The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1156 - 1155: Borrowing a Book

"I'm fine, I'm strong."Tang Rao couldn't stop smiling.

With several wives who cared for him like this, he'd laugh even in his sleep.

"You all have to be careful over there too. Once I find a way back, I'll bring you all to the Divine Realm."

Tang Rao exchanged tearful glances with a few girls before finally closing the Illusion City.

Right, find Liu Tao.

This was Tang Rao's most urgent matter.

Early the next morning, Tang Rao went to the Kao Shan Shop. Zhang Wang, as if he had a premonition, was just about to check if Tang Rao had returned when Tang Rao appeared at the door.

"Boss, I knew you would come, hurry in and take a seat."

Zhang Wang had prepared a spacious office for Tang Rao, filled with a dense atmosphere of Immortal Energy, an excellent place for cultivation.

"This place is nice, it must have cost a lot, right?"

Tang Rao said to Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang's kindness to Tang Rao was always remembered in Tang Rao's heart.

"It didn't cost much. Everything in the Kao Shan Shop belongs to you, Boss, why be so polite with me?"

Zhang Wang's approach eased some of Tang Rao's concerns.

In employing people, the kind required is naturally the one loyal to Tang Rao, who doesn't just flatter, and even the flattery is something Tang Rao considers important.

"Thank you, brother."

Only a few have been addressed as brother by Tang Rao, one being Yan Wei, and a few others in the Kao Shan Sect.

"Boss, don't say that. My shop hasn't thrived for so many years; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what kind of situation I'd be in now."

He's a grateful person; indeed, if Tang Rao hadn't given him a hand, Zhang Wang wouldn't have made a mark in the Divine Realm Commerce.

Now everyone knows Zhang Wang has good goods, knows he has supplies, and just for the Elixir Pills alone, countless people want to cozy up to him.

"We all meet our needs, previously it was business, now it's friendship."

Tang Rao distinguished business from friendship clearly: business is business, brothers are brothers.

"Zhang Wang, has anyone looked for me these days?"

After the auction, Zhang Wang introduced Tang Rao to others, and once they knew Tang Rao was the main shopkeeper, they certainly wanted to find him and build a good relationship.

"Yes, but they all had crooked intentions, wanting shady ways to obtain Elixir Pills, and I turned them all away. Oh, Liu Tao came by, I see you two are close, but I couldn't find you, so I told Liu Tao to wait for you at the Kao Shan Shop, and I'd pass the message."

Because Tang Rao had a good impression of Liu Tao, Zhang Wang also liked Liu Tao much more than others.

"Liu Tao, where does his family live?"

Tang Rao didn't care if others sought him out, but Liu Tao was the one he followed closely.

"His family? Let me think."

Zhang Wang pondered, "It's also in Tingzhou, quite close to the Li Family."

Zhang Wang thought for a while before recalling.

"Also in Tingzhou? That makes it convenient."

In Tingzhou, Tang Rao could ask around casually to find out where Liu Tao's house was.

"But I've heard Liu Tao's family isn't easy to get along with, Boss, you should be more accommodating when you go."

These words weren't really Zhang Wang's to say, as speaking ill of others is terribly unethical.

"Alright, I will."

In his life, Tang Rao hadn't encountered many people who could argue better than him, and he wanted to see just how difficult that family could be.

Returning to Tingzhou, with great differences from West Island—where West Island was filled with masters, and Tingzhou was constantly tumultuous.

These harmless little disputes didn't matter much to him.

"Brother, can I ask you something, do you know Liu Tao from the Liu family in Tingzhou?"

Returning to Tingzhou, Tang Rao regretted not finding out Liu Tao's exact address from Zhang Wang.

"See the house with the colorful clouds hanging from the sky? That's the one."

The man spoke politely, asking Tang Rao twice if he saw it, confirming that Tang Rao really did, before returning to his own business.

"I've never seen a home with such flashy clouds in the sky; the Liu family is quite showy."

Tang Rao muttered to himself.

He summoned the Jiuding Snow Beast, reported the direction to it, and the Jiuding Snow Beast dashed toward the colorful clouds.

"Hello, I'm here to see Liu Tao."

Tang Rao respectfully addressed the gatekeeper.

The last time at Wen Lei's, because of his shabby clothes, he got turned away, but today, even in the same attire, the guard didn't trouble him, instead said, "Please wait, I'll go announce."

When Liu Tao heard that Tang Rao personally came, he promptly went to the entrance without a second thought.

"Manager Tang, you've arrived!"

Liu Tao greeted Tang Rao with great respect, catching him pleasantly off guard.

"I heard from Zhang Wang you came to the shop looking for me."

Tang Rao got straight to the point, they both actually found guessing games rather tiring.

"Yes, there's news about what you asked last time."

Liu Tao had found the connection in the books just these past few days.

"News, what do you mean?"

Standing at the door, he hadn't even gone inside before starting the discussion with Liu Tao.

The guard stared at the two in disbelief; they didn't know when the Young Master had made such a scruffy friend.

This wasn't entirely Tang Rao's fault, as he had been restless over the matter, not getting a good night's sleep the day before.

"Manager Tang, please come inside, let's speak in private."

Liu Tao led Tang Rao to his place, instructed the servants to brew tea, and after they left, unhurriedly said to Tang Rao, "Manager Tang, this is it, after returning home I found in our family's hidden library, this world indeed has a place called Blue Star, but Blue Star is too small, going there isn't easy; it requires stargazing."

About stargazing, this mystical thing, Tang Rao didn't understand at all; he couldn't even recognize the Big Dipper completely. Sometimes he wanted to ask Jixing what stargazing really meant.

"But what kind of star formation is a sign of going back?"

This question stumped Liu Tao; he had only read about it in books, not knowing what star formations were either. The last accidental trip to Blue Star was purely luck.

In the whole Divine Realm, fewer than ten people had been to Blue Star, none knowing the name of the place they'd been to.

After their adventures ended, they'd return to the Divine Realm, living their ordinary lives.

As for the bountiful Blue Star, they could never locate it again; if not for Tang Rao's decoding, they'd possibly never find it in a lifetime.

"I don't know either, this book from our Liu family is already neglected, why don't you take it first for a look and then return it?"

The Liu family's lifetime pursuit was all about power struggles, rarely finding peace to read books or practice calligraphy.

"Sure, I just wanted to go back to study it. Having me look at this now, I can't remember much in a short time."
