Qian Daoliu Arrives in Nuoding City!
Qian Renxue's expression did not change in the slightest. She looked at the token in Yu Xiaogang's hand as though it were a piece of scrap iron.
As the Great Enshrined's granddaughter, she was naturally not as ignorant as the students around her. She recognized that what Yu Xiaogang held was no Elder Token, but a third-class writ from Spirit Hall.
At the same time, she shook her head slightly.
Qian Renxue could not imagine how a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang had gotten his hands on that writ.
After turning it over in her mind, she could think of only one possibility.
Bibi Dong!
There was only one way Yu Xiaogang could have obtained the writ: Bibi Dong had bestowed it on him.
At the thought, the anger in Qian Renxue's heart burned even hotter.
She could never have imagined that her mother would fall in love with such a piece of trash.
Although being reborn had helped Qian Renxue let go of much of her resentment toward Bibi Dong, and she was no longer as hostile toward her as before,
she had no good face to show Yu Xiaogang.
Qian Renxue sneered. Flashing an Elder Token in front of her? Gangzi really must have had one drink too many.
Did he not know who she was?
As the granddaughter of Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, it could be said that the people Qian Renxue had seen most often before were the elders of Spirit Hall.
She had even been raised by the enshrined.
And a civil-service elder dared to act so brazenly in front of her?
Tang San's expression barely changed when he saw Yu Xiaogang take out the token, but flowers were blooming in his heart.
Gangzi had kicked an iron plate this time.
Anyone else in Nuoding City might have been fooled by the token. After all, none of them had ever seen a real Elder Token.
But in front of Qian Renxue, even a genuine Elder Token was hardly any different from a piece of scrap iron.
It could even be said to be worth less than scrap iron.
Qian Renxue sneered and said, "You know better than anyone whether that token of yours is an Elder Token.
"And even if it is, so what?
"How can you have the nerve to show off something you got as a handout through your connections with a woman?!"
With that, she turned and took Tang San's hand.
"Let's go."
Qian Renxue truly did not want to speak to Yu Xiaogang anymore. She was afraid that if they kept talking, she really would not be able to stop herself from hitting him.
She had only just found Tang San, and she did not want to make too poor an impression.
As Yu Xiaogang listened to Qian Renxue, his expression changed abruptly, and shock rose in his heart.
"How does she know this isn't an Elder Token? And how does she know where it came from?"
Yu Xiaogang knew better than anyone how he had gotten the token.
Bibi Dong had given it to him for the sake of their past relationship.
It had nothing to do with that so-called theoretical knowledge.
But no one else should have known about that!
After Qian Renxue exposed him outright, Yu Xiaogang was utterly stunned. His face alternated between green and white, and he did not even know how to begin a rebuttal. He stood rooted to the spot.
Seeing his reaction, the students watching the show began to wonder and whisper among themselves.
"Could she really have hit the mark? Did Grandmaster get this so-called Elder Token through connections?"
"He must have. Otherwise, why wouldn't he argue back?"
"Think about it. How could someone with only half a level of Innate Soul Power possibly earn Spirit Hall's recognition?"
"If you ask me, that's no Elder Token at all!"
The students all came to the same conclusion: Yu Xiaogang was utterly unreliable, and his mouth was full of lies.
Listening to the whispers around him, Yu Xiaogang's face grew even redder. He looked ahead, but Qian Renxue and Tang San were long gone.
"Tang San... and that newcomer too. I'll remember you!"
"Just you wait. I'll make you understand that not becoming a disciple of me, Grandmaster, is something you'll regret for the rest of your lives!"
"My disciple will definitely surpass you!"
Brimming with rage, Yu Xiaogang turned and left to search for his next target.
Up ahead, Qian Renxue led Tang San by the hand for quite a distance before stopping.
She turned to look at him and said, "Little San, take my advice. Whether or not you decide to join Spirit Hall, don't agree to anything that piece of trash asks.
"He's nothing but a fraud who steals fame. If you take him as your master, the future development of your Martial Soul will be completely ruined."
When she finished speaking, Tang San nodded.
"I understand."
Even without Qian Renxue telling him, he knew that perfectly well.
Aside from that idiot Great God King Tang, probably not many people on the entire Douluo Continent would believe Gangzi.
Leaving everything else aside, who could keep a straight face if they heard that Gangzi had planned to get a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo as Great God King Tang's First Soul Ring?
Hell, if someone chopped Gangzi down, the Soul Ring he dropped might well be older than ten years.
Not to mention Gangzi's fanciful idea that Blue Silver Grass should follow the poison-attribute route. Later, when Great God King Tang awakened as the Blue Silver Emperor, his first three Soul Rings were rendered completely useless.
Hell, even Entanglement had to be counted as a Soul Skill of its own. People would laugh if they heard about it.
At the thought, Tang San could not help raising an eyebrow.
Speaking of which, he ought to find time to obtain his First Soul Skill soon. He had long since planned out his future path of development.
His First Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, would follow the life route.
Paired with the Clear Sky Hammer fitted entirely with brute-force rings, the idea was to take hits and dish them out, with both toughness and damage.
While he was thinking, Qian Renxue spoke again.
"Little San, you haven't obtained a Soul Ring yet, have you?"
A faint smile appeared on her face, and her breathtakingly beautiful features made even Tang San lose himself for a moment.
Even though Tang San had seen plenty of celebrities and internet stars in his previous life, he could not help thinking that, compared to Qian Renxue, many of those so-called beauties from his past life were nothing but common powder and rouge.
No wonder she had remained so popular despite all her brain-dead moves later on.
She was stupid, but she truly was beautiful.
All he could say was that there were still more people in the world who cared about looks.
Tang San did not much care about Qian Renxue's intelligence, though.
As a transmigrator, if he could not even keep Qian Renxue in hand, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.
Besides, when it came down to it, Qian Renxue's main problem was her love-brain. Her drop in intelligence was just one part of it.
Now that he was the object of her love-brain, there was no problem.
He just did not know why Qian Renxue had suddenly asked whether he had a Soul Ring. Could she be planning to take him to hunt Soul Beasts?
Tang San raised an eyebrow and looked at Qian Renxue.
"That's right. Why?"
Hearing this, the smile on Qian Renxue's face grew wider.
"That's perfect, then.
"I'll take you to hunt Soul Beasts tomorrow. With me there, your First Soul Ring will definitely be the best."
When Qian Renxue had fought Tang San in their previous lives, she had noticed how absurd his First Soul Skill was.
Now that she had returned through rebirth, she naturally would not let Tang San follow the same disastrous path again.
Hearing that such an incredible stroke of good fortune awaited him, Tang San happily agreed.
"All right!"
After the two had talked for a while, the sky gradually darkened.
Qian Renxue waved goodbye to Tang San and walked out of the academy.
As soon as she reached the entrance, she saw Light Feather Douluo, who had already been waiting for quite some time.
"Did Tang San agree to join?"
Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "There's no rush. I've only just approached him, and Tang San and I haven't gotten to know each other yet."
Hearing this, Light Feather Douluo could only smile wryly.
"All right. I really don't know why you don't just tell him directly.
"But there's something I need to tell you beforehand. Your grandfather is here, and he's waiting for you at the hotel right now.
"As for recruiting Tang San... I advise you to think it through before telling your grandfather.
"Because Tang San is Tang Hao's son!"
