Chapter 65: Zhao Wuji's Thanks, Tang Hao's Arrangement
In the room.
After listening to Qin Xiao's words, Liu Erlong's breath suddenly stagnated.
She could feel a tremendous force of will pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
This also made her realize that the person in front of her was not a student from her Blue Tyrant Academy but a terrifying powerhouse with the title of Douluo.
"Your Highness, Erlong didn't mean to offend," Liu Erlong said with difficulty. "I have something else to convey."
As her voice fell, Qin Xiao lightly exclaimed.
The terrifying pressure disappeared in an instant.
"What else is there? You even had Dean Liu personally deliver it?" Qin Xiao asked with curiosity.
"It's Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire. He invites you to meet at the Moon Pavilion at noon today," Liu Erlong said, taking out an invitation from her spatial soul device and handing it to Qin Xiao.
Xue Qinghe! Qin Xiao could clearly see the three imposing characters written on the invitation.
Taking the invitation, Qin Xiao smiled at Liu Erlong. "Thank you for your trouble."
However, Liu Erlong still stood in place, seemingly not intending to leave.
"Do you have anything else, Dean Liu?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
Liu Erlong, who was usually straightforward, showed an unusual look of hesitation on her face. She kept twirling her hair with her fingers and tightly pursed her lips.
After a moment, she finally spoke, "Your Highness, I heard from Flender that you have a secret technique that can unlock a person's hidden potential."
"That's correct," Qin Xiao nodded.
"I have a friend who has been unable to break through the bottleneck of the thirtieth-level soul power. Is there any hope for him to achieve his wish through this method?" Liu Erlong asked, anxiously looking at Qin Xiao.
Her friend mentioned by Liu Erlong was probably the invincible theoretical master, Yu Xiaogang, right? Qin Xiao speculated.
"Some things, you won't know for sure until you try," he said casually.
"Well, if Your Highness is willing to help, what kind of price would be required?" Liu Erlong asked, her gaze fixed nervously on Qin Xiao.
Price? Hearing this, Qin Xiao chuckled.
He stood up and walked step by step towards Liu Erlong. On the other hand, Liu Erlong's eyes showed a hint of panic, and she instinctively took steps backward.
Thunk.
The table in the room shook slightly.
It was at this moment that Liu Erlong realized that she had retreated as far as she could go, and her hips were pressed against the table.
"This..." She felt a little flustered.
However, the next moment, a large hand gently lifted her chin.
Qin Xiao's gaze met Liu Erlong's directly.
"If you want me to help, you shouldn't ask what you can get from me," he said. "Instead, you should ask yourself what you're willing to give."
The distance between Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong was very close. His breath, like a scorching current, blew on Liu Erlong's face.
Qin Xiao could clearly see a flash of panic in Liu Erlong's eyes, which quickly turned into anger.
"Your Highness, please behave yourself," Liu Erlong said, turning her head to the side.
"Hahaha," Qin Xiao laughed.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to control Liu Erlong, who was known for her fiery temper and strong character.
"Dean Liu, what I want, you can't give. You can only see if there's something that can move me."
In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiao had already left the room.
But his voice continued to echo in Liu Erlong's ears.
Sighing, Liu Erlong let out a long breath.
"After spending some time with Qin Xiao, I feel more exhausted than if I had been in a battle."
When she remembered Qin Xiao's words, her expression became extremely complicated.
"Xiaogang, what should I do to get him to help you?"
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Qin Xiao walked out of the room, he heard someone calling from behind.
He didn't need to turn around; he could tell it was Zhao Wuji from the voice alone.
He waited in place for a moment, and Zhao Wuji came to Qin Xiao's side.
However, what surprised Qin Xiao was that Zhao Wuji's eyes were now bloodshot, and there were faint traces of tears in them.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Xiao asked.
Plop!
To Qin Xiao's surprise, Zhao Wuji actually knelt down in front of him.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Old Zhao? Did you take the wrong medicine today? If you have something to say, just stand up."
"No!"
"Your Highness, let me kneel to you again," Zhao Wuji said and, without hesitation, banged his head against the ground.
Qin Xiao was taken aback. "Is it New Year's today? Do I need to give you a red envelope?"
