"Nannan, don't you cry. I..." Xu Sanshi was at a loss. He clearly remembered that the last time he had tried to pursue her, Jiang Nannan had still rejected him so decisively. But why had it now evolved into this?
And just at this time, hearing Jiang Nannan's cry, the out-of-seclusion Xiao Xiao had rushed over.
"Senior Sister Nannan!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly went over to comfort her and glared at Xu Sanshi. "Senior Brother Xu, what did you do to Senior Sister Nannan?"
Xu Sanshi for a time only felt that he had a hundred mouths but could not argue. He had just kindly come over to give Jiang Nannan an immortal grass. How would he have known that Jiang Nannan's emotional fluctuation would be so great? And with his understanding of girls, Jiang Nannan's action just now was undoubtedly to lure him?
Could it be that what one couldn't get was always the best? Xu Sanshi let out a bitter laugh. To think that back then he had painstakingly pursued Jiang Nannan but had been unable to get her. But now it seemed that the two sides had been reversed.
"Xiao Xiao, don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything. Wutong asked me to give Nannan an immortal grass. I..."
"You go! Go!" Jiang Nannan cried out. Her round two legs were continuously kicking away the ceramic fragments on the ground. If it had been the former Xu Sanshi, he would very likely have fixed his gaze on this pair of long legs. But now, he had on the contrary just sighed. He turned his body and left with some dejection.
How could he have understood Jiang Nannan's thoughts? Xu Sanshi only knew that three months ago, Jiang Nannan had clearly still disliked him, and had even been hostile to him. Besides pursuing her like a simp, what else had he done?
By the time Jiang Nannan had had a change of heart, Xu Sanshi's heart had long since belonged to another.
It was just like an ordinary but overconfident woman that Huo Yuhao had commonly seen in his past life. She had always thought she could keep a spare tire hanging, but had not dared to think that a spare tire could one day also find its own love.
Xu Sanshi was full of his own thoughts as he walked out of Jiang Nannan's residence. He just happened to run into the Bei Bei who had returned to Sea God Island. The latter had a downcast look.
Xu Sanshi knew of Tang Ya's disappearance. He went forward and patted Bei Bei's shoulder and did not say much.
"Little Ya is gone. Sister Lexuan is also gone. I..." Bei Bei was still sunk in his own world of grief, completely unaware that his brother was by his side, comforting him.
"Sister Lexuan is also gone? Where did she go?" Xu Sanshi's eyeballs immediately widened. To say that Tang Ya had left alone for the sake of her sect was still excusable. But for what had Zhang Lexuan left?
Bei Bei immediately realized that he had misspoken. But it was unknown why. He both regretted having let Zhang Lexuan leave alone to look for Tang Ya, and yet also hoped that Zhang Lexuan could find Tang Ya back for him and complete him.
Xu Sanshi soon guessed the reason and looked at Bei Bei in surprise. "You couldn't have let Eldest Senior Sister go alone to help you find Little Ya, could you?"
Bei Bei shook his head. "It was Sister Lexuan who insisted on going. She had also imprisoned me. I couldn't stop her either."
Hearing this, Xu Sanshi was silent. Almost no Shrek disciple was Zhang Lexuan's opponent. For Bei Bei to have been imprisoned by her was actually very normal. And Zhang Lexuan's feelings for Bei Bei, he had long since felt them from the side. It was just that for the sake of his good brother's face, it was not convenient to say it out loud.
Zhang Lexuan was willing to give up everything for Bei Bei. So even if Bei Bei didn't explain, he could also understand Zhang Lexuan's stubbornness in going alone.
"Eldest Senior Sister will basically not have any problem. You can rest assured," at this point, Xu Sanshi could only pat his brother's shoulder and comfort him.
Bei Bei's eyes were dim. He was just afraid that Tang Ya would join the evil soul master organization, the Holy Spirit Cult, which had been causing a great stir recently. The experts there were like clouds. Even the Soul Douluo-level Zhang Lexuan was completely not enough to look at.
And among them was also a key figure, the Huo Yuhao who had once studied at Shrek Academy.
Bei Bei had learned from Mu En that there would be a hostage exchange next. It would probably be held tomorrow outside the east gate of Shrek. If Tang Ya wanted to join the Holy Spirit Cult, it was very likely that she would appear tomorrow along with the Holy Spirit Cult.
The moment he thought of this, Bei Bei's mind immediately became much more active. If he could find Tang Ya back tomorrow, he would have a hundred ways to promptly recall Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan!
On the other side, due to the lack of the key figure, Huo Gua, He Caitou, after being nominated for the Seven Devils, had been conducting the extreme individual soldier plan training alone all along.
At this time, he was staying in the soul tool department's practice field. The tall Fan Yu was standing by his side.
