"Uh... is it too late for to just walk away now?" Liu Xiangbang was stunned for a long ti before finally blurting out.
Tang Rao and Fan Xiaohua were both rolling their eyes.
"What do you think?" Tang Rao asked.
"Uh, probably not, huh. So, um, can I surrender now? Mr. Tang, I don't know if you'll believe , but I really didn't want to co this ti. I didn't want to provoke you either. It was all Wanyuan's coercion. I'm desperate too; I had no choice. I could only think about redirecting your anger towards Ah Huan, he was the one eagerly wanting to kill you..." Liu Xiangbang said.
Actually, he was just trying to explain himself. Tang Rao probably wouldn't believe it and this ti, he was likely to have no way out.
Even Brother Quan and the others might be done for.
"I believe you." Tang Rao nodded with a smile.
What the heck?
Liu Xiangbang looked up, dumbfounded at Tang Rao. What the devil? Did Tang Rao just say he believed him?
It can't be a trick, right? He's not speaking sarcastically, is he?
"Um, Mr. Tang, you... you're not joking with , right?" Liu Xiangbang asked.
Tang Rao spread his hands, "Although I'm a person who likes to joke around, there's no need for that kind of thing. If I really wanted to kill you, I certainly wouldn't waste words with you. Even last ti when you were asking Xiao Hua to find out information about , I could have killed you then and there."
"Uh, so what do you want exactly?" Liu Xiangbang continued, still not quite clear about Tang Rao's intentions.
"What do you think I should do?" Tang Rao asked.
"Um, I was actually thinking about leaving Qinghe Sect. Why not let go? I'll certainly fly far away, change my na and hide my identity, never to appear before you again. How about that?" Liu Xiangbang said.
"Not good," Tang Rao shook his head.
"Then what's good?"
"Think again, I'll give you another chance," Tang Rao said.
Liu Xiangbang: "..."
Why don't you just say what you want, making say it, what kind of person are you, what's this tactic.
"Um, Mr. Tang, do you perhaps want to join you?" Liu Xiangbang said.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea, it could work," Tang Rao nodded with a smile.
Liu Xiangbang had a resigned expression. Just as he thought.
But he really didn't want to join Tang Rao again. These formidable people often have similar temperants. If Tang Rao and Wanyuan are cut from the sa cloth, then betraying Wanyuan to join Tang Rao wouldn't make much of a difference.
"You don't seem very willing," Tang Rao noted.
"If I say I'm unwilling, would you kill ?" Liu Xiangbang asked.
"You can give your reasons, you know. If they're reasonable, I might not kill you; just beat you up a bit."
Liu Xiangbang: "..."
"Haha, just kidding. Actually, I'm pretty laid-back, it's fine if you don't want to join . I just thought you were quite good at judging the situation. I want to establish a system of cooperation and mutual prosperity that extends throughout the Land of Immortals, and you might be able to help. But if that's not sothing you're interested in, I won't force you," Tang Rao said.
Liu Xiangbang was stunned for a mont. A system of cooperation and mutual prosperity that extends throughout the Land of Immortals? Why does that sound so aweso?
"I'm actually not into fighting and killing at all; it's pretty aningless. Just like before, when I could have wiped you all out, but instead, I chose to let you go, and I even let Hao Tian go. My intentions are clear; I'm set on working with the Qinghe Sect. It just seems that the Wanyuan Sect Master is not so willing, so in that case, I guess I have to play hardball," Tang Rao said with a shrug, acting as though he had no choice.
"You're not joking, right?"
"Joking my ass. Like with the Bounty Hall, we had a conflict before. Did I exterminate them? No! Instead, I worked hard to foster deep cooperation between us," Tang Rao said.
Of course, Liu Xiangbang didn't know that although Tang Rao didn't wipe out the Bounty Hall, he did off Xiao Jinsan, didn't he?
"Anyway, why am I telling you this? So, yeah, if you're not willing to join, you can leave now. Don't go back to the Qinghe Sect, I guess after your failure this ti, Wanyuan won't let you off the hook so easily," Tang Rao said.
"No, I won't leave! Sect Master, I won't go! From now on, I want to follow you!" Liu Xiangbang suddenly cried out, blubbering with snot and tears, looking incredibly agitated.
Tang Rao, Fan Xiaohua, and Xiao Yun all looked dumbstruck, like, holy shit, weren't you just not wanting to join a mont ago? How did it change so fast...
"Sect Master, you don't know, my lifelong wish has been for world peace. I've always thought that the Land of Immortals shouldn't always be about fighting and killing, but should focus on cooperation and joint developnt. I thought this was just an unrealistic fantasy of mine, and I never expected to et soone who would actually do it. But today, I've t you, please take in, I'm willing to devote all my light and warmth, to exhaust all my fervor on this path," Liu Xiangbang said passionately.
Tang Rao: "..."
Holy shit, the way you talk, I feel like I'm about to ascend to the heavens myself, about to create a new era any minute.
"I'm glad you feel that way, welco to join the Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao said.
"Yes, Sect Master, thank you, Sect... Huh? Kao Shan Sect? Isn't that...?" Liu Xiangbang was suddenly confused when he heard the na "Kao Shan Sect."
As far as he knew, Kao Shan Sect was the lowest power in the entire Land of Immortals.
"Yes, it's that Kao Shan Sect you know of. But now, it's just called that, we are the pioneers of a new era in the Land of Immortals; we're the trailblazers of this new era. I believe, just like you, that one day, we'll achieve trendous cooperation throughout the Land of Immortals," Tang Rao said, pumping his fist.
"Sect Master, you're really... you're really... so, so great!" Liu Xiangbang cried again, tears streaming down his face.
Fan Xiaohua only had four words in her mind: Oh my god.
Never before had Fan Xiaohua admired Tang Rao like she did at this mont; he was just so impressive, it was breathtaking.
Got to hand it to him!
"Alright, Lao Liu, um, I'll call you Lao Liu from now on. In Kao Shan Sect, there are no ranks, although I am the Sect Master, we just have different responsibilities. Just ask this wimp, Xiao Hua, for more details," Tang Rao said.
"Holy shit, Sect Master, that's going too far, I might be a bit of a coward, but please call a cowardly man, let's keep the gender clear," Fan Xiaohua said, looking unhappy.
Liu Xiangbang almost cried again, looking at Tang Rao then at Wanyuan, it's just incomparable, really.
"Sect Master, what should we do now? That Ah Huan, he's watching us like a tiger waiting to pounce. By the way, do you know about Ah Huan?" Liu Xiangbang asked.
"Yeah, I know about him, didn't he co with you to my yard last ti? He probably thinks his hiding skills are so great that I didn't notice anything... All I have to say is: haha," Tang Rao said with a shrug.
