At the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel, in a luxurious private room decorated with refined elegance, it was already evening by the time Xia Wuyou and Jiang Zhu finished dinner.
Just as Xia Wuyou called for a waiter to pay the bill, Ning Caichen, who seemed to have been waiting outside the private room all along, hurried forward with great tact and a hearty smile.
"Hahaha! Your Excellency Wuyou! Miss Jiangzhu! How could I possibly let you two pay for today's meal? I've already instructed them to waive the bill."
Ning Caichen paused briefly before continuing.
"If you do not dislike our hotel, I hope you will visit often in the future. Not only is today's meal on us, but whenever you come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel from now on, feel free to order whatever you like. Every expense will be covered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Your Excellency Wuyou! You have only just arrived in Heaven Dou City, taken over Blue Tyrant Academy, and become neighbors with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Let us take this chance to become friends. I hope our two factions will have more dealings in the future."
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gold Soul Coins were the one thing they never lacked. If they could use this opportunity to become friends with Xia Wuyou, it would be far more worthwhile than the few Gold Soul Coins they spent.
After all, no amount of Gold Soul Coins could buy a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, the favor of a Soul Master genius with limitless potential, or a debt of gratitude from someone destined to become a Titled Douluo.
Faced with Ning Caichen and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's goodwill, Xia Wuyou gave it some thought and readily accepted.
"Hehe! Steward Ning, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is far too generous! After taking over Blue Tyrant Academy, I have renamed it Yanhuang Academy. From now on, I will be settling down in Heaven Dou City as well!"
"We are neighbors, after all. It is only natural for us to visit one another! I, Xia Wuyou, am happy to call the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a friend!"
It could not be denied that Ning Fengzhi was a qualified businessman and an exceptionally capable sect master. Looking over his life in the original story, his only defeat had been the matter of "sword broken, bones shattered."
Seeing that Xia Wuyou was not hostile toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Caichen beamed with delight at having completed the task assigned by his sect and became even more enthusiastic in trying to keep Xia Wuyou around.
In the face of Ning Caichen's enthusiasm, Xia Wuyou found an excuse to politely decline. Once he returned to Yanhuang Academy, he could enjoy a lavish seafood feast. He had no desire to waste time with a middle-aged fat uncle.
The night was long, and tonight he still had to thoroughly study the mysteries of human anatomy with Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu had long been unable to wait any longer, so how could Xia Wuyou have time to waste on Ning Caichen?
After bidding Ning Caichen farewell and leaving the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel, Xia Wuyou and Jiang Zhu bought some daily necessities as well as clothes to change into.
Upon returning to Yanhuang Academy, Xia Wuyou followed Jiang Zhu to her single dormitory.
It had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and a balcony. It was clean and tidy, delicate and elegant, giving off a warm and comfortable feeling.
After showering, Xia Wuyou changed into the clothes he had just bought.
Crystal-clear droplets still trickled through Jiang Zhu's red hair.
A bath towel wrapped around her curvaceous body.
Making her look even more petite and exquisite.
Especially those long, slender legs of hers.
She had even put on the black stockings she had bought tonight.
They were the kind of legs one could admire for years.
"Dean!"
Seeing Xia Wuyou's gaze.
Jiang Zhu only felt her heart beat faster.
"Jiang Zhu! Don't call me Dean! You can call me..."
Jiang Zhu had him feeling overheated.
He needed to eat something to cool himself down.
He reached out and wrapped an arm around Jiang Zhu's slender waist.
Pulling her forcefully into his embrace.
Then he kissed her lips.
"Mmph..."
Faced with his domineering action.
Jiang Zhu's body stiffened.
Her hand also unconsciously loosened its hold on the bath towel.
Then she wrapped her arms around Xia Wuyou's neck.
Responding passionately to the love in her heart.
Xia Wuyou's tongue was deft and persuasive.
Driving Jiang Zhu back step by step.
Jiang Zhu's stiff body gradually softened.
"Jiang Zhu! Shall we go to the bedroom first and properly study the differences in human anatomy?"
Xia Wuyou looked at Jiang Zhu, who was breathing heavily.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Mmm... I'll listen to Master!"
Jiang Zhu blushed deeply, looking utterly shy.
Her demeanor said that she would let him do as he pleased.
"Good! Jiang Zhu, you must study hard in a moment."
Xia Wuyou picked Jiang Zhu up in his arms.
And teleported into the bedroom.
Before long, Jiang Zhu began studying with humility and eagerness.
Xia Wuyou was quite pleased with this.
The two of them thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The scene shifted, and many factions outside Yanhuang Academy were far from calm.
Especially the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Xue Family, the local tyrants.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's Eastern Palace!
Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, finished reading the intelligence report in her hand.
"Uncle Cixue, is this all the intelligence on Xia Wuyou?"
"Besides this basic information, did Uncle Shelong discover anything else outside?"
Faced with Qian Renxue's questioning, Porcupine Douluo helplessly shook his head.
"Young Master! This is all the information we have on Xia Wuyou for now! He is too mysterious! So mysterious that we cannot even uncover his exact Soul Power Level or the origin of his inheritance!"
"Because of his Space Spirit, Snake Lance does not dare get too close to Xia Wuyou. For now, he can only follow his movements from afar. To investigate Xia Wuyou's origins, Snake Lance followed your instructions, Young Master, and had Salas send the information back to Spirit City."
In order to complete Qian Renxue's task, Snake Lance had spent the entire day outside investigating Xia Wuyou, but the results were far from satisfactory.
Moreover, because of Xia Wuyou's Space Spirit, and because he could not expose his identity and affect Qian Renxue's usurpation plan, Snake Lance did not dare approach too closely.
In the end, left with no alternative, Snake Lance could only send the information back to Spirit City and have others investigate Xia Wuyou.
Qian Renxue nodded and made new arrangements.
"Mhm! I understand!"
"Uncle Cixue, have Uncle Shelong return tomorrow!"
"There is no need for us to continue investigating Xia Wuyou!"
"As for Xia Wuyou, I believe that 'certain people' are even more anxious than we are to uncover his identity and origins."
Qian Renxue's gaze was unfathomable, and an amused smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Whether it was the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Xue Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everyone knew the strength and foundations of all three factions.
The reason these three factions had not made contact with Xia Wuyou, who had only arrived in Heaven Dou City today, was because they all suspected that he came from Spirit Hall.
Before Xia Wuyou's identity and origins were investigated, whether it was the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Xue Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all three factions naturally remained still. No one wished to be the first to approach him.
If Xia Wuyou truly was from Spirit Hall, then with his Three Purple Three Black One Red soul ring configuration, he was surely the descendant of some high-ranking Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall.
Whoever took the lead and truly offended Xia Wuyou to the death would undoubtedly offend all of Spirit Hall, making it easy for Spirit Hall to target them as an example to others.
But if Xia Wuyou was not from Spirit Hall, then they were even less willing to be the one to take the lead and offend a young man who was powerful, possessed boundless potential, and was certain to become a Titled Douluo in the future.