Zhao Wuji: ~(ー~).
"Your Highness, you've misunderstood," Zhao Wuji raised his head and, seeing that there was no one around, explained to Qin Xiao, "Your Highness, I received news yesterday that the Strength Clan was annihilated. I rushed to the scene as soon as I could. After examining the wounds on the old orangutan's body, I knew that it was your doing."
"Maybe it's nothing to you, perhaps it's not much more difficult than squashing a fly. But for me, it's of great significance. You might not know, but I've dreamt of killing that arrogant and shameless old orangutan for years."
"Originally, with my own strength, there was no hope in this lifetime. The only way to seek revenge was to outlive him. But unexpectedly, you took care of him, and in my heart, there's just one word—awesome!"
"Is that all?" Qin Xiao suddenly remembered that in the original story, Zhao Wuji had been pursued by the Tai Tan. Escaping with his life was already a great achievement.
Upon hearing that a formidable enemy had been eliminated, Zhao Wuji's excitement was quite normal.
"Get up now. I thought you were asking me for a red envelope," Qin Xiao said dismissively.
"Hehe, Your Highness, your words are quite amusing," Zhao Wuji first smiled, but soon his expression turned serious as he said, "Your Highness, your great kindness today will never be forgotten by Old Zhao. If you ever need my assistance in the future, even if it means going through fire and water, I won't frown."
"I'll remember that," Qin Xiao nodded. "But for now, let's talk while standing."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji quickly got up. At the same time, he subconsciously glanced around and didn't see any unfamiliar faces.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Qin Xiao teased, "Now you care about saving face?"
Immediately, Zhao Wuji looked embarrassed.
In the heart of the Star Dou Forest.
Tang San sat by the side of the Life Pool, which looked like a sapphire, his eyes somewhat distant.
His thoughts seemed to have drifted somewhere else.
"Little San, why aren't you practicing today? What are you thinking about?" Xiao Wu, dressed in a pink dress, walked over from a distance and asked with curiosity.
"Ah," Tang San returned to his senses, glanced at Xiao Wu, and said somewhat worriedly, "Xiao Wu, you also know how powerful Qin Xiao is. I don't know how my dad is doing now, whether he's killed Qin Xiao to avenge Second Elder."
"Little San, don't worry. Clear Sky Douluo is one of the most outstanding talents on the Douluo Continent, and the Clear Sky Clan is one of the strongest sects. With the two of them joining forces, dealing with Qin Xiao should be a piece of cake."
Xiao Wu spoke with unwavering confidence.
"Yeah, my uncle is the Clear Sky Clan's Lord, and according to my dad's speculation, he's at least a ninety-fifth-level Titled Douluo. With both of them teaming up, it should be easy to deal with Qin Xiao unless he grows three heads and six arms and becomes invincible."
Tang San nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face. "I was overthinking it."
However.
Just as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the pool.
Then, with a boom, a column of water shot up into the sky.
The colossal figure of the Azure Bull Python was revealed within the water column.
"Da Ming, what's going on?" Xiao Wu's expression changed, and the Azure Bull Python's actions gave her an extremely uneasy feeling.
"I can sense a powerful aura rushing straight towards the depths of the Star Dou Forest!" Da Ming's voice was extremely loud, echoing throughout the entire Life Pool.
"This is bad!" Tang San's expression changed drastically. "Xiao Wu, I'm afraid Qin Xiao is rushing in to kill us!"
In his understanding, the only person who could be this aggressive was Qin Xiao.
Similarly, he was also most afraid of Qin Xiao's arrival.
"Humph, look at how timid you are?" Da Ming sneered at Tang San disdainfully. "The aura is somewhat similar to yours. It seems you have some connections."
Ah! This! Tang San's face turned ugly. He never expected that one day he would be mocked and looked down upon by a beast!
Humph! So it's the Azure Bull Python!
In the future, I will make you pay for today's humiliation twice over!
"Little San, do you think it's possible that the person they mentioned is the Clear skyDouluo? He has already dealt with Qin Xiao and is now coming to take us back?"
At this moment, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she speculated.
"It's hard to say," Tang San shook his head at first and then nodded, "But it should be a friend, not an enemy!"
Huff, huff, huff.
