Inside the wooden cabin, Yu Xiaogang endured Tai Tan's clumsy use of Soul Power to clean him up. Though it made him uncomfortable, the thought of Liu Erlong's panicked helplessness over him earlier—and how she had even volunteered to watch over his medicine—made his vanity and self-satisfaction swell to their peak.
Looking at the closed wooden door, Ning Fengzhi quietly praised Chen Xin as well:
"Liu Erlong is truly devoted to the Grandmaster. She was so worried that she did not even dare touch him, afraid of hurting him. For the Grandmaster to have such a beauty by his side, he is truly blessed for three lifetimes."
Chen Xin nodded slightly, and the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished completely.
As the filth was cleaned away, Yu Xiaogang's air of a Grandmaster commanding the world rose again from the ashes.
He forced himself to sit up, his eyes gleaming as he lowered his voice and analyzed the situation for Tang San and Ning Fengzhi beside the bed:
"Master Ning, Tang San, do not be intimidated by Spirit Hall's sudden offensive. In my view, although Spirit Hall launched the holy war ahead of schedule and even sent heavy forces to Holy Soul Village to intercept His Excellency Tang Hao, the information they possess must be nothing more than scattered fragments!"
"Oh? What makes you say that, Grandmaster?"
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.
Yu Xiaogang let out a smug sneer and confidently raised one finger:
"It is simple! If Spirit Hall truly knew every detail of the previous life, why have they still not touched that treasure ground in Sunset Forest? If Bibi Dong knew that the Immortal Herbs there could completely transform a person, she would have sent people to strip the place bare long ago and use them to cultivate her trusted followers. Would she have left it untouched until now?"
"Also, although they knew His Excellency Tang Hao was in Holy Soul Village, they only knew to send troops there. They had no idea that you, Tang San, had not even awakened your martial soul yet, nor did they know about Longxing City's escape tunnel! What does that tell us?"
The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice rose higher:
"It means that Bibi Dong only obtained some vague, fragmented visions of the future. She knew that someone called Tang San would become a god and destroy Spirit Hall in the future, which is why she desperately tried to block him at Holy Soul Village. But she has no grasp of the exact timing or details! This is our greatest information advantage!"
At this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.
Indeed, if Spirit Hall truly knew everything, those supreme opportunities in Sunset Forest would likely have changed hands long ago.
Now, it seemed that Spirit Hall truly knew nothing about those details.
"Tang San, you have not awakened your martial soul yet. In my eyes, that has instead become our greatest trump card! Because they have no idea that you possess perfect Twin Martial Souls, nor do they know just how terrifying your Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Emperor are!"
Yu Xiaogang gestured grandly as he looked at Tang San.
"We must exploit this information advantage, make secret plans within Blue Tyrant Academy, and take the initiative!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang's breathing became somewhat hurried. He gritted his teeth, and a flash of complicated selfishness and ambition crossed his eyes:
"First, have Erlong use Blue Tyrant Academy's connections to write... write to my father, Yu Yuanzhen! Tell him to immediately gather the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's forces and secretly move toward Heaven Dou City!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists.
In his previous life, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had ruthlessly expelled him from the clan because of his useless martial soul, leaving him to bear the disgrace of being called trash for half his life.
But in this life, he would use the godlike foresight in his mind to personally guide the clan away from the crisis of annihilation!
He would make the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan admit before the whole world that Yu Xiaogang was the clan's true savior, then offer him the position of clan leader with both hands!
"Second, Master Ning, immediately use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's remaining forces outside to secretly send a letter to the Clear Sky Sect! Tell them that His Excellency Tang Hao is still alive. As long as the Clear Sky Sect is willing to emerge and cooperate with the Titled Douluo on our side, we will have the capital to contend with Spirit Hall!"
"Third, Tai Tan, Old Bai, go to Gengxin City at once and contact Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan and the divine craftsman Lou Gao. Tell them to prepare medicinal ingredients and metals for Hidden Weapons!"
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's orderly plans one after another, Tang San's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his previously shattered emotions finally steadied completely!
"Teacher! Your calculations are truly miraculous!"
Tang San's little face flushed red with excitement as he snarled through gritted teeth,
"Once we gather our strength, together with my Hidden Weapons... Ye Yuan! Spirit Hall! We will definitely tear all of you to pieces!"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance and nodded approvingly.
It had to be said that Yu Xiaogang's deduction about the fragmented visions of the future, as well as his strategy of using the clans to counterattack, was indeed reasonable. It rekindled everyone's confidence.
At this moment, on the outer edge of the wooden cabin, five-year-old Ning Rongrong stood in the shadows, coldly watching the fanatical Yu Xiaogang and the venomous Tang San. Her chubby little hands clutched the hem of her dress.
Hehe... Brother Xiaoyuan, Rongrong's Bronze Cicada should have reached your hands by now, right?
At the thought that her Brother Xiaoyuan would soon arrive, her large eyes brimmed with fervor and joy. It was as though she could already see Tang San being trampled beneath Ye Yuan's feet like a dead dog, while she herself was gently held in Ye Yuan's arms.
The Glazed Mother-Child Cicada she had sent out flew through Heaven Dou City's endless curtain of rain like an almost transparent meteor in the night, landing steadily in the top-secret mailbox of the Spirit Temple at the center of Heaven Dou City.
Half a day later. At the center of Tian Dou Imperial City, Heaven Dou Sacred Hall.
The secret chamber in the rear hall was somewhat dimly lit.
"Ning Rongrong? That little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is only five!"
Qian Renxue's golden hair was slightly disheveled, and her long, slender legs wrapped in thin white stockings were drawn tight with anger.
Her eyes were slightly red as she stared fixedly at Ye Yuan with sour resentment.
"How did she know that you saved her in the wilderness when you were six? She even packaged up her father and Tang San and sent them to you as a gift! Xiao Yuan, tell me honestly—how many vixens did you provoke in your past life?"
Ye Yuan spread his hands and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Xue'er, I have truly been wronged! My mind is completely blank right now. I am also wondering how she knew about these things..."
"Enough, Xue'er. Do not be so quick to get jealous."
Beside them, Bibi Dong rose gracefully to her feet.
Today, she wore a dark purple silk cheongsam with an extremely high slit. Her full thighs, wrapped in ultra-thin black stockings, were especially striking beneath the lamplight.
Bibi Dong stepped forward and gently patted Ye Yuan's head. Then, looking at the letter on the table, she parted her red lips and revealed the cold, cruel authority of a pope:
"This little girl is rather cooperative. She actually confessed Ning Fengzhi and Tang San's hiding place in full, without leaving out a single word.
After reading the contents of the letter, her gaze narrowed slightly and fell upon the three words Dugu Bo mentioned within. She asked somewhat doubtfully:
"This letter says... Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others are all protecting Tang San now. Xiao Yuan, Tang San and Tang Hao suffered such severe injuries. That old poisoner Dugu Bo may have some skills, but how could his little bit of poison expertise possibly heal Gu Rong and Tang Hao, whose meridians were shattered by Golden Crocodile?"
