Chapter 237 Old-eyed and dim-witted Yu Xiaogang

A few days later, Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.

"Your Holiness, I'm afraid that Tang Hao father and son have already succeeded in entering the Killing City." Ghost Douluo bowed and reported.

"The scouts found two pairs of footprints along a section of the path, and it was determined that they came from two adult men, and were most likely left by none other than Tang Hao father and son."

"Can you find out from where they entered?" Bibi Dong asked with a frown.

"Not yet ascertained, the two men bypassed the path, and the subsequent traces were probably cleared." Ghost Douluo responded.

"Command that the scouts be withdrawn for the time being. After a year, increase the number of people and completely block the outer perimeter of the Killing City." Bibi Dong immediately said.

It wasn't that easy to come out of the Killing City. With her experience, it was almost impossible to do without two or three years.

However, as a precaution, it was still necessary to prepare in advance.

Unfortunately, the situation in the Killing City was complicated, and there was a Slaughter King who would most likely step in to stir up trouble if a battle occurred. Not to mention that she still had to deal with Martial Spirit Hall matters and had no time to spare, otherwise she would have personally made a trip to at least get rid of Tang San.

"Yes." Ghost Douluo nodded and turned to leave.

Only then did Bibi Dong lean her back against the throne, her fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the throne, faking sleep and pondering.

'Nearly two years should be enough time for me to adjust my state and impact that stage once more. If this impact doesn't work out, I'll have to wait for the dust to settle to gather my battle strength and go to the Extreme North to replenish my spirit rings before trying again.'

'Two spirit rings of more than 100,000 years old will surely help me to complete that step.'

'As for now, it's temporarily impractical to free up manpower, and it would not be conducive to the plan if I were to lose my battle forces in the Extreme North.'

***

Skywalker Academy, inside the courtyard, Lin Manshan reached out to catch the bird flying down.

'After the second awakening of the Martial Soul, he has become quite handsome. By using the energy shared by countless blue silver grasses to prompt the awakening of the bloodline, he was also able to condense a spirit ring and enhance his cultivation,' As if he thought of something, Lin Manshan raised his eyebrows, "Then why did Tang Hao plant Ah Yin in a dark and sunless stone cave back then, instead of directly sending her to the side of Blue Silver King, who was surrounded by a large amount of blue silver grasses to let her grow?"

'With countless subjects sharing their energy, Ah Yin's growth and recovery speed would be absolutely terrifying. Perhaps, after more than ten years, she would have already recovered to her peak cultivation during her human days and transformed into a human again. In the original story, Ah Yin was able to break through level 70 in cultivation and take human form again in a short period of time by gathering the energy shared out by countless Blue Silver Grasses in the Sunset Forest and injecting it into her body with Tang San's help.'

'It should be unlikely that Tang Hao, who has been living with Ah Yin for many years, doesn't know about this. He is someone who even knows the highest secret of the Blue Silver Domain, and he knows clearly the way for Tang San to obtain the fifth spirit ring, or else he wouldn't have specifically brought Tang San to find the Blue Silver King.'

'There are really a lot of loopholes here, it's even possible to say that it's Tang Hao's intention. For example, worrying that after the Blue Silver King and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass send their energy to Ah Yin constantly to promote growth, there won't be any extra energy to help Tang San with the second awakening of his martial soul.'

"If that's the case, then Tang Hao is really..." Smashing his tongue, Lin Manshan released the sparrow and turned around to go back to the house.

'It's better not to convey Tang Hao's entry into the Killing City to Bibi Dong... If Tang Hao is killed by the Martial Spirit Hall, then the spirit bones won't have anything to do with me.'

'And with Tang Hao's current injuries, I'm afraid he'll have to find a way to release the clotted blood when he comes out of the Killing City.'

'In addition, Tang San actually wants to kill the Blue Silver King, so I can't let him get there first. However, it seems to be fine, when Tang Hao dies, Tang San can't defeat it alone. As for the Clear Sky Clan, they can't help right now.'

'There's also the inner dan of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, that thing isn't suitable for Tang San, so I'm sure he'll keep it with him for a while.'

Between his thoughts, he returned to his bedroom bed and cultivated with his knees crossed.

A few months later, it was New Year.

Shrek Academy's back mountain.

Flender rushed to Yu Xiaogang's residence with supplies, and lightly shouted from afar, "Xiaogang, Erlong, I'm coming."

