Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, six years had gone by.
Soto City.
"Brother Qian Renchuan, look, that shop is so strange," Xiao Wu said curiously, pointing at a dilapidated shop. The sign above it was chipped, and there were no words on it, but it had a circular marking with elements like a sword, a mammoth, and a hammer.
It looked similar to the Elder's Order issued by the Martial Soul Hall. The shop was dark inside, with no lights on, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Should we go check it out?"
Qian Renchuan looked at the run-down shop, feeling like something was waiting for him inside. Just as he was about to enter, he saw Tang San had already rushed ahead of him.
"What's the rush, Little San?"
Xiao Wu frowned at Tang San, who had rushed inside. She didn't like this tail at all; he was ruining her alone time with Qian Renchuan.
"Hey, why bother with him? Let's go in and see what's up."
Qian Renchuan's eyes flickered. He knew Tang San was special and that his skills with hidden weapons were not inferior to his own.
He figured they probably came from the same world. What annoyed him was that this kid seemed interested in Xiao Wu, which made him uneasy.
Moreover, Tang San had a clear hostility towards the Martial Soul Hall, which made Qian Renchuan think this person was already on a path to destruction.
The Martial Soul Hall was his territory, his future domain. Even if this useless guy came from the same world, Qian Renchuan would make sure to crush him.
However, he didn't plan to rely on his elders. He wanted to humiliate Tang San, who came from the same place, and make him regret ever opposing the Martial Soul Hall. He would make his life a living hell.
As soon as they entered, it was pitch black inside. Tang San, relying on his memory, quickly located the Hair Crystal containing the Dragon Whisker Needle.
"How much for this Hair Crystal, boss?"
Looking at Flender, who was wearing glasses, had a hooked nose, and looked like a shrewd merchant, Tang San felt a sense of familiarity. My companions from Shrek, we'll be seeing each other soon.
"One hundred Gold Soul Coins."
Flender raised his head, glanced at the three of them, and said casually.
"One thousand Gold Soul Coins, I'll take it."
Qian Renchuan possessed the Angelic Eye, so he could naturally see what was contained within the Hair Crystal. It was a piece of plate crystal, containing a large amount of plate crystal hair gold, which could be used to forge the Tang Sect's eighth-ranked hidden weapon, the Dragon Whisker Needle.
"Yinchuan, you!"
Tang San ground his teeth, glaring at Qian Renchuan, who was bidding. If it weren't for Qian Renchuan being there, Xiao Wu would have been with him already.
That hateful Qian Renchuan, he truly deserved to die. When I become a god in the future, the first thing I'll do is make you wish you were dead.
"Cough cough, this is acceptable, but you need to pay first."
Hearing the price of one thousand Gold Soul Coins, Flender's eyes lit up. He immediately took the Hair Crystal from Tang San's hand and asked, "Customer, are you going to raise the price? If not, this Hair Crystal belongs to this guest."
"Principal Flender, you already agreed to sell it to me, how can you go back on your word?"
Tang San suppressed the rage in his heart. Although he knew Flender was somewhat greedy, to the point where he was taking advantage of him, it was too much.
"You know me?"
Flender looked at Tang San in surprise, thinking that his Shrek Academy had already spread so far that even people from other places knew about it.
"I know them. The Flying Horn of the Golden Triangle, and the Four-Eyed Owl Cat, Flender. My teacher is the Wisdom Horn; he's an old friend of yours, Headmaster."
Tang San brought up his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.
"You're actually Xiaogang's disciple." Flender looked at Tang San, sighed, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia, mixed with a hint of regret.
He was quite the old lickspittle, pushing his rival towards the woman he liked, giving up step by step.
If Qian Xunfeng were here, he'd definitely let this old lickspittle see how Liu Erlong had dumped him.
"Well, since you're Xiaogang's disciple, I'll give you this Hair Crystal."
After all, it was an old friend he hadn't seen in years, and since his disciple was here, Yu Xiaogang, as the teacher, would naturally not be far behind.
This Tang San actually had some brains, no longer just raging and spreading the path to death; he directly used his teacher to establish a connection with Flender.
"Alright."
Qian Renchuan said indifferently, appearing very magnanimous. In his heart, he was scheming to have his two uncles, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, help him destroy this Hair Crystal.
After all, if he couldn't have it, then no one else would. This was what his father had told him. In his opinion, his father's teachings were never wrong.
In the future, as the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, he certainly couldn't be a simple, promise-keeping, honest person. He needed to be flexible with his bottom line.
"Let's go, Xiao Wu. Let's book a room first. We can spend these next few days exploring Soto City."
"Okay! Let's go, Brother Chuan."
Xiao Wu, hearing that they could play, hugged Qian Renchuan's arm and hummed a little tune. Her two rabbit ears bounced up and down. Ignoring Tang San, she pulled Qian Renchuan away.
"Xiao Wu!"
Watching Xiao Wu's retreating figure, Tang San was heartbroken and filled with sorrow. His hundred-thousand-year soul ring seemed to be drifting further and further away from him.
"I will definitely win Xiao Wu back."
As if sensing the somewhat grimace on Tang San's face, Flender looked at the place where Xiao Wu and the others had left, and suddenly found Tang San more agreeable.
He's worthy of being Xiaogang's disciple, their experiences are quite similar.
However, to prevent Tang San from wasting Yu Xiaogang's careful guidance, Flender spoke earnestly, "Tang San, right? You're Xiaogang's disciple, so I'll call you Xiao San."
"Xiao San, you have an unlimited future ahead of you. Don't get bogged down by one woman. You should focus on cultivation. When the time comes, I believe that girl will change her mind."
Looking at Flender, who was advising him, Tang San muttered to himself, Even Yu Xiaogang, that useless piece of trash, could get the woman he secretly loved. What do you, a lickspittle, know? I truly love Xiao Wu.
"I understand, Headmaster Flender."
But Xiao Wu was really ignoring him now, which made Tang San feel a little disheartened. Fortunately, his daddy, Ritian Douluo, was nearby. He believed his daddy wouldn't let a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast escape.
"Hmm, it's good that you understand. Xiaogang wants you to join Shrek Academy, right?"
Seeing Tang San quickly emerge from his sadness, Flender smiled with satisfaction, adjusted his round glasses, and asked.
"Yes, I'm here to join Shrek Academy."
The thought of joining Shrek Academy soon and meeting his companions from his previous life instantly dispelled Tang San's dejection.
His companions were all people of noble status, and his plan would continue. Although the incident with Yin Chuan was unexpected, it wouldn't have a significant impact.
As long as the Shrek Seven Devils gathered again, they would participate in the competition together. He believed that Xiao Wu would gradually change her mind during the future matches.
Yin Chuan would just obediently be a substitute for the Shrek Seven Devils, watching him reclaim Xiao Wu.
