Chapter 174 Zhu Zhuqing, You'll Regret This; A Gift for Yu Xiaogang
"Damn it, that foolish woman!"
But thinking of Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Cat Family behind her and the towering peak that could drive him mad, he patiently lowered his voice to tempt her,
"Zhuqing, open the door first. This time I really have something important to discuss with you, something about our future! This time, I am absolutely confident I can defeat Dai Weisi!"
Silence hung in the room for a moment, then a very light sigh came from within.
It wasn't emotion, but disappointment.
"Dai Mubai."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice came through the door panel, her tone carrying both disappointment in Dai Mubai and a hint of self-mockery.
"If I'm not mistaken... your teacher went to Spirit City to find that woman, didn't he?"
Dai Mubai outside the door froze instantly and blurted out subconsciously, "How did you know?"
"So it is true."
Inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and resolute.
Ning Rongrong was right; some people are rotten mud that cannot be plastered onto a wall, and some people are destined to be mere Puppets of power.
"Dai Mubai, you truly disappoint me."
"Even if you remained a good-for-nothing all these years, if you could stand up like a man, even if you died fighting, I, Zhu Zhuqing, would respect you somewhat and accompany you to the very end."
"But what are you doing now? You don't strive yourself, yet you pin your hopes on a clown who only knows how to sponge off women, trying to take a shortcut through this kind of cronyism?"
"Have you ever considered, even if you truly ascended to that position relying on Spirit Hall's power..."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice suddenly turned sharp, every word striking the heart,
"Will the future Star Luo Empire belong to the Dai Family, or the Yu Family? Or perhaps... will it be her Bibi Dong's Star Luo Empire?"
"If you want to be a Puppet Emperor who can be deposed at any moment, go be one yourself; don't drag me into it."
"Get lost. From this day forward, don't bother me again."
It was clear that Dai Mubai had not expected Zhu Zhuqing to think this way.
But even if the final outcome truly turned out as she guessed—that he became the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire by relying on Bibi Dong's power and then became a Puppet...
So what?
It's better to live miserably than to die honorably. He didn't believe Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand such a simple truth!
Looking at the still tightly closed door before him, Dai Mubai's expression shifted repeatedly. Finally, as if to preserve his dignity as a man, he roared in anger, "Zhu Zhuqing, you will regret this!"
... Meanwhile, inside the Eastern Palace of Heaven Dou, the secret guards dispatched by Qian Renxue to monitor Shrek transmitted new intelligence.
A certain buzz cut, suspected to be that ultimate abstract clown, rented a carriage and quietly left Heaven Dou City, heading in the direction of Spirit City.
"Damn it, does this buzz cut really treat my Spirit Hall as his personal backyard?"
"He thinks he can come and go as he pleases?"
"Snake Lance Uncle, Porcupine Fish Uncle, hurry back to Spirit City and tell Grandpa to deal with that good-for-nothing... No, you two rush to catch up with that good-for-nothing right now and slay him in the wilderness!"
Hearing the command Qian Renxue issued in her fury, the two Titled Douluo old men stood there motionless, like wooden carvings.
"What is it, Uncles? Is there something inappropriate about this?"
"Or can two Titled Douluo like you not kill a good-for-nothing at the Great Soul Master level?"
The two exchanged glances, both sighing helplessly. Then the Snake Lance Douluo spoke up in response, "Young Miss, the High Priest sent us a message earlier. Regarding Yu Xiaogang, you can insult him however you wish, but you absolutely cannot harm his life."
"Otherwise, the Pope will surely go mad."
Qian Renxue scoffed, "So what if that woman goes mad?"
"With Grandpa and the grandpas in the Hall of Worship taking action, suppressing her is just a matter of minutes. What is there to fear?"
However, what the Snake Lance Douluo said next made Qian Renxue feel a sense of disbelief.
"Alas, Young Miss, the Pope's faction now rivals the High Priest's power, and in some respects, even subtly suppresses the High Priest."
"This message was specifically sent by the High Priest's side to ensure that Young Miss absolutely does not kill Yu Xiaogang and provoke the Pope."
"Otherwise, once our Spirit Hall descends into internal strife, even if we ultimately win, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses in Origin Qi."
"It's not worth it for the sake of a piece of good-for-nothing!"
Hearing this intelligence, Qian Renxue was indeed shocked.
She hadn't expected her foolish sister to have quietly reached such a level of strength, capable of challenging her own grandfather!
One must remember that Qian Daoliu was a Divinity High Priest who could wield a portion of divine force!
Finally, after weighing the situation in her mind, Qian Renxue commanded, "In that case, first bring that good-for-nothing to that place in Spirit City!"
"Since that buzz cut dares to come, I, as the legitimate heir of Spirit Hall, must give him an unforgettable memory!"
... On the other side, after Tang San brought the unconscious Three Yang Brothers back to the Tang Sect, the Disciples guarding the gate immediately rushed up anxiously, "Sect Master, what happened?"
"Could it be that someone dared to cause trouble under our noses?"
"Are you injured?"
The Disciples guarding the Tang Sect gate were mostly composed of descendants of the former Breaking Clan. Yang Kang and the others were the young elites of their Family, and now they were'seriously injured and unconscious." How could they not be worried?
"The three of them are fine; they were just ambushed by villains, and this is just the lingering effect, causing them to faint."
"You all help carry them inside first. I need to report this matter to my Master!"
The guarding Disciples responded respectfully, then called over other Disciples to help.
Tang San, after tidying his clothes, walked with complex feelings toward Jiang Li's residence.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Master, are you there?"
"Come in, Little San."
With a creak, Tang San opened the door to Jiang Li's room and saw his future father, currently his Master, sitting leisurely on a recliner.
In that instant, memories experienced in the illusion uncontrollably surged through his mind, causing him to shed tears.
"Little San, it's so late. Why are you looking for your Master?"
"Master... I..."
Tang San controlled his emotions, skipped over the events in the illusion, and recounted to Jiang Li the matter of their ambush.
'This kid, "
Jiang Li thought internally, while outwardly maintaining a serious expression, pretending to rise, "Little San, is the tail properly handled?"
"Whoever dared to ambush my Disciple, this Sovereign will definitely make them pay the price!"
