Chapter 79

Great nephew, you must be careful of the Clear Sky Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect? Isn't that the so-called former number one sect, whose backbone was broken by the Spirit Hall, now hiding in its ancestral lands like a stray dog?

Could it be they intend to attack me?

The current Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, because of Ning Rongrong, will not strike a dark blow at Bai Ran;

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family also won't; although Yu Yuanzhen is not exactly a gentleman, he's not a villain either, and his information differs from what other forces know—Yu Yuanzhen is, aside from the imperial family, the only one who clearly knows that behind Bai Ran stands that Title Douluo Du Gu Bo.

Yu Tianheng: "You guess how my grandfather knew? In a sense, this genius Soul Saint is also a friend of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."

(Bai Ran: "Well said, but the taxes you owed before still need to be paid back to me, at most I'll give you some extra time.") "Great nephew, you really dare to say anything."

Feng Tianyou stretched out a thumb.

Such sensitive remarks, coming from him, would only be dared after deep night, when he pours two small cups of wine and discusses various topics with his comrades.

That is, the Clear Sky Sect has closed its mountain now, and no Clear Sky Sect disciples can be seen inside the Royal Academy.

Otherwise, with Bai Ran's remarks, the Clear Sky Sect members would see you as courting death.

I'm just speaking the truth, Uncle Feng.

Besides, haven't you slandered the Clear Sky Sect before?

One could say that over a decade ago, the Clear Sky Sect first swiftly severed ties with sect-head candidate Tang Hao, then abandoned its four subsidiary sects and fled, finally hiding in its ancestral lands, surviving only by relying on the so-called gentleman's agreement between ancestor Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.

All I can say is, if Bai Ran were to pass by the Clear Sky Sect, he'd at least have to spit as a sign of respect.

Bai Ran: "No, is this really the number one sect? It feels inferior to the neighboring Seven Treasure Glazed Sect."

Although they say they don't care, when life and death are at stake, Title Douluo-level elders and the sect leader stay behind to cover the withdrawal of junior members, unlike the Clear Sky Sect, where after a battle most young disciples die, yet its several great elders not only survive well, but, guess what, they've almost all become Title Douluo now.

Hmph, anyway great nephew, be careful; if worse comes to worst, go find Du Gu Bo—he should be able to protect you.

Even staying inside the Tian Dou Royal Academy is considered quite safe.

But it's still not enough; against a Title Douluo of rank ninety-five or above, only that Poison Douluo can protect Bai Ran.

Mm-hmm, I got it.

Bai Ran suddenly had a plan.

……

Hearing from Sister Yan Yan, her grandfather still needs two days to finish things; seeing Du Gu Bo temporarily unreliable, Bai Ran approached the two Title Douluo beside Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).

Because of the Angel's Mark, Bai Ran's current status counts as someone Qian Renxue trusts most.

Qian Renxue thinks that relying on the Angel's Mark, she can control this peerless heaven's pride—it's simply too worthwhile.

While Bai Ran believes that relying on this Angel's Mark, which actually has no effect, not only can he avoid being hunted by Spirit Hall Title Douluo, but he can even gain help from some of them—it's simply too awesome.

Both sides think they've made a killing.

Although it looks like Qian Renxue has become a bit of a clown.

But Bai Ran isn't incapable of acting; for a plot that only needs emotional value to reap huge material rewards, eh, it feels off. Is this a proper storyline?

"Little brat, what are you saying? Ambushing the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect—are you not awake, or am I not awake?"

In a dark corner, the black-robed She Long, after hearing Bai Ran's request, couldn't help but pull at his ears, doubting whether this Title Douluo of his had misheard.

To be frank, if you want to discipline a Soul Douluo or a not-so-strong Title Douluo, given that you are the young lady's future sword attendant, I could agree.

But the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect?

A Title Douluo of rank ninety-five or above, specializing in strong attack, possessing the continent's number one tool martial soul, the "Heavenly Sky Hammer".

Not to mention the serpent spear; even if we drag in the lowest-ranked offering from the Hall of Worship, we might not be able to steadily defeat them.

Still want to kill him and burst his soul bone? Kid, just go to sleep early—everything exists in dreams.

"Hmph, coward." She Long could be defeated by a Soul Douluo like Yang Wudi, and it's not without reason—given his weak nature and his desire merely to live a stable life, Bai Ran feels he shouldn't have come to him.

Wasting time.

……

Since Qian Renxue can't offer help here, Bai Ran has no choice but to cling to the thigh of the little rich girl (Ning Rongrong).

"What? Bai Ran, you're looking for Bone Grandpa for something?"

As a swordsman, the Sword Douluo Chenxin has too firm a bottom line; Bai Ran feels he can't persuade him, but Gu Rong is different—his moral bottom line isn't that high, so the chance of successfully persuading him is higher.

Therefore, Bai Ran chooses Gu Rong as the cooperating partner for ambushing those who come from the Clear Sky Sect.

Mm-hmm, there's something urgent.

To show sincerity, actually not showing it would also work.

After all, for Ning Rongrong, she just hopes this white moonlight will have a request of her.

Bai Ran gave a portion of the immortal herb essence to this little rich girl.

"What is this?"

Looking at this dark, unshiny thing, Ning Rongrong recalls that chocolate doesn't look like this either.

"Good stuff."

Speaking of which, Bai Ran has never given this kind of good thing to outsiders; originally, he regarded Zhu Zhuqing as a good brother, intending to give her a share so she could make a comeback, obtain the lead heroine script, and slap the face of the Star Dou Empire royalty.

The result was that her pure and stupid nature made Bai Ran feel chilled.

Sigh, all I can say is, she still isn't trying hard enough.

"Then let me try it."

Ning Rongrong stuffed that piece of immortal herb essence into her mouth and chewed.

Mm, it has a licorice candy taste, not tasty.

"Bai Ran, why do I feel a surge of heat?"

The immortal herb essence contains immense energy; from Title Douluo down to Soul Scholar, due to the energy colliding inside the body, it creates a sensation akin to having taken an aphrodisiac herb.

"Oh dear, Bai Ran, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"Huh? Ning Rongrong, what are you trying to do!"

"Brother, you smell really nice."

"Stop, stop, stop, we're all brothers, don't be so enthusiastic."

"Clearly you were the one who struck first."

"Don't slander me; this thing of mine is indeed a bit stronger, but it's also top-notch good stuff."

"Indeed it's good stuff."

"Hey, bro, don't kiss me!"

"Hmph, this young lady not only wants to kiss you, but also fragrant grass..."

"Huh, why no effect? Bai Ran, this couldn't be fake medicine, right?"

"Just a few minutes passed and it entered the cooldown period; what lousy medicine, so lame."

"How could it be fake medicine? Ning Rongrong, do you want to feel your own soul power?"

"Huh, my soul power reached level forty?"

"Ning Rongrong recalled that just ten minutes ago, she was merely a level twenty-seven great soul master."
