The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1674 - 1673: Shu Yi's Family

Dealing with everyone else is fine, but dealing with Shu Yi's biological father, his own flesh and blood!They've lived together for so many years, there must be an incredibly deep bond. If Tang Rao accidentally offends Shu Yi's biological father, he indirectly offends Shu Yi as well. Then, he'll get nothing from either side and ends up being shunned by both. Ultimately, isn't he the one who'll get hurt?

"I'm serious, my dad is particularly difficult to deal with, and I'm no match for him. Trying to confront him with my own skills would just be a fool's dream. But if it were you, the result would definitely be different."

Shu Yi gave Tang Rao a look that he couldn't quite comprehend, scaring Tang Rao so much that he straightened his back and took a cautious step backward.

"What a joke, what do you mean if it were me, the result would definitely be good? Are you saying I have a sharp tongue?"

Although Tang Rao having a sharp tongue is the truth, coming from Shu Yi's mouth, it seemed to take on a different tone, as if Shu Yi wasn't actually complimenting him.

"My dad likes people with your kind of personality. I think if you step in, you can easily handle my dad. Brother, you see the situation at my home. If something goes wrong, how can the Shu Family continue to survive on East Island?"

With tears and snot, Shu Yi pleaded to Tang Rao, and Tang Rao surprisingly fell for it, agreeing to Shu Yi's rather inhumane request.

Just as Tang Rao and Shu Yi reached an understanding, an urgent knock on the door from outside the room caught their attention.

"Open up, if you don't open the door, we're coming in!"

The knocker had a rough voice, filled with threats towards the people inside.

"Coming here at this time, I guess I overestimated the Yan Family. I thought they were more competent than this."

Already knowing who was outside, Tang Rao didn't play hide and seek with them but instead opened the door and invited them inside.

"If you're visiting, just visit. Carrying a big knife made me think you were here for a fight."

Tang Rao greeted everyone with a smile, even those causing trouble for him.

"Enough nonsense. Tell me, are you the one who killed Yan Shu from the Yan Family's side branch?"

The rough voice directly targeted Tang Rao as soon as he spoke.

Interestingly, the rough voice's intuition was accurate; he came in and found the right person immediately.

"Yes, I killed him. That's right, he asked for it, and it has nothing to do with me."

Yan Shu indeed was looking for death. Tang Rao merely helped him along, and in the 21st-century Blue Star, the Yan Family should thank Tang Rao for doing such a commendable thing. What sense does it make to question him with a big knife?

"Since you killed him, that's all that matters. Our master wants to see you, so you'd better come with us."

The master or the old master?

Tang Rao didn't notice this term, but Shu Yi did.

The two terms sound innocuous, but when you really think about it, they refer to two different people.

"Is it your master or your old master who wants to see him?"

Shu Yi asked on behalf of Tang Rao.

"Of course, it's our master. Just someone who killed a person, does he think he's qualified to meet our old master!?"

A mere henchman, speaking very rudely indeed. It was understandable that he didn't recognize Tang Rao, but how could he not recognize Shu Yi?

The only possibility is that they simply don't regard Shu Yi at all.

"So it's your master who wants to see him. Well, I can tell you your master isn't qualified to meet him either, and with your visit today, you might not return."

Shu Yi gave Tang Rao a look indicating that they had to finish off these people. Tang Rao caught on and, together with Shu Yi, took on six of them, leaving them lying at their feet.

Tang Rao took out the Corpse Disintegration Powder, sprinkled a little over the bodies, and the six people disappeared as if they had never been there, turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing into the air.

"The potion you gave me last time, I used it once, and it worked really well. Do you have any more? Can you give me a bit more?"

Leaving the inn, Tang Rao held Bei Lin's hand, while Shu Yi followed alongside him, pestering Tang Rao for more benefits.

"It's gone. I gave you all of it last time. I haven't had time to make more. Next time I get the raw materials and make it, I'll definitely share some with you, but not now."

Shu Yi could only lower his head and lead the way for Tang Rao and the others.

The news of Shu Yi bringing back a man and a woman had spread throughout the Shu Family.

Following Shu Yi, Tang Rao felt some strange stares and couldn't help but nudge Bei Lin, wanting her to feel it too—to see if he was imagining it or if their gazes were indeed odd.

Bringing people to the Shu Family wasn't the issue; the issue was that it was Shu Yi, who had never brought strangers home before. Bringing two this time, how could it not feel strange?

"Shu Yi, do all your family members look at outsiders with this expression, or is this their usual way of welcoming guests? Why does it feel so strange to me?"

Bei Lin agreed with Tang Rao, also curious why these people seemed so odd.

"It's my first time bringing someone home. They probably find it strange because of that."

Haha.

It was the first time Tang Rao found Shu Yi so aloof.

"You've never had friends before?"

It's not surprising Tang Rao thought that way. If Shu Yi had friends, he would have brought them home long ago, instead of bringing his first friend home only now.

"I never thought about bringing people back before. I could deal with matters directly outside."

Tang Rao felt a bit sorry for Shu Yi's friends, just wondering if they'd view Tang Rao with hostility for life upon learning that Shu Yi actually brought someone home.

"Young Master, the master wants to see you when you get home."

As soon as Shu Yi came back, his father called for him, indicating the Shu Family kept a close eye on everything Shu Yi did.

Yet, knowing Shu Yi's relationship with Tang Rao, his father didn't come out to stop it. Does that mean he approved of the friendship between Shu Yi and Tang Rao?

"Tell him I'll go later, and also, since we have honored guests, make something good to eat tonight."

Tang Rao loved hearing Shu Yi talk about having something good to eat. It seemed like coming to the Shu Family wasn't as bad as he imagined.

"Your dad already knows I'm here, so once you meet your dad, I'll also go say hello. It's polite for the younger generation to greet the elders; some etiquettes are necessary."

Tang Rao's initiative to mention meeting Shu Yi's dad touched Shu Yi so much that he was about to burst into tears.

"Then I'll go find him first and then come back to you."
