Chapter 1575 - 1574: Betrayal
Yan Lin's eyes were firm but still a bit cloudy. If he hadn't seen that kid chasing people with a knife on the street, Tang Rao might have almost believed Yan Lin's nonsense.What idol? He definitely did not want to be the idol of a madman.
"Look, the man on the Divine Beast Car is the idol of this murder maniac, surely not a good person. We know who it is, let's stay far away from him in the future, otherwise, our lives might be at stake!"
An old man with snow-white hair, barely able to walk steadily, passed by the Divine Beast Car and whispered to those around him.
He thought the outside was so chaotic that speaking a few words softly wouldn't be heard by the people in the car. But he was wrong; Tang Rao not only heard it but heard it clearly.
At that moment, he didn't blame the old man, only blamed Yan Lin for talking nonsense. What idol, he and this man couldn't even be considered acquaintances!
"Kid, let me tell you, you can mess around with food, but not with words. I have no enmity with you, so how could I be the idol of a murder maniac like you!"
But when Tang Rao tried to reason with Yan Lin, Yan Lin wouldn't listen at all. He was glowing all over, wanting to tell Tang Rao he really saw Tang Rao as his idol, and that it had nothing to do with Tang Rao.
To follow his idol, he deliberately ignored Tang Rao's words about not being familiar with him as if they were just beside his ear.
"No, you are an idol, you are my idol!"
The outside was chaotic enough, so Tang Rao seized the opportunity to urge the coachman to drive the car away from the scene as soon as possible. The public's eyes are bright; if they really believed Tang Rao was involved with Yan Lin and saw Tang Rao as a murder maniac too, Tang Rao wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Kun River.
"I can't be bothered to say much to you, just be sensible and get lost, don't talk nonsense with me anymore!"
Yue Er wasn't as brave as Tang Rao. Seeing that the visitor was a murderer, she trembled in fear. If she didn't care about saving face, she would've loved to hide behind Tang Rao for protection.
"Idol, is this your woman?"
If she was the idol's woman, that would be perfect. Surely Tang Rao liked this woman. If he treated her a little better, the woman could say some good things for him in front of Tang Rao... Idol would...
The imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Anyway, Yue Er had no expectations of Tang Rao, and Tang Rao's answer didn't surprise Yue Er, "We have nothing to do with each other!"
After saying that, Tang Rao pulled down the curtain, refusing to continue talking with Yan Lin.
"You murder maniac, don't try to associate with me. If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll disable you on the spot?"
No, idol, you can't treat me like that!
Yan Lin hugged the Divine Beast's leg. If he couldn't delay Tang Rao, at least delaying his Divine Beast would do.
"Look, the murder maniac actually has ties with the Kao Shan Sect's Family Head. We shouldn't buy anything from Kao Shan Shop in the future and let the murder maniac succeed in making money!"
Tang Rao felt bitter but couldn't express it. He really wanted to jump out of the car and first teach Yan Lin a lesson, letting him know some words can't be spoken carelessly.
"You are not allowed to speak ill of my idol. If anyone dares to speak ill of my idol again, believe it or not, I'll go on a killing spree!"
Yan Lin saw the change in the eyes of the people around him. That feeling... he wished he could kill off all the gossipers!
Outsiders didn't even want their goods anymore and ran away quickly for fear of being implicated and losing their lives here.
The street was empty, with no one in sight. The baskets were scattered, with fruits and vegetables thrown everywhere. Only Tang Rao and Yan Lin faced each other.
"Idol, idol, I was wrong."
Seeing that Tang Rao was angry, Yan Lin didn't dare to continue talking to Tang Rao, opting to run away fast.
As long as he wasn't completely despised by the idol, he still had a chance to get closer to him!
But even now, Yan Lin still didn't understand why he idolized Tang Rao so much. From the moment he woke up, his mind had only one belief: he had to follow Tang Rao and become Tang Rao's little tail.
As for where this belief came from, he himself wasn't too sure.
Yan Lin turned around and indeed didn't pester Tang Rao anymore. The large knife in his hand was still stained with blood, and as he dragged it on the ground, sparks flew.
"Master, is that person gone?"
Yue Er covered her eyes, her hands not daring to move from her face.
"It's okay now, he's gone."
Yue Er was really timid, fully aware that Tang Rao was present to protect her at any moment, yet Yue Er still didn't trust Tang Rao a hundred percent. As a man, he felt somewhat like a failure.
"Master, that murdering madman won't cause you any trouble, will he?"
Seeing that the person had left, Yue Er suddenly remembered to worry about Tang Rao.
Her face turned a shade of crimson. She feared her concern for Tang Rao might be misunderstood as affection, leading Tang Rao to distance himself. If she tried to explain, she feared it would become more complicated, and Tang Rao would overthink. So, she simply chose not to explain and waited for Tang Rao's response.
"No, the madman won't do anything or say anything to me, but what he just said plunged me into deep water and fire. Everyone now thinks I, Tang Rao, am linked with that murder maniac, making me one of the same kind!"
Tang Rao's nose and eyes were aligned; he was all too aware of the impact Yan Lin's actions today had on him.
"Let's go back!"
All the vendors on the street were gone, so what was the point of wandering around?
Tang Rao thought he could calm down at home, but he didn't expect another storm waiting for him at home.
Xiao Yue was gone and had taken a group of people with her!
"Boss, you'd better go and take a look. The Vice Sect Leader has caused trouble, please stay calm and take a deep breath, don't get too angry and harm your health."
Sun Miao had been waiting at the gate, and when he saw Tang Rao coming, he hurriedly followed him, reporting the situation nonstop.
"What happened?"
As soon as Tang Rao entered the Kao Shan Sect, he sensed that something was amiss when he saw Sun Miao's flustered demeanor.
Upon hearing that Xiao Yue had taken a group of people, Tang Rao's heart nearly jumped out of his mouth.
What's going on here? He'd only been out for a short while, and something like this had happened. However, Tang Rao couldn't figure out the root cause of the incident.
"Where did Xiao Yue go?"
As the highly-ranked Vice Sect Leader, Tang Rao had given Xiao Yue considerable authority. He trusted Xiao Yue greatly, but Xiao Yue had done something that led to her betrayal. Tang Rao couldn't accept it at any cost.
"Returning to the leader, the Vice Sect Leader's whereabouts are suspicious, and I don't know!"
Sun Miao truly didn't know, but he had concealed one thing from Tang Rao: before Xiao Yue left, she drugged everyone who stayed with her rather than leaving, and even Geng Bucuo was no exception.
"How many were taken in total? What about Cha Xiangzi, has he counted?"
Sun Miao may have caught Tang Rao's eye but hadn't been promoted immediately.
