How Did You Investigate Me? You Don't Want Others to Know, Do You?

They were somewhat stunned.

He turned himself into a fireball and crashed down in the center of the ground, causing a violent tremor and explosion.

That way, Ao Silo would be caught in the blast and injured as well.

Ao Silo had no defensive soul skill to begin with, so he was easily taken down.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Dugu Yan clapped her hands. "As expected of you."

Having come back to her senses, Dugu Yan applauded and cheered.

She greatly admired Jiang Nanchen's maneuver. If it had been her, she might not have been able to pull off something like that.

Ye Lingling raised her hands and applauded, though she was not as exaggerated as Dugu Yan. It was mainly due to her personality.

"Lingling, please heal Ao Silo."

Zhi Lin reminded her.

Ye Lingling nodded and spread open her palm. The Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul appeared, a nine-petaled begonia fading from pink to white resting in her hand. Soft vines draped downward as a faint vitality began to flow into Ao Silo's body.

A moment later, Ao Silo's pale face regained its color, his breathing steadied, and he finally seemed alive again.

"Thanks, Lingling."

Ao Silo thanked her, then walked over to Jiang Nanchen, who had just landed. "I underestimated you. You're even stronger than I imagined."

"You let me win." Jiang Nanchen smiled faintly.

Looking at the six-year-old Jiang Nanchen before him, Ao Silo felt that losing to him was not unjustified.

"The first match is over. Now you may do as you please. You can challenge anyone you want, but stop before things go too far."

Zhi Lin explained the precautions and warned them not to seriously injure anyone.

After finishing the first match, Jiang Nanchen had no desire to fight a second one. The consumption had been too great, and he needed a large amount of food to replenish his strength.

He had not eaten much that morning, and one match had already drained more than half his strength, so he planned to wait until lunch.

Sitting in the resting area to the side, Jiang Nanchen had intended to lazily bask in the sun, but Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling walked over.

"Little Nanchen, and you're already resting after just one match?"

Seeing Jiang Nanchen looking as though he had already given up, Dugu Yan was truly surprised and could not help asking.

"The consumption was too great. How much soul power do you think a six-year-old like me can store?"

Jiang Nanchen waved his hand, telling her not to talk so easily when she was not in his position.

"That's true, but don't sleep. Keep us company and chat with us. It'll help pass the time."

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling over and sat down beside Jiang Nanchen.

"You two aren't going to fight?" Jiang Nanchen opened his eyes, slightly surprised as he looked at the energetic Dugu Yan and the still-calm Ye Lingling.

"What would we go there for? I use poison, and Lingling is a healer. We definitely can't beat that bunch of monsters. We might as well rest here. We've already fought enough recently."

Dugu Yan waved her hand.

She had no intention of asking for trouble.

Although she could defeat quite a few people, fighting back and forth was too troublesome. She would rather rest here obediently.

"You talk. I'll answer."

Jiang Nanchen said calmly.

"Works for me." Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Little Nanchen, are you really from Holy Soul Village?"

"Of course. The real deal."

I escaped from the tiger's jaws.

He definitely would not let go of that Blue Silver Emperor soul bone in Holy Soul Village.

Even if he did not absorb it, he could not possibly leave it for Tang Hao.

The night he left, there was no need to think about it—Tang Hao had definitely gone to the house intending to kill him. But things were different now. As long as Tang Hao dared to show himself, Jiang Nanchen would let him experience despair.

"I asked around and heard that there's another Blue Silver Grass soul master in Holy Soul Village with innate full soul power. Is that true?"

Dugu Yan pressed excitedly.

After returning home yesterday, she had asked her grandfather to make a few inquiries, and there had been an unexpected discovery.

Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power was simply unheard of.

If it had been any other martial soul, it would have become famous throughout the world long ago. Yet it not only had no reputation, but there were only so many people with innate full soul power to begin with.

If she had innate full soul power, she might already have become a Soul Elder by now instead of remaining at the level of a Grand Soul Master.

After watching the first match, Dugu Yan also felt that she could not defeat Jiang Nanchen. She only knew how to use poison and had no defensive soul skills. Jiang Nanchen's flight and speed alone could suppress her.

That was why she was interested in innate full soul power.

"Yes. A Blue Silver Grass soul master with innate full soul power. His name is Tang San," Jiang Nanchen said.

"Tang San?" Dugu Yan was stunned. "That surname is quite rare."

"Yes, it is rare. Aside from the previously secluded Clear Sky Sect, surnames like that have practically vanished."

Tang San's innate full soul power had also come from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill before awakening his martial soul. Otherwise, he would not have had innate full soul power.

He could originally have taken the life-element path, yet our great master had turned him toward control and poison attributes.

"By the way, why were you investigating me?"

Jiang Nanchen asked curiously, his golden eyes fixed on Dugu Yan.

"Ah... well!" Dugu Yan stammered, awkwardly rubbing her head. "I was just curious. We'll be teammates living under the same roof from now on, so I wanted to know more about you?"

Little Nanchen is awfully wary to turn the question back on me like that.

She was not going to do anything to him.

Dugu Yan gave a light cough and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Anyway, getting to know your teammates better isn't a bad thing. It'll make our team coordination more seamless in the future."

Jiang Nanchen raised his brows and smiled, his tone brimming with teasing.

"How could that be okay? You secretly investigated me. What would others think if they found out you were investigating the Crown Prince's younger brother like this?"

Dugu Yan froze at once, startled. "Compensation? How do you want me to compensate you?"

She had never considered that. She had only asked around casually, so how had it turned into something with consequences?

Jiang Nanchen's level is a little too high, isn't it?

Sitting to the side, Ye Lingling felt that Dugu Yan had somehow been led into a trap. The one she was facing did not seem like a six-year-old child, but an old fox who had lived for ages.

Dugu Yan had thought Jiang Nanchen was an innocent child.

"There's an old-fashioned roast chicken shop in the city. It tastes pretty good. When class ends this morning, just buy me ten chickens."

Jiang Nanchen said it casually, as though ten were a small number.

"Ten?!" Dugu Yan's eyes went wide, and she nearly jumped up. "Are you crazy? Can you even eat ten roast chickens? Even if you can, there's no need for that many, is there?"

In all her life, she had never seen a six-year-old who could eat ten roast chickens in one meal. That appetite was far too frightening.

As for money, she naturally would not mind. Her grandfather was the renowned Poison Douluo. A Titled Douluo did not lack gold soul coins.

"Just buy them. Whether I can finish them is my business." Jiang Nanchen spoke unhurriedly. "Otherwise, I'll have a nice talk with Teacher Zhi Lin about you investigating me."

"You little brat!" Dugu Yan was both angry and amused. She had not expected this little fellow to know how to threaten people. Gritting her teeth, she nodded. "Fine, ten it is! I'll buy them after class and deliver them to the cafeteria for you."

Jiang Nanchen nodded in satisfaction. "Deal."

With the problem of his extra lunch taken care of, he closed his eyes again and basked in the sun, looking as though everything had been settled.

Seeing how leisurely he looked, Dugu Yan could not help muttering, "What a little ancestor. He's even harder to serve than my grandfather."
