Chapter 134 "Dongfeng Express", Go Easy on Me
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes gradually narrowed.
This was both unexpected and reasonable for him.
Shrek Academy will be sent to its death by two level-12 fixed-position soul-guided cannons in a few years at most, so the connection between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Ancient Family must have started much earlier.
What he didn't expect was that the Holy Spirit Cult's schemes were also widespread and multifaceted.
"Brother, I heard that you have a close relationship with the Spirit Pagoda. You must be more careful, because the Ghost Emperor and his group want those two level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannons in the Federation. Although I don't know where they will land yet, the power of a level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon is enough to annihilate any city."
On the other end of the communication soul tool, Nanali continued speaking to Jiang Xiu with a worried tone, after all, the level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was the Federation's most lethal weapon to date.
Under the attack of fixed-position soul-guided shells of this level, all beings are truly equal.
One shell can turn even the most complete stranger into an acquaintance.
"Of course I know that. Be careful in the Holy Spirit Cult as well. The Ghost Emperor and the Dark Hummingbird are not easy to deal with." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly and gave a soft reminder.
"Little brother, are you worried about your older sister? Hehehe." Dark Bell giggled.
"..." Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "Get some rest. Contact me if you need anything."
After saying that, Jiang Xiu hung up the call.
"An ancient family, an eternal east wind..." Jiang Xiu murmured to himself, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"This eternal east wind is truly the Dongfeng Express; it's absolutely committed to bombing Shrek Academy."
However, Jiang Xiu quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts and sorted out his ideas about the Spirit Pagoda.
Currently, the Spirit Pagoda is dominated by the Qian Gu Family, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a one-man show. The Leng Family's position is being increasingly marginalized, and even Leng Yi, the deputy tower master, is being gradually sidelined.
What he truly feared was not Qian Gu Dong Feng or Qian Gu Zhang Ting, but the old man of the Qian Gu family who had already retired to the background.
That person's strength has reached the pinnacle of the human soul master world, possessing the cultivation level of a Limit Douluo quasi-god.
In other words, the Qian Gu family's current status is inseparable from this old man.
Unlike Qian Gu Dongfeng, this old man was not narrow-minded. He was able to clearly distinguish right from wrong in the face of major issues, and even burned his own source to unleash a divine strike when fighting against the Abyss Plane.
What troubled Jiang Xiu was that the old man possessed a divine artifact that could foretell future fortunes, so he had to be careful not to act rashly in order to help Aunt Leng rise to power, and had to proceed step by step.
"A new storm has arrived; let me see who can stand firm."
Though his tone was soft, it was extremely firm. Jiang Xiu silently gazed at the distant neon lights, a ripple occasionally appearing in his deep purple eyes.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in a room filled with girlish charm, a twin-tailed girl with bells in her ears was holding a communication soul tool. Her dark red eyes were filled with laughter, and her fair legs swung back and forth, clearly very happy.
……
The next day.
early morning.
"Bang bang bang!" A crisp knocking sound rang out.
"Boss, get up and have breakfast. There's a pretty good steamed bun shop across from our hotel."
Immediately afterwards, Na'er's voice rang out.
"Coming," Jiang Xiu replied softly, having already finished washing up.
Since he began practicing, he has replaced sleep with meditation, and he feels more energetic the next day after meditating.
"Squeak!" The door opened, and Na'er stood gracefully outside, dressed in a white dress, her beautiful eyes clear and bright.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiu leave, she immediately grabbed his shoulder, "Elbow! Let's go check out the restaurant and see if it's any good."
"Slow down." Jiang Xiu smiled helplessly and prepared to close the door.
Just then, a slender young woman walked from the corridor in the distance, her azure eyes filled with determination. When she looked up and saw Jiang Xiu and Na'er, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked forward.
The girl's appearance naturally caught the attention of Na'er and Jiang Xiu. Na'er raised an eyebrow and asked with some confusion, "Isn't this Ye Xinglan from Shrek Academy? It seems she's here to see us?"
