The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1518 - 1517: Fallen Under Your Spell

Everyone in the mansion had the same nightmare; they dreamed that the people from the West Island would bring great disaster to the mansion.A voice as ethereal as air said that if they dared to continue keeping Zhou Runfa, the people in the mansion would die one by one, starting with the servants, then the young master and the lord.

It's still acceptable if one person had this dream, but isn't it peculiar that everyone in the Northern Island Master's mansion had it?

Let's say all of them having the same dream is a practical joke, but waking up to find words written on their faces, could that still be a coincidence?

The Island Master was quite frightened but couldn't outright dismiss Zhou Runfa and his group, because the only way to save face and avoid disaster was to send Bei Ming to meet Zhou Runfa, to send him away, turning a big problem into a small one, and a small one into none, thus starting a new chapter.

"Father, though the man has left, my heart remains uneasy. Do you think after he leaves, this nightmare will continue to haunt us, or will it be resolved?"

Bei Ming didn't believe in the supernatural but he believed in that terrifying dream.

Everything in the dream was too real; he dreamed of being cornered and accidentally hitting his elbow in the dream, which resulted in a bruise the next day. He also dreamed of getting a cut on his foot, and upon waking, the cut was still there.

On usual days, Bei Ming wouldn't think of these matters, but now it's different, he couldn't help but dwell on that terrifying dream.

"Son, to tell you the truth, I have never encountered anything so uncanny; perhaps I should go to that Tang Rao's mansion to see what's going on. It's not too late if we have offended Tang Rao's backers previously to apologize and seek remedy now."

Beiyuan's words hit Bei Ming's core, and he thought his father's idea was excellent.

"I was thinking the same, while going to Tang Rao's place, we might as well investigate whether our dream is connected to Tang Rao, and if so, who is behind Tang Rao? That's our primary focus!"

The father and son had a mutual understanding and quickly thought of a plan together, but their timing in visiting Tang Rao was not right.

The Northern Island Master personally came to the outskirts of Zijing City, presented his visiting card, and wanted to meet Tang Rao, only to hear that Tang Rao was in seclusion and wouldn't see anyone.

Everyone being cultivators understood the importance of seclusion, so they patiently waited outside.

Tang Rao stayed in seclusion for a day, so they waited for a day.

Even Tang Rao didn't expect the Northern Island Master and his son to have such patience; he thought he could go out for a quiet stroll, only to find them still at the gate.

"Tang Family Master, are you out of seclusion?"

Beiyuan looked at Tang Rao coming out, almost pounced on him like a hungry wolf seeing food, and Tang Rao nearly mistook him for an invader and almost attacked him.

Fortunately, he restrained himself just in time to avoid a bloody battle.

"I say, are you done yet, coming in batches? Do you think my Zijing City isn't lively enough, or are you here to cause trouble?"

Tang Rao knew that after Zhou Runfa left, he would certainly seek out the Northern Island Master, aware of their good relationship. Beiyuan would certainly help avenge the people from the West Island, but if you're here to avenge, shouldn't there be some sign of intention?

You came to get back at me, shouldn't you bring a bunch of military generals? What are these people carrying trays for?

"No way, we're here today to apologize to Tang Family Master. You misunderstood us."

Beiyuan waved his hand, and the people behind understood his intent by looking at his gesture.

They placed all the items they were carrying in neat rows by Tang Rao's side; the gifts nearly blocked the city gate of Zijing City.

"Tang Family Master, this is a small token, please accept it."

It was to apologize to Tang Rao and serve as a bridge for reconciliation.

Beiyuan somehow learned about Tang Rao's interests and prepared all the things Tang Rao liked. Tang Rao took a glance at the gifts and nodded in satisfaction.

"Lord Island Master, you are too kind. The weather is not hot yet, but Lord Island Master has been standing outside for quite a while, hasn't he? You know my gate guards should be punished for not reporting immediately knowing it was the Island Master."

Tang Rao spoke while having the items carried inside, leaving the gatekeeping brothers speechless.

Boss, but weren't you the one who said not to open the gate no matter who it was, especially the Northern Island Master and the Bald-headed ones? How did the wind suddenly change, and now we're to blame?

Beiyuan, seasoned as he was, could clearly see through Tang Rao's thoughts.

He was secretly thankful; luckily, they didn't come empty-handed; otherwise, they wouldn't have had the right to even enter Zijing City.

"The Island Master coming to my Zijing City certainly isn't a simple visit, how about I guess your purpose? If I guess right, you'll send me twice the gifts you gave before, how's that?"

Bang!

Beiyuan thought he had heard the most ridiculous joke until he saw Tang Rao's serious face, realizing Tang Rao was sincerely discussing gifts and stakes with him.

"Tang Family Master, you jest. We came today to apologize for foolish mistakes we made by keeping people haphazardly. If we had known those people were trouble for you, Tang Family Master, we wouldn't have kept them and would have helped instead."

Bei Ming calculated the value of the gifts Beiyuan brought; compared to losing face, he valued the gifts more.

As for face, since there was no one around, he didn't mind losing it in front of Tang Rao.

"That's right, we are here to apologize. Those people found their way to our Island Master Mansion again today and have already been sent away by us. Now we ask for an attitude from Tang Family Master; if those nine people pose trouble, our Island Master Mansion can lend a hand in throwing them out of the Northern Island."

Tang Rao believed Beiyuan had the capability, but to him, if he feared Zhou Runfa and eight bald men, then in the future, wouldn't he fear anyone stronger than him? How could he live like that?

"No worries, these bald heads are quite fun. Since I killed their grandson, they came for revenge; it's only natural, no need for the Island Master to trouble himself.

Tang Rao didn't believe Beiyuan had such good intentions.

From the time Beiyuan came to Kao Shan Sect and waited outside to meet Tang Rao, Tang Rao had this feeling.

Beiyuan thought that by offering help to deal with the huge trouble of Zhou Runfa, Tang Rao would be grateful, but he hadn't expected Tang Rao to refuse outright without a second thought.
