Chapter 68 Tang Hao Enters Tiandou (4000)_2

Three hours...

The sky gradually darkened, and so did the expression on Liu Erlong's face.

"Has it gotten dark already?"

"Is this even human?"

Creak.

After a long while, the door finally opened.

Qin Xiao walked out.

"Is she, okay?"

Liu Erlong asked with some sympathy.

She could hardly imagine what the girl in the room had endured.

Qin Xiao said, "She's exhausted to the point of collapse and has fallen asleep."

"This thing you're doing, it could harm her."

Liu Erlong pondered for a moment before mustering the courage to say this seriously.

As a woman, she felt it was necessary to address this matter.

Hearing this, Qin Xiao frowned, "President Liu, are you questioning my skills again?"

Skills? Liu Erlong was taken aback, then said sternly, "No matter how good the skills, problems can arise if it goes on for too long."

"Heh, then you're mistaken, not only are there no problems, but it's also greatly beneficial for her!"

What kind of joke is this? Of course, Liu Erlong didn't believe what Qin Xiao said, "That's impossible."

"How would you know it's impossible if you've never experienced it yourself?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said irritably.

Thump thump thump...

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Liu Erlong staggered back several steps as if struck by lightning.

Qin Xiao's words threw her into complete disarray!

"Qin Xiao, is this you opening up and giving me a hint?"

"But, I'm totally unprepared for this."

Liu Erlong had indeed dressed up this way intending to speak to Qin Xiao again.

Previously, when Qin Xiao asked what she could offer, Liu Erlong thought she could agree as long as it didn't cross her boundaries.

But, to her astonishment, Qin Xiao was wildly probing her boundaries.

"You, you..."

Liu Erlong thought for a long time, but she had no idea what to say.

Qin Xiao just saw her stamp her foot in frustration and then turn and run.

"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Xiao was perplexed.

...

"It's gotten dark, and Er Long still hasn't returned..."

Elsewhere, in the small woods, Flander's face darkened along with the sky.

His mood was starting to deteriorate.

"Teacher, don't worry, could it be possible that President Liu and Qin Xiao have been enjoying their conversation so much that they lost track of time?"

Ma Hongjun ventured his guess.

"That I would believe in normal times, but as you said, Er Long is dressed in battle gear; do you think I can believe that?"

Flander looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "Besides, you don't know about Er Long's feelings for Yu Xiaogang, she... she's capable of anything."

With that, his heart was filled with bitterness.

Er Long, Er Long, why can't we try to solve problems together? Why must you take this path of no return? Yu Xiaogang really isn't worth you treating him like this.

The more Flander thought, the more resentment he felt.

He didn't hate Qin Xiao, he didn't hate Liu Erlong, he only hated Yu Xiaogang.

If not for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, why would Liu Erlong go to Qin Xiao?

"President, you must be strong!"

At that moment, Zhao Wuji's large hand landed on Flander's shoulder.

His eyes were filled with sympathy as he looked at Flander.

There was even a sense of empathy between them.

As for Flander, thinking about Dai Mubai's circumstances, he indeed felt much better.

This guy is having an even tougher time than me.

"Let's go, let's drown our sorrows in Tiandou City tonight, my treat."

After saying this, Flander walked out of the academy with a dejected spirit.

Time flies, and three days passed in a hurry.

Qin Xiao was quite surprised at how unusually peaceful these days had been.

Inside the Tiandou royal household, no news came from Xue Qinghe. Xue Xing and Avalanche didn't try to woo him again. Liu Erlong seemed to have abandoned the idea of helping Yu Xiaogang.

Even Flander was someone Qin Xiao hadn't seen for three days.

Only Zhao Wuji had informed Qin Xiao that Flander hadn't been back for three days.

But he seemed to be living it up.

Qin Xiao was surprised. Could Flander have suddenly seen the light and decided not to hang himself on one tree anymore?

But what on earth happened that led to such a significant change?

...

"Dad, is this Tiandou City?"

"Indeed, it's huge. Compared to Soto City...."

Elsewhere, outside Tiandou City, Tang San tasted the words as he gazed at the grandeur of Tiandou City, "Forget it, there's simply no comparison."

"Hahaha, it seems I made the right decision bringing you to Tiandou City. Only by broadening your horizons can you embrace the world."