"Be more confident, and remove the 'seems'," Jiang Xiu said softly, looking at Ye Xinglan who was almost in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Na'er's pretty face instantly turned wary. She immediately shielded Jiang Xiu behind her, her gaze cautious as she asked, "What... what do you do?"
Ye Xinglan stopped in her tracks and said seriously, "Jiang Xiu, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to know how you defeated us in an instant yesterday, and how I was completely powerless to resist that attack afterward."
"You are very strong, and I want to learn from you."
Finally, Ye Xinglan added a sentence, looking at Jiang Xiu with a firm gaze.
This morning, she learned from Teacher Shen Yi that Jiang Xiu was coming to Shrek Academy for an exchange program. Recalling her complete defeat yesterday, she made up her mind to come and ask Jiang Xiu for advice.
Only by learning from Jiang Xiu can she have a chance to catch up with, or even surpass, Jiang Xiu.
"Huh? What kind of amazing brain circuit is this?" Upon hearing Ye Xinglan's words, Na'er's wise brain unexpectedly went blank for a few seconds.
Learning from rivals is indeed a refreshing way of thinking.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. His understanding of Ye Xinglan was limited to challenging the strong and protecting glory, but he did not expect Ye Xinglan to be so obsessive and have such strong execution.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside? We have something urgent to attend to." Na'er gestured for them to leave.
"Jiang Xiu, I'm sincere. I hope you can spar with me in Shrek Academy in the future, and even help me become stronger. I don't care how you train me," Ye Xinglan said firmly. "I'm willing to do anything for that."
To be knocked down by the strong and then get back up—that is her motto.
"Have you had breakfast yet? How about I treat you to breakfast?" Ye Xinglan recalled the first time she met Na'er, and a thought flashed through her mind, so she took the initiative to invite her.
"We'll talk about that in the future. We need to focus on our cultivation now," Jiang Xiu said, waving his hand slightly.
"Are you going to cultivate? I'm sorry to bother you. I'll wait for your reply at Shrek Academy." Upon hearing the word "cultivation," a knowing look flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes, and she quickly stepped aside to make room for him.
In her heart, neither cultivation nor glory should be betrayed.
Na'er glanced at Ye Xinglan in surprise. She thought Ye Xinglan would be difficult to deal with. Then she walked with Jiang Xiu to the end of the corridor.
"If someone is this strong and still works so hard, I absolutely cannot fall behind!" Ye Xinglan thought to herself, her eyes becoming even more determined.
At that moment, a figure in the shadows of the corridor saw this scene and his eyes were filled with despair. He was Xu Lizhi, who was following Ye Xinglan.
He noticed something was off about Ye Xinglan early in the morning, so he followed her, and now he saw that it was true.
Moreover, his sister Xinglan actually took the initiative to find Jiang Xiu and even asked him to spar with her in the future.
"pain!"
"It hurts so much!"
For a moment, Xu Lizhi looked around and saw only desolation.
Just then, Ye Xinglan happened to turn the corner in the corridor and saw Xu Lizhi, who looked somewhat grief-stricken. She asked in surprise, "Little Fatty, what are you doing here?"
"No...no, Sister Xinglan, I just happened to be passing by." Xu Lizhi was startled and quickly waved his hand.
"I see." Ye Xinglan didn't have too many doubts, and after saying that, she prepared to walk away.
Xu Lizhi hurriedly followed behind, asking with eager eyes, "Sister Xinglan, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let me treat you to breakfast."
"No need, I'm going to cultivate."
Ye Xinglan spoke calmly, which immediately made Xu Lizhi pause in his tracks. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
Ye Xinglan quickly disappeared from Xu Lizhi's sight.
"If Sister Xinglan really spars with Jiang Xiu in the future, will she be bullied? This time she came to find Jiang Xiu in the early morning, will she come in the middle of the night in the future... No, she won't."
Watching Ye Xinglan's departing figure, Xu Lizhi's mind was in turmoil. He knew very well how decisive Xinglan was; if Jiang Xiu disagreed, she would definitely stick to her decision.
For a moment, all of Xu Lizhi's thoughts converged into one single idea.
"Jiang Xiu, when you train Xinglan in the future, you must be gentle!"
