Tang Rao said sothing, and Li Qi Qi really believed it.
"Tang Rao, if you can hold the position in the middle family, we can be together forever and never have to be sneaky again."
Li Qi Qi thought about this and felt a bit excited. She didn't want to be laughed at from the bottom of her heart, nor did she want anyone to say that Tang Rao was marrying up to her.
"Mm, rest early, recovering your health is important."
Tang Rao cald Li Qi Qi down, and as soon as he walked out the door, he imdiately set up a restriction to keep everyone out of Li Qi Qi's room.
He returned to his own small B-level room; sleeping in a big bed was still more comfortable.
Not even a day had passed, and Brother Lei arrived at Li Qi Qi's little island, carrying a big package. The outside was black velvet, and the contents weren't quite visible.
"Brother, brother, where are you?"
Brother Lei was bold; he wasn't afraid of anyone seeing him there and directly treated them with the attitude of handling trespassers.
"Here."
After a sweet sleep, Tang Rao appeared in front of Brother Lei, full of energy.
"Yo, Brother Lei, you ca so early."
Tang Rao called him Brother Lei with a bit of teasing.
"Don't call that, I'm Wen Lei, you can call Xiao Lei or Lei Zi."
Only today did Tang Rao learn Brother Lei's real na.
"No way, I must call you Brother Lei. Brother Lei, where's the stuff?"
Tang Rao didn't want to waste ti on the phony things. Wen Lei delivering the stuff was what mattered.
"Here, in my hands."
Brother Lei quickly opened the package and took out a beautifully decorated list.
"Here it is. I also brought so treasures my dad cultivated, which should help you. This list can't be given; you have to rember it and return it to ."
Brother Lei was true to his word, knowing how crucial the list was to his father and understanding that just explaining to Tang Rao wouldn't ensure its return, so he simply brought so other valuable treasures for Tang Rao.
For these good things, Tang Rao, of course, nodded.
"No problem, we're good friends, right? Good friends share fortune, so I'll take a look and return it to your dad after, without raising his suspicions."
Tang Rao's ultimate goal is to develop Brother Lei as his own man.
Though not a good person, using him as an underling to get things done was reliable.
"Hehe, don't worry, big brother, my dad will never suspect."
After all the talk, why hadn't Tang Rao ntioned when he would give the antidote?
Brother Lei suffered a lot for this antidote; only he knew the extent of his struggle.
"Brother, I've given you everything; I've worked hard for so long. Just give the antidote, or else I can't sleep. It's unbearable."
Brother Lei hadn't slept a wink the previous night, worried that once he closed his eyes, he wouldn't open them again. When he delivered the items to Tang Rao the next day, his legs felt light like he had endured a century-long night.
Tang Rao was busy morizing the nas, distributions, and personal profiles on the list and paid no attention to what Brother Lei said.
"Brother, how about we agree not to disturb each other, best if we never et again, and I won't bother your people, sound good?"
Tang Rao put down the list; this second sentence, he heard.
"Sure, but didn't you already take the antidote yesterday? Not feeling well?"
His innocent look made Brother Lei think Tang Rao was a good man.
"When did you give it? Yesterday you said it would only work for a few days, after which I'd die from poison. Did you forget?"
Brother Lei was almost driven crazy by Tang Rao's leisurely words.
"Oh, I suddenly rembered. Yesterday, seeing your sincere attitude, I gave you the antidote, thinking you'd feel it. Didn't expect you didn't know, so foolish."
What? The thing eaten yesterday was the antidote?
Upon discovering the truth, Brother Lei regretted it deeply.
If he had known Tang Rao would do this, he'd have run away without a care, further not needing to help steal the list.
If the old man found out about all the foolish things he did, he'd fear his legs would be broken.
"Well, thanks, Brother. I'll take my leave now."
As Brother Lei tried to leave, Tang Rao grabbed him by the shirt, forcibly pulling him back.
"I forgot to tell you that I recorded everything when you gave the stuff. If I get upset and show the recording to your dad, do you think he'd beat you to death?"
What?
Everything was recorded just now?
Brother Lei wanted to slap himself.
It was his trust in Tang Rao that led him to be deceived repeatedly. Now what? Hoping to counter against Tang Rao in a crisis by complaining to the old man was childish thinking with no friends.
"No worries, Brother, keep it; pull it out to watch whenever you feel like it. I understand this matter is just between us, no third person involved."
Upon declaring this, Tang Rao released Brother Lei's waistband, allowing him to leave.
Fortunately, he was smart, knowing how to advance and retreat; otherwise, how long could he survive under Tang Rao's hand?
Tang Rao opened the black velvet bag entirely, not only seeing the list he morized but also countless small Stones, and the kid even copied his dad's Heart thod Mantras for Tang Rao.
Truly the industry's conscience in the world of debauchery.
"With these things in hand, am I still afraid of not getting first place?"
Tang Rao smiled slyly, even frightening himself.
The next morning, Li Zhentong gathered everyone in a large, sealed room, so empty it was suffocating. Tang Rao stood quietly inside.
"When is the master coming? We've been waiting so long. If he delays any longer, the flowers might wilt."
Among a hundred people, the atmosphere was suffocating, fighting for breaths just to get a bit of air.
"Stop complaining. He's the master, naturally taking his ti to appear. If you've got issues, feel free to drop out, don't participate."
Li Zhentong arrived hearing the commotion.
"Seems like after training, you're quite lively?"
As soon as Li Zhentong spoke, the scene quieted down, so still, a pin drop could be heard.
"Today is the day to test your results. I've given you resources, opportunities, and what I want from you should be clear. Starting now, I'll evaluate whether you have the chance to break through Middle God. If you do, I won't hesitate to give you better things."
How did Li Zhentong beco a Middle God? He was unqualified and weak; without continuous resources, he'd still be a Lower God.
Resources are limited, and if not busy cultivating a few Middle Gods, he wouldn't contribute his treasured Magic Treasure.
