Chen Taigong Goes Fishing (Please Keep Reading~)

Early morning, inside Nuoding City's post office.

A boy handed the envelope in his hand to the clerk in front of him.

"Uncle, I want to mail a letter."

"Alright, postage is two Copper Soul Coins." The clerk took the envelope and glanced at it, then froze. "Mail it to the Star Luo Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, I have a friend there." Chen Feng nodded.

"Oh, does your friend work over there?" The clerk made a reasonable guess.

He knew that some factions raised children from a young age to ensure sufficient loyalty.

Those with Martial Soul talent would be taken in as guards, while those without it would merely become ordinary servants. The boy's friend was probably in that sort of situation.

"Uh, yes, my friend does indeed 'work' at the Star Luo Imperial Palace," Chen Feng said vaguely.

"Then your friend is quite lucky to have found such a good employer. Alright, this letter should arrive in about three days." As he spoke, the clerk accepted the envelope and placed it in an iron box marked with the words "Star Luo Empire."

Although Heaven Dou and Star Luo had competed for many years, the continent was still in a period of peace. Under such circumstances, exchanges between nations of all sizes had not been cut off, and letters between civilians were perfectly normal.

"Thank you, Uncle." Chen Feng handed over two Copper Soul Coins, took a mailing receipt, and left.

Two days later, Chen Feng submitted articles to both Heaven Dou Weekly and Martial Soul Weekly. Then he went to a Small Grove and found Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were training.

"Xiao Wu, come here. I have something to tell you." Chen Feng beckoned to Xiao Wu, who was being blasted around by Tang San.

Xiao Wu yanked off the strip of cloth over her eyes, dodged a flying Blue Silver Grass seed, and shouted:

"What is it? I'm busy!"

"It's very important!" Chen Feng called back as he made a stop gesture toward Tang San.

Tang San withdrew his Martial Soul and walked over with Xiao Wu.

As Xiao Wu wiped the dust from her face, she angrily punched Tang San. "Can't you go a little easier on me? You blew dust all over me. I'm filthy!"

Tang San was somewhat helpless. "I can't throw the seeds with my hands, so how could I control them that precisely? It's already good enough that you only got a little dusty."

"Hmph, wasn't it because I dodged well? I told you Sister Xiao Wu is a genius. Even blindfolded, I can easily dodge your Blue Silver Grass seeds." Xiao Wu sounded rather proud.

"That's because I... Forget it. As long as you're happy." Tang San did not continue arguing with her.

He could not throw seeds with his hands, so he could not even bring out a tenth of his abilities. Yet Xiao Wu had still been blown into a fluster. Where did she get the confidence to call herself a genius?

When they reached Chen Feng, Xiao Wu cleared the dust from her braid as she asked:

"Xiao Feng, what was so urgent that you had to call me over?"

"Xiao Wu, I've thought carefully about it these past two days. Don't you think you should go home for a visit?" Chen Feng said bluntly.

"Go home? What for?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

"It's like this. The First Spirit Ring you originally planned to obtain wasn't the Waist Bow, but Moon-Draw, which Grandmaster and I recommended. Don't you think you should go back and tell your family about this?" Chen Feng guided her patiently.

"There's no need. I can decide something like this myself." Xiao Wu had clearly not understood what he meant.

Chen Feng sighed inwardly. "You should know what I've been doing these past two days, right?"

This Rabbit Spirit was usually quite sharp. Why was she being so dense now? Had Tang San really blown her stupid?

"I know." Xiao Wu nodded, her eyes full of pure bewilderment. "You said you wanted to turn the theories you previously summarized into a thesis, and you've often gone to ask Grandmaster questions about it."

"Yes. You should also know roughly what I'm going to write about. So do you think this thesis might have some influence? Is it possible that it could attract the attention of some important figures?"

Midway through speaking, Chen Feng suddenly changed his tone. "Of course, maybe I'm thinking too highly of myself. Perhaps this thesis will sink without a trace and cause no stir at all. But no matter what, I think spirit skills are matters that affect one's whole life. You should still go back and discuss it with your family."

Looking at the stunned Xiao Wu, he asked meaningfully:

"What do you think, Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu had stopped brushing the dust from her hair. Looking into Chen Feng's deep eyes, she finally realized something.

Chen Feng had definitely already seen through her situation. Otherwise, he would not have come to persuade her to go back at a time like this.

Xiao Wu could no longer deceive herself into believing that everything was just a coincidence.

Because she loved joining in on excitement, if Chen Feng's published thesis really drew the attention of important figures, he should not have come to persuade her to leave this place temporarily.

On the contrary, when those important figures arrived, Chen Feng should have shown off to her about how amazing and talented he was.

But Chen Feng was now urging her to leave, which meant he had already seen through her situation and knew of her weakness—she could not be noticed by powerful people.

So Xiao Feng knew that I'm a Soul Beast transformed into a human! Xiao Wu's mind was a complete mess.

Elsewhere, Tang Hao slowly lowered the wine jug in his hand, his eyes filled with profound surprise.

"This is insane. How exactly did this kid find out? Could he also be a Soul Beast transformed into a human? The kind that can completely conceal its aura?

"But his Martial Soul is a sword. What kind of Soul Beast transformed into a human could have a Sword Spirit? A sword spirit?

"Still, the kid is right. I just hope that after this Little Rabbit leaves, she never comes back. I don't want to see the same tragedy from back then happen again."

Chen Feng had no idea that a Title Douluo was already doubting whether he was human. Smiling, he said to Xiao Wu:

"Xiao Wu, go back and see your family. Have a proper discussion with them about your future."

Xiao Wu nodded, still somewhat bewildered, then turned and left.

Tang San sighed softly at the side. "Looks like I won't have anyone to spar with for a while."

"I'm not a person?" Chen Feng said irritably. "Am I a person or not?"

Tang San laughed. "Don't you need to write your thesis? You still have time to spar with me?"

"I finished the thesis ages ago. It's already been sent out. Something like that is a piece of cake for me." Chen Feng gave off a faint air of showing off.

"Now all that's left is to wait and see what kind of response this thesis causes."

Chen Feng had great confidence in his academic ability. He believed that a thesis combining the knowledge of two worlds would definitely lure something in.

Even if he hooked a great white shark, as long as it could be reasoned with, Chen Feng was confident he could keep the situation under control.

What he feared was hooking an Old God like Enzos—mad, idiotic, and impossible to communicate with. Then he'd be screwed.

The claim that Tang Hao kept Xiao Wu around because he wanted to give her spirit ring to Tang San is purely a conspiracy theory.

Because the original text went like this:

Tang Hao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. From the perspective of a Spirit Master, I should imprison you and wait until Tang San needs you, then kill you and give him your spirit ring and spirit bone. But from the perspective of a husband, I would make a different choice."

From this passage, Tang Hao spared Xiao Wu because of Ah Yin. There was no conspiracy involved.
