The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1367 - 1366: Family Heirloom

"I have a bottomless pit here, the more the merrier, however much you can bring out, just consider it a loan from me."Just taking it outright, Zhang Wang might not feel balanced.

Zhang Wang is the type of person who, once he has Purple Crystal, will think about seeking treasures, about turning things around. Not leaving him with a couple in hand, where would Tang Rao go to ask for good things in the future?

"Why talk about loans between us? If you're short right now, just take some from me first. I'll ask my old man for more later. After all, the Zhang family will be mine in the future, I can only consider it an advance."

Could such a thing be done?

Tang Rao was so shocked by Zhang Wang's words that his jaw dropped.

"If I advance all my Purple Crystal, you take care of the shop's operations for a while, and I'll return the Purple Crystal to you later, I promise there'll be more, not less."

Zhang Wang extended his hand, and he and Tang Rao gave a heavy high-five, sealing the deal.

"It's settled then. I have a Purple Crystal Card here. All the Purple Crystal is inside it, you can exchange for Purple Crystal at the shop or spend directly. Boss, don't be so polite with me in the future."

Of course, Tang Rao is not one to be polite.

"Thank you then."

Tang Rao unceremoniously took the Purple Crystal Card, infused it with Immortal Energy, and the amount inside exceeded his expectations.

"Didn't expect you to be so wealthy, did you?"

Tang Rao accumulated so much Purple Crystal because of the Purple Crystal Beast he had by his side. As for Zhang Wang, aside from running the Kao Shan Shop, he had no other sources of income. Being able to save up such a significant amount of Purple Crystal like this, it seemed the Kao Shan Shop was indeed a good choice; it was a lucrative business.

"Boss, please don't tease me like that. All my Purple Crystal for marrying a wife is in there. If it weren't for your urgent need for Purple Crystal, even my family wouldn't see this card."

But the one needing Purple Crystal was Tang Rao, which made it a different story.

If Tang Rao needed money, even if Zhang Wang was penniless, he would find a way to scrape some together for Tang Rao.

"Thanks, brother!"

Before departing, Tang Rao didn't say what he had gone through, just wanted to leave, but Zhang Wang still had things unsaid.

"Boss, my grandpa is still waiting at home for you. When you find the sisters-in-law, try to meet the old man. I sense he's very interested in what you told him. While he wants to learn something from you, you can also exchange for some things from him. My grandpa has many treasures. I haven't inherited the entire Zhang family yet, so I can't find ways to get you something good. It's all up to you now."

Is Zhang Wang really the old man's real grandson?

Tang Rao had suspected from the start, but now it's even clearer that Zhang Wang might be a spy for the Zhang family. Otherwise, why would he help outsiders take valuable things from the Zhang family without considering the family's interests?

"You are really the old man's real grandson! But don't worry, I'll do my best."

Tang Rao started off normally, but his next words revealed his real nature in an instant.

"I was thinking you were going to scold me. Go on, the old man will be waiting in the back garden until he sees you."

Tang Rao believed the old man was indeed capable of doing such a thing. To avoid keeping the old man waiting too long, he slipped in smoothly using the method Zhang Wang provided to enter the Zhang family home.

"Old man, your guards are really strict, I almost couldn't get in."

For a family as prestigious as the Zhang family, they were hard enough to find, let alone get inside.

Tang Rao called out in the back garden, and as soon as the old man heard it was Tang Rao's voice, he came out faster than anyone.

"I'd like to see who dares to stop you. This time it was my fault for not thinking it through and notifying the guards. From now on, feel free to come whenever you want, consider this your own home, don't stand on formality."

No, no, I have my own home, old man, you're really too courteous.

Now, whenever anyone tells Tang Rao to treat their home as his own, Tang Rao feels uneasy.

Often, saying it is just words, but there are two situations to fear: one is the elders wanting to move into Tang Rao's Zijing City, and the other is fear the elders might introduce their daughters, granddaughters, or nieces to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao already had enough women. If more were sent his way, he might not be able to handle it.

"Old man, you don't have to be so polite. When you're this courteous, it makes me anxious. If possible, I'd like you to be a little stricter with me."

Generally, juniors saying this to seniors is seen as modest. Seniors hearing this should feel pleased, thinking that this young man is promising.

Tang Rao was just afraid the old man might think that way.

In fact, what Tang Rao said was all true, but explaining more might only complicate matters further.

"Speaking of which, you're of my junior generation, on the same level as Zhang Wang, but what I see in you is more steadiness, unlike our Zhang Wang, who openly declares he wants to go out and be self-reliant, to support himself, yet in reality, he does things that are practically useless and still reaches out to the family for support, truly not understanding at all."

Ha ha ha ha.

Old man, with what you've said, I really don't know how to respond!

Zhang Wang is indeed one of the few who have a knack for making money, it's just that you don't know how he earns money outside.

Besides, if you all knew Zhang Wang's financial backing, would you still give when he reaches out? How could Zhang Wang then have more savings to give me?

Everything has its downsides and upsides.

"Old man, have you been waiting here just to let me talk about Tai Chi Boxing?"

Being the national essence of Yan Country, generation after generation, the younger they are, the harder it is for young people to grasp that feeling, not knowing that classic things are the most valuable.

And like the old man, these older folks, after hearing Tang Rao speak the first two lines and watching Tang Rao demonstrate a few moves, they are deeply captivated, enamored like a Martial Arts Fool, entranced and unable to extricate themselves.

"Yes, yes, those two moves you taught me, I'm still savoring them. If possible, I'd like you to teach me the rest too, I can slowly digest it later."

Teaching everything at once, then slowly digesting on one's own?

Old people have more time, nothing to do, so they whittle away time? Otherwise, why would they spend so much time researching this stuff?

"To be honest, old man, this is a family secret skill, in my family, it's passed down to the men but not to the women, to the eldest but not the younger ones, long-standing rules can't be broken. But considering you're Zhang Wang's grandfather, and Zhang Wang is my good brother, I'll teach you, just once, you comprehend as much as you can."

A family's secret skill, only passed to their own, the old man kept asking, and only then did Tang Rao decide to teach him. That's significantly valuable!

The old folks of that generation had strong beliefs, thinking that if they learned others' family secrets, they ought to offer something in return, like giving Tang Rao something as well.

"I'm not the type to take advantage. Since you gifted me a family treasure, I'll also give you something good from the Zhang family."
