— Chapter 48 —

A carriage quietly left the Dao Academy. Qian Renxue is staring at the window in a daze, recalling the sensation of Spirit Fusion triggered when Han Yuan summoned his Purple Silver Grass.

It was a weird sensation!

Warm, electrifying, and lastly addicting. Qian Renxue wished she could experience those feelings again and confirm if she really had the rare Martial Soul Fusion with Han Yuan.

Unfortunately, she was in Xue Qinghe’s disguise and couldn’t make a rash movement against Han Yuan. She couldn’t help but lament this ridiculous coincidence.

She also couldn’t help but question why a mutated Blue Silver Grass had any connection with her “Seraphim” martial soul. One is just mutated grass, and the other is a divine existence.

Qian Renxue clicked her tongue, “Unless Han Yuan’s martial soul is not just mutated Purple Silver Grass…”

“Aih, I should tell Grandpa about this.”

“It’s too ridiculous for me to assume everything myself.”

“But should I report Han Yuan to that woman?” She suddenly entered a deep thought. She unconsciously doesn’t want to reveal Han Yuan’s existence to Bibi Dong.

If that woman knew, Qian Renxue was sure she’d make an extreme movement against Dao Academy.

Unknown to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong has already ignored Dao Academy’s existence because of Liu Erlong and the idea of this academy itself.

So, the female pope won’t touch the Dao Academy anytime soon unless Qian Renxue revealed the information about three “miracle” drugs immediately.

…

…

At the same time, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong also flew back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. On their way back, Ning Fengzhi couldn’t help but ask for Bone Douluo’s opinion, “Uncle Bone, what do you think of the boy?”

“Do you think he’s suitable for Rongrong?”

“This…” Gu Rong was speechless. “You wanted them to be together this quickly? We only met Han Yuan once, Fengzhi.”

“Yes, but from this meeting alone, Han Yuan successfully left too many deep impressions.” Ning Fengzhi smiled. “Whether it was appearance, talent, and intelligence, he met the standard that Rongrong’s fiance should have.”

“Think about it again. A genius like Han Yuan was ‘naturally’ destined to become a Title Douluo, and we are just making an early investment by doing this.”

“In fact, he might not need our investment and can rely on Dao Academy alone to become stronger.”

Gu Rong frowned, “But we never knew if Rongrong would like Han Yuan. I don’t want to sacrifice her happiness for a potential Title Douluo…”

“You’re her father, Fengzhi! You should be saying this, not me!”

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, “I’m doing this because I Am Rongrong’s Father, Uncle Bone.”

“Xiao Yuan and Rongrong can cultivate their feelings slowly.”

“It’s best to do it while they are young.”

“I’m confident many women would throw themselves at Han Yuan when he grew up because of his appearance alone. That boy was very handsome like me when young.”

“By then, it would be too late…”

“Your narcissism is coming out, Fengzhi.” Gu Rong’s mouth twitched in disbelief.

“However, you’re right.” He sighed helplessly. “Perhaps that boy is the only person who could fit Rongrong. I’ve never seen so many talents in one person before…”

“Despite having innate spirit power of level 5, he could reach a Spirit Elder with his hard work and creative mind. He even has a goal that no other spirit masters dare to achieve. If Han Yuan can really absorb a 10,000-year-old spirit ring as his fourth ring, history will remember him as a pioneer.”

“This era belongs to the new generation.”

“With that kind of achievement, Rongrong won’t have a problem surviving.”

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly when hearing Gu Rong’s reply. Although he schemed to get his daughter and Han Yuan closer, there is a reason behind it.

The world is not very peaceful right now. The Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire have had many border conflicts in the past few years, possibly breaking into a war. If not for the presence of Spirit Hall, which was greater evil in their eyes, both empires wouldn’t have stood still.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi knew Spirit Hall’s strength was “deeper” than anyone could have imagined.

There was an absolute existence in the Clear Sky Clan who could keep Spirit Hall in check before, but Ning Fengzhi’s father, the previous head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, told him that person suddenly disappeared years ago.

That’s why Clear Sky Clan didn’t dare fight Spirit Hall in conflict seven years ago and chose to seclude themselves from the world. The other clans saw this and had no choice but to lay low, gathering more force to be safer in the Douluo Continent.

The situation is so tense that Ning Fengzhi is worried he won’t survive if conflict happens. Before that, he needed a place or someone to protect his daughter.

…

…

Back at the Dao Academy, Han Yuan and Liu Erlong are still in their seats, drinking tea and watching over the terrace of Blue Silver Grass.

“You really scammed them, huh?” Liu Erlong said with chuckles.

“Heart Separation Control, Ownership of the Desolate Mountain Range, Countless Rare Metals, Ancient Spirit Beast’s Remains, and finally access to their library, which holds knowledge that the public doesn’t know.”

“All that for a bunch of drugs that don’t even cost 100 gold coins a set.”

Han Yuan smiled, “Scam is a strong word. I prefer calling it a smart sales trick.”

“While it’s true the cost of each set is not even 100 gold coins, that happened because I’m the one who made them.”

“Ask yourself, is there someone who could make better drugs than me in Douluo Continent? I’m doing them a favor here.”

“My cooking is very expensive. It’s not a matter of raw materials, but the skills needed to make quality products.” Even with the Sky Poison Pearl, Han Yuan still needed to learn medicine and pharmacology.

The Mystic Water Pill and Holy Abyss Pill don’t appear from thin air, you know?

“That’s true, I suppose…” Liu Erlong leaned, poking Han Yuan’s forehead gently. “Sometimes I’m curious what kind of brain you had inside this wicked skull of yours.”

“I really wanted to crack it open and see…”

“Ugh, get your hand off me, Erlong.” Huan Yuan smacked Liu Erlong’s hand away.

“You sound like a psycho for a second there.”

“Oh, you actually called me by name. Hehe, that’s rare.” Liu Erlong didn’t care about Han Yuan smacking her hand, but the way he called her by her name made her happy somehow. She even giggled.

Han Yuan stared at Liu Erlong and sighed in his heart. Although he has treated this woman’s Love-Brain Syndrome, he didn’t cure it and only replaced her source of obsession with himself.

He couldn’t do anything about it as the Love-Brain Syndrome affects the heart. He can only slowly but surely erase a “certain” person from Liu Erlong’s heart.

“By the way, warm up the teapot.” Han Yuan said calmly.

“Hmm, do you want to drink more tea?” Liu Erlong tilted her head in confusion.

Han Yuan shook his head gently, “No. I’m expecting another guest tonight.”

“Well, he’s the only guest I expected to come originally. Uncle Ning, Senior Gu, and Brother Xue are coming earlier than I expected.”

“Who is it?” Liu Erlong was curious.

Han Yuan smiled confidently, “Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!”
