Spirit City was bustling with voices.
This city, composed entirely of soul masters except for the young children, had experienced a qualitative leap in strength after Lin Feng passed down the Innate Soul Evolution Art, and had also beco more prosperous than ever before.
In the central plaza of the city, a huge statue stood majestically. It was a statue of Lin Feng, built with funds spontaneously raised by the populace to express their admiration and gratitude for this Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
The statue was carved from a unique crystal stone. Lin Feng’s image was lifelike. He carried a longsword on his back, its body slender; his right hand gently held the Innate Treasure Pearl, which was crystal clear and emitted a faint light.
Lin Feng’s head was slightly lowered, gazing at the treasure pearl in his hand, his eyes focused and deep; his face was handso, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, revealing a peaceful and calm temperant.
Every detail of the statue was ticulously carved. Lin Feng’s clothes seed to flutter lightly in the wind. The longsword and the treasure pearl ford a wonderful harmony around him.
A few large characters were engraved on the base of the statue: "Teacher of All Soul Masters Under Heaven, Lin Feng."
In other parts of the plaza, there might still be noisy sounds, but here in the center, it was exceptionally quiet. Soul masters stood or sat, surrounding the statue. From ti to ti, people would pass by and bow to show their respect.
Tang San silently watched this scene, frowning slightly. Really, this fellow is everywhere. To erect a statue now, who do you think you are!
He slowly walked on the road back to the hotel, but his heart was strange. How did my great betting thod fail? Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be that once I encounter difficulties, a desperate situation, or want to obtain a treasure from the other party, and I propose a bet, the other party will agree?
How did it fail today?
His brow was tightly furrowed. He looked at his right arm and sighed long in his heart. At this mont, he suddenly felt that the two words "Spiderweb Bind" were incomparably piercing. The soul skill he had used for who knows how many years, at this mont, he felt a little disgusted with.
At this ti, Yu Tianheng caught up to Tang San. He very naturally put his hand on Tang San’s shoulder. "Tang San, don’t be unhappy. Although you didn’t pass the legendary flower king’s test, I believe that not many people can pass it."
"We have all seen your feelings for Ruyan. We believe that you have always loved her deeply. It’s just that you haven’t walked out of the past yet."
Tang San’s face turned black. He pushed away Yu Tianheng’s hand. "I don’t need you to worry. You should mind your own business. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Holy crap, are you cursing again?
Yu Tianheng’s eyes widened. Do you think I want to be close to you? It’s all just a task from the elders at ho.
"What’s wrong with not having a girlfriend? Without a girlfriend, I’m perfectly comfortable by myself." He suddenly changed the subject.
"Xiao San," Yu Tianheng said earnestly, "let tell you, you are still young. You must take protective asures. I heard that several of your companions from Shrek go to the brothels every day. It will be troubleso if they get sick."
"Spending a huge amount of gold soul coins to hire a healing-type soul master is a small matter, but becoming ’famous all over the world’ is a big matter!"
Tang San let out a frustrated breath. "They go, what does it have to do with ?!"
"You don’t go?" Yu Tianheng’s eyebrow raised.
"Go to your mother! Get lost!"
Tang San cursed loudly. This fellow wants to fra , to give a bad na. He truly has a death wish. He turned and walked away.
Yu Tianheng still shouted, "Rember to use protection!" He shook his head, a trace of sympathy in his eyes. He, Tang San, doesn’t know, but who knows if Yu Ruyan has that kind of disease? "This is a kind reminder. Who can know if she will go looking for other n again..."
Tang San’s face was gloomy as he walked to the hotel.
Pushing open his own room door and seeing Yu Ruyan, the stuffiness in his heart dissipated a little. Yu Ruyan was sitting by the window, holding a book in her hand. The sunlight shone on her through the window, adding a bit of gentleness to her. Seeing Tang San return, she gently closed the book, stood up, and went to et him.
"Tang San, what’s wrong? You don’t look like you’re in a good mood," Yu Ruyan asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.
Tang San looked at Yu Ruyan, and the frustration in his heart seed to have instantly found an outlet. He sighed and briefly told her what had happened today.
Yu Ruyan’s gaze moved. "The test of that immortal herb, most people probably can’t pass it. You don’t have to be heartbroken." She held Tang San in her arms, but in her heart, she was complaining. Heh, so you still have soone else in your heart. Is it still that Xiao Wu? Then, you can’t bla either. We are just using each other.
