The next day, the sun rose from the east, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at dawn was a mess.
The surrounding area, originally full of medicinal herbs, looked as if it had been plowed by tens of thousands of Spirit Beasts, with not a blade of grass growing and potholes everywhere.
And this place was now empty.
When Lin Ye exited his meditation state, he saw Ning Rongrong skipping towards him.
"Zhuqing, stop cultivating! Tang San is back. He wants us to go to Erlong Teacher's previous residence. He said he has a gift for us!"
Ning Rongrong said, then stepped forward and pulled Lin Ye away from the Mimetic Cultivation Field.
What she didn't notice was a subtle glint flashing in her good friend's eyes.
Tang San, oh Tang San, you're finally here. You've made me wait so long.
On the other side, Dugu Bo was diligently rushing towards Star Luo City.
Dugu Bo felt like he was being led by the nose, but for the safety of his granddaughter, he couldn't care less. At this moment, he was rushing non-stop towards the Star Luo Empire.
Soon after, Lin Ye and Ning Rongrong arrived at a simple dwelling, a crude thatched hut built from wooden planks and thatch.
Around the hut, various flowers were planted, colorful and competing for beauty.
The outermost part was surrounded by a fence, and at a glance, it was no different from an ordinary farmhouse.
The farmhouse was located within the forest of the Shrek Academy campus, with a gurgling stream nearby, dense trees, and winding paths leading to secluded spots.
This place was originally the residence of Liu Erlong, the former dean of Lanba Academy.
After the Shrek group arrived, Liu Erlong moved to the teachers' dormitory building, solely to be closer to Yu Xiaogang, her beloved senior cousin and the moonlight in her heart.
Now, this place was vacant, perfect for some illicit activities.
Just by approaching the courtyard, Lin Ye heard Dai Mubai's booming voice.
"Little San, you're finally back! You don't know, Xiao Wu has been talking about you every day!
Fatty said you brought us gifts and can even help me break through my bottleneck. Hurry up and take them out!"
Entering the courtyard, Lin Ye saw Dai Mubai intimately embracing Tang San's shoulder, while Tang San playfully punched Dai Mubai's chest with his small fist.
Truly, brotherly affection that moves heaven and earth!
After Lin Ye and Ning Rongrong arrived, they greeted Tang San but completely ignored Dai Mubai.
The latter's gaze immediately turned cold when he saw Lin Ye.
This was Lin Ye's first meeting with Tang San, the Son of Fortune of the Douluo Continent.
In terms of appearance, he was very ordinary. While Canghui Academy saying Tang San was the ugliest among Shrek was a joke, it was also a fact.
Looking at Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, with his buzz cut, plain long robe, and greasy old face.
They truly are master and disciple; these two guys' looks are truly abysmal. Lin Ye would call them the DouluoAppearance sewer .
It's no wonder Lin Ye thought this way; as the sages say, one's three views follow one's five senses.
Furthermore, Lin Ye and these guys were naturally at odds, so he found them displeasing no matter how he looked at them, a case of hating the crow for its blackness.
Lin Ye's gaze swept over Tang San's waist. He noticed a blue leather pouch hanging from Tang San's waist, only about the size of two adult palms.
This was the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. Immortal Herb, I finally waited for this day.
Lin Ye was a little excited, but outwardly, he remained unperturbed, maintaining Zhu Zhuqing's characteristic cold demeanor.
Just a little longer, Tang San is still very perceptive.
At this critical moment, Lin Ye behaved very cautiously. Tang San, who cultivated martial arts like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, was still very difficult to deal with.
Over long distances, with Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Civet speed, Lin Ye could make Tang San unable to even see his tail.
After all, in these past few months, Zhu Zhuqing had already broken through to Spirit Elder and gained her third spirit ring.
But for close-range reaction speed, Lin Ye truly didn't have much confidence, especially since Tang San's attention was currently on Lin Ye and the others.
Zhu Zhuqing also sensed Lin Ye's abnormal state and turned her attention to Tang San and the others, wanting to see what this guy was going to do.
Looking at Dai Mubai, who was as eager as if he were entering a bridal chamber, Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush, let's go to a quiet place first."
With that, Tang San led the way into the thatched hut.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Lin Ye, and the others entered the room together.
Yu Xiaogang said solemnly, "Begin. I will guard you."
Tang San nodded, taking the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse from his waist…
At the same time, seeing Tang San's mysterious demeanor, the others also turned their gaze to the blue leather pouch in his hand, their faces full of curiosity.
Lin Ye was naturally no exception. Just as Tang San's gaze turned to the Hundred Treasure Purse in his hand, and his other hand reached for the opening of the Hundred Treasure Purse, Lin Ye instantly erupted.
He shot out a hand, snatching the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse with lightning speed.
Then, as he rapidly retreated, he flung his other hand in the air.
Immediately, a cloud of powder dispersed within the room.
And Lin Ye had already fled out the door.
First Spirit Ability, Hell Rush Stab!
Fearing that delay would bring complications, Lin Ye even activated Zhu Zhuqing's Spirit Ability to increase his speed.
His agile figure moved rapidly, leaving trails of afterimages, and in a few breaths, he disappeared into the forest.
Only after Lin Ye had completely vanished did Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others slowly rush out of the room.
At this moment, the Shrek group appeared quite disheveled, with swollen red eyes and runny noses and tears.
Their faces were covered in lime powder, which, under the effect of their snot and tears, formed some brownish mixture.
For this day, Lin Ye had been preparing for several months, and he didn't even know how many times he had rehearsed it in his mind.
The lime powder was even mixed with chili powder, cumin powder, and various other irritating powders.
Tang San, as the primary target, was naturally given special attention.
At this moment, Tang San's tears were like a floodgate opening, gushing endlessly. Anyone who didn't know would think his parents had died and he was wailing.
And the others weren't much better off.
However, everyone at this point was somewhat incredulous. Out of nowhere, why would Zhu Zhuqing snatch Tang San's things?
And it seemed to have been premeditated.
The crowd couldn't figure out why Zhu Zhuqing would do such a thing. Even Tang San was caught off guard; he had never imagined Zhu Zhuqing would make a move to snatch something.
He had never doubted the Shrek Seven Devils. Besides, they didn't know what was inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Their confusion remained, but their anger was not diminished in the slightest.
"Zhuqing, you deserve to die!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, as if they could spew flames of fury.
Immediately after, his icy gaze turned to Dai Mubai.
Given the relationship between these two, perhaps this guy would know something.
"Little San, I don't know why Zhuqing would do this."
Upon encountering Tang San's ferocious expression, Dai Mubai waved his hands repeatedly in fright, hastily explaining and trying to clear his name.
"Oh? You two are lovers, and you wouldn't know?"
Tang San's voice was like ice, as he approached Dai Mubai step by step, the Hidden Weapons on his arm, the sleeve darts, poised and ready to launch.
