he didn't want to pick a fight with the Qinghe Sect, but when the arrogance came to his own home, who else should he confront if not you?

"What phrase?" Obviously, Hao Tian didn't know what the three words meant, "Don't speak nonsense to me, just answer me directly, do you agree or not?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Rao.

"Of course, I don't agree," Tang Rao was about to express his anger when Zhou Yunmo spoke up.

Zhou Yunmo knew Tang Rao's temperament well—once he lost his cool, he'd likely not only thrash Hao Tian but give him a beating. Then, if Hao Tian went back to Qinghe Sect and complained, the sect would certainly come demanding an explanation.

So, she preempted Tang Rao and shouted out.

"What did you say?" Hao Tian glared at Zhou Wenmo.

"It's not personal, Mr. Hao, but you really do not meet Mr. Tang's requirements. Sorry, but your abilities are just too poor," Zhou Wenmo said.

Upon hearing Zhou Wenmo's words, Hao Tian's eyes widened as if he had his tail stepped on.

"You say I'm too weak? What a joke, I, Hao Tian, am a true genius!" Hao Tian shouted.

"Mr. Tang Rao is currently recruiting two people, one is me, and the other is that gentleman." Zhou Wenmo pointed to Dongfang Lu who had been silent at the side.

"The two of us are the minimum standard for Mr. Tang Rao's recruitment. Unfortunately, you can't beat either of us." Zhou Wenmo continued.

"Can't beat you? Hahaha, Zhou Wenmo, are you kidding me?" Hao Tian laughed wildly.

Do you not know that my talent soars to the heavens?

"I and Mr. Dongfang are both older than you, it would seem somewhat like bullying if we fought with you. So, how about you have a match with Cha Xiangzi?" Zhou Wenmo said.

Tang Rao's eyes lit up at Zhou Wenmo's clever move.

"Alright, Cha Xiangzi is about your age. If you win against him, I'll agree to your request. Moreover, I'll give you an extra hundred million Immortal Stones." Tang Rao said.

Hearing that Tang Rao would give an extra hundred million, Hao Tian was truly invigorated.

That's a hundred million Immortal Stones! Having struggled for so many years, the most he had ever earned was around ten million Immortal Stones. Tang Rao offering a hundred million at once was really generous.

"Cha Xiangzi, is it? Come on!" Hao Tian was thrilled and directly challenged Cha Xiangzi.

"Hold on," Cha Xiangzi said, extending his hand.

"Hahaha, what, ready to admit defeat? That's not a bad choice, better than getting beaten to internal injury by me later on." Hao Tian laughed loudly.

The crowd facepalmed again.

Doesn't the Qinghe Sect understand power levels? Mr. Tang is recruiting Luo Xian Realm cultivators under forty, and those brought by Zhou Wenmo have to be at least at the Luo Xian Realm.

And you, Hao Tian, are the weakest Heavenly Immortal, where does this confidence come from?

"Mr. Tang, may I ask if you will give him an extra hundred million for defeating me, what if I defeat him?" Cha Xiangzi asked calmly.

Tang Rao narrowed his eyes; Cha Xiangzi was indeed interesting.

"Here are two options for you." Tang Rao thought for a moment and then said, "First: I'll give you an extra twenty million Immortal Stones, not counting the mission fee; Second: I'll give you a hundred million Immortal Stones, and from today onwards, you join my sect."

"Why do I only get twenty million?" Cha Xiangzi asked.

"What do you want, young man! I'm giving this to you for free," Tang Rao said with rolling eyes, it's clear to anyone with eyes who would win or lose given the difference in your strengths.

Upon hearing Tang Rao's words, Cha Xiangzi suddenly smiled.

"Sect Master, I choose the second option. Can I get paid first?" Cha Xiangzi asked Tang Rao, seeming a bit shy and careful.

"Of course." Tang Rao threw over a Space Ring without any hesitation, containing exactly one hundred million Immortal Stones.

What the heck?

Hao Tian was confused. The fight hadn't even started, why was he giving away money? Besides, it should be given to me, I'm clearly the one who will win.

"Thank you." Cha Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, he had never thought someone could be so generous, handing over a hundred million Immortal Stones just like that.

"Talents are hard to come by." Tang Rao smiled. "Alright, you may begin."

Cha Xiangzi nodded, then casually pointed his finger.

Boom!

Space shattered, and energy surged like a dragon.

Hao Tian hadn't even had the chance to react before he was blasted away, crashing into an old tree in the courtyard.

It was lucky that Cha Xiangzi had held back, otherwise, Hao Tian could have been squished into a meatball by now.
