Yu Xiaogang's Deception!

Glancing at Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure, Ning Rongrong giggled and patted Tang Yin on the shoulder.

"Tang Yin, you're amazing!"

"What was that move just now? Was it a Self-Created Soul Skill?"

As he walked off the stage, Tang Yin laughed, "You certainly have a keen eye."

Ning Rongrong tilted her head up and smiled, "Of course!"

Having been raised in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with the best training and two Title Douluo by her side since childhood, things that were inaccessible to ordinary people were within her easy reach.

"Tang Yin!!!"

Xiao Wu had been waiting in the contestant tunnel, and seeing Tang Yin return, she rushed forward to greet him.

Tang Yin opened his arms, pulled Xiao Wu into his embrace, and spun her around twice, beaming with joy.

"I want one too! I want one too!" Ning Rongrong interjected at an inopportune moment.

The next second.

Tang Yin froze in place while holding Xiao Wu, both of them staring at Ning Rongrong with bewildered expressions.

Ning Rongrong's sparkling eyes darted around; she stepped forward, pulled Xiao Wu from Tang Yin's arms, and just as he had done, hugged Xiao Wu and spun her around twice.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu both felt baffled, wearing strange expressions.

"To celebrate my first victory, let's go have a couple of drinks!" Ning Rongrong cheered after putting Xiao Wu down.

"Drinking again?" Tang Yin rubbed his temples.

"You're a man, what's wrong with having a drink? Tang Yin, don't tell me you can't handle it?" Ning Rongrong poked Tang Yin's chest, squinting with a smile.

"Rongrong, you've got that wrong; Tang Yin is actually very capable." Xiao Wu's face flushed as she clung tightly to Tang Yin's arm.

"He was still drunk under the table by us last time!" Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, wiped her nose, and looked smug.

Xiao Wu did not argue with Ning Rongrong again.

Those who knew, knew; those who didn't, she couldn't explain it to—it was too embarrassing.

After collecting their points and rewards, the three prepared to leave the Soto Great Soul Arena.

However...

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, their recent opponents Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, as well as Ma Hongjun and Oscar, were all standing there.

It seemed they were waiting for them.

Seeing Tang Yin, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong arrive, Flender stepped forward.

Tang Yin glanced at Dai Mubai in the crowd; the man's face was deathly pale and his clothes were disheveled.

That was thanks to him holding back.

Otherwise...

Tang Yin withdrew his gaze, looked at Flender, and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, is there something you need?"

Flender fell silent for a moment, then pointed at Ning Rongrong and said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for her."

Hearing this, Tang Yin and Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong in unison, while Ning Rongrong frowned slightly:

"Didn't you think I was the most useless one and try to drive me away?"

"I am no longer a student of Shrek Academy!"

"Tang Yin, Xiao Wu, let's go!"

Ning Rongrong held her head high with a huff, pulling Tang Yin and Xiao Wu as she walked past Flender toward the exit.

Flender turned to watch them, his brows locked in a tight frown.

"Tang Yin!"

Just then, Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke up: "Your father came to see me."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ning Rongrong's footsteps faltered, and she looked at Tang Yin along with Xiao Wu.

Tang Yin looked back, half-doubting.

"Your father hopes you will join Shrek Academy and accept my guidance."

"And in this world, I am the only one who can solve your greatest current cultivation problem."

Yu Xiaogang was naturally referring to the Twin Martial Souls.

Tang Yin understood what Yu Xiaogang meant, but regarding the first half of his statement, perhaps due to prejudice, he didn't quite believe it.

Seeing the look of doubt on Tang Yin's face, Yu Xiaogang frowned and said, "You don't believe me? I have a letter here that your father left for you; you can take a look!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang produced a letter and held it out.

Tang Yin raised an eyebrow.

"Tang Yin, why don't you take it and see?" Xiao Wu whispered.

"Xiao Wu, what does Tang Yin's father do for a living?" Ning Rongrong asked in a low voice.

Xiao Wu replied, "I'll tell you when we get back."

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly.

After careful consideration, Tang Yin flicked out a vine of Blue Silver Emperor, precisely binding the letter and pulling it back to him.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow slightly: "It seems... your mastery over your own martial soul has reached a profound level. Not bad."

Tang Yin ignored Yu Xiaogang and opened the letter to read it. He recalled the letter Tang Hao had entrusted to Jack to pass on to him, comparing the handwriting of the two. He found that the handwriting was not just unrelated; it was identical.

Everything was clearly a scam.

Even if the letter from Tang Hao were real, Tang Yin had no intention of following Yu Xiaogang. He immediately said, "My life is fine as it is, and I have grown accustomed to this unrestrained existence."

"Take this letter back."

"Let's go."

Tang Yin tossed the letter toward Yu Xiaogang and paid him no further mind, taking Xiao Wu's hand and turning to leave. Ning Rongrong made a face at Flender and hurried to catch up with Tang Yin.

Flender's face turned black, his mouth twitching.

In the end, he had failed to complete the task Ning Fengzhi had entrusted to him.

Yu Xiaogang gripped the letter tightly, his fingertips turning white, his brow furrowed as he said, "Let's go back."

Shrek Academy, inside Flender's office.

"Xiaogang, your plan failed. Do you have any other ideas?"

Flender poured himself a cup of cold tea, downed it in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh.

That's right...

The letter Yu Xiaogang had produced earlier was fake...

It was not written by Tang Hao, but by Yu Xiaogang himself...

He had thought he could trick Tang Yin, but he never imagined... it would be utterly useless!

"I have no other ideas."

"Aside from Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Yin has no other family by his side. Usually, only Xiao Wu keeps him company, and he has long since developed an independent personality."

"It seems... there is truly no fate between him and me..."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and sighed.

Flender sat to the side, looking equally dejected.

For a time, only the sound of their sighs remained in the room.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The main assembly hall.

Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the table as a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dressed in white knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully: "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Young Miss... she left Shrek Academy only two days after joining. Recently, she has been staying with a young man and a young woman."

"Oh? Has anything happened?" Ning Fengzhi frowned upon hearing that things had not gone according to his expectations, a look of worry appearing on his elegant and handsome face.

"There was one incident. Shortly after the Young Miss arrived in Suotuo City, she was harassed by a hooligan, but we have already executed him. The Young Miss later followed those two to the Star Dou Forest, but we lost their trail halfway through. However, we found them again in a small town a few days later."

"My subordinate has failed in his duties; please punish me, Sect Master."

The disciple lowered his head deeply.

"Forget it, you may go first."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.

The disciple slowly backed away and left the assembly hall.

"Fengzhi, look at the fine mess you've made!"

"If anything happens to Rongrong out there, this old man will never forgive you!"

Chen Xin arrived on his sword, reprimanding Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master, without a shred of politeness.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
