The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1579 - 1578: Life-Link Gu

"Based on the time, the boss should be arriving soon?"What's the meaning of this?

The people resting at the moment are also completely confused, not knowing what Xiao Yue is planning.

To be honest, since the beginning, when Xiao Yue secretly gathered them, they should have suspected that this outing wasn't at all like she said, it wasn't a secret order from the boss.

However, Illusion City Glasses were in Xiao Yue's hands, and they could not oppose her, nor could they contact anyone from the Kao Shan Sect. All they could do was obey orders; anyone who didn't might lose their life here.

Xiao Yue guessed correctly, even without Illusion City's positioning, Tang Rao quickly discovered her whereabouts. Moving like a ghost, the surrounding trees flew by as he moved forward, and soon he saw Xiao Yue sitting alone by the river, her legs dangling in the water, looking completely at ease.

She doesn't seem afraid of being discovered.

Or maybe she's waiting for someone, waiting for Tang Rao?

"Here he comes!"

Xiao Yue stared at the woods, even though she couldn't see anyone, she knew just by listening to the rustle of leaves that someone was there.

"What is here?"

The people present had no idea what Xiao Yue was talking about.

With a bitter smile on her face, she thought: what's meant to come will always come; there's no escaping it. She is destined to fall into Tang Rao's hands in this lifetime.

"Your boss is here."

Luckily Xiao Yue had leverage against Tang Rao; that's why she dared to take his people without fearing he'd find her and take her life.

"Indeed, after spending so long in the Kao Shan Sect, your vigilance has certainly increased."

Tang Rao appeared in front of Xiao Yue. He wished he could take her life on the spot, but he didn't. He wanted to know why Xiao Yue was so fearless!

"You came faster than I expected, but you won't kill me."

Xiao Yue gave a bitter laugh, looking at the man she once loved, willing to give up everything for love. She didn't even know how things got this far between her and Tang Rao.

"If I wanted to kill you, I could do it anytime. No one has ever doubted my willingness to do so!"

Tang Rao placed his hand on Xiao Yue's neck. As he squeezed, Xiao Yue felt pain, but so did Tang Rao, feeling discomfort around his own neck.

"Hahaha, you really want me dead? But if I die, you die too. If my beloved man is willing to accompany me to the grave, what is my life worth?"

Tang Rao couldn't believe such an evil thing existed in this world. He squeezed Xiao Yue's neck with one hand and slapped her with the other. As a handprint appeared on Xiao Yue's face, pain also bloomed on Tang Rao's face.

When his neck first tightened, Tang Rao noticed something was wrong. Now that there was a handprint on his face, if he didn't believe there was something suspicious, his mind must be malfunctioning.

"What did you do to me?"

Previously, he had the thought of killing Xiao Yue; now, Tang Rao began to fear this ominous woman before him.

After receiving Tang Rao's slap, Xiao Yue smiled triumphantly: "I didn't do much, just put a poisonous insect on you while at the Kao Shan Sect. You know, I gave you the life-sharing insect. If I hurt, you hurt; I die, you die. This way, we can be together forever."

Alive or dead, in life and death, she would always be Tang Rao's woman.

"So that's it, a life-sharing insect. You placed the insect on me. Maybe I should ask, do you have ties with the East Island Yan Family?"

In the world of using poisonous insects, except for the Yan Family, Tang Rao couldn't think of anyone else.

"East Island Yan Family? I thought you didn't know them; turns out you knew all along."

The Yan Family kept a low profile not only on West Island but also on East Island. Xiao Yue wasn't sure how Tang Rao knew about the East Island Yan Family.

"So it really is the Yan Family. It seems if I don't look for trouble with them, they'll come after me."

Tang Rao had never been to East Island, didn't know its situation, and originally planned to visit later. Now his schedule had to not only advance but take top priority!

"Boss, didn't you say you gave us secret tasks to complete?"

Earlier, it was this person asking Xiao Yue, seeing things weren't right, he turned to Tang Rao.

"Me? Secret tasks?"

Tang Rao thought Xiao Yue had sophisticated methods to fool these four hundred people away from the Kao Shan Sect, claiming to be on a mission outside.

It's a pity their reason for leaving wasn't wrong, but now that Tang Rao had given orders and Xiao Yue had taken them, returning was impossible, regardless of their initial intentions not to betray the Kao Shan Sect.

If someone lacks basic vigilance, no matter how strong, what does it matter?

"I never issued any tasks. Since this woman managed to take you out, I presume her words and actions convinced you. Now that you've left, stand on your own outside with her."

Tang Rao didn't want these four hundred people to die at his hands, nor did he dare risk it by killing Xiao Yue in such a situation. What's to be done? If Xiao Yue wished to establish her own faction, let her be!

"What? We are from the Kao Shan Sect, sworn to follow our boss and conquer the world. How come we've become part of the Vice Sect Leader's independent faction?"

One person is dissatisfied, two people are dissatisfied, one hundred people are dissatisfied, two hundred people are dissatisfied...

Everyone realized they had been deceived. They understood the consequences were severe and knew they urgently needed Tang Rao to believe they were not intent on betraying the Kao Shan Sect. Otherwise, accused of betraying the sect, they wouldn't be welcomed by any sect or family.

With no one to take them in and lacking resources to maintain their strength, their lives would essentially be over.

"Xiao Yue is no longer the Vice Sect Leader of the Kao Shan Sect. Since you've followed her, work hard with her in the future."

Tang Rao turned away in despair, not wanting to look at this group anymore.

He didn't ask Xiao Yue why she did this, didn't want to hear her excuses, and didn't want to learn from her how to remove the life-sharing insect.

Xiao Yue was obsessed; she feared neither death nor revealing the method to undo the poison.

"Tang Rao, are you just going to walk away? Aren't you afraid I'll die in front of you, forcing you to join me in death?"

Xiao Yue shouted at Tang Rao's back, clutching her fists angrily, thinking her threat would make him stay. Unfortunately, after all these years with Tang Rao, she still knew too little about him.

"If you wanted me dead, you'd have killed me when you placed the life-sharing insect on me."

Tang Rao was gambling, betting Xiao Yue merely wanted to threaten him, and when it comes to life and death, not everyone can be so calm.

"Boss, we're innocent, please give us another chance."