Tang San felt Yu Ruyan’s gentleness, and the frustration in his heart gradually subsided. He held her tightly and said softly, "Thank you."
Yu Ruyan gently patted Tang San’s back and comforted, "What’s past is past. Aren’t we very good now? As long as we trust each other and work hard together, the future will definitely be better."
Her eyes were bright, as if filled with longing for the future.
Tang San walked to the edge of the bed and looked at the clothes in the corner of the bed with so surprise. He frowned and picked them up, examining them carefully for a while. So revealing?
Yu Ruyan’s pupils shrank slightly. That damn balding chicken, he forgot there was still one piece here!
"This is..."
Yu Ruyan snatched it over, her face so red it looked like it was about to drip blood. She said weakly, "I just wanted to try it. The elders in the clan all say that boys like this kind of thing..."
The corner of Tang San’s mouth twitched. "I don’t like it. You don’t have to do this."
"Oh~~, then I’ll throw it away now," Yu Ruyan agreed. Pah, what a prude. No wonder you’re impotent.
Tang San held Yu Ruyan and suddenly asked with surprise, "Your hair, why is it so ssy? Didn’t you tidy it today?"
"Ah, yes... I guess so. When I got up today, I was reading all the ti."
Tang San shook his head. "Get the wooden comb. I’ll comb your hair for you."
"Alright, thank you, Third Brother," Yu Ruyan answered sweetly.
Taking out an exquisite wooden comb from his storage soul tool, Tang San gently combed Yu Ruyan’s long hair. His movents were gentle and skilled, as if he had done it countless tis. Yu Ruyan’s long hair was as smooth as silk. With Tang San’s combing, it gradually returned to its original order.
"Third Brother, that banquet tonight, are we going?"
"That kind of thing, I’m not interested."
Yu Ruyan was anxious. "Third Brother, this is a good opportunity to get in touch with other top-tier factions! And your friend, the Star Luo prince, and so on. If you can get investnt for your hidden weapons on this kind of occasion, wouldn’t that be a great thing?"
Tang San nodded slightly. He had actually thought about it too, but those fellows didn’t seem to want to have much to do with his Clear Sky Sect. It was fine to go for a trip.
Mmm...
Hmm?
Tang San’s gaze moved slightly. Isn’t Yu Ruyan a sweet and innocent girl? How did she suddenly beco so articulate in analyzing this kind of thing? And, she seems to be exceptionally enthusiastic about the banquet. This doesn’t match her usual low-key style. More importantly, when she ntioned "your friend, the Star Luo prince," her tone seed to carry a trace of an imperceptible urgency.
Alarm bells rang in Tang San’s heart, but he remained expressionless on the surface, continuing to comb Yu Ruyan’s hair. He said softly, "Since you think it’s necessary, then let’s go for a trip. But, there will be many people at the banquet. You have to be careful."
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan was happy in her heart, but on her face, she pretended to be calm. "Don’t worry, Third Brother. I will be careful."
After combing her hair, Tang San put the wooden comb back into his storage soul tool. He turned to get his outer coat, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a slight wrinkle on Yu Ruyan’s collar. The shape of the wrinkle seed to be left by being tightly clutched by fingers.
Tang San’s pupils shrank slightly, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart. He rembered that this piece of clothing was still in the closet yesterday. Yu Ruyan’s collar was flat. This wrinkle had obviously appeared later. Wearing it normally at ho, there shouldn’t be any wrinkles.
Combined with Yu Tianheng’s words from before, as well as Yu Ruyan’s various abnormalities today, Tang San suddenly had so guesses in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm, and turned to look at Yu Ruyan. "Ruyan, have you seen anyone today?"
Yu Ruyan was stunned for a mont, then smiled. "No, Third Brother. I’ve been in my room reading all day."
Tang San stared intently at her eyes, trying to see sothing from them. "Really no one? For example, Ma Hongjun?"
Yu Ruyan’s expression was natural. "Third Brother, what are you talking about? Ma Hongjun seems to be your classmate, right? Isn’t he supposed to be studying at the soul master academy? Why would I go looking for him with nothing better to do?"
"Mmm, just asking casually. The banquet is about to start. Do you want to go together?"
"Sure."
