The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1314 - 1313: Suitors

"Just leave this kid here."With the word 'leave', Hua Wuque perfectly described Tang Rao as an errand boy.

"Leave me here? Am I going to stay here for a long time?"

Tang Rao knew about the situation at the Kao Shan Sect. It was precisely because he had been a hands-off shopkeeper that there was an internal rebellion today. Tang Rao originally planned to stay at the Kao Shan Sect during this period, but just as he made up his mind, someone disrupted his plan.

"Senior brother, haven't you long liked Tang Rao's Zijing City? It's been so long since you've been out of the mountain, why not go out and have a look?"

Leave the mountain?

Hua Wuque had never thought about it.

Ever since the sect disbanded, Hua Wuque had never gone out again.

"Go out? I haven't been out for a long time."

When Hua Wuque talked about going out, he sighed deeply.

"Senior brother, things are different now from outside. If possible, I hope you can go out and see."

The biggest difference between Granny Hua and Hua Wuque is that, although she became more reclusive later, at least she lived in the Southern City, where she could see people every day, while Hua Wuque lived in this deserted place where he couldn't even see a shadow of a person, and he stayed there for several years.

"Then I'll live in Zijing City."

What?

For someone like Hua Wuque who generally doesn't go out, he actually willingly decided to go out just to live in Tang Rao's new house.

Granny Hua was just testing the waters, but she didn't expect it to actually work.

"Tang Rao, if senior brother lives in Zijing City, you can rest assured, generally no one will dare to come and cause trouble."

This was Granny Hua's primary goal.

Getting Hua Wuque to go out, while teaching Tang Rao, could also protect Tang Rao. Where else could you find such a good opportunity nowadays?

"I was wondering why junior sister invited me here. Turns out she had already made a plan to use me, a senior brother, for the sake of her own disciple."

Hua Wuque saw through Granny Hua's intentions but did not backtrack and refuse again.

"Senior brother and junior sister shouldn't fuss over these things. My disciple is your disciple; there's no distinction between us."

Tang Rao was quite enlightened today.

The person who was always ready to fight, kill, or poison Tang Rao was surprisingly loyal and affectionate toward her senior brother. It was indeed rare.

Although Tang Rao didn't say anything, he thought to himself, these people are impressive. When it comes to disciples, it's my disciple being your disciple. If it were about husbands and wives, could they also not make any distinction?

Riding on the clouds and mist, he returned to Zijing City, and it was already evening.

He just didn't expect to find Xiao Yue blocking the door as soon as he returned.

It seemed Xiao Yue was not in a good mood.

"Xiao Yue, not sleeping yet?"

It wasn't Xiao Yue's turn to be on duty today, yet she was still waiting at the door. According to Tang Rao's understanding of women, this indicated she had something on her mind.

"I can't sleep, boss. You're only back now."

Even upon seeing Tang Rao, Xiao Yue still appeared listless.

"Girls overthink things easily. Get some rest, no matter how big the issue, it can wait until tomorrow."

Had Tang Rao not said this, it would have been fine, but once he said it, Xiao Yue couldn't hold back the pent-up sadness in her heart.

"Boss, I..."

Xiao Yue wanted to share what was on her mind with Tang Rao, but unfortunately, just as she was about to speak, she swallowed it back down.

"You, what do you want to say?"

Tang Rao was curious about what could confuse the normally tough Xiao Yue.

"Geng Bucuo says he likes me."

As soon as Xiao Yue said it, she lowered her head.

"Isn't that a good thing? He likes you and didn't hide it, he told you right away."

When it came to Xiao Yue, Tang Rao was admittedly a bit slow on the uptake.

"Do you really think it's good, boss?"

After asking, Xiao Yue regretted her impulsiveness.

"I think that Geng Bucuo kid is pretty good, you two are a good match."

Did Tang Rao's brain get knocked today? No, it's more like it got filled up with too much filler, which made it a bit misshapen and not very useful.

"Boss, I'll rest first. You guys should get some rest early too."

With that, Xiao Yue leaped up and left the city gate.

"This girl's foundation is pretty solid, but that's not the point."

Granny Hua paused for a moment.

"If that's not the point, then what is?"

Now Tang Rao's curiosity was piqued.

"Don't you see by now that this girl likes you?"

Even Granny Hua could tell. Yet, for someone considered adept in romance, Tang Rao couldn't even see this much.

"No way, if you said anyone else liked me, I'd believe you, but Xiao Yue likes me?"

Perhaps his brain had a problem, or maybe he was provoked by Geng Bucuo.

"I, as an old woman, dare to guarantee that the young girl has genuine feelings for you."

Now Tang Rao believed it.

Whether they were genuine feelings or just superficial ones, Tang Rao really couldn't handle it.

The thought of someone liking him while his bro Geng Bucuo also liked that person gave him a migraine.

"Granny Hua, please just let this matter drop, let's pretend nothing happened, I'm begging you."

Tang Rao pleaded time and again, and only then did Granny Hua relent and nod.

Like Tang Rao, Xiao Yue didn't close her eyes all night after returning to her room.

Though those who practiced martial arts didn't need to sleep, the difference between being able to not sleep and being unable to sleep is significant.

"Is the boss intentionally playing dumb, saying such things? Does he truly want me to be with Geng Bucuo, or was he just being polite in front of others?"

Just these two questions had Xiao Yue spinning in circles.

"The boss must not know I like him, that's why he said those things to me, right?"

She thought up various reasons to comfort herself, to make excuses.

Yes, Tang Rao must not know about this, that's why he said Xiao Yue and Geng Bucuo were a good match. If he knew, would he change his attitude towards Xiao Yue and Geng Bucuo?

Then maybe tomorrow if she confesses to Tang Rao, his attitude will change?

It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Yue managed to wait, her complexion looking much worse than the day before.

"Xiao Yue, did you not rest well yesterday? Why do you look so pale?"

Since confessing his feelings to Xiao Yue, Geng Bucuo had been constantly trying to please her. This morning, he was already doting on her.

"No."

Xiao Yue avoided Geng Bucuo as much as possible.

"Xiao Yue, if there's anything you need done, why not let me do it for you? You rest first, I'll finish it quickly."

Geng Bucuo was in a great mood, looking at Xiao Yue as if she were already his possession.

"I can handle it myself."

Geng Bucuo was just about to take the Divine Artifact from Xiao Yue's hands, but when Xiao Yue blocked it, the arrowhead almost pierced Geng Bucuo's chest. He felt no fear afterward and continued to fawn over Xiao Yue.

"Let me do it. This heavy work is for men, I'll handle it."

The more he was like this, the more Xiao Yue wanted to escape.

With more people looking their way, Xiao Yue was already becoming exasperated with Geng Bucuo.
