Tell Them to Get Lost!

Tang San followed closely behind Grandmaster, heading toward the area where His Highness the Crown Prince was resting.

Back on the first day of the Soul Master Tournament's opening, they had already seen Xue Qinghe from afar.

It was just that Shrek Academy had not yet made a name for itself then, and Grandmaster had not dared take Tang San to visit Xue Qinghe. Even if they had gone, the other party might not have been willing to receive them.

But things were different now. Shrek Academy had forcefully taken first place in the Heaven Dou Competition Zone, and Tang San in particular had astonished the entire audience with his terrifying talent.

Twin Martial Souls, the frightening control of Blue Silver Grass, the terrifying attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer—such outstanding talent made many people envious, jealous, and resentful.

As Grandmaster walked, he smiled and said, "With your performance in the competition, Xue Qinghe will definitely receive us warmly, and he will certainly invite you to serve the imperial family as well. But you don't need to accept his invitation. You only need to maintain a friendly relationship with him."

"Teacher, I understand," Tang San said.

Grandmaster sighed and said, "What a pity. If we had been able to befriend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before, we should long since have become friends with Xue Qinghe through Ning Fengzhi. We wouldn't have had to wait until now."

Tang San smiled and said, "Teacher, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. If we had met Xue Qinghe through Ning Fengzhi back then, it would only mean Xue Qinghe was giving Ning Fengzhi face. He might not have valued me much. But now, my talent and strength have both been displayed. I no longer need to rely on anyone.
