Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 223 But I've already let it go, I'll take it one step at a time!
"What do you think happened to Yuan En Ye Hui?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, a sharp glint flashed in the old man's steady, earthy-yellow eyes. His aura, as deep and oppressive as a deep abyss, crushed the surrounding space, and the ground beneath his feet trembled and shook.

He is none other than Yuanen Zhentian, the current patriarch of the Yuanen family, a veteran Limit Douluo of level 99, and the owner of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul!
"Father's strength is probably close to the quasi-god level!" The middle-aged man was shocked when he felt the pressure, but he also sighed with some sorrow.

"A demigod-level Limit Douluo with three-word battle armor—I'm afraid only Father possesses that trait across the entire continent..."

"Tian Shang, tell your father what the people from Shrek Academy said," Yuan En Zhentian asked Yuan En Tian Shang in a deep voice.

Yuanen Yehui was his granddaughter and the daughter of his eldest son, Yuanen Tiandang. Although he had to send Yuanen Yehui away because of that catastrophe, he still cared about her deeply.

Furthermore, Yuan Enye lost his mother at a young age, and his father lost his will to live. His grandfather even had to put on a show and speak ill of Yuan Enye because of that catastrophe.

Every time he thinks of a young girl who has gone through so much suffering, his heart aches.

However, that catastrophe resulted in the deaths of many members of the Yuanen family. In order to quell the anger of the family members, his eldest son willingly imprisoned himself, and sending Yuanen Yehui out was the best solution.

However, his feelings for Yuanen Yehui were genuine, so when he heard that Yuanen Yehui was in trouble, even as the head of the clan, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

"Father, don't worry, Yuanen Yehui is still alright." Yuanen Tianshang gestured with his hand and explained:

"Elder Li from Shrek Academy told me earlier that Yuan En Ye Hui is now involved with a disciple of the Body Sect."

"The Body Sect? What's going on? What's wrong with Yuanen Yehui making a friend?" Hearing that Yuanen Yehui was alright, Yuanen Zhentian relaxed a little, then asked in confusion.

“Making friends is no problem, but this disciple of the Body Sect is no ordinary person.” Yuan Entianshang couldn’t help but click his tongue when he mentioned Jiang Xiu’s identity mentioned by Elder Li.

"Huh? What kind of status could a disciple have?" Yuanen Zhentian was even more puzzled. As far as he knew, the Body Sect should have already declined by now.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Entianshang said in a deep voice, "This disciple of the Body Sect is the disciple of Body Douluo Mu Ye, and is also the personal student of the Blacksmith Association President, Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua. He has close ties with the Spirit Pagoda Vice Tower Master, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, and also tops the list of young geniuses."

Yuan Enzhentian was slightly taken aback when he heard the identities listed like a menu; each one was more astonishing than the last.

There are such outstanding young people in the outside world now?

And is this Jiang Xiu's entire identity?

"What else did that elder from Shrek Academy say?" Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yuanen Zhentian asked.

Yuan Entianshang hesitated for a moment and said, "That Elder Li said that we must remember the demonic bloodline within Yuan En Yehui's martial soul. To keep this secret, it's best not to get involved with any major forces outside, and also to prevent anyone from leaving Shrek Academy..."

"After all, when Yuanen Yehui reaches level 90, only Shrek Academy can deal with the demon planes she summons. Let us think it over ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.

“Even Old Li said that Jiang Xiu has connections with the Federation…” Yuan Entianshang added.

Of course, he didn't know that Old Li was unaware of Jiang Xiu's relationship with the Federation; the last sentence was merely an artistic embellishment.

"Hmph!" Yuan Enzhen snorted coldly, "Shrek Academy must have some grudge against the Body Sect, for they have to go through all this trouble."

He understood the gist of it when he heard the last sentence, which carried a hint of ulterior motive. But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. For now, they could only rely on Shrek Academy to solve Yuan Enhui's problem.

After all, if the fact that Yuanen Yehui could attract the Demon Dimension were to leak out, it would attract far too much attention, because no one would want the Demon Dimension to descend upon them...

Moreover, he also asked Shrek Academy to take care of Yuanen Yehui, which means that Yuanen Yehui's cultivation must have cost Shrek Academy a lot of resources over the years.

“Father, how about I go to Shrek City?” Yuan Entianshang asked, seeing his father’s furrowed brows.

Yuan Enzhentian looked at his second son, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. The calamity of that year had unfortunately taken the life of his second son's beloved wife.

Yuan En Ye Hui's mother was an indirect murderer, and he no longer wanted her to relive that painful experience because of Yuan En Ye Hui.

