Tang Wei, Who Thought Himself Clever

Tang Weiwei.

Tang Yuehua.

One was an elder of the sect.

The other was his daughter.

Tang Wei was torn.

A sly idea suddenly struck him, and he said, "Qian Xunji, I'll sell Tang Yuehua to you."

"But first, you have to let my son Tang Hao absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring."

"It's nearly dead. I don't want to lose my daughter and end up with nothing."

Qian Xunji shook his head and refused. "No, Sect Master Tang. I can't trust you. What if you change your mind and back out? Who would I go to for justice?"

"Bring Tang Yuehua here first."

"Then we'll trade Tang Yuehua for the Titan Giant Ape, one hand for the other."

"As for the Soul Beast's injuries, don't worry. I can make sure it stays alive for ten days to half a month."

"That's more than enough time for you to bring Tang Yuehua back."

"Or is it that you have no sincerity at all, Sect Master Tang, and want to get something for nothing?" A fierce glint flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes, as if daring Tang Wei to refuse him.

Tang Wei was indeed cowed by Qian Xunji's fierce glare, and had no choice but to consider the conditions Qian Xunji had proposed.

After all, Tang Wei truly didn't want to give up the chance to help Tang Hao advance further.

For now, he could only make his daughter, Tang Yuehua, suffer a little. She had enjoyed the Clear Sky Sect's resources and status for so many years; it was time she made some contribution to the sect.

Qian Xunji was right. Trading a useless person for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was a sure win.

Besides, he wasn't asking Tang Yuehua to stay with Qian Xunji forever. Once Tang Hao became a Super Douluo, he could go to Slaughter City and bring their father back. Then they could demand justice from Spirit Hall and take Tang Yuehua back.

Tang Wei looked at Qian Xunji and agreed. "Fine, Qian Xunji. I'll give you Tang Yuehua, but you have to promise to keep this Soul Beast alive."

Seeing this, Tang Hao had wanted to speak up and stop him. But when he thought that stopping the deal would surely leave Ah Yin suffering, he chose to say nothing.

After all, his sister couldn't compare to Ah Yin.

"Go on, Sect Master Tang. I'll make sure the Titan Giant Ape stays alive," Qian Xunji said, waving him off impatiently.

"Five elders, keep an eye on Qian Xunji. Don't let him try anything," Tang Wei instructed before leaving.

At that moment, Tang Yuehua wasn't at the Clear Sky Sect. She was studying at the Heaven Dou Empire's royal etiquette school.

Spirit City wasn't far from Heaven Dou City.

Tang Wei reached Heaven Dou City in a single day.

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire.

Heaven Dou City.

After entering Heaven Dou City, Tang Wei headed straight for the Heaven Dou Royal Etiquette Academy.

The etiquette academy.

After entering the academy, Tang Wei didn't alert anyone. He planned to quietly knock Tang Yuehua out, abduct her, and hand her over to Qian Xunji.

That way, Tang Yuehua would only think that Qian Xunji had sent someone to take her from Heaven Dou City, not that her own father had done it.

Tang Wei had always kept an eye on Tang Yuehua, even after she came to Heaven Dou City and enrolled at the Heaven Dou Royal Etiquette Academy.

So Tang Wei knew where she was.

Ten minutes later.

Tang Wei appeared at Tang Yuehua's residence.

At that moment, Tang Yuehua was studying noble etiquette and hadn't noticed that someone had entered her room.

By the time she realized, her vision went black, and Tang Wei had knocked her unconscious.

Before losing consciousness, Tang Yuehua felt both furious and afraid.

She was furious because she was the Clear Sky Sect's princess. Who could be so bold as to target her?

She was afraid because, though she was the Clear Sky Sect's princess, she hadn't inherited the sect's Clear Sky Hammer and could never break through to level ten.

If the person who had knocked her out had designs on her, she would be doomed today, her chastity ruined.

She was so unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do.

She had already passed out.

Douluo Continent, Spirit City.

A day later, Qian Xunji reckoned Tang Wei would soon be back and headed toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"Qian Xunji, what are you doing? Don't you dare try anything!" Tang Hao hurriedly called out to stop him. He knew what kind of person Qian Xunji was; he would never hand over the Titan Giant Ape so easily.

Qian Xunji was a little speechless. "What am I doing?"

"Obviously, I'm checking the Titan Giant Ape's injuries. It's barely breathing. If it dies and you can't absorb its Soul Ring, don't blame me. You're the one who stopped me from treating it."

Tang Hao's expression shifted slightly. "Qian Xunji, I don't trust you. Why don't you just let me kill the Titan Giant Ape now and absorb its Soul Ring?"

"When my father brings my sister here, I'll hand her over to you myself. But on one condition: you can't torment Ah Yin too much from now on."

"Don't try that on me." Qian Xunji refused outright. "Who knows if you and Tang Wei planned this beforehand?"

"I don't want to give up the Soul Beast and get nothing in return. I'll say it again: we trade one for the other. We'll talk once your father brings Tang Yuehua here."

"Of course, if Tang Weiwei is willing to contribute to her young master and become my servant, I'd be all for it."

"Tang Weiwei, are you willing to do something for your young master, Tang Hao?" Qian Xunji fixed his gaze on Tang Weiwei once again.

Tang Weiwei was furious!

But when she thought of Tang Wei's authority, and the fact that she couldn't beat Qian Xunji, her spirits immediately sank.

If she ruined things for Tang Wei and Tang Hao, those two might really sell her to Qian Xunji.

After all, Tang Yuehua was their own flesh and blood. Tang Weiwei was only from a collateral branch, and happened to have awakened the Clear Sky Hammer through a return to her Martial Soul's ancestral form.

Tang Weiwei remained silent.

Qian Xunji lost interest in teasing Tang Weiwei and looked at Tang Hao again, giving him one last warning:

"Tang Hao, listen carefully. You're the one who stopped me from treating the Titan Giant Ape. If it dies, don't blame me. Once Tang Yuehua arrives, you'll make the trade whether you like it or not."

When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Tang Hao gritted his teeth. "Fine, Qian Xunji. I'll trust you this once."

"If you dare try anything, I'll be your sworn enemy."

You fool, Tang Hao. We've been sworn enemies for ages.

Qian Xunji mocked him inwardly, then walked toward the Titan Giant Ape and unleashed his fifth Soul Skill—Light Healing.

Golden light enveloped the Titan Giant Ape, and the hidden injuries within its body quickly began to heal.

At the same time, Qian Xunji secretly sent it a telepathic message. "Titan Giant Ape, if you don't want to die, don't move. I've only healed some of your hidden injuries."

"Whether you survive is up to fate."

"When Tang Hao comes to kill you, that'll be your best chance to strike."

The Titan Giant Ape didn't know why Qian Xunji was helping it, but it knew better than to ignore his advice!

It kept pretending to be unconscious.

"Qian Xunji, enough, enough! You'll heal it completely if you keep going," Tang Hao hurriedly called out to stop him. He had no desire to go through the misery of ganging up on the Titan Giant Ape again.

A day later, Tang Wei brought Tang Yuehua to Spirit City.

Tang Yuehua was still unconscious.

"Qian Xunji, here. I've brought her to you. I can take the Soul Beast now, right?"

Qian Xunji took Tang Yuehua and studied her beautiful face, frowning slightly as he asked, "Why is she unconscious?"
