Chapter 221 Jiang Nannan's Regret
After returning to the Holy Spirit Church, Huo Yuhao would spend every day with Ma Xiaotao, besides practicing, discussing life all night long. Although Ma Xiaotao still rejected him in every way, she was at least not as heartless as she was on the day of their reunion. The important point was that Ma Xiaotao was still bound by Zhongli Wu, and even if she struggled, she could not escape Huo Yuhao's clutches.

To deal with this stubborn woman, Huo Yuhao made full use of his past life experience: first courtesy, then force. As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. He believed that it would not take long for the two of them to resolve this misunderstanding that should not have existed.

Ma Xiaotao has lived in Shrek for so many years, and her feelings for the students far outweigh everything else. It is not a good idea to let her return to the academy now. Since Xuan Lao joined the Holy Spirit Church, the balance between the two sides has actually tilted. Even if Long Xiaoyao deliberately favors Moon En, Ye Xishui and Xuan Lao are not something that the Light and Dark Holy Dragons can resist.

Another thing that made Huo Yuhao a little gossipy was Zhongli Wu's attitude towards Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er. Apart from imprisoning her soul power, Xian Lin'er could move freely in most areas of the Holy Spirit Temple. Zhongli Wu even treated her with good wine and delicious food.

It seems that this Martial God Douluo attracted many geniuses of that generation when he was young, Huo Yuhao said inwardly.

What puzzled Huo Yuhao was that in the Holy Spirit Sect, apart from Ye Xishui who stayed by Xu Tianran's side all year round, the deputy leader Feng Ling was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that the Holy Spirit Church is going to make some big move recently?
There are some secrets of the Holy Spirit Church's top leaders that even the Son of God cannot know. As the date for the hostage exchange approaches, the strong men that the Holy Spirit Church has recalled from all over the continent emerge one after another, and there is a suffocating feeling that a storm is about to come.

A few days flew by.

Jiang Nannan sat in her room feeling a little lonely. Although she had been practicing on the Sea God Island for a while, and had been receiving Mu En's teachings with Tang Wutong, Xiao Xiao, and Bei Bei who were sent back by the God Realm, according to Mu Lao, she could take the inner courtyard assessment and officially enter the inner courtyard when the next school year starts. The same was true for Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. After all, they were all Soul Sect-level masters. If they still couldn't pass the inner courtyard assessment under Mu Lao's training, wouldn't the efforts of the Extreme Douluo be in vain?

Xu Sanshi's previous injuries were very serious, but fortunately, with the careful treatment of the Titled Douluo Zhuang Lao from the Inner Court's healing department, he has now almost recovered. At the same time, Xu Sanshi's soul power has officially broken through to the Soul King realm, making him the one with the highest soul power among the seven of them.

The death of Cao Jinxuan also means that their group of seven monsters is missing one person. In the future, the academy will add new members to them based on the situation.

She hadn't been harassed by Xu Sanshi for a long time, which made her a little uncomfortable, especially after her position as the most beautiful girl in the external school was taken by Tang Wutong, the dream goddess in the minds of most external school students changed from her to Tang Wutong.

This made Jiang Nannan, who was already a little proud, feel a little aggrieved. She suddenly felt that Xu Sanshi was not so annoying. Looking at the entire outer courtyard, except for Tang Wutong of unknown origin, Xu Sanshi was the number one in cultivation, and was no less outstanding than any contemporary young talent on the mainland.

Xu Sanshi, if you don’t come after me, be careful or I’ll just find someone else!

Jiang Nannan waved her little fist, as if to protest to the air in front of her, and at this moment, she keenly noticed that someone was approaching her residence.

dong dong dong.

There was a light knock on the door. Jiang Nannan would never forget the sound of the steady footsteps even if a long time had passed. She quickly jumped up from the chair, rushed to the door, and opened the door that separated the two of them.

"Nannan, long time no see, you have made progress again." Xu Sanshi still had that signature smirk on his face, but this time Jiang Nannan did not see any surprise in his eyes.

Xu Sanshi's eyes were very clear, as if he was greeting an ordinary friend. His broad shoulders almost blocked the door, and he looked very calm and reliable.

"Xu Sanshi, what do you want?" Jiang Nannan's mouth twitched slightly. She suddenly wanted Xu Sanshi to tell her cheesy love words like before, not like now, like a good friend's communication. "I have something for you. This is the fairy grass cultivated by Wutong's family. It is said that it can cure Auntie's illness. I was asked to pass it to you." Xu Sanshi took out an unknown plant from the storage ring and handed it to Jiang Nannan.

It’s Tang Wutong’s stuff again!

Jiang Nannan took the pot of plant. For some reason, she had an urge to throw it away on the spot. However, her reason told her that this was a magical object that could cure her mother's illness, so she had to accept it.

Seeing Jiang Nannan silently taking the fairy grass, Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed a task, "Okay, now you can study in the academy without any worries. I have sent someone to take care of your aunt, so don't worry."

What? He has always had someone take care of his mother?
Jiang Nannan was struck by lightning when she heard this. This bad guy, he, he never told me this. In the past few years, he has been helping me take care of my mother. Bad guy, stupid guy, bastard, why didn't you tell me!
For several years, Jiang Nannan only wrote letters to her mother and sent some money back, but she never dared to go back to see her, for fear of seeing her and recalling the pain of that night again.

Tears fell involuntarily. She suddenly felt so stupid for not understanding anything before. For the sake of her inner pride, she didn't even dare to go to see her mother. The one who had been taking care of Jiang's mother on her behalf was Xu Sanshi, the person she hated and disgusted the most.

"Hey, don't cry. Wutong said that they have a lot of this magical herb at home. It's not worth much. We are all family. Don't be so formal." Xu Sanshi hurriedly supported her shoulders and kept comforting her.

Wutong? Tang Wutong! Tang Wutong again! For some reason, Jiang Nannan actually felt a little hatred towards Tang Wutong. If it weren't for Tang Wutong's appearance, if it weren't for her being able to fuse her spirit with Xu Sanshi, if it weren't for her...

Xu Sanshi had no idea what Jiang Nannan was thinking at the moment. The next moment, the girl whom he once longed for so much quickly hugged him tightly.

Jiang Nannan burst into tears. For the first time, she felt that this embrace was so warm and strong. But why had she never noticed this before?
Xu Sanshi used his gentle water-attributed soul power to calm Jiang Nannan's emotions. While comforting her verbally, he inadvertently pushed Jiang Nannan away.

Jiang Nannan could not hide Xu Sanshi's little trick from her. Her beautiful eyes suddenly shrank. If it were in the past, Xu Sanshi would be happy for the whole day even if she hugged him for three seconds. But this time, she hadn't even enjoyed the warmth of this embrace before he pushed her away subconsciously.

"Sanshi..." Jiang Nannan raised her head stubbornly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her red lips pursed, looking eager yet afraid.

Her fluctuating eyes seemed to urge Xu Sanshi to kiss her. As long as she kissed her, they would be able to go back to the past. As long as she kissed her, she would be willing to be his girlfriend.

Xu Sanshi was stunned. In this atmosphere, he would never be able to resist such temptation. But the next moment, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind, shattering all the space that Jiang Nannan once occupied.

"Nannan, you should go to bed early. I have something to tell Wutong later. You..."

"No——" Jiang Nannan finally exploded. She suddenly threw the pot of life-saving magic herb in her hand to the ground, and then fell to her knees. She cried heartbreakingly, like a little girl whose toy was taken away. She felt so aggrieved that her whole world collapsed.

That’s all for today. There will be more exciting things to come, so stay tuned!
