Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

When Su Yuntao walked out of the Spirit Hall, the sun had already set. He stood at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, touched the token in his arms, and then touched the official letter he had just finished writing in his pocket. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Tomorrow I can legitimately enter the city lord's mansion.

He took a deep breath and strode towards the dormitory.

The next morning, Su Yuntao neatly folded the official letter, put it in his pocket, touched the silver-gray token again to make sure he had everything, and then strode out the door.

When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, it was not yet Chenshi (7-9 AM).

The Lord's Mansion of Nottingham is located in the middle of the main street of the East City. It has high walls made of blue bricks and two stone lions in front of the gate. It is several levels more magnificent than the old mansion of the Su family baron.

Two guards in leather armor stood at the entrance, with swords at their waists and businesslike expressions.

Su Yuntao walked to the door, and a guard reached out to stop him:

"Halt! Who goes there? This is the City Lord's Mansion, a restricted area. No unauthorized personnel allowed."

Su Yuntao calmly took out the silver-gray token from his pocket and handed it to the guard:

"The Notting Branch of the Spirit Hall, on the orders of Branch Master Qin Yan, has come to pay a visit to the City Lord. Please inform him of our arrival."

The guard looked down at the token, paused for a moment, and then his expression changed from nonchalant to slightly tense.

Having worked at the City Lord's Mansion for many years, he immediately recognized the design of the Spirit Hall branch hall master's token; this was not something anyone was worthy of possessing.

"Please wait a moment."

The guard's tone immediately became much more polite, and he turned around and quickly pushed open the door to report.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is up, the door is pushed open from the inside.

A middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue official robe strode out. He was of medium height, with fair skin and a few neatly trimmed short beards on his chin. He was none other than Xiao Huaiyuan, the city lord of Notting City.

The moment Xiao Huaiyuan stepped outside, he saw Su Yuntao. His gaze lingered for a moment on the token in Su Yuntao's hand, then he flashed a warm smile.

"Oh, it's Steward Su! I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly. Please come in, please come in."

Su Yuntao bowed with his hands clasped in greeting:

"Lord Xiao, you are too kind. I have an official letter to present to you on the orders of Palace Master Qin."

Xiao Huaiyuan readily agreed and personally led Su Yuntao into the front yard.

As Su Yuntao followed Xiao Huaiyuan through the front courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, he appeared to be looking straight ahead, but in reality, all his attention was focused on the golden dot on his retina that represented the intelligence technique.

The light flickered and hovered at the edge of his field of vision, and its relative position shifted clearly as he moved.

But as they passed through the moon gate in the front yard, Su Yuntao's steps unconsciously slowed down by half a beat.

He maintained a polite smile, but a big question mark popped into his mind.

and many more……

What's going on?

The location indicated by the golden dot was actually at the base of a wall in the southwest corner of the front yard.

There was a clump of half-withered holly growing there, and the wall was somewhat mottled, making it look like one of the most inconspicuous corners of the city lord's mansion.

Su Yuntao originally thought that such a precious cultivation technique as the "Silver Moon Concentration Technique" must be hidden in a secret compartment of the city lord's private study or bedroom, or at the very least, under a chest in a storeroom.

He even mentally rehearsed the routes to these rooms several times.

And you're telling me this thing is under the courtyard wall?

The doubts in his mind surged for a moment, but he quickly suppressed them.

Xiao Huaiyuan led the way from the side; he absolutely could not afford to make the slightest mistake.

"Steward Su?" Xiao Huaiyuan noticed that he had slowed down and turned to look at him. "This way, please. The main hall is just ahead."

"Oh, okay." Su Yuntao quickly followed, his face returning to a standard polite smile. "The City Lord's Mansion is much more spacious than I imagined. I was daydreaming just now."

Xiao Huaiyuan laughed heartily, not thinking much of it, and led him into the main hall.

The main hall wasn't large, but it was kept clean and tidy.

Xiao Huaiyuan invited him to sit down and had tea served. Only then did he take the official letter, remove the sealing wax, and unfold it to read.

Su Yuntao held his teacup, blowing on it to keep it warm while observing Xiao Huaiyuan's reaction.

Xiao Huaiyuan's gaze swept quickly across the paper before stopping.

His expression shifted from casual to focused, then from focused to shocked, and finally, when he looked up at Su Yuntao, his lips were trembling slightly.

"Innate full soul power? Twin martial souls? Are you sure your Spirit Hall didn't make a detection error?"

"no."

Su Yuntao put down his teacup, shook his head, and said:

"Yesterday, I personally went to Holy Soul Village to conduct the Martial Soul Awakening. When the first test revealed Blue Silver Grass and innate full Soul Power, I felt something was wrong. How could an ordinary Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass be worthy of innate full Soul Power? So I tested it again, and sure enough, it revealed twin Martial Souls."

He paused, then added earnestly:

"That child is named Tang San. He is only six years old this year. His talent is indeed exceptional. However, he is reluctant to leave his hometown. I clearly expressed the Spirit Hall's intention to recruit him, but he did not agree. He only said that he wanted to study at a basic academy near his hometown for a period of time first."

Xiao Huaiyuan's hand holding the official letter trembled slightly:

"So, your Spirit Branch Hall means to let him enter Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy first?"

"Exactly." Su Yuntao nodded. "Our Palace Master Qin hopes that the City Lord's Mansion can take good care of Tang San. After all, the growth of a good talent cannot be achieved by the Spirit Hall alone. The City Lord's Mansion also needs to cooperate in basic education. Although one of this child's spirits is the useless Blue Silver Grass, his innate full spirit power is still there, and his future is limitless."

Xiao Huaiyuan's mind was racing:

"Innate full soul power, twin martial souls—Lady Luck has finally smiled upon me!"

"This credit came to us uninvited!"

Having barely suppressed his excitement, Xiao Huaiyuan stood up and paced back and forth in the hall a couple of times. Then he turned to look at Su Yuntao, his gaze intense, and said:

"Steward Su, to be honest, after being the city lord for so many years, my biggest headache is that no decent Soul Master talents have emerged from my jurisdiction. Every year when I write my performance report, I don't even know how to start writing the education section. But now it's all good. With innate full Soul Power and twin Martial Souls, even if he only stays at my Notting Academy for a year or two, that's a real achievement, enough for me to submit a beautiful and appropriate document."

He returned to his seat, personally refilled Su Yuntao's teacup, and spoke in a tone even warmer than before:

"Steward Su, I, Xiao Huaiyuan, will remember this kindness. Rest assured, once Tang San enters Notting Academy, I will make sure he is treated like a treasure. Whatever he needs, as long as it is within the academy's capabilities, I will provide it without hesitation."
