Chapter 158 Blue Tyrant Academy Renaming_1

"Then you must be very careful."

Qin Xiao didn't insist on taking Liu Erlong with him for Soul Hunting.

Because he knew Liu Erlong was not the kind to depend on others, and she had her own opinions on handling matters.

"Don't worry when I handle things."

Liu Erlong nodded emphatically.

"Right, there are two more things you need to be wary of."

Qin Xiao said, his expression growing serious,

Liu Erlong, upon hearing this, also sobered up, "What is it? Tell me, I'll remember."

"The first thing is to be wary of the Xingluo Empire. They failed to achieve their goal last time and might persist in finding another opportunity to act against us."

"The second thing is to be cautious about the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan. Yu Yuanzhen's attempt on your life already showed strong intent to kill, and he even considered not sparing you. Although Yu Yuanzhen is dead now, I'm not sure if they will, like the Xingluo Empire, act against me through you."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that my body has some issues now, and I can't exhibit the peak of my Cultivation Level. Otherwise, I would have already struck down the Xingluo Empire and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan."

"However, once I return, I will surely settle the scores with them. If there's one to be accounted for, not one will be spared."

After listening to Qin Xiao's words, Liu Erlong nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

While speaking, she took Qin Xiao's hand in hers, "You go with peace of mind, I'll wait for your return."

At this moment, she showed a rare tenderness.

Only...

Qin Xiao slightly frowned.

Why did that sound like she was 'sending him off'?

A night of passion.

When Qin Xiao woke up, Liu Erlong's figure was gone from his side.

By the simple wooden bed, there was a message left by Liu Erlong.

It simply read: I don't like farewells, so I'll wait for you at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"I never expected her to be so emotional..."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, then got up.

As he stepped out of the room, several people were already waiting for him.

Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan all stood neatly outside the door.

Only...

They all seemed off somehow.

All of them had significant dark circles under their eyes, and Ning Rongrong's eyes were even red.

Qin Xiao furrowed his brows and asked, "What were you all doing last night?"

"Nothin', just sleeping."

"Just couldn't sleep with some things on my mind."

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, making insincere remarks.

Suddenly.

Qin Xiao had a realization; he remembered what Liu Erlong had said before: the rooms here were not soundproof.

"I now strongly suspect that the reason Liu Erlong left early is because she'd be too embarrassed to see people the next morning, right?"

He mumbled to himself.

"Your Highness, where's President Liu?"

Dugu Yan asked curiously.

She wanted to know if Liu Erlong could walk out on her own after last night's 'battle.'

"Yanyan, you don't know, President Liu has already left."

"This morning I saw her leaning on the door as she came out. Even when she greeted me, her voice was hoarse."

Ning Rongrong answered.

Dugu Yan: "...."

Her gaze toward Qin Xiao began to change.

Your Highness is simply inhuman.

Calling him Qin Xiao seems less fitting than beast....

"Let's go, let's go, no more gossiping. Let's set off now."

Even Qin Xiao couldn't help but blush after hearing Ning Rongrong's words.

He hastily urged everyone to leave, leading the way out.

The others followed close behind.

But...

As Qin Xiao and the others were about to depart, he turned and shouted toward the stone cave where Du Gu Bo resided, "Du Gu Bo, I'm leaving. I'll leave the house in your care."

Elsewhere.

Du Gu Bo was actually standing at the entrance of the cave, sideways, allowing his line of sight to just catch Dugu Yan and the departing figures of Qin Xiao and the others.

When Qin Xiao's voice reached him, he smiled slightly, "Home, that word does have a nice ring to it."

But...

The more he pondered it, the more he felt something was amiss.

"Look after the house, look after the house?"

"Why do I feel like he's calling me a dog?"

Instantly, he got angry, shouting outside, "You little rascal, you'll regret this when you come back."

Only...

His shout echoed away, but nobody was there to hear it anymore.

The Icefire Polarized Eyes, nowhere could the figures of Qin Xiao and the others be seen.

"Well, it's a good thing they've gone far enough..."

Conversely, Du Gu Bo, seeing no response for a while, let out a long sigh of relief.

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, seven days hurried by.

When Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flander returned from Soul Hunting in the Aquipeia Forest, the rotund Shao Xin trotted up to meet them.

Zhao Wuji grinned and joked, "Old Shao, what's up? Get chased by a dog?"

"Just you talk too much."

"Humph, without your chatter, no one would mistake you for a mute."

Shao Xin glanced at Zhao Wuji, huffing in annoyance, "President Liu, the Tyrant Dragon Family has come again."

"The Tyrant Dragon Family?"

Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flander's faces all shifted simultaneously.

Especially Liu Erlong, recalling the words Qin Xiao had left with her before departing, felt an ominous premonition.

Trouble has come calling!

However, she wasn't too panicked; her formidable strength gave her confidence.

You should know, on this trip to the Aquipeia Forest, her strength had increased tremendously.

Not to mention gaining the eighth soul ring, her Soul Power had even reached level eighty-six.

Now, Liu Erlong was confident that with the power of four crowns of the True Dragon Nine Crowns activated, she could battle a Titled Douluo.

"Old Shao, how many people from the Tyrant Dragon Family have come, and do you recognize any of them? Who are they?"

At the side, Flander asked calmly.
