Chapter 165: Afraid of the Rat
"Master, wait for us!"
Hearing this cry, Yu Xiaogang stopped and turned.
He saw Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and Jian Douluo approaching them.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness!"
"Master, there's no need to be so formal."
Xue Qinghe then turned his gaze to Tang San, asking with concern, "Brother Tang, how are your injuries?"
Hearing this, Tang San bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! This minor injury is nothing serious for me!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Douluo's eyes flashed with disdain, and he glanced at him indifferently.
A useless man who had lost even his second brother, what was he still pretending to be?
However, it was this glance that caught him off guard.
"Tang San, has the poison in your body been eliminated?"
Jian Douluo's voice was particularly loud with surprise.
This exclamation also indirectly alerted Ning Fengzhi.
After all, he was still trying to get the recipe for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from Tang San!
However, now that Tang San could practice again, didn't that mean he had to temporarily abandon that idea?
After all, Tang San, with his boundless potential, was not to be trifled with.
If mishandled, it would sooner or later bring disaster upon the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
With this thought, Ning Fengzhi immediately collected his thoughts, cupped his fists, and smiled at Tang San, "Congratulations, nephew, on your new life!"
"No, no! This is all thanks to Teacher. If he hadn't found an old friend, I wouldn't have been able to completely eliminate the elixir poison!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked at Yu Xiaogang with suspicion, a lingering doubt rising in his heart: Could this loser really have such powerful connections? He even knew a healing spirit master who could eliminate elixir poison?
After all, he had never heard of a spirit master possessing such miraculous abilities.
Otherwise, the entire spirit master world would likely be swept up in a frenzy of elixir cultivation.
After all, who would sit there idly meditating and practicing when there were faster and better methods?
Then again, Yu Xiaogang was a ruthless young man who dared to pursue Bibi Dong.
Perhaps during this time, he also met some powerful spirit masters.
Ning Fengzhi, thinking of this, smiled faintly and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Master, you are truly powerful! You've even managed to befriend such a formidable healing spirit master!"
However, Yu Xiaogang seemed somewhat bewildered by the compliment.
In reality, the truth was far more complex.
But when he caught Tang San's cryptic glance, he immediately understood its deeper meaning.
So, he could only grit his teeth and respond, "What's that? Xiao San is my disciple after all! As a teacher, of course I have to consider him."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.
"However, although Tang San has recovered, we still can't let our guard down. The most urgent thing is to leave Spirit City as soon as possible. Otherwise, Bibi Dong will notice something is wrong and send someone to kill us!"
"That's right! But, are you guys going to leave with us?"
"Of course! The champion of the Spirit Master Competition is not one of ours. It's tiring to stay here and watch the Spirit Hall put on a show. It's better to leave early!"
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Ning Fengzhi and his group accompanying them, their safety was somewhat guaranteed!
"In that case, let's meet at the city gate!"
"Okay! It's just right, we also need to go back and pack our things."
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi and the other two turned and left.
After seeing them walk away, Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San in confusion: "Xiao San, why did you just push this onto me?"
Hearing his question, Tang San glanced around, and after finding no one paying attention, he whispered, "Teacher, in that situation just now, you couldn't have asked me to reveal the matter of the Divine Residence inheritance, right?"
"Well, that seems to be the case."
"And, I'm saying this not only to hide the matter of the Divine Residence inheritance, but also to elevate your importance in their hearts!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's interest piqued. "Oh, what's the matter?"
"Teacher, you see, now that we've lost the backing of the Titled Douluo, these forces will probably be eyeing us covetously, just as you said! Therefore, I had to invent an extraordinary healing spirit master to demonstrate the strength of your connections! Then, they'll be wary of you and won't dare to act rashly against us!"
After hearing Tang San's explanation, Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction.
"Xiao San, I'm very pleased that you thought of this!"
Hearing this, Tang San said modestly, "This is just a testament to Teacher's good teaching!"
After the master and disciple praised each other for a while, the previous annoyance was swept away.
Afterwards, after packing up their belongings, they dragged a group of wounded soldiers to the city gate to wait for Ning Fengzhi and his group.
Meanwhile, Yang Ziyuan was bidding his final farewell to Qian Renxue.
"Ziyuan, can you please not leave?"
Faced with Qian Renxue's coquettish and cute behavior, Yang Ziyuan felt helpless.
After all, he also had his Divine Exam to complete.
Furthermore, he also needed to take care of Yang Tianyu, and he simply couldn't spare the time!
"Xue'er, stop it! You know this is impossible. If I really stay, not only will it affect my Divine Exam, but you too!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of disappointment flashed across Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes, and her little head immediately drooped, looking pitiful.
However, she wasn't someone who didn't understand the situation.
She knew Yang Ziyuan was right.
If she stayed, it would be in neither of their interests.
With her around, she would never be able to focus on the Divine Exam.
Therefore, Yang Ziyuan's departure was inevitable!
Seeing her like this, Yang Ziyuan's heart softened. He quickly pulled her into his arms, comforting her, "Xue'er, don't be sad! This temporary separation is just for the sake of a better life for us in the future! When we become gods, I will take you on a journey through the world and make you the happiest girl in the world!"
Hearing his promise, Qian Renxue burst into laughter and said with a chuckle, "Okay! Then I'll wait for that day!"
With that, she raised her head and kissed Yang Ziyuan on the corner of his mouth, her pretty face blushing, as tempting as a ripe red apple.
In that moment, she truly wished she could stay in this moment forever, never to be separated again.
Unfortunately, it didn't happen as a cough shattered the warm scene.
"Ahem. Um, Xiaoyuan, come here."
Yang Ziyuan looked back and saw Qian Daoliu had arrived without him noticing.
Qian Renxue, caught in the act, immediately turned pale with shame and anger, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