Tang Hao laughed heartily beside Tang San, "When we get the chance in the future, I'll take you to Spirit City, now that's truly magnificent."

"Really?"

Tang San's eyes lit up.

"Is there any doubt?"

Tang Hao said, ruffling Tang San's hair, and added, "But remember, Xiaosan, no matter whether it's Tiandou City or Spirit City, they are far less imposing than the gates of our Hao Tian Clan."

Upon hearing this, Tang San was filled with boundless longing, "I wonder if we'll ever return to our sect."

He was eager to see just what the Number One Sect in the world, the Hao Tian Clan, was like. How it compared to Tang Sect from his previous life, who was the stronger and who was the weaker!

"Don't worry, there'll definitely be a chance to return to the sect," Tang Hao said with a resounding voice. "You're a genius with Twin Martial Souls, your future is limitless. The Elders of the Hao Tian Clan might be conservative, but they understand the value of Twin Martial Souls.

In the future, when you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the sect, they certainly won't refuse."

Hearing this, Tang San paused and then asked, "What about you, Dad?"

"Me?"

Tang Hao chuckled, "After you return to the sect, you'll undoubtedly become the main pillar within the sect, and even inheriting the position of Sect Master may not be impossible. Whether or not I can return to the Hao Tian Clan is purely up to your will...."

"Of course, it might not be long before those Elders even come to my door to plead for my return to the sect."

Tang San was moved by this thought, "Could it be because of Uncle's incident?"

"Exactly."

Tang Hao nodded, "Without big brother, there are still several Elders in the sect at the Titled Douluo Level, but they're old after all. They have almost exhausted their potential in becoming Titled Douluo, and even if they progress, they won't get much further.

But I'm different, I'm still young, and my future achievements will not end here. If they don't ask me to take charge, who else will they ask?"

Hearing this, Tang San's eyes shone brightly, "Dad, in that case according to what you're saying, there shouldn't be any problems at all. As long as the Elders of the Hao Tian Clan are not foolish, they should know what kind of a choice to make."

"Hahaha."

Tang Hao couldn't help but laugh loudly.

At this moment, he even felt that Tang Xiao's death was not such a bad thing for him after all.

"Let's go, follow me into the city."

Tang Hao said, extending his hand and leading Tang San toward Tiandou City.

...

A long while later.

Within Tiandou City, Tang Hao and Tang San stood outside the residence of the Clan of Strength.

"What's going on? Could someone have died?"

Thinking this, Tang Hao immediately felt a surge of bad premonition.

"Eh, the customs here in Tiandou City are really strange. To hang two such huge white lanterns at the front door of a residence...."

Tang San said, looking perplexed after observing for a while.

Tang Hao's face changed, and he sternly retorted, "Xiaosan, don't speak nonsense. This is not any custom. It means someone inside the residence has passed away, and it seems to be a very important person at that."

"What? Someone has passed away?"

Tang San's heart stirred, and he asked, "Dad, the person who died isn't Titan, is it?"

"Haha, of course not. Titan is powerful. How could he just die like that?"

Tang Hao shook his head with a wry smile, "Titan may have a hot temper, but he's an eighty-sixth level Soul Douluo. He can even hold his own against a Titled Douluo for a while.

Not to mention his strength, the most important thing is his background in the Hao Tian Clan. Even a true Titled Douluo would need to weigh their options before plotting against Titan."

"Let's go. I'll take you up front to ask."

Tang Hao said, pulling Tang San along.

Knock knock knock...

Gentle rapping on the door knocker.

"Who is it?"

Tang San and Tang Hao could both hear someone inside the house.

Creak...

The heavy door was pushed open, and the smell of decay filled the air.

The person in white was an elder.

He was the Steward of the residence.

He asked in puzzlement, "May I know if you're also here to attend the remembrance..."

Honestly, he was also surprised.

The Clan of Strength had a known reputation.

But whether it was the young masters bullying men and domineering over women, or the old master shaming himself by persecuting his juniors, nothing good was ever said.

Thus, they had very few friends.

The sudden appearance of two people here was surprisingly good news for him.

Tang Hao frowned, "We won't be going in. Just ask Titan to come out."

In truth, he was quite displeased.

The master had arrived, and they did not come out to welcome him?

Had they forgotten all decorum?
