Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 190 Xu Sanshi's Scheme
the other side.

Xuanming Sect.

After seeing off the goatee-bearded doctor Chen who came to report, Xu Sanshi sat alone on the sofa in his study, a cigar dangling from his lips. Instead of being annoyed that his plans had been interrupted, he looked calm and composed.

"Alright, let a conman who appeared out of nowhere give it a try. Once Nannan is completely desperate, she should come looking for me." Xu Sanshi's lips curled up slightly.

Xu Sanshi strolled to the window, gazing at the meticulously maintained garden outside, but his thoughts had already drifted to the Jiang family's dilapidated house.

Xu Sanshi was fully aware of Jiang's mother's condition.

Because he had keenly sensed a year ago that Jiang's mother's health was beginning to decline, and it was an irreversible and fundamental decay. Not to mention some random young boy, even the top-tier healing-type soul master could not cure her.

Only the Xuanming Pill from his Xuanming Sect, a sacred medicine that strengthens the foundation and reshapes the roots, could forcibly inject vitality into that depleted source, sustain her life, and even reverse some of her decline.

Of course, Xu Sanshi was not involved in the development and delay of Jiang's mother's illness; he simply let nature take its course.

After all, he had already set his sights on Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan ignored him, so he could only turn his attention to Jiang Nannan's mother.

The condition for the evolution of the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul of the Xuanming Sect is that a virgin woman is needed to guide the medicinal power with the purest primordial yin energy to help him complete the evolution of his Martial Soul!
His family had actually arranged other women for him long ago, but his heart belonged only to Jiang Nannan.

Therefore, when he learned that Jiang's mother had fallen ill, he bribed the doctor who was treating Jiang Nannan's mother to vaguely reveal the information about the "Xuanming Pill" to Ye Yunxi and Jiang Nannan. He didn't need to do anything else.

When Jiang's mother is exhausted and Jiang Nannan is in utter despair, the Xuanming Pill will naturally become the only lifeline in Jiang Nannan's eyes.

To grasp at this straw, she would be willing to pay any price, including herself.

Of course, he wouldn't show up himself for any of this; he would just send a subordinate to make the arrangements, and he would pretend to be unaware of it.

On their wedding night, he would drink more wine, then complete the task in a daze, and finally feign regret to comfort Jiang Nannan…

He would shift all the blame onto his family, and then use his connections to take care of Jiang Nannan's mother. In the end, he should be able to soften Jiang Nannan's heart and make her completely accept him.

"But who is that kid who suddenly appeared... Jiang Nannan doesn't seem to be close to anyone, could it be that bastard Ye Chen?"

Xu Sanshi seemed to have thought of something, and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"No, I have to go and take a look tomorrow," Xu Sanshi thought to himself.

Of course, he couldn't go see for himself, lest Jiang Nannan find out.

Dr. Chen is a very useful tool, so he plans to have Dr. Chen go again tomorrow to check on Jiang Nannan's mother's condition.

……

at the same time.

In an ordinary guesthouse, Ye Chen used the Boundless Eye of Heaven and Earth to observe all the actions of Xu Sanshi and the goatee-bearded doctor.

"I knew it! That goatee was pushing the Xuanming Pill right away. There's definitely the Xuanming Sect behind it," Ye Chen thought to himself.

Xu Sanshi has temporarily suspended his studies due to Ye Chen's curse.

Even without Ye Chen's curse, Xu Sanshi would probably have taken a leave of absence to go home and complete his 15th birthday coming-of-age ceremony.

The virgin prepared by the Xuanming Sect was naturally Jiang Nannan.

Ye Chen even suspected that the Xuanming Sect was secretly pushing Ye Yunxi's overwork, but he had no evidence and was just speculating.

In the original novel, the Xuanming Pill was so rare that it was almost impossible for Jiang Nannan and Ye Yunxi, being commoners, to know about it.

