He is the Lover of My Lover

Lu Fan did not stay long on this trip back.

Because he was planning to head to Heaven Dou City together with Qin Ming and the others.

Their detour to Suotuo City had been unexpected to begin with, so naturally, they could not remain for long.

However, before leaving, both Qin Ming and Lu Fan had private matters to discuss with the members of Shrek Academy.

"Does Senior Qin also have something to discuss with Dean Flender?"

Seeing Qin Ming walking toward Flender alongside him, Lu Fan asked.

Qin Ming nodded: "I intend to persuade the Dean to come with me to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Mu Bai, Xiao Ao, and Hong Jun are rare geniuses; even at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only Yu Tianheng can compare to them, and even Poison Douluo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is a notch below."

"If they are left here, it would be a waste of their talent. Of course, I don't mean that the academy is bad, but Junior Lu, you know the situation of the academy as well as I do."

Lu Fan nodded: "Then you go ahead, Senior Qin. I will wait for you outside."

Qin Ming nodded and, without standing on ceremony, took the lead.

Lu Fan waited outside for a while.

As a Soul Elder, his hearing was quite sharp.

He could hear the argument taking place inside the room.

"Shrek is the dream of my old brothers and me; I cannot possibly give it up!"

"But even if you are willing to suffer, you must consider the children! In this backwater place, the academy doesn't even have a decent sign; they cannot access resources that match their talent!"

"Dean, as long as you come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I guarantee their treatment will be no less than that of Tianheng and the others. Besides, with your strength, you could all find a good place to retire, couldn't you?"

"Sigh, give me some time to consider it."

When Qin Ming emerged, one could see that the expression on his face had eased significantly.

Perhaps the prospect of working with his former teachers had lifted his spirits.

He looked at Lu Fan, who was waiting outside, and nodded: "Junior Lu, you may go in. Also, if there is nothing else, remember to gather at the city gate this afternoon. We are preparing to return to Heaven Dou City."

Lu Fan nodded in agreement: "I understand, I will be there on time."

As Lu Fan walked in, he saw Flender, his face full of dejection, leaning powerlessly against his chair.

"Is that you, Xiao Fan? Are you leaving too?"

Flender looked at Lu Fan and managed to force a smile.

Lu Fan nodded: "I will be traveling with Senior Qin and the others. I have some business to attend to in Heaven Dou City."

Flender nodded: "That's good. With Qin Ming accompanying you, you can look out for each other and be much safer."

Lu Fan said: "However, besides saying goodbye, I have something else to tell you, Dean. This matter concerns your lives; I am not joking."

Seeing Lu Fan so serious, Flender put aside his inner distress and began to take it to heart.

Seeing that Flender had adopted a serious attitude, Lu Fan said, "You need to prepare yourself mentally for this. It concerns your brother, Yu Xiaogang."

"It concerns Xiaogang?"

Flender raised an eyebrow.

It had been a long time since he had heard that name.

He never expected that after so many years of not seeing each other, this fellow Gangzi would have managed to invite a death-defying disaster upon himself.

What kind of situation was this?

For a moment, Flender felt quite speechless.

"It's alright, Xiao Fan. Just tell me what the situation is."

Despite the circumstances, the old bond remained; if he could resolve it, Flender would not mind pulling Yu Xiaogang out of the fire.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was the beloved of his own beloved...

Lu Fan nodded: "Then I will be blunt. Yu Xiaogang has taken on a disciple named Tang San. The boy is a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."

"That's excellent. That fellow Xiaogang is truly lucky. I suppose his theories finally have a chance to be put into practice."

Flender felt gratified by this.

Lu Fan shook his head: "The point is not the Innate Full Soul Power; the point is that this person named Tang San has the surname Tang."

"What is the problem with the surname Tang? There are people surnamed Tang all over the world..."

Flender suddenly thought of something.

"It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?"

"There is an even greater coincidence," Lu Fan said. "The father of that person named Tang San is the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."

"Furthermore, Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls. On the surface, he cultivates Blue Silver Grass, but in secret, he also wields a Clear Sky Hammer."

"And I have received intelligence that Yu Xiaogang intends to bring him to Shrek Academy in two years, once Tang San graduates from Nuoding Primary Academy."

"Dean, you should know that I am now a member of the Martial Soul Hall, and my teacher, Chrysanthemum Douluo, has a deep-seated grudge against Tang San's family in particular."

"So, are you hoping that I won't take in Xiaogang..."

Flender was silent for a moment before nodding: "Very well. After all, this matter involves too much, and I only wish to run the academy well; I have no desire to get involved in so many affairs."

However, Lu Fan shook his head and said: "No, you must take them in."

"Why?"

Flender frowned, finding himself unable to understand what Lu Fan was planning.

Naturally, Lu Fan could not explain that he had his sights set on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, one that had transformed into human form and even acknowledged Tang San as her brother.

"Are you trying to use my hands to eliminate Tang San? I'm sorry, Xiao Fan, but he is Xiaogang's disciple after all; I cannot do such a thing..."

Flender shook his head, his sense of loyalty preventing him from committing such a betrayal against his brother.

Especially since the person in question was the beloved of his own sweetheart; if he were to die, his beloved would be devastated.

Lu Fan shook his head: "I don't care about Tang San. Tang San is unimportant. What I care about is the girl who will be by his side when the time comes."

To Lu Fan, Tang San was indeed unimportant, not only because he currently crushed the other in every aspect.

More importantly, without an Immortal Herb, Tang San would never be able to catch up to him in this lifetime, and the gap between them would only continue to widen.

"That girl carries a great secret, and Clear Sky Douluo might even be protecting her from the shadows, so I want her to stay right under our noses..."

Lu Fan's subsequent explanation was quite far-fetched.

But for the time being, it was not convenient for him to directly clash with Tang Hao to snatch Xiao Wu.

If he were to truly do that, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would most likely end up as a wedding dress for someone else.

If she went to the Elder Hall, she would belong to Bibi Dong; if she went to the Worship Hall, she would belong to Qian Renxue.

For now, placing both Xiao Wu and Tang San in Shrek Academy was a decent choice.

There were no resources here to aid in cultivation, so improvement would rely solely on the circulation of meditation techniques.

"Additionally, I recommend that you and the others head to the Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. It is a high-level Soul Master Academy, and its headmistress is named Liu Erlong."

Lu Fan suggested.

According to his plan, he would take Dugu Bo away when the time came.

That fellow Tang Hao could not possibly guard Xiao Wu and Tang San every single day.

He would then find an opportunity to give Xiao Wu an Immortal Herb capable of concealing her aura.

After that, he would only need to wait until his own cultivation was sufficient to withstand a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
