Bibi Dong's Disdain? Xue Qinghe's Recruitment!

Looking at the dim, damp environment, Zhou Tong felt quite sorrowful.

Furthermore, the entire process of A Yin's fall was riddled with suspicious points.

Since she was pregnant, why not hide away to nurture the fetus in peace instead of wandering about and drawing the attention of Spirit Hall?

Moreover, A Yin was clearly a Spirit Emperor who had entered her maturity phase and could perfectly conceal her aura; how could she have been discovered by Spirit Hall?

After A Yin sacrificed herself, why didn't Tang Hao send her back to the Blue Silver Forest to seek the help of the Blue Silver King so she could recover as quickly as possible?

Instead, he treated A Yin like a tool, sealing her away in a valley, terrified that she might run off and prevent the Tang family from harvesting the value she possessed.

There were suspicious points everywhere, which made Zhou Tong deeply skeptical of Tang Hao.

Especially when compared to Tang Hao's son, Tang San, who learned and replicated Tang Hao's methods.

He also used the guise of love to trick the hundred-thousand-year spirit beast Xiao Wu into sacrificing her spirit ring and spirit bone.

If that wasn't clear enough, one only had to look at Tang San's descendant, Tang Wulin, who also married the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

The Tang family had been using the tactic of love to harvest the resources of high-level spirit beasts.

The women of this "Love-Brain Continent" were simply too easy to deceive.

Once they fell for the professional scammers of the Tang family, they were hooked every single time.

While feeling that A Yin's sacrifice was worthless, Zhou Tong entered the depths of the cave.

Inside, a small mound of dirt appeared.

Growing atop the mound was a stalk of somewhat yellowish Blue Silver Grass; at a glance, it lacked any vitality and was merely struggling to survive.

If not for the golden veins running through the withered grass, Zhou Tong would not have believed this was the Blue Silver Emperor.

He fumbled along the rock wall and finally found a large box.

He carefully opened the lead box, and immediately, a rich aura of life emanated from it.

This surge of life energy was enough to make Zhou Tong feel refreshed throughout his entire body the moment it was released.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was pale blue throughout; although it was a spirit bone, it felt warm and smooth to the touch, as if it were jade, with gentle yet surging spirit power flowing through it.

"It truly lives up to being a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone!"

"Take it!"

He gently closed the lid and stored it inside his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

Immediately after, he dug up the Blue Silver Emperor, planted it in a flowerpot, and swaggered out of the place.

Before leaving, he planted a common stalk of Blue Silver Grass in its place as a disguise.

Returning to Nuoding City, he did not immediately absorb the spirit bone or the Blue Silver Emperor, but instead went to work at the Spirit Hall Branch as usual.

After all, his sudden disappearance would easily attract attention.

Before Bibi Dong arrived, he had already received news that the Pope was not very satisfied with him.

Therefore, the reason Zhou Tong had left that day was actually a pre-arranged excuse: he had requested leave for closed-door cultivation.

Grandpa Martino was very understanding, even feeling a bit guilty in his heart.

Because he had intended to recommend Zhou Tong to Bibi Dong, yet who would have thought that Bibi Dong would act out of character and dislike this genius.

Thus, he had told Zhou Tong about this in advance, letting him hide away to avoid being blamed by Bibi Dong.

Not long after, Bibi Dong left the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, and only then did Zhou Tong feel relieved.

However, to his surprise, Grandpa Martino brought him before three strangers.

At a glance, he knew these three were no ordinary people.

In the center of the three stood a delicate young man dressed in white, only a few years older than Zhou Tong.

Beside him were two powerhouses exuding terrifying pressure.

One had a cold expression and sharp features, with a tall, thin build that stood as straight and sharp as a spear.

The other appeared to be an ordinary old man of medium build with no obvious distinguishing features.

"Zhou Tong, this is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire. Your opportunity has arrived."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke, "Greetings, Your Highness."

He had not expected that after losing his opportunity with Spirit Hall, he would be sought out by Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) instead.

It seemed Heaven had not forsaken him.

Zhou Tong knew that this Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise; now that she was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she held many resources in her hands.

In particular, she controlled the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; if she were to speak up, entering that academy to study would certainly not be difficult.

In fact, Zhou Tong had also thought about entering this academy.

After all, it contained abundant resources and a simulated cultivation environment used for training lightning-attribute spirit power.

But the academy had high requirements and demanded a noble background for entry.

Therefore, he had never found an opportunity to get in.

Perhaps the turning point lay with this suddenly visiting Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).

Xue Qinghe took the initiative to speak, "Little brother Zhou Tong, I heard that you possess a rare lightning-attribute martial soul and are a soul master with innate full soul power."

"It is truly a pity that the Pope of Spirit Hall is blind to talent, actually ostracizing a genius such as yourself."

Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) was incredibly charismatic, capturing Zhou Tong's heart the moment she spoke.

Looking at the Zhou Tong before her, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) sensed the powerful lightning energy within him and marveled inwardly; he truly was a little monster.

However, she was fond of such people.

The more talent she had under her command, the greater her chances of opposing Bibi Dong in the future.

Since her mother did not favor her, she would make her mother see exactly how powerful she, Qian Renxue, truly was.

Qian Renxue felt that Zhou Tong was a genius sent to her by the heavens.

Furthermore, he was a genius ostracized by Bibi Dong, making him a natural ally.

"It is truly too difficult for a commoner soul master."

"Just because of a single argument, Yu Xiaogang held a grudge against me and even bewitched the Pope, leaving me with no path for cultivation."

Zhou Tong said with great grievance.

Yu Xiaogang was truly sinister and vicious, actually writing a secret letter to the Pope to prevent Zhou Tong from entering Spirit Hall.

Zhou Tong wished he could tear this vicious piece of trash, Yu Xiaogang, to shreds right now.

Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) laughed immediately, "Little brother Zhou Tong, if the Pope does not want you, I do!"

"I have connections at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; would you be willing to go to that academy to study?"

Zhou Tong was, of course, delighted; it was as if someone had brought him a pillow just as he was feeling sleepy.

He immediately said, "Big Brother Xue, please accept this younger brother's bow."

Zhou Tong gave a cute smile. He was not even seven years old yet, and his handsome little face was full of youthful vitality, looking very charming.

Since Qian Renxue had come to recruit him personally, what else was there to say? He would just cling to her thigh.

As long as he clung to the right thigh, a good life in the future would be guaranteed.

Moreover, Qian Renxue was a future enemy of Tang San, making her a natural ally for Zhou Tong.

With the two of them joining forces, wouldn't dealing with Tang San be as easy as pie?

Hearing this, Qian Renxue beamed with joy, "Good, good, good! Little brother Zhou Tong, from now on, Big Brother will look after you!"

"As long as you are within the Heaven Dou Empire, just mention my name, and I guarantee no one will dare to bully you!"

"Many thanks, Big Brother Xue!"

Following this, the two chatted for a while. Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) gifted Zhou Tong a soul tool and left him a token before departing in a luxurious carriage.

"Qian Renxue is truly a good person."

Zhou Tong looked at the token in his hand with a face full of smiles, waving goodbye to Qian Renxue.
