After this incident, the relationship between the two academies greatly improved.
Liu Erlong and Old Man Huo also apologized to each other for their impulsive behavior.
Among the group of outstanding students, the pairing of Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian drew considerable attention.
As the school's star and the senior sister of Chihuo Academy, Huo Wu was the dream goddess of Chihuo's male students.
Unexpectedly, she was actually taken by Shenfeng Academy's troublemaker.
Because of this, Feng Xiaotian was somewhat isolated within the harmonious group.
However, he didn't care at all.
Huo Wu had agreed to date him—that was enough. Why bother with those who were twisted and broken by jealousy?
On the way back to Heaven Dou City, Flender chatted with Old Man Huo.
As they talked, Flender frowned and expressed his doubts.
"Brother Huo, don't you think that soul beast was a bit strange?"
"What was strange about it?"
"Do you remember that beast knocked both of us off the cliff with a single blow?"
"Yes, I remember, brother. Honestly, when it struck me, I really thought my life was over. Ugh—"
When Old Man Huo recalled being swatted like a fly by that three-headed giant, he shivered.
Too terrifying!
The power gap was too great!
Flender continued.
"That's just it, brother. That beast had three minutes and forty-two seconds to kill us—why didn't it?"
"What's even weirder is that it clearly raised its foot to stomp you to death, but never brought it down."
"Just like…"
"Just like it was waiting for a Title Douluo to arrive and save us."
When he said this, Flender also wore an expression of disbelief.
The beast was so powerful it defeated them in a single hit without giving them a chance to fight back—but why didn't it kill them?
He couldn't figure it out.
After thinking carefully, Old Man Huo said hesitantly,
"Maybe it thought the meat of us two old men was too tough, and it was considering how to eat us."
Flender: "."
Old Man Huo, could you be more polite?
In the most prosperous district of Heaven Dou City—
In front of a five-story building with the plaque "Yuexuan", an unexpected visitor arrived.
Just as he was about to enter, the two young men guarding the door each raised a hand and politely stopped the tall boy.
"Hello, guest, do you have an appointment?"
"No."
"In that case, sorry, you cannot enter without an appointment."
"Then please inform them—I am the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaowei. I wish to see Tang Yuehua."
"Ah, this…"
The doormen exchanged surprised glances.
The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a status equivalent to that of a royal prince. There was no way they dared block Yu Xiaowei.
Besides, in Heaven Dou City, who would dare pretend to be a young master of that clan?
They immediately changed their attitude, respectfully gestured to the door, and said:
"Young Master, please come in. I will inform the general manager to receive you."
Yu Xiaowei nodded and entered the first-floor hall of Yuexuan with his hands behind his back.
It must be said, the style of Yuexuan's decoration was truly simple, luxurious, and tasteful.
The furnishings were basic, but all made of the finest materials.
Additionally, various orchids of many species were placed everywhere, filling the entire hall with a faint floral fragrance.
It was a perfect place for elegant leisure.
Before long, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from the stairs.
A man in purple descended with two young men in blue. Upon seeing Yu Xiaowei, the man in purple politely asked:
"I am Ode, manager of Yuexuan. Excuse me, are you the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Yu Xiaowei shrugged, pulled out a Six-Heaven Dou Emperor card belonging to Yu Yuanzhen, and waved it before Ode.
Ode no longer doubted him and motioned politely.
"Young Master, please move to a private room. I will go invite the young lady."
After entering the private room, Yu Xiaowei stopped Ode, who was about to leave.
"Oh, by the way, please tell Tang Yuehua this: Before the full moon rises, I vaguely remember an old friend."
"Understood. I will report to the lady now. Please wait a moment."
After Ode left, Yu Xiaowei crossed his legs comfortably and sipped the precious Yuexuan tea.
Soon, the door to the private room opened, and a beautiful, elegant woman who looked around 27 or 28 entered gracefully.
She walked with poise, sat in front of Yu Xiaowei, and asked coldly:
"I'm curious, why is the young master looking for me?"
Yu Xiaowei set down his tea, looked at Tang Yuehua—who bore a slight resemblance to Tang San—and smiled innocently.
"Tang Yuehua, daughter of Tang Zhen of the Clear Sky Sect. Your eldest brother is Douluo Tang Xiao, your second brother is Haotian Douluo Tang Hao."
"Did you know? The Spirit Hall is currently hunting down members of your Clear Sky Sect across the world."
"But I bet they never imagined that the legitimate daughter of the Clear Sky Sect is right under their nose in Heaven Dou City."
Tang Yuehua's face changed drastically.
She had lived quietly in Heaven Dou City for years. Countless nobles had passed through her halls, and she had taught many of their children.
Yet no one ever discovered she was a legitimate daughter of the Clear Sky Sect.
How could this boy, clearly no older than fifteen, know?
Tang Yuehua feigned composure and forced a smile.
"Young Master, you jest. My surname may be Tang, but how could I be related to the famous Clear Sky Sect?"
"Besides, I'm merely a rank-nine Spirit Master. How could the Clear Sky Sect produce such trash?"
"Heh," Yu Xiaowei sneered.
Tang Yuehua's reaction was as he expected. A woman who had navigated Heaven Dou's power circles for years wouldn't admit her identity so easily.
But he had a powerful trump card.
He took out a spirit guide he had used for recording and lightly pressed it.
Under Tang Yuehua's bewildered gaze, a commanding voice rang out from the device:
"Chrysanthemum freak, little demon—how dare you hurt my son!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Tang Yuehua trembled, and tears instantly welled in her eyes. She covered her mouth with one hand, suppressing the urge to cry.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaowei smiled and turned off the spirit guide.
"Did you recognize the voice?"
"Now, I want to use your second brother's safety in exchange for a favor. How about it?"
"Where is my second brother?!"
Unable to maintain her elegant composure, Tang Yuehua rushed at Yu Xiaowei, grabbing his collar and shouting.
Yu Xiaowei spread his hands and said calmly:
"Did you feel the tremor in Heaven Dou City two days ago? That was from the battle when Tang Hao was besieged by six Title Douluo."
"Well, he's now staying with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, recovering."
"As for you, help me with a few small things, and when the job is done, I'll return Tang Hao to you."
"How about it? A good deal. You lose nothing."
"Just like your second brother, Aunt Tang—Yue—Hua."
With that, Tang Yuehua staggered backward, collapsed into a chair, and her face turned pale.
How did he know all this?
Could it be… her second brother really was in his hands?
