Chapter 67: Tang Hao Enters Tian Dou City
Chapter 67: Tang Hao Enters Tian Dou City
"Do you see that? It's this person. He wounded Big Brother Tai with a snap of his fingers yesterday."
"He looks gentle and weak, but he's actually so fierce?"
"Hiss, that's terrifying."
"Forget about being terrifying; remember the new ice-cold beauty in the academy, and whatever you do, don't touch her."
As Qin Xiao entered the Blue Tyrant Academy, he could hear many students whispering to each other.
Many of them even glanced at Qin Xiao and quickly averted their gaze.
"Do I look that scary?"
Qin Xiao touched his nose, feeling like he had become some kind of fearsome demon in their eyes.
Qin Xiao knew that this was just the beginning. As news of the destruction of the Strength Clan by the Power Clan spread, the number of people who feared him would only increase.
Soon, not only would there be whispers, but in places where he was present, there should be no strangers daring to approach.
After wandering around the academy for a while, Qin Xiao found it quite dull and decided to return to his residence.
He had said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. Now, all he had to do was wait.
"Your Highness."
Suddenly, not far in front of Qin Xiao, a pleasant voice rang out.
Qin Xiao looked over, and there was Zhu Zhuqing, wearing a black short skirt.
Qin Xiao had to admit that her outfit made him take notice.
Her fair and delicate legs and her well-proportioned figure made her look even more enchanting and seductive, like an ice-cold beauty.
"Do you know I would come back?"
Qin Xiao asked curiously.
"I didn't know, but I've been waiting here since you left this morning."
"This is the only way for you to return to your residence, so I knew I would definitely catch you here."
Facing Qin Xiao's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing became somewhat unable to meet his eyes, and her voice grew quieter.
By the end, she was speaking so softly that if it weren't for Qin Xiao's high cultivation level and strong physique, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.
So, she had waited for so long.
Qin Xiao said, "Come with me."
With that, he walked forward.
Zhu Zhuqing obediently followed.
Qin Xiao didn't notice that a meaningful smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's lips.
"Your Highness seems to be spending more time watching yourself today."
"It looks like my choice was correct."
"Boss, boss."
"Everyone's gone."
In the shade of the trees further away, Ma Hongjun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's empty pupils gradually showed signs of life.
His face, which had been numb, also began to display emotions.
That emotion was anger.
"In the past, it was fine at Shrek Academy, but now that we're in the Blue Tyrant Academy with so many people, and Qin Xiao and Zhu Zhuqing are behaving like this, isn't it too much?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth.
"Too much? Don't you think so?"
"Boss, it's not for me to say, but look on the bright side. What they do willingly has nothing to do with us."
"I think it's a bit much to spy on them here today, but luckily, Qin Xiao didn't notice us, or the consequences would be unimaginable."
Ma Hongjun recalled what Flender had told him earlier this morning and shuddered.
A family with a powerful Soul Douluo at the helm had been wiped out by Qin Xiao.
Now that he saw Qin Xiao, he wished he could just avoid him.
What do you mean, "willingly"?
What do you mean, "it has nothing to do with us"?
Dai Mubai was so angry that he felt like biting his teeth into pieces.
How can I just let it go?
"Boss, I'm going to find my teacher."
Ma Hongjun said and ran off eagerly.
On the other side.
In a room.
Qin Xiao looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked in a deep voice, "Are you ready?"
"Your Highness, I'm ready. Please proceed."
Zhu Zhuqing tightly bit her lip.
"Good, then here I go."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and snapped his fingers. A surge of electricity struck Zhu Zhuqing.
Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing fell onto the bed, her body spasming.
During their time at Shrek Academy, Qin Xiao had promised to help Zhu Zhuqing with her cultivation.
One day, if Zhu Zhuqing couldn't defeat Dai Mubai, the day wouldn't end.
Not even a moment passed.
A slightly ambiguous voice emanated from the small room.
"This is."
