First Meeting with Tang San

Zhao Xiaotian left the shop and headed toward his lodgings at the Rose Hotel. Along the way, his handsome face drew the attention of the young women around him.

However, Zhao Xiaotian paid them no mind and walked straight into the Rose Hotel. The moment he entered, he saw a girl dressed in pink, with decorations resembling rabbit ears on her head, as well as an ordinary-looking young man standing beside her with a grave expression.

Zhao Xiaotian looked at the young man in a white suit standing before them, his arms around a pair of beautiful twin sisters. Knowing there was a show about to unfold, Zhao Xiaotian reached back with one hand and grabbed the little girl in the green floral dress whom he had noticed long ago.

The little girl struggled wildly as she was lifted by the back of her collar. Zhao Xiaotian carried her over to a sofa, sat down, and said, "Watch the show properly!"

Hearing that, the little girl quieted down and silently watched the coming spectacle. Sitting beside her, Zhao Xiaotian took a piece of fruit from his Soul Tool and began eating it.

The girl in pink, the ordinary-looking young man, and the young man in the white suit glanced at them. But when the young man in the white suit saw the little girl beside Zhao Xiaotian, his eyes lit up and a lecherous smile appeared on his face.

"Little beauty! How about coming upstairs with me for some fun after I win?"

The little girl snorted coldly and turned her head away. The young man was not angered by this. He turned to the ordinary-looking young man and said, "Come on! You and the beauty beside you can take me on together!"

The girl in pink said furiously, "Fine! Who's afraid of who?"

As soon as she spoke, she tried to step forward, only to be stopped by the young man beside her. "Xiao Wu, don't be impulsive!"

"Third Brother, he's gone too far!"

Seeing that they still had not started fighting, Zhao Xiaotian cleared his throat and said, "Ahem! Are you fighting or not? I'm still waiting to watch the show! If you're not fighting, I'm going upstairs first!"

The young man in the white suit glared furiously at Zhao Xiaotian. Zhao Xiaotian merely looked back at him, and he immediately withdrew his gaze as though facing a formidable enemy.

"I am Tang San, a level twenty-nine control-system Soul Grandmaster. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Please enlighten me!"

The young man in white also said, "Dai Mubai! Martial soul, Evil Eye White Tiger. Level thirty-four assault-system battle Soul Elder!"

Tang San's expression immediately turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit, but he still did not show weakness. He was the first to use Blue Silver Entanglement, binding Dai Mubai and rendering him unable to move.

But Tang San seemed to have forgotten that Dai Mubai was a Soul Elder. A single White Tiger Body Shield broke Tang San's first soul skill.

When Tang San saw Dai Mubai easily break his first soul skill, his eyes instantly turned pale purple, with faint golden light flickering within them.

At the sight, Zhao Xiaotian's expression instantly grew grave, completely losing his previous air of someone watching a show. That was because Tang San's eye technique was clearly Purple Demon Eye, a cultivation method from one of the five sects of the Tai Chi Sect that he had destroyed in his previous life.

Zhao Xiaotian murmured to himself, "Tang Sect?"

Tang San did not hear Zhao Xiaotian's quiet murmur. Instead, his hands turned jade-like, and he used the footwork he had trained since childhood, continuously unleashing Blue Silver Grass to bind Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was not someone a Soul Grandmaster could casually handle, so he unleashed White Tiger Vajra Transformation. The powerful impact sent Tang San flying backward.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaotian instinctively moved to shield Tang San. If he had not acted, the back of Tang San's head would certainly have struck the sharp corner of a table.

Although Zhao Xiaotian still had some doubts about Tang San's identity, everything had to be investigated before conclusions could be drawn. At that moment, Dai Mubai seemed to have fought himself into a rage. Pointing at Zhao Xiaotian, he snarled, "Kid! That one look from you intimidated me just now. You must be a soul master too. How about we have a fight!"

Zhao Xiaotian chuckled. "You? You're no match for me."

Dai Mubai instantly flew into a rage. He did not believe that he could not defeat a brat about the same age as the person he had just beaten.

Dai Mubai angrily threw a punch at Zhao Xiaotian's face. After steadying Tang San, Zhao Xiaotian lashed out with a kick, striking Dai Mubai in the abdomen and sending him flying.

"Are you all right?"

Tang San, Xiao Wu beside him, and the little girl seated on the sofa had all been stunned by Zhao Xiaotian's kick. Wearing glasses made from fine crystal with golden frames, Zhao Xiaotian smiled at the two of them.

After coming back to his senses, Tang San said gratefully, "I'm fine! Thank you for your help, brother!"

"Brother?"

Tang San immediately panicked at the question. He had instinctively used the way he thanked others in his previous life, so he quickly corrected himself. "Brother! I mean, brother!"

"Oh! Since you're fine, go get a room. I still have some matters to deal with!"

Without waiting for Tang San's response, he walked toward the little girl sitting on the sofa. There was still a gentle smile on his face, but the little girl found that smile terrifying no matter how she looked at it.

"Tell me. What is your purpose in following me all this time? And what is your name?"

Looking at his handsome face, the little girl's cheeks flushed slightly. She said timidly, "I-I'm Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master!"

Ghost Charm immediately transmitted his voice from the shadows. "Holy Son, seize her or kill her. She belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so she is destined never to be absorbed by our Spirit Hall. Either kill her or capture her and use her life to threaten the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into joining Spirit Hall."

Zhao Xiaotian replied through voice transmission, "There's no need to kill or threaten her. I have a way to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect willingly join our Spirit Hall."

Ghost Charm was somewhat skeptical after hearing this, but he did not continue transmitting his voice. He simply remained in the shadows, quietly guarding Zhao Xiaotian's side.

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Ning Rongrong. "Ning Rongrong, right? What is your purpose in following me?"

Ning Rongrong replied firmly and boldly, "I like you! I want to pursue you!"

In the shadows, Liu Jin had just taken a sip of tea when he sprayed it out, splashing water all over Ghost Charm's back and soaking a large patch of his clothes.

Scalded by the hot tea in the shadows, Ghost Charm desperately wanted to scream, but he could not make a sound and attract the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect guards protecting Ning Rongrong. He could only endure as the boiling tea slowly ran down his back.

Liu Jin said with a smile, "Xiaotian, you're quite handsome. You actually caught the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess! But between revenge and love, which will you choose?"

Zhao Xiaotian froze when someone suddenly confessed to him. He did not know what had attracted Ning Rongrong to him, though she was indeed quite pretty. Should I agree? But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was his enemy. If he accepted this little girl's confession, what would Qian Renxue think?

Zhao Xiaotian recalled the scene from childhood when Qian Renxue had chased him all over the Worship Hall. His body involuntarily shuddered. Shaking his head, he said, "No! I can't accept you! Please respect yourself. I'm leaving first!"

Before Ning Rongrong could say anything, Zhao Xiaotian had already vanished from before her eyes. Ning Rongrong stomped her foot angrily, then turned around and left the Rose Hotel.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had also gotten their room. When they turned around, they discovered that everyone was gone. Tang San was very confused. He had only gone to get a room, yet everyone had disappeared.
