The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1208 - 1207: Leniency Through Confession

Light circle?As soon as I heard it, it sounded like something grand and superior.

"You're covered in smoke, looking for a light circle, where exactly is this light circle you're talking about?"

Tang Rao was almost dying of anxiety, yet Jixing remained calm and unhurried.

"Why don't you search carefully, tail, waist, those places where things could be hidden, you can check all of those."

Jixing had already given Tang Rao such detailed instructions, if Tang Rao still couldn't find it, it would be an issue of his intelligence.

"Still nothing."

Tang Rao had dispersed all the smoke, but still saw no sign of the so-called light circle.

Could it be lost due to the passage of time?

"I remember now, it's inside my ear, last time I hid it there to prevent it from being discovered."

Where's the knife, my knife?

Not knowing is one thing, but to confidently tell Tang Rao it's here and there, now that memory strikes, it's already too late!

Fortunately, Tang Rao managed to keep his composure, pulling Jixing over and finally found a small circle slightly larger than an eye in its so-called ear.

"Yes, yes, this is it. After all these years, it still looks so dazzling, I almost feel envious of its beauty."

Jixing spoke while swallowing, frightening Tang Rao into stepping back.

"You said all that's needed is to put this over the Kao Shan Sect, correct?"

Tang Rao confirmed once more, and only after Jixing nodded until dizziness did Tang Rao fully trust his words.

"Tang Rao, is it that you think I'm not very trustworthy, so you never believe me?"

Though a bit defeated, Jixing did not lose the courage to continue speaking with Tang Rao.

"You must remember, you are not human, you're just a ball of smoke."

Tang Rao once again helped Jixing face reality.

"I'm just a ball of smoke, a ball of smoke that Tang Rao doesn't need."

After completing its task, Jixing disappeared in dejection, where it vanished to, only Tang Rao knew.

For some reason, seeing Jixing vanish with its tail between its legs, Tang Rao surprisingly felt a bit lost.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood and messed up the Little World, scared you all, that was my mistake."

Tang Rao sincerely apologized to the Little Purple Crystals who had been frightened, who had initially grouped together to flee, but immediately forgave Tang Rao once he apologized.

Sure enough, the love these Purple Crystals have for Tang Rao is unique, only towards Tang Rao they are so loyal.

"Tang Rao is okay now, Tang Rao is okay now."

"Tang Rao is not crazy, Tang Rao is not crazy."

The Purple Crystals are truly unforgiving, and a simple apology made them bloom with smiles.

"Good, you all stay temporarily in the Little World, I'm heading out first."

The first thing Tang Rao did upon leaving was to affix the light circle above the Kao Shan Sect, once applied, it vanished, even Tang Rao couldn't tell if it still existed.

After finishing, he thought about how there's still time, and went to notify the Li Family.

This matter with Li Qi Qi must be explained to Li Zhentong, even though my daughter is gone, Li Zhentong, Tang Rao will take responsibility for Li Qi Qi.

"Master Tang is back, oh my, Master Tang."

The Tingzhou Li Family was brightly lit, with Tang Rao surveying his domain like a king, greeted cordially wherever he went.

All those who came to work for the Tingzhou Li Family respectfully called Tang Rao "Master Tang", respecting both Li Zhentong and preserving Tang Rao's esteem.

"Where's my father-in-law?"

Tang Rao searched for a long time but found no trace of Li Zhentong.

"The old master is inside, but it seems, he's not in a good mood."

A few craftsmen glanced at Tang Rao with sympathy.

Tang Rao didn't ask why the old master was in a bad mood, but went directly to where he was, to find out what's going on.

"Old master, what's wrong?"

About to dive into those heavy topics, Tang Rao's mood also became heavy.

"Qi Qi's soul jade plate shattered."

Tang Rao hadn't even mentioned this matter to Li Zhentong, but Li Zhentong already knew.

"Old master, you already knew."

Tang Rao said with regret.

"I came today to talk about this."

Li Zhentong raised his head, wanting Tang Rao to give him an explanation.

Why, when Li Qi Qi was with the Tingzhou Li Family, nothing happened, yet trouble came when with Tang Rao.

"Qi Qi encountered the Black Demon, I couldn't protect her and let the Black Demon harm her."

Every word Tang Rao spoke bore no falsehood, talking about the grief made him choke with emotion repeatedly.

After all, she was Tang Rao's woman, the one who had been with him the longest in the Divine Realm, suddenly gone, to say Tang Rao wasn't heartbroken would be impossible.

"Black Demon? Tang Rao, you know the Black Demon?"

Li Zhentong was as shocked hearing this as when he saw Li Qi Qi's soul jade plate break.

"Old master, do you know too?"

The Black Demon is a supreme deity, until now, Tang Rao couldn't discern if it had just become a supreme deity, or was infinitely approaching the main deity.

"I know a bit, but not much. How on earth did you and Qi Qi get involved with this character?"

Talking about the Black Demon even made Li Zhentong a bit anxious.

"The Black Demon came to us proactively, I don't know why it wanted to kill Qi Qi. When I reached Qi Qi, the Black Demon had already acted and withdrawn."

If Tang Rao had known about what the Black Demon did, he would have fought it to the death.

"I don't blame you for Qi Qi's death. Anyone encountering the Black Demon wouldn't have a good outcome, myself included."

Tang Rao's capabilities, Li Zhentong knew them well. Whether Tang Rao could protect Li Qi Qi and to what degree, Li Zhentong should be aware.

"Father-in-law, even though Qi Qi is gone now, I will treat you well in the future."

In the future, things Li Qi Qi should have done, Tang Rao will do them for her.

As a woman who hadn't betrayed Tang Rao, it's what Tang Rao should do.

"Tang Rao, honestly, I'm getting on in years, as long as you youngsters live well, I'm content. That was Qi Qi's fate, as her father, I accept it, hoping she'll find a good family in her next life and live happily."

As Li Zhentong spoke, he became tearful.

"It's okay, even without Qi Qi, you still have me."

Besides comforting Li Zhentong this way, Tang Rao had nothing more to say.

"Go, I'll be fine after a bit of solitude. Go check on how the Kao Shan Sect is, whether it suits your liking. If it doesn't, I'll have them redo it."

Li Zhentong was already grieving, Tang Rao continuing to talk about Li Qi Qi would only make him drown in sorrow and unable to extricate himself.

"Alright, I'll go have a look. Once the house is built, let's move in together."

He could only say this much, and after hitting the point, Tang Rao left Li Zhentong feeling guilty, walking several laps around the construction site.

Every detail, personally overseen by Tang Rao, striving to prevent any quality issues.
