Tang Lan wasn't interested in Jiangzhu's advances.
—She and Zhu Zhuqing had similar styles, not to mention Jiangzhu's background was far inferior.
"I need to speak with your dean. Could you tell me where the dean's office is?" Tang Lan asked.
"Huh?" Jiangzhu was surprised. "What do you need to see Teacher for?"
Teacher?
Right.
Jiangzhu had good talent and was taken in by Liu Erlong as a disciple, and it seemed she was also an adopted daughter?
"Do you know Yu Xiaogang?" Tang Lan asked directly.
Jiangzhu's expression instantly changed!
"What relation do you have to that heartless man?" Jiangzhu said coldly. "My teacher has waited for so many years. What do you want now?"
It seems she knows about it.
That makes things easier!
"That's not your concern. Just take me there," Tang Lan said.
So she's only a Rank 4 Soul Grandmaster?
"Who exactly are you?" Jiangzhu asked again.
Is this woman unable to understand human speech?
"You're really annoying," Tang Lan said helplessly. "If you won't take me, I'll ask someone else."
Turning around, he was about to leave.
Jiangzhu was also exasperated!
How could this person be so clueless?
Wasn't she, a great beauty, entitled to any special treatment?
Worried that Tang Lan might blurt something out, Jiangzhu could only step forward and grab his arm.
"Alright, I'll take you to find the teacher."
"That's more like it." Tang Lan brushed her hand away.
For women he wasn't interested in, he wouldn't give them any false impressions.
Jiangzhu huffed.
He shook his head and quickly walked towards the depths of the academy, arriving at a courtyard with a sign that read "Restricted Area, No Entry Without Permission."
A pond, a simple thatched hut, and a fence.
It was all very basic.
However, inside the fence, all sorts of flowers were planted, blooming in competition, a vibrant array of colors that was quite beautiful.
Among those flowers,
a woman was standing there, holding a watering can and watering the plants.
Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head to look.
Her gaze swept over Jiangzhu and landed on Tang Lan.
Tang Lan was also looking at her.
Liu Erlong looked to be in her thirties, a blue cloth dress doing little to hide her charm, her features delicate and captivating.
What was most eye-catching, was the mountainous curves beneath the robes, a surging wave of mature, full figure.
Definitely a mature woman!
What a pity.
Her heart belonged to Yu Xiaogang, that guy, who was still just a lovesick fool.
What a waste of that figure.
"Jiangzhu, why are you here?" Liu Erlong asked casually, "Is this handsome young man your boyfriend?"
I thought it was her bringing a little boyfriend around to show off.
Jiangzhu hesitated, considering how to start.
Tang Lan had already taken the storage belt he'd gotten back from Xiao Wu out of the Blue King.
"Clang!"
The water pot crashed to the ground, crushing her beloved flowers, but Liu Erlong seemed not to notice.
With a flash, she was in front of Tang Lan, dodging the storage belt to examine it closely.
That's right!
"This is Xiaogang's soul tool belt!" Liu Erlong stared directly at Tang Lan. "How did you get it? Where is its owner? Speak!"
His tone was tense and fearful.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's strength was really nothing to write home about; getting killed and robbed was normal.
"Principal Liu, don't be nervous, I'm right here, I won't leave." Tang Lan glanced at Jiangzhu. "How about we let her go first?"
Jiangzhu glared!
She'd worked hard to lead the way, and she also wanted to enjoy the show.
Now, as soon as he was done using her, he'd kick her away?
Bah! Scumbag!
"Jiangzhu, you go back first." Liu Erlong trembled. "You, come with me into the house."
Liu Erlong clutched a storage belt in one hand and grabbed Tang Lan's hand with the other.
Afraid he'd run off.
The door closed with a bang.
Without Liu Erlong needing to ask, Tang Lan revealed everything.
"Master is doing very well. He's a guest elder in my Tang Sect, and he's currently in Heaven Dou City."
Liu Erlong visibly relaxed upon hearing this.
He's still alive, that's good!
But then her gaze sharpened! A guest elder in the Tang Sect? "The Tang Sect you're talking about… is it the one selling the Tang Sect Encyclopedia for 5 copper soul coins?" Liu Erlong asked, sounding bewildered.
