The Defense clan has taken the bait

It's been a few weeks since Hansen last met Ning Rongrong. After returning to the academy that day, Hansen didn't go to meet her again. After all, things like suspicion and distrust take time to ferment.

On the other hand, Man Chu has already started to assimilate in the Shrek academy, winning their trust step by step. But for now he didn't need to do anything except to silently improve his own strength and keep an eye on Tang San .

Since he has already changed the plot to some extent and stole many of Tang San's opportunities, now even Hansen can't predict what might happen next. That's why it's necessary for him to bury a nail on Tang San's side so that if something unexpected happens in the future, he can react timely and take necessary measures.

On the contrary to his planning, his life was having some major ups and downs. During the past few days, Hansen (the lustful demon) had been trying to seduce.... cough, console Liu Erlong who had been left devastated after finding out the truth of Yu Xiaogang.

But although he could see some progress in Liu Erlong's feelings towards him, there were two big problems on the way to his success.

First and foremost was the fact that he already had Zhu Zhuqing as his girlfriend. So in a sense, he is no different from hypocrite himself if he tries to seduce Liu Erlong while already being in a relationship.

And second, it was the taboo relationship of a student and teacher. In a sense, for the world of Douluo Dalu it was even more taboo than the cousin relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong previously.

But where there is a will, there is a way. Thus Hansen didn't loose hope and continued shamelessly.

But he faced another problem on this holy mission. After some time, Zhu Zhuqing has also started to feel that something suspicious is going on between him and Liu Erlong. It's just that she can't put a finger on it for now.

A woman's instinct can be very scary sometimes.

But leaving that aside, just today, Hansen finally received a good news from Tai Tan's side.

According to him, he has already talked with Niu Gao about this matter. And after seeing the benefits of joining the Dark Order he has already shown signs of giving it a try.

But to be completely sure about his decision so that he doesn't regret it in the future, he wants to personally meet him in the Rising Dragon city.

Thinking of this, Hansen recalled the information about the Rising Dragon city in his mind.

Rising Dragon City is a city that is situated in the north of Star Luo Empire, less than two hundred li from the common border of the two great empires.

However the Rising Dragon City in itself isn't directly under the administration of the Star Luo imperial family, but rather it falls under the territory within the borders of a subordinate kingdom. Because of trade, this not at all large city, is still flourishing, visitors coming and going endlessly.

More importantly, the headquarters of both the Defense clan and the Breaking clan are located there. So in a sense, Niu Gao is also testing if Hansen had the courage to enter their territory knowing full well that it might be a trap.

Unfortunately this is where he miscalculated. On the entire Douluo continent, there is no place where Hansen doesn't dare to go.

Yes, he is that awesome. The number of life saving skills he has in his arsenal at the moment are what gave him this confidence.

Of course, confidence was one thing but he wouldn't foolishly go and provoke enemies like the King of Hell Tang Chen , Qian Douluo, Ditian or any limit Douluo level powerhouse to speak of.

There is a conceptual difference between self confidence and over confidence. And those who don't understand to differentiate between them often pay a heavy price for this.

But Niu Gao was only a Soul Douluo and couldn't be compared to those Limit Douluos at all.

"Alright, go and tell Tai Tan that he can arrange the meeting this weekend. I will be there on time. "

Hansen instructed the messenger who nodded obediently and left soon after that.

Since Hansen had never been to that place before so couldn't use apparition to directly teleport there. As result, he had to ask Tai Tan to arrange a carriage for him to travel there.

After briefly meeting with Zhu Zhuqing and Liu Erlong, Hansen left for the Rising Dragon city.

...

Three days later

The Rising Dragon City

The Strength Clan's carriage entered Rising Dragon City after passing a simple inspection at the gate. Of course, the taxes for foreign merchants entering the city were indispensable. The people were counted accordingly, but most astonishing was that even the horses pulling the carriage counted as people.

Each person was one gold spirit coin, the carriages three spirit coins, and further adding the two healthy horses, they had to pay a total of nine spirit coins just to enter the city.

"Well that's an expensive city to visit. "

Hansen sighed in surprise but didn't care much about it.

Rising Dragon City was far smaller than Heaven Dou City, and the carriage pulled by the horses very soon reached its destination. The carriage stopped outside of a large house.

When Hansen stepped down from the carriage and looked towards the great gate of this courtyard, his face couldn't help revealing a smiling expression. This unexpectedly seemed quite similar to the Strength Clan's mansion, just that the inscribed board above the gate had the word 'Defense'.

The Strength clan member who was responsible for driving the carriage smiled and explained:"Our four clans' buildings were designed by the Defense Clan. That's why they're very similar. Even though the construction seems quite crude overall, the interior actually conceals a lot of mechanisms suitable for defending. The Defense Clan's position in the construction field is comparable to our Strength Clan's position in forging. It's said that this Rising Dragon City lord's mansion was also remodelled by them. It's also because of that project that they gained his favour and could lay their foundation in this city. "

And just when they were still talking, another carriage pulled up from the other side and stopped beside them. It was also a carriage belonging to the Strength clan and as soon as it stopped, Tai Tan came out of it with a wide smile on his face, followed by Tai Long. 

"You're finally here? Good, let's go and meet the Old Rhino. I am pretty sure that today's meeting will be a great success. Hahaha."

Tai Tan said cheerfully.
