The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1676 - 1675: The Fourth Group

The spirit forced up in that exhaustion made Tang Rao and Shu Yi both feel sympathetic."You're saying that the Yan Family invited so many people to the birthday banquet with a purpose?"

After Shu Yi's father finished asking, Tang Rao nodded heavily in agreement.

"I don't know if there was a purpose at the beginning, but now there definitely is. If you don't believe me, you can wait until the banquet starts to verify my words. But for the sake of you being Shu Yi's father, I advise you to believe me this once. After all, life only comes once, and the vast wealth of the Shu Family wasn't built overnight. You wouldn't want anything happening to the Shu Family or its members, right?"

"Dad, I can vouch that everything Tang Rao said is true. The Second Son of Yan Family wants to use this birthday banquet of the Old Man Yan to make everyone who attends from East Island acknowledge the status of Poisonous Insect Technique and Soul Capturing Technique, no longer let people think that Yan Family follows the evil path. But after so many years, you know well that those people from the Yan Family practice nothing but the evil path. If we acknowledge it, we betray our conscience. If we don't, we'll bring disaster upon ourselves. Either choice won't benefit us. Dad, do you want to betray your conscience and collude with the Yan Family, or be targeted and avenged by the Yan Family?"

That's really a dilemma!

Shu Yi's father, wise for a lifetime, didn't expect this birthday banquet to hide such trouble. It's fortunate that Shu Yi and Tang Rao stepped forward to warn them; otherwise, they might not even know how they would die.

"The Yan Family has flaunted enough in East Island all these years. Back then, without us turning a blind eye, the Yan Family wouldn't have survived. Now their foundation is solid, they are becoming increasingly arrogant, and they disregard us. It seems the Yan Family is determined to oppose us this time. Naturally, I won't give them a good face, let alone collude with such people!"

Don't be fooled by Shu Yi's father looking hard to get along. When he speaks, he's full of righteousness, which even moves Tang Rao.

"Old Master, didn't you say the Shu Family wouldn't dare to mess with the Yan Family easily? Aren't you afraid the Yan Family will give you trouble?"

He deliberately teased Shu Yi's father, who was obviously just looking for reasons to shirk moments ago, but now seems to have made a complete turnaround.

"The Yan Family? Sure, I wouldn't have brought trouble upon myself before. Now it's different. The Yan Family is digging their own grave, and I'm standing with justice. The Shu Family has many old friends who will attend the Old Master Yan's birthday banquet. If I tell them in advance about the Yan Family's possible actions, I'll be far from the only one to stand up against them. Facing the whole Yan Family might be difficult for the Shu Family, but if several families band together to outnumber the Yan Family unexpectedly, do you still think defeating the Yan Family is a tough task?"

Old Master lives up to his name. Even if he can't defeat the Yan Family alone, he can easily gather several families to form alliances, uniting to fight.

The Second Son of Yan Family never expected his plan had long been seen through. While they were making 'strict deployments,' Tang Rao and the others had already seen through everything, responding as needed, and opposing the Second Son of Yan Family.

The Old Master Yan's birthday is the next day, and in the afternoon of the day before, the Second Son of Yan's father was at home having an outburst of anger.

"Useless, all of you are useless, can't even kill one outsider! Why do I keep you around? You're worse than having a dog!"

The curses in the courtyard were getting worse, and those kneeling couldn't even breathe loudly, unable to do anything but bow their heads and take the scolding.

"Yan Shu's been dead for a few days. I sent out three groups of people, and you're telling me whoever went out went missing, dead or alive unknown, even their bodies are unseen. Is this the reason you're giving?"

No bodies, no news; the ones sent out truly don't know where they went. That's the answer for the master. Unexpectedly, speaking truthfully, in the master's ears, it seemed like perfunctory. No matter what was said, not killing Tang Rao and bringing nobody back meant they broke a taboo, an error.

"Tomorrow is Old Master Yan's birthday. I don't want a single issue tomorrow. Today, send out the last group. If you still can't find Tang Rao, don't return alive. All of you die!"

What?

Today?

There's only half a day left. Three groups already never returned. After so many days, sending out a fourth group today amidst urgency is pushing these kneeling people to their deaths, isn't it?

"Master, it's not that we don't want to kill Tang Rao. The kid's truly mysterious. With only half a day left, catching Tang Rao would be incredibly difficult. Please give us a bit more time!"

Even a little extra time would suffice, better than despairing to death.

"Then die now!"

The speaking man's body exploded on the spot.

"Anyone else who thinks this mission is hard, thinks it's harder than dying, I will gladly fulfill him!"

This declaration led the courtyard into utter silence.

Killing beats facing death, quite evidently.

"Anyone else?"

The bowed heads remained lowered, and no one dared to utter another word.

"Since no one speaks, shouldn't you be going?"

After a roar, those kneeling felt vastly relieved.

Hovering on the brink of death, sending them out now feels like a transition from Hell to Heaven.

This is the fourth group. If before Old Master's birthday, this fourth group still can't capture Tang Rao, he even wonders if an accident might occur on the day of the birthday.

It's the Old Master's birthday; even a minor incident could trigger a vast chain reaction. Worse yet, should Old Master become thunderously angry, the entire Yan Family would face the repercussions.

The Old Master isn't aware of Yan Shu's death yet. Despite being a relative, he was here for the birthday banquet. Yan Shu's death inevitably ties back to Old Master. Before revealing the matter to the Old Master, he must settle it.

"Tang Rao, my eyelids won't stop twitching. Do you think something will happen?"

Bei Lin, clenching her uncontrollably twitching eyelid, after a bout of panic, shared her anxiety with Tang Rao.
