A Man's Children Have Fortunes of Their Own, Tang Hao Ran Away?!

Light Feather Douluo's eyes flashed as he looked toward a tavern in the distance. Tang Hao was inside.

He was in no hurry to make a move, however.

Tang Hao's strength went without saying. He was known as the continent's foremost strength-type Soul Master.

So many years had passed that even Light Feather Douluo couldn't say how strong Tang Hao had become. If they really fought, it was still uncertain who would win.

On his way here, he had already told the people at the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City to send word to Spirit City.

"Just wait."

A cold smile hung on Light Feather Douluo's lips. Then he recalled that the Qi of Soul Power from earlier had come from somewhere not far from Tang San, and a great many things suddenly fell into place.

"I was wondering how a place like Holy Soul Village could produce someone with Twin Martial Souls. So that's how it is."

"In that case, that boy Tang San's Second Martial Soul should be the Clear Sky Hammer."

"But as for Xiao Xue..."

The thought of Qian Renxue gave Light Feather Douluo a headache.

From the looks of it, Qian Renxue had set her heart on Tang San and wouldn't let anyone else lay a hand on him.

After thinking it over for a long time, Light Feather Douluo still didn't know how best to handle it.

At last, he sighed.

"Forget it. Once the news gets out, the Great Enshrined will probably come. I'll let him decide for himself."

Inside a tavern not far away.

A dispirited man with hair like a chicken's nest and filthy, disheveled black clothes was pouring great gulps of liquor down his throat.

Ignoring the disgusted looks of those around him, he drank cup after cup, conflict and fear in his eyes.

The dispirited man was none other than the renowned Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!

"Why would someone from Spirit Hall come to Nuoding City?"

When Light Feather Douluo arrived in Nuoding City, Tang Hao had sensed his presence and discovered that his target was Tang San.

He thought he had been exposed and had nearly fled on the spot.

Only after discovering that Light Feather Douluo had come for Tang San did Tang Hao hide nearby.

After all, Tang San was his son.

If Light Feather Douluo tried to harm Tang San, Tang Hao would fight to the death to protect him.

But to Tang Hao's surprise, Light Feather Douluo had actually come to recruit Tang San!

His thoughts instantly tangled into a knotted mess.

"That doesn't make sense... Light Feather Douluo should have sensed my presence too. He should know Little San is my son, so why would he still want to recruit Little San into Spirit Hall?"

Tang Hao muttered to himself, his alcohol-numbed mind in chaos.

"Could it be that Spirit Hall doesn't care about that?"

He was torn, unsure what to do.

"Qian Daoliu is probably already on his way. Either I take Little San and run, or I let him join Spirit Hall. That way, Little San's life can be spared too."

Having been Spirit Hall's opponent before, Tang Hao understood how they did things and knew that Qian Daoliu wouldn't take his anger out on Tang San.

Besides, Tang Hao had observed the blonde girl earlier. Her feelings for Tang San didn't seem fake, and no matter how he looked at it, she didn't seem to mean him harm.

If he stayed any longer, he would only implicate Tang San.

It was just a pity about the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he had prepared for Tang San.

At that thought, Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodred, and he made his decision.

"Little San, don't blame me. Staying by your side would only hurt you!"

He slammed his cup down and rushed straight out of the tavern, leaving Nuoding City in the blink of an eye.

Light Feather Douluo, who had been keeping an eye on Tang Hao, couldn't help but pale.

That bastard Tang Hao had actually run away?

He chased after him for a few steps, only to find that Tang Hao was running as if his life meant nothing. Before long, he had vanished without a trace.

Light Feather Douluo's teeth itched with hatred.

"Is he even abandoning his son?"

He hadn't expected Tang Hao to leave without even caring about his son.

Still, Light Feather Douluo didn't dwell on it. He had found Tang Hao once already, so finding him again wouldn't be too difficult.

With that thought, he turned and went to the Spirit City branch, intending to help Qian Renxue complete the enrollment procedures for Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy first.

With Spirit Hall's influence, obtaining proof of admission was easy enough.

Before long, Light Feather Douluo had obtained the proof of admission. He returned to the hotel and knocked on Qian Renxue's door.

"Come in, Grandpa Fifth Enshrined."

Hearing this, Light Feather Douluo pushed the door open and entered. Smiling, he handed the proof of admission to Qian Renxue.

"Xiao Xue, here, this is your proof of admission."

"But don't blame Grandpa for speaking out of turn. You don't need to use this method to recruit Tang San."

"With your status, couldn't you just say so outright?"

Qian Renxue shook her head at his words.

"Force alone can't make Tang San join Spirit Hall wholeheartedly. If we did that, even if he joined, it wouldn't be much use."

Light Feather Douluo raised an eyebrow, helplessness rising in his eyes.

He didn't know how Qian Renxue could be so certain in her judgment when she and Tang San had never even met.

"All right, we'll do as you say."

"But this trip did bring an unexpected windfall. There's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form in Nuoding City. I reckon it won't be long before you can obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Xiao Xue."

As he spoke, Light Feather Douluo looked toward Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy in the distance, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

He had never imagined that such a small place as Nuoding City would be hiding crouching tigers and hidden dragons!

Not only was Tang Hao, Spirit Hall's most wanted fugitive, here, but there was even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?

This was a pleasant surprise.

Light Feather Douluo was just about to go out and capture the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast when Qian Renxue stopped him.

Qian Renxue looked at Light Feather Douluo and said, "Grandpa Fifth Enshrined, don't be in such a hurry."

"Even if you captured that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form now, it wouldn't be my turn to absorb it."

At those words, Light Feather Douluo was taken aback for a moment. Then a cold smile appeared on his face.

"That's true."

Qian Renxue's reminder immediately brought Bibi Dong to mind.

If Light Feather Douluo captured the Soul Beast now, it would be a long time before Qian Renxue's Soul Power was sufficient to absorb it. In the end, he would only be doing the work for Bibi Dong's benefit!

"You're the clever one, Xiao Xue. Grandpa really is getting old. I didn't even think of that."

Qian Renxue said nothing. What she had in mind was different from what Light Feather Douluo was thinking.

In her previous life, she had seen Xiao Wu and Tang San's feelings for each other with her own eyes and had deeply envied them.

Qian Renxue didn't know how far their feelings for each other had developed now. If Xiao Wu were captured and Tang San went mad, wouldn't everything be ruined?

For that reason, Qian Renxue had no plans to make a move against Xiao Wu directly.

But she couldn't simply leave Xiao Wu entirely unchecked either, which was why she had thought of joining Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Just wait... you wretched rabbit. I'll show you who's the lover most worthy of Tang San!

Qian Renxue looked out the window and waved her delicate fist forcefully, as though declaring war on Xiao Wu.

The next day, at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Tang San sat in his chair, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

Suddenly, a voice came from above.

The teacher cleared their throat and said, "We have a new student in our class. Let's all welcome her."

"Her name is Qian Renxue."

Hearing this, Tang San froze in his seat.
