When Sword Douluo heard the news that Dugu Bo was joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his previously calm expression immediately showed surprise.
How could he not know about such a significant matter?
In the past, Fengzhi would have discussed it with him. Could it have happened only after they left?
Yang Wudi's thoughts raced.
He then took out a booklet from his pocket and tossed it to Li Xun: "Take it."
"Thank you, Senior. My Teacher will be arriving soon, and the specific details can be discussed between you and him."
Li Xun quickly caught it, not bothering to look through it, and directly placed it into his Soul Guiding Device.
"Sect Master Ning certainly holds our Breaking Clan in high regard," Yang Wudi said with a grin.
"Not at all, not at all. My Teacher often speaks of you," Li Xun replied with a smile.
When his Teacher hears this news, he'll probably be overjoyed. A personal visit is nothing in comparison.
"Since you're free now, Senior, I'd like to go see Brother Yang," Li Xun said, cupping his hands in respect.
Yang Wudi stood up: "It's good to see that little rascal. He's been talking about you often too."
In the backyard of the Yang residence.
"Brother Yang, it's been a year since we last met, and you're glowing! Is it because of the engagement?" Li Xun teased with a smile.
Yang Qianjun shyly scratched his head: "I have to thank you, Brother Li. If it weren't for this matter, the elders in my family wouldn't have arranged the engagement for us."
"I'm practically half a matchmaker, so I won't ask you for a wedding gift," Li Xun laughed, taking out three silver cards from his Soul Guiding Device: "Here's a thousand Gold Soul Coins as my wedding gift."
"Brother Li, don't get me in trouble. Last time I came back, my grandfather beat me so badly I was bedridden for three months. I dare not accept this money."
Seeing the three silver cards, Yang Qianjun's first reaction wasn't joy but fear.
"Brother Yang, don't be afraid. This money is part of our deal."
Li Xun stuffed the three silver cards into Yang Qianjun's hand: "I've already discussed the cooperation with your grandfather. Soon, we'll both be part of the same sect."
"This..." Yang Qianjun was stunned, as if he hadn't expected his grandfather to agree to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Li Xun pretended to be angry.
Yang Qianjun snapped out of it and pushed the silver cards back into Li Xun's hand: "I can't accept this money. I was in a hurry before and took my grandfather's things to sell for money.
If you want to give money, give it to my grandfather. Besides, we have a contract, and my grandfather won't go back on his word."
Although the engagement happened because of this, he didn't escape punishment, so he dared not accept this money.
Li Xun laughed and stuffed the silver cards back into Yang Qianjun's arms: "Brother Yang, Senior Yang has already given me the Pharmacopeia.
Because of our matter, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Breaking Clan have reached a cooperation to produce and sell medicine together. Compared to the future profits, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket."
"Brother Li... don't lie to me. Three thousand Gold Soul Coins aren't even a fraction? How much money are we talking about?" Yang Qianjun looked incredulous.
Li Xun chuckled and slowly extended his index finger: "Your clan will make at least one million Gold Soul Coins in profit every year.
So Senior Yang didn't even ask about our contract. You can accept this money with peace of mind."
"One million!" Yang Qianjun exclaimed in shock.
Li Xun nodded with a smile: "But this money has nothing to do with you."
"Hehe, isn't my grandfather's mine as well?" Yang Qianjun scratched his head and grinned foolishly. "Perfect timing that you're here. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Aren't you under house arrest?" Li Xun looked Yang Qianjun up and down.
"No big deal, just a beating. I'm used to it by now." Perhaps emboldened by money, Yang Qianjun spoke nonchalantly.
"Alright then, let's go. I actually have something I want to discuss with you. We can talk as we walk." Li Xun nodded with a smile.
The two walked towards the mansion's exit, encountering Yang Wudi and Sword Douluo along the way.
Yang Qianjun, who had been so carefree moments ago, suddenly became as timid as a quail. Fortunately, Yang Wudi merely glanced in their direction before ignoring them, chatting and laughing as he led Sword Douluo away.
Once outside the mansion, the two strolled leisurely down the street.
Li Xun pondered for a moment before speaking. "Brother Yang, to be honest, I came here with another purpose. I want to invite you to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and form a team with me for the upcoming Soul Master Competition."
Yu Tianheng's withdrawal had taken three team members with him, leaving their team short of the required number for the competition. Li Xun's goal was to recruit Yang Qianjun into the team.
Although he didn't know Yang Qianjun's exact Soul Power level, the Soul Piercing Lance Martial Soul was undoubtedly stronger than the noble trash at the academy.
"Brother Li, my Soul Power is only at level 27. Am I even qualified to join the team?" Yang Qianjun's eyes lit up.
He had been under house arrest for a long time, eagerly awaiting Li Xun's arrival. To his surprise, Li Xun brought him one pleasant surprise after another.
"I haven't asked, how old are you, Brother Yang?" Li Xun's heart stirred.
Yang Qianjun scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. "I'm fourteen this year."
"Haha, that's more than enough." Li Xun laughed.
As a top-tier Martial Soul, the Soul Piercing Lance could hold its own even if its Soul Power was significantly lower than its peers, let alone Yang Qianjun's level, which was catching up to Dugu Yan's.
"Hehe, that's good to hear."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked down the street.
Suddenly.
A small figure fell from a second-floor window ahead.
Li Xun was startled but reacted quickly. With a flash, he caught the small figure mid-air.
Before he could land, two energy attacks followed from the window.
Li Xun's eyes narrowed. He activated his Spiritual Energy and performed another Flash Step, disappearing just as the attacks were about to hit.
Only a faint afterimage remained where he had been.
The two energy attacks passed through the afterimage, striking the street's stone slabs.
The inch-thick slabs shattered instantly, scattering in all directions, leaving a shallow pit about a meter in diameter.
Seeing the destructive power, Li Xun's heart sank. He looked up at the second-floor window.
Two masked figures were looking down, their eyes meeting his.
Perhaps realizing the street wasn't the best place to act, the two masked figures withdrew their gazes and retreated into the building.
Li Xun didn't pursue them. Instead, he looked down at the girl in his arms. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine." Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned, responding in a low voice.
She had prepared herself when she broke through the window, but she hadn't expected to be caught mid-air.
Her mind was in a daze, and she didn't know what to say.
Looking at the young girl in his arms, whose figure was already developing, Li Xun felt somewhat awkward.
Just as he was about to put the girl down, he noticed a wound about three inches long on her left shoulder.
It was bleeding profusely.
"Can you put me down first?" Feeling the strong arms holding her, Zhu Zhuqing's pale face flushed with a hint of redness.
Li Xun gently placed the warm and soft figure in his arms onto the ground: "To avoid excessive blood loss, it's best to bandage the wound on your shoulder quickly."
