Over the past few days, after every Spirit Arena match, Wu Qi would be blocked at the entrance by enthusiastic female admirers.
Each of these young women was quite attractive. Chang Kong could not help but feel envious. "Brother Wu, when will those older sisters start paying attention to me?"
If it were him, he certainly would not refuse anyone, unlike Wu Qi.
Wu Qi had no answer for him. "This is the golden period for cultivation. Don't let relationships distract you from training."
"In the future, when you become strong, even the princesses of the two great empires would be yours to choose from."
"I just want to experience that feeling too," Chang Kong muttered under his breath.
Coincidentally, they happened to pass by Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Hearing his comment, Xiao Wu sneered. "Another fool who only thinks about lust."
At that, the two turned their heads.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were dressed plainly and did not stand out at all.
When Wu Qi looked at them closely, his brow lifted slightly. Could they be Tang San and Xiao Wu?
They had never met before, so he could not confirm their identities.
Chang Kong said irritably, "Miss, what does our conversation have to do with you? There's no need for insults."
Tang San observed the two of them.
Chang Kong's Spirit Power fluctuation was similar to his own, likely a Level 29 Spirit Grandmaster.
As for Wu Qi, there was no visible Spirit Power fluctuation at all.
Tang San understood that if Wu Qi were an ordinary person, a peak Spirit Grandmaster with excellent talent would not follow his lead. His strength was probably not much weaker than Dai Mubai's.
Moreover, they had just arrived in Suotuo City and were unfamiliar with the area. Offending local nobles would not make their days easier.
With that thought, Tang San clasped his fists. "My name is Tang San. Greetings to you both. I apologize. Xiao Wu meant no offense. We were discussing something else just now. If we have offended you, please forgive us."
Xiao Wu was displeased. "Tang San, why are you speaking on their side?"
Hearing this, Wu Qi silently confirmed his suspicion.
Tang San would be his greatest enemy in the future, but there was no need for conflict at this moment.
He gave a slight nod and discreetly signaled Chang Kong with his eyes.
Chang Kong understood that look well, it signaled danger.
He forced a smile. "Since it was unintentional, let's leave it at that. Farewell."
After speaking, he and Wu Qi quickly left.
Tang San did not expect them to be so easygoing. He once again clasped his fists toward their departing figures.
"Xiao Wu, the teacher sent us here to study, not to cause trouble. What if they are senior students from Shrek Academy?"
Xiao Wu replied indifferently, "So what if we offend them? With Third Brother's strength, are you worried he won't secure a place in the academy?"
Tang San smiled wryly. "Xiao Wu, don't forget the task the teacher gave us. We came here to build relationships with our classmates."
Xiao Wu asked in return, "And how do you know they're from Shrek Academy?"
Tang San had only guessed.
In Suotuo City, he could not think of any other possibility for youths with such talent and strength besides Shrek Academy.
On the other side, after distancing themselves from Tang San and Xiao Wu, Chang Kong could not help but ask, "Brother Wu, who are they? Even you sensed danger."
Wu Qi answered vaguely, "I have a feeling there was a dangerous presence behind them. Perhaps their elders were following in secret."
"In any case, they only said a single sentence. There's no need to make an issue of it."
He was uncertain whether the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo was accompanying them. A Spirit Douluo might not immediately recognize Xiao Wu's true nature at a glance, but with closer inspection, she would inevitably be exposed.
Xiao Wu's protector was Tang Hao.
The Tang family and Spirit Hall were irreconcilable enemies. If matters escalated, they might not leave this place alive.
In the original timeline, Tang Hao had secretly observed Tang San's enrollment. It was very possible that he had already arrived in Suotuo City.
When the two returned to their hotel, news brought by the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo confirmed Wu Qi's suspicion.
"An unidentified Titled Douluo has arrived in Suotuo City. Young Masters, you must withdraw as soon as possible to avoid any uncontrollable incidents."
That day, the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo had been secretly protecting them as usual.
While passing through a certain street, he was suddenly locked onto by a powerful Spirit Power.
The other party did not seem to intend to attack. After only an instant, the pressure was withdrawn.
The Golden Eagle Spirit possessed extremely sharp perception. Anyone capable of concealing themselves from a Spirit Douluo of his caliber had to be a Titled Douluo.
Chang Kong frowned, beginning to understand Wu Qi's earlier concern.
Wu Qi did not respond immediately.
At this point in time, the only Titled Douluo likely to appear in Suotuo City was Tang Hao.
The fact that the other party had merely revealed killing intent without acting suggested he had recognized the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo's background.
However, for Tang San's safety, Tang Hao had chosen not to strike.
If Spirit Hall were to lose a Spirit Douluo, they would certainly conduct a thorough investigation of Suotuo City.
Tang Hao could not reveal himself now. Entrusting Tang San to Yu Xiaogang was meant to provide him with a relatively safe environment to grow.
The Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo surviving indicated that he had neither noticed Xiao Wu's true identity nor paid particular attention to Tang San.
Tang Hao would most likely not follow the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo. To him, Tang San's safety was the highest priority.
In that case, Wu Qi and Chang Kong's origins had not been exposed.
Even though they had crossed paths with Tang San earlier, Tang Hao might not have paid them any attention.
"Senior Golden Eagle, leave Suotuo City immediately. Go to a nearby city and stay there for a few days before returning. Remember, exit from the north gate. And from now on, do not investigate Shrek Academy."
The Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo was alarmed. "Young Masters, you are not leaving?"
Wu Qi replied calmly, "We have not been exposed, so why should we leave? The other party is a Titled Douluo, not a murderer. The threat to us is minimal."
Though that reasoning made sense, if anything were to happen to them, the higher authorities would not let the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo off easily.
"Rest assured. I never act without certainty. As long as you do not approach Shrek Academy, there will be no problem."
If the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo could see through Xiao Wu's true nature, Tang Hao would certainly guard against him closely.
Wu Qi and Chang Kong were different. Although their Martial Spirits resembled those of certain prominent figures, that did not prove they were affiliated with Spirit Hall.
After all, Li Yusong's Martial Spirit was also the Dragon Staff.
Why could Chang Kong not simply be a relative of Li Yusong, with both of them coming here to seek him out?
Tang Hao might hate Spirit Hall, but he would not casually attack two individuals who posed no threat.
After much persuasion, the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo finally departed, albeit reluctantly.
Before leaving, he revealed another important piece of information.
"By the way, people from Yuexuan have appeared in Suotuo City. When you passed through East Street earlier, they were purchasing grain there."
"I do not know if this is related, but the task His Highness assigned to you may have something to do with Yuexuan."
