What is it?
Wang Dong blinked his beautiful eyes.
This guy had the Star Luo Empire backing him—what kind of matter would actually require help from the Clear Sky Sect?
Moreover, Tang Feng possessed dual extreme martial souls and was favored by the Sea God Pavilion Master.
He should also be able to rely on Shrek Academy to investigate things.
"Help me look into something."
"When Dean Yan saved my sister…"
"Which Titled Douluo were present in Heaven Dou City at the time?"
Tang Feng spoke solemnly.
After meeting Yan Shaozhe, he had begun to suspect that there might have been other Titled Douluo present back then.
After all, Yan Shaozhe dared to bring up Tang Ya so casually—using her as leverage to demand that Tang Feng help treat Ma Xiaotao.
At the very least, Yan Shaozhe didn't look like someone burdened by guilt.
"You suspect a third-party force?"
Wang Dong subconsciously held his breath.
If there had been other forces involved in the destruction of the Tang Sect, then the matter would have become extremely serious.
Those people might not have been aiming to destroy the Tang Sect at all—but had another objective entirely.
"I can't rule it out."
Tang Feng nodded.
Back then, after going to Star Luo City, he had repeatedly asked Tang Kun, his wife, and Tang Ya to move there with him.
But Tang Kun insisted on guarding the Tang Sect's grounds, and his mother and Tang Ya stayed behind to keep him company.
In the end, Tang Feng had no choice but to ask Xu Jiujiu, who persuaded Xu Jiawei to send people to protect them.
However, because it was Heaven Dou City, Xu Jiawei couldn't dispatch overly powerful soul masters.
Soul Sages were already the limit.
Even so, those two Star Luo Soul Sages were under constant surveillance by the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Tang Feng couldn't exclude the possibility—
that the Heavenly Soul Empire had been the幕后推手, deliberately luring the Holy Spirit Cult there.
After all, Tang Feng was originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire, yet he had gone to Star Luo City.
They had motive.
"I'll definitely have my Big Dad investigate this thoroughly for you."
"Our Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect were one family ten thousand years ago."
Wang Dong patted his chest in assurance.
He had always felt goodwill toward the Tang Sect and originally wanted to join it.
However, since Tang Feng hadn't joined the Tang Sect, he didn't rush the matter.
"Thank you, Wang Dong."
Tang Feng said sincerely.
Whether or not the results came back, Wang Dong was genuinely helping him.
Unlike Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi, who were always thinking about exploiting him.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
Zhang Lexuan brought Zhou Yi and the others to meet Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
After a lengthy discussion—
The two deans reached a decision.
Zhou Yi was expelled from Shrek Academy.
Du Weilun and Fan Yu were both demoted.
Given Du Weilun's age and talent, he would likely never climb back up in his lifetime.
Fan Yu fared slightly better.
However, his constant arguments with Zhou Yi caused their marriage to fall into crisis as well.
In the past, Fan Yu indulged Zhou Yi because she hadn't caused major trouble.
He could suppress it.
But now—
Zhou Yi had gone completely out of control.
Expelling a dual-extreme martial soul genius was bad enough.
Trying to dismiss the Sea God Pavilion Master?
Who the hell gave her that courage?!
Even Fan Yu himself wouldn't dare do something so stupid.
Not fearing scheming villains—
But fearing that idiots have sudden inspiration.
In the end, Fan Yu moved into the laboratory.
Zhou Yi was left alone, guarding an empty room day after day.
Several days later, Shrek City.
Tang Ya sneaked her way to the front of the Shrek Grand Hotel.
"Xiao Feng, what exactly is he trying to do?"
"He actually asked to meet me at a place like this…"
"Is my little brother about to make a move on me?!"
Tang Ya's pretty face flushed red.
Her imagination began running wild.
"Forget it, I'll go in and see."
Tang Ya scanned her surroundings.
Seeing no familiar faces, she quietly entered the hotel.
She then arrived at the Presidential Suite.
