Sensing Something Amiss

The visitor to Yu Xiaogang's room was none other than Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's arrival gave Yu Xiaogang quite a fright. He asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"It's me!"

Tang Hao lifted his hat, revealing his face.

Though he looked disheveled and weathered, Yu Xiaogang recognized him at once.

"Haotian Your Excellency, it's you." Yu Xiaogang was overwhelmed with excitement. He had probably guessed why Tang Hao had come.

"Xiao San came to see you today. What did you talk about?" Tang Hao asked in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, we discussed how to cultivate his Blue Silver Grass. We also discussed something important concerning you," Yu Xiaogang said gravely.

"Concerning me? Did you expose my identity?" Tang Hao frowned slightly, a trace of anger in his voice.

As he spoke, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze, making Yu Xiaogang feel as though he could barely breathe.

He said with difficulty, "Your Excellency, no. It was Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall is looking for you."

"Hmm? Spirit Hall?" Tang Hao reined in his killing intent and stared at Yu Xiaogang, waiting for him to continue.

"Your Excellency, this is what happened. When Xiao San came to take me as his master today, he happened to meet a young man who helped him out. Afterward, that person took Xiao San inside, but he still saw through Xiao San's Twin Martial Souls..." Yu Xiaogang recounted everything that had happened in detail. Once he had finished, he also told Tang Hao the explanation he had given Tang San.

After hearing it, Tang Hao believed it even more firmly than Tang San had.

Because he knew of the grudge between himself and Spirit Hall. In order to find him, Spirit Hall was indeed capable of doing such things.

"Your Excellency, I put Xiao San in danger by having him stay with that person. I hope you will not blame me." Yu Xiaogang lowered his head and waited for Tang Hao's forgiveness.

"My son, Tang Hao's son, is no coward. I believe Xiao San will not only be fine, but will also obtain plenty of useful information over there," Tang Hao said confidently.

Tang Hao did not go directly to Feng Hao because Yu Xiaogang had suggested that they first draw out useful information.

Besides, if he killed Feng Hao here, Spirit Hall's experts would likely arrive before long.

"Your Excellency, Xiao San and I are not very familiar with each other after all. Why not leave me a note? I can pass it on to him. That way, when he works with me, he won't be wary of me or hold anything back," Yu Xiaogang said seriously.

"That makes sense." Tang Hao picked up a pen from the desk nearby and quickly wrote a letter.

After writing the letter, he left behind a key as well. He said to Yu Xiaogang, "Give this key to him when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Yu Xiaogang respectfully reached out and accepted it.

Once he had taken the key, Tang Hao left the room without a sound.

Yu Xiaogang muttered, "So this is a Titled Douluo? How enviable!"

He knew that there was no way his level would improve much in this lifetime.

That was why he wanted even more desperately to make a name for himself.

His theories alone were far from enough.

With theories alone, people might flatter him on the surface, but deep down, they would still look down on him.

He needed an outstanding disciple, someone like Tang San.

He had made up his mind. Once the time was right, he would expose Feng Hao's identity directly.

Then he would let the world know that Tang San was his disciple.

That night, Feng Hao sat in the courtyard and used the soul skill that came with the Taiji Diagram.

The moment he activated Golden Bridge Crossing, he felt as though his entire soul had taken flight.

The Taiji Diagram could transform into a Golden Bridge and draw upon the sacred might of the Heavenly Dao.

So it was hardly strange that he could look down upon this world from above.

Centered on his location, his perception spread rapidly outward.

The distance he could teleport continued to extend.

Yet it still could not reach Heaven Dou City. Based on his estimate of the distance, he would need to reach level thirty before he could teleport there.

Ten levels!

Feng Hao decided that he had to cultivate as quickly as possible and raise his Soul Power to level thirty.

Once he reached level thirty, he could go straight to Heaven Dou City to find Qian Renxue.

He rather missed Qian Renxue. Mainly because Xiao Wu was still a child, and he could not do anything with her.

Being with Qian Renxue, however, would allow them to deepen their relationship.

After he withdrew the soul skill, Xiao Wu emerged from the bathroom.

She said to Feng Hao, "Brother Feng Hao, hurry up and take a bath so you can come back and sleep."

"Okay!" Feng Hao got up and headed for the bathroom.

That night, Xiao Wu slept soundly. She had been tired from training during the day.

She pressed herself close to Feng Hao, as though afraid he might run away.

After a night passed, they went to the academy together the next day.

Tang San came to class that day as well.

This counted as his first meeting with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was quite curious about Tang San. After all, Tang San had an adult soul inside a child's body, so he was naturally different from everyone else.

Moreover, Tang San himself was a genius, so he naturally drew attention.

It was only when Feng Hao came to teach that Xiao Wu learned Tang San was Feng Hao's disciple.

That made her even more curious about Tang San, curious as to why he had become Feng Hao's disciple.

However, she did not approach Tang San. Instead, she planned to ask Feng Hao after they returned home.

Meanwhile, Tang San was even more respectful toward Feng Hao in class that day.

Earlier, Master had found him.

He had given him the letter Tang Hao left behind, along with the key.

Tang San now believed everything completely. Therefore, he had to be respectful enough toward Feng Hao.

Only then could he gain Feng Hao's trust and eventually draw out what Feng Hao knew.

After Feng Hao increasingly sensed that something was wrong, he decided to find an opportunity to investigate the situation in secret.

After school that day, Tang San went to find Feng Hao and asked, "Teacher, I have some questions I would like to ask you."

"Come with me to my office!" Every teacher at the academy had their own office.

Xiao Wu was there as well, though she had not spoken to Tang San yet.

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu with Feng Hao, he asked curiously, "Teacher, does Xiao Wu have something she wants to discuss with you too?"

"No. Xiao Wu is family. I came here to teach because of her," Feng Hao said.

"Oh! Hello, Xiao Wu. My name is Tang San, and I am Teacher's disciple," Tang San said to Xiao Wu.

As he carefully examined Xiao Wu, he cursed inwardly, Why does a villain from Spirit Hall have such an adorable family member?

"Hello! Since you're Brother Feng Hao's disciple, just call me Xiao Wu. Calling me Xiao Wu classmate is far too formal," Xiao Wu said.

She did not know that Feng Hao and Tang San were both harboring ulterior motives, so she remained rather polite toward Tang San.

Soon, they arrived at Feng Hao's office.

After entering, Feng Hao sat down and had them each pull over a stool.

"What do you want to ask? Go ahead," Feng Hao said.

"Teacher, when will you take me to obtain a soul ring?" Tang San asked.

His Soul Power was now at level ten, so it was time for him to seek a soul ring.

However, Master had told him to ask this question today, mainly to test Feng Hao's attitude.

"Ding! Tang San's soul ring acquisition event has been triggered!"

"Option One: Help Tang San obtain a Martial Soul ring. Reward: two levels of Soul Power."

"Option Two: Wait for Yu Xiaogang to take Tang San to obtain a Martial Soul ring. Reward: one divine artifact, the Invisibility Cloak."
