Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 163 Three people under one bed, you guys did this on purpose, didn't you?

Seeing Ling Luochen hide under the bed in that instant, Xiao Qiang remained silent. It was just a normal meeting, why hide just because someone came? There was no shady deal involved.

The fact that they were hiding under the bed made it seem like they had some kind of secret.

Xiao Qiang didn't care what Ling Luochen was up to. He had a clear conscience, so he opened the door without much concern.

The moment the door opened, Ling Luochen's breathing became much shallower. For Xiao Qiang, there was nothing shameful about their meeting, but for Ling Luochen, it was a different story.

She was one of the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils, so theoretically her position was not problematic, but that was before.

She had already been betrayed by Elder Xuan, including her companions, herself, and several senior friends. In addition, she was now obsessed with the invincible shield, and she couldn't even convince herself that she was 100% loyal to Shrek Academy.

Ling Luochen understood his situation perfectly. With so many things going on, it was impossible for him to have no grievances against the academy. If someone saw him with Xiao Qiang, the top genius of the Sun Moon Empire, under these circumstances, even if nothing actually happened between them, some things wouldn't be so easy to clear up.

For Ling Luochen, the best thing was to avoid being seen by others and to avoid arousing suspicion, which is why she chose to come late at night when everyone was asleep.

Unexpectedly, he wasn't the only one who came to see Xiao Qiang late at night.

"You are... Ning Tian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? What do you want with me?"

Ning Tian smiled slightly, not in a hurry. "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

"Come in."

Xiao Qiang led Ning Tian in and had her sit in the seat that Ling Luochen had previously occupied.

"Hmm? There's a faint woman's fragrance. Was Mr. Xiao meeting with distinguished guests earlier?"

"No, it's just someone I know. What do you need?"

"That's right, my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to cooperate with Mr. Xiao on some things."

Xiao Qiang looked at Ning Tian. "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Ning Tian nodded. "Yes."

Hearing Ning Tian's words, Xiao Qiang bluntly exposed the current state of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. "First, you should go to my teacher about this. Second, it wouldn't matter if it were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ten thousand years ago, but the current Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School seems to no longer have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with our Mingde Hall."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a top-tier sect. In an era when there were fewer than 100,000 Soul Masters, it had over 4,000 disciples. Two Super Douluo possessed the power to hunt 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts for Soul Masters. Because of this, even in an era when Soul Douluo were extremely rare, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had more than just three or five Soul Douluo elders. But since Shrek Academy officially rose to prominence, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School probably can't even produce five Soul Douluo now."

"Furthermore, without strength, there's no ability to safeguard sufficient wealth. I wonder what value the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School holds for Mingde Hall now?"

Ning Tian gave a wry smile. He knew Xiao Qiang was telling the truth, but there were some things she still had to say. "Perhaps it wouldn't matter for Mingde Hall, but what about for Mr. Xiao personally? In terms of cultivation resources, if our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were to give Mr. Xiao all of its resources, it would surely be a great help to him."

"No, I've long since passed the period of resource scarcity. I don't lack resources now, and even if I did, there are some things that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School can't afford to give me. After all, you don't even have the ability to hunt for 100,000-year soul rings anymore."

Ning Tian maintained her smile, but cold sweat was already beading on her forehead. When she came to face Xiao Qiang, she had thought that she didn't have many cards in her hand, but she didn't expect that she would have even fewer cards than she had anticipated.

Now that Wu Feng is dead, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was already gradually declining, is about to decline even further. She originally thought of trying to win over Xiao Qiang at all costs. She didn't expect them to win over too many people, but as long as they could win over Xiao Qiang, they could let Nana come to their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School as an honored guest.

Although Nana is Xiao Qiang's servant, her talent is such that even the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to show her respect.

"Alright, I'll give you ten minutes. You can think about what valuable things the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School still has. If you really have something that can impress me, I might help you out once if needed. However, if your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is really as simple as it seems on the surface, then I'm sorry, but cooperation requires strength. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not worthy of discussing cooperation with me at the moment."

Considering that they were the richest sect ten thousand years ago, Xiao Qiang gave them a chance to see if they were truly ruined or if they had some foundation. The degree of cooperation would be determined by the amount of foundation they had. If they had no foundation at all, Xiao Qiang had only wasted a dozen minutes of his time.

After eight minutes of silence, Ning Tian still didn't speak. Instead, Xiao Qiang's door was knocked on again.

In an instant, Ning Tian, ​​because his situation was similar to Ling Luochen's, did the same thing as Ling Luochen.

However, when Ning Tian crawled under Xiao Qiang's bed and saw Ling Luochen, the scene fell into an eerie silence. Then, the two of them turned their heads away as if they didn't recognize each other, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"Senior Meng?"

Xiao Qiang opened the door, and what he saw was Meng Hongchen with white hair and blue eyes.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Please come in."

Xiao Qiang made way for Meng Hongchen, who then sat down in the spot where Ling Luochen and Ning Tian had just been sitting.

"Why do you smell like a woman? You don't have a girlfriend right now, do you?"

"No, they're just two acquaintances."

Meng Hongchen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment Xiao Qiang asked about something.

"Senior Meng, there shouldn't be any problem with you coming here, right?"

"What problem could I possibly have?" Meng Hongchen took off her high heels, her white stockings draped over the coffee table. Compared to Ling Luochen and Ning Tian, ​​Meng Hongchen seemed much more at ease. However, the two had only been chatting for a short while when Jing Hongchen's voice came from outside the door.

In an instant, Meng Hongchen's face turned red. She didn't have the same concerns as Ling Luochen and Ning Tian, ​​but if her grandfather saw her coming to a boy's room in the middle of the night, the consequences would be dire...

Then, Meng Hongchen's gaze fell on the area under Xiao Qiang's bed.

Xiao Qiang: "..."

Are you all doing this on purpose?
