Douluo Continent: The Source of Destruction, Qingmei Qianrenxue

Chapter 23 Xiao Wu's Soul Appears for the First Time, Master and Disciple Turn Against Each Other

Looking at Tang San, Bai Yin decided to pin the blame for Xiao Wu's disappearance on Yu Xiaogang.

Bai Yin stroked his chin, pretending to think, and said, "I seem to vaguely remember this person you're talking about."

Upon hearing that Bai Yin had met Xiao Wu, Tang San became extremely excited.

Tang San placed his hands on Bai Yin's shoulders, shaking him as he anxiously asked, "Really? Where did you see Xiao Wu?"

Shaking him like that by Tang San, Bai Yin, feeling a little dizzy, said, "Okay, stop shaking me."

Tang San, regaining his senses, replied, "You mean this girl, Xiao Wu?"

Then Bai Yin transformed his martial soul into a treasure gourd and said, "Go!"

As Bai Yin finished speaking, a pink smoke was released from the magic gourd.

Tang San was shocked to see the figure released from the magic gourd.

Isn't that the Xiao Wu I've been thinking about for the past six years?

Xiao Wu appeared before Tang San in her spirit form, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes the moment she saw him.

Xiao Wu was overjoyed to come to Tang San and wanted to hug the person she hadn't seen for six years, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get close to Tang San.

She found herself unable to speak and could only hear sounds from outside, and she also found that her body seemed to be controlled by silver.

Tang San also noticed Xiao Wu's behavior. He also wanted to hug Xiao Wu, whom he hadn't seen for six years, but Xiao Wu's body was not there.

Transforming his grief and anger into strength, Tang San raised his hands and questioned Bai Yin, saying, "Yin Xue, who exactly are you? Why is Xiao Wu's soul inside your martial spirit?!"

Seeing the hint of anger in Tang San's eyes, Bai Yin said expressionlessly, "This matter begins when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring because I had innate full spirit power."

"When I passed by the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring, I saw a group of people burying a corpse. No, it can't be called burying; they just dug a pit and threw the corpse directly onto the ground."

Tang San interrupted Bai Yin and asked, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by this group of people?"

"I don't know the specifics very well. After all, it was a case of burying a body. When I first saw this situation, I was so scared that my legs went weak. But I remember that there were two people in this group who were the most distinctive and easy to recognize."

"These two people seem to be around forty or fifty years old. One of them is wearing a badge of the Notting Academy uniform, which seems to be a bit more advanced than the badges of normal students and teachers. The other one has his hands behind his back and is posing like a master. Because his pose is very simple, I copied it."

"That's about right." Then Baiyin also made the pose that Yu Xiaogang often did.

"This is it!" Tang San stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the gesture Bai Yin made.

Isn't this the classic move that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, always makes no matter where he goes?!

Bai Yin continued, "Afterwards, they casually threw a female student's corpse on the ground. My magic gourd seemed to sense something, so it rushed forward and sucked the female student's soul into it."

"Oh right, I think I heard something when they left. That master-like person seemed to say something about why it was all for something three."

Upon hearing Bai Yin's words, Tang San became even more convinced that this was something Yu Xiaogang had done in collusion with the dean of Notting Academy.

However, it cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty at this time; it may be something Bai Yin fabricated.

Tang San said sharply, "I'll ask you one last time, are you telling the truth?"

Bai Yin said confidently, "Of course it's 100% true. Not only do I have no grudge against her, but I don't even know her. What reason would I have to kill her?"

"Besides, if I really killed her, do you think I would spend so much time explaining to you and then bring her soul to meet you? I usually avoid people I've done wrong when I see them."

Looking at Bai Yin's confident expression and when Tang San met his eyes, he didn't detect the slightest trace of Bai Yin lying.

Normally, liars would leave some clues, such as avoiding eye contact or making small movements, but this Baiyin did nothing.

Tang San then turned his questioning gaze to Xiao Wu, hoping to glean some clues from her.

When Bai Yin saw Tang San looking at Xiao Wu, he used his power to control Xiao Wu's soul to make her nod without hesitation.

After seeing Xiao Wu nod, Tang San also learned the "truth" behind Xiao Wu's disappearance.

Tang San also lowered his hands and slowly closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Yinxue, I misunderstood you."

Bai Yin said, "It's nothing. However, what I, Yin Xue, can't stand the most is people who kill."

"People like them who prey on young girls deserve to die. But it's a pity we can't find the killer now."

Tang San said, "No, perhaps the murderer you're talking about is someone Xiao Wu and I both know. By the way, do you have any way to revive Xiao Wu?"

Bai Yin shook his head regretfully and said, "I haven't figured that out yet. After all, there haven't been any examples of people being resurrected on the Douluo Continent yet."

"However, I did read in an ancient book that as long as the soul does not perish, there is still hope for resurrection. In other words, there were cases of people being resurrected by their souls a long, long time ago."

"Xiao Wu's soul is basically bound to my magic gourd now. Once my magic gourd spirit is shattered, Xiao Wu's soul will also be reduced to ashes."

Tang San confidently declared, "No matter what, I will protect Xiao Wu's soul!"

Seeing that Tang San had taken the bait, Bai Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I still have a breath left, I won't let anything happen to Xiao Wu's soul!"

After all, if something happens to Xiao Wu's soul, how will we control you later?

"Thank you!"

Tang San was genuinely grateful for Bai Yin's actions.

No matter who it is, if that person dares to hurt Yin Xue, then I will never forgive that person.

After all, in Tang San's eyes, hurting Bai Yin was the same as hurting Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang, Dean of Notting Academy, you two pathetic bastards, one day I will kill you and offer you as a sacrifice for Xiao Wu!
