Chapter 57: One of the Three Douluo Lickers, Flanders
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six years have passed.
Suo Tuo City.
"Brother Chuan, this store is so strange."
Xiao Wu pointed to the broken storefront and a tattered sign. There were no words on the sign, only a circular mark with swords, mammoths, and hammers.
Similar to the elder order issued by the Spirit Hall, the room was dark, with no lights on, and the interior was not visible.
"Let's go take a look?"
Qian Renchuan looked at the shabby shop and felt that something was waiting for him inside. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Tang San already rushing ahead.
"Xiao Sanzi, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, who had rushed in, with disapproval. She had no good feelings toward this follower, and he was delaying her and Qian Renchuan's quiet world.
"Hey, why bother with him? Let's go in and take a look."
In response, Qian Renchuan's eyes moved slightly. He knew Tang San was a little special and not inferior to him in terms of hidden weapons.
He thought they came from the same world, but what made him a little unhappy was that this kid was interested in Xiao Wu, which annoyed him.
He also harbored strong hostility toward the Spirit Hall, which made Qian Renchuan feel that this person had already chosen to die.
What is the Spirit Hall? It is his home and will be his property in the future. 'You are a waste. Even if you come from the same world as me, I must kill you.'
However, he was not going to rely on the power of his elders. Instead, he wanted to humiliate Tang San—who came from the same place as him—and make him regret being an enemy of the Spirit Hall.
As soon as he entered the shop, he found it was indeed pitch black inside. According to his memory, Tang San quickly located the crystal containing the dragon beard needle.
"Boss, how much is this hair crystal?"
Looking at Flanders, who was wearing glasses, with a hooked nose and a profiteer's face, Tang San felt a sense of familiarity. 'Shrek's companions, we will meet again soon.'
"One hundred gold soul coins."
Flanders looked up at the three of them and said lazily and casually.
"One thousand gold soul coins. I want it."
Qian Renchuan used his angel eyes and he could see clearly what was contained in the hair crystal. It held a large amount of gold hair, suitable for refining the eighth-ranked Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the dragon beard needle.
"Yinchuan, you!"
Tang San's teeth clenched, and he glared at Qian Renchuan who was bidding. If it weren't for Qian Renchuan, Xiao Wu would have been with him long ago.
'Damn, Yinchuan, you're already seeking death. When I become a god in the future, I'll be the first to make your life worse than death—you can't escape.'
"Ahem, this is fine, but you have to pay first."
Hearing the amount of one thousand gold soul coins, Flanders' eyes lit up. He immediately took the hair crystal from Tang San's hand and asked, "Customer, do you want to raise the bid? If not, this hair crystal belongs to this customer."
"Dean Flanders, you just agreed to sell it to me. How can you go back on your word?"
Tang San suppressed his anger. Although he knew Flanders was a little greedy, his greedy appearance was almost a provocation to him.
"Do you know who I am?"
Flanders looked at Tang San in surprise, thinking that his Shrek Academy had spread so far that even outsiders knew about it.
"I know you—the Flying Corner of the Golden Iron Triangle, the four-eyed cat owl Flanders. My teacher is the Wisdom Corner, and you are an old friend of my teacher."
Tang San lifted his old, wet jade-like hand.
"You are Xiaogang's disciple."
Flanders looked at Tang San and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of nostalgia and a hint of regret.
He was also an old licker, pushing his rival toward the woman he liked and gradually giving up.
"Forget it. After all, You are Xiaogang's disciple. This hair crystal is yours."
After all, Yu Xiaogang was an old friend he hadn't seen in many years, and his disciple was here—Yu Xiaogang, as a teacher, must come.
This Tang San has some brains—no longer blindly rushing to death but directly using his teacher's name to get close to Flanders.
"Okay." Qian Renchuan said indifferently, appearing very generous. He thought he could only ask his two uncles, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, to help him destroy the hair crystal. After all, if he couldn't get it, no one else could either. That was what his father told him, and in his opinion, his father's teachings were correct. As the future Pope of the Spirit Hall, he must not only be honest and keep promises but also be flexible in moving his bottom line. "Let's go, Xiao Wu. Let's book a room first. It's just right to have a good look around Suo Tuo City these days."
"Okay, let's go, Brother Chuan." Xiao Wu, hearing she could have fun, hugged Qian Renchuan's arm and hummed a little song. The two rabbit ears on her head bounced and touched each other. She ignored Tang San and pulled Qian Renchuan away.
"Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Xiao Wu walk away, Tang San was heartbroken and miserable. His 100,000-year soul ring seemed to be slipping away from him.
'I will bring Xiao Wu back.'
Seemingly noticing Tang San's somewhat ferocious expression, Flanders looked at the place where Xiao Wu and the others had left, and a slight smile appeared.
As expected of Xiaogang's apprentice—he had similar experiences to them.
However, to prevent Tang San from wasting Yu Xiaogang's careful teachings, Flanders said earnestly: "Tang San, right? You are Xiaogang's disciple, so I will call you Xiao San."
"Xiao San, you have a bright future ahead. Don't be confused by a woman. Focus on cultivation. I believe she will change her mind by then."
Seeing Flanders advising him, Tang San thought in his heart, 'The woman you secretly love is seduced by Yu Xiaogang, a waste. What do you know—a licking dog? I love Xiao Wu.'
"I understand, Dean Flanders."
But Xiao Wu was ignoring him now, which made Tang San a little discouraged. Fortunately, his father, Clear Sky Douluo, was nearby. He believed his father wouldn't let a transformed 100,000-year soul beast escape.
"That's good. You understand. Xiaogang wants you to join Shrek Academy."
Seeing Tang San quickly coming out of his sadness, Flanders smiled with relief, adjusted his round glasses, and asked.
"Yes, I am here to join Shrek Academy."
Thinking that he would soon join Shrek Academy and reunite with his companions from his previous life, Tang San's mood instantly lifted.
His companions were all noble, and his plan would continue. Although Yinchuan's accident had occurred, it had little impact.
As long as the Shrek Seven Devils regrouped and participated in the competition, he believed Xiao Wu would gradually change her mind in future contests.
Only Yinchuan, who would be a substitute in the Shrek Seven Devils, would watch him take Xiao Wu back again.