"Caitou, in a moment, we will test your extreme strength. In this test, you must go all out and fight without any reservation. In the process of the test, we will continuously increase the number of soul beasts to squeeze your ability. Only when you have lost your combat ability will this test be considered over. The soul beasts' attack on you will by no means be merciful. We will be ready to rescue you at any time, but we do not rule out the possibility of an accident. Therefore, in the process of the battle, you have to think of all ways to protect yourself. The longer you insist, and the more soul beasts you face, the higher your evaluation in this test will be. In the process of the test, you can kill the soul beasts. There is no need to have any scruples. Besides not being able to use a fixed-guidance soul tool, you can use all other abilities. The first element of an extreme individual soldier is to protect oneself as much as possible under any circumstances. This point you must remember. Go. Go to the center of the field. The soul beasts will appear from any direction, and next there will be no starting prompt. Let us see to what extent you can do it."
"Yes," He Caitou agreed with a firm look in his eyes. The earnest expectations of the Sea God Pavilion's elders, the hope that Teacher Fan Yu had placed on him, and the theoretical guidance of Teacher's Wife Zhou Yi's martial soul department—all of this had made He Caitou's heart long since be filled with a blazing battle intent. He had to work hard, to struggle, to strive, and to improve himself with all his might.
He Caitou collected his mood and walked towards the center of the beast-fighting area...
The facts had proved that without the help of the original novel's Huo Gua, no matter how good He Caitou's talent was, without the support of the latest soul tool theoretical knowledge research, he could only do useless work in the Shrek soul tool department. His growth was extremely slow, which had made him gradually pull away from his partners.
It could be said that the source of destruction, He Caitou, had both succeeded because of Huo Gua and had failed because of Huo Gua.

Tang Wutong was quietly sitting cross-legged in the Golden Tree. From time to time, a thick soul power fluctuation would come from her body.
Back then, after the four gods of Tang Hao had been defeated by Huo Yuhao and the various beasts of Star Dou, she should have returned to the Divine Realm along with her grandparents. But she had received her father's signal and had stayed behind in the name of training. Her Uncle Zi and Auntie Lü had not paid too much attention to this and had let her stay on the Douluo plane.
Having lost the protection of the Sea God's power, besides her soul power level, which had still been raised to that of a Soul King, her martial soul and soul rings had all returned to their original appearance: the Radiant Goddess Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer. Among them, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly had one yellow, two purple, and two black, five soul rings. And the Clear Sky Hammer had five black, ten-thousand-year soul rings.
Even so, for her to have reached such a degree at the age of twelve could also be said to be thanks to the lingering grace of her father's generation.
But she knew very well that she still had a terrifying gap with the number one of the younger generation, Huo Yuhao. That was a chasm that she could not cross even if she had staked her father's protection. She would never be able to forget the day her three martial souls had fused with Xu Sanshi to form the Sea God King and had been violently beaten by the golden figure.
Therefore, she had to work hard to cultivate. For this, even if it meant sucking dry the Douluo plane through the Golden Tree, it did not matter!
Ever since Mu En had recovered, most of his time had been spent following Tang Wutong to the bottom of the Golden Tree to cultivate. He had long since reached Limit Douluo, but at most he was still at the quasi-demigod level. The Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao, was also at this level. There was still a certain gap with Ye Xishui's demigod level. And Ye Xishui was quite a bit off from Di Tian's quasi-god level.
Just tomorrow, this highly anticipated hostage transaction was about to be carried out. In order to ensure Xian Lin'er's safe return and to resist the invasion of the evil soul master organization, all the Sea God Pavilion's elders, including Mu En, had to improve their strength as soon as possible.
Before the two uncles, Da Ming and Er Ming, had left, they had specially left a silk pouch for Tang Wutong, for her to hand over to Xu Sanshi.
With her current ability, it was naturally impossible for her to open this silk pouch to peek at the contents. She could only give up and throw it into her storage space.
She stretched. To cultivate by herself was, after all, not as fast as her cultivating with Xu Sanshi in a martial soul fusion. The thought of the two of them cultivating with the power of Shi Hao made a blush can't help but well up on Tang Wutong's pretty face.
Ever since the end of the tournament, Xu Sanshi had been recuperating. It wasn't until today that she had finally been able to see this Third Senior Brother. At that time, she had at the first moment pounced into his embrace, venting the grievances she had suffered from Huo Yuhao, and had not forgotten to entrust him with an immortal grass that had been planted in the Clear Sky Sect to be brought to Jiang Nannan.
She had already begun to learn to face her own feelings. Since Jiang Nannan had no intention for Xu Sanshi, then she might as well just have herself stay by Third Senior Brother's side.
Senior Sister Nannan will only show Third Brother a bad face. Unlike her, she will only feel sorry for gege—
