Gai Yue Falls for Her, Tang Hao Stays Behind

After Oscar brought Ye Lingling back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he immediately went into seclusion to cultivate. Although Ye Lingling would wait for Oscar every day, the two would only eat and drink tea together. Oscar seemed to have no romantic feelings for her.

However, once Ye Lingling has made up her mind, nothing can change it. She will not give up until the other party explicitly refuses.

Meanwhile, Ao Yue, who was in Spirit City, was completely absorbed in his work. Every month, he would secretly come to the Spirit Hall to meet with Hu Liena.

Now that Hu Liena and the others have returned from Death Canyon and finished their rest, this trip to Death Canyon was just an appetizer. Bibi Dong will arrange even more terrifying training for them later.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena was alone with Ao Yue in her small courtyard. More than a year had passed, and Hu Liena's Soul Power Level had increased from level 51 to level 55.

This wasn't entirely due to her own cultivation; she also benefited from absorbing a ten -Ten Thousand Year Level Head Soul Bone.

Hu Liena has now decided to go to the Slaughter City training. This is an important task given to her by Bibi Dong. Only when Hu Liena obtains the Divine Slaughter's Domain can she truly have the possibility of inheriting Bibi Dong's mantle.

Before leaving, Bibi Dong personally gave Hu Liena a Head Soul Bone, a gift that was no less precious than the Wisdom Skull from the Soul Master Competition, demonstrating Bibi Dong's love and dedication to nurturing Hu Liena.

At this moment, Hu Liena was saying goodbye to Ao Yue. This departure might last for several years, or even be her last.

That's why Hu Liena was so melancholy. Ao Yue leaned back in his chair, and she lay on his lap, watching the clouds drift by outside the window, her Charm eyes filled with reluctance.

"I'm leaving," Hu Liena said softly.

Ao Yue gently stroked her hair, his voice full of tenderness. "Is it really necessary to go? I've heard that once you go into that place, it's almost impossible to get out!"

Hu Liena closed her eyes, seemingly making a major decision. After a long while, she opened them and said, "According to information from the past year or so, Oscar is now at the height of his power in the Sword Sect. If our plan is to continue, we must abandon everything to fight for him."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive."

Ao Yue smiled helplessly, "I'll be level 60 soon, and the sect hasn't suppressed me at all; on the contrary, they're giving me the best resources..."

Listening to Ao Yue's words, Hu Liena just looked at him. Suddenly, Ao Yue changed the subject. "But I've thought it through in the past year. If there's anything I regret in my life, it's you."

"Since he sits in that position, then I will sit in it too. You can go with peace of mind. Leave the rest to me. When you return, we will work together."

Hu Liena smiled, a very happy smile.

"Good."

After Ao Yue quietly left, Bibi Dong had already arrived at Hu Liena's residence. Seeing her teacher suddenly appear, Hu Liena bowed and greeted her, "Teacher, why have you come in person?"

Looking at the smile on Hu Liena's lips, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

After a long silence, Bibi Dong said softly, "The Sword Sect's prestige is growing daily. Getting things done between you and Ao Yue is no longer as simple as just talking about it. Keep trying, child."

"If the Sword Sect doesn't know what's good for them then, your teacher will personally open a door for you."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words about flowers, Hu Liena's eyes welled up with tears, and she knelt down heavily, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Teacher. Hu Liena will certainly not let you down."

Bibi Dong waved her hand. "Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost will send you to the Slaughter City, but once you're there, everything will be up to you."

Hu Liena nodded solemnly. "Disciple understands."

After Hu Liena left with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Bibi Dong returned to her villa. At that time, Yu Xiaogang was trimming flowers and plants in the yard. When he saw Bibi Dong return, he immediately went to greet her.

"Nana is gone?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Bibi Dong handed her shawl to Yu Xiaogang, and her disappointed mood improved somewhat after his words of comfort.

"It's over. Young birds always have to fly into the blue sky on their own to be able to stand on their own."

