Chapter 178: Chapter 174: Departure

“You, do you have a penchant for forgetfulness?” Tang Luo smiled faintly, his voice laced with mockery. “Didn’t you request me to demonstrate how I’d take Li Shao Yuan’s life in front of you? So, are you satisfied with my performance?” The stormy look in Mi Shen’s eyes was darker than ever. Just as he was about to retort, he saw Mi Hou stepping forward, pointing at Tang Luo and cursing loudly, “Can’t you stand someone else having retainers?!”

Seeing the vibrantly furious Mi Hou, Tang Luo was nonplussed. He had anticipated various forms of verbal barbs, but this was one he didn’t see coming. For a moment, he was stupefied.

As Mi Hou frowned upon seeing Tang Luo’s blank expression, he thought he had already deduced what the other party was thinking. This realization brought him a sense of sorrow.

Being a prodigal son with a disregarding attitude towards his duties, Mi Hou had his own information network, known as insider gossips. These gossips were inclusive of everything – affairs of clan higher-ups, eccentric hobbies of famous experts, and most of them were idle chat among the various races.

Two years ago, a rumor circulated that Tang Luo’s first retainer had betrayed him. Enraged, he rode his Cloud Beast to chase after him, executing the traitor personally. From then on, he never took in any retainers again.

Although the reason for the defection was unclear, many people saw Tang Luo leaving Xiling town to chase after the traitor. This made the rumor more credible.

That was until last year, Tang Luo killed Mi Shen’s retainer, Zhang Xinghe, which led to a rumor saying that Tang Luo couldn’t stand others having outstanding retainers due to his own painful experience. If there was a slight conflict, he would not hesitate to strike ruthlessly.

These gossips, which painted Tang Luo as a mean-spirited person, were not widely believed. Even Mi Hou laughed it off when he heard it.

But now, after the exchange of hostages, he mercilessly made a move on Li Shao Yuan, which made Mi Hou realize that what seemed like an absurd rumor could very well be true.

“Just because your own retainer betrayed you and you didn’t recruit any others, why the hell did you have to kill my retainer?!” Mi Hou complained, his manor actually relied heavily on Li Shao Yuan’s strategies and planning. His other advisors were too inexperienced compared to Li Shao Yuan; not capable enough to handle significant tasks.

And now, Li Shao Yuan held a big plan connecting the four small families in West City. Although Mi Hou wasn’t keen on this matter from the beginning, it was extremely unpleasant to have such an operation abruptly interrupted.
