The students by the training ground fell silent.
The Seven Treasures Token of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was something an ordinary person might not even touch in a lifetime.
Xiao Chenyu stared at the token, forgetting to even swallow the steamed bun in his hand.
Wang Sheng leaned in close to him, lowering his voice.
"Is this thing worth a lot?"
Xiao Chenyu immediately pulled him back.
"You couldn't even afford half a piece if you sold yourself."
Xiao Wu stepped forward to block the path in front of Brother Su Hang, raising her hand to intercept the token.
"What right do you have to come here and look for Brother Su Hang right away?"
Ning Rongrong retracted the token, spinning it half a turn between her fingers.
"Because this young lady has money."
Xiao Wu grabbed Brother Su Hang's sleeve.
"Having money doesn't mean you can just buy people."
Ning Rongrong moved half a step forward.
"I'm only buying him for a while, not for a lifetime."
Xiao Wu immediately turned her head back.
"Brother Su Hang, did you hear that? She even wants to buy you for a lifetime."
Brother Su Hang was holding his teacup and nearly got caught up in their circular logic.
"You two need to get your stories straight first."
Ning Rongrong placed the Seven Treasures Token in her palm and held it out toward Brother Su Hang again.
"Are you taking it or not?"
Brother Su Hang didn't take it.
"Explain first what you want to verify."
Ning Rongrong glanced at the surrounding students, then looked at Xiao Wu beside Brother Su Hang.
"There are too many people here."
Xiao Wu immediately retorted.
"Then don't say it."
Ning Rongrong let out a soft huff, stepped half a step closer to Brother Su Hang, and lowered her voice.
"Selling sausages."
Brother Su Hang's cup lid tapped lightly against the rim of the cup.
Ning Rongrong pressed further.
"And, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect bleeding."
As these words fell, Brother Su Hang was certain.
The diary copy was already in her hands.
Ning Rongrong had come here claiming to verify things, but in reality, she wanted to see just how accurate the future events in the diary truly were.
Xiao Wu was left completely bewildered.
"What selling sausages?"
Ning Rongrong lifted her chin.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Wu's hand, which was gripping Brother Su Hang's sleeve, pulled up even tighter.
"If it has to do with him, it has to do with me."
Watching her protective stance, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but retort.
"You're quite the busybody."
Xiao Wu didn't back down at all.
"I like it that way."
Brother Su Hang set his teacup down on the stone table.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is beautiful, and its amplification is powerful."
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to respond, Brother Su Hang continued.
"But it is stuck at a bottleneck."
Ning Rongrong's fingertips paused on the edge of the token.
The surrounding students did not understand.
Tang San, however, lifted his head after hearing this.
Yu Xiaogang also looked over.
The upper echelons of the soul master world had heard a thing or two about the limitations of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Seven Treasures, after all, remained Seven Treasures.
Going any further was difficult.
Ning Rongrong pressed the token under her palm.
"You even know about this?"
Su Hang responded casually.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect didn't exactly bury this matter in the dirt."
Ning Rongrong was unconvinced.
"But you're just a work-study student from Notting Academy, how could you possibly know?"
Su Hang picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Xiao Wu.
"I know many things."
Xiao Wu took the pastry and nodded immediately.
"That's right, Brother Su Hang knows so much."
Seeing her natural demeanor, Ning Rongrong felt even more uncomfortable.
"I asked him, not you."
Xiao Wu took a bite of the pastry.
"I'm just proud of him."
Tang San stepped forward two paces at this moment.
"If Miss Ning wishes to understand the limitations of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, perhaps you could let my teacher analyze it."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, moving to stand beside Tang San.
"The development of support-type martial souls centers on amplification ratios, soul power capacity, and martial soul structure."
"The innate advantages of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda are very strong, but the layer limitations are also quite obvious."
"If we approach it from the direction of martial soul evolution, it may well have research value."
Ning Rongrong turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
"Can you make the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda evolve?"
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment.
"That would require a vast amount of data and long-term deduction."
Tang San continued.
"My teacher's theoretical system is very complete."
"If he can find a control path for a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, he can certainly analyze the direction for the bottleneck of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
Someone on the sidelines let out a low chuckle.
Xiao Chenyu hurriedly covered his mouth, turning away to stifle his laughter.
Su Hang tapped the tabletop with his finger.
"Don't be in such a rush to fix the pagoda when you haven't even patched the leaks in the Blue Silver Grass."
Laughter erupted around the training ground.
Wang Sheng hugged his steamed bun and crouched directly behind the wooden railing.
"Boss Su's words are too savage."
Xiao Chenyu also lowered his voice.
"Savage, yes, but accurate."
Yu Xiaogang's fingers pressed into his sleeves, his posture still rigid.
"It is normal for soul skills to have a breaking-in period when first mastered."
Su Hang looked at Tang San's right hand.
"Is it still numb after all this breaking in?"
Tang San pulled his sleeve down.
"Cultivation as a soul master naturally requires paying a price."
Su Hang nodded.
"Fine, as long as you're happy."
This sentence landed lightly, yet it was more stifling than any argument.
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San, then at Yu Xiaogang, suddenly finding the contents of the diary even more intriguing.
Tang San was indeed composed.
Yu Xiaogang was indeed fond of preaching theory.
Yet, whenever these two encountered Su Hang, they could never gain the upper hand.
Ning Rongrong slapped the Seven Treasures Token onto the stone table.
"Su Hang, this young lady is buying half a day of your time."
"Do you dare to accept?"
The token landed on the tabletop with a crisp clatter.
Xiao Wu immediately pulled Su Hang toward her side.
"He is very expensive; you can't afford him."
Ning Rongrong refused to concede, tapping her finger against the token.
"Can't even afford half a day with the favor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's little princess?"
Xiao Wu puffed out her chest.
"Can't afford it."
Ning Rongrong stepped forward.
"You aren't him."
Xiao Wu retorted quickly.
"I'm on his side."
Ning Rongrong looked at Su Hang.
"You just let her boss you around like that?"
Su Hang picked up the Seven Treasures Token and turned it over between his fingers.
The craftsmanship was exquisite, and it contained the unique soul power imprint of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Taking this out would indeed save a lot of trouble.
Seeing him finally take the token, Ning Rongrong immediately lifted her chin.
"That's more like it."
Xiao Wu hurriedly tugged at Su Hang's sleeve.
"Are you really going to sell half a day?"
Su Hang placed the token back on the table.
"Verification is possible."
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Su Hang raised his hand to press down on the edge of the token.
"But I choose the location, and I choose the people."
Ning Rongrong stared at the pinned-down Seven Treasures Token.
"You're quite good at negotiating terms."
Su Hang looked toward the other side of the training ground.
"Tang San must be present as well."
Tang San's movement of adjusting his cuffs paused.
Yu Xiaogang looked over as well.
Ning Rongrong became interested.
"Why bring him?"
Su Hang picked up his teacup; the tea had already gone cold.
"Because some things aren't interesting to verify alone."
Xiao Wu leaned in close to him.
"What about me?"
Su Hang replied decisively.
"You come along."
Xiao Wu was immediately satisfied.
"That's more like it."
Ning Rongrong pushed the Seven Treasures Token toward Su Hang.
"Fine, this young lady accepts your rules."
Tang San stood where he was, not agreeing immediately.
Su Hang, however, was already looking at him.
"Tang San, do you dare to enter this Verification Bureau?"
