A day had passed since the sparring match. The outcome of that day's battle had greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, no one had imagined Jiang Qianhai could defeat Chen Xin, a Super Douluo.

Although Chen Xin's defeat had been partly due to his carelessness, that did not mean he was no longer a Super Douluo.

Jiang Qianhai having the strength of a Super Douluo at the age of twelve was simply absurd no matter how one looked at it.

Chen Xin even felt that Jiang Qianhai was currently the person most likely to become a God on the entire continent.

Therefore, afterward, he enthusiastically tried to recruit Jiang Qianhai. Jiang Qianhai could only temporarily decline by saying that he would visit their sect sometime later.

After all, he had only just returned. How could he do nothing and eagerly run off to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

The two Title Douluo understood Jiang Qianhai's tactful refusal and did not press the matter. After giving Ning Rongrong a few instructions, they set off back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Before leaving, they also mooched a breakfast.

After the Sword and Bone Douluo left, Ning Rongrong, who was gnawing on a pig trotter, suddenly stood up and said somewhat unclearly:

"Ah! I forgot to ask Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather to teach that hateful Flender a lesson!"

Her face was full of regret. Whenever she recalled how Flender had humiliated her back then, she still got so angry her chest hurt. If she had another chance, she would definitely have her two grandfathers beat that Flender into a eunuch!

Ning Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Jiang Qianhai. "Qianhai Gege, you'll help Rongrong, right?"

Jiang Qianhai expressionlessly ladled the braising broth over his pig trotter before saying, "When there's nothing, it's Jiang Qianhai. When there's something, it's Qianhai Gege, is that it?"

Ning Rongrong gave an awkward smile. She tried to grab Jiang Qianhai's hand and act cute, but Jiang Qianhai dodged directly away.

"Don't touch me with those oil-covered hands!"

"Oh, okay. I'll listen to Qianhai Gege. Qianhai Gege, you won't let Rongrong down, right?"

Jiang Qianhai smiled faintly. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Uh... Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"

Ning Rongrong's little face stiffened, and her expression immediately fell. Angrily, she got up and ran over to sit beside Zhu Zhuqing.

Whenever her eyes met Jiang Qianhai's, she would wrinkle her nose and give a cold huff.

Zhu Zhuqing carried the Mystic Heavy Ruler on her back and paid no attention to the two of them bickering. Her sole focus was replenishing her energy.

She had anticipated this situation the moment Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, so she was not surprised in the slightest.

Grandmaster's Dormitory

After thinking for an entire night, Yu Xiaogang felt that he needed to drive a wedge between Jiang Qianhai and Zhu Zhuqing as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be at ease.

Who knew whether Jiang Qianhai might suddenly go mad and try to kill him?

He then summoned Tang San and Xiao Wu to his dormitory.

When Tang San brought Xiao Wu and pushed open the dormitory door, they saw Yu Xiaogang leisurely drinking tea.

Seeing Tang San arrive, Yu Xiaogang waited until he had shut the door, then put on a stern, composed expression and asked, "Xiao San, what do you think of Jiang Qianhai?"

Tang San had not known why his teacher had called for him. Hearing such a question so suddenly left him stunned.

After thinking for a moment and weighing his words carefully, he replied, "In my opinion, Jiang Qianhai is powerful and exceptionally talented, but mentally, he is still only a child. Such a mindset that does not match his strength could easily cause great harm. If he acts impulsively, even the Balak Kingdom may suffer disaster."

"At that time, who knew how many innocent people would be caught up in it? Therefore, Jiang Qianhai's existence is itself a great danger!"

Hearing Tang San's analysis, Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched into an ugly smile.

"Correct. The reason I called you here is precisely because of Jiang Qianhai. Back then, he cut off Dai Mubai's left arm over nothing more than a verbal dispute. Now, he has even forced Dai Mubai to flee overnight. His danger is obvious. Moreover, I saw that he had only just returned yesterday. One could even guess that he went out to hunt down Dai Mubai."

"What?!" Tang San's expression changed in shock, and anger rose in his heart. "Dai Laoda has already been driven to this point, yet he still wants to force him to his death!"

"I know you're angry, but don't rush." Yu Xiaogang took a performative sip of tea brewed from inferior leaves. "Our strength is insufficient right now, while Jiang Qianhai is terrifyingly powerful. We cannot act rashly."

"Believe me. The Future will ultimately be yours."

Tang San nodded heavily. That was right. With the Grandmaster's guidance, what the hell was Jiang Qianhai, some wild cultivator relying purely on talent?

Seeing Tang San quickly calm down, Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction. This was his student: possessing an extraordinary temperament alongside tremendous talent, advancing steadily one step at a time. Only such a foundation could be truly solid.

Jiang Qianhai was ultimately just a country bumpkin brat, while he had traveled the continent, read countless texts, and possessed remarkable knowledge.

Xiao San might not compare to Jiang Qianhai in the early stages, but Xiao San's future potential was greater!

All because of his understanding of Godhood inheritances!

He could provide Xiao San with information related to Godhood inheritances. What could Jiang Qianhai do?

Just stare blankly?

Showing off his ferocity now was simply ridiculous!

He had no idea whom he had offended!

The future greatest scholar!

A future Deity!

"So, Grandmaster, why did you call us here?"

Xiao Wu, who had listened to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang ramble on extravagantly for so long, could no longer hold herself back. She had only endured until now for the sake of her Third Brother.

Interrupted in his self-indulgence, Yu Xiaogang gave a light cough before finally explaining why he had summoned them.

...After a lengthy explanation...

"So, Grandmaster, you want me to ruin the relationship between Jiang Qianhai and Zhu Zhuqing?"

Xiao Wu's mouth fell open in shock.

Even she, a Soul Beast, felt that this was rather immoral. Humans were truly terrifying!

"Isn't... that a little inappropriate?"

Although she was mischievous and loved causing trouble, she believed that love was sacred and pure. How could they do such a thing to love?

Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and looked at her seriously. "Xiao Wu, we're doing this entirely for Shrek Academy. It could even be said that we're doing it for the areas around Suotuo City. Think about it: if Jiang Qianhai is willing to attack over some trivial matter, how many innocent people will be implicated?"

"We're the righteous side! So don't feel too burdened."

"This will benefit everyone. For us to cultivate in peace in the future, this must be done! Please!"

Tang San thoroughly approved of his teacher's decision. The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record stated that once someone had been confirmed as an enemy, one must never show even the slightest mercy!

Just strike to kill. The methods did not matter!

The slow-witted Old Rabbit was quickly persuaded.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Xiao Wu patted her chest, her confidence instantly soaring. Once persuaded, she even found this undercover mission especially thrilling and agreed without a second thought.

"Remember, don't reveal your intentions immediately. For now, just go make friends with Zhu Zhuqing. Once she trusts you, it won't be too late to act!"

"Don't worry! When Sister Xiao Wu takes action, there won't be a problem!"

Noon

"You've got some nerve, Old Rabbit."

Jiang Qianhai had a wild rabbit roasting over the fire and did not even look at Xiao Wu behind him.

Yet Xiao Wu did not dare move at all. She trembled at the side, wailing inwardly.

It's over! How did I forget that a Title Douluo can see through my true form?! It's all because he's too young, so I overlooked it. Wuwuwu, Xiao Wu is about to be killed for her Spirit Ring. Sorry, Third Brother, I failed. Sorry, Da Ming and Er Ming. Sister Xiao Wu is going to find Mom.
