"Good son-in-law, I never expected you to be a disciple of Chen Tuan. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have married my daughter to you."
In King You Lan's eyes, Chen Tuan deliberately joined forces with Tang Rao to deceive You Xiaoxiao.
All just to settle an old score.
Now it's done, there might be some relationship between You Xiaoxiao and Tang Rao, the situation is a foregone conclusion, and King You Lan has no way to take You Xiaoxiao away.
"Anyway, I'm giving you two choices: with Chen Tuan without me, or with me without Chen Tuan. If you want to be with Xiao Xiao, then kick Chen Tuan out."
Tang Rao looked left and right, unable to make a decision.
"Tang Rao, I've given you so many benefits, you're from my sect, can you really bear to kick me out like this?"
To ruin all traces, Chen Tuan even destroyed the palace back then, leaving no path for himself.
If Chen Tuan really has to leave, besides Liu Mingyue's old nest, he has no place to go.
"Then you should take Xiao Xiao back; I could never betray my mentor and ancestors."
Tang Rao stuck to his principles.
Although he had a liking for King You Lan, in front of the greater good, Tang Rao resolutely stood on the side of righteousness.
Chen Tuan's help to Tang Rao was greater, compared to King You Lan, King You Lan was just a passing presence in Tang Rao's life.
"Tang Rao, you!"
King You Lan was almost certain Tang Rao would choose King You Lan and You Xiaoxiao, kicking out Chen Tuan.
The truth was, Tang Rao chose Chen Tuan, without hesitation.
"Old fool, you see, my disciple would only choose me, you still want to marry your daughter over to cause trouble for him, it's simply daytime dreaming!"
It was the first time in thousands of years that Chen Tuan felt proud in front of King You Lan through his disciple.
"So what, Xiao Li gave me such a beautiful daughter, I'm content and I know you're envious, hahahaha."
The two old rivals walked together, but unless they had a fight, the anger wouldn't seem to be calmed.
"Forget it, how about you have a fight outside the Kao Shan Sect, whoever wins we'll then discuss how to handle things?"
Tang Rao gave them a relatively fair choice.
He wholeheartedly thought both would nod and agree.
But both Chen Tuan and King You Lan shook their heads.
"I suddenly don't want to fight, why should I fight?"
"I'm not fighting him!"
First, you said fight, now you say no fight, you're making things difficult for me.
"Then what should we do? We can't keep arguing like this; I'm very busy, if this goes on, you'll all have to go back to your own homes!"
Time spent with my girlfriend and wives is missing, and I'm still spending time judging for these two old brats?
"Then we won't make trouble anymore."
It's all old matters anyway, being the eventual winner, King You Lan first made concessions so that Tang Rao wouldn't dislike You Xiaoxiao.
"Dad, I don't want to leave Tang Rao, without Tang Rao I—"
You Xiaoxiao, contrary to her usual demeanor, looked at King You Lan with tearful eyes, leaving Tang Rao would mean taking away You Xiaoxiao's chance to live.
"My daughter, you!"
King You Lan sighed and said, "Dad will risk his life to keep Tang Rao by your side, don't worry about it!"
For his precious daughter, King You Lan was willing to swallow his pride; so what?
"Wow, the man who once was willing to risk his life for Xiao Li, now to marry his daughter to my disciple, you can still be so humble. I, Chen, admire you, admire you."
After giving King You Lan a good verbal beating, Chen Tuan felt mentally and physically refreshed, all the gloom from thousands of years ago vanished.
What could King You Lan say, he was also feeling helpless, after all fortunes change, someday Chen Tuan would encounter the same fate.
Having resolved internal conflicts, Tang Rao grilled a whole lamb for his father-in-law to welcome him.
The special sauce was enticing and unforgettable, he had promised King You Lan to make something he had never tasted before, and he kept his word.
The outer layer of the roast lamb was crispy, after the first layer, the second layer quickly cooked, and by the end, only the lamb bones remained.
"Son-in-law, what immortal beast are you roasting, it's simply delicious, tell me where to find these immortal beasts, I'll go hunt a couple and we'll continue roasting."
Immortal beast?
This is goat, uncle.
Tang Rao kindly explained, "This is goat, the Land of Immortals doesn't have these things, I got them from elsewhere, not many, but if you want to eat them, even if there aren't any, I'll make sure to create one for you, wouldn't you agree?"
Tang Rao's sweet words made King You Lan beam with pleasure.
"My son-in-law is just great, I didn't make a wrong choice back then, very nice, very nice."
Picking up chopsticks, King You Lan happily devoured the lamb on the plate.
"My disciple's cooking is truly delicious, worth all the legacy I imparted to you."
Chen Tuan wanted to show his favor to Tang Rao, he indeed had contributed more than King You Lan.
Chen Tuan felt proud.
"Son-in-law, the dowry I gave last time wasn't much, a bit rushed, think about what else you want, your father-in-law will give it all to you. If you find it unsatisfactory, I'll go find more for you, as long as you like them."
Such a good opportunity is not available to everyone.
Tang Rao didn't expect the two people over ten thousand years old to bicker, and he could still receive so many benefits.
"Sure, sure, I want; anything good I want, whoever gives me the best, I'll treat them like family."
Tang Rao began to jump happily.
"Alright, today we go to the underground palace, take anything you fancy."
King You Lan said these words without feeling any heartache.
"Father-in-law, my appetite is quite big, will you regret it? I might take all the valuable things you have!"
Tang Rao sounded a warning for King You Lan.
Someone once told Tang Rao, it's alright, take what you want, and then that person went bankrupt.
Tang Rao first made things clear with King You Lan, so later it couldn't be blamed on Tang Rao for emptying King You Lan's underground palace.
"No worries, I don't have much of anything, treasure aplenty, unlike your Grandmaster, who was miserly even till death."
...
Tang Rao dared not ask any further, asking more would lead to another fierce argument between the two.
After eating and drinking, Chen Tuan sent away Tang Rao and King You Lan; You Xiaoxiao remained in the Kao Shan Sect, while Tang Rao, just as King You Lan invited, repeatedly let Tang Rao go to King You Lan's underground palace to play.
And pick anything he liked.
"Father-in-law, I have enough gold and silver treasures, just don't give me more, or I'll feel embarrassed."
Those things were piled into a mountain inside his space ring anyway, he hadn't had time to use them.
"Rest assured, I won't give you gold and silver treasures, I said take whatever you wish; I absolutely won't impose any obstruction."
With King You Lan's assurance, Tang Rao felt much more at ease.
