Flender had no idea why Yu Xiaogang was acting this way today. Deep down, he had always held Wu Qi in high regard.
As for Liu Erlong...
Seeing Wu Qi and the others completely ignore Yu Xiaogang, her fiery temper couldn't tolerate it.
Her Fire Dragon Spirit manifested and rose into the air, blocking the path of Wu Qi's group.
An enraged Liu Erlong shouted, "Have you brats no manners at all?!"
Sun Buyu, who had remained silent until now, finally snapped back.
"Heh, so this is the level of professionalism shown by Shrek Academy's teachers?"
"No wonder you've raised a group of students with such twisted thinking."
"Move aside. Are you trying to make an enemy of Seven Treasure Academy? Let me remind you, if Sect Master Ning is angered, Shrek Academy won't need to exist anymore."
It wasn't that he liked borrowing the prestige of others. Liu Erlong was simply too powerful for him to handle.
And with Dugu Bo nowhere in sight, this was the only way he could protect his students.
Tang San quickly stepped forward, trying to play peacemaker.
"Teacher Erlong, please calm down. This is all a misunderstanding."
Yu Xiaogang sneered.
"Heh. What's the point of talking to them? Other than using their family backgrounds to pressure people, what else can they do?"
Ning Rongrong was thoroughly disgusted.
Yu Xiaogang was far too hypocritical, and under his influence Tang San had become the same way.
Master and disciple truly embodied shamelessness.
"Don't you also come from a powerful family? Why don't you rely on yours? Oh, right, I forgot. You're the disgrace of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the one who was cast out."
"You've got quite the sharp tongue, little girl."
Facing Ning Rongrong, Liu Erlong had to restrain herself.
Ning Rongrong was completely different from Yu Xiaogang. Although both were descendants of sect leaders, Ning Rongrong was the future heir of her sect, while Yu Xiaogang was the exact opposite.
If something happened to Yu Xiaogang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might not stand up for him.
But if anything happened to Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely seek revenge.
The argument became increasingly heated.
Both sides released their Spirits, looking ready to fight at any moment.
Suddenly, fierce winds swept through the area as a dark green figure appeared in midair.
"Attacking my friends on my territory? Are you treating me as if I don't exist?"
"Dugu Bo!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes nearly burst with rage.
Half a year ago, Dugu Bo had thrown him into a pool.
Such humiliation was not something he could easily forget.
Now that the Golden Triangle was reunited, he even felt tempted to challenge Dugu Bo.
"Xiaogang, the children are still here. Don't act recklessly."
Flender whispered a warning before respectfully bowing.
"Senior Dugu, this is all a misunderstanding. As Headmaster of Shrek Academy, I apologize on behalf of everyone."
As he spoke, he looked pleadingly at Wu Qi.
"Little Friend Wu, could you give me some face?"
Back then, Wu Qi had benefited from Flender's generosity. Although Flender never brought it up, Wu Qi had no desire to keep owing him that favor.
"The storage spirit tool Headmaster Flender gave me proved quite useful."
"Old Monster, let it go. This isn't worth fighting over."
After saying that, Wu Qi and the others walked past Liu Erlong and headed toward the edge of the forest.
Tang San grew anxious.
Opportunities to interact with Dugu Bo were rare.
If he missed this chance, who knew how long it would be before another one came along?
As long as he could gain access to Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, he could determine whether Immortal Herbs were truly there.
This was not only Yu Xiaogang's only chance to overcome his talent limitations, but also a tremendous opportunity for the Seven Devils.
But how could he approach Dugu Bo?
His mind raced as he desperately searched for an idea.
Just as Dugu Bo was about to leave, Tang San suddenly called out:
"Your Excellency Dugu, please wait."
Dugu Bo had no intention of responding, but then Tang San continued:
"I know why Dugu Yan has such poor control over her Spirit. Could we talk about it?"
"Oh?"
Dugu Bo's interest was immediately piqued.
Seeing him stop, Tang San's face lit up with excitement.
"Senior, could we speak somewhere private?"
Yu Xiaogang immediately objected.
"Xiao San, have you lost your mind?"
"Dugu Bo is infamous throughout the continent. Approaching him voluntarily is courting death."
Tang San replied seriously,
"Teacher, trust me. If everything goes well, there may be a chance for your strength to advance."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes brightened, and he no longer tried to stop him.
"Follow me."
Dugu Bo wanted to see what scheme Tang San was trying to pull.
A short distance away, beneath a large tree.
Dugu Bo spoke casually.
"Let's hear your explanation."
"My patience is limited. If you're wasting my time, all of you will die."
Tang San took a deep breath and answered seriously.
"The reason Dugu Yan cannot properly control her Spirit is that there's a problem between her body and her Spirit itself."
"In other words, the poison of her Spirit is slowly corroding her body. By helping her increase her strength so quickly, you're actually harming her."
Dugu Bo's expression remained calm.
"What makes you say that?"
A confident smile appeared on Tang San's face as he adopted the posture of someone certain of victory.
"Senior Dugu, have you ever seen someone with purple hair and differently colored eyes? Dugu Yan's poisoning is still relatively mild, so the symptoms are only visible externally for now. But it won't be long before the poison penetrates deep into her bones and marrow."
"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Dugu, you're suffering from the same problem. In fact, your condition has already become extremely serious. The poison from your Spirit may very well take your life!"
Had this happened in the past, Dugu Bo might indeed have been alarmed by those words.
Unfortunately for Tang San, Wu Qi had already provided a solution to the poison problem. The issue that had plagued the Dugu family for generations had long since been resolved.
Compared to Wu Qi's humility, Tang San's showy display of knowledge only irritated Dugu Bo.
"And how exactly do you propose I solve it?" Dugu Bo asked impatiently.
To Tang San, that impatience looked like someone whose weakness had been exposed and who refused to admit it.
"It's very simple. I can prepare a medicinal treatment that will help you transfer the poison into your Spirit Bones. That will eliminate the threat posed by the poison in your Spirit."
"The same method can be used for Dugu Yan. With your strength, obtaining a Spirit Bone for her shouldn't be difficult."
Tang San had already planned everything out.
Next, he would claim that the required medicinal ingredients were scarce and use that as a reason to gain access to Dugu Bo's medicinal garden. From there, everything would fall naturally into place.
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly.
He had thought Tang San might actually have some unique insight.
This was it?
He replied,"Do you think I don't know that Spirit Bones have a limit to how much they can contain?"
"What, are you going to say that if one Spirit Bone isn't enough, I should simply get another?"
"Heh. I can easily live for several more decades. By then, if all six Spirit Bones are filled to their limits, won't the poison just flow back into my body again?"
"And this is the brilliant solution you came up with?"
"Besides, what makes you so certain that I'm actually poisoned?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gray, withered hair instantly transformed into glossy black hair.
His entire appearance became vibrant and full of vitality.
Tang San's eyes widened in shock.
Feigning weakness!
Dugu Bo had deliberately maintained the appearance of an old and frail man to lure potential enemies into revealing themselves.
Tang San was filled with regret.
At this moment, he realized he had completely fallen into the trap.
