Wanting it all

"You'd have to ask your son's teacher about that. It's ridiculous, really. A Titled Douluo, he actually let his son go and become the apprentice of that old dragon's good-for-nothing son, a mere level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Now look what's happened, not only is his son stunted, but even his External Soul Bone has been taken away. A perfectly good Innate Full Soul Power has been reduced to a dwarf. It's a truly pitiful sight."

A mocking smile, undisguised, appeared on Dugu Bo's face.

Hearing this, Tang Hao knew all too well that Yu Xiaogang, in order to show off his so-called theory, had made him take out his External Soul Bone External Soul Bone fight against Soul Fighting before it had fully fused with his body, thus exposing it and allowing someone to steal it while he was being chased by Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall.

Filled with anger and rage, his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he began to pant heavily.

"Prison! Little! Anus!"

Tang Hao was gripped by unprecedented madness and rage. He spoke slowly and deliberately, and finally burst into the air, flying towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Bo shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed with this so-called Clear Sky Douluo.

Tang Hao, who once defeated Qian Xunji Pope of the Spirit Hall, was perhaps an unattainable figure for him.

However, once his strength reached a certain level, he discovered that Tang Hao and Tang San were indeed father and son, their temperaments were practically identical. The slightest blow would enrage them to the point of losing their minds.

I really don't know how they survived the Spirit Hall's pursuit back then.

Could it be the Pope of the Spirit Hall...? Suddenly, Dugu Bo seemed to realize something, and a chill ran down his spine.

Without delay, to prevent Tang Hao from attacking Ye Qinghe in a fit of anger, they chased after him.

Because his cultivation level was higher than Tang Hao's and he had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he quickly surpassed Tang Hao and arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy ahead of him.

Meanwhile, when Ye Qinghe and the others arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the main campus square in the center of the academy had already been mostly deserted.

Only Xue Xing Xue Beng, and Ye Lingling waiting here.

Xue Xing Xue Beng rushed to meet them immediately, asking anxiously, "Brother Xue Xing, where is Mr. Dugu?"

It seemed that old man Gu Rong hadn't shown himself in public after returning... Ye Qinghe understood, and then replied perfunctorily, "Gu Rong has been defeated by Senior Dugu, Senior Dugu is currently handling some matters."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing and Xue Beng exchanged a glance, feeling both surprised and excited. Overjoyed, they realized that Dugu Bo's defeat of Gu Rong meant that he was now at least a level 95 Titled Douluo, or even level 96.

In this way, the stronger their backing, the more secure their safety will be in the Heaven Dou Empire. They won't have to worry about Xue Qinghe killing them one day.

"Alright, this is none of your business now. Go back to where you came from," Ye Qinghe impatiently ordered them to leave.

If it were anyone else, these two pampered fellows would have already thrown a tantrum. But Ye Qinghe was the grandson-in-law of their powerful patron, Dugu Bo. Instead of showing any dissatisfaction, they left with a forced smile.

After Xue Xing Xue Beng her nephew left, Ye Lingling stepped forward, looking somewhat reserved, and said, "Captain... my father is waiting for you in meeting room number nine."

"Okay, you guys wait here for me for a bit, I still have some things to take care of." Ye Qinghe turned his gaze to the wooden house, released his Spiritual Power, and quickly sensed Xiao Wu through the wooden house.

It's clear that Xiao Wu is trying her best to suppress her Soul Beast aura to ensure she isn't discovered. Otherwise, even with the cover of the wooden house, she would have no chance of escaping the detection of Gu Rong, a level 95 Titled Douluo.

Dugu Yan knew that Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, Zhu Zhuqing also knew this after following Ye Qinghe. Upon hearing this, the two nodded slightly. As for Ye Lingling, she seemed to have already taken Ye Qinghe into the role of her master, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Ye Qinghe walked towards the wooden house. As soon as he entered, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng summoned their Martial Soul to protect Xiao Wu, who was huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

"Get out of here, you bastard! You're not welcome here!"

These four scoundrels unanimously declared their determination to protect their 'lovers'.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt your Sister Xiao Wu." Ye Qinghe smiled and looked at Xiao Wu, who was being protected behind them. "Rogue Rabbit, would you mind having a chat? As a former alumna of the Nuoding Academy."

After hearing Xiao Wu paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and said to Dai Mubai and the other three, "You all go out first."

"But Sister Xiao Wu, we..." They were worried about Xiao Wu and Ye Qinghe being alone together.

"Get out." Having spent so many years with Tang San in Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu hadn't learned much else, but she had certainly learned to be weak and powerless against outsiders, though she had learned to strike hard against her own people.

Hearing this, the four scoundrels could only reluctantly come out.

"Speak, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Wu forced herself to remain calm as she looked at Ye Qinghe.

"Do you know why I was so hostile towards you back in the Nuoding Academy?" Ye Qinghe said something completely absurd.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and she was also puzzled. Logically speaking, the two had no grudges against each other. In fact, if Ye Qinghe had been willing to accommodate her from the beginning like Tang San, the two might have become very good friends. If things had gone further, she might have even gradually fallen in love with him.

For example, Xiao Wu initially had a great liking for Tang San, until she gradually discovered that Tang San was not growing up, and later even completely unable to grow, so she categorized him as a younger brother type like Da Ming Er Ming.

But this so-called younger brother actually has a Titled Douluo father, yet he doesn't tell her this. Not only does he conspire with his Titled Douluo father to steal her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, but he also puts on all sorts of coy and effeminate acts, all so that she will sacrifice her soul to obtain her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring ahead of time.

Absolutely despicable.

Wait a minute, since Tang San already knew he was Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, Ye Qinghe must have known as well. Otherwise, given Dugu Bo's Titled Douluo cultivation level, having been guarding her in the shadows all along, there's no reason he wouldn't have discovered her and would have captured her long ago.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine and said in a cold voice, "Is it because of Tang San's father, Tang Hao?"

"It seems you've figured it out." Ye Qinghe smiled, speaking simply to Xiao Wu, who wasn't driven by romance.

Xiao Wu didn't answer, but just looked at Ye Qinghe with an indifferent expression.

Ye Qinghe said, "Indeed, if I had chosen to flatter you like Tang San did, or even said things like 'If you want to hurt me, you'll have to step over my body first,' our relationship would only be better than Tang San's before he revealed his true intentions. Perhaps, if we were in mortal danger, you would even have sacrificed yourself for me. But in that case, I would inevitably be targeted by Tang Hao. Even if you were to sacrifice yourself for me, I would still be no match for a Titled Douluo."
