"No, no, no—don't kill me. I have a secret. I know a huge secret, and I'm willing to trade it for my life."
Yu Xiaogang, his face full of terror, suddenly thought of something and shouted excitedly.
Li Qing smiled and said, "The secret you're talking about isn't that Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and besides his Blue Silver Grass, he also has a Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, is it?"
Yu Xiaogang: "???"
"Poof!"
Li Qing shook his head, and as soon as the longsword was in his hand, he swung it out, directly chopping off Yu Xiaogang's head. Even as his head was separated from his body, Yu Xiaogang's face still held a look of confusion.
He didn't understand how Li Qing knew.
Wiping his contaminated longsword on Yu Xiaogang, Li Qing put it away and walked towards Ning's Castle without looking back, showing no intention of collecting Yu Xiaogang's body.
Soon after Li Qing left, a middle-aged man arrived at the scene and took Yu Xiaogang's body away.
Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Lu and the others, bewildered, wanting to speak but hesitating. She just couldn't understand, wasn't it just for registration? How did it turn out like this?
"Sigh!"
In the end, all the helplessness in her heart transformed into a long sigh.
"Although there are many advanced Spirit Master academies in Heaven Dou City, the only one that uses simulated cultivation equipment is Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"The best choice is Heaven Dou Royal Academy; otherwise, you'll have to leave Heaven Dou City."
"Although you had some conflict with Li Qing and his group, it's not serious if you don't mention Yu Xiaogang. Just have Eldest Uncle step forward and negotiate with Dugu Bo."
Tang Yuehua said with a weary heart.
Oscar frowned slightly. If he could, he really didn't want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, because how could he forget the grudge of Flender's and Zhao Wuji's severed arms so quickly?
Ma Hongjun felt the same.
However, neither of them showed it. No matter where they studied or cultivated, it was all to improve their strength. Only when their strength was great enough could they seek revenge.
Tang Lu nodded and gave Tang Yuehua a look: "I'll go invite the Sect Master. The children are in your care."
"Alright!"
Tang Yuehua understood and agreed. After Tang Lu left, she called Tang San aside.
"Do you know Li Qing?"
Tang San nodded and said, "Li Qing used to study at Notting Academy. The attributes of my Blue Silver Grass Spirit were researched with his help."
Tang Yuehua asked again, "What's your relationship with him?"
Tang San shook his head: "He transferred not long after I enrolled, so I can only say we're acquainted."
Tang Yuehua nodded and said, "Just acquainted? That's still acceptable. With this basic connection, it should be much easier for you to build a good relationship with him."
Tang San looked puzzled.
He admitted that the current Li Qing was not what he used to be, but as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, there was no need for him to fawn over Li Qing, was there? The Clear Sky Sect wasn't without Title Douluo.
Tang Yuehua, however, said with a serious expression, "You must remember this."
"The matter with Yu Xiaogang ends here. From now on, you have no relation to him. When you enter the academy, you must do everything you can to build a good relationship with Li Qing."
Tang San asked, "Aunt, may I ask why?"
Tang Yuehua said, "Because he possesses the method for Spirit evolution. Actually, the method isn't the main thing, because we in the Clear Sky Sect now also have a copy of that method."
"The main thing is that he should also have the heavenly materials and earthly treasures required for Spirit evolution."
"Since you know him, you should know his talent, right? His innate spirit power was only level three, but now his spirit power level has reached at least level forty."
"Forty levels?" Tang San's eyes widened unconsciously.
Five years ago, the gap between them wasn't significant, but now he was only level twenty-three, while the other person had already reached a terrifying level forty. Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Tang Yuehua continued, "It's not just him."
"The three girls around him have all had their talents improved to some extent with his help. Even Ning Rongrong, who is younger than you, has reached the Spirit Elder level."
"The other two have already entered the Spirit Ancestor level."
"Li Qing is destined to be the top genius of your generation. Even if you can't get his help, building a good relationship with him certainly won't hurt."
The top genius?
Tang San's competitive spirit was instantly ignited by these words, because in his opinion, this honor should be his. After all, he was the third twin spirits in Spirit Master history.
Moreover, this honor had accompanied him since his time in the Tang Sect, so how could he hand it over now?
However, since Li Qing had such high value, he would just have to implement his plan of enduring hardship once more. Everything could wait until he reaped the benefits.
"What? Yu Xiaogang is dead?"
Qian Renxue suddenly stood up, her face a mix of shock and delight, thinking to herself who this kind person was that did this, it truly warmed her heart.
Snake Lance Douluo said, "I just received the news."
"It is said that he had a conflict with Xue Beng at the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then ran into Li Qing and his group later, and was finally killed by Li Qing on a plain near Ning's Castle."
"Currently, his body has been brought back by our people. The subordinates are asking if it should be sent to Spirit City."
"My suggestion is to temporarily conceal the news, otherwise, if the Supreme Pontiff learns of this, it might lead to actions detrimental to Spirit Hall, after all, her feelings for Yu Xiaogang…"
Snake Lance Douluo didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Ever since Bibi Dong gave up on Li Qing because of Yu Xiaogang, her relationship with Yu Xiaogang couldn't be kept secret, so Snake Lance Douluo also laid it all out.
Qian Renxue shook her head: "Li Qing took Yu Xiaogang away in broad daylight, it can't be hidden."
"With Grandfather here, she can't cause any trouble. Besides, I want to see how far she'll go for that 'white moonlight'."
"Whether she truly can abandon the greater good of Spirit Hall for that good-for-nothing."
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo shook his head helplessly. Neither mother nor daughter was easy to deal with. He wondered if it was good or bad for Spirit Hall to be in their hands.
Qian Renxue wrote a letter and had Snake Lance Douluo take it out of the palace, along with Yu Xiaogang, back to Spirit City.
The letter was naturally not for Bibi Dong, but for her grandfather, Qian Daoliu. She couldn't just watch that crazy woman drag Spirit Hall into deep trouble for a good-for-nothing.
After Snake Lance Douluo left, Qian Renxue left the imperial palace with two guards.
Li Qing had helped her with such a big favor; she had to at least treat him to a meal and take the opportunity to foster their relationship.
Although that crazy woman had given up on Li Qing, she wanted to try.
However, her current identity was troublesome. If Li Qing didn't acknowledge her when she recovered her true identity in the future, then no matter how good their relationship was now, it would be meaningless.
Perhaps she should think of other methods.
