Tang Hao had said something earlier, seemingly warning Lin Xiao not to pester Xiao Wu.
He had said Xiao Wu was not someone Lin Xiao could covet.
Could there be something special about Xiao Wu?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Path Guardians had long since investigated the academy's students thoroughly.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had met at Nording Academy and were sworn siblings.
But judging by Tang Hao's behavior now, he did not seem to regard Xiao Wu merely as an adopted daughter.
Instead, he seemed to treat her more like a daughter-in-law.
Still, they felt there were other, deeper reasons behind this.
They simply had not figured them out yet.
"Honored seniors, let's go."
Right now, Lin Xiao just wanted to stir up trouble.
Tang Hao had made him miserable, so they might as well all be miserable together.
He would have to reconsider what to do about Xiao Wu, though.
Experts at the Titled Douluo level might come near Shrek Academy later.
Once they got close, they might discover Xiao Wu's identity.
He needed to think of a way to conceal her identity.
Should I go straight to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and bring back the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?
[Ding! Mission issued: Report Tang Hao. Rewards: Phantom God’s Heart, World Memory Fragment (Blue Silver Emperor edition).]
The sudden mission left Lin Xiao stunned for quite a while.
He strongly suspected the system had issued the mission at this moment because Tang Hao's attack had angered it.
Otherwise, why would a mission like this appear?
He had read so many novels, yet this was the first time he had seen a mission to report Tang Hao outright.
It seemed rather interesting.
"System, what are the Phantom God’s Heart and the memory fragment?"
[Phantom God’s Heart: A special-type divine artifact. After being bound with a drop of blood, it can conceal the user's aura so thoroughly that even a First-Level God cannot see through it. It can also greatly enhance spiritual power.]
[World Memory Fragments record events experienced by anything in the current world. The Blue Silver Emperor edition refers to events experienced by the Blue Silver Emperor, with comprehensive records including people or things associated with those times.] ```
The system's explanation nearly made Lin Xiao laugh.
Well, damn. That solved his worries in one stroke.
And it would let him thoroughly disgust Tang Hao, too.
The Phantom God’s Heart was clearly meant for Xiao Wu to use.
It seemed the system also wanted him to earn more of Xiao Wu's affection; otherwise, it would not have produced this special-type divine artifact.
As for the World Memory Fragment, it was clearly meant to screw Tang Hao over.
Everything Ah Yin had experienced back then had been orchestrated single-handedly by Tang Hao.
The World Memory Fragment would certainly contain the truth of what happened back then.
If he used it on Ah Yin, she would learn the truth.
Tang Hao, oh, Tang Hao. You're destined to have no wife.
Once I find a chance to use it on Ah Yin, let's see how you play your games then.
Having sorted out his thoughts, he resolved to complete this mission.
After walking for the time it took an incense stick to burn, they finally entered Suotuo City.
As soon as they entered Suotuo City, people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived.
"Miss, shall we go rest at the Seven Treasure Hotel first?"
The Soul Saint Path Guardian asked.
"Lin Xiao, shall we go together?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
But Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "You go ahead. I'm going to Spirit Hall."
"Child, are you really going to report Tang Hao?"
The Path Guardian raised an eyebrow.
This boy really did follow through on his words. He had guts!
Lin Xiao nodded firmly. "For our safety, I have to report him. Besides, I want to check out Spirit Hall's bounty missions. I can earn money and broaden my experience."
"But Lin Xiao, you..."
Ning Rongrong wanted to say more.
The Path Guardian beside her said, "Miss, for Lin Xiao to have such intentions shows that he has ambition. Let him go."
Ning Rongrong was reluctant, but in the end, she did not stop Lin Xiao again.
Lin Xiao quickly headed to the Spirit Hall Branch.
The Spirit Hall Branch in Suotuo City was fairly large and bustling every day.
Soul Masters came to register almost every day.
The main hall handled registration and routine affairs, while the side hall handled bounty missions.
The mission hall was the liveliest place, filled with Soul Masters of every age.
Some Soul Masters made their living from bounty missions.
Lin Xiao did not go to the mission hall. His immediate priority was to make his report.
Inside the main hall, a bishop watched Lin Xiao walk in with considerable curiosity.
"Child, what brings you here?"
The bishop looked to be in his fifties and was one of the branch's senior officials.
"Hello, Bishop. I have something important to report."
"Report?"
The bishop could not help chuckling. What important matter could a child possibly have to report?
"Yes. The person I want to report is Tang Hao-the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!"
"He appeared in a small grove six kilometers outside Suotuo City..."
Without hesitation, he recounted how Tang Hao had appeared, even mentioning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Path Guardians.
After all, he was currently a twelve-year-old child.
Unless he brought up someone with enough standing, hardly anyone would believe what he said.
At first, the bishop had not taken him seriously.
But after hearing Tang Hao's name, he gradually became attentive.
Finally, when he heard that a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Path Guardian could serve as a witness, his expression turned grave.
The boy spoke with such conviction that it probably was not fabricated.
Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Path Guardians were currently at the Seven Treasure Hotel, making it easy to confirm.
Still, he did not simply believe Lin Xiao's account. Instead, he sent two people to the Seven Treasure Hotel.
"Wait here a moment, child. I'll have someone verify the information. If it's true, you'll receive a generous reward."
"All right."
Naturally, Lin Xiao had no objections.
He could even receive a generous reward for reporting Tang Hao. This mission from the system really was satisfying.
Thinking about it, that made sense. After all, Tang Hao was wanted by Spirit Hall.
And he was a powerful Titled Douluo.
Spirit Hall certainly would not mind paying a hefty price for information about him.
After about a quarter of an hour, the people the bishop had sent returned.
"Bishop Tu Ling, the information this child gave is true."
Bishop Tu Ling's pupils contracted slightly. It really was true.
The Clear Sky Douluo had vanished for years, yet now he had appeared-and had even bullied a child?
"Go investigate the scene immediately, and assign more patrols around Suotuo City and Shrek."
"I will report this matter to the Spirit Hall of the Saints and let them decide how to proceed."
Bishop Tu Ling knew this matter was already beyond his capabilities.
After all, that was a Titled Douluo, not someone he could contend with.
"Child, the final decision on your reward will also be made by the Hall of the Saints. Is that acceptable?"
Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly.
"Of course."
"Bishop Tu Ling, I'd like to accept bounty missions in the mission hall. Do I need to register?"
"Hmm... do you have a Martial Soul Awakening certificate issued by Spirit Hall?"
"If you do, fill out this form, and I can arrange for someone to complete your registration directly. It will save you a great deal of time."
As he spoke, he took out a form.
Lin Xiao took the form and began filling it out. In a place like Suotuo City, knowing a Spirit Hall bishop would certainly bring plenty of benefits.
Connections were extremely important, no matter where one went.
After filling out the form, he handed it to Bishop Tu Ling.
Bishop Tu Ling took it and stared, his eyes widening.
Twelve years old, rank thirty?
To think he was actually a Little Monster. His talent was downright monstrous!
