Meng Shu took Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang some distance away from the Shrek group before stopping.
Only then did Meng Yiran ask in confusion, "Grandpa, why did we let them off so easily again? That was clearly the Man Faced Demon Spider we were hunting."
Chao Tianxiang also looked at Meng Shu in puzzlement.
Meng Shu could only explain his reasons as they walked. Finally, he said, "Whether that boy can absorb that soul ring or not, whether he succeeds or fails, it must have nothing to do with us. After all, someone among them belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Who knows what power stands behind that boy? Besides, that soul ring exceeds the usual age limit for a Soul Master's third soul ring. If his body burst and he died in front of us, we'd have a hard time explaining ourselves..."
After hearing Meng Shu's words, neither woman could say much, but Meng Yiran still felt unwilling to accept it. She had come all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a soul ring, only to have someone snatch it out from under her twice. Anyone would have felt awful about that.
Meng Shu could see what was on Meng Yiran's mind, but he could find no words to comfort her. He could only continue searching the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable soul ring for her.
Meanwhile, after seeing the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny leave, Zhao Wuji couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. After all, he had already encountered far too many unexpected incidents today.
From encountering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to having students go missing, and finally nearly coming into conflict with Meng Shu, who had Soul Douluo cultivation... these incidents were almost driving Zhao Wuji
