Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but recall Xue Ke's figure in his mind.
Damn it.
He truly lived up to the title of a scumbag.
He was already with Xue Ke, yet he was going to watch her father, Xue Ye, die?!
Ye Qiu pinched his brow, feeling a little distressed.
Qian Renxue had been planning this for so long; she definitely wouldn't give up on it just because of his words.
But if Qian Renxue really killed Xue Ye, it would be difficult for the two of them to face each other in the future.
To save Xue Ye, he would need to possess extraordinary strength!
"Ye Qiu, what's wrong?"
Ning Fengzhi, seeing Ye Qiu looking unwell, couldn't help but show concern.
Ye Qiu shook his head, "Nothing, I just thought about too many things and have a bit of a headache."
"Hmph! I think you're just a little drained," Sword Douluo snorted.
He still couldn't get over the fact that Ye Qiu had so many women.
Especially after Rongrong, he even had more, including the head of Blue Tyrant Academy!
Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Ye Qiu's face darkened.
How could he be drained? That was a joke. At most, he just couldn't keep up with his 'stockpile'.
"Haha... Young men are naturally charming, it's understandable, but you still need to be moderate, Ye Qiu."
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily, yet he was subtly hinting at Ye Qiu.
However, regarding Liu Erlong, Ning Fengzhi didn't have much of an opinion.
After all, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks; her true identity was the daughter of the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and she herself was a formidable fighter.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi admired Ye Qiu's ability to handle this, showing no reservations despite the significant age difference.
He was a man meant for great things!
"Uncle Ning, Ye Qiu understands."
Considering the other party was an elder, Ye Qiu didn't want to say much more.
Dugu Bo was more open-minded, telling him to go for it if he liked someone.
A straightforward man!
...
After discussing a few more things with Ning Fengzhi, Ye Qiu asked him to keep a close eye on Tang San during this period.
Ning Fengzhi readily agreed, even stating that he would send Bone Douluo to handle it.
After all, Tang San's appearance was bound to involve Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, and sending Bone Douluo was the safest approach.
Ye Qiu would also personally monitor him when he had time.
His clairvoyant eyes were excellent for reconnaissance, though he often saw things he shouldn't, which was unavoidable.
Ye Qiu left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and immediately returned to Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong and the others had already left the courtyard. Asking Xiao Lan, he learned they had all gone to train.
Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and ran straight to where the Shrek group was staying.
Then, he activated his clairvoyant eyes.
Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender were gathered in the same room, discussing something.
Around them, there were no signs of any powerful figures.
"Teacher, when can you take me to the Speed Clan to switch my spirit ring?"
Tang San was already impatient.
After obtaining the white third spirit ring, his Blue Silver Grass cultivation felt increasingly inadequate.
Its toughness, strength, and other attributes were still at the Spirit Grandmaster level.
Especially when sparring with Ma Hongjun and the others, his Blue Silver Grass was like paper, completely unable to stop Dai Mubai's advances, and even more powerless against Ma Hongjun's flames.
And Yu Tianheng was even more so.
He had recently broken through to Level 40, and fighting Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was incredibly easy for him.
Tang San now only hoped to change this situation soon, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to resist cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer!
"This matter... you should discuss it with Senior Tai Tan. I'm just a useless person, my words carry little weight."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was sitting in a wheelchair.
Already looking dejected, he was even more dispirited, his face pale and bloodless, his beard unshaven, and his lips white.
His eyes were somewhat dull, as if he still couldn't accept the fact that his legs were broken by Liu Erlong's pressure, and no one had treated him yet.
Tang San never expected Yu Xiaogang to call himself useless and couldn't help but comfort him:
"Teacher, you are a theoretical Grandmaster, how could you be useless?"
"Alas~" Flender sighed.
If he hadn't instigated Yu Xiaogang to confess, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be so miserable.
That day, he was foolishly waiting outside the forest for good news, only to be met with Yu Xiaogang constantly wailing and crying for his parents.
He couldn't disobey Liu Erlong's words, so he hadn't taken Yu Xiaogang anywhere for treatment.
"Yes, Xiaogang, don't take Erlong's matter too much to heart. We can take our time."
"Take my time?! How can I take my time? She won't even look at me, and she won't allow me to look at her either, otherwise, she'll gouge out my eyes next time!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled as he spoke, tears streaming down his face, deeply laced with fear.
He simply didn't understand why Liu Erlong's personality had changed so drastically and she was filled with such disgust towards him, even breaking his legs, just because he had concealed their cousin relationship and confessed to her once.
Didn't she say she didn't mind worldly opinions now?!
"Teacher! Little San completely understands your feelings!"
Tang San said sorrowfully.
He couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu; wasn't she also deceived by Ye Qiu, just like Dean Erlong, not wanting to see him and not allowing him to see her?
Recalling what Yu Xiaogang said when comforting him at Shrek Academy, he couldn't help but say:
"But precisely because of this, we must be stronger. As long as we persevere and continuously grow stronger, one day, your student Tang San will reclaim Xiao Wu, and will also help Teacher reclaim Dean Erlong!"
"Teacher, have you forgotten? You still have to lead us in the Soul Master Competition! You still have to prove yourself! There's still over a year left; we still have a chance!"
At this moment, Tang San and his teacher were no longer just birds of a feather; they were truly suffering from the same affliction.
The hearts and minds of those they loved had already been filled by Ye Qiu.
"Yes, Xiaogang, where is that spirited person who made me call you Grandmaster? The more you are like this, the more triumphant that brat Ye Qiu will be!"
Flender's face was also filled with sorrow.
He completely understood Yu Xiaogang's feelings, and even felt more pain himself, because he couldn't help but constantly turn his gaze towards Liu Erlong, and each time, it was a scene of her nestled in Ye Qiu's arms.
...
In the distance, Ye Qiu, having found nothing, had already left.
He headed to Moon Pavilion, his guilt towards Xue Ke making him want to spend more time with her.
...
Inside the Crown Prince's Residence study, Xue Qinghe's angry shouts could be heard.
"Damn it, how many things are you hiding from me?!"
Having received information about Tang San, Xue Qinghe's face was very grim, burning with rage.
He had let him take so many liberties this morning.
He never expected him to hide such important information from him.
Qian Renxue was absolutely certain that Ye Qiu had known Tang San's identity all along.
After all, he had stayed in Soto City for so long and had previously told him that Tang Hao was in Soto City, even asking him to arrange for Uncle Qian Jun and Uncle Jiang Mo to go there.
Now he finally understood why he knew Tang Hao would be in Soto City at that time!
Jiang Mo Douluo immediately stepped forward and said, "Little Xue, should I go capture that brat now?"
"No! I want him to explain it clearly to me himself. If he dares to lie to me again, I won't let him off!"
"That scoundrel!"
Xue Qinghe sat at the desk, stopping Jiang Mo Douluo's suggestion to apprehend him.
This was a matter between the two of them.
