Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Return to Holy Soul Village, Persuasion

When Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong saw the small booklet in front of them, they were both a bit surprised. Not only did they gain an extra skill due to this situation, but they also received a booklet detailing Yu Xiaogang's life.

However, they both knew that the system essentially sold them out.

But neither of them cared too much about it. After all, Su Ming didn't know they had copies of his diary, so they could still continue receiving rewards. It was a win-win!

Liu Erlong, in particular, felt relieved. She thought that her impulsive personality really needed to be tempered.

One could only say: this system is truly crafty. Its ability to deceive is truly top-notch.

A few days later, Su Ming and Dugu Bo finally arrived at Holy Soul Village.

Su Ming didn't immediately go to see Grandpa Jack but first went to the back mountain to investigate something. As he thought, the location where the soul bone was stored had already been moved.

Seeing Su Ming's strange actions, Dugu Bo didn't ask any questions, trusting that Su Ming had his reasons for doing things.

Afterward, the two of them entered the village, and it just so happened that Grandpa Jack was at home.

Su Ming cheerfully called out, "Grandpa Jack, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Hearing this voice, Grandpa Jack immediately recognized who it was. Turning around, he saw Su Ming, and noticing how much Su Ming had grown, a broad smile spread across his face.

"It's Su Ming! You've come back. The year's not over yet—did your academy give you an early break?"

Su Ming hadn't seen Grandpa Jack in a while, so he ran up to him for a hug, and they caught up, talking about what had happened over the past few months.

Of course, Su Ming knew which details he should share and which ones he shouldn't.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, stood outside. Since Su Ming was chatting with family, he didn't want to intrude. Instead, he quietly sensed the village's dynamics, trying to figure out how many people lived there.

As Su Ming talked about his experiences, Grandpa Jack played the role of a good listener. He smiled when Su Ming mentioned his progress in strength, but when Su Ming spoke of his conflicts with stronger opponents, Grandpa Jack frowned with concern.

When Su Ming felt the timing was right, he said, "Grandpa Jack, the reason I came back this time is to take you and the villagers away from here, to settle near Heaven Dou City."

After saying this, Su Ming waited for Grandpa Jack's response. He knew how much Holy Soul Village meant to Grandpa Jack, but for their safety, he had to convince him.

Grandpa Jack fell silent, clearly taken aback by Su Ming's proposal. He didn't immediately argue because he understood Su Ming's personality.

After a moment, Grandpa Jack finally spoke, "Su Ming, I know you wouldn't say something like this for no reason. Can you tell me why we have to leave the village?"

He didn't believe it was merely for the village's development. After all, each time Su Ming returned, he brought plenty of goods and gold soul coins that had significantly improved the villagers' quality of life.

Su Ming then explained, "Grandpa Jack, I mentioned earlier that I've had a falling out with Tang San."

Grandpa Jack nodded, signaling for Su Ming to continue.

"And I've learned that Tang San's father, Tang Hao, is no ordinary man. He's a powerful Titled Douluo. I'm worried that you might be in danger."

Grandpa Jack was stunned. "What? You're saying Tang San's father, Tang Hao—the scruffy man—is a Titled Douluo? But just because you've had a falling out with Tang San, does that mean he'll come after us simple villagers? I've scolded him plenty before, and he never bothered with me."

Su Ming shook his head. "Grandpa, you're overestimating him. Back then, he was just pretending or didn't care to argue with you. At that time, Tang San hadn't even awakened his martial soul yet. Now, Tang San is one of the rare dual martial soul possessors on the continent. There's no telling what Tang Hao might do for his son."

"Every time Tang San sought me out, I defeated him. Now that we've completely fallen out, who knows what Tang Hao will do? Oh, and by the way, Tang Hao is from one of the three great sects, the Clear Sky Sect. He's basically nobility, and we're just common folk."

"You know how most nobles are, don't you, Grandpa?"

"And there's something else, even more important."

Grandpa Jack asked, "What is it?"

Su Ming took a deep breath and said, "Tang San also has feelings for Xiao Wu, but now Xiao Wu is my girlfriend. You remember her, right? The little girl I bring to visit you every year?"

Grandpa Jack smiled. "Of course, I remember her! I was wondering why you didn't bring her this time. I knew you two would end up together. Grandpa's intuition was spot on!"

"Now, what do we do? Tang San couldn't win her over, and his father is a Titled Douluo. Won't that put you in danger?"

Su Ming laughed, "Don't worry about me, Grandpa. I've been fortunate enough to befriend a powerful Titled Douluo during my travels. Even if he can't defeat Tang Hao, he'll have no problem getting me to safety."

"My only concern is your safety and the villagers'. That's why I've come back to take you all away."

Grandpa Jack was astonished to hear that the person outside was a Titled Douluo. How could he possibly let someone like that wait outside? After all, Su Ming had come to ask for his help!

Without saying a word to Su Ming, Grandpa Jack hurried outside and respectfully said, "Dear Titled Douluo, please, come inside. I can't believe Su Ming left you out here—please don't be offended."

Dugu Bo, seeing Grandpa Jack being so respectful, glanced inside at Su Ming and tried to appear kind. "You don't need to be so formal, old man. Su Ming and I have a relationship that's more like mentor and friend. Treat me as you would anyone else. I chose to wait outside on my own."

"Su Ming already told me the reason for our visit. Have you had a chance to discuss it? I hope you don't dismiss his words as trivial matters. We're doing this to be cautious."

"Su Ming can't always be close by, and if something were to happen to you because of him, he'd feel terrible. After all, you're his only family. By moving you closer to him, it would ease his mind."


Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Desolate Holy Soul Village, Return to Heaven Dou City

Grandpa Jack stood there in a daze. Initially, he thought Su Ming must have paid a hefty price to hire a powerful Titled Douluo for protection, but to learn they were actually friends? Su Ming had really come a long way!

Grandpa Jack chuckled, "Well, if that's how it is, then there's no choice. We'll leave."

After saying this, he stared at the familiar scenery of the village, filled with reluctance. Over the years, thanks to Su Ming's yearly contributions, the village had improved steadily. But now, they had no choice but to leave.

Su Ming understood Grandpa Jack's attachment to the village. He walked over and gently consoled him, "Grandpa Jack, this is just temporary. We'll come back one day when it's safe."

Grandpa Jack shook his head. He doubted they would ever return. As mere commoners, how could they ever hope to contend with someone as powerful as Tang Hao? Su Ming had protection from a Titled Douluo, but they did not. Staying here would only worry Su Ming further, so Grandpa Jack didn't hold onto any illusions of coming back.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Grandpa Jack's mind: while the village wasn't large, there were still quite a few people. "Su Ming, how are we going to move the entire village?"

Su Ming explained, "Grandpa Jack, I have a way, but it might be a bit uncomfortable for you all."

He went on to describe his plan, explaining that Dugu Bo had given him a large soul tool capable of storing living beings. He framed it this way to keep Grandpa Jack from overthinking.

Grandpa Jack was astonished. He never imagined such things existed—truly, soul masters lived in a different world!

"No need to feel uncomfortable. You've even placed wooden houses and furniture inside for us. That's more than enough."

"Well then, since we still have some daylight, I'll go gather the villagers, and we'll pack up. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Su Ming nodded, indicating he had no issue with the plan.

Initially, he wanted to tell Grandpa Jack there was no need to pack, as they could easily acquire new items once they reached their destination. But waiting an extra day or two wouldn't hurt, and taking everything would prevent raising suspicions.

Everything went smoothly. Unlike Tang San, Su Ming not only returned every year, but he also brought gifts to improve the villagers' lives. Over time, his influence had far surpassed Grandpa Jack's.

When he and Grandpa Jack announced the plan to leave for a better life near Heaven Dou City, no one objected.

Early the next morning, after Su Ming had stored everyone inside the soul tool, he gave Dugu Bo a nod. "Old Monster, you can start. Just be mindful."

Dugu Bo smirked. "Little Monster, I'm not the same as before. Controlling this little bit of poison is child's play for me!"

Summoning his martial spirit, Dugu Bo released a subtle corrosive toxin, spreading it throughout the village. The toxin withered plants and weakened structures, creating an appearance of desolation. Some of the houses couldn't withstand the corrosion and began collapsing.

When everything looked sufficiently ruined, Dugu Bo withdrew the poison. "How's that? Looks abandoned enough, doesn't it?"

Su Ming nodded in satisfaction. "Perfect. It looks like no one has lived here for years."

Indeed, Dugu Bo had grown much stronger. Now, even when using his ninth soul skill, he could retrieve his toxins without the issues he faced in the original story.

After some time, Su Ming and Dugu Bo returned to Heaven Dou City, realizing they'd been gone for nearly two months.

In the royal palace of Heaven Dou, Qian Renxue had already stationed people to watch for their return. Once she received word that Su Ming and Dugu Bo had re-entered the city, she began making preparations to approach Su Ming within the next few days. After all, if he disappeared again, she wouldn't even have time to cry about it.

Upon returning, Su Ming and Dugu Bo parted ways. Su Ming handed Dugu Bo the immortal herb meant for Dugu Yan, advising him that if she hadn't yet obtained her fourth soul ring, she should wait. Absorbing both the herb and the Eight Spider Lances soul bone beforehand would allow her to surpass the theoretical limits of the fourth ring.

Afterward, Su Ming used his spiritual sense to locate Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were currently attending a class in one of the academy's classrooms.

Seeing Xiao Wu's bored expression, Su Ming couldn't help but chuckle.

At that moment, Xiao Wu noticed Su Ming standing outside the door. Excited, she jumped up from her seat. "Brother! You're back!"

Forgetting that they were in class, Xiao Wu instantly teleported to Su Ming, wrapping her arms around him and burying her head in his chest, savoring the familiar scent she had missed for so long.

Su Ming smiled helplessly and approached the teacher, who was frowning with displeasure. Bowing slightly, he apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher. I've been away for a while, so my sister got a little excited."

The teacher recognized Su Ming immediately. "So, you're the Su Ming who disappeared for two months after enrolling?"

Su Ming felt a little awkward. Disappearing right after enrolling didn't exactly give a great impression. "I apologize, teacher. I was away training with Senior Dugu Bo, and only just returned."

"And as I recall, when we enrolled, the academy granted us certain privileges, allowing us to prioritize training over attending regular classes."

At the mention of Dugu Bo, the teacher's irritation vanished, replaced by a polite smile. "Of course, of course. I was only concerned about your sudden disappearance. Since you were training with Senior Dugu Bo, there's no problem."

"As for classes, feel free to attend or skip them as you see fit."

Seeing the teacher was so accommodating, Su Ming didn't press the matter further. When they had enrolled, the students had displayed their immense strength, so it was natural they would be granted special privileges. The academy was counting on them to shine in the upcoming soul master tournament, after all.

Su Ming waved over Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Once they joined him and Xiao Wu, the group left together.

Meanwhile, the male students in the class looked on in jealousy, gnashing their teeth as they watched Su Ming leave with the academy's three goddesses. Why him? Just because he was handsome and strong?

The female students, on the other hand, gazed at Su Ming with admiration, wishing they were the ones by his side.
