The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1672 - 1671: The Clam and the Snipe Compete

After being entrusted with an important task, the servant felt a burst of joy, the satisfaction of being trusted was indescribable.He quickly walked out of the garden, and at the moment he stepped out of the garden, he still felt like his feet were floating, as if everything was unreal.

Shu Yi waited for a few days without any news from Tang Rao in Shu Family, his heart was uneasy, couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but felt something was about to happen.

"Tang Rao, Tang Rao, you troublemaker, you just came to East Island and stirred up so many issues for me, how should I treat you, huh?"

Even while sighing, Shu Yi didn't immediately give up on Tang Rao.

That man who rested on his shoulder, calling him a brother with complete sincerity, it's such men that make Shu Yi believe.

That's also the kind of man Shu Yi decided he would be brothers with for a lifetime.

"Brother, have you forgotten about me? It's been so many days, not even a single message!"

Shu Yi sent Tang Rao a message through Illusion City during the daytime, and it was near evening when he finally received a reply.

"Sorry, my friend, I had a really nice nap today, almost forgot the time, did you need anything from me?"

Did you need anything from me?

How could Tang Rao casually say something like that?

"Of course, there's something! Do you know that the Yan Family received information saying Yan Shu from the Yan Family's collateral line was killed by an outsider, and they are currently looking for this outsider everywhere to seek justice for Yan Shu!"

Shu Yi almost yelled at Tang Rao to express his current emotions.

"I don't know, if someone comes to kill me, they can't be sending me a prior notice, right? Or should I wait for them and then inform you when they arrive?"

Whoosh!

Tang Rao was dead set on driving Shu Yi crazy, Shu Yi seemed to have realized that.

"Hey, do you know what the Yan Family signifies in East Island? Even though your own strength is impressive, compared to the Yan Family it's nothing. I really don't know how you can sleep soundly in such a critical situation?"

Shu Yi tried multiple times to contact Tang Rao through Illusion City and get his location details, but Tang Rao ignored it and didn't plan to expose his location to Shu Yi.

"I'm naturally carefree; I can't fret that they won't come. Isn't that right? At worst, I'll deal with it as it comes, there will always be a way out."

What if there's no way to deal with or hide from it, who will step up and help Tang Rao right away?

If remembered correctly, besides Shu Yi, there's no one Tang Rao knows in all of East Island.

"Brother, I know you're capable and a force to be reckoned with, but can we put aside our pride for now and focus on survival, then chase our pride afterwards?"

Shu Yi, in the late stage of the Upper God realm, felt like he was speaking nonsense with Tang Rao, who was in the mid-stage. Still, he wanted to talk nonsense for a bit to prevent Tang Rao from doing something rash.

"Sounds good, what if I get up now, and you come to protect me? I'm afraid if I go out, I might get killed immediately, then you won't be able to see me, slightly more handsome than you."

This time, instead of being pretentious, Tang Rao straightforwardly shared his location, letting Shu Yi know where he was.

"Wait for me; don't go anywhere until I arrive, then we'll talk."

Since Shu Yi said so, Tang Rao won't continue opposing him. Tang Rao happily chatted with the beauties at home while enjoying the Gu Worm massage therapy from Bei Lin; he didn't mind such a lifestyle at all.

When Shu Yi arrived, Bei Lin had just finished the massage for Tang Rao, and no trace of Gu Worms could be seen in the room.

"Bro, it's so good to see you; I've been too scared to leave the house, afraid of being killed. Now that I see you, it feels like my little life will be preserved too."

If Tang Rao wanted to make it more realistic, he could drop a few tears of gratitude.

But these tears were of no use to Shu Yi.

"Stop kidding; why don't I see a single trace of fear on your face? You seem to be enjoying yourself amid others' misfortune!"

Shu Yi guessed it right; Tang Rao was indeed enjoying the chaos.

The Yan Family was secretly searching for Tang Rao, but who would have thought he wasn't even hiding, just boldly staying at an inn, eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping well every day. How could he not be happy about this?

"What else is happening with the Yan Family? You might as well lay it all out; I think I can handle the excitement."

Tang Rao wouldn't believe Shu Yi sought him out just due to concerns for his safety.

"Nobody understands me better than brother Tang Rao."

Shu Yi sat on a stool beside the bed, picked up a teacup, poured the freshly brewed tea into it, and after just one sip, he fell in love with its taste.

"Reliable sources say the Yan Family is planning a big move. The Eldest and the Second Son of the Yan Family are having a heated conflict over gifts, with the Eldest presenting the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw; the Second is rumored to be plotting something due to this. These days, people from both factions are in a panic, and I'm worried those of us invited to Old Man Yan's birthday banquet might be caught in it, so I came to ask your opinion."

In principle, such a secret should not be disclosed to Tang Rao, but Shu Yi figured they're tied in this situation like grasshoppers on a rope. If Tang Rao gets into trouble, it's bad for Shu Yi, and if Shu Yi falls through, Tang Rao loses a valuable ally. But if they two join forces, it's a different story.

"What is the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw anyway? Is it something delicious or something fun?"

Thud!

Shu Yi really felt like kneeling before Tang Rao.

The Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw, the coveted item dreamt of by those in the late Upper God stages, yet Tang Rao looked clueless, asking if it was something to eat or something to play with. Was this really not a joke for Shu Yi?

"The Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw originates from the Beast Sea between North Island and West Island. As its name implies, it's the claw of a serpent, which is a creature just a step away from transforming into a dragon; imagine the power of its claws. Not to mention its importance, just its rarity makes everyone envious."

Shu Yi did his best to explain the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw to Tang Rao simply. Once Tang Rao heard how rare it was, he started contemplating getting his hands on it.

"So, you told me all this because you want me to steal the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Claw for myself?"

Pfft!

"I was asking if you were the Second Son of Yan Family, what gift would you prepare to win against the Eldest?"
