Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 145 Yu Xiaogang Takes the Blame

"My darling?"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback.

"Don't you know?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask a question. He had assumed that the little scandal between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong was already common knowledge in the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue recalled, "I only heard that when she was young, she had a relationship with a man who didn't belong to the Spirit Hall. At the time, she was even willing to betray the Spirit Hall for that man. However, that happened before I was born, and since she became Pope, some things naturally became taboo. I don't know much about it. Do you know who that man was?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "You've seen this man before; he's Yu Xiaogang, the leader of Shrek Academy and Tang San's teacher!"

"It's him!"

Qian Renxue seemed taken aback, then became somewhat gloating, as if she had discovered a new continent. She burst out laughing, slapping her thigh and mocking, "I didn't expect her taste to be so bad, actually falling for a piece of trash who'll never reach level 29!"

Actually, your taste isn't much better!

Xiao Yu silently grumbled in his heart, "If it weren't for my appearance, the person you've set your sights on could have single-handedly destroyed the foundation of your Qian family for generations."

A few minutes later, Qian Renxue, having finished laughing, said seriously, "You mentioning Yu Xiaogang reminds me. This guy was clearly on the list of accompanying teachers submitted by Shrek Academy, but he disappeared when they set off. Judging from your expression, you must know where he went."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "He has already gone ahead to Martial Soul City!"

Qian Renxue looked puzzled: "Why did he go to Wuhun City ahead of time? A level 29 piece of trash shouldn't be obediently following the main group. What's with all this acting like a hermit master?"

"He went to Bibi Dong to ask about the secrets of cultivating twin martial souls. In the later stages of cultivating twin martial souls, there will be a conflict between the martial souls. The first twin martial soul died when adding a spirit ring to the second martial soul, but Bibi Dong overcame this difficulty."

Xiao Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, "Tang San also possesses twin martial souls. This old bastard Yu Xiaogang is preparing to sell his body for his disciple."

Qian Renxue immediately understood Xiao Yu's intention: "You're planning to have me send someone to intercept Yu Xiaogang before he enters the Papal Palace and teach him a lesson!"

"Um!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Don't tell me you've gotten so low in the Spirit Hall that you can't even send a few people to guard the gate anymore."

"Whom do you look down on?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat angered by Xiao Yu, and her words carried a hint of irritation: "As the Holy Maiden of the Hall of Offerings, finding a few people is a simple matter of a word. The key is, what grounds do we have to deal with Yu Xiaogang? Besides the Soul Masters directly under our Soul Hall, there are also a large number of outside Soul Masters in Wuhun City. To attack Yu Xiaogang without any evidence is just ruining our own reputation!"

"The reason? That's simple!"

Xiao Yu said nonchalantly, "That old guy has a Papal Decree, given to him by Tang Hao. Tang Hao probably knows this guy's weak, so he wants to use him as a pretext to get free help from your Spirit Hall for Tang San. It's illogical for a level 29 trash like him to possess a Papal Decree. Once your men capture him, just claim he forged the Papal Decree; I doubt anyone will suspect anything!"

"OK!"

A cruel smile flashed across Qian Renxue's face: "Now that this old bastard has fallen into my hands, I'll make him wish he were dead. But are you sure this will hurt that old woman's heart?"

"You can rest assured about that!"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "This old man was Bibi Dong's first love after she fell in love; he was the purest and most innocent white moonlight in her heart. You've made him half-dead, which is more heartbreaking than making her half-dead herself. But you'd better hurry. Although that old man's soul power isn't that great, he's still a Soul Master, and he set off a few days earlier than us. If he sees Bibi Dong first, you'll miss your chance."

Qian Renxue was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have no one else to use, so I'll borrow one of yours!"

"What?"

Xiao Yu's eyes widened. "Who was it that just now said that for a dignified Holy Maiden of the Offering Hall, finding a few people wouldn't be a problem with a word? How come you can't even find someone to send a message back now!"

Qian Renxue glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "With a Sword Douluo accompanying me, would I dare let the Spirit Hall people follow? The guards around me are all from the Heaven Dou royal family. If I send them to the Spirit Hall to deliver a message, what difference would that make from exposing myself!"

"But my people aren't affiliated with the Spirit Hall. How can I gain the trust of your Offering Hall people in Spirit City without any evidence?"

Xiao Yu reached out to Qian Renxue, asking, "Do you have any token that can prove your identity? I can borrow it!"

"Take it!"

Qian Renxue flicked her wrist, and a golden token engraved with a six-winged angel flew out: "This is my Hall of Worship's token. Within Martial Soul City, it's equivalent to a papal decree. Have your people take this token to Cardinals Jin Cang and Qian Gu Changrong. Leave the rest to them!"

Xiao Yu took the token and said, "Alright, I'll arrange for people to set off right away, making sure we get ahead of that old bastard Yu Xiaogang!"

"You said it yourself."

Qian Renxue snorted coldly, "If I let that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang leave Wuhun City unscathed, you'll see how I deal with you!"

"Achoo, achoo!"

Yu Xiaogang, dressed in simple clothes and hurrying along, suddenly stopped, sneezed twice, wiped his nose, and said suspiciously, "Strange, it's not cold today, why am I sneezing so much? Is it because I'm getting old and my body isn't doing well anymore!"

"Never mind, let's get down to business!"

Yu Xiaogang slapped his cheeks hard to dispel the wild thoughts in his mind and continued to hurry towards Wuhun City, unaware that he had become Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue's punching bag.

After nearly twenty days of enduring wind and rain, Yu Xiaogang finally arrived at Wuhun City. After being inspected by the city's guardian spirit masters, he was allowed to enter the city. With his cultivation level of less than level 30, he would not attract anyone's attention at all.

Walking on the streets of Wuhun City, looking at the towering angel statue in the very center of the city, a hint of resentment flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

He could not forget the humiliation he suffered here more than 20 years ago. Under Qian Xunji's coercion, he was driven out of Wuhun City like a stray dog, and anyone could trample on him.

"Qian Xunji, you'd better watch out underground! My beloved disciple Tang San will definitely overthrow your evil Spirit Hall rule in the future!"

With this belief in mind, Yu Xiaogang strode toward the direction of the Papal Palace.
