The Liu family brothers were trying to help Li Qi Qi integrate into their circle and avoid awkwardness, so they deliberately picked topics to chat with her.
"When Tang Rao first arrived in the Divine Realm, he stayed at our house."
Li Qi Qi only responded briefly, not having much to say to the Liu brothers.
"Oh, oh, then true love must exist between the sister-in-law and the boss."
The group chuckled, arranged a room for Li Qi Qi, and went their separate ways to cultivate.
Tang Rao recalled that after the conquest, he hadn't even visited Mr. Wen; Wen Lei had promised to follow Tang Rao, yet there was no response from him afterward.
Outside the Wen Family ho, Tang Rao stood at the entrance, where the guards crossed their Divine Artifacts to block his entry.
"Brothers, I'm really here to see Mr. Wen; his na is Wen Jun. Or I could look for Wen Lei; could you notify them for ? I'm their favorite guest, and they'd be quite disappointed if they didn't see ."
Tang Rao was polite enough, speaking kindly to the people at the door, but they rely glanced at him and refused to notify Mr. Wen.
"From what kind of place did this wild man co? Leave quickly, or we really will take action."
Facing Tang Rao's playful pestering, the guards were getting impatient and prepared to act.
"Let repeat myself: I'm truly a good friend of Wen Jun and Wen Lei, I even saved Wen Lei's life. I only wanted to respect you by coming through the main gate..."
Tang Rao's voice was hoarse from speaking, yet he didn't earn any sympathy from the guards.
"If you still refuse to leave..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, soone erged from the house.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, why are you here?"
Wen Lei erged from the entrance, his whole deanor brightened upon seeing Tang Rao.
"I wanted to check on you and your father's injuries, but the guards wouldn't let in, so I was about to leave."
Just as Tang Rao considered leaving, Wen Lei suddenly appeared, complicating any thought of departure.
"Who dares to make my Big Brother leave? He's a valued guest of the Wen Family, and disrespect to him is disrespect to and my father!"
The guards had never heard Wen Lei show such respect to anyone; fortunately, Wen Lei appeared before a full confrontation ensued.
"I'm sorry, I failed to recognize Taiyue; please forgive , Big Brother."
Tang Rao was a big figure; he wouldn't lower himself to argue with a guard.
"Never mind, never mind, you just thought I looked too shabby to be in such a place. Wen Lei inviting in is my honor; it's my fault for not minding my appearance, I don't bla you."
Tang Rao had spoken to this extent, so if Wen Lei didn't reciprocate, it would be disrespectful to Tang Rao.
"All of you go and accept your punishnt."
This was the lightest punishnt for the guards; they were happy to co along to avoid further trouble.
"Boss, you should've told you were coming; I would've brought my father to greet you at the entrance, instead of arriving with no one to welco you—that's quite disrespectful."
Wen Lei may have been a playboy, but he quickly mastered the family customs.
"Let's head inside; I'll see how your father's injuries are."
Tang Rao left so room to maneuver. Last ti he only ntioned Wen Jun had a condition without specifying it; now he could pinpoint it and perhaps even negotiate with Wen Jun. It felt quite satisfying.
Wen Lei took Tang Rao to Wen Jun's study, where soone was already present, causing Wen Lei a bit of guilt.
"Boss, let go in and inform my father first; soone's here for my father's help during this ti. I'll ask them to leave and then invite you in."
Not everyone was eligible to et Tang Rao.
After Tang Rao left, Wen Jun had instructed Wen Lei not to offend Tang Rao and often appease him, as Tang Rao's favor was significant to the Wen family.
"Go ahead, I prefer not interrupting your father's matters."
Tang Rao still preferred not to reveal his relationship with the Wen family to too many people.
Wen Lei quickly ran to Wen Jun's study.
"Lei, when did you beco so unruly?"
Wen Jun was discussing important matters when Wen Lei rushed in, suggesting sothing significant had occurred at ho?
"Father, the Divine Doctor is here."
Wen Lei didn't ntion Tang Rao's na.
A single glance was enough for Wen Jun to understand Wen Lei's aning.
"Brother Zhang, let's call it a day; we'll find another ti for detailed discussions—I have so urgent affairs to attend to."
Wen Jun felt embarrassed, but compared to Zhang Yong, welcoming Tang Rao was more important.
"This Divine Doctor seems significant; I'll visit again another day."
Zhang Yong retracted his previous statent and took his leave.
"Quickly invite the Divine Doctor in."
Wen Jun postponed all other important matters to welco Tang Rao, and after waiting for two minutes, Wen Lei finally invited Tang Rao inside.
"Little brother, I haven't seen you for several days."
Tang Rao cast an ambiguous look at Wen Jun, though Wen Jun's gaze remained steady, not affected by Tang Rao's antics.
"Ah, it's Tang Rao, my young friend. It's the Wen family's honor for Tang Rao to visit."
Mr. Wen had seen much of the world; Tang Rao's straightforward comnts couldn't possibly defeat him.
"That person who just left looked familiar, did he co for sothing?"
Tang Rao casually quipped, causing Wen Jun to change his expression.
"He asked for help with a minor issue. Lei, have the kitchen prepare food; I want to drink with my friend Tang Rao."
Wen Jun assud his casual words would brush off Tang Rao, unaware that Tang Rao wasn't easily fooled.
"Is it concerning the battle? If I rember correctly, this guy was fighting against the Kao Shan Sect. Is he seeking your help to target the Kao Shan Sect?"
Tang Rao's brilliance was so ingrained he could quickly connect all the dots with ease.
Judging by Wen Jun's expression, the likelihood his guess was correct was quite high.
"Indeed, Tang Rao, the young friend, is truly a sage; I'm in awe!"
Wen Jun had to concede when challenging Tang Rao's intellect.
"Are you considering forming an alliance to target the Kao Shan Sect?"
Although Tang Rao hadn't explicitly ntioned his relationship with the Kao Shan Sect, he had previously suggested Wen Jun safeguard the sect. Wen Jun presud Tang Rao valued the Li Family and was rely acquainted with the Kao Shan Sect, expressing support casually, unaware of Tang Rao's fervent protection. Just hearing Wen Jun possibly engaging in inappropriate transactions prompted him to clarify.
"Of course, I'm on Tang Rao's side. Tang Rao's kindness to the Wen family outweighs any external financial incentives."
Mr. Wen quickly chose his allegiance wisely, ultimately sparing his household considerable grief by standing with Tang Rao.
"Good. You probably aren't aware the Kao Shan Sect is under my control; it's my headquarters. If anything goes wrong, I'm in a precarious position."
