Upon hearing this name, Qiangu Dongfeng frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The name Tang San was not unfamiliar to him, but it was a legend from a very long time ago.
" Tang San? Twenty thousand years ago, he destroyed the Spirit Hall, became the first sect leader of the Tang Sect, became the Sea God, and ascended to the Tang San Divine Realm?"
"Um... it should just be a coincidence of names, right?" Qiangu Zhangting stammered, but he quickly remembered something, "Right, Grandpa, I remember a few months ago, the day I had my conflict with Yu Longyue, didn't he bring someone into the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Qiangu Dongfeng was naturally aware of this. " Huo Haodong, what's wrong?"
"I watched the recording carefully and saw Yu Longyue's fighting style. Later, I found out that they encountered an acquaintance on the Spirit Ascension Platform, and the three of them started acting together. After checking, I found out that he was also a student of the Shrek Academy, and his name was Tang San." Qiangu Zhangting confessed honestly.
"... I completely don't understand."
The Qiangu Dongfeng raises its hand to its forehead.
Qiangu Zhangting tentatively suggested, "How about I go and meet Tang San tomorrow after my injuries have healed?"
"There's no need for that. They're probably also eyeing Yu Longyue." Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand. "Since they're Yu Longyue's lackeys, they're probably trying to sow discord between us and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and incite conflict."
"Think about it, if it really was someone from Yu Longyue's side who did this, would they be stupid enough to announce their own name?"
"No." Qiangu Zhangting shook his head.
"That's right. So this Tang San is just a decoy; we don't need to pay him any mind. He's bait to lure us into attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand. "Alright, focus on recovering. Leave this to me; I'll find out."
Three days later.
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Love you, Mom. See you tomorrow.
As usual, Yu Longyue finished her family dinner on Saturday and Sunday, said goodbye to her mother, and was then pulled away by Yu Qitian.
Within the family, women don't manage external affairs, but they manage internal affairs. Simply put, his father manages the entire family, and his mother manages his father.
Therefore, there are some things that don't need to be known to his mother.
"You little brat, you've only been back in Shrek City for a short while and you've already caused this mess." Yu Qitian shook his head repeatedly as he looked at Yu Longyue. "The surprise your Uncle Song sent back home was too much for me to handle."
"An unexpected bonus, why not take it?" Yu Longyue said with a grin.
"So, the attack on the Spirit Pagoda was caused by you, you little brat." Yu Qitian was a little alarmed. "You little devil, are you the nemesis of the Spirit Pagoda? Not long ago, you stole a Tyrant Dragon Soul Spirit from them, which cost an astronomical sum. Now you've stolen so many high-level Soul Spirit, even creating Artificial Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit."
"Dad, after they cooperated with the Evil Soul Master, you should understand that the Qiangu Family will be an enemy we have to deal with in the future."
Yu Longyue touched her nose. "I'm paving the way for the future."
"It's inconvenient for you big shots to do things yourselves, so why not leave it to me? It's just small stuff, no big deal. Besides, the Qiangu Family hasn't even noticed me yet."
"Don't get carried away, and don't be so complacent as to try again." Yu Qitian glared at him, pointing his finger at his nose and scolding, "Do you know why we didn't find you? It's because you're just a nobody. They never imagined you could do something like this, let alone have any idea of your motive for attacking the Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, they would have arrested you long ago."
"So sometimes being a nobody can be quite enjoyable, free and unrestrained," Yu Longyue said, pursing her lips.
Yu Qitian laughed, "You'll be in for a world of hurt once you sit in this spot on my butt."
"True freedom is being able to choose not to do what you want, not being able to do whatever you want." Yu Longyue said dejectedly, "Could you please give me a little more time? Can't I become the head of the family when I'm eighty?"
Yu Qitian rolled his eyes. "You wish! I'm planning to retire as soon as I turn eighteen."
"Alright, alright, you truly are my cheapskate father. If you ask me, it turns out that my ability to just give up and lie low was inherited from you."
"Good to know. Wait a minute, where are you going?" Yu Qitian asked, looking at Yu Longyue who was about to turn and leave.
" The One-Word Battle Armor is finished. I'm going back to the academy. It's final exams today, so there's no holiday."
"What's the point of making your One-Word Battle Armor? You can't even wear it."
"Someone else's."
