Chapter 398: 376 Tang San: How come it’s Chu Qin again!!_1
"I wonder if Lan Jing’er has come back!" Tang San said with a faint smile after a moment of concentration on his Inner Strength.
Back in the waters around Sea God Island, the blue-haired young man Lan Jing’er saved was none other than Tang San himself.
It is worth mentioning that Lan Jing’er hit it off with Tang San right from the start, and she was also extremely curious and fond of Tang San’s hidden weapons, while Tang San was equally interested in Lan Jing’er’s soul tool crafting skills. Thus, the two often spent time together to exchange and study their knowledge.
Their bond was incredibly strong, and there was a moment when Tang San felt that he had experienced the feeling of love again, the only time his heart had stirred since Xiaowu!
Thinking of Lan Jing’er, Tang San’s eyes brimmed with surprise and joy, and he couldn’t help but cast his gaze onto the Zhuge magic crossbow on the table.
"This Zhuge magic crossbow, made with soul guidance technology, is several times more powerful than before. Lan Jing’er will definitely love it!" Tang San said with a smile.
Then, Tang San’s expression changed slightly, his face hardened as he said, "Once I fully learn Lan Jing’er’s soul guidance technology, I will surely have the chance to kill Chu Qin and avenge my ancestor!"
"Chu Qin, the debt you owe me, I will make you pay back double one day!"
"Young Master Tang, the Young Master has already returned!" At that moment, a follower of the Holy Spirit Cult walked in and reported to Tang San.
"She’s back? Where is she!" Tang San exclaimed with excitement.
"She’s in the Young Master’s room!"
Tang San, slightly surprised, immediately picked up the Zhuge magic crossbow with excitement and left the room.
In the room, Lan Jing’er sat on a chair, appearing somewhat exhausted, her thoughts in turmoil. And the reason for her confusion was simple—it was all because of one person: Chu Qin!
"Impossible, impossible, I can’t believe I’m thinking about that jerk!" Lan Jing’er said with a struggle in her voice and an ugly expression on her face. "After all, he’s the bastard who almost killed the Sect Hierarch, and even the Demon Emperor!"
Although Lan Jing’er tried to convince herself that Chu Qin was a jerk and her greatest enemy, whenever she thought of Chu Qin’s teasing, smiling face, it left her infatuated, filled with joy.
At the same time, Lan Jing’er felt that Chu Qin could have had the chance to kill Longhuang, but it seemed that it was because of her calling him "mother" that Chu Qin held back!
Moreover, it seemed that Chu Qin had said he wanted to teach her thoroughly!
"Could it be that he has feelings for me too!" Lan Jing’er suddenly thought, her beautiful eyes widening in realization.
"Ah, Lan Jing’er, Lan Jing’er, what are you even thinking!" Lan Jing’er buried her head in her arms on the table, her fists pounding on the surface. Her mind was a mess, a complete tangle!
"Mirror Young Master!" Just at that moment, Gu You walked into the room.
"Gu You, what is it?" Lan Jing’er said with some impatience.
"Mirror Young Master, Tang San requests an audience. He says he has combined his soul guidance technology with his Zhuge magic crossbow and wants you to take a look!" Gu You reported.
"Really?" Lan Jing’er said with surprise in her voice. In addition to being extraordinarily talented, Lan Jing’er was a genius obsessed with soul tools to the extreme. At the young age of twenty-seven, she had become the youngest Ninth-Rank Spirit Guide in the Sun-Moon Empire. And if she could complete her Number Seven Deadly Weapon, she would be the only existing level 19 soul Master in the Sun-Moon Empire, naturally also the youngest!
"Yes!" Gu You nodded, and his excited demeanor seemed genuine.
"Tang San’s Zhuge magic crossbow is very powerful, and paired with our Sun-Moon Empire’s unique soul guidance technology, it should be incredibly potent!" Gu You added.
"Let him in!" Lan Jing’er quickly responded.
"Okay!" Gu You nodded in reply.
Soon, Gu You led Tang San into the room.
"Tang San, I heard that you’ve combined the Zhuge magic crossbow with soul guidance technology?" Lan Jing’er asked with a hint of surprise.
"Yes!" Tang San nodded excitedly, "I promised to succeed within a week. How about that, I didn’t lie to you, did I?"
"Quick, show me!" Lan Jing’er said with a smile. As she spoke, she took the Zhuge magic crossbow from Tang San’s hand.
After examining it, Lan Jing’er couldn’t hide her excitement and praised him, "Indeed, Tang San, you are truly a genius! In just seven days, you’ve cracked such a complex technology!"
"I’m flattered!" Tang San responded modestly, "Lan Jing’er, I want to try combining other hidden weapons with soul guidance technology as well, especially high-level soul tools like the Phoenix-Tailed Cuckoo, Peacock Feather, and Guanyin’s Tears. If I can do that, I think killing a Titled Douluo with my bare hands should be no problem!"
"Killing a Titled Douluo with bare hands?" Lan Jing’er and Gu You were both taken aback.
"Yes!" Seeing their astonished expressions, Tang San felt quite satisfied; this was the impressive effect he was going for, "My hidden weapons are already incredibly lethal. If I can combine them with soul guidance technology, then they’ll be even more formidable!"
"But..." Tang San continued.
"But what?" Gu You inquired.
"Lan Jing’er, to combine something as complex as the Peacock Feather, I’ll need higher level soul guidance technology. You’ve only taught me how to make up to fifth level soul tools, which might not be enough!" Tang San replied.
The expressions on Lan Jing’er and Gu You’s faces changed slightly, and after a pause, the former responded, "Techniques for crafting soul tools above level six are top secret within the Holy Spirit Cult. However, Tang San, I can teach them to you, but you must also teach me the crafting techniques for things like the Peacock Feather. I want to fuse hidden weapons into my Number Seven Deadly Weapon and create the most powerful soul tool in history!"
"No problem!" Tang San agreed eagerly. This gave him even more opportunities to spend time alone with Lan Jing’er!
"I’m free right now, so let’s get started!" Lan Jing’er added.
"Sure!" Tang San readily consented.
However, in the next moment, Lan Jing’er, Gu You, and Tang San’s expressions shifted subtly as they saw an iron arrow penetrate through the window screen and embed itself squarely into the mahogany table!
"Who’s there!" The three of them immediately rushed to the window, but they found nothing and couldn’t even discern the direction from which the arrow had been shot!
This left the three of them completely surprised. After all, they were in the core area of the Holy Spirit Cult’s base!
"Did you see anyone just now?" Gu You halted a patrolling squad to ask.
"No, Elder!"
The patrol squad captain responded with a perplexed face.
"This is strange!" Gu You’s face was a mix of incredulity and anger, "Who would dare to attempt an assassination on the Young Master within the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"It can’t be an assassination attempt!" Tang San remarked, "This person is extremely skilled. If I’m not mistaken, the iron arrow was shot from a great distance, yet it didn’t shatter the table!"
"Indeed!" Gu You nodded in agreement.
Lan Jing’er suddenly thought of something and ran back inside the house.
Sure enough, she found a small note tied to the iron arrow.
With excitement and curiosity, Lan Jing’er immediately unfolded the note, which contained several lines of highly artistic calligraphy, "Lan Jing’er, do you want to know the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor? Come alone to the Seaview Grand Hotel in Seaside City. You must not tell anyone, or you will never know the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor—Chu Qin!"