Outside the room, Dean Liu's hand was about to knock on Qin Xiao's door but froze in place.
A soft sound.
A blush appeared on her face, extending all the way to her ears.
"Now, if I go in, don't you think it might not just be about Xiao Gang's matter, but you'll probably end up offending Qin Xiao completely?"
"But isn't this a bit too much even for broad daylight? It's really embarrassing!"
Even the fiery and straightforward Dean Liu had her defenses broken.
Rarely, she displayed a shy expression.
Then, she stepped aside and waited obediently.
One hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Three hours passed.
As the day grew late, Dean Liu's expression gradually changed.
"Is it already dark?"
"Is this still a person?"
Creak.
After a while, the door finally opened.
Qin Xiao stepped out.
"How is she doing?"
Dean Liu asked with some sympathy.
She couldn't imagine the torment the girl in the room had gone through.
Qin Xiao replied, "She's exhausted and has fallen asleep."
"What you're doing will harm her."
After thinking it over, Dean Liu gathered her courage and said in a serious tone.
As a woman, she felt the need to intervene in this matter.
In response, Qin Xiao furrowed her brow and asked, "Dean Liu, are you questioning my abilities?"
"Abilities?" Dean Liu was taken aback and then spoke firmly, "No matter how good your abilities are, over time, they can still have problems."
"Oh, you're wrong about that. Not only are there no problems, but she also has a lot of benefits!"
"What a joke! I don't believe a word you say," Dean Liu retorted.
"You haven't experienced it firsthand, so how can you say it's impossible?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said impatiently.
Ding ding ding.
After listening to Qin Xiao, Dean Liu staggered back several steps, as if struck by lightning.
Qin Xiao's words had completely thrown her into confusion.
"Qin Xiao, is this your way of confiding in me, giving me a hint?"
"But I wasn't prepared for this at all."
Dean Liu had dressed up like this to have a conversation with Qin Xiao. Previously, when Qin Xiao asked what she was willing to sacrifice, she thought that as long as it didn't cross certain boundaries, she could accept it. However, she didn't expect Qin Xiao to be so recklessly pushing her limits.
"You, you..."
Dean Liu pondered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Then she saw Qin Xiao stomping her foot in frustration and running away.
"What did I say?" Qin Xiao was left bewildered.
"It's dark already, and Dean Liu hasn't come back yet."
On the other side, in a small grove, Flender's face darkened with the fading daylight.
His mindset was starting to crumble.
"Teacher, don't worry. Is it possible that Dean Liu and Qin Xiao are simply engrossed in their conversation and lost track of time?"
Ma Hongjun cautiously suggested.
"Normally, I might believe that, but as you've said, Dean Liu is already wearing her battle attire. Can I still believe that?"
Flender looked at Ma Hongjun and continued, "Besides, you don't know how Dean Liu feels about Yu Xiaogang. She can do anything."
As he spoke, bitterness filled his heart.
Erlong, if there's a problem, why don't we find a solution together? Why do you have to go down this irreversible path? Yu Xiaogang really doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
The more Flender thought about it, the more he resented it.
He didn't hate Qin Xiao, he didn't hate Dean Liu, he only hated Yu Xiaogang.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang being such a waste, Dean Liu would never have gone to plead with Qin Xiao.
"Dean, you must stay strong!"
At this moment, Zhao Wujia's large hand landed on Flender's shoulder.
He looked at Flender with a sympathetic and somewhat understanding expression.
Comparatively, Flender felt much better when he thought about Dai Mubai's situation.
This kid has it worse than me.
"Let's go, today we'll have a drink in Tian Dou City, my treat."
After saying this, Flender walked away from the academy with a sense of dejection.
Time passed swiftly, and three days flew by.
To Qin Xiao's surprise, these days were unusually calm.
There was no news from the Tian Dou Royal Family, and neither Xue Qinghe nor Xue Beng attempted to recruit her. It seemed that Dean Liu had also given up on helping Yu Xiaogang.