"Oh, you made this for your girlfriend? Remember to bring it home to visit her sometime."
"..."
Gu Yue looked at the complete set of One-Word Battle Armor placed in front of her and a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"You finished a set of One-Word Battle Armor in just three months?"
"It's alright." Yu Longyue nodded and then extended her hand to Gu Yue. "Should we charge the market price, or..."
Gu Yue was speechless. "Didn't you pay earlier?"
"Of course I didn't give it to you. If it's really that bad, it's not like I can't afford to." Yu Longyue changed the subject. "How about you do me a favor and raise my Soul Power so we can cultivate together? I'll pay for everything then."
Gu Yue blushed. "Who wants to cultivate like that with you? Sleeping counts as cultivation? Where's your face?"
"What a joke! How can you make money as a businessman if you care about your reputation?" Yu Longyue didn't care at all. "Can reputation feed you? Although what I said might be true, it's unnecessary."
"Shameless." Gu Yue pouted and handed Yu Longyue a card. "This should be enough; it's even a bit more expensive than the market price."
Yu Longyue took out her phone to check the money in her card. True to her businessman nature, she would never suffer a loss, and immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh, thank you, rich lady! You're so generous! I wish you all the best and that you live forever."
Yu Longyue's joke made Gu Yue laugh out loud. She lightly tapped Yu Longyue on the shoulder. "You have such a sharp tongue."
"Hehe, the rich lady was so happy and rewarded me with so much money, how could I not be happy?" Yu Longyue chuckled as she put the card away. "It'll be enough for me to live on for a long time."
Gu Yue shook her head helplessly. "How old are you? You're still acting like a child."
"Of course, I'll always be a child." Yu Longyue blinked innocently.
Gu Yue glared at him. "I'm not messing around with you anymore. Seriously, you want me to be the first to get Battle Armor? Are the others okay with that?
Yu Longyue shrugged. "Of course I have no objections. What objections could there be? We're all family, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Gu Yue smiled slightly.
"How's your final exam preparation going? You've just finished your One-Word Battle Armor, so you can use it during the exams and then register right after," Yu Longyue suddenly asked.
Gu Yue smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. How about you? How's your preparation going?"
"I have no problem with that either, as long as I don't have to fight Titled Douluo, everything is negotiable."
The two chatted idly along the way until they arrived at the outer campus playground.
The first-year students of Class 1 in the Foreign Languages Department had all arrived. When the time came, Cai Yue'er announced the content of the exam.
To everyone's surprise, it wasn't like the original story where they had to travel to multiple cities to challenge people. Instead, it was Class 1 of the first grade, with over seventy students, and seventy different tests, leaving many people present dumbfounded.
Cai Yue'er has changed a lot, devoting herself wholeheartedly to education. She has spent a lot of time and effort preparing more than seventy completely different exams for these seventy-odd people.
For example, Tang Wulin will be tested in multiple aspects, including forging and individual combat, while Tang San will serve as the commander of a seven-person team and must possess a certain level of moral character.
Yu Longyue knew the reason for this. During the entrance examination, one of the tests involved creating an illusion with Auspicious Beast's Soul Bone. Tang San's performance at the time was so good that he outsmarted everyone and directly obtained the Auspicious Beast 'Soul Bone, resulting in him scoring zero points in this test.
Under normal circumstances, someone like him would definitely not be able to get into Shrek, but unfortunately, an accident happened, and Cai Yue'er waved her hand, allowing everyone to pass the assessment smoothly.
Huo Haodong's test was quite interesting; he was to enter the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform alone and survive for three days.
Gu Yue wants to spar with an inner court disciple who is at the Soul Saint level and win.
The same applies to Yu Longyue, and her opponent is Wu Changkong.
With the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul, Level 77 Soul Saint, Two-Word Battle Armor Master, one could say there's some pressure, but not much.
However, an accident occurred.
Just as Yu Longyue was about to take the exam with Wu Changkong, her phone kept ringing.
He frowned, took out his phone to mute it, but then realized it was the company headquarters in Eastsea City calling him; the boss was calling.
Yu Longyue answered the phone in front of Cai Yue'er and several other big shots.
"What's up?"
"Young Master, something terrible has happened! The company is in trouble. Please come to Eastsea City immediately."
The man on the other end spoke urgently, then quickly added.
"This is a big deal."
