When Qian Yu stepped out of the room, the anxious supervisor hurried over and asked with an awkward smile, "Soul Mentor, may I ask how the negotiation went?"
Qian Yu glanced at him and casually said, "It went quite well, except that it was somewhat life-threatening."
The supervisor let out a sigh of relief but quickly became tense again, "That's good, that's good. Wait, life-threatening? Soul Mentor, what do you mean?"
Qian Yu didn't answer him and decisively turned to rush towards where Tang Wutong and the others were...
The supervisor, left standing there as Qian Yu departed, bit his lip and then cast a curious glance towards the room's door...
Unable to resist the itch of curiosity, he chose to push open the door and stepped inside...
"Honorable sirs, I have entered!"
Upon entering the room, he found it to be exceedingly dark with an onslaught of bloodstink invading his nostrils...
Realizing something, he hurriedly turned on the light...
As the scene before him became clear, he felt a surge of nausea welling up from the pit of his stomach...
At the same time, his eyes were mixed with a sense of disbelief and astonishment...
...
At this moment, lying next to Tang Wutong and the other two were over a dozen mangled bodies in white robes!
They were clearly the auction house people who had first intercepted them!
Xu Sanshi, holding his blood-dripping chest with a pale face, said, "Cough cough... These guys are no vegetarians, eh! If their soul power rank were a bit higher, we might've been finished here."
Each of these white-robed men had reached at least the Soul King level, but fortunately, none surpassed the Soul Emperor level!
Otherwise, with only the three of them, they couldn't have possibly dealt with so many Soul Masters.
Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes showed a touch of distress as she asked in concern, "Xu Sanshi, are you alright?"
If it weren't for the moment of crisis when Xu Sanshi swapped places with her and withstood the attack of these white-robed men, she probably would have died!
Xu Sanshi's lips curled up confidently, "Don't worry, Nannan, these attacks are nothing... Pfft!"
As he spoke, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his weak body falling backward...
Jiang Nannan quickly supported him...
Feeling that his breath was very stable and didn't exhibit any fatal injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief...
Tang Wutong, standing to the side with her pink-purple eyes, teased, "Sister Nannan, Senior Brother Xu is quite manly today!"
The moment he switched places with her, even she was impressed by Xu Sanshi's action...
Jiang Nannan's cheeks flushed with a hint of red, and in a soft voice, she scolded, "That Xu Sanshi... is such an idiot."
Shortly after, Qian Yu approached and glanced at the dozen bodies lying on the ground, then said to Tang Wutong and Jiang Nannan, who was supporting Xu Sanshi, "Wutong, Sister Nannan, are you both alright?"
Tang Wutong shook her head, looking towards Xu Sanshi who was being supported by Jiang Nannan, "Yeah! We're fine, but Senior Brother Xu was seriously injured while protecting Sister Nannan."
Jiang Nannan also inquired with concern, "Qian Yu, you're okay over there, right?"
Qian Yu smiled lightly, "Hmm, just dealt with a few minor henchmen."
Hearing Qian Yu say that, if Tang Wutong and Jiang Nannan truly believed him, that would show their naivety!
Qian Yu's so-called 'minor henchmen' equaled Soul Douluo, Titled Douluo, Hyper Douluo...
After saying this, Qian Yu's gaze turned to the "unconscious" Xu Sanshi, and his pale golden eyes sparkled with a few streaks of light...
Qian Yu pressed his thin lips together, speaking gravely, "Sister Nannan... I'm afraid Senior Brother Xu might not make it! The vitality within him is rapidly fading away!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan's eyes reddened slightly, "How can that be? Qian Yu, could you be mistaken? San Shi's breathing is very steady."
Tang Wutong's Beautiful Eyes also glanced at Xu Sanshi and then at Qian Yu, as if she understood something…
With a serious expression on her face, she said, "Nannan, a stable soul aura means his vitality is fading away, fluctuations in the aura indicate that he still has vitality…"
After she finished speaking, she felt a hint of guilt rising from the bottom of her heart…
However, the thought of Xu Sanshi using such a low tactic to gain sympathy filled her with anger…
Hearing Tang Wutong's words, Jiang Nannan's eyes lost focus as she murmured, "How could this happen… how could this be…"
A few clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes…
Qian Yu sighed, "Nannan, please restrain your grief. Letting Senior Brother Xu's vitality fade away will leave him in agonizing pain. Let me escort him on his last journey."
As he finished speaking, a terrifying Divine Power fluctuation burst forth from Qian Yu's body, with golden Soul Power converging in the palm of his hand…
He then slowly approached from behind Xu Sanshi, with power enough to obliterate him and unleashed it…
Feeling the heart-stopping attack drawing closer, Xu Sanshi's brow twitched, and he thought frantically, "Stop! Stop it! I'm… this guy is serious!!"
The next moment, he couldn't care less, swiftly dodging to the side as he glared at Qian Yu and cursed, "Fuck! Qian Yu, do you really want to kill me?"
But a second later, Xu Sanshi caught Tang Wutong's sympathetic gaze. He quickly looked at Jiang Nannan, who was clearly watching him…
Jiang Nannan wiped the tears from her eyes, and her face turned deathly cold as she decisively turned and walked away…
Xu Sanshi gave Tang Wutong and Qian Yu a glare and hurriedly chased after Jiang Nannan, raising his voice to explain, "Nannan! Nannan, listen to me! I did faint just now! I've only just woken up!"
If he didn't clear this up, all the goodwill he had built up could vanish overnight!
Qian Yu turned to Tang Wutong and extended his hand with a light smile, "Wutong, shall we go too?"
Tang Wutong took Qian Yu's hand tenderly and nodded, "Mhm."
…
Bei Bei, who was resting against the wall, felt several soul power fluctuations approaching and slowly opened his eyes…
He smiled warmly at Qian Yu and the others, "Back already? How did it go?"
Xu Sanshi nodded and said gloomily, "Don't mention it. Tonight, we almost got into big trouble at that auction. They even planned to use the three of us to threaten Qian Yu into making soul tools for them!"
Jiang Nannan, standing nearby with her arms folded, glanced at Xu Sanshi and then turned her head away…
Tang Wutong pouted and said, "That's right! I'm never going to one of those auctions again."
Qian Yu turned to Bei Bei and inquired, "Big Brother Bei, has Sister Tang Ya finished her class?"
Bei Bei nodded, "Yes! It's finished, she should be going over some hidden weapon precautions now."
A few minutes later, an exhausted-looking Tang Ya emerged from the classroom…
When Tang Ya saw that Bei Bei and the others were waiting for her, she asked in surprise, "Eh, are you all waiting for me?"
"Sister Tang Ya is truly dedicated! You look quite haggard!"
Tang Ya clenched her fist, filled with determination, "I have no choice; these children are the first disciples of the Tang Sect, and they must be well taught!"
Qian Yu took out a square box from his storage soul tool and handed it to Tang Ya…
With a smile, he said, "Sister Tang Ya, this is something we got at the auction…"
Tang Ya accepted the square box with a smile, "I didn't expect you to even bring me a gift, Qian Yu, you're so thoughtful."
But when she opened the box, her eyes widened in shock, "This… this is… a Peacock feather???"
…