Tang Lan was taken aback.
Five copper soul coins?
Oh, wow.
Even though I didn't plan on making money off of this, I did say I'd sell at cost.
But I didn't expect it to be this low.
"Yes, I'm from the Tang Sect."
"I don't care what your connection to the Tang Sect is!" Liu Erlong interrupted. "How is Xiaogang doing?"
Tang Lan was speechless.
This woman... doesn't even let a person finish their sentence?
He bluntly said, "I have a way to make you and Master be together, and he won't run away from you anymore."
"What did you say!" Liu Erlong stared fixedly at Tang Lan. "Can you really do it? What price do you want me to pay? I'll agree to anything!"
So decisive?
"I want Bluedeath Academy," Tang Lan said directly. "As my..."
"No problem!" Liu Erlong didn't hesitate. "Bluedeath Academy now belongs to you! You can't touch the original students, but everything else is at your disposal!"
Wow!
Tang Lan was truly speechless!
This really was the romance continent.
Everyone was so consumed by love, there was no saving them.
All the prepared talking points were useless.
Liu Erlong stared intently at Tang Lan, urging him, "What about the method you mentioned?"
"If it doesn't work, you'll pay the price!"
She was straightforward and hot-tempered.
Yet, she was completely under Yu Xiaogang's thumb.
Tang Lan was speechless as well.
But it was precisely this personality. Since Liu Erlong had agreed, there was no need to worry about her backing out.
"This is simple," Tang Lan said. "Come with me, I'll take you to find him."
"Alright!"
A Fire Dragon Martial Soul emerged behind Liu Erlong, and seven soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, lit up beneath her feet.
A Soul Saint with seven rings!
She grabbed Tang Lan and directly flipped over the thatched hut, soaring into the sky.
She hovered in the air, looking at Tang Lan.
"Which way?"
Tang Lan: "..."
I know you're in a hurry, but I didn't expect you to be this hurried.
He pointed out the direction.
Liu Erlong flew rapidly all the way, and soon arrived at the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel.
The commotion was too great.
As soon as they landed,
the people from the Tang Sect came rushing over, including Yu Xiaogang.
Liu Erlong's tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
"Xiao...Xiaogang!"
"Is it really you?"
"Am I dreaming?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were also red as he looked at the woman he had longed for, yet dared not meet.
His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
Tang Lan watched with disdain.
Is that all?
"He's not a real man!"
Tang Lan used a mental link to tell everyone to retreat from the scene.
"You guys talk first, call me if you can't handle it."
After saying this, Tang Lan turned and left, catching up with Zhu Zhuqing, who was quickly escaping.
Before she could close the door, he squeezed into her room.
This caused Tang San and the others to give him an "I knew it" look.
Inside the room.
Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face was showing rare panic and shyness.
"What... what are you doing here!" Zhu Zhuqing forced herself to remain calm. "Wasn't last night enough?"
After returning.
After learning that Tang Lan needed to maintain a "pure yang body" because of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Zhu Zhuqing realized she had misunderstood the term "dual cultivation."
Facing Tang Lan now was truly mortifying; she could barely keep from digging her toes into the floor.
Tang Lan saw her embarrassment.
He stepped forward, embraced Zhu Zhuqing, and whispered in her ear—
"Brave girl pursuing love, what's there to be shy about?"
"We're not related by blood, you're unwed, and I'm unmarried. What's wrong with dating?"
With the confirmation, Zhu Zhuqing's mood gradually returned to normal.
But she didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.
Tang Lan just held her, not making any further moves.
This surprised Zhu Zhuqing.
She had thought he would...
Half an hour later.
"Bang bang bang—"
The door was being pounded violently.
No need to ask.
Besides Liu Erlong, no one would dare come and bang on the door at this hour.
Tang Lan stood up.
He was going to confront Yu Xiaogang again, and it would be the last time he could do it openly.
After this, that guy would have Liu Erlong protecting him, making him harder to deal with!
Gotta leave him with a memory he'll never forget!
The car in front had been banned, and it had taken a long time to sort out.
Even going 20 miles per hour was considered speeding, and I couldn't use my cultivation at all!