Even Flender and Qin Xiao hadn't been seen for three days.
Zhao Wujia, on the other hand, informed Qin Xiao that Flender hadn't returned for three days.
But life seemed to be treating her well.
Qin Xiao was taken aback. Had Flender suddenly had a change of heart and decided not to hang himself on a single tree?
But what had happened to make him undergo such a significant transformation?
"Dad, is this Tian Dou City?"
"It's so big, much larger than Soto City."
On the other side, outside Tian Dou City, Tang San looked at the magnificent city and said, "Forget it, there's no comparison."
"Haha, it seems like bringing you to Tian Dou City was the right choice. Only by broadening your horizons can you broaden your mind."
Tang Hao laughed beside Tang San. "When we have the chance, I'll take you to Wuhun City to see something truly spectacular."
"Really?"
Tang San's eyes lit up.
"Of course."
Tang Hao said as he ruffled Tang San's hair, "But remember, whether it's Tian Dou City or Wuhun City, they can't compare to the grandeur of our Haotian Sect's gate."
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt a deep yearning. "I wonder if we'll have a chance to return to the sect one day."
"I'm sure we'll have the chance to return to the sect."
Tang Hao's voice was firm. "You're a genius with twin martial souls, and your future is limitless. Even those elders in the sect, despite their conservative nature, understand the value of twin martial souls. If you decide to return to the sect, they won't refuse."
Tang San was surprised and asked, "What about you, Dad?"
"Me?"
Tang Hao smiled, "After you return to the sect, you'll undoubtedly become one of the main pillars of the sect, and even inheriting the position of sect master is not out of the question. Whether I return to the Haotian Sect or not is up to you."
"Of course, in the future, the elders of the sect may even come to beg me to return to the sect."
Tang San's eyes brightened, "Dad, according to what you're saying, there shouldn't be any problems. As long as the elders of the Haotian Sect aren't foolish, they should know what choices to make."
"Haha."
Tang Hao couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, he even felt that Tang Xiao's death might not be such a bad thing for him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to ask around up ahead."
Tang Hao said, pulling Tang San along as they walked towards Tian Dou City.
After a while.
Inside Tian Dou City, Tang Hao and Tang San stood outside the residence of the Strength Clan.
"What's going on here? Has someone died or something?"
Tang Hao suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Hey, the customs in Tian Dou City are really strange. There are two big white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the residence."
Tang San observed for a while and said in confusion.
Tang Hao's face changed, and he scolded, "Little San, don't talk nonsense. This isn't a custom, it means someone important in the residence has passed away."
"What? Someone has died?"
Tang San was surprised and asked, "Dad, could it be a Titan?"
"Haha, of course not, the Titans are incredibly powerful. How could they just die like that?"
Tang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Although that Titan may have a bad temper, his strength is at the rank 86 Title Douluo level. Even a true Title Douluo would think twice before trying to assassinate him. Besides, he has the background of the Haotian Sect, so even if a real Title Douluo wanted to kill him, they would have to weigh the consequences."
"Let's go, I'll take you to inquire."
Tang Hao said, pulling Tang San forward.
Dang dang dang.
He lightly knocked on the door latch.
"Who's there?"
Tang San and Tang Hao could hear someone inside the mansion.
Creak.
The heavy door was pushed open, and a stale odor filled the air.
The person inside was an old man dressed in white.
He was the steward of the mansion.
He asked in confusion, "May I ask if you have also come to pay your respects?"
To be honest, he was quite surprised.
The Strength Clan had a reputation.
But either the young master bullied the weak or the old master disregarded his dignity to bully the younger generation; in short, there was not much good to be said.
So they didn't have many friends.
Today, two people suddenly appeared, which pleasantly surprised him.
Tang Hao furrowed his brow, "We won't go in. Let Titan come out and speak."
In fact, he was quite dissatisfied.
The master had arrived, and he still didn't come out to greet him?
Did he forget the rules?