Yu Ruyan smiled radiantly, and naturally took Tang San’s shoulder. The whole movent was smooth and natural. When she got to the door, she slapped her head. "Oh, right!"
Yu Ruyan walked to the clothes rack, took the outer coat, and put it into her soul tool. "Let’s go, Third Brother."
"Why did you take the outer coat? The temperature today is not low."
Yu Ruyan stuck out her small tongue. "It’s all my fault for being too clumsy. This morning, I wanted to tidy up the clothes in the closet. When I took this one out, I accidentally scraped it against a crack in the closet, leaving a little wrinkle. I’ll just take it down and have the waiter help tidy it up."
"Is that so?"
A look of enlightennt appeared on Tang San’s face. So that’s how it is. I must have been overthinking it, right?
Night fell. In a private room of the largest hotel in Spirit City, the various factions gathered together, the lights brilliant.
Tang San and Yu Ruyan stepped into the venue and imdiately attracted many gazes. Yu Ruyan was wearing a carefully selected long dress, elegant without losing its charm. Walking side by side with Tang San, the seemingly harmonious picture of the two made many people secretly guess their relationship.
"Tang San, over here!" A familiar voice ca. It was Dai Mubai, waving at them. In the corner on that side was the position of their Shrek Academy. Ma Hongjun glanced at Yu Ruyan, his eyes lighting up, but on the surface, there was no emotional fluctuation.
Tang San and Yu Ruyan walked over and exchanged a few pleasantries with Dai Mubai and the others. Dai Mubai stood behind the two, his gaze lingering on Yu Ruyan for a mont, then he gave Tang San a aningful look. Anyone who’s been to the brothels knows. Whether it works or not, the young lady will give a hint.
Dai Mubai shook his head. Has this Yu Ruyan been there, or is she doing those things herself... giving a hint?
The banquet officially began. This banquet did not have any host. It was just held casually. Many people from the factions did not co, for example, the Heaven Dou imperial family and the four lower sects. They had already left when Lin Feng went to the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven.
Tang San walked to the side and ca to stand beside Dai Mubai. "Why did you co here? Aren’t you afraid of seeing your brother?"
Dai Mubai sneered coldly. "What am I afraid of? This is Spirit City. Killing is not allowed. And, now with Dean Flender and you protecting , it’s equivalent to having the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect behind . I can go wherever I want."
Tang San looked at him quietly. "Mubai, although I am not from Star Luo, I still have to say, your competition is a matter of life and death. Do you really want to continue to degenerate?"
Obviously, Dai Mubai had found a backer and was acting like Fong Tong Geng. If Dai Weishi were to co, then he could take the opportunity to mock him. You can’t hit , stupid!
Of course, it was just a cheer before his death a few years later.
Dai Mubai was silent. "It doesn’t matter anymore. I fled the empire. The Soul Vein won’t be arranged for . He is older than . I am destined to fail. It’s better to have a good ti for a while."
Tang San narrowed his eyes and no longer bothered with him. It’s also good to have one less Boss Dai in this life.
"It’s His Highness the Holy Son!"
An exclamation broke the surrounding whispers. Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on the entrance. Lin Feng was not wearing a magnificent robe, just ordinary clothes, as he slowly walked into the venue.
"Don’t mind . As the organizer, I’m just here to make up the numbers. You all chat."
Lin Feng laughed, casually picked up a glass of fruit drink and toasted the surroundings, then flew up and ca to a room on the second floor, planning to check in for half an hour and then retreat.
The Shrek group’s eyes widened. "He... he can fly? He’s a Titled Douluo!?"
Tang San frowned. "That’s his soul skill."
Ma Hongjun said with so envy, "Lin Feng is worthy of being the one to propose the Soul Veins. The rules and common sense of the martial soul world seem to have never existed. I’m so envious. When can I fly?"
Flender picked him up with annoyance. "You, this grass chicken, all you know all day is eating and sleeping with won. It would be strange if you could fly. Sooner or later, you’ll die on a woman’s belly!" As he spoke, he beca a little angry. "If your soul power doesn’t level up next month, I’ll lock you in a sealed room and let you solve your evil fire problem yourself."
"No~~~"
---
Lin Feng sat on the sofa, bored. He glanced at the factions below, his gaze moving slightly. "The four great families, they actually didn’t co?"
