Tang San could see from behind that Hu Liena's fists were closed tightly, apparently as if restraining herself. She didn't say anything, only had a quiet expression.
To the side, Xie Yue always watched him, but making something out from Tang San's face was harder than scaling to Heaven.
How could Yan have expected Hu Liena would actually say something like this to him? Feeling wronged, unreconciled, angry, pained, all kinds of emotions constantly dashed in his heart. But confronting Hu Liena, he was still unable to flare up.
Gazing past Hu Liena, glare firmly fixed on Tang San, snorting angrily, he turned and walked in the direction of the camp.
"Now can I leave? Miss Hu Liena."
Tang San said indifferently.
Hu Liena turned around. Looking at the first man to move her heart, for some reason, she panicked somewhat.
Quickly stepping forward, reaching Tang San, Hu Liena apologetically said:
"I'm sorry, just now Yan was too impetuous. Don't mind it. Are you in such a hurry to leave? It would be better to stay in our camp. We haven't met for more than a year either, we can just chat about what we've learned with the Deathgod Domain."
Tang San waved his hand,
"No need. Still not being part of your Spirit Hall's camp everyone will see me as an enemy. When I leave, wouldn't that be seen as stealing information? I can't bear that."
"You..."
Hu Liena looked at his thousand miles distant manner, and recalling that vanished grace from before, for a moment someone as intelligent as her was unexpectedly left somewhat speechless.
"Nana, just now you said that he also has the Deathgod Domain? Won't you give us an introduction?"
Xie Yue walked up next to his little sister. He and Yan were different. Once the number one of the Golden Generation, his attitude was a lot steadier than Yan's. He was even more interested in Tang San. To be able to make his little sister change, this youth wasn't simple.
Hu Liena looked at her brother,
"Tang Yin, this is my big brother. Ge, he's called Tang Yin. Back when I was in Slaughter City, I walked the final Hell Road with him. Without his assistance, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me again."
Xie Yue had already guessed somewhat, and he also wasn't very surprised when he heard what she said, but his eyes displayed some gratitude,
"Then I must thank you. You are Nana's saviour."
Tang San shook his head,
"Don't mention it, at that time we helped each other. We had the same goal It's very late, I still need to find a place to rest, I won't disturb you."
In order to capture, one must let loose, Tang San used this to the limit. He was betting, betting that Hu Liena would ask him to stay.
"You still can't leave."
Just at this moment, a cold voice resounded. Tang San only felt everything flash before his eyes, the next moment, there was already a shadow in front of him. He of course recognized it, it was Ghost Douluo.
"Grandpa Gui. Why did you come?"
Hu Liena cried out in surprise. In seniority, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were even one generation above Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. Therefore the Golden Generation called them 'grandpa' in private, and addressed them as 'elder' on formal occasions.
Ghost Douluo's face still couldn't be seen clearly, but his voice was very steady, and also very concise,
"I heard your conversation just now. There's one thing Yan said that wasn't wrong. If he alerts our target, leading to all our effort being wasted, even me and Chrysanthemum Guan couldn't swallow the sin. Nana, you should know how important our target is to Her Holiness this time."
A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes,
"Then in other words, you're demanding I stay?"
He slowly raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Hu Liena couldn't keep her heart from worrying,
"Grandpa Gui. He wouldn't. He's my friend. How about, we advise him to leave the Star Dou Great Forest first?"
Ghost Douluo smiled calmly, saying:
"Concern causes confusion, concern causes confusion! Nana, this isn't like the clever you. Don't tell me our goal wouldn't appear on the outskirts of the forest? Any direction he leaves in, there's a chance he'll disturb the target. Even if the possibility is only one in ten thousand, we still have to avert it as much as possible."
Hu Liena's charming face reddened, but she still hadn't caught any intent to kill in Ghost Douluo's words.
"That you can't leave doesn't mean we must be harmful to you. Youngster, we only want you to temporarily cooperate with us, come with us on the way. Once we've succeeded in our purpose, we'll naturally give you your liberty. Didn't you come to kill your sixth spirit beast? I can promise to help you choose a most suitable one. Consider it reciprocation, how about it? Our Spirit Hall isn't a dictatorship. Just a Spirit Master organization."
