Leng Pengfei threw the chicken bone into the pond and said after a while, "Of course, when you were poisoning, I also helped you block the others' view."
If Tang Rao weren't such an interesting person, Leng Pengfei wouldn't have intervened so easily.
"You're a good brother, Tang Rao recognizes this. In the future, if you need my help, just ask."
However, Tang Rao is just a lower god, and compared to Leng Pengfei, still has a long way to go. Saying to let soone just ask if they need help is purely boastful talk.
"Everyone gather round, all the servants who attended today's banquet, co over now."
Tang Rao and Leng Pengfei barely exchanged a few words before a voice from beyond reached Tang Rao's ears. He didn't originally want to go, but if he didn't, it would surely trace back to Tang Rao. His body shivered, his legs trembled, and he went anyway.
"Looks like I'll have to find you next ti, or co to the Leng Family to find , and just ntion my na."
Leng Pengfei handed Tang Rao a Jade Scroll, the entire scroll was crystal clear, and Tang Rao could feel a wave of Soul Power inside.
"Take good care of this Jade Scroll, it might save your life one day."
Leng Pengfei didn't say how to use the Jade Scroll; he also hoped that Tang Rao would never have to use it in his lifeti.
Leng Pengfei disappeared just like that, and it was a pity that even as a lower god, he still thought there was no difference between a lower god and an Immortal Emperor.
In the banquet hall, Tang Rao was called to the main hall, where more than three hundred others were standing, all in front of Tang Rao.
Li Zhentong stood atop the hall, his eyes like radar, scanning everyone below, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
Those people wished they could lower their heads into their pants. Li Zhentong, already in a bad temper, shouted, "Lift your heads up."
Poof.
All those standing there, including Tang Rao, couldn't help but spit out fresh blood.
That shout was truly earth-shattering.
Li Zhentong was finally able to see the faces of those standing below.
"Who did this today, a guest? Or you?"
Whether it was a guest or one of those standing below, soone had to take the fall, to give an explanation to all the guests, right?
"Was it you?"
Li Zhentong randomly picked one person out of over three hundred.
The person chosen had shifty eyes and a small stature, so it was no wonder he was the first to be chosen.
"Family Head, have rcy, when the incident happened, I was in the kitchen tending the fire, and several people in the kitchen can vouch for . You can ask if you don't believe ."
The man was frightened out of his wits. It wasn't his fault he looked ugly, you can't just label him a murderer because of his looks.
"Then was it you?"
Li Zhentong chose another, and ended up picking a person fixing table legs, who hadn't even stepped into the banquet venue.
"Who exactly was it? Since we can't find out, you all might as well die."
Li Zhentong was about to kill them with the doors closed.
Tang Rao sighed, if Li Zhentong really went on a killing spree, Tang Rao would be included.
"Family Head, I've thought of soone, perhaps we could investigate him."
Tang Rao had an epiphany and spoke up.
Telling a lie is better than being killed.
"I was temporarily transferred here today. Our island's manager was chatting with the deceased manager, and I heard our manager telling that manager to keep things clean and to get rid of soone nad Leng Pengfei as soon as possible."
The manager dared to kick Tang Rao's bed and was fierce towards him. These were all lessons Tang Rao gave him, let's see who dares next ti.
"Leng Pengfei?"
Li Zhentong was taken aback, was this really the case?
Luckily Leng Pengfei was fine.
"When did you co here, and how long have you been working?"
With soone providing clues, Li Zhentong felt at ease, and his mood improved.
"I ca the day before yesterday, only worked for two days, and was temporarily called to help today."
Tang Rao's tone was calm, his eyes didn't dodge, his mouth didn't twitch, his ears didn't move, his legs didn't shake; it seed like he wasn't lying.
"Hmm, bring in the manager."
Li Zhentong didn't believe soone who just arrived in the Divine Realm could know Leng Pengfei.
Ice Fruit!
Tang Rao secretly snapped his fingers in triumph, not afraid of Li Zhentong disbelieving, just afraid his acting wasn't good enough.
When the manager was brought in, soone reported to Li Zhentong: "Family Head, when I went to find this manager, he was planning to assassinate the young lady, fortunately, the young lady left first!"
The person speaking was from Li Zhentong's side, and Li Zhentong would believe his words.
Upon hearing soone wanted to kill Li Qi Qi, Li Zhentong couldn't understand. Even if he didn't like Li Qi Qi, he only gave her a little poison, allowing her to survive on the small island, since there's always so affection among family. Li Zhentong never intended for Li Qi Qi to die, so why would the manager want to kill his master?
"Wanting to kill the second young master of the Leng Family, and even my daughter, how bold of you."
Everyone knew this was a sign of Leng Pengfei's anger, and just by looking at Li Zhentong's eyes, it was clear he intended to kill.
The manager was dumbfounded. If an unexpected factor hadn't shown up, he would have already succeeded.
The latter incident the manager could admit to, but the earlier part he had no idea what it was about.
He clearly felt soone was framing him.
"Family Head, what's this about the Leng Family's second young master? I was on the young lady's island, really don't know what happened."
No matter how much the manager pleaded, it was useless, Li Zhentong was already acting against the manager.
A scene like tearing a ghost apart with bare hands in a war movie, Tang Rao had seen, and in the Land of Immortals tearing apart immortal beasts and people, Tang Rao had also seen. But tearing a person evenly into pieces, this was the first ti Tang Rao saw it.
A wave of blood filled the entire area.
Seeing 'the truth revealed', everyone took deep breaths.
Had Tang Rao not revealed the 'truth', all three hundred and more of them would have died.
These three hundred people's impression of Tang Rao instantly improved greatly.
"You say you just started serving on the young lady's island? Now that the manager is dead, you will be the island's manager from now on."
Tang Rao got promoted through Li Zhentong, though he didn't feel this was a good thing. Tang Rao called it a man's sixth sense.
Whether he liked it or not, he agreed for the ti being, not willing to defy a man who kills at the drop of a hat.
Returning to Li Qi Qi's island, Tang Rao recounted what he saw and heard to Li Qi Qi.
Fortunately, Li Qi Qi was asleep at the ti and didn't know there had been an assassin outside her door.
As Tang Rao explained, Li Qi Qi still couldn't believe such things would happen to her.
"I heard you're the manager here now, does that an I'll have to take orders from you?"
Tao Er, hearing the news from sowhere, returned to Li Qi Qi's room with a pout that hadn't left her face.
Tang Rao handed a broom to Tao Er: "Go tidy up the place, or you'll have this month's Purple Crystal deducted."
Tao Er's suspicious eyes imdiately beca not nearly as small.
So she really did beco Tang Rao's subordinate; Tang Rao was just a newcor, why should he?
