Chapter 35: Threats in the Shadows

These past few days, every time Wu Qi finished a Spirit Fighting match, he would be blocked at the entrance by fanatical female fans.

These women were all beautiful, and Qiangu Changkong was incredibly envious of this, "Brother Wu, when will I be noticed by those big sisters?"

If it were him, he would certainly not turn anyone away, unlike Wu Qi.

Regarding his question, Wu Qi had no answer, "Now is the golden period for cultivation; do not let matters of men and women interfere with your training."

"In the future, once you become a powerhouse, even if it is the princesses of the two great Empires, you can pick whoever you want."

"I also want to be rubbed by someone's chest," Qiangu Changkong muttered.

Just then, they happened to pass by Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Hearing his words, Xiao Wu sneered, "Heh, another idiot who only thinks about carnal desires."

Hearing this, the two turned their heads to look.

Xiao Wu and Tang San's commoner attire was truly inconspicuous.

When he fixed his gaze on them, Wu Qi raised an eyebrow, "Could it be Tang San and Xiao Wu?"

Previously, they had never met, so naturally, they could not confirm the other party's identity.

Qiangu Changkong said indignantly, "I say, little sister, what does our conversation have to do with you? There is no need to use such malicious words, is there?"

Tang San's gaze sized the two up.

The soul power aura on Qiangu Changkong was similar to his own, so he figured he was also a level 29 Great Spirit Master.

As for Wu Qi, there was not the slightest fluctuation of soul power on him.

Tang San understood that if the other party were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for a peak Great Spirit Master with excellent talent to follow his lead; he figured the other party's strength should not be much weaker than Dai Mubai's.

Furthermore, they had arrived in Suotuo City for the first time and were unfamiliar with the place; if they offended the local nobility, they would have no easy life ahead.

Thinking of this, Tang San cupped his hands toward the two, "I am Tang San, greetings to you both."

"Apologies, Xiao Wu did not mean to offend you. We were just discussing other matters earlier; if there was any offense, please bear with us."

Xiao Wu was anxious, "Third Brother, why are you speaking in favor of outsiders?"

Hearing this, Wu Qi thought to himself that it was as expected.

Tang San was his greatest future enemy, but at this moment, there was no need for a conflict to break out between them.

Nodding slightly, he gave Qiangu Changkong a look without changing his expression.

Qiangu Changkong knew this look very well; it was a signal of danger.

He forced a smile, "Since it was unintentional, then let it be. Farewell."

After saying this, he and Wu Qi quickly left the place.

Tang San did not expect the other party to be so easy to talk to, and he cupped his hands again toward their retreating backs.

"Xiao Wu, Teacher sent us here to study, not to cause trouble. What if they are seniors from Shrek Academy..."

Xiao Wu was indifferent, "If we offended them, so be it. With Third Brother's strength, are you afraid of not having a place in the academy?"

Tang San gave a bitter smile, "Xiao Wu, don't forget the task Teacher entrusted to us. We are here to unite with our classmates."

Xiao Wu retorted, "Then how do you know they are from Shrek Academy?"

Tang San was only guessing.

However, in Suotuo City, apart from those from Shrek Academy, he could not think of any other possibility for youths possessing such talent and strength.

On the other side, after shaking off Tang San and Xiao Wu, Qiangu Changkong could not help but ask, "Brother Wu, what is their background, that even you felt danger?"

Wu Qi prevaricated, "I have a feeling there is a dangerous aura behind them. Perhaps their elders are following behind."

"In any case, they only said a casual word; there is no need to make an issue of it."

He was not sure if the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo was following behind them; a Spirit Douluo's strength might not be able to see through Xiao Wu's identity at a glance, but upon closer inspection, Xiao Wu would definitely be exposed.

One must know, behind Xiao Wu was Tang Hao.

And the Tang family and the Spirit Hall were mortal enemies; if things really blew up, they were afraid they would not be able to leave here alive.

In the original timeline, Tang Hao secretly monitored the situation when Tang San enrolled; the other party had very likely already arrived in Suotuo City.

When the two returned to the hotel, the news brought by the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo verified his conjecture.

"A Title Douluo of unknown identity has arrived in Suotuo City. The two young masters must evacuate as soon as possible to avoid uncontrollable accidents."

Today, the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo was protecting the safety of the two in the shadows as usual.

When he walked to a street, he was locked onto by a burst of soul power aura.

The other party seemed to have no intention of attacking him, and withdrew the soul pressure in just an instant.

The perception of the Golden Eagle Spirit was very keen; one who could hide under the nose of the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo must be a Title powerhouse.

Qiangu Changkong frowned, seemingly understanding Wu Qi's earlier worries.

Wu Qi did not rush to express his stance.

At this point in time, the only Title Douluo who would come to Suotuo City was likely Tang Hao alone.

The other party must have seen through the origin of the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo, otherwise, he would not have had the intent to kill.

But for the sake of Tang San's safety, Tang Hao did not choose to act.

If the Spirit Hall lost a Spirit Douluo powerhouse, they would inevitably conduct a carpet search of Suotuo City.

And Tang Hao could not appear now; leaving Tang San to be looked after by Yu Xiaogang was to ensure he had a safe environment to grow up in.

That the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo could survive proved that he had not noticed Xiao Wu's true identity, nor had he paid attention to Tang San.

Tang Hao would likely not tail the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo; to him, Tang San's safety was the most important thing.

In this way, the backgrounds of Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong were not exposed.

Even if they had crossed paths with Tang San earlier, Tang Hao might not necessarily have noticed them.

"Senior Golden Eagle, leave Suotuo City immediately, go to another nearby city to hide for a few days, then return. Remember, exit from the north of the city, and in the future, do not investigate Shrek Academy."

Spirit Douluo Golden Eagle was greatly alarmed, "Two young masters, you are not leaving?"

Wu Qi countered, "We haven't been exposed, why should we leave? The other party is a Title Douluo, not a murderous demon; the threat to us is very small."

The logic was sound, but if the two met with an accident, and the Consecration Hall held him accountable, Spirit Douluo Golden Eagle feared that even death would not be enough to appease their rage.

"Rest assured, I never do things without certainty; as long as you don't go to Shrek Academy, there won't be any problems."

Spirit Douluo Golden Eagle could see Xiao Wu's true identity, so Tang Hao would inevitably be on high alert against him.

But Wu Qi and his companion were different; although their martial souls were similar to those of the Consecrators in the Consecration Hall, it did not mean they came from the Spirit Hall.

One must know, Li Yusong's martial soul was also a Coiling Dragon Staff.

Why couldn't Qiangu Changkong be a relative of Li Yusong, and they had come here to seek refuge with Li Yusong?

Although Tang Hao hated the Spirit Hall, he would not go so far as to take action against two people who posed no threat.

After some persuasion, Spirit Douluo Golden Eagle finally left reluctantly.

Before leaving, he revealed a piece of bombshell news.

"By the way, people from the Moon Pavilion have appeared in Suotuo City. When you pass by East Street, there happen to be people from the Moon Pavilion purchasing grain there."

"I don't know if there is any connection, but the mission the Crown Prince entrusted to you might be related to the Moon Pavilion!"
