Tang Hao: Big Brother, I Think I've Fallen in Love with Her!!

Xu Xin glanced at A Yin, then at Ye Shengxin.

At last, he slowly said, "Senior, we came here to purchase books on medical knowledge from you."

Ye Shengxin froze for a moment, then waved his hand. "These books are family heirlooms, passed down through generations. I'm afraid they cannot be taught to others so casually."

Xu Xin naturally understood. They had spent generations painstakingly writing them—how could they simply hand them over because someone asked?

Although he could have sent the Ninja Soldiers to steal them directly, Xu Xin decided against it. Ye Shengxin was not like Yang Wudi. Ye Shengxin was a true healer, one who served the people.

More importantly, Ye Shengxin had no grievances with him. Why steal from the man?

Yang Wudi was different. Not to mention that Yang Wudi belonged to the Clear Sky Sect, so Xu Xin felt no guilt whatsoever.

"Of course, we understand."

"So, we are willing to exchange pills for them."

As he spoke, Xu Xin took out a small bottle of pills from his storage Soul Tool. These had been refined by Dugu Bo over this period of time.

Their effects were simple: they could strengthen the body and improve one's health—though the effect was incredibly weak, practically negligible—and they could speed up the absorption of Soul Power for those with low Soul Power. Of course, the effect only lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Moreover, their effect was not obvious for Soul Masters above Soul Elder rank.

Even so, they were quite good.

Xu Xin then explained the effects of the pills, specifically emphasizing that they had been refined by Dugu Bo.

Ye Shengxin accepted the pills from Xu Xin and sniffed them. A strange medicinal fragrance greeted him, and with one whiff, he knew Xu Xin was not lying.

And since they had been refined by Dugu Bo, what was there for Ye Shengxin to worry about?

"Dugu Bo must have told you about my situation here, then."

"In that case, I can agree. However, I will only allow the two of you to read them. You absolutely must not pass the knowledge on to anyone else!"

"If you agree, then so do I."

Ye Shengxin spoke slowly. He still had to give Dugu Bo some face. Even though Dugu Bo was poisoned, he could still break through to the Title Douluo rank. It was worth giving a future Your Excellency this favor.

"Agreed. Thank you, Senior!"

Xu Xin spoke slowly. There was no problem with that. Once he knew it, the Ninja Soldiers would know it too...

Xu Xin and A Yin stayed with the Ye Family for three days, reading all of their books. More importantly, they memorized everything.

Though most of it was memorized by the Ninja Soldiers.

"Senior, if you ever encounter difficulties in the future, you may come to Shadow Hall. Shadow Hall also welcomes you to join us."

At the entrance, Xu Xin smiled at Ye Shengxin. The Nine Heart Begonia—if its curse could be broken, it could become a source of support for Shadow Hall as well.

By extending this invitation, he was also laying a foundation in Ye Shengxin's heart.

After saying this, Xu Xin left with A Yin.

The matter of Shadow Hall did enter Ye Shengxin's mind. He smiled, then shut the door.

At present, he did not believe it. Shadow Hall? Heh, he had never even heard of it. Still, the young man was polite enough.

After bidding farewell to Ye Shengxin, Xu Xin and A Yin slowly headed toward the Heaven Dou Auction House.

"Sister A Yin, when we return this time, I'm confident I can refine the Mysterious Water Pill."

Xu Xin grinned. It had to be said, Ye Shengxin truly had a great many medical books, and they were comprehensive as well. It was just a pity that there were no Immortal Herbs.

"Are you sure it's you, not the Ninja Soldiers?" A Yin smiled brightly and poked his arm.

"Hehehe, aren't the Ninja Soldiers my subordinates anyway? No need to fuss over such details."

Holding A Yin's hand, Xu Xin did not care about that.

A Yin did not mind either, allowing Xu Xin to hold her hand. "How many Golden Soul Coins do you think our pills can fetch at auction?"

"I don't know, but it should be no small amount. These pills may not be very effective for the strong, but their descendants need them badly."

"Besides, our pills have no side effects. That alone makes them better than many others."

Xu Xin explained. He was confident that the release of these pills would cause a huge stir. This was also preparation for the future release of the Mysterious Water Pill.

Pills that could increase cultivation speed were extremely important, even in the early stages.

The two soon arrived at the auction house, the largest auction house in Heaven Dou City.

"Are you two here to auction these pills?" The auction house attendant received them respectfully. The woman before him was not someone to be trifled with.

"That's right. The effect of this medicine is simple: it can increase the speed at which Soul Masters absorb Soul Power for a quarter of an hour."

"It has no side effects whatsoever, and its effect is most pronounced for Soul Masters below Soul Elder rank."

Xu Xin slowly introduced the effects of the pills. The more the attendant listened, the more shocked he became. He then said, "I'll need to report this matter. I cannot make the decision regarding these pills."

Xu Xin nodded. Soon, led by the attendant, an elderly man wearing spectacles arrived. "My surname is Xue. Would you two be willing to let this old man examine the pills?"

Xu Xin did not hesitate and handed them over, not worried in the slightest that they would be stolen.

The old man examined them for a long time but could not reach a conclusion. Finally, he looked at Xu Xin apologetically. "Young friend, could you take out one pill for this old man to test?"

"If it is genuine, our auction house will purchase that pill. The price will be the same as its auction price. How does that sound?"

Xu Xin did not mind and nodded in agreement.

Old Man Xue's eyes immediately lit up. After Xu Xin took out a pill and gave it to him, he left.

After half a quarter of an hour, the little old man returned cheerfully. "You two young friends, these pills are genuine and have no side effects."

"Leave them to our auction house, and we will certainly auction them off at a fair price for you."

Xu Xin said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

As he spoke, Xu Xin deliberately summoned three Soul Douluo-level Claw Shadow Soldiers, intimidating them a little.

When Old Man Xue saw the three identical Soul Douluo, he was somewhat shocked and no longer dared entertain any improper thoughts.

"Xiao Qian, why are you still standing there? Take our two distinguished guests to a private room and make the arrangements."

Old Man Xue shouted angrily, then looked at Xu Xin respectfully. These two had to be from some great power. They could not be offended.

"Yes, yes!" The attendant named Xiao Qian immediately came over and nervously led Xu Xin and A Yin toward a private room.

After Old Man Xue left, he also sent people to investigate Xu Xin and A Yin.

"Big Brother, are we just going to let this go?"

Tang Hao spoke angrily, his fingernails nearly digging into his flesh.

Tang Xiao was helpless as well. Even their father had stepped in. What else could they do?

They had already been released. What else was there to do?

"Don't rush. There will be plenty of opportunities later. Once you and I become Title Douluo, we'll go reclaim our honor..."

Tang Xiao muttered.

Tang Hao's eyes were practically falling out of his head as he stared at the woman ahead.

"Big—"

"Big Brother, don't say anything yet."

"I... I think I've fallen in love with her!"

Tang Hao stared fixedly at the person walking toward them.

Tang Xiao was stunned and immediately said, "What? Fallen in love with him? No... Little Hao, that won't do. Sword Douluo is a man..."

"If it really comes to it, your brother will find you—"

But before Tang Xiao could continue, Tang Hao tugged on his clothes. "Big Brother, look ahead..."

Tang Xiao froze.

The next second, Tang Xiao's dazed voice rang out...

"Little Hao... I... I think I've fallen in love with her too..."
