After taking the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Su Yu and Qian Renxue left the Heaven Dou Treasury.

Almost immediately, Qian Renxue ordered people to forge a new type of Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

A few more days passed. Su Yu had eaten and drunk his fill in Heaven Dou City and was just preparing to take a stroll when—

Not far away, an uninvited guest appeared: a lean middle-aged man dressed in black, with a completely bald head.

It was none other than their Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.

After sending Xiao Wu and Tang San to Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang had finished handling his affairs and decided to have a good look around Heaven Dou City before heading to Shrek Academy himself.

"What should I buy?"

Yu Xiaogang still planned to purchase some ingredients. Not only did he need to display his teaching ability at Shrek Academy, but he also had to show off his cooking skills.

He would let them know what a true master was.

After his training, Xiao San was already nearly a Soul Elder.

At Nuoding Academy, he had been utterly invincible.

Yu Xiaogang was brimming with confidence, full of anticipation and hopes for the future.

As he raised his head toward a vegetable stall in the distance, he suddenly froze because a golden-haired youth entered his sight.

Golden hair...

Yu Xiaogang's heart jolted.

Other than the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, very few people possessed golden hair.

I have an inexplicable feeling that this person is destined for me. Perhaps he could become my disciple.

Yu Xiaogang mused inwardly, the corners of his mouth beginning to curl upward.

Yu Xiaogang quickened his pace toward the youth, wanting to investigate further. Just as he came within two or three meters of him—

The youth suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Xiaogang.

The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze, replaced by shock and disbelief.

Th-this... what was going on?

Qian Xunji!

The Former Pope, Qian Xunji—hadn't Tang Hao smashed him to death with a single hammer strike?

How could he be here, and still alive?

Cold sweat streamed down Yu Xiaogang's back. Remembering the oppressive aura of Pope Qian Xunji back then, he still felt lingering fear.

When he was young, aside from Bibi Dong, the person who had left the deepest impression on him was Pope Qian Xunji.

If not for Pope Qian Xunji, perhaps Bibi Dong would have long since been with him, and so many things would not have happened afterward.

"What is it?"

Su Yu was somewhat surprised after recognizing Yu Xiaogang.

Why aren't you at Shrek Academy? How did you end up here, and even find me so precisely in Heaven Dou City?

Could this be fate?

Did we absolutely have to meet? Was not meeting simply impossible?

Su Yu was already speechless. This was far too absurd.

"Cough, cough. Sorry for the trouble, but you resemble a friend of mine."

Yu Xiaogang came back to his senses and spoke with great seriousness. "You really look like a friend of mine."

"A friend of yours?" Su Yu frowned slightly. "You don't look like an honest person."

"How can you say that?" Yu Xiaogang was extremely dissatisfied, adopting the tone of a grandmaster. "Do you know who I am?"

Su Yu said, "Why should I care who you are? Besides, I don't even know you. Get lost. I don't want to waste time with you. You're an eyesore."

Yu Xiaogang immediately grew somewhat impatient.

Well, damn. This brat actually has no respect for anyone.

You may look like the Former Pope, but you're not actually the Pope. Do you think I'd be afraid of you?

Yu Xiaogang swiftly blocked Su Yu's path and said confidently, "Young man, I see that we are destined. Would you like to take me as your master?"

After probing him, he discovered that the youth before him seemed not to be a Soul Grandmaster, but possessed cultivation above that level.

And he looked about the same age as Tang San.

If he could take such a genius as his disciple, the boy would surely achieve greatness in the future.

"Are you sick?"

Su Yu looked at him with disgust and refused outright.

"Young man, I know you are proud, but I am the famous Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the man who proposed the Ten Core Competitive Theories of Martial Souls. Are you sure you won't consider it?"

Yu Xiaogang still refused to give up.

Once this chance was gone, there would be no other.

Yu Xiaogang understood that much.

"Sorry, but I won't take someone who is merely a Soul Grandmaster as my master. Your entire cultivation is only level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.

Why should I take you as my master? And at your age, you're still only a Soul Grandmaster.

Don't you find that embarrassing? People your age are probably at least Spirit Kings by now, aren't they?

Instead of thinking about working hard, you're trying to take shortcuts. How laughable."

Su Yu truly could not hold it in.

Trying to use the same trick he used on Tang San to fool me?

Su Yu's words struck Yu Xiaogang right where it hurt. What Yu Xiaogang hated most in his life was hearing others talk about his cultivation.

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened. "Young man, watch your words. I may be a Soul Grandmaster, but my knowledge is unmatched. Do you understand?"

This brat's words were far too unpleasant.

Who rubbed salt into another person's wounds like that? If he were not a Soul Grandmaster, he would not even think this highly of the boy.

"Oh, please. With your level, you claim your knowledge is unmatched? That's hilarious."

Su Yu sneered disdainfully.

"Y-you-you!" Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he could not speak.

Yu Xiaogang still wanted to say something, but a hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.

Turning around, he found a guard behind him, accompanied by a handsome young man.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly bowing.

"Yu Xiaogang, is it? What do you mean by giving my person trouble here?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.

She had only left for a short while, yet her younger brother had been stopped by a suspicious person.

"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. If I had known he was Your Highness's man, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I would not have dared."

Yu Xiaogang immediately restrained himself and offered a placating smile.

This brat was actually the Crown Prince's man. No wonder he had been so arrogant.

Qian Renxue smiled. "I don't think you look like a good person either."

Yu Xiaogang gave an awkward smile and explained, "Your Highness, I truly did not do it on purpose. Besides, I am the biological son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's leader. For my father's sake, could you spare me?"

Offending the Crown Prince was a grave crime!

He was already on his way to Shrek Academy. If he failed to make it there because of this matter, would he not become a laughingstock?

Qian Renxue let out a cold laugh. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect? So you are the one who awakened a pig Martial Soul and was born with only 0.5 Soul Power."

Yu Xiaogang's body trembled. "That's me."

Qian Renxue found it amusing to see Yu Xiaogang wanting to lose his temper but not daring to.

"Of course, you are quite good at deceiving people in public. I won't beat you or scold you."

Qian Renxue's words made Yu Xiaogang breathe a sigh of relief, but her next words made his face change drastically.

"I'll lock you in the dungeon for a week, then release you. Consider it a warning, so you won't dare deceive people again next time."

Qian Renxue said indifferently.

"What?" Yu Xiaogang turned pale in shock. "Your Highness, you cannot do this. By doing this, you will offend the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Qian Renxue smiled. "Do you think Yu Yuanzhen would dare come trouble me?"