Yu Xiaogang put down his shawl and handed Bibi Dong a cup of Fragrant Honey: "The children are all working so hard, I shouldn't slack off either. I want to ask you for a favor."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong glared at him. "Why are you asking me for anything? Just tell me what you want, and I'll do whatever I can to fulfill it."

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest myself. In the past, it was all just theoretical research. I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find some Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and do some practical research."

Bibi Dong frowned. "Is it really necessary to go? You're only level 30-something now, it's too dangerous for you to go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Yu Xiaogang replied, "The Star Dou Great Forest has the richest variety of Soul Beast, and only there can my needs be met. Besides, if I don't take this step, won't I be stuck in theory forever? And will I always be ridiculed by that little rascal?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong recalled what Yu Xiaogang had told her: back when Yu Xiaogang was humiliated by Oscar at the Shrek Academy, even his so-called friend Flender sided with that little brat...

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had become somewhat obsessive, and nodded after a long while. "You have created new knowledge for the academic world. I will let Cardinals Lor Diarra and the others follow you."

Upon hearing the names of the people Bibi Dong had arranged, Yu Xiaogang smiled. Although he knew Bibi Dong would care about his safety, she wouldn't mobilize Titled Douluo to protect him.

Lor Diarra and the others were all Soul Douluo experts; protecting him, a Soul Elder of level 30 or so, was more than enough for them.

Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, as long as Yu Xiaogang doesn't do anything reckless, the protection of several Soul Douluo Yu Xiaogang be more than enough for him.

After finalizing the itinerary, Yu Xiaogang set off directly for the Star Dou Great Forest. Under the protection of three Soul Douluo, he planned to enrich his practical experience this time and give Oscar a good slap in the face.

A greenhorn, who has only learned a few minor details thanks to his family's connections, is far from being able to show off in front of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! Everyone has a powerful backer.

Three days have passed since Flender came to find Gai Yue, and Tang Hao has not yet received a reply from Ye Haitang, so he has been staying at the Sword Sect. However, Oscar told him that it would be within the next day or two, so Tang Hao is not in a hurry.

After handling his official business, Oscar would come to talk to Tang Hao. Tang Hao seemed to like Oscar quite a bit and tried his best to teach Oscar something.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't had this thought. It was only after he had this thought that Tang Hao realized that although Oscar was young, he seemed to know everything.

Whether in terms of cultivation or combat talent, he completely surpassed Tang Hao himself at the same stage, and he had almost nothing to pass on to Oscar.

So in the end, Tang Hao only shared with Oscar how he cultivated step by step to where he is now, and perhaps there was something Oscar could learn from him.

However, this was just unnecessary, since there were others in the Sword Sect stronger than Tang Hao. But Oscar listened attentively because there was no one in the Sword Sect whose strength surpassed Tang Hao's at the moment.

Gai Yue and Dugu Bo are both only level 95. The only difference is that they both already possess Soul Core, but their levels are the same.

On that very day, Flender sent a message instructing Gai Yue to meet Xue Qingluan at the Lingyu Restaurant in Heaven Dou City around 10 a. m.

Gai Yue thought about it for a moment, and then sent the clone of the Mori City Sword Sect. In any case, he didn't really have any hope. He just wanted to go through the motions so as not to disappoint Flender and Liu Erlong's good intentions.

However, to everyone's surprise, Gai Yue changed completely after his trip. He had always been indifferent to his marriage, but after meeting Xue Qingluan, he became somewhat different.

Gai Yue can write letters now, and she even adds little embellishments to the envelopes. Oscar noticed Gai Yue's transformation and couldn't help but smile like a proud aunt.

Oscar served Gai Yue tea and watched him read the envelope. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's only been a few days? You're already in a relationship? Didn't you say you weren't interested in women?"

Gai Yue ignored Oscar. In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He had felt something was off when he met Xue Qingluan that day.

Later, the two had a meal together. Xue Qingluan was very talkative and inexplicably started talking to Gai Yue. The meal lasted for half a day, and the two chatted for a long time.

Gai Yue then discovered that resonance truly exists in this world, and that such fantastical things as love at first sight really do exist.

