He Is My Beloved's Beloved

Lu Fan did not stay long on this return trip.

After all, he was heading to Heaven Dou City with Qin Ming and the others.

Their detour to Suotuo City had already been unexpected, so naturally, they could not stay for long.

However, before leaving, both Qin Ming and Lu Fan had personal matters to discuss with everyone at Shrek.

"Senior Qin, do you also have something to discuss with Dean Flender?"

Watching Qin Ming walk toward Flender alongside him, Lu Fan spoke up.

Qin Ming nodded. "I plan to persuade the dean to come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with me. Mu Bai, Xiao Ao, and Hong Jun are all rare talents. Even at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only Yu Tianheng could compare with them. Even Poison Douluo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, falls short."

"If they remain here forever, it would be a waste of their talents. Of course, I'm not saying the academy is bad. It's just that, Junior Lu, you know the academy's circumstances."

Lu Fan nodded. "Then go ahead, Senior Qin. I'll wait outside."

Qin Ming nodded and, without standing on ceremony, went in first.

Lu Fan waited outside for a while.

As a Soul Elder, his hearing was fairly sharp.

He also heard the argument inside.

"Shrek is the dream of my old brothers and me. I will never give it up!"

"But even if you are willing to suffer, you have to consider the children! In this backwater place, the academy does not even have a single intact signboard. They cannot enjoy resources worthy of their talents at all!"

"Dean, as long as you come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I guarantee that their treatment will not be inferior to Tianheng's. And with your strength, wouldn't you all be able to find a good place to retire as well?"

"Sigh, give me some time to think it over."

When Qin Ming came out, the expression on his face was visibly much more relaxed.

Perhaps the thought of soon working alongside his former teachers again had lifted his spirits.

He looked at Lu Fan, who was waiting outside, and nodded. "Junior Lu, you can go in now. Also, if you have nothing else to do, remember to gather at the city gate this afternoon. We're preparing to return to Heaven Dou City."

Lu Fan nodded in agreement. "I understand. I'll be there on time."

When Lu Fan walked in, he saw Flender slumped weakly in his chair, his face full of dejection.

"It's Xiao Fan. Are you leaving too?"

Flender looked at Lu Fan and forced a smile.

Lu Fan nodded. "I'll be leaving with Senior Qin and the others. I have something to do in Heaven Dou City."

Flender nodded. "That's good. With Qin Ming with you, you can look after one another and be much safer."

Lu Fan said, "But besides saying goodbye, I have something else to tell you this time. It concerns your lives. This is no joke."

Seeing Lu Fan so serious,

Flender put aside his sadness and began to take the matter seriously.

Seeing Flender straighten his attitude, Lu Fan said, "You should prepare yourself first. This concerns your brother, Yu Xiaogang."

"It concerns Xiaogang?"

Flender raised an eyebrow.

He had not heard that name in a very long time.

He had not expected that after all these years apart, Gangzi had apparently brought a life-threatening disaster upon him.

What kind of mess was this?

For a moment, Flender felt rather speechless.

"It's fine, Xiao Fan. Just tell me what happened."

Even so, their old friendship remained. If he could resolve it, Flender did not mind lending Yu Xiaogang a hand.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was his beloved's beloved...

Lu Fan nodded. "Then I'll be direct. Yu Xiaogang took in a disciple named Tang San. He is a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."

"That's a good thing. Xiaogang is really lucky. It seems his theories have finally found a chance to be put into practice."

Flender was pleased by this.

Lu Fan shook his head. "Innate Full Soul Power is not the key. The key is that this Tang San's surname is Tang."

"What is wrong with being surnamed Tang? There are countless people in the world with the surname Tang..."

Flender suddenly thought of something.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

"There's an even bigger coincidence." Lu Fan said, "Tang San's father is Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."

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

"And according to the information I received, after Tang San graduates from Nuoding Primary Academy in two years, Yu Xiaogang intends to bring him to Shrek Academy."

"Dean, you should know that I am with Spirit Hall now. In particular, my teacher, Chrysanthemum Douluo, has a deep grudge against Tang San's family."

"So you hope I won't take Xiaogang in..."

Flender fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Fine. This matter involves too much. I only want to run the academy well and do not wish to get involved in so many affairs."

But Lu Fan shook his head. "No, you need to take them in."

"Why?"

Flender frowned. He could not understand what Lu Fan was trying to do.

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

"Are you planning to use my hand to get rid of Tang San? Sorry, Xiao Fan. He is Xiaogang's disciple. I can't do that..."

Flender shook his head. The loyalty in his heart would not allow him to betray his brother like that.

Especially since the other party was the man his beloved loved. If he died, his beloved would suffer terribly.

Lu Fan shook his head. "I don't care about Tang San. Tang San is not important. What I care about is that there will be a girl by his side then."

To Lu Fan, Tang San truly was not important. Not only did his current self utterly surpass Tang San in every aspect,

more importantly, without Immortal Herbs, Tang San would never catch up to him in this lifetime. The gap between them would only grow wider.

"That girl carries a great secret. Clear Sky Douluo may even be protecting her in secret the entire time, so I hope she can remain under our watch..."

Lu Fan's explanation that followed was rather forced.

But for now, it was not suitable for him to directly fight Tang Hao for Xiao Wu.

If he really did that, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would most likely end up benefiting 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 the time being, placing both Xiao Wu and Tang San at Shrek Academy was also a good choice.

There were no resources here to aid cultivation. Any improvement could only come from practicing the meditation method.

"Also, I recommend that you go to Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. It is a high-level Soul Master Academy, and its headmaster is named Liu Erlong."

Lu Fan made his recommendation.

According to his plan,

he would take Dugu Bo away when the time came.

Tang Hao could not possibly watch over 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 only needed to wait until his cultivation was high enough for him to withstand a 100,000-year Spirit Ring.
