Chapter 1503 - 1502: Let Me Give You an Idea
The Kao Shan Sect might hold some influence on the North Island, but in front of Wang Han, it means nothing. If they forcibly keep Wang Han, all the hard-trained soldiers' morale will be gradually worn down by him, and they'll become self-deprecating. Imagine if they were actually to go to war and encounter someone like Wang Han—would they win or lose this battle?They would surely lose, wouldn't they?
This is also why Tang Rao chose to let Wang Han go.
By helping Wang Han, Tang Rao would avoid facing his own failure in training people.
Squadrons, confidants, brothers—none of them should become a mess over just one woman.
When Tang Rao finally made up his mind to separate from Wang Han and even prepare a divorce letter, Wang Han was stunned.
She only wanted freedom; she had struggled hard to get out of West Island and managed to stay on North Island. She didn't want a divorce letter and to be sent back to a cage—no, she absolutely couldn't have that!
"Uh...could you just let me go without giving me any divorce letter?"
Wang Han asked cautiously. She wanted to leave, but not at the risk of Wang Lin possibly going mad.
"You want freedom and also want to be my wife, Tang Rao's wife? There's no such easy thing in this world!"
Tang Rao had so many women, each obedient to him. With or without Wang Han, it didn't make much difference. If he insisted on keeping Wang Han, it was simply because she was the woman of the West Island Master and could support Tang Rao's future.
Even without Wang Han, Tang Rao didn't believe he had no other alternatives.
"Since you're leaving, then a divorce letter is necessary. I should think this through carefully."
Tang Rao even considered how to write the divorce letter, but he didn't expect her to change her mind so quickly.
It was Wang Han who asked for the divorce letter, and now she no longer wanted it.
Tang Rao didn't think of himself as someone who could be discarded and picked up at others' convenience.
"Have you decided yet? If not, I'll give you the divorce letter first. Let's not have any more entanglements. If you have decided, just tell me what you think."
Was he determined to keep his distance from Wang Han?
Wang Han was happy, and she should be grateful that Tang Rao was letting her go so easily. But when he truly did, an indescribable sadness filled her heart.
She even wanted to blurt out that she regretted it, she didn't want to leave, and she definitely didn't want the divorce letter Tang Rao would write for her.
"I..."
She had so much to say, but when it came to her lips, she couldn't say it.
Wang Han didn't realize she was choking up as she spoke.
"Miss, don't cry."
Jin Qiao handed a handkerchief to Wang Han, and only then did Wang Han realize she was crying in front of Tang Rao. No wonder her eyes were so sore—it was because of the tears.
"I wasn't crying. Who said they saw me crying!"
Wang Han was stubborn, denying her tears. But as they fell, was it not evident whether she was crying or not?
"But Miss, the tears on your face are real. Maybe you should wipe them off?"
Wang Han's maid couldn't help but show the word "difficulty" written all over her face as she attempted to cover up the lie.
"Jin Qiao, do you want to lose your tongue and your life?"
Wang Han shot Jin Qiao a glare, and the girl instantly fell silent.
She had so much on her mind but didn't dare to say a word. She feared death, but she feared even more that Wang Han wouldn't want her anymore. Having been with her mistress for so many years, Jin Qiao couldn't bear the consequences of being abandoned.
"Xiao Yue and the others lacked skill and lost to you, so it's not a disgrace. But I hope this is the only time. If you want to challenge someone next time, come challenge me. I'll spar with you."
What sense is there in only challenging the weak? If Wang Han looks down on the Kao Shan Sect, she probably looks down on Tang Rao too. If she wants to challenge someone, it might as well be Tang Rao.
A fight would be exhilarating.
Wang Han couldn't possibly fight Tang Rao. Ever since Tang Rao rescued her on stage, Wang Han knew he was the only person she could never fight.
"I don't need the divorce letter; I want to stay in the Kao Shan Sect."
But I won't stay in the Kao Shan Sect all the time. As for where I go when I leave, that's not something Tang Rao can control.
Even in Tang Rao's harem, Wang Han wanted to continue doing as she pleased.
"Suit yourself."
Tang Rao waved his hand, and the intention to cause trouble quickly cooled down.
You Xiaoxiao waited at Zijing City Gate. When Li Shengxuan and the others returned, she threw herself onto their chests and cried out loud.
Li Shengxuan was quite shocked, while Tu Hongxiu remained much calmer.
"What's going on?"
Li Shengxuan patted You Xiaoxiao's back, helping her to calm down a bit.
"Sister Shengxuan, Sister Hongxiu, an uninvited guest came to our house. Not only did she beat Sister Xiao Yue, but she also stirred the entire Kao Shan Sect into chaos. She even said Qin Qing and I were ugly. You must help us get justice!"
You Xiaoxiao was crying, gasping for breath.
Tang Rao didn't help her or Qin Qing; he even condoned Wang Han despite all the wrongs she had done.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and You Xiaoxiao continued to cry.
"What uninvited guest? A woman?"
Tu Hongxiu was clever, quickly guessing that Tang Rao had brought a woman back.
"Yes, a very beautiful woman, even more so than any we've seen before."
You Xiaoxiao described her to Tu Hongxiu, recapping the events that had occurred, leaving Tu Hongxiu frowning.
Could such a person exist?
It was clear she was there to stir up trouble. Tang Rao wasn't a fool; why would he bring such a woman back unless he had his reasons?
Tu Hongxiu wanted to find Tang Rao to understand the situation. Hearing You Xiaoxiao's desire for Tang Rao to deliver justice, with Tang Rao showing little response, it indicated he had a clear bias toward that woman. Thus, even if Tu Hongxiu were to ask, Tang Rao wouldn't say a word to her.
"Don't go looking for Tang Rao yet; he has his reasons. Once he wants to explain, we'll naturally know what he's up to. You should all head back; I'll go check on Xiao Yue, and then meet this woman."
With Tu Hongxiu's assurance to help, You Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, nodding eagerly and following Tu Hongxiu's suggestion.
"Then thank you, Sister Hongxiu. I'll be off now."
You Xiaoxiao smiled to herself, leaving with a heart full of joy.
"Sister Hongxiu, will Xiaoxiao be alright?"
Li Shengxuan looked at Tu Hongxiu worriedly, hoping for some guidance.
"I don't know. Let's go see first."
Tu Hongxiu wasn't sure herself. Having just returned, she had no idea what had happened at home.
