[Suddenly, a Cardinal seemed to remember something and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing to report.]
["Please appease your anger, Your Holiness. Your subordinate has one more thing to report!"]
["Before the Young Lord's identity was exposed, she had already sent people to eliminate Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, and finally poisoned Emperor Xue Ye to death!"]
["In the current Heaven Dou Imperial Family, apart from a Princess Xue Ke, there are no successors left!"]
[Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression softened slightly. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and let out a cold laugh.]
["Oh? In this matter, she did act quite cleanly and decisively. Only one Princess Xue Ke is left, huh..."]
[As she spoke, Bibi Dong quickly thought of a new plot. A cold arc curled at the corner of her mouth as she ordered.]
["Pass down the order: immediately mobilize all our hidden agents within the Heaven Dou Empire to fully push King Xue Hansong of Balak and other collateral branches of the imperial family to fight for the throne!"]
["I want the Heaven Dou Empire to fall into internal strife. Let them fight each other to the death first!"]
["At the same time, send envoys to secretly contact the kings of the major kingdoms and duchies. Promise them great benefits to unite with us and form—the Spirit Empire!"]
["If we can take advantage of Heaven Dou's internal strife, we can swallow it in one fell swoop!"]
["As long as we take Heaven Dou, the Star Luo Empire... will be nothing to fear!"]
["Your Holiness is wise!"]
[For a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the group of Cardinals all bowed and shouted loudly.]
[On the other side, Qingdi Sect.]
[Inside the main hall of the Sect Masters Residence, Tang Chuan, Xue Ke, Chief Committee Member Meng Shenji, and the others had finished their discussion.]
["Your Highness, the three Education Committee Members, there is no time to lose. You should return to the Imperial City immediately to stabilize the situation."]
[Tang Chuan said in a deep voice.]
["If anything happens, send someone directly to the Qingdi Sect to inform me."]
["I will bring people over immediately!"]
[After seeing off Xue Ke and the three members of the Chief Committee Member Meng Shenji group from the Qingdi Sect, Tang Chuan immediately returned to his cultivation quiet room, preparing to continue his closed-door cultivation to break through the Level 90 Bottleneck.]
[However, Tang Chuan hadn't been cultivating for long—only a few hours.]
[Outside the door of the quiet room, there was a soft knock again, followed by Zhu Zhuqing's voice: "Sect Master, Zhuqing has an important matter to report!"]
[Tang Chuan frowned slightly and pushed open the door.]
["What is it?"]
[Zhu Zhuqing stood outside with a somewhat complex expression. She bit her lip and said in a low voice.]
["It's my former classmate from Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong. She's here."]
["The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered a great catastrophe. She escaped because she was at the academy at the time."]
["Now, she has brought Dean Flender, Dean Liu Erlong, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and others from Shrek Academy to seek refuge with our Qingdi Sect, hoping to avenge their Sect."]
["Sect Master, do you want to see them?"]
["Ning Rongrong? Shrek Academy..."]
[Tang Chuan's eyes flickered. After a moment of deliberation, he nodded.]
["It wouldn't hurt to see them."]
[Afterward, Tang Chuan followed Zhu Zhuqing, left the cultivation quiet room in the back mountain, and headed toward the Sect Masters Residence in the core of the Sect.]
Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.
When he saw in the comparison video that his White World self actually intended to seek refuge with the Qingdi Sect to avenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect,
Yu Xiaogang was momentarily stunned.
After glancing at his Disciple Tang San from the corner of his eye,
Yu Xiaogang instantly became incredibly furious. His eyes turned blood-red, he breathed like a bull, and he roared.
"Simply damnable!"
"What on earth is the White World version of me thinking!"
"Back at Nuoding Academy, this Tang Chuan not only refused to take me as his master but even humiliated me!"
"Furthermore, this Tang Chuan is so disobedient and unfilial to his biological father; he can't compare to Little San in the slightest!"
"How could he think of seeking refuge with that Tang Chuan and the Qingdi Sect!"
"That's right!"
To the side, hearing his teacher Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San also agreed immensely. He gave a cold snort and said,
"This Tang Chuan is so disobedient and unfilial toward his biological father, which shows there's a huge problem with his character!"
"As the saying goes: Filial piety comes first in all things!"
"If a person can't even achieve filial piety, what can they possibly do well!"
But after saying that, Tang San comforted him.
"However, Teacher, don't be too angry."
"This Tang Chuan is narrow-minded and vengeful. He certainly won't accept the White World version of you, Teacher."
Not far away, listening to the words of the master and Disciple pair, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang,
Ning Rongrong was criticizing them incessantly in her heart.
'Filial piety comes first in all things!'
'Who could be as foolishly filial as you, Tang San!'
'Being stuck with a father like Tang Hao, who spends every day in a drunken stupor. At such a young age, he didn't even care about cooking, chopping wood, or carrying water!'
'If I had a father like that, I wouldn't acknowledge him either!'
The comparison video continued to play.
[Qingdi Sect, Sect Masters Residence.]
[Inside the hall.]
[When Tang Chuan stepped into the hall with Zhu Zhuqing, everyone inside immediately turned their gazes over.]
[Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, as well as the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, were all in the hall.]
[Seeing Tang Chuan again, the muscles on Yu Xiaogang's face twitched slightly, clearly remembering various past unpleasantries. Yet, he still forced a smile, stood up first, and cupped his hands in greeting.]
["Greetings, Sect Master Tang!"]
["Greetings, Sect Master Tang!"]
[Flender, Liu Erlong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others also stood up one after another to greet him.]
[Only Dai Mubai, although he stood up as well, kept his neck stiff and did not offer a greeting.]
[As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai had his own self-respect and pride.]
[Regarding his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing being "taken away" by Tang Chuan.]
[Although his royal father had already acquiesced and even accepted his fiancée as an adopted daughter—and he had saved his life because of it—that sense of humiliation and resentment still churned in his heart.]
["There is no need for such formalities. Please, sit."]
[Regarding Yu Xiaogang's greeting, Tang Chuan only gave a faint nod, then led Zhu Zhuqing past them and sat in the main seat.]
[Zhu Zhuqing stood in attendance by his side.]
[His gaze finally fell upon Ning Rongrong in the crowd.]
[At this moment, Ning Rongrong no longer had her former daintiness and vibrancy. Her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and her originally spirited eyes now held only endless sorrow and emptiness.]
[She wore a plain white dress, which made her figure look even more fragile and pitiable.]
[Seeing Tang Chuan's gaze turn toward her.]
[Ning Rongrong's delicate body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath as if using up all her strength and suddenly took a few steps forward. Under everyone's astonished gazes, she knelt straight down before Tang Chuan with a "thud"!]
["Sect Master Tang!"]
[Ning Rongrong looked up, tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string. Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled. Her voice was choked with sobs, yet it carried a kind of near-desperate determination.]
["Rongrong... Rongrong begs of you!"]
["The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... is gone! Papa, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone... they... they are all gone!"]
[At this point, Ning Rongrong was already sobbing uncontrollably, her shoulders trembling violently as if she might collapse at any moment.]
[But she held on stubbornly, kowtowing forcefully. Her forehead struck the cold floor, making a dull thud.]
["Rongrong is willing to join the Qingdi Sect! To be a slave or a maid, to work like an ox or a horse—I am willing to do anything!"]
["I only beg Sect Master Tang... I only beg that after Sect Master Tang becomes powerful in the future, you can avenge my father, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and the thousands of wronged souls of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"]
["I beg of you! Sect Master Tang!"]
