Liu Lushan looked at Soros with some surprise. This man from Bingzhou knows my elder brother?
"You are?" Liu Lushan asked.
"Hehe, hello, hello, I am Soros. I'm friends with Tang Rao and also friends with the nation of the Flame Country. I like this country. Of course, actually, I also really like your elder brother..." Soros said with a smile.
Like my elder brother...
Liu Lushan had a look of exasperation, you people from Bingzhou really are open-minded.
"By the way, Xiao Liu, do you know where your brother has been playing around lately?" Soros asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu...
Liu Lushan rolled his eyes. I'm already in my forties and fifties; you're calling me Xiao Liu?
But let it be, you people from Bingzhou can speak the language of the Flame Country, which is already pretty good. I won't expect you to get all these titles right.
Liu Lushan did not realize that for Soros, calling him Xiao Liu was a perfectly normal title, because Soros was already over a hundred and fifty years old. It's just that as a member of the Blood Clan, he looked young.
"I do not know where my elder brother is," Liu Lushan shook his head. If I did, that would be great; I could go find him.
After all, it's been decades since we last met.
"Then you can definitely contact him, right?" Soros asked.
"Yes." Liu Lushan nodded.
"Make a phone call," Tang Rao looked at Liu Lushan and said directly. This Liu Tianya is probably not simple, because just a moment ago, Tang Rao saw admiration in Soros's eyes.
Being able to gain Soros's admiration, no ordinary person could do so.
"Okay." Liu Lushan nodded, he too wanted to know some news about his elder brother.
Liu Lushan used speakerphone, and the call was quickly connected.
"Tang Rao, hello." Liu Tianya's voice came through, looking directly for Tang Rao.
Tang Rao raised his eyebrows slightly; he had never heard this voice before, and clearly, he had never met this person.
Being able to identify him directly, either this person has a vast surveillance network that can see his movements, or, this person is very smart and good at inferring.
"You better honestly confess. How many people do you have at home, how many acres of land, how many old yellow cattle..." Tang Rao grinned and rather nonsensically said this.
Of course, neither Liu Lushan nor Soros were fools; they both understood what Tang Rao meant by his words.
Saying Liu Lushan was in his hands was to make Liu Tianya take a stand, to see whether he was a friend or foe; asking about how many people and old yellow cattle at home was to make Liu Tianya reveal his identity.
"I'm drinking with the Bloodthirsty Demon," Liu Tianya said indifferently.
"Wow..." Tang Rao rolled his eyes and cursed directly.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I've got chicks to pursue," Tang Rao added. Knowing that Liu Tianya was familiar with the Bloodthirsty Demon, and even drinking with him, it was clear that the two had an unusual relationship.
As for what the relationship was, Tang Rao couldn't be bothered to ask over the phone. He would go directly to Liu Tianya or ask the Bloodthirsty Demon if he left.
"Alright, see you later," Liu Tianya finished speaking and hung up the phone.
As for Liu Lushan and Soros, they didn't even get a word in edgewise.
Also, Liu Tianya's phrase "see you later" was quite annoying; it was clear that he only wanted to see Tang Rao. As for everyone else, he obviously didn't want to.
Given Liu Lushan's and Soros's understanding of Liu Tianya, he always meant what he said, so it would be better not to think about sneaking to see him.
"Alright, goodbye," Tang Rao didn't waste words either. He waved at Liu Lushan, then headed straight for the girls' dormitory building.
At this time, Jiang Langyue's complexion had already returned to normal, and the surrounding medical personnel had also started to leave.
Since she was alright, there was no need for them to stay.
It would be better to go and treat other injured patients, several policemen were seriously injured.
"Is everything all right now?" Tang Rao looked at Jiang Langhuan and asked softly.
"It's all right, thank you, Tang Rao. You saved us again…" Jiang Langhuan said, biting her lip.
Her complexion, however, was not the best at the moment.
She didn't understand why Lu Xin had become like that. Previously... he had been perfectly fine.
Was it because of her engagement to Tang Rao?
Was it because of that, he felt humiliated and, hence, harbored such intense hatred? She couldn't figure out why someone could change so drastically in such a short span of time.
"Don't thank me. He's always hated me. But I do owe you an apology, it's not easy to take a liking to a man, only for him to kick the bucket," Tang Rao said with a shrug.
Although he said so, there was no hint of apology in his tone.
"Stop mocking me," Jiang Langhuan shook her head, feeling a heavy blockage in her heart.
"Alright, now that everything is fine, I'll take my leave first," Tang Rao said, smacking his lips, since the engagement with Jiang Langhuan was called off, perhaps, there won't be much interaction between them in the future.
Jiang Langhuan watched Tang Rao turn around, watched him step away, and hastily stretched out her hand, but until Tang Rao was far away, she couldn't utter a word.
She knew that it was very likely that she had just missed her chance with Tang Rao.
Just like that, worlds apart, roads long and endless...
But, what could she do?
...
When she returned to the plantation, it was already deep into the night.
Of course, for Tang Rao, whether it's deep into the night or not, it's all the same; cultivators can go days without sleep and still be perfectly ok.
Just at the entrance of the courtyard, Tang Rao heard the clinking sound of wine glasses.
"Tang Rao, come in quick, I've got someone to introduce to you!" The thunderous voice of the Bloodthirsty Demon echoed.
Tang Rao touched his nose; obviously, the person Bloodthirsty Demon was about to introduce must be Liu Tianya.
He wasn't sure what kind of background Liu Tianya had.
Stepping into the courtyard, Tang Rao saw two people sitting across each other at the stone table in the yard, one was the bald Bloodthirsty Demon, the other was the casually elegant and indifferent Liu Tianya in long black robes.
Although Liu Tianya was Liu Lushan's elder brother, he appeared much younger than Liu Lushan, not showing his fifty-odd years of age at all.
Liu Tianya was quite lean, resembling an old-time scholar, the only difference was that instead of holding scrolls, there was a sword at his waist.
"Yo, this must be Liu Tianya. Pleased to meet you!" Tang Rao said with a smile as he walked over.
"Why didn't you say you were coming? I would've come back earlier to welcome you. Look at the mess now, having my little brother entertain you, I've really dropped the ball," Tang Rao continued.
Bloodthirsty Demon: "..."
Liu Tianya: "??"
Little brother? What little brother? The Bloodthirsty Demon is Tang Rao's little brother?
"Little brother, move over and give your big bro a seat, or go fetch me a stool," Tang Rao shouted at the Bloodthirsty Demon.
The Bloodthirsty Demon felt like he was about to burst with the urge to fight Tang Rao. Can't you give me some face in front of others?
Going on about 'little brother' this and 'little brother' that, I'm the Bloodthirsty Demon, the highest existence among the outer realm's frenzied demons!
"What are you spacing out for? Not obeying my orders now, are we? Tsk tsk tsk, the Heavens are watching!" Tang Rao pointed upwards as he spoke.
Bloodthirsty Demon: "...."
In the end, the Bloodthirsty Demon succumbed and stood up to get a stool for Tang Rao.
However, the moment he stood up, Tang Rao took his seat, propped up his legs, and relaxed like he didn't have a care in the world.
