Chapter 1183 - 1182: Targeting the Li Family First
Tang Rao had established the Kao Shan Sect for quite some time, and many nights he wondered how the future development of the sect would look.But despite countless nights of pondering, he couldn't come up with the best path forward.
"A path? Boss, what kind of path are you thinking about?"
Lao Zhang hadn't thought of any path, or rather, he'd never even considered it.
"Lao Zhang, oh Lao Zhang, this is your Kao Shan Sect, and you don't even think about its future? Is that acceptable?"
Tang Rao's words were indirect yet meant for everyone.
To Tang Rao, he never considered claiming the Kao Shan Sect as his own, including during his time in the Land of Immortals; his attitude remained the same.
"Boss, the Kao Shan Sect is yours, I've never dared to covet it. Boss, if you have anything to say, just tell us brothers directly. Without your words, I feel a bit uneasy."
Lao Zhang gave Tang Rao a good start, and though Tang Rao was pleased inside, he feigned displeasure on his face saying, "Nonsense, what is 'your Kao Shan Sect' or 'my Kao Shan Sect'? The Kao Shan Sect has always belonged to everyone. I've never wanted to claim it for myself. Since it's your Kao Shan Sect, as the leader, I'm just paving the road ahead during execution, but determining our future requires everyone's collective effort. It's not for me alone to decide."
Tang Rao was 'furious,' his eyes even filled with bloodshot lines from his 'anger.' If anyone else dared to ask about the path, Tang Rao would've surely smashed a toilet on their head.
"Boss, as a small family, the Kao Shan Sect has currently achieved significant results in the Zhongshen competition. If possible, I'd like to share my suggestions."
This time, the speaker was Liu Si, a man of few words yet as sharp as Liu Da.
"Liu Si, please share."
Anyone could speak; Tang Rao already had a plan in mind, just waiting to see if anyone would mention it.
For this matter, if Tang Rao decided alone, it wouldn't have been a good idea.
"In my opinion, since the Tingzhou Li Family has been burned, and Boss has close ties with them, with the Head of Li Family's daughter being the boss's wife, the Li Family needs support the most right now. Why don't we lend them a hand, first collaborate with the Li Family. At least our two families together can secure a spot there."
Liu Si's analysis was clear, but it was not what Tang Rao wanted.
The Tingzhou Li Family was already within Tang Rao's reach, requiring no time or effort.
Besides, before the fire, wasn't the Tingzhou Li Family already in Tang Rao's grasp?
These unscrupulous matters, Tang Rao just felt it wasn't convenient to reveal yet.
"Does anyone else have any good ideas?"
When Tang Rao asked this, Liu Si knew his idea hadn't been approved by Tang Rao.
"Good ideas are hard to come by. Our strength is weak; attacking other families is impossible. It's better to recruit some experts, expand our strength, and then make our move when we're stronger."
"Yeah, yeah, if we make our move now, it's a dead end. Why bother?"
There were too many people in the Kao Shan Sect with a defeatist attitude, which was not a good sign.
Tang Rao felt a chill run through his heart.
He had started off so well; if he let the brothers become discouraged now, wouldn't it affect future morale?
"I do have a good idea; why don't you all listen, and then we can discuss whether to adopt it or not."
Tang Rao jokingly suggested.
The previous plans had been rejected by Tang Rao; everyone was quite eager to know what ingenious method he might propose.
"Boss, what's the method?"
They all focused on Tang Rao's face, enough to make him a bit embarrassed.
"Why don't we take over the Li Family?"
Huh?
"Boss, which Li Family?"
The Kao Shan Sect people only knew one Li Family, but the Li Family was different from other families; no one dared to touch it. Perhaps there were other Li Families, everyone consoled themselves because they couldn't believe their boss Tang Rao was a madman.
"The only family that can be called Li Family is Li Yun's."
Oh really!
With Tang Rao's words, two members of the Kao Shan Sect fainted on the spot.
They were scared silly. Attacking the Li Family, if not frightened to faint, they'd surely lose a layer of skin.
Such foolishness, they wouldn't do it.
"Boss, the Li Family you mean, the family of the competition judge Li Yun? I advise you to give up; this is no small matter. If handled poorly, our lives would be at stake."
It's not a joke. Talking about matters of life and death, it's clearly walking into a dead end, isn't it?
No one accepted Tang Rao's opinion; they all thought he must be a madman to suggest such a thing.
"You all think I'm joking? But I've really set myself a small goal, to take down the Li Family first."
Still talking?
They fainted two already from fear, really need to faint two more to be satisfied?
"Boss, how about we choose a different family? After all, we know our own strength, why get ourselves killed unnecessarily, right?"
Even Liu Da was advising Tang Rao?
"Liu Da, do you think I'm someone who doesn't consider the consequences?"
Tang Rao suddenly calmed down, staring at Liu Da.
Liu Da was baffled, but after seeing the bright and determined eyes of Tang Rao, he submitted entirely.
"Though it seems impossible, I always believe in what the boss says; this hasn't changed since I followed the boss."
Even if Tang Rao claimed he could sit on the throne of light, Liu Da would believe him.
"Liu Da, it's good to have your words. Rest assured, will I let you down?"
Tang Rao had very little understanding of Li Yun. During a hot pot meal, he'd tricked Li Yun, leaving a strong impression on Tang Rao's mind.
When Tang Rao wasn't sure who to target first, his immediate reaction was, should he choose Li Yun?
This subconscious thought amazed Tang Rao himself.
"The boss won't disappoint us; we trust his judgment. Whatever the boss says, we'll do, and we won't fail his expectations."
This slogan was chanted by all the brothers of the Kao Shan Sect, but never with such unity as today.
"So, shall we set this small goal then?"
He asked somewhat uncertainly.
This is still a 'small' goal? Such a huge target wouldn't have been dared even thought of normally.
"Boss makes the call. If the boss deems it fit, let's set it first."
Tang Rao's words could hardly be denied.
With such a 'good discussion,' Tang Rao figured the first step for the Kao Shan Sect to gain fame.
That night, as Tang Rao stayed in the Kao Shan Sect residence, he watched the stargazing, seeing Sirius flickering non-stop, an ominous sign, and Sirius pointed exactly in Li Yun's direction.
