The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1649 - 1648: Something Happened

"Mom, Dad doesn't want us anymore. Why should we still care about him? He has many wives, but only you are left to take care of me, Xiao Bai, without any help. Aren't you tired, Mom? I'm really worried for you."Tang Xiaobai's resentment towards Tang Rao didn't just build up in a day or two. Even Li Shengxuan, as a mother, couldn't understand why Xiao Bai was so mature, considering things that many adults wouldn't even think of.

"Son, who put these ideas in your head? Was it your godfather?"

The only person who could get along with Tang Xiaobai and make him listen would have to be Yan Wei, if such a person existed in this world.

Yan Wei had just modified the Illusion City's system. He originally intended to ask Tang Xiaobai for his opinion, but instead of getting that, he overheard Tang Rao blaming him.

"What do you mean I put those ideas in his head? Don't force your dirty thoughts onto us. The academic exchange between Xiao Bai and me is very innocent."

Yan Wei could ignore anything else, but he had to explain the situation with Tang Xiaobai.

His godson was naturally intelligent, and he thought further than others. If he ever said something to upset Tang Rao in the future, would Tang Rao blame Yan Wei again?

"Impossible. If it's not you, then who else could it be? My son has always been well-behaved. Ever since I allowed you, his godfather, to be around him all the time, my own son hardly recognizes me anymore, and now he's not satisfied with me at all."

The more Tang Rao spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. The more Yan Wei listened, the more exasperated he became. Was he really having a fair and just negotiation with Tang Rao? Clearly, it was Tang Rao's unilateral accusation against Yan Wei!

"Dad, don't blame everything on my godfather. You should admit your own mistakes!"

Tang Xiaobai jumped off Tang Rao and burrowed back into a pile of advanced technological toys, which might well be considered junk to continue his research.

After Tang Xiaobai left, Yan Wei didn't leave immediately. The Illusion City was still online, and he could still communicate directly with Tang Rao through the system.

"You're still here?"

Tang Rao had offended his son and his wife and was pondering how to earn their forgiveness. Why would an outsider like Yan Wei want to hear their private discussions?

"I actually came to talk to you. Since I have the time, I thought I should tell you about the situation on Blue Star."

Yan Wei suddenly became serious. At his indication, Tang Rao logged into the Illusion City, and once inside, Yan Wei displayed a big screen showing nine different scenes, each being broadcast live.

"With the increase of cultivators, Blue Star has essentially become dominated by them. People there are ignoring rules, seizing whatever they want with their power. Initially, these were minor issues, but over time, all of Blue Star has become chaotic. Even in country Z, the top position is being threatened by cultivators."

Blue Star is in chaos? Even the top position is under threat?

Tang Rao had anticipated that such problems might arise on Blue Star but didn't expect them to happen so quickly.

In just a few years, the number of cultivators on Blue Star has grown exponentially. People without spiritual power are oppressed by those who have it. No matter how much power and influence you possess, if you lack spiritual power, you'll never have the chance to rise again.

"Doesn't the top leader have many experts around him? Aren't they protecting him?"

Tang Rao couldn't understand why, as a ruler of a country, he couldn't even cultivate those around him for protection?

He was the core of a nation's power. If he couldn't even protect himself, how could the country be preserved?

"Of course, there are experts around the leader, but as you know, whether in the Land of Immortals or the Divine Realm, everything is about power. If you want wealth and power, you need strength. The rules of the Divine Realm are becoming increasingly applicable on Blue Star."

Yan Wei made a valid point. From several main screens, Tang Rao could already see the gravity of the situation.

Aside from country Z, other nations are also eyeing weaker countries with hostility. The balance that once existed as each country defended its bottom line is gradually breaking. If this continues, Blue Star will fall into chaos, and no one can predict when a new set of rules will emerge to manage the disorder.

"Things are chaotic down there, but that's not my concern. You're now living on the Moon, where you're in charge, if I remember correctly. Life on the Moon is much more comfortable than on Blue Star, with well-established welfare and legal systems. Why worry so much?"

Tang Rao was originally filled with sympathy, but then he realized he wasn't even there. Why should he worry about those things?

The people on Blue Star only live about a century. They can do whatever they want with their lives. Instead of meddling in Blue Star's affairs, Tang Rao thought it would be better to focus on his cultivation and aim to break through the great bottleneck to experience the power of a late-stage deity.

"Oh, although you make a very good point, I still need to remind you, Tang Renwang and Bai Yushu are reluctant to leave Blue Star, so they've stayed. Neither of them are cultivators. In the past, Tang Renwang could still make his voice heard and was quite an influential figure there, but things are different now. Tang Renwang's dynasty isn't as glorious as when you were there. Over the past few years, they've lost many big deals, and life isn't as easy for those two."

Tang Rao almost forgot about Tang Renwang and Bai Yushu. What kind of memory did he have?

"I remember they were doing well not long ago. How did things change so much all of a sudden?"

Tang Rao didn't have a particularly strong impression of Tang Renwang because he was always busy, and the little time he had left was spent with Bai Yushu. His love for Tang Rao was always expressed through giving and buying, while Bai Yushu... From the start, Tang Rao had always felt the meticulous love from Bai Yushu. Sometimes, Tang Rao would forget to care for Bai Yushu while studying, but Bai Yushu always remembered Tang Rao's return time and his favorite foods.

That's a mother's love, and Tang Rao understood it well. So when he heard that those two were not doing well, he naturally started thinking about the chaotic Blue Star.

"Brother, the 'not long ago' you're talking about is at least two years ago. A lot can happen in two years. Now, you should really think about whether you want to get involved in Blue Star's affairs."

Yan Wei had other matters to attend to and couldn't chat with Tang Rao indefinitely. He indirectly hinted at the situation and then logged off from the Illusion City. No matter how many messages Tang Rao sent, there was no reply from Yan Wei.