If Tang Feng were really going that route—
Surely he wouldn't choose somewhere this obvious, right?
Even though they were siblings, they hadn't seen each other in over five years.
There was an odd sense of unfamiliarity.
"Why are you just standing there? Come in already."
Tang Feng looked at her with disdain.
He felt his sister was… not exactly bright.
"Xiao Feng, tell me first—what are you doing?"
"You already have Jiujiu. Why are you setting your sights on your own sister?"
Tang Ya genuinely couldn't figure it out.
Why bring her to a hotel?
Why a presidential suite?
"Get in here!"
Tang Feng grabbed Tang Ya's hand.
He dragged her inside and tossed her onto the bed.
Then—
right in front of Tang Ya's stunned gaze—
He sat cross-legged.
"What are you doing?!"
Tang Ya felt her scalp go numb.
She didn't know whether she was being paranoid—
Or if Tang Feng was.
"Summon your martial soul."
Tang Feng spread his right hand.
A blue-green Blue Silver Grass, streaked with purple patterns, slowly emerged.
"Your Blue Silver Grass looks really powerful…"
Tang Ya summoned her own martial soul—
ordinary, common Blue Silver Grass.
"The Nether Douluo likely targeted you because he detected that your Blue Silver Grass possesses a dark attribute."
"You aren't ordinary Blue Silver Grass either."
"You carry the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline—a top-tier plant martial soul."
Tang Feng activated his Life Blue Silver Grass, letting it coil around Tang Ya's martial soul.
He could clearly sense—
Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass was actively absorbing life essence.
"You… you already knew?"
"Xiao Feng, I don't want to become an evil soul master. I don't want to absorb life force."
Tang Ya panicked.
She had only discovered this ability by accident.
From that moment on, she never absorbed life essence from plants again.
Because she knew—
Her younger brother was a super-genius, valued by the world's number-one healer.
Even if she was useless—
Her brother would protect her.
"Isn't that why I came to you?"
Tang Feng comforted her.
When he chose the 30,000-year Ice Heaven Snow Lotus in the Extreme North—
He already had this plan in mind.
Because the Traits he obtained often correlated with soul skills.
For example:Entanglement and Armor RemovalBinding and First StrikeOverlord Thrust and Weak Point Insight"Wuu… my brother is so good to me."
"But you really don't… have designs on your sister?"
Tang Ya still couldn't fully believe it.
After all—
outside Shrek Academy, Tang Feng had praised her looks.
Aren't siblings supposed to find each other annoying?!
"Get lost!"
Tang Feng's mouth twitched.
He'd seen far too much of Tang Ya's embarrassing history.
Being chased by geese.
Eating her own snot.
Rolling around in soul beast dung.
What was there to covet?
Repulsion was more like it.
"Okay!"
Tang Ya immediately became obedient.
Yes—this was her little brother.
Always full of disdain.
"Xiao Feng, are you going to let my Blue Silver Grass cultivate by absorbing your life essence?"
Tang Ya's first thought went straight to internal digestion.
Her brother had an Extreme Life martial soul—
He could provide massive life essence to nourish her martial soul.
"If you wanted to become an evil soul master, I wouldn't mind helping you that way."
Tang Feng said calmly.
If he wanted to rapidly catalyze Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass into Dark Blue Silver Grass, this method would work perfectly.
"Then what should I do?"
Tang Ya felt deflated.
This was the only method she could think of.
"I possess a soul skill that can erase all negative states and purify all evil forces."
"When the time comes, it will be very painful."
"But your Blue Silver Grass has a high probability of evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor."
Tang Feng said seriously.
The power of Divine Sacred Purification directly cleansed the dark attribute within Tang Ya.
Even if he used life essence to ease her suffering—
The process would still be extremely tormenting.
"Do it."
"As long as I can become a genius, your sister can endure any pain."
Tang Ya's gaze was resolute.
She didn't want to become her brother's burden—or his weakness in the outside world.
