Chapter 140: Poison Douluo's Choice? Bone Douluo's Threat!
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't let Third Brother get into danger. If that day ever comes, I will be like Auntie and give everything for him, even my own life."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes were extremely firm, without the slightest hesitation, and her voice was clear and decisive.
"Xiao Wu, you really touched me, your uncle. I wasn't around all these years, and it was thanks to you that you accompanied Tang San." Hearing this, Tang Hao's eyes flashed with excitement, but he still didn't dare to smile easily. He could only suppress the joy in his heart and spoke slowly.
"This is what I should do." Xiao Wu nodded slightly and said softly.
After a moment of silence, Tang Hao's expression gradually became serious again, and he said, "Xiao Wu, I came to see you today because I have something else to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Wu frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
His eyes darkened, and Tang Hao's tone became extremely serious. He said, "As a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, you should understand that any Soul Master who has reached the level of a Titled Douluo will be able to detect that you are a soul beast through careful observation.
In half a year, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition will begin... If you continue to participate, your identity will definitely be exposed."
"But I have to go too! If I don't go, what will happen to the entire Shrek Academy? Won't all the years of hard work from the Master and Third Brother be wasted? I can sense that Third Brother really wants to shine in the Soul Master Competition, win the championship, and prove himself."
Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, and a determined and helpless light flashed in her eyes.
Having said that, she frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, and continued:
"Uncle, I remember when we met that Poison Douluo at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, how come he, as a Titled Douluo, didn't realize my identity?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao sighed deeply and said solemnly,
"That's because I was in the dark. I used my soul and mental strength to temporarily seal your aura, but this method is not a long-term solution. It can only hide it from low-level Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo. If the Titled Douluo's strength is higher than level 95, it will be impossible to hide it. Once you go to Spirit City to participate in the competition, it will be exposed sooner or later."
Xiao Wu shook her head, her eyes full of determination, and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, it's okay, I'm not afraid. Even if I have to die, I want to be with Third Brother. Besides, aren't you also a Titled Douluo? With you protecting us in secret, what is there to be afraid of?"
After hearing this, Tang Hao seemed to have received the most satisfactory answer. His expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded. He slowly said, "Well, if that's the case, then do as you wish. However, please don't tell Tang San about what happened today."
"Why can't I tell Third Brother?" Xiao Wu frowned doubtfully and asked.
Tang Hao's face was somewhat solemn as he explained in a low voice,
"Tang San places too much importance on relationships. If he knew about these things, he would probably rush to the Spirit Hall to seek revenge immediately. He would definitely not let you sacrifice yourself for him..."
Having said this, Tang Hao seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject, softening his tone and saying:
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please help me take good care of Tang San."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Tang Hao's purpose in coming here today was simply to confirm Xiao Wu's thoughts. If Xiao Wu's thoughts were different from his, and her identity was exposed, then he could only...
A huge silver moon hangs high in the sky.
The faint moonlight spread across the entire Heaven Dou City, covering it with a layer of silver gauze. Tang Chuan walked alone on the streets of Heaven Dou City, and the moonlight stretched his figure long and thin.
The street was quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently and his steady footsteps.
Suddenly, Tang Chuan paused and said in a low voice:
"Don't keep following me in the dark. Xue Qinghe isn't here."
As he finished speaking, a green figure flashed down from the high roof and landed steadily in front of him. It was the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo glanced at Tang Chuan, crossed his arms, and said unhappily, "Humph, if I hadn't promised to protect your safety, I wouldn't bother to follow you."
"Then can't you just follow me openly?" Frowning, Tang Chuan spread his hands and said speechlessly.
"You know my relationship with Prince Xue Xing. Do you think it's appropriate for me to follow you directly to see Xue Qinghe?" Dugu Bo said with a slightly gloomy face.
Tang Chuan smiled, shrugged helplessly, and said, "What's wrong with that? If that old fellow Prince Xue Xing asks, just say that you were asked to protect me."
"The affairs of the royal family are far more complicated than you think. You are still too young. Some things are not as simple as they seem. I have long discovered that there is something wrong with Xue Qinghe." Dugu Bo's face darkened, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.
"Many times, you have to look beyond the surface to see the real problem."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he was secretly surprised.
As a time traveler, he naturally knew that this Xue Qinghe was fake, but he didn't expect that Dugu Bo had already noticed some clues.
He did not delve into this issue any further, but simply said in a deep voice:
"Senior Dugu, I have a question in my mind that I want to ask you."
With his brows slightly furrowed and a scrutinizing look in his eyes, Dugu Bo asked, "What's the problem?"
Tang Chuan's face was slightly solemn. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "If one day Prince Xue Xing and I become enemies, who would you choose to help?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face changed slightly. He froze in place for a moment, clearly finding it difficult to speak. After a moment, he took a deep breath and slowly said,
"Prince Xue Xing saved my life, and I, Dugu Bo, always repay a favor. If you asked me to kill him, I couldn't do it. If he asked me to kill you, I couldn't do it either. All I can do is not help either side. However, if I must take sides, it would naturally be you."
"With your talent and strength, within twenty years, I believe no one in the entire Douluo Continent will be your opponent. If I had to choose someone, I would only choose you."
"It's just that I can't help you kill Prince Xue Xing."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan immediately laughed out loud, and said with a hint of pride:
"Hahaha! Senior Dugu, I just like your straightforward and honest character! Don't worry, I will never let you kill that old guy. If you really want to kill him, you probably won't even need to do it yourself."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, without saying anything more, frowning slightly. After a moment, he slowly said, "Boy, it's so late, where are we going next?"
Tang Chuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said calmly,
"Come on, come with me to the auction house in Heaven Dou City. I recently took some time to refine some medicinal pills. Let's see if we can sell them to make some money to build the Academy. After all, all the subsequent expenses of the Academy are quite a large sum."
Dugu Bo nodded, and then walked with Tang Chuan into the depths of the streets of Heaven Dou City. The moonlight shone on their backs, stretching their shadows into extremely long and slender shapes.
At the same time, at the gate of Shrek Academy.
It was learned that Tang San was ultimately unwilling to sell the method of making hidden weapons to Ning Fengzhi.
Bone Douluo's expression suddenly darkened. He raised his hand and grasped Tang San's neck tightly, exerting immense force. He lifted the latter up and shouted,
"What did you say? We're offering you information in exchange, and you won't sell it?"
Tang San struggled hard, his face flushed red, his breathing rapid, but his voice still held a stubbornness as he panted like an ox: "I can't possibly sell it! My teacher also knows about my father's affairs, he just doesn't want to tell me. Do you think such news is worth anything I have to pay for it?"
Hearing this, a flash of anger flashed in Bone Douluo's eyes, and he lowered his voice and threatened:
"Boy, don't force me. Don't think I really don't dare to kill you!"
