Chapter 1774 - 1773: Sworn Brotherhood

"Do you think these people have a problem with their heads like you?"

Tang Rao retorted back at Rao Linger unceremoniously.

"I think you're the one with a problem in your head. Don't think just because you helped me earlier, you can provoke me and insult me at will. What kind of person do you take me for?"

The reason she called out Tang Rao's name earlier was out of desperation, but it doesn't mean she's fixated on Tang Rao. If it were someone else witnessing a weak woman being bullied by a group, they'd probably step in to help, right?

"I take you for a woman, what else could I take you for?"

Can't exactly say she doesn't consider Rao Linger a person, right?

Just like that?

Rao Linger was evidently dissatisfied with Tang Rao's answer. She was angry now, and no matter how Tang Rao replied, it wouldn't be the answer she wanted.

"Well, I really thank you then, but I don't need you here anymore, you can leave."

Rao Linger was impulsive, and with her temper, she might offend someone without even realizing it.

Besides, last time she agreed to let Tang Rao leave without thinking, and now she's again letting him leave because of not thinking.

Like just now, when Tang Rao said Rao Linger had a problem with her head, he wasn't wrong at all.

"No, I can't leave now. If I leave now, how will I go back to North Island? You promised you'd let your father send me back to North Island, and I saved your life just now. You wouldn't forget so quickly, wouldn't break your promise, would you?"

Clearly, Tang Rao wasn't someone who would take a loss easily; someone had promised to send him off, and now they want him to go on his own? No way.

Rao Linger should have been happy. Tang Rao was the one who approached Rao Linger, saying he wouldn't leave; the condition was he wouldn't mention the reason for staying, hoping Rao Linger would send him off sooner.

"Can't I regret it? I don't want to send you away anymore!"

Wasn't it about wanting to keep Tang Rao around, wanting to see him anytime? They should figure out a way to keep Tang Rao, after all, if someone's going to be unhappy, it might as well be Tang Rao.

Not everyone is that generous, so what if Rao Linger is selfish this time?

"You women don't keep your word, you said you'd send me!"

Counting the time, Family Head Liu must have returned to North Island by now. He had no idea how to open the teleportation array back home, and even if he sneaked to the teleportation array, he couldn't open the array and leave.

"A lot of what we women say doesn't count. You just have to trust us. What else can I do?"

Was this the reason for Rao Linger's change of heart?

Just because she's a woman, she can change her mind as she pleases?

"Women! You're really capricious, even more shameless than me."

Tang Rao had encountered it, so what could he do?

"Anyway, I don't care. You said you'd come back with me, and I took it seriously. If my dad doesn't see you, you can deal with the consequences yourself!"

Rao Linger applied both soft and hard tactics; she couldn't believe that even after pushing this hard, Tang Rao still wouldn't comply.

"You didn't say I should come back with you. I need to find your dad and have him send me directly. Who doesn't have a few good friends, right?"

Tang Rao had given the old man some donuts before, and the relationship was strong enough, surely they wouldn't deny him the use of the teleportation array, right?

"Who's your good friend? My dad doesn't pay attention to just anyone; don't overestimate your importance!"

Rao Linger was confident that as long as she said the word, her dad would surely listen to her, and Tang Rao would want to leave Central Island? Not unless her dad quits being the Family Head of Central Island.

"I'm just speaking facts, why can't you understand?"

Rao Linger's thinking was fixed on this point; knowing her dad, unless it rains red from the sky, he wouldn't make friends with Tang Rao.

"I'm listening, but I just find it amusing."

Rao Linger was sure Tang Rao would have to come back with her since he still needed a favor from her. People just walked ahead, looking even more arrogant than Tang Rao.

The Rao Family.

The old man waited anxiously at the door. Rao Linger was supposed to be back first, but due to some accident, the old man had returned long ago while Rao Linger just reached the doorstep.

"Ling Er, do you know where Tang Rao went? Did you see him?"

If it weren't that only Tang Rao had donuts, the old man wouldn't even pay attention to Tang Rao, let alone specially inform her about her missing companion.

"You're not worried at all that your daughter hasn't come back, yet you're worried about outsiders."

Rao Linger didn't say it directly, but her jealousy was evident.

The old man was feeling embarrassed. He was just too anxious earlier and hadn't sorted out his emotions, which made Rao Linger angry. If he had another chance, he'd definitely check his expression in the mirror first before talking to his daughter, who had somehow turned sensitive.

"You've wronged me as a father here; you said he was important, we must not let him escape, and that's why I paid high attention. I did this in concern that if you know your little companion is missing, you'd cause trouble for me!"

He was the dad, whatever he said was right, and Rao Linger was momentarily at a loss on how to rebut this old fox.

"Old man, were you looking for me? I was tying my shoelaces just now, I haven't left, really."

Tang Rao's Divine Sense was so broad, it scared even himself.

From the moment he noticed the old man waiting at the door for their return, Tang Rao deliberately slowed his pace, arriving a few minutes after Rao Linger, just to see how useful those donuts were with the old man.

"Good, you're here. Wait, Ling Er, you went to attend the Lin Family banquet, I remember when you left, Tang Rao was still at home, how did he end up with you so quickly?"

The old man wouldn't believe Tang Rao had already gotten close to Rao Linger so quickly.

"I haven't seen much of the world, I wanted to know what your Central Island people's banquet is like, so I tagged along."

Tang Rao explained his reasoning thoroughly; what more could the old man say when the guy put it that way?

"Then how did you come back together, and what's up with your face, Ling Er?"

The old man asked so many questions in one breath that Rao Linger didn't know which one to answer first.

"Dad, really? Lin Zhen embarrassed those women in front of so many people, and you didn't know, and even your daughter got hit, and you were unaware?"

Rao Linger's situation was really pitiful.

She's wondering whether she's got a fake dad.
