"Thank you, Ning Rongrong, but Xiao Wu has been kidnapped for over two months, and her fate is still unknown. I simply can't let this go."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San looked up and smiled wryly.

Ever since Flender and his group discovered that Xiao Wu had been captured by strangers more than two months ago, Tang San and the others have used every means to find Xiao Wu's whereabouts.

This incident even alarmed the people at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, since the person disappeared within their jurisdiction, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

Even with the combined efforts of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, they couldn't find even the slightest clue.

Unlike the hasty abduction of Tang San in the original novel, Dugu Bo attached great importance to Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Humanoid Spirit Beast.

In order to prevent the whereabouts of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Humanoid Spirit Beast from being exposed and thus causing huge trouble, Dugu Bo was extremely careful, erasing all possible traces that could be tracked, truly achieving a watertight operation.

Therefore, no matter how Tang San and his companions investigate, they cannot find Xiao Wu unless they confirm that the person who kidnapped Xiao Wu is Dugu Bo.

"By the way, how's Qing Mu doing?"

At this moment, Tang San asked Ning Rongrong.

Shortly after Xiao Wu's disappearance, Qing Mu also went missing, which naturally attracted the attention of Tang San and the others. They even suspected that Qing Mu's disappearance and Xiao Wu's abduction were done by the same person.

Ning Rongrong shook her head and said, "We haven't received any information."

Is that so?

Tang San frowned slightly. Where on earth had Xiao Wu gone?

On the other side, after a period of trekking, Qing Mu finally arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After entering the academy, Qing Mu quickly noticed that the other people were looking at her strangely.

So Qing Mu stopped one of them and asked, "Excuse me, what happened? Why are you all looking at me with such surprise?"

"We thought you were arrested like Xiao Wu, but it seems that's not the case," the student explained to Qing Mu.

Upon hearing this, Qing Mu frowned slightly. Xiao Wu had been captured?

Before Qing Mu left, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was also helping to search for her, but they blocked the spread of information. In addition, Qing Mu was focused on her studies, so she was unaware of this news.

"Could it be that old Dugu Bo kidnapped Xiao Wu?" Qing Mu wondered to herself.

Although Qing Mu didn't know exactly what had happened, based on the available information, Qing Mu quickly guessed the general situation.

A Title Douluo can Detect the identity of Hundred-Thousand-Year Humanoid Spirit Beast. Given how rare Title Douluo are, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is unlikely to produce a second one. Therefore, it is highly probable that Douluo Dugu Bo did it.

After all, it's absurd that Dugu Bo couldn't see such a huge Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in front of him in the original story. It would be normal for him to capture it now that he has seen it.

But Qing Mu quickly shook his head with a smile. So what if Dugu Bo caught her? What did it matter to him whether Xiao Wu lived or died?

Moreover, Xiao Wu isn't even human; she's just a Soul Beast. Even if her transformed appearance is more attractive, she's still Soul Beast!

Isn't it perfectly normal for Soul Beast to be killed and hunted by Spirit Master for their Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone?

Qing Mu then nodded to the student, "Thank you for informing me."

A moment later, Qing Mu found Ye Lingling. Upon seeing Qing Mu, Ye Lingling was overjoyed but also wore a resentful expression. "Where have you been all this time?"

"Senior Dugu asked me to treat his illness, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you. I'm sorry," Qing Mu replied with a hint of apology.

Ye Lingling gave a light snort and said, "This is the last time."

The two then started talking about their own situations.

Ye Lingling is still at level 37. Without external assistance, just over two months is not enough time for her to level up.

Through the feedback from Bulbasaur, Qing Mu has now reached level 39, surpassing Ye Lingling's level.

This made Qing Mu understand even more how difficult it is for ordinary people to cultivate. Ye Lingling was able to stand out and become the support of the Imperial Fighting Team. Even though it was because of the Nine Heart Begonia, her basic talent was still quite good, and she could be called a genius.

Even Ye Lingling can only maintain a speed of two levels per year under normal circumstances.

So, for those with average talent, it's questionable whether they can even advance one level in a year. No wonder Soul Elder can eliminate a large portion of the population.

Suddenly, Qing Mu spoke to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, I'm planning to go home. If you have time, could you come back with me?"

"Go home?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling seemed to realize something, and a blush immediately appeared on her face, but she still nodded.

Seeing Ye Lingling agree, Qing Mu smiled faintly. With his current cultivation speed, even a genius like Qian Renxue with Innate Level 20 Soul Power would need to exert all her strength to keep up, let alone Ye Lingling as his support.

Therefore, Qing Mu needs to use Immortal Herb to cleanse Ye Lingling's marrow and improve her cultivation speed; otherwise, with Ye Lingling's current cultivation speed, she simply cannot keep up with his pace.

However, if used within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, this sudden surge in Soul Power would be too conspicuous and difficult to explain.

Just then, Qing Mu was about to go home to use Immortal Herb to improve the aptitude of Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao, so he invited Ye Lingling to go home with him, which would also help them avoid attracting attention.

As for why Ye Lingling's level increased so much after returning, it can be attributed to Dugu Bo. After all, Qing Mu did get the immortal Immortal Herb from Dugu Bo, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.

Even the evolution of Bulbasaur after Qing Mu can be explained using this excuse.

Title Douluo still hold a high position in people's hearts. People will only doubt what kind of opportunity Dugu Bo obtained, but will not doubt whether a Title Douluo actually has this ability.

After a quick packing, Qing Mu and Ye Lingling took a long leave together and left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"I'm starting to regret setting them up; I've forgotten all about my friends."

Dugu Yan watched Qing Mu and Ye Lingling leave together, pouted, and said somewhat unhappily.

Since Qing Mu arrived, her priority level with Ye Lingling has dropped a notch, and her experience is completely different.

However, Dugu Yan was only saying it lip service. Ye Lingling was her best friend, and Qing Mu was her benefactor for curing her illness. Seeing that the two had such a good relationship, she was actually very happy inside.

"Who made my Yanyan unhappy?"

At this moment, a figure appeared behind Dugu Yan and smiled at Dugu Yan.