He spoke to the shadows on one side. "What’s the news on the four great families recently?"
"Here. Besides the four great families, there is also other intelligence. It’s all here," a platinum bishop appeared from the shadows and handed Lin Feng a storage ring.
"Why didn’t you give it to earlier?"
The bishop smiled. "Her Majesty the Pope said that unless His Highness the Holy Son asks himself, there is no need to hand it over to the Holy Son."
Lin Feng shook his head and laughed with so amusent. This is a good leader. Proactively reducing the burden on her subordinates, taking matters into her own hands, instead of troubling her subordinates with every big and small matter.
He waved his hand, and the bishop disappeared on his own.
"Bai He and Yang Wudi," Lin Feng stroked his chin. "It’s ti to take them in. It’s estimated that they also didn’t expect that the Clear Sky Sect would return so quickly. Although Tang Hao has been expelled from the family register, the matter of destroying his two eggs has also caused the Clear Sky Sect to lose face. It’s estimated that they will be made things difficult for so ti."
"Bang bang—"
The corner of Lin Feng’s eye narrowed slightly. He had already seen through the scene outside the door. Zhu Zhuyun? What is she doing here?
"Please co in."
Zhu Zhuyun swayed her waist and pushed the door open to enter. A perfect smile was on her face, neither overly enthusiastic nor cold. She was wearing a tight-fitting long dress, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Every step appeared elegant and charming.
"Your Highness, Holy Son, Zhuyun has co to pay a special visit. I hope I have not disturbed your fine mood," Zhu Zhuyun’s voice was gentle and slightly magnetic, making people can’t help but have a good impression after hearing it.
Lin Feng chuckled lightly and motioned for her to sit down. "Miss Zhu is too polite. To be able to et here is also fate. I wonder what business Miss Zhu has on this trip?"
Zhu Zhuyun sat down gracefully, her legs crossed, her hands gently resting on her knees. "To be honest, Zhuyun has co this ti to ask for a small favor from Your Highness the Holy Son."
"Oh? Tell about it," Lin Feng picked up his teacup, blew on it lightly, a hint of amusent in his eyes.
"It’s about the matter of the Star Luo Empire’s imperial princes competing..." Zhu Zhuyun lowered her voice and looked around.
"Feel free to speak. No third person will hear."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded and let out a sigh of relief. "Your Highness, Holy Son, I would like to ask you to help my younger sister."
"Oh? Aren’t you two supposed to evolve into a life-and-death feud?" Lin Feng was sowhat surprised.
Zhu Zhuyun let out a bitter laugh. "Your Highness, Holy Son, there is sothing you don’t know. In our childhood, we were actually not that deeply hateful. Zhuqing and I were once the closest of sisters."
"Later, after learning that the objects of the marriage alliance between the family and the imperial family were us sisters, our relationship beca broken... I was the one who proactively distanced myself from her, to make her hate , in order to give her the motivation to cultivate."
Lin Feng nodded. It was no wonder that Zhu Zhuqing could flee thousands of miles, cross the border alone, and go to Suotuo City. The pursuit team was probably an escort team.
"Then, you ca to find . What do you want to do?"
Zhu Zhuyun sighed. "Originally, I was thinking of letting Dai Mubai and Zhuqing fight with us. After defeating them, I would find an opportunity to switch the crown prince with a civet cat, and let Zhuqing live in seclusion."
"But now, I don’t know if you know about Dai Mubai’s situation. He goes to the brothels all day, neglects his cultivation, and has lost his fighting spirit."
"I’m afraid he will even flee the final duel. The result of that is that there won’t even be a duel. His Majesty will directly order their execution. So, I have specially co to seek your help, hoping to find a shelter for my younger sister."
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground. It was unknown if it was intentional, but her bosom, which was probably even more magnificent than Zhu Zhuqing’s, was right in Lin Feng’s line of sight.
It had to be said, she was worthy of being a big cat.
"Get up. And, put away your little thoughts. Otherwise, I won’t help."
Zhu Zhuyun was stunned for a mont, then hurriedly got up, pulled at the collar in front of her, and smiled sowhat awkwardly.
"This request concerns Star Luo and Spirit Hall. This is not a matter between the two of us, but a matter between two factions. What benefits can my Spirit Hall get?"
"Also, how do you plan to persuade her and send her over?"
