Chapter 1188 - 1167: Jealousy and Rivalry
Tang Rao has now become the typical dean of discipline."The man I choose, none of your business!"
Qin Qing has already regretted it, feeling that she was a big fool. She actually knew it deep down, but she could repent by herself, and Tang Rao wanting to say anything to Qin Qing wasn't going to fly.
"Fine, I won't interfere. Since I'm healed, I need to return to the Kao Shan Sect. Take care of yourself."
Tang Rao loosened his muscles; there were no signs of injury on him.
"Hey!"
As soon as Tang Rao walked away, Qin Qing followed right behind him.
"What now?"
Tang Rao turned and saw Qin Qing standing there.
"If my dad knows why I came out, things turned out like this, I can't face going back."
Qin Qing didn't even dare to look Tang Rao in the eye.
It was a dark recollection that left a knot in her heart.
"If you can't face going back, find a quiet place to live. Where would you go with me? All the guys around me are rough, and you might think we're harboring improper thoughts about you."
Tang Rao was taunting Qin Qing, and she wasn't dumb; she could hear it.
"No way, just from how well you treated me before, I know you're a good person."
Saying Tang Rao is a good person now, giving him a 'good person card,' funny or not?
"No, no, no, I'm not a good person, I'm a rogue. There's no one in the Divine Realm more of a rogue than me. You better stay away."
No matter what Qin Qing said, Tang Rao wouldn't let her go with him.
"Whether you're good or not, just tell me, do you want me to come with you?"
If Tang Rao said no, Qin Qing would've had the blade at his neck again.
"Want, since you're insisting, I'll reluctantly agree."
Tang Rao softened in front of Qin Qing.
"If you'd figured it out earlier, it wouldn't have come to this."
Qin Qing happily put the knife away.
"Sister, why don't I first take you back to the Kao Shan Sect, and then notify your brother to pick you up?"
"No."
Qin Qing was a bit emotional; she hadn't expected Tang Rao still wanted to send her away.
"You can't stay with me forever. I have a wife, and if people see you around, it won't look good."
Tang Rao was initially interested in Qin Qing. People said Qin Qing was beautiful and the most promising woman in the Qin Family. Tang Rao was super eager to develop a story with her.
But after seeing firsthand that Qin Qing loved another man, Tang Rao dismissed that ridiculous idea.
The heart, if it's meant for you, it's yours; if not, Tang Rao wouldn't oblige.
"Even as a woman, I'm not worried, what are you worried about? Scared I'll take your life?"
Qin Qing glared at Tang Rao and didn't take his words seriously.
Tang Rao, feeling helpless, took Qin Qing back to the Kao Shan Sect.
He thought he could at least hide Qin Qing's presence from Li Qi Qi for a while, but as soon as he returned, Li Qi Qi was waiting at the door.
"Tang Rao, you're back!"
Li Qi Qi gave Tang Rao a warm hug.
But the hug didn't last long, only a few seconds.
"Yeah, I'm back, haha."
Tang Rao, beyond an awkward smile, didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"Tang Rao, who's this?"
With a woman's sixth sense, Li Qi Qi quickly focused on Qin Qing.
"This is my friend, I have nothing to do with her."
Tang Rao made sure to distance himself from Li Qi Qi to prevent overthinking.
"Truly nothing to do with her?"
Li Qi Qi's suspicious eyes scanned Tang Rao, then evaluated Qin Qing.
"Aren't you friends? Your friend is my friend. Let your friend in, lest they feel we've neglected our guest."
Both being women, Li Qi Qi was a bit petty in dealing with men, which Qin Qing understood.
"Hello, I'm Qin Qing, Tang Rao's friend."
In front of Li Qi Qi, Qin Qing threw an alluring glance at Tang Rao that anyone who wasn't blind could see.
"Hello Qin Qing."
Qin Qing's provocation was so blatant, yet Li Qi Qi chose not to engage, instead opting to display her hospitality as the hostess.
"Tang Rao, I'm going to trouble you a lot these days."
Li Qi Qi hadn't even walked away yet—is it too early to thank Tang Rao?
Li Qi Qi pretended not to have heard anything, went downstairs to have someone prepare beddings, leaving Tang Rao alone with Qin Qing.
"Looks like your wife is angry. Do you think she'd misunderstand us?"
Tang Rao glared at Qin Qing, saying: "You knew Qi Qi would misunderstand, yet you said that."
This was blatantly provoking Li Qi Qi.
"I just wanted to see if your wife really loves you or is just saying it. Now it seems it's real love."
Li Qi Qi's patience with Qin Qing because of Tang Rao shows her feelings for him.
"Of course it's real love, no kidding. I'm leaving now; stay here as long as you want."
Whatever Qin Qing said afterward, Tang Rao didn't hear clearly.
He's someone who's affectionate but not indulgent, sharing a common flaw with most men: no matter how attractive a woman is, if another man possesses her, Tang Rao won't touch.
"Qi Qi, I'm back, I'm here to explain."
Tang Rao's repentant attitude was excellent, and Li Qi Qi was a bit angry earlier, but her mood improved in no time.
"Explain what?"
She always liked to act unconcerned in front of Tang Rao.
"Just explaining, I'm deeply remorseful, so I need to tell you clearly. That woman was picked up halfway; who'd have thought saving her life would leave her staying, and now I'm feeling quite helpless."
Tang Rao shrugged, wanting to share his sadness with Li Qi Qi.
"It's okay, I didn't think much."
Li Qi Qi was stubbornly denying; she'd cried alone as soon as she entered.
When Tang Rao entered again, Li Qi Qi hadn't even wiped her tears.
"Really okay? Then should I go chat with her?"
Though joking, Li Qi Qi knew Tang Rao wouldn't do it, but hearing it made her instinctively clutch Tang Rao's arm, saying aggrievedly, "No, you can't go!"
Probably any woman doesn't want her man involved with other women.
"I thought you wanted me to go. Hmm, good attitude, I still love you!"
Tang Rao kissed Li Qi Qi's face.
So shy, Li Qi Qi couldn't even raise her head.
"Tang Rao, actually, actually... if you like that woman, I wouldn't mind."
Li Qi Qi said softly.
