Su Yan felt a little torn. Should he go find Dugu Yan next or not?
Of course, he should.
Dugu Bo's Immortal Herb wasn't that urgent; as long as he got it before Tang San, there wouldn't be a problem. He still had plenty of time. What mattered next were the rewards from the group chat's upgrade. If the rewards were good enough, then everything would be easy. But if the group chat rewards were just mediocre, he'd need to quickly get the Immortal Herb and rush through the novice period.
Around noon, Bibi Dong and the others were still bickering in the group chat. They wanted Bibi Dong to send a photo of herself, and she wanted to see who they were, too. No one ended up sending a selfie; instead, they just shared a bunch of food pictures.
After his Cultivation session, Su Yan arrived near the cafeteria early to walk around. Finally, he saw that pink figure.
Little white rabbit, so white and bright~
Two ears stand upright~
Loves to eat carrots, loves to eat greens~
Hopping and skipping, so cute and sweet~
"Little San!"
Xiao Wu saw Su Yan from a distance and happily ran over. She held out her arms to catch the Little Monkey, who jumped into her embrace, her face full of joy. The Little Monkey looked a bit confused, blinking its eyes, not understanding why its little friend was so happy.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but share her excitement. "Little San, from today on, whatever you want to eat, we'll eat it! I'll make sure you eat until you're stuffed every single day."
Su Yan stood by, silently cursing, "Damn little rabbit, you vile nouveau riche. Do you even know how to spend twenty thousand gold coins?" Su Yan pretended to be confused and asked, "Little rabbit, did you find some money?"
Xiao Wu looked at him, paused, and then replied, "How did you know I found money... Well, I really did find some money." She added with a grin, "Don't worry. If Sister Xiao Wu has something to eat, she won't forget about you."
Su Yan looked serious. "Really? Then lend me five hundred gold coins to show me your strength?"
Xiao Wu looked at Su Yan strangely when she heard that. She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "You wouldn't happen to be that Su Yan, would you?"
Su Yan shook his head, looking back at Xiao Wu with a bewildered expression. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu felt a bit doubtful that she had guessed wrong, but she still pulled Su Yan to a secluded spot and handed him two thousand gold coins directly. "This is Sister Xiao Wu's gift to you. No need to pay it back."
Good heavens.
Alright, alright.
Su Yan didn't stand on ceremony, immediately taking the gold coins and quietly slipping them into his spatial ring. Then he flattered her. "Sister Xiao Wu is truly righteous!"
It had to be said that even though Xiao Wu had obtained the gold coins from Su Yan's group chat, the money actually had little to do with him. This was the fee Ning Rongrong had given her to win her over. Xiao Wu being willing to let him use it was indeed quite righteous of her.
Su Yan was pretty satisfied with this. Seeing how generous you are, little rabbit, I can help you out in the future and won't let you sacrifice yourself to become a Spirit Ring or a pendant.
One person and one rabbit finished their private deal, then returned to the cafeteria to eat on the second floor.
In the shadows, Tang San watched the two of them being intimate from afar. His heart twisted as if stabbed by a knife.
Su Yan, oh, Su Yan!
Originally, out of consideration for being from the same hometown, I didn't plan to be too harsh, but you are truly too disrespectful. Is Xiao Wu someone you can covet? You have already sought your own demise...
That night, the friends in the group were all getting ready to rest when they saw Hu Liena send a message.
[Hu Liena: Teacher, I've arrived. You don't have to worry about my safety anymore.]
[Bibi Dong: ???]
[Bibi Dong: Where have you arrived?]
[Su Yan: Where did you go?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Where did you run off to?]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: Hu Liena, are you sure you can escape Bibi Dong's grasp?]
[Hu Liena: I, Hu Liena, absolutely won't stand by and watch Tang San rise, watching Tang San destroy our Spirit Hall, so I came out to find Xiao Xue.]
[I Am an Orphan: You're not stupid this time.]
At the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue's lips curved into a smile. Hu Liena being able to make a decisive move and rush over from Spirit City overnight showed that Hu Liena was not beyond saving. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, was truly beyond saving.
"Uncle She," Qian Renxue called out.
Uncle She's voice came from the darkness outside the window. "Young Lord, what are your orders?"
Qian Renxue whispered, "Hu Liena came from Spirit City to find me. Send our people to secretly meet her."
"Yes, Young Lord." Snake Lance Douluo was a bit surprised, but he didn't ask any questions.
[Bibi Dong: Hu Liena! Are you trying to rebel?! Get back to Spirit City immediately!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Hahaha!]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: It's over! It's over! Bibi Dong, your Disciple Hu Liena isn't going to protect you anymore. This is truly infuriating.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Hu Liena, calm down.]
[Group Member Number Nine: This group chat is getting more and more interesting.]
[Hu Liena: I, Hu Liena, swear to defend Teacher Bibi Dong to the death. Su Yan, are you there? If Xiao Xue doesn't believe me, what should I say to make her believe me?]
At Nuoding Academy, Su Yan was even more amused when he saw this. Don't believe her? Qian Renxue is probably already taking action by now. She's in the group, too! Can't she see such a big Orphan in here?
[Su Yan: Qian Renxue will believe you, but I still want to remind you all that Tang San isn't easy to kill. Tang San has Tang Hao secretly protecting him. Tang Hao's strength is absolutely not exaggerated.
The two Titled Douluo by Qian Renxue's side are definitely not enough to fight Tang Hao. Besides that, the Clear Sky Hammer's self-created Spirit Ability, Ring Explosion, is terrifying. Tang Hao's ninth Spirit Ring is a hundred-thousand-year one.
If he fights desperately and explodes all nine rings, he can unleash power close to that of a God. Of course, Tang Hao won't explode all nine rings unless he's pushed to a dead end, but even if he casually explodes a few rings, it's not something an ordinary Titled Douluo can resist. Remember to use your brain.] [Hu Liena: Okay, thank you. Teacher, I won't talk anymore. I'm going to find Xiao Xue now.]
[Bibi Dong: Hu Liena!!! Hu Liena, come back to me! Come back!]
In the Pontiff's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong was fuming with anger at that moment. Damn it! This little fox is too infuriating. Without saying a word to me, she actually ran to Heaven Dou City to find Xiao Xue? Do you still consider me your teacher? What are you protecting?! When you come back, I'll lock you in the secret chamber.
At the Crown Prince's Mansion, however, Qian Renxue was stunned.
Clear Sky Hammer?
Nine rings exploding simultaneously?
Power close to that of a God?
Damn it. How could there be such a huge obstacle?
Qian Renxue felt a bit irritable. If that was the case, with her current strength, she couldn't kill Tang San. She would need to mobilize the power of the Worship Hall.
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Is the Clear Sky Hammer's self-created Spirit Ability that powerful?]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: Ring Explosion?]
[Group Member Number Nine: No wonder the Clear Sky Sect is the number one Sect in the world, and the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one Tool Spirit in the world.]
[I Am an Orphan: Su Yan, can you briefly explain the Clear Sky Hammer again?]
