Tang Rao introduced everyone to each other; after all, they would be cultivating together, and it was necessary to become acquainted.
"Tang Rao, is this the Nine-Headed King Hall?" Fang Yanran asked, visiting this place for the first time.
She had always heard her father mention it, saying it was a sacred site, a place all cultivators aspire to reach.
She never expected to come here under these circumstances.
"Yes, this is indeed the Nine-Headed King Hall. It could be said that this is the place where cultivators on Blue Star have the highest level of cultivation," Tang Rao explained.
Everyone looked at Tang Rao, the place where cultivators had the highest level of cultivation.
It was uncertain how strong it actually was; surely Tang Rao wasn't just a minor character.
"However, that's all it was, I've already blown it up. With my current strength, I could take this place down several times," Tang Rao said.
Everyone was dumbfounded. How could you blow up everything everywhere...
"Speaking of which, Tang Rao, if you've already blown up the strongest place on Blue Star, then... what do you need us for?" Li Yuze asked.
"Yeah, you're already invincible, boss. Don't tell me you still need to practice cultivation, preparing to face an alien invasion," Liu Sanxing muttered.
Tang Rao looked at Liu Sanxing with a serious expression.
Seeing Tang Rao's gaze, the expressions of everyone changed.
Damn, don't tell us you're really going to fight aliens; that's unreliable.
"Tang Rao, I think your schizophrenia is getting more severe. I'm telling you, this is a sickness, and it needs treatment," Li Yuze said seriously.
"What schizophrenia? Are you guys sick... I'm telling you, in two years, the space barrier covering Blue Star will shatter, and when the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains invade, if none of you reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, this place will be doomed in minutes. So, don't just stand around joking, take this seriously. The future of Blue Star rests on you," Tang Rao spoke loudly.
Everyone was dumbfounded. It seems... they had never seen Tang Rao so serious.
"Tang Rao, is... is this... you're not actually serious, right?" Li Yuze stuttered. As soldiers, they weren't afraid of any enemy, but if you're talking about aliens, that's too far-fetched. How would you even fight aliens?
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Tang Rao looked at Li Yuze.
"But, this thing with the aliens, isn't it a bit too implausible?" Li Yuze muttered.
"What's implausible about it? Blue Star is already located within the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, it's only that it was hidden by powerful beings using a space barrier, and that's why others couldn't find it here. I'm telling you, after two years when the space barrier breaks down, this place will inevitably become a battlefield," Tang Rao explained.
"But... even if what you're saying is true, that thing about the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, they surely won't just start war without reason. After all, peace is the solid principle," Liu Sanxing muttered.
"Peace? You're going to talk about peace with the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains?" Tang Rao rolled his eyes, "Forget it, explaining more to you now won't make you understand or believe. Anyway, just cultivate diligently for these two years, when the time comes, you'll naturally believe."
Tang Rao didn't want to explain further; no matter how much he explained, it would still seem like a story to them.
Moreover, this group's cohesion wasn't strong.
Especially Liu Sanxing, Hu Ge, Chao Xia, and Tong Chiyun, these four had shallow relations. Even with Li Yuze and Bai Lian, he couldn't fully trust.
For now, he only felt at ease with Fang Yanran because he had sworn an oath to Heavenly Dao with her, and didn't need to fear her betrayal.
Some precautions still needed to be taken.
Don't let it be that after he had trained them, they would end up stabbing him in the back.
These kinds of incidents were all too common in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.
"Alright, that's enough for now, let's go." Tang Rao called over the Dark Demon Leopard, though it was severely injured, a bit of healing would make it fit for flying.
"Ah? We're leaving already? I wanted to check out the scenery. It's my first time here!" Fang Yanran said.
Tang Rao: "..."
You still think this is some sort of tour group, huh? Want me to guide you guys to buy some souvenirs too?!
...
When Tang Rao arrived at Sui City, it was just in time for dinner, and Lei Li and Bai Xiaotong had also arrived.
In the villa, a big group of people gathered, with Mrs. Chen being the busiest, as there were many dishes to prepare.
Of course, today was just to let these people familiarize themselves with the place. After dinner, Tang Rao planned to send them off, having already selected a location not far from Sui City, where his Spiritual Plant Garden was.
The Spiritual Plant Garden was now basically taking shape, with Jiang Nuanqiu, Sun Xuefei, and Tian Tian as the researchers.
Assigning these people to the Spiritual Plant Garden meant he could spare hiring others for security; plus, the garden could provide them with potent medicinal support, killing two birds with one stone.
"Come on, everyone, don't be shy, dig in. It's rare for us to have so many people at home, really lively," Bai Yushu greeted everyone with a smile.
Sometimes, she was not used to it being too quiet.
Perhaps it was because of her age, she always liked lively atmospheres.
Everyone agreed, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Shangguan Ling huddled next to Tang Rao, resting her head and looking at the table full of people, seemingly a bit unhappy.
"Little girl, eat your food, what's with you?" Tang Rao patted Shangguan Ling's head and said.
Shangguan Ling rolled her eyes at Tang Rao, then stretched out her hands and started counting: "Bai Lian, Fang Yanran, Lei Li, Tong Chiyun, Wu Qing, out of these five people, who do you like the most?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere got a bit quiet, everyone turned their gaze towards Tang Rao and Shangguan Ling.
"Xiao Ling, why are you asking such random questions." Jiang Hanshuang frowned and said.
"Mommy, don't get agitated, I'm just asking Tang Rao. Don't worry, I'll definitely snatch him for you, even that little flirt Jiang Nuanqiu won't stand a chance," Shangguan Ling said.
Everyone: "..."
"Tang Rao, come on, I'm waiting," Shangguan Ling said.
"My favorite? Of course, it's my mom," Tang Rao pointed at Bai Yushu, then proceeded to place a piece of braised pork on her plate.
Everyone praised Tang Rao's quick-thinking. Saying he liked anyone else would have been inappropriate, Bai Yushu might be the only solution in such a situation.
As for Shangguan Ling, she looked furious.
"Tang Rao, I can't believe you are like this, having an Oedipus complex, ah! I can't take it!" Shangguan Ling exclaimed.
"Enough already, keep blabbing nonsense, and I'll send you two to the Seventy-two Domains," Tang Rao said.
"F*ck, you're so vicious!"
"Yes, I am that vicious, what about it?"
"I was wrong to ever call you dad, Tang Rao you scumbag, I despise you."
"Go on, despise me all you want, I don't mind."
