After sending Ye Xiaobai back to the Ye Family, Tang Rao returned to the Special Ninth Department.

Forget the Bai Family... even though Bai Jinseng and his troublesome son Bai Ge had already gone to the Sword Sect, Tang Rao really didn't like going there.

The Special Ninth Department was better, where he could do whatever he wanted.

Sleep without disturbance, speak without contradiction.

When in a good mood, he could sleep, and when not, he could go ~~crazy beating up the newbies.

Of course, Tang Rao was constantly engaged in one thing: devouring Blood Spirit Pills.

Eating while walking, eating while thinking, even absent-mindedly eating while staring off into space; he was endlessly popping those red Blood Spirit Pills into his mouth.

The consequence of such rampant consumption was that Tang Rao spent roughly one-sixth of each day in the bathroom.

Due to frequent toilet clogs, he even invented a new practical technique: Clear Toilet with Spiritual Energy.

A boring skill...

In a flash, ten days passed. Tang Rao maintained his intake of three hundred Blood Spirit Pills a day, totaling three thousand in ten days, amounting to merely three million units of Spiritual Energy.

To break through to the Enlightenment Phase seemed an eternity away.

"Oh my god, why is the universe treating me like this?" Tang Rao howled, lying on a lounge chair.

On the plaza ahead, the new recruits were also howling.

Neither Ming Luo nor Liu Shisan were easygoing; the training was downright brutal.

It was also lucky that these recruits came from the military; ordinary people would have probably thrown in the towel and left by now. It wasn't just hardship, it was outright torture.

"Buzz..." The mobile phone on the table beside Tang Rao suddenly vibrated.

He reached out to pick up the phone and, after a glance, pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Xiao Huan, what's up?" Tang Rao asked cheerfully. Speaking of which, it had been quite a while since he last contacted Jiang Langhuan.

"Tang Rao, I'm sorry." Jiang Langhuan's voice came through, faintly sobbing.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rao's brow furrowed slightly, apologizing right at the start indicated a problem.

"I... I can't fulfill our agreement anymore, I'm sorry..." There was a lot of regret in Jiang Langhuan's voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You said once I found the man I loved, you would annul our marriage arrangement. I haven't found him yet, but now, this marriage arrangement must be annulled ahead of time." Jiang Langhuan sounded weak.

Tang Rao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Tang Rao, Uncle Tang has already agreed, Aunt Bai has nodded too, Tang Rao... I'm sorry," Jiang Langhuan continued to apologize.

Tang Rao's gaze turned dark.

"I'm telling you, Jiang Langhuan, without my consent, this marriage arrangement cannot be annulled. Wait for me," Tang Rao was already standing up from his lounge chair.

"Tang Rao, don't come here! Please don't!" Jiang Langhuan shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, Tang Rao had already hung up the phone.

...

In the Jiang Family reception room, the higher-ups of the Jiang Family gathered together, their expressions solemn.

At the head of the room, sitting to the right, was Jiang Tiesheng, and to the left was a young man.

In his thirties, dressed in white, he was leisurely fanning himself with a fan in hand. The young man seemed quite pleased, a smile on his face.

"Mr. Edao, I have prepared food and drinks already. Since the matter has been settled, perhaps..."

"Wait a moment." The young man interrupted Jiang Tiesheng, "I am quite fond of Lang Huan. Let her come here, I have a few words to say to her."

"Mr. Edao, this..."

"Is it inconvenient?" Mr. Edao looked at Jiang Tiesheng, eyes slightly squinting.

Caught under Mr. Edao's gaze, Jiang Tiesheng felt his heart skip a beat.

"Pang Yuan, call... Xiao Huan over again," Jiang Tiesheng sighed and turned to look at Pang Yuan.

"I understand," Pang Yuan nodded his head.

However, at this moment, Pang Yuan's expression didn't look good. Mr. Edao was very domineering, too domineering for comfort.

And so far, he had not made any promises.

Now, he was about to speak with Lang Huan again, and who knows what he was scheming.

A few minutes later, Pang Yuan returned to the living room, and following behind him were Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue.

Jiang Langhuan had a grave expression, while Jiang Langyue was seething with rage.

Her fury was directed at Mr. Edao, but the majority was still aimed at Jiang Tiesheng.

She really didn't understand where her sister had gone wrong. First, it was Tang Rao, and now what's this Mr. Edao? Do you think my sister is merchandise? Do you think you can just sell her to whomever you wish? Jiang Tiesheng, aren't you her biological grandfather? Is there anyone who would harm their own granddaughter like this?

Jiang Tiesheng felt a headache coming on, why had Lang Yue also come along?

With her temperament...

"Tch!" Jiang Langyue suddenly spat out saliva towards Jiang Tiesheng.

Although it didn't land on Jiang Tiesheng, the effect was the same.

Jiang Tiesheng's entire face changed.

Lang Yue... She hated him... loathed him...

And Lang Huan, from the moment she entered up till now, she didn't even glance at him once.

Lang Huan hated him, too...

Was he wrong? Jiang Tiesheng opened his mouth, wanting to tell Lang Huan and Lang Yue that all he had done was for the sake of the Jiang Family.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

"What do you want to say to me?" Jiang Langhuan asked Mr. Edao with an emotionless face.

"I heard that before this, you had another marriage arrangement, didn't you?" Mr. Edao sipped his tea slowly as he spoke.

Jiang Tiesheng's face changed upon hearing this; he hadn't mentioned this matter to Mr. Edao.

He had already settled things on the Tang Family side, with both Tang Renwang and Bai Yushu having agreed.

"Yes," Jiang Langhuan nodded.

"You should know, I, as a person, am not too keen on accepting second-hand goods," Mr. Edao put down the tea cup, his tone somewhat cold.

"You..." Jiang Langyue was about to curse him out but was directly held back by Jiang Langhuan.

"Compared to disliking him, I dislike you even more," Jiang Langhuan said softly.

"Hmm, a smart woman," Mr. Edao nodded his head, his face full of smiles. From Jiang Langhuan's words, he could tell that she didn't like the guy she was previously engaged to. Since she didn't like him, naturally, nothing would have happened.

"Has it already been dissolved?" Mr. Edao asked again.

"It has been broken off long ago," Jiang Tiesheng immediately replied.

"Good, that's good," Mr. Edao smiled lightly, then continued to look at Jiang Langhuan, "Tonight, come to my room. Do you understand?"

Jiang Langhuan clasped her hands tightly. She wanted to run, to leave this place, to disappear forever.

But she couldn't. If she disappeared, the Jiang Family would suffer a catastrophic disaster.

This Mr. Edao in front of her, was more troublesome than dealing with a Sect.

"Sister!!" Jiang Langyue looked at Jiang Langhuan, refusing! Just refuse him!

"I..."

"Boom!" Just as Jiang Langhuan was about to agree, a roaring sound came.

Following that, before everyone could react, a modified Jeep Grand Cherokee stormed in, "duang," it crashed directly through the front door of the living room, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Click," the car door was pushed open, and a figure got out of the car, his face full of mockery.

All the members of the Jiang Family had their eyelids twitching wildly.

Tang Rao!