Tang San was amazed as he listened to Ghost Douluo, and even Hu Liena and Xie Yue were somewhat shocked. Ghost Douluo was always known as gloomy and cold, when did he become so well spoken?
"Fine, I agree."
Tang San's reply equally startled Xie Yue and his sister.
Hu Liena somewhat shocked asked:
"You agree?"
Tang San calmly said:
"Without the ability to resist, but still able to profit, why wouldn't I agree? Only, even if I travel together with you, I won't help you."
Ghost Douluo loftily said:
"Spirit Hall has still never needed help from others. Xie Yue, first take him to find a place in the camp, he stays together with you and Yan. Nana, you stay, I have something to talk to you about."
Xie Yue deferentially said:
"Yes."
Afterwards making an inviting gesture to Tang San, he took the lead to walk away.
Now, Tang San's always nervous heart finally calmed, the goal of the first stepped had been reached. This was practically the best result he hoped for.
Looking at the two entering the forest darkness, Ghost Douluo said to Hu Liena:
"Know why I want him to stay?"
Hu Liena shook her head,
"It wouldn't be because there's a risk he'll alert the target anyway. Only Yan would reach a conclusion like that. With Star Dou Great Forest's size, let alone the possibility of him coming across that spirit beast, even if he did, that spirit beast still wouldn't be on guard because of him."
Ghost Douluo smiled:
"That's our clever Sacred Maiden. I had him stay because he might help us settle a large problem."
Hu Liena's heart twitched,
"You mean, Clear Sky School?"
Ghost Douluo nodded slowly,
"That's right. It seems that he should be very dissatisfied. He said two times that he's a free person. Perhaps that was an unconscious emphasis, but at least it could prove that his relationship with the Clear Sky School isn't harmonious, even to the extent that he might have already separated from the Clear Sky School. If it's like that, then it's undoubtedly a great benefit to us. If we can learn some of Clear Sky School's internal circumstances from his mouth, it would be a very great advantage to Her Holiness' Spirit Hunting Operation follow up."
Even though Hu Liena knew intellectually that she should support Ghost Douluo, but when she thought about dealing with Tang Yin's sect, she couldn't help feeling somewhat apprehensive,
"Grandpa Gui, we already roughly know the location of the Clear Sky School by now, we just haven't moved because we haven't completely investigated them. Why should we need to involve someone like him? With his age, at most he's only a third generation disciple, it's impossible for him to know much about the Clear Sky School's internal secrets."
Gui Mei smiled,
"Silly girl, concern really causes confusion! The Clear Sky School matter is only one reason to have him stay. The other is for you. It seems you already like that kid. I have to admit that he's indeed very outstanding, in no way inferior to Xie Yue and Yan. Considered a good match for you. Even more when he possesses the same Deathgod Domain as you. Undoubtedly an outstanding talent."
"But, if you want to be together with him, his identity is a major problem. If he can join Spirit Hall, and moreover establish some contributions, obtain promotions, then, Her Holiness should also more easily accept him."
"That's impossible."
Even though she blushed a bit, Hu Liena still immediately denied Ghost Douluo's words,
"Grandpa Gui, how could I persuade him to go against his own sect? Actually, the Clear Sky School is already in seclusion, must we insist on exterminating them to the last?"
Gui Mei lowered his voice:
"Nana, don't say something like that in front of Her Holiness. Her Holiness' hatred for the Clear Sky School is extremely deep. If she had to choose only one of three, then of the three upper sects she would definitely exterminate the Clear Sky School. Back then Tang Hao killed the late Pontiff, putting Her Holiness in such pain as to not want to live. Us and the Clear Sky School are as incompatible as fire and water. Furthermore, leaving behind this once number one under Heaven sect, is a bomb that might explode at any time. Thus, the Clear Sky School must be destroyed."
Hu Liena still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ghost Douluo's raised hand,
"If you want his best, then convince him to join Spirit Hall. There will inevitably be a way to settle things. At least our Spirit Hunting Operation will always be kept confidential. As for the final decision, that's not for you and me to make, everything still follows Her Holiness' will. But, you and him standing together, it really is a very good match. This youngster's temperament is also quite good. Back then when you left Slaughter City, he still didn't take advantage of you under such circumstances, remarkable."
