Chapter 52: Arrogance!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a sect established by Support System Soul Masters. Due to the rules set by the sect, there is a certain number of Battle Soul Masters within it, but it is a fact that the inner sect disciples themselves have weak self-preservation abilities.

Listening to Tang San's introduction, Ning Rongrong knew that the prospects for using Hidden Weapons were vast.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be equipped with them, the disciples' self-preservation abilities would certainly be able to rise to a new level.

"Tang San, are you selling these Hidden Weapons? I intend to purchase a large quantity; price is not an issue," Ning Rongrong asked.

"Ahem." Wu Qi interrupted, "Rongrong, this is a token of Tang San's sincerity; wouldn't talking about money hurt our relationship?"

Tang San at this period was very poor.

If Ning Rongrong gave him money, he would have the funds to forge higher-grade Hidden Weapons and rapidly improve his strength.

Financing an enemy was not a wise choice.

After a pause, Wu Qi continued, "Tang San, you didn't just come to find us for this, did you? Is there anything else?"

"As for the business between you and Ning Rongrong, you should handle it privately; there is no need to bring it out into the open."

Tang San nodded and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Wu, could we speak in private?"

Wu Qi agreed, and the two walked to the corner of the wall.

Ning Rongrong frowned, "What is Brother Wu Qi doing? Why stop me?"

Qiangu Changkong winked at her and whispered, "Miss Rongrong, Brother Wu will explain it to you. But for now, you just need to do as he says."

He had a premonition that Wu Qi was not truly helping Tang San; on the contrary, he was secretly digging a pit for the latter.

Ning Rongrong's request was reasonable and fair; if Wu Qi truly wanted to help Tang San, he would certainly go with the flow instead of changing the subject.

……

Tang San got straight to the point, "Brother Wu, my Master wants to see you. Do you have time?"

"Your Master?" Wu Qi asked in confusion.

He knew who the other party's Master was, he just didn't understand why Yu Xiaogang would come looking for him.

Tang San was vague, "Master sees that your talent and strength are both very strong and wants to chat with you. If you are willing, I can call Master over right now."

Yu Xiaogang wanting to take on a disciple—what kind of situation was it for it to come out of his own mouth?

This kind of matter could only be discussed by the two parties themselves; Tang San could at most act as a go-between.

Wu Qi did not refuse.

Yu Xiaogang was considered a future number-one enemy of the Spirit Hall; he actually wanted to see what this bullshit Master of the Soul Master World wanted with him!

After Tang San left, Wu Qi turned his head to give instructions, "Changkong, Rongrong, you two go back first; no need to wait for me."

Not long after the two left, Tang San returned, with a middle-aged man beside him—Yu Xiaogang.

Entering the room, Yu Xiaogang's footsteps were vigorous, and he sat directly in the main seat.

Wu Qi frowned, thinking to himself that this old brat really didn't understand the rules!

Regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang was an "elder" or not, he shouldn't be so presumptuous.

Wu Qi was the temporary "host" of this lounge; in terms of reason and propriety, he should have been the one sitting in the main seat.

Anyone would be dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's behavior of usurping the host's role.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Wu Qi sat to the side; he wanted to hear where Yu Xiaogang got his confidence from!

Yu Xiaogang half-lay on the sofa, putting on the posture of an expert detached from the world.

He spoke slowly, his tone neither salty nor bland as he stated, "You must be Wu Qi. Xiao San has told me that your strength is very strong and your talent is also quite good."

"As you can see, Xiao San is my disciple."

Wu Qi's expression was calm as he retorted, "And so?"

Yu Xiaogang himself was only a Great Spirit Master, yet the arrogance on him actually exceeded that of most Title Douluo.

Someone who didn't know better would think he was the youngest Title Douluo on the continent!

Yu Xiaogang revealed a faint smile, "I intend to take you as a disciple, to be the second disciple under my tutelage."

Tang San added, "Brother Wu, Master's attainments in the field of Soul Master theory are incomparable to ordinary people. If you become Master's disciple, you will be able to avoid many detours in your future Soul Master cultivation."

Hearing this, Wu Qi sneered in his heart.

He thought Yu Xiaogang knew his background and intended to use Bibi Dong's identity to demand some benefits from him; he didn't expect it to be just this trivial matter!

If he wanted to take a disciple, he could just do it; why did he have to put on an air of being superior? Who was he putting on a show for?

Besides, weren't the theoretical materials in Yu Xiaogang's hands all stolen and given to him by that traitor Bibi Dong back in the day?

Wu Qi's status within the Spirit Hall was sufficient to see these materials.

With his reading comprehension ability, he figured he didn't need a Master to specifically interpret the meanings within the theories for him.

Wu Qi didn't know where Yu Xiaogang got the confidence to say such things to him!

One had to know that Yu Xiaogang having a disciple like Tang San was purely due to good luck.

Tang Hao had arranged for Tang San to be by his side so that he could grow up carefree; it wasn't that he truly had this ability, and it certainly wasn't that Tang Hao approved of him.

In the end, Tang Hao still valued Yu Xiaogang's identity, hoping to use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family to protect Tang San's growth.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi stood up and, without saying a word, left the lounge directly.

The best way to deal with someone with mental problems like this was to ignore him.

Yu Xiaogang felt good about himself, thinking that Wu Qi was just too excited and wanted to go out to calm down.

But after waiting for a long time, he finally confirmed that Wu Qi had truly left.

For this, he cursed loudly, "What kind of thing is he, to dare to leave me hanging here!"

"Wu Qi, you will definitely regret what you did today."

Tang San's expression was complex.

Yu Xiaogang's attitude just now was indeed not good, and geniuses had the pride of geniuses; how would they be willing to be servile?

After thinking about it, he decided to persuade Yu Xiaogang first, and then find Wu Qi later to clarify the situation.

……

After exiting the Great Spirit Arena, Wu Qi had not yet caught his breath before someone sought him out again.

Flender adjusted his collar and introduced himself solemnly: "I am the Dean of Shrek Academy. With your talent, you are qualified to join Shrek Academy."

"If you have missed the registration period, this Dean—"

Wu Qi pressed his hand down, interrupting him: "I don't know why you think I would join Shrek Academy, and I don't want to know."

"But I can tell you clearly that I am only here on the orders of the Crown Prince to gain experience for a period of time. Therefore, you can dismiss any ideas you might have."

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, Flender's attitude was clearly much better.

However, that arrogance of Yu Xiaogang's made Wu Qi feel a surge of anger in his heart.

Facing Flender, he had already lost his patience.

After speaking, he walked toward the other side, leaving Flender standing in the wind, disheveled and confused.

After a long while, Flender finally came back to his senses and could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

With such great talent, Wu Qi must have long been valued by a major power. Previously, his guess had just been wishful thinking.

A Crown Prince and a prince cannot be mentioned in the same breath; the Crown Prince is the legitimate heir to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Flender could not help but feel fortunate; if Wu Qi had agreed to him, wouldn't that have been poaching from the Heaven Dou Empire!

At that time, it is feared that the entire Shrek Academy would have been razed to the ground.

Letting out a long sigh, he returned to Shrek Academy feeling somewhat dejected.

Some things depend on fate and cannot be forced.

Being able to have Ma Hongjun as a disciple is a matter of fate. Furthermore, Ma Hongjun's talent is not bad either, so he has no need to be insatiable.