Gai Yue a very straightforward man. When he parted ways with Xue Qingluan, he bluntly said that he liked Xue Qingluan very much. However, the two of them had not spent enough time together, so he wanted to get to know Xue Qingluan better. If she also thought he was suitable, he would definitely come to her door with a grand procession to propose marriage.

Xue Qingluan's initial thought was the same as Gai Yue's: she didn't want to let Liu Erlong down, so she just went through the motions. But after meeting Gai Yue, she felt that having such a man by her side wasn't so bad.

Although Gai Yue wasn't the kind of guy who was exceptionally handsome, he possessed a special charm that attracted Xue Qingluan, and the two talked about many things that day.

However, Xue Qingluan seemed to still have some concerns, but she knew that if Gai Yue sincere, then those concerns would not be a problem for the Great Elder of the Sword Sect. So she decided to spend some time with Gai Yue.

If the two of them can maintain the same level of understanding and resonance as when they first met, then it's not impossible for them to be together.

Although they are both in their forties or fifties, they have both been single since birth for various reasons. This is their first time experiencing dating, so they are still a bit inexperienced, just like young people.

Fortunately, Oscar was there to advise Gai Yue. After that, Gai Yue would often be absent from the sect, but it was obvious that he had gone to the Skywater Academy to find Xue Qingluan.

Oscar was quite happy about his teacher's love-struck nature, since his teacher did indeed need a capable assistant to help him out.

Gai Yue's love life is progressing rapidly, and Tang Hao has finally waited for Ye Haitang. Oscar had actually told Ye Haitang about Tang Hao a long time ago, but he had been delaying having Ye Haitang come over.

After all, they wanted to create a Sword Sect Ancestral Land so that other people's attention wouldn't be drawn to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After examining Tang Hao's physical condition, Ye Haitang's expression was also very solemn. The Nine-Heart Begonia did indeed have unique methods in treatment. With Ye Haitang's current level 85 Soul Power, she was capable of performing the miraculous feat of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones.

However, Tang Hao's body didn't become like this overnight. His chronic illness had been lingering for over ten years, so it was unrealistic to expect a complete cure all at once, though it wasn't impossible.

However, to fully cure Tang Hao's body, it would take at least a year to recuperate, and the medicinal herbs required along the way would be very precious and numerous.

However, this was not a difficult task for Ye Haitang, who possessed the Treasure Gathering Basin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was just that Tang Hao would need to exchange items of at least equal value for it.

After all, Ye Haitang is now a member of the Sword Sect, and it's impossible for her to do charity work for Tang Hao because of his affairs.

Upon learning of the result, Tang Hao was not dissatisfied at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed and promised that he would accept any condition as long as Ye Haitang could cure his body.

After all, Tang Hao had also won over some forces with the Strength Clan over the years, accumulating some resources and foundation.

Oscar could use this opportunity to his advantage; if he does it right, he might gain a free super henchman.

Even though some people criticize Tang Hao, no one has ever called him weak. A super genius who broke through to the title level at the age of forty-four, he set the record for the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the continent.

Tang Hao is an absolutely powerful being in terms of both talent and strength. If his body could recover, he would definitely be able to deal with a level 96 Super Douluo at the current level of 95.

Even his Explode Ring won't need to worry about the strain on his body; they will definitely be a powerful weapon in future battles.

Oscar's path involves directly confronting almost all the powerful forces on the continent. However, before his own strength fully matures, having a top-tier fighter like Tang Hao is undoubtedly a good decision.

As for the matter of him stealing the Blue Silver Emperor and the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone, Oscar has already come up with a good excuse so that he can have something to say to deny it if he is discovered in the future.

After all, his act of leaving a hole in that cave to frame the Spirit Hall wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had long anticipated this day would come.

After Ye Haitang finalized Tang Hao's treatment plan, Oscar directly invited Tang Hao to stay at the Sword Sect, since having one more person to eat would just mean having one more pair of chopsticks.

It's good that Tang Hao can be kept under our noses. Moreover, having such a thug in the Sword Sect means that if anyone dares to show their teeth and cause trouble, we'll have a thug to help us solve the problem.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
