Chapter 37 Yu Xiaogang Goes to the Holy Court, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing Kneel and Beg to Become Masters!
In an instant, Tang San trembled, the smile on his lips froze, his heart pounded, and he hurriedly said, "Teacher, what...what are you saying?"
"You're testing my character, aren't you..."
After saying this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he didn't see that familiar testing look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Immediately afterward, Tang San felt as if something had shattered in his mind, a wave of dizziness washing over him.
His hand holding the medicine bag slipped, scattering the herbs all over the ground.
Yu Xiaogang and Flander both looked grave. The latter sighed helplessly and advised, "Little San, accept reality, your father is really dead..."
Tang San, after all, had lived two lives, and his character and intelligence far surpassed those of his peers.
He gasped for breath, suppressing his body's instinctive grief, while simultaneously considering all possibilities in his mind.
Tang San's father wasn't in Holy Soul Village. The Heavenly Ranking had just mentioned the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, and the sect's successor was named Tang Hao!
The Clear Sky Sect's inherited martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer! And his second martial soul was also a hammer!
Furthermore, his teacher and father had both forbade him to easily reveal this second martial soul.
"My father… could he be the Clear Sky Douluo?!"
This news was unacceptable to Tang San.
How could his father, who had long been an alcoholic in Holy Soul Village, be a Title Douluo powerhouse?
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, his tone firm:
"That's right, your father is none other than the renowned Clear Sky Douluo."
"However…" He then explained to Tang San why the Clear Sky Douluo and the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion—the Spirit Hall!
The Clear Sky Sect's great grudge hadn't been avenged, and now they had incurred the wrath of the Holy Court, leading to the sect's complete annihilation!
How could they, mere ants, possibly shake the two behemoths, the Spirit Hall and the Holy Court?
Shrek Academy had offended Poison Douluo again, putting Tang San and his master, as well as the entire academy, in a precarious situation.
Even though Tang San was heartbroken and wanted revenge for his parents, he understood that his primary task was to survive until he possessed sufficient power.
Tang San wiped away his tears, a resolute glint in his eyes, "Teacher, what should I do next?"
Yu Xiaogang, his gaze sharp and composed, calmly replied, "I have a plan that might buy us more time."
"..."
Before the gates of the Holy Court, everyone looked at Jiang Che with only shock and respect.
This man before them was the true master of the Holy Court, a powerful figure who had single-handedly nurtured numerous Title Douluos!
Even the forces that came to pay their respects felt fear.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue secretly made up her mind.
Currently, she still represented the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and she could use her royal status to test Jiang Che's attitude.
Qian Renxue glanced at the maid beside her, who understood immediately, picked up the treasure box with both arms, and followed behind her.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two slowly stepped forward.
"As expected of the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, daring to be the first to pay respects to the Holy Lord!!!"
"We can just see the Holy Lord's attitude..."
"The Crown Prince's courage is truly admirable..." "..."
Qian Renxue stopped three meters in front of Jiang Che, cupped her hands in a slight bow, and said in Xue Qinghe's voice:
"Junior Xue Qinghe greets the Holy Lord."
"Qinghe has come to pay respects to His Majesty Jiang Che on the orders of my father, and wishes to invite you to the palace."
"A fine banquet has been prepared in the palace, please join us for a chat, and witness the prosperity of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City. My father has also prepared a small gift, and I hope the Holy Lord will not refuse."
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, the maid stepped forward with the treasure box, opened it, and bowed her head.
Facing the master of the number one power on the Heavenly Ranking, her heart was in her throat. She dared not meet Jiang Che's gaze, her whole body trembling slightly.
The item inside this treasure box was none other than the Sea God's token—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!
"Oh?"
Jiang Che glanced at the Vast Ocean Universe Cover inside the treasure box, and was taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "They even offered this? It seems the Heavenly Dou Empire's sincerity is quite considerable."
He coughed lightly, accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and stored it in his storage ring, saying, "I'll accept this small gift, but as for the invitation to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace and Xue Ye's invitation, forget it."
What's so great about the Imperial Palace? It's nowhere near as peaceful as his own secluded paradise.
Jiang Che didn't hesitate at all, decisively refusing.
Seeing this, everyone stared wide-eyed at Jiang Che.
He accepted the gift, but then forgot the invitation? Could it be like this?
After a moment's thought, it wasn't surprising.
After all, he was the sect leader of the number one sect on the Heavenly Ranking. If he really wanted something, he would simply send powerful experts to destroy the sect and seize it; why would he care about the intentions of others?
Jiang Che's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered for a moment.
Although the Holy Court was filled with powerful figures, her ten ferocious beasts and numerous beast race experts were not to be underestimated.
While the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace wasn't particularly valuable to win over, Qian Renxue had the Spirit Hall behind her.
Gu Yuena had awakened ahead of schedule and would surely have some understanding of the world's situation.
Gods only inherited their power from humans, and spirit beasts had been slaughtered by spirit masters for a long time.
Now that the Ice and Fire Dragon King's power had been absorbed by Hamo, the Holy Court would definitely suffer Gu Yuena's furious retaliation.
If he could have the Spirit Hall as an ally, even if he did go to war with Gu Yuena, the Holy Court should suffer no significant losses.
Thinking of this, Jiang Che continued, "However, I do find you rather pleasing to the eye, little fellow. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Holy Court."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was first taken aback, then overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Thank you, Holy Lord! It is truly an honor for Qinghe to be a guest of the Holy Court!"
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the other powerful figures all stared wide-eyed, their pupils filled with astonishment.
To become a guest of honor of the Holy Court was an incredibly rare opportunity!
Everyone regretted their earlier actions; if they had presented their treasures first, they could have received this honor!
However, they did not step forward.
They were all wondering if it was because Xue Qinghe's treasures were too valuable that the Holy Lord had taken a second look.
This was also the thought of Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and Yue Guan.
Seeing that the three families had not made a move, they dared not rashly present their treasures.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was like a torch, as if welded to Jiang Che. The aura and imposing presence displayed by the Holy Lord filled her with longing.
Only such a powerful figure could be her goal.
Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered as she nudged Zhu Zhuqing's arm, smiling brightly, "Zhuqing, let's hurry up and go, lest someone else beat us to it."
As the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong knew how much the first to try something new could benefit, and Xue Qinghe had already taken the lead.
Now was their chance.
While everyone hesitated, the two women strode towards Jiang Che.
"It seems Rongrong has really grown up."
Watching Ning Rongrong's retreating figure, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel nervous, while silently cheering for his daughter.
At this moment, Jiang Che also noticed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walking towards him.
Upon reaching Jiang Che, the two women spoke in unison, their voices clear yet filled with undisguised earnestness, "Junior Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing humbly request that Senior accept us as your disciples!"
Then, they both bent their knees and bowed to Jiang Che.
