Chapter 1382 - 1381: Selective Amnesia
"Aren't you trying to wake him up? Such a simple matter, yet you made me come all the way here. Don't joke like this again next time, okay?"Tang Rao was calm and composed; he had never feared An Sheng. After all, when he let An Sheng inhale that bottle of medicine, he had already erased a part of An Sheng's memories.
"Tang Rao, please wait a moment."
Tang Rao knew that An Heng was still uneasy. An Heng must wait until An Sheng speaks the 'truth' before he dares to let Tang Rao return to the Kao Shan Sect.
"No problem, no problem, you don't need to treat me to a meal. I'm really not concerned about such things."
Treat to a meal?
An Heng sneered inwardly; there was no meal, and if An Sheng were to reveal a 'truth' different from Tang Rao's, then he could surely let Tang Rao feast on his fists.
"You want the truth, right? Now that my son is awake, it's time for me to clear your name."
Whether to clear the name, no one can really say for sure. The real focus is whether An Sheng will have some explosive revelations later.
Tang Rao was well aware of An Heng's thoughts.
"Ah, how could I almost forget about this matter? I haven't even fought for my fairness, so I can't leave yet."
"Father, what fairness are you talking about?"
An Sheng felt at a loss, not knowing how he had fainted.
"Why am I at home? Wasn't I on a mission with Ke Xin outside?"
This memory-washing medicine is indeed effective; Granny Hua must be doing such immoral things all the time, which is why she developed this poison and passed it to Tang Rao to continue the trick.
"A mission? Then do you remember this person?"
An Heng pointed at Tang Rao for him to identify.
"I vaguely remember getting injured, going to many places, but couldn't find anyone to detoxify me. The elder of the Zhang Family mentioned there was someone named Tang Rao who could help, so Zhang Kexin took me there. Just when we arrived at a place called the Kao Shan Sect, I fainted, and afterward, I remember nothing."
An Sheng didn't mention the unpleasant topic between him and Tang Rao.
"An Family Master, are you disappointed that not only is there no hatred between me and your son, but I actually became his savior?"
Tang Rao spread his hands with an expression of helplessness.
"If something like this happened in my family, I would be anxious too. But now that the truth is revealed, aren't you missing a thank you and an apology?"
Thank Tang Rao for saving his son, apologize for coming to him, and for the destruction of Tang Rao's protective array in Zijing City.
In any case, Tang Rao considered it reasonable.
"Thank you for saving my son. I apologize for my actions. However, I hope you can help clear the remaining poison from my son, and no matter how much money you need, I'll comply."
An Heng had said before that he only had this one son. If something happened to his son, he, an old man without descendants, would find no meaning in life.
"Your entire fortune."
Tang Rao thought for a moment before quoting a number to An Heng.
"Entire fortune? Are you joking?"
An Heng had never seen someone as audacious as Tang Rao.
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
Tang Rao walked out gracefully, and An Heng did not stop him.
As long as An Sheng can wake up, he's not afraid there won't be someone capable of breaking the mixed poison liquid Tang Rao placed on An Sheng.
"Will you really agree to his condition? Your father certainly won't agree."
The old woman easily knows that An Heng's father won't use the entire An Family fortune to please a glib-tongued person.
"I know, which is why I let him leave."
An Heng was also helpless. He glanced back at An Sheng, who was completely unaware of what had transpired.
An Sheng felt the same.
His mind was missing things, missing many memories, and those lost memories gave him a nauseating feeling. Since he couldn't remember, he decided not to dwell on it.
An Heng was kneeling outside the Practice Room.
This was already the third message from the person inside the Practice Room.
"Family Head, why don't you leave first? The old master is trying to breakthrough to the peak of the Higher God stage. If someone outside disrupts his thoughts, this breakthrough won't succeed, and he'll have to wait another ten years."
The old housekeeper, who had long accompanied the old master, felt a bit heartbroken seeing An Heng kneeling for so long. That's why he came out for the third time to persuade him not to do anything futile.
"No, I must wait for the old master to come out."
Aside from being An Heng's son, An Sheng was also the old master's only grandson, so the old master could not possibly ignore it.
"Young Master, you really don't need to insist anymore. If the old master were able to come out, would he have waited this long? After the old master completes his breakthrough to the peak of the Higher God stage, I'll inform you, alright?"
The old housekeeper was doing this for An Heng's good. It seemed that the old master must have said something to the old housekeeper, which is why he sincerely told him some things, but the old housekeeper did not immediately reveal why.
"Then I bid farewell first. Please inform my father that An Sheng's life is in danger and the An Family is on the brink of having no successors."
The old housekeeper nodded, promising to convey the message. Only then did An Heng rise from the ground, brush off the dirt from his knees, and continue thinking about how to persuade Tang Rao to detoxify An Sheng.
"Tang Rao, did the An Family truly not trouble you? Let me see if you were tortured by that freak An Sheng."
Tang Rao swaggered to the Zhang Family after leaving theirs. Zhang Kexin knew of Tang Rao's arrival and rushed to the door to welcome him.
"Hmm, naturally there's no problem at all."
Arrogant!
But Zhang Kexin liked it.
Just hearing Tang Rao talk about the situation on the An Family's side, Zhang Kexin found it incredibly satisfying.
"Making An Sheng pretend to be refined and cultured all the time, thank goodness I'm smart enough to see through his intentions early on; otherwise, I might have been deceived by that beast in human clothing."
Zhang Kexin was with An Sheng due to friendship, but An Sheng approached Zhang Kexin with only one goal: to sleep with her.
"Hmm, you're the smartest. You saw through someone's ill intentions long ago; you just didn't want to expose it."
Whatever Zhang Kexin said, Tang Rao echoed. As the conversation went on, Zhang Kexin herself felt embarrassed to continue.
"Tang Rao, are you here to see my grandfather? He isn't home right now, but I've already told him everything that happened today. He said he needs to gather some reinforcements; the An Family isn't easy to deal with."
Tang Rao would never believe that the old master would utter 'gather reinforcements.' At most, he might say to invite someone over for discussion. Once at the Zhang Family, if there were trouble, as a friend, you'd naturally extend a helping hand, right?
"When will the old master return? I have something important to discuss with him, and if delayed for long, the Zhang Family will be in trouble."
First, making the matter seem severe and complicated to scare Zhang Kexin a bit and create a sense of tension.
