Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 238 Tang San Pit Catches a Toad

Yu Xiaogang never dreamed that the seemingly gentle and refined sect leader would actually betray him with a hidden weapon.

He never expected that the head of a sect would use hidden weapons to befriend the Shadow Palace.

At this critical juncture, Ning Fengzhi wanted to befriend the Shadow Hall again. He was also worried about one thing: would the people from the Shadow Hall perform well in the competition?
Then the divine throne would belong to the Shadow Palace again, so in Ning Fengzhi's view, it was necessary to be on good terms with the Shadow Palace.

He hadn't found anything suitable to give to the Shadow Palace, which was why he hadn't taken any action. But today, someone actually delivered something to his doorstep.

This was the first time he had ever heard of hidden weapons. Although he was very interested, the other party actually wanted him to assemble them himself and then hand them over to him after they were assembled.

Heh, they've certainly made a good plan. It's just a pity that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now penniless, having given two-thirds of its assets to the Shadow Hall.

If it were during his prime, he might have agreed, but now? Ning Fengzhi no longer has the desire to dominate; he only wants to protect his small territory and prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from disappearing.

His idea was to be able to please both sides.

Ning Fengzhi always needed to rely on a powerful force, which is why he hedged his bets on both sides.

Wanting both, that's what businessmen are all about.

Moreover, he had promised Yu Xiaogang, but it wasn't like he couldn't let others participate... After all, Ning Fengzhi didn't take Gangzi and the others seriously.

We're only being allowed to see you because of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan; otherwise, who would you be?

Yu Xiaogang was unaware of this; he was still lost in his own beautiful fantasy.

On the other side, Toad Tang San also found Xue Ye, but how could Emperor Xue Ye be so easily fooled at this time?
He saw through Toad Tang San's intentions at a glance—he wanted him to make a move? Heh, the price wouldn't be low.

“Xiao San, you are Luo Chuan’s classmate, so logically I should be your elder.”

"But I am also an emperor, and I must consider the entire country."

"Mistress, there's nothing I can do about this."

As the Snow Night Emperor spoke, he deliberately revealed a fondness for hidden weapons, which was coincidentally caught by Toad Tang San.

Toad Tang San cursed under his breath, "Old fox."

There was no other way; I needed their help, so I had to be humble. You just wait, you've already found your way to death.

How dare you refuse me, Tang San! Toad Tang San suppressed his murderous intent and revealed a pair of harmless eyes.

"Your Majesty, if I were to teach you the assembly method as well, what about this batch of pills?"

Toad Tang San didn't mince words; he simply said that the benefits he offered weren't enough, and the other party was too greedy.

Since you've taken my things, you can see if you're alive to keep them.

"Little San, I never expected you to be so righteous. With your hidden weapons, the strength of my Heavenly Dou Empire will be greatly enhanced."

"How about this, Xiao San? You're still young, so I'll give you the title of Viscount."

Emperor Xueye made the decision immediately, without giving Tang San the toad a chance to refuse.

Toad Tang San was taken aback. Wouldn't that expose the truth?

His deal with Emperor Xueye was simple: he would not compete for the pills and would let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School handle the transaction.

But once his title is exposed, won't they find out about their betting on both sides? And if he reveals the details of the deal, what will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School think?
"Your Majesty, let's forget about the title. The youngest is still too young. If Your Majesty really wants to bestow a title, perhaps we should wait until after the Soul Master Competition."

Xueya suggested that if they were to grant a title now, Xiaogang's affair would definitely be exposed, and she wouldn't let that happen.

"Yes, Your Majesty, serving the Empire is what I, as a subject, should do. There's no need for a title..."

Tang San, the toad, spoke respectfully, his words tactful and his posture humble. Xue Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, let's do as Commissioner Xue says. Rewarding merit is a tradition of our Heaven Dou."

"Xiao San, you can wait until after the Soul Master Competition to be granted your title."

There was nothing Tang San and the others could do to stop Emperor Xueye, but fortunately, he extended the time for bestowing titles, which was enough.

After bidding farewell to Emperor Xueye, Toad and Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they had completed their mission.

After the two left, a figure emerged from behind the door: "Father!"

"You heard everything just now, didn't you?" Xueye said softly.

"Yes, Father, Yu Xiaogang didn't come. He must have gone to his teacher's."

Xue Qinghe shared his analysis.

Xueye nodded in agreement: "It's not 'should,' it's 'definitely,' it definitely went to your teacher's."

"They really think we're fools."

"I would be even happier if Yu Xiaogang came, what a pity, what a pity..."

Xueye shook his head. If Yu Xiaogang were here, he wouldn't think so much. But with Yu Xiaogang gone and Tang San the Toad making a request, how could he not be suspicious?

"Father, should we?"

Xue Qinghe smiled faintly.

"Yes, why not? We may not intervene, but that doesn't mean your brother can't."

"Have your brother send his men out, and remember, they can't be from our Heavenly Dou royal family."

"We are very trustworthy!"

Emperor Xueye smiled slightly and said, "You will make a profit, but I certainly won't lose."

Xue Qinghe laughed as well. His good younger brother had raised a group of people. Those were thugs. What did they have to do with the Tian Dou royal family?
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and the others were unaware that they had been tricked by these old foxes.

Yu Xiaogang was being too presumptuous. He thought that powerful forces were all honest and upright, and would do what they promised. How could they do such despicable things?

What he didn't know was that powerful forces often preferred to do those despicable things.

Moreover, they did agree, and they did indeed do it. The ones competing with Yu Xiaogang and his group weren't them, but others.

They want fame, and they want elixirs too.

They just took advantage of the master and apprentice to scam them.

After all, this Mystic Water Pill is far more potent; it's no wonder they're envious. As for an agreement? Heh, an agreement is only an agreement if the strength is equal; if the strengths differ significantly, it's just one party unilaterally taking advantage.

"Little San, I'll be able to break through level 30 in three days."

Upon seeing the toad Tang San, Yu Xiaogang excitedly exclaimed that he already had a premonition of breaking through to level 30.

When the time comes, I must hunt down a super powerful pig spirit ring for Luo Sanpao!

This is the first time in so many years that he has broken through to level 30, so he will definitely give the third spirit ring the strongest one.

And the pig's spirit ring is the most suitable for me, just thinking about it is wonderful...