In a short while, the door was opened, and Liu Erlong stepped out with large strides, greeting him with a smile, "Boss Flender, Happy New Year."

"Hehehe, all is well, all is well. This time, I've bought quite a few good things, so I've come to pay my best wishes to you guys." Flanders laughed.

Saying that he followed Liu Erlong into the wooden house and swept a glance at Yu Xiaogang sitting by the fireplace.

Winter was humid and cold, now that Yu Xiaogang had no spirit power to protect his body and his body was weak, he was unable to withstand the cold and could only rely on the fireplace to keep warm. At this time, his body was wrapped in a blanket, lying half on the reclining chair, looking like a dying old man.   

"Xiaogang." Flender smiled and walked up to greet him.

"Hm." Yu Xiaogang softly hummed and slightly nodded, "Sit down."

Flender swept a glance around the room and smiled, "I brought quite a few things with me this time, so it's better to find a place to put them down first."

Liu Erlong answered, "Boss Flender, I'll take you to one of the side rooms, there's plenty of space there."

"Good." Flender nodded.

With a goodbye, Flender followed Liu Erlong and entered the side room, pulling things out of the spirit tool one by one.

"So many things?" Liu Erlong looked surprised.

"It's not just for the New Year. The weather is getting colder, so I prepared more this time." Flender laughed.

"Then let me help you." Liu Erlong immediately rolled up her sleeves to help carry the things.

With the two of them working in unison, the things were arranged neatly, and only then did Liu Erlong straighten up and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This organizing things really feels more tiring than fighting."

Right at this moment, with a snap, a piece of dusty debris suddenly fell from overhead.

Flender, who had just straightened up, subconsciously reached out to catch it, "Careful." Blocking it in a position near the top of her head.

"You!?" Feeling that the two had stayed in the room for a bit too long and were still talking and laughing, Yu Xiaogang, who was a bit sceptical in his heart, happened to walk up to the door and saw this scene. The wood shavings hit the back of Flender's hand and bounced off, but the dust was lying on the back of the hand and also scattered on Liu Erlong's hair, Liu Erlong could already smell the dust. But nowadays, Yu Xiaogang's old eyes were too dim to see this, all he could see was Flender's hand on Liu Erlong's head, the kind of posture of affectionately touching her head.

"You guys..."

His body trembled instantly, and his right hand was raised tremblingly with an expression of deep humiliation.

"Xiaogang, you've misunderstood. I'm just helping Erlong block the falling wood shavings and dust" Flender hurriedly pulled back his hand to explain.

On the side, Liu Erlong turned her head sharply, her eyes red with a touch of moisture, and she gritted her teeth, "You suspect me?!"

"Me!" Yu Xiaogang immediately froze, stammering for words.

Liu Erlong, however, had tears leaving her eyes, "For you, I waited 20 years. For you, I went to beg Lin Manshan in a demeaning manner. After returning here, your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by me, meals are made by me, and clothes are washed by me, I have given all I have, but you still have no faith in me. You would rather believe that Tang San who is not even willing to bleed a bowl of blood to save you"

Tears flowed like a broken embankment, and Liu Erlong's tearful eyes brimmed with grievances as she recounted her complaints.

"No, that's not true, Xiao San must have his own difficulties" Yu Xiaogang almost subconsciously blurted out.

"You!" Liu Erlong's body trembled all of a sudden, her face flushed red, "Up until now, your eyes are still only focused on that so-called disciple of yours."

"You don't have me in your eyes at all!" She almost hysterically roared out, then slammed the door and walked out.

"This," Flender, who was frozen in place, glanced at Yu Xiaogang with a complicated expression and approached with quick steps, "Xiaogang, calm down first, don't get agitated. I will go and persuade her." After saying that, he quickly walked towards the door.

Yu Xiaogang's face still maintained the dumbfounded expression that he had shown after being yelled at by Liu Erlong, and he walked back to his seat woodenly step by step.

At this moment, he really wanted to run, and in his heart, he had absolutely no idea how to face Liu Erlong who would return later.

But in his current physical condition, where could he run to?

This place is now the only place where he can guarantee his personal safety and survival until his disciple Tang San comes back to find him.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Erlong returned alone, with an expressionless face and red eyes.

"I'll move out when Boss Flender arranges for someone to take care of you." Leaving behind these words, she walked straight up to the second floor.

Yu Xiaogang's expression froze.