After a while, there was a sonic boom by the shore of the Life Pool.
A burly figure appeared by the Life Pool.
His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered.
He looked like a beggar by the roadside, with no distinguishing features.
However, his aura was impossible to ignore.
Arrogant, domineering.
Giving people a sense of "who dares to cSectenge me?"
"Dad, you... you've finally come!"
Tang San looked at the sudden appearance of the figure with joy in his eyes, then ran over to him in a flash.
"Da Ming, don't be nervous. This is the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, and also Little San's father."
Xiao Wu reassured Da Ming.
Upon hearing this, Da Ming remained silent.
However, his eyes were fixed on Tang Hao.
In his perception, humans were not to be trusted.
"Little San, how have you been during this time?"
At this moment, Tang Hao embraced Tang San.
Tang San shook his head, "I've been having a tough time. I was worried about your safety and about that damn guy Qin Xiao. But now that you're here, I feel relieved. Dad, can you tell me about Qin Xiao's miserable state before he died? Even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, hearing you describe it would make me feel happy."
Tang San looked at Tang Hao with anticipation.
In contrast, Tang Hao looked bewildered.
What was Tang San talking about, asking me to describe Qin Xiao's state before he died? I want to, but Qin Xiao hasn't died.
"What?!"
"Qin Xiao didn't die? How is that possible?"
Tang San's face showed disbelief, and then he showed anger. "Does that mean Uncle Tang Xiao didn't care about brotherhood and didn't help you?"
That was the only possibility he could think of.
"He did help..."
After hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao said with a bitter smile, "When I went to Tang Xiao to seek help, he agreed without hesitation, but there were some issues with the subsequent actions. In the end, your Uncle Tang Xiao died tragically at the hands of Qin Xiao, and I barely escaped."
Tang Hao explained, recalling the battle with Qin Xiao, which still sent shivers down his spine.
Qin Xiao was just too powerful.
Qin Xiao's strength was simply overwhelming, and if it weren't for his big brother Tang Xiao's sacrifice to protect him, Tang Hao believed he would have been ashes by now.
"What?!"
"Even with two Titled Douluos from the Clear sky Sect, they couldn't defeat Qin Xiao? One of them even died?"
"How can Qin Xiao be so strong? Who will be able to deal with him in the future?"
Not only Tang San, but Xiao Wu was also shocked by this revelation.
Subconsciously, she thought of Er Ming.
And she looked at Da Ming.
She couldn't help but wonder if Da Ming was also in danger.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have brought Tang San to hide in the Star Dou Forest."
"Er Ming is already gone, and if Da Ming is killed by me too, my life won't be enough to compensate for them."
Xiao Wu regretted it.
If she had known, she wouldn't have run away. She could have faced Qin Xiao head-on with Tang San and given him one soul bone and one soul ring at most.
It would have been unstoppable now.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, this time, you've really provoked a formidable enemy."
Even Da Ming, the Azure Bull Python, understood Tang Hao's words and realized that their enemy was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"Dad, what should we do next?"
Tang San believed that if Tang Hao had come to find him, he must have a plan.
"Staying in the Star Dou Forest all the time is not a solution. You're a Soul Master, and the Soul Master Academy is where you should be right now."
Tang Hao said in a serious tone.
"So, do I have to go to Shrek Academy?" Tang San frowned and asked in disbelief.
"Shrek? That was a good place for you back then. If it weren't for Qin Xiao, you would have risen with Shrek, and you would have gained a lot of help in the future."
"But it's a pity that everything was disrupted by Qin Xiao's appearance, and it ruined the scene I had carefully created."
Tang Hao couldn't help but feel annoyed when he brought up the matter.
In fact, it all started because of this.
"So, where should I go then?" Tang San furrowed his brow, asking in confusion.
"Go to the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City. There are many academies there, and it shouldn't be difficult to find one where you can learn about being a Soul Master."
"Heaven Dou City?" Tang San was quite surprised.
"In Heaven Dou City, I still have some connections."
Tang Hao nodded heavily and continued, "The loyal members of the Clear Sky Clan have been developing there. The Titan of the Clear Sky Clan is an 86th-level Soul Douluo, with combat power comparable to a Titled Douluo. You can rest assured in front of him."
