Chapter 48 The Son of Haotian?
"Then... can I take some magic cores?"
"?"
Xiao Zhan looked at him, a genuine question mark on his face. Hearing and seeing his desired request appear, he paused for a second, recalling his completely useless actions, words, and hints just now.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then waved his hand helplessly.
"Go ahead, I've already spoken to the warehouse. Just go get what you need."
"...Did you already say that?"
Xiao Yan responded curiously, then turned and left without looking at him again.
Watching his departing figure, Xiao Zhan hesitated even more, finally letting out a deep sigh.
The Third Elder, who had witnessed everything, slowly spoke up: "He is not willing to return home... The early death of his parents has ultimately diminished this child's sense of belonging to the Xiao family."
"I know that too." Xiao Zhan rubbed his temples.
"But what can he do? He has been living alone since he was four years old and has long been used to not relying on his family."
I originally wanted to use this opportunity to get him more involved, but I don't even know what he wants or why he needs a magic core. He likes cultivation, but he doesn't even bother to visit the Yunlan Sect.
The Third Elder pondered for a moment:
"How about... we consider arranging a marriage for him? I remember someone mentioning someone around the same age as that child..."
"Marriage?"
Xiao Zhan repeated himself, then shook his head. "Let's put it aside for now. What does he know at his age? Forcing him to do something he doesn't like will only backfire."
Of course, if a suitable person is found, let the woman naturally get to know him as a playmate of the same age, and see how things go.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, both noticing the embarrassment on each other's faces.
At their age, no one had ever thought about such things for them, and now even someone younger than them has.
"..."
On the other side, Xiao Yan went straight to the family storeroom after leaving.
With Xiao Zhan's prior notice, he easily obtained a bag of magic cores without much effort.
That's right, a whole bag!
The heavy cloth bag contained five magic cores, each worth about four or five hundred gold coins.
"Did I ask for too much... or did he suddenly become more generous today?" Xiao Yan wondered to himself as he carried the bag.
But now that we have the item, there is absolutely no reason to return it.
There are no hands!
"Five... that's enough for at least five teleportations."
He weighed the bag in his hand. "Even if that 'beggar' is incredibly good at crouching, it's impossible for him to lock onto my landing spot five times in a row, right?"
However, the most urgent task is to master the Soul Bone Technique first.
At the very least, you have to master that "shield" first.
A smile that had just formed on Xiao Yan's lips curled up.
He started walking towards his home.
Deep within his mental space, the curled-up pink and white figure seemed to sense something, and its invisible rabbit ears twitched almost imperceptibly.
……
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent...
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Infirmary.
Looking at Tang San, who had finally fallen asleep but still had furrowed brows and a pained expression, Yu Xiaogang sighed almost inaudibly and quietly withdrew.
He walked through the corridor back to his room and just opened the door.
A figure in black robes stood silently in his room.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Jade Emperor!"
Tang Hao nodded slightly.
In the past few days, he has roughly figured out the turmoil caused by his impulsive actions, the movements of the Spirit Hall, and everything Yu Xiaogang has done to cover up Tang San's identity.
While not perfect, it was the best that the person in front of him could achieve within his capabilities.
He intended to leave quietly from the start, but his impulsive and angry actions unexpectedly attracted the attention of the Spirit Hall, and almost exposed his mistress to danger.
All that planning almost went to waste.
Damn brat...
The image of that kid unconsciously flashed through Tang Hao's mind again, and the anger and killing intent in his heart surged uncontrollably.
The chilling aura that emanated from it made Yu Xiaogang's face turn pale. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he forcibly stopped himself and stood still.
"You said before that the Spirit Hall recognized that Elder's Token as your own?" Tang Hao asked calmly, his tone unreadable.
The oppressive atmosphere intensified even further.
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly, but in front of Tang Hao, he managed to remain calm and replied, "Yes."
He hadn't expected that the woman would still have feelings for him.
"Truly a master."
Tang Hao's tone was unreadable, "To think they could do this."
With the Elder's Token personally certified by the Spirit Hall's main hall in hand, Xiao San's future identity and safety would be openly guaranteed.
Of course, this "guarantee" is based on the fact that a larger and more questionable target has been brought to the forefront.
Borrowing the Spirit Hall's blade, we'll hunt down that brat...
It's not a bad move, though.
One person guarding is completely different from hundreds or thousands of people guarding. No matter how well that kid can hide, he still needs to hunt for a soul ring and increase his soul power, right?
Once locked down, all struggles will be in vain.
However, waiting for the Spirit Hall to uncover enough details on its own would be too slow.
Tang Hao turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, "Use the Elder's Token to leak some more information about that kid to the Spirit Hall, especially what I said about 'hiding'."
"No problem, but what about the others?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but press, "If the Spirit Hall ultimately confirms that the boy is the target, everyone outside will assume he is the offspring of the Clear Sky Douluo, then the Clear Sky Sect..."
"It's alright."
Tang Hao naturally understood Yu Xiaogang's concerns; it was nothing more than the Clear Sky Sect's secret interference leading to a misunderstanding and them being mistaken for allies.
"The Haotian Sect wouldn't go to such lengths for a protégé who hasn't even awakened the Haotian Hammer. Even if they did encounter him, without the Haotian Hammer as proof, nothing would happen."
As for the other families…”
"If they were truly a threat, I wouldn't have ended up in that situation."
After saying that, Tang Hao didn't linger. With a flicker, he disappeared into the room as if blending into the shadows.
Only key information about Xiao Yan was left.
Yu Xiao had just looked away.
"Wait, what?!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically as he looked at the message left by Tang Hao.
It was written very clearly on that piece of paper.
A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years!
It's unbelievable that even this kind of "fake news" has been released. It seems that Haotian Douluo is truly determined to make that kid die without a burial place.
What happened between them that led to this?
Once this news is released, not only the Spirit Hall, but probably all the spirit masters on the continent will go crazy!
Soul bones are rare treasures that are hard to come by and can cause bloodshed, let alone a 100,000-year soul bone, which is at the pinnacle of soul bones!
If it really exists, and it ends up in his hands, wouldn't I be able to change my fate like in the legends?
But how easy is it to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
"well--"
"Wait, I forgot to tell Haotian Douluo who the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall is."
