In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 148 Dragon King's Palace and Hidden Dragon Academy (Part Two)

"What does 'consider' mean?"

Xueye frowned imperceptibly.

"Because the name of the faction that the Ancient Dragon Clan plans to create is somewhat unusual."

Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Oh? What's your name?"

The snowy night piqued my interest.

"Call……"

Xue Qinghe's lips twitched slightly, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Dragon King's Palace".

"temple?"

He couldn't help but ponder on the snowy night.

"Although it's hard to admit, who on the continent doesn't know about 'One Palace, Two Kingdoms, Three Upper Sects, Four Lower Sects, and Seven Great Families'... Is the Ancient Dragon Clan simply too ambitious, or are they openly and honestly trying to oppose the Spirit Hall?"

"I don't understand either."

"Enough, we don't need to interfere. It's just a title, after all. The key is strength. Whether the Ancient Dragon Clan is acting recklessly like that guy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or has real power, it will only make the Spirit Hall more hostile. Qinghe, we just need to sit back and watch the fight, and do some favors when appropriate."

Xueye waved goodbye one last time.

Xue Qinghe nodded slowly.

……

On the other side, Qian Renxue was telling Wang Zhao about the events of the past month. Most of them were visits from powerful figures or invitations to visit her. They were usually turned away by Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu before they even met Qian Renxue. Those who were qualified to meet Qian Renxue were sent away by her under the pretext that Wang Zhao was not present and that she needed to handle matters and cultivate. She only talked to a few important figures a little longer.

Most of the people who came to see him were there for official business or personal gain. However, according to Qian Renxue, there were two special individuals who specifically asked to see Wang Zhao to discuss private matters.

"Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua..."

As Wang Zhao listened to Qian Renxue's description, recalling the events of four years ago, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, lost in thought.

"Do you really know them?"

Seeing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

Wang Zhao nodded, and then recounted the events of that year to Qian Renxue.

Qianrenxue then said:

"They actually saw you entering and leaving the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City? And you even revealed your information to them? Xiao Zhao, this carelessness isn't like you at all..."

Wang Zhao shook his head and smiled.

"I didn't think that much about it at the time. Besides, I only met Tang Yuehua because I was interested in her martial soul. Fortunately, I didn't leave any loopholes and my story wasn't too bad, so this matter is not difficult to resolve."

"So, will you see them next time they come over?"

Qian Renxue then asked another question.

"Why not see me?"

Wang Zhao's gaze was leisurely.

"Tang Yuehua is somewhat interesting, but since she lacks strength, there's no need to be overly wary of her; as for Liu Erlong, she doesn't seem very close to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. A Crimson Dragon Martial Soul Master, tsk, it seems she's destined to be associated with my 'Ancient Dragon Clan'!"

Hehehe~

……

The next day, early in the morning.

As luck would have it, Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue had just been talking about Liu Erlong last night, and today someone reported, "Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Academy, has come to pay a visit!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Zhao readily agreed to receive her. Qian Renxue sat next to him with a wistful expression. Soon after, a radiant woman arrived at the door.

Four years have passed, and Liu Erlong has grown even more beautiful. Her figure is as ripe as a peach, and time seems to have left no trace on her. Because of her youthful mindset and the fact that she has not truly experienced the ways of the world, her charm, which combines mature beauty with youthful liveliness, is even more captivating.

As soon as Liu Erlong entered, she looked at Wang Zhao. She paused for a moment, stunned by his silver hair and handsome face, before saying:

"You're back. I never expected you to look like this under that mask."

"How is it?"

Wang Zhao asked with a slightly teasing tone.

"Not bad... Pshaw, pretty boy."

Liu Erlong pursed his lips.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You have a Sacred Dragon Martial Soul of a size that is far from being a Martial Soul, a third and fourth Soul Ring of ten thousand years, and you even fought against a Soul Saint with the cultivation of a Soul Master. You are much more famous than I was back then."

"Thank you for the compliment, but it's rare to hear you say so many nice things, Sister Liu. Please feel free to speak your mind."

"...Then I'll just say it directly."

Liu Erlong paused for a moment, then said.

"I've come to see you today for two things. First, why did you persecute Boss Fu's Shrek Academy?"

"So they've come to interrogate me."

Wang Zhao nodded as if he suddenly understood.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately spoke up: "Are you talking about that Shilake Academy? It's not that we persecuted it, but that it deserved it. We were just upholding justice. You should know this if you ask around on the mainland."

Liu Erlong fell silent for a moment.

It turns out that back when Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue intimidated Shilake Academy outside Soto City, the infamous reputation of Shilake Academy spread rapidly across the continent through word of mouth from the onlookers and the subsequent voices of Soul Masters from all over the continent who had been persecuted by Shilake Academy.

Liu Erlong naturally heard about it soon enough. Considering herself the most "loyal," she didn't immediately dwell on Flander's mistakes, but instead felt indignant that Wang Zhao had abused his power.

However, for various reasons, she ultimately did not go directly to Wang Zhao to demand an explanation. In the following months, even though she tried to avoid it, she inevitably heard students in Blue Tyrant Academy talking about Shilake's "misdeeds".

Therefore, even if she was unwilling, she had to admit that Wang Zhao did not seem to have done anything wrong.

However, as a woman whose emotions far outweigh her rationality, Liu Erlong still thought of "helping her relatives regardless of reason" this time. So, as soon as she heard that Wang Zhao had come to Tiandou City, she disregarded everything else and rushed over to his door. However, when she first went to his door, Wang Zhao had already gone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so the matter was delayed until today.

Unlike Tang Yuehua, who was much more rational, she was well aware that Wang Zhao and the Ancient Dragon Clan's arrival in Tiandou City would inevitably cause a stir, with the city bustling with activity in the initial period. More importantly, considering the issue of their identities, Tang Yuehua thought it would be more appropriate to visit them after a while. However, she did not expect that Wang Zhao would disappear for a month, acting recklessly and without restraint, rendering her calculations completely ineffective. This was beyond the expectations of all the powerful figures in power.

"I know that."

Then, Liu Erlong continued speaking.

"Boss Fu did make some mistakes, but they were just mistakes that many novice academy deans would make. You've caused Shillake Academy's reputation to be spread so widely, indirectly harming Gray Tad Money Rabbit. Isn't that going too far?"