It must be that Jiang Nannan had been targeted by the Xuanming Sect for a long time, so they took advantage of Ye Yunxi's serious illness and used the transaction of Xuanming Pill to trick Jiang Nannan out of her virginity.

But now that Ye Chen has intervened, the Xuanming Sect's plan can only fail.

However, Ye Chen has confirmed that the goatee doctor is indeed connected with Xu Sanshi or the Xuanming Sect, and Xu Sanshi has already regarded Jiang Nannan as his prey.

As for the part in the original novel that whitewashes Xu Sanshi, it was of course just something Xu Sanshi deliberately put on for Jiang Nannan to see.

If Xu Sanshi truly had such awareness, he could have won Jiang Nannan back long ago if he had just told her earlier.

"Since the curse failed to kill you, I'll take matters into my own hands."

Ye Chen stroked his chin, his figure flashing as he swiftly teleported towards the Xuanming Sect. Possessing the "Eye of Boundless Heaven and Earth" and the ability of "teleportation," Ye Chen entered the Xuanming Sect with a single thought.

Of course, Ye Chen had no intention of killing Xu Sanshi.

Jiang Nannan is his person, and since Xu Sanshi dares to target Jiang Nannan, he will not die so easily.

Since Xu Sanshi's martial soul awakened into the Xuanwu Turtle and required that thing, Ye Chen decided to nip it in the bud and completely cut off Xu Sanshi's idea.

……

……

late at night.

The light in Xu Sanshi's study was still on.

Xu Sanshi was leaning back in a soft chair, a cigar between his fingers, wisps of smoke curling upwards.

His gaze was fixed on the brightly lit night scene of the Xuanming Sect outside the window, a confident smile playing on his lips.

He has already sent people to check the situation. As long as the mysteriously appearing boy is not Ye Chen, he is confident that he can easily win over Jiang Nannan.

Once he awakens, his martial soul will be able to evolve from a top-tier martial soul into a super martial soul called "Xuanwu"!
At that time, his strength and talent will surely increase greatly, and when he returns to Shrek Academy, even the two Bebes will not be his match.

"Sigh, I'm so outstanding, why does Nannan still not like me..." Xu Sanshi sighed slightly, quite melancholy.

If Jiang Nannan were more sensible, he wouldn't have needed to do all this...

However, he didn't think he had schemed against Jiang Nannan; it was just a matter of luck.

Moreover, he did all of this for Jiang Nannan's good.

Jiang Nannan was just an ordinary person with no background. Her cultivation relied on her own talent, hard work, and the resources rewarded by Shrek Academy.

As long as Jiang Nannan is with him, he will definitely give her the best life, and he will also use the Xuanming Pill to treat Jiang Nannan's mother.

at this time.

The brightest soul-guiding lamp in the room went out with a "snap," without any warning.

Only the faint moonlight filtering through the window illuminated the room, casting a gray shadow over everything.

"Who?!"

Xu Sanshi felt a strong sense of alarm and abruptly stood up, his Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul seemingly trying to be activated.

but--

late!

A [God-Sealing Seal] landed directly on Xu Sanshi.

To be on the safe side, Ye Chen directly consumed 10% of his own soul power to condense a God-Sealing Seal.

This God-Sealing Seal can easily seal away ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, let alone Xu Sanshi.

The moment the God-Sealing Seal landed on Xu Sanshi, he froze, completely petrified, standing motionless.

Clearly, Xu Sanshi's body, including his soul power, martial spirit, and everything else, has been completely sealed by Ye Chen.

A ghostly black shadow appeared behind Xu Sanshi in an instant.

There was no sound, no sign of soul power fluctuations; it was Ye Chen.

Xu Sanshi sensed something and was filled with extreme terror. He moved his eyes very slowly and with great difficulty, trying to see the person behind him clearly...

But his body was almost completely affected, and no matter how much he struggled, his body seemed to have completely lost control and he was unable to move at all.