"Forget it, I'll go myself. That True Body Douluo is not someone you can handle." Then, Yuanen Zhentian waved his hand and said, "You stay here and manage the family well, don't cause any trouble."

After saying that, Yuanen Zhentian took a step forward with his fierce body, and countless thick yellow light spots immediately appeared around him. In an instant, Yuanen Zhentian's figure disappeared from the house and appeared in the sky the next moment.

Looking down at the somewhat outdated buildings below, a hint of melancholy flashed in Yuan Enzhentian's usually calm eyes.

"Can my Yuanen family, which is already walking on thin ice, ever reach the other side...?"

With a slight shake of his head, Yuan Enzhentian's figure completely disappeared into the horizon.

Inside the house, after watching his father leave, Yuan Entianshang revealed a bitter smile.

"Father, are you afraid I will harm Xiao Yehui?"

"But I have long since let go of the hatred in my heart. The one who truly killed Wan'er was not Xiao Yehui's mother, but that damned demon army!"

"And that's my most beloved older brother's daughter!"

Yuan Entian's eyes reddened slightly, and he said indignantly.

Furthermore, back then, he represented those clansmen who had perished tragically. If he were to openly forgive his elder brother, Yuanen Tiandang, those clansmen who had lost loved ones would certainly be unwilling, and the intact Yuanen family would also fall apart. Therefore, he could only treat his elder brother with indifference. Along this journey, no one understood him.

Although he had already let it go,

But the older brother he once admired had completely fallen into a state of destitution.

If one possessed the essence blood of a pure Titan Giant Ape of over 100,000 years, it might be possible to repair its damaged foundation. However, with soul beasts now extinct, where could one find a Titan Giant Ape of 100,000 years?
……

Ontology.

In the main hall.

"Today we're having steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, steamed pig's trotters, roast duck, and roast chicken..."

Looking at the dishes laid out on the table, Aruheng introduced them as if they were his own treasures.

"Delicious! I love it!" Na'er raised her little hand, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"Senior Brother, why are you making so much delicious food today?" Jiang Xiu asked curiously as he sat down next to Na'er.

"Haha, it's Na'er who said today is a good day and asked me to cook more delicious food," Aruheng laughed.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Na'er is such a food connoisseur at such a young age, she's ordering all sorts of expert dishes.

Jiang Xiu turned to look at Na'er and chuckled, "What's so special about today? Or are you craving something again, Na'er?"

"Hehehe, I heard that Gu Yue got a zero on one of the tests, and I'm happy for her... ah, not sad, I'm crying." Na'er pretended to be sad, "That's why I asked my senior brother to make some good food to comfort my soul."

The foolish Gu Yue was defeated as soon as she left the beginner village, which made her, the Great King Na'er, very relieved.

Tears of sadness streamed from the corners of her mouth, didn't they? Seeing Na'er's eyes shining, Jiang Xiu smiled helplessly to himself.

"Junior brother, Na'er, you two eat first. I'm going to take something to Uncle Zhenhua," Aruheng said.

Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Oh? Senior Brother, what are you going to send to Teacher?"

“It’s the Nine Dragons Qi and Blood Elixir developed by Master,” Aruheng replied.

He then quickly walked to Jiang Xiu's side and lowered his voice, saying, "In the past two years, based on Master's potions, I have developed several other potions. Junior Brother, take a look."

As he spoke, Aruheng took out a silver box containing tubes of different medicines, each with a different label.

"Junior brother, this is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, this is a Velociraptor, this is a Henbodragon..." Aruheng pointed to the potion and introduced it:
"There are nine types in total, each with different effects. There's bound to be one that suits you. Junior brother, would you like to get a treatment?"

"No, no, no, Senior Brother, you can use it." Jiang Xiu quickly waved his hand when he saw this.

He knew that these were all the essence extracted from spiritual herbs and there was nothing particularly harmful about them, but he had the Golden Dragon King's essence and would not lack a supply of qi and blood.

More importantly, it would be bad if it became pointed on top.

"Alright then, I originally wanted you, junior brother, to work together with your senior brother in a steady and methodical way," Aruheng said regretfully.

"But senior brother, why would our teacher want this?" Jiang Xiu asked, puzzled.

"Uncle-Master Zhenhua said that the spiritual medicines Master used to prepare were all too weak, but after taking this injection before forging, the forging is full of energy again," Aruheng chuckled.

"I see..." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, but something seemed off. He hadn't seen his teacher for more than half a year since his teacher took on a four-word battle armor order.

No, he needs to find time to see his teacher, partly to check if everything is alright, since he only has this one master craftsman as his master. It wouldn't be good if bad news came from the forging world one day.

The second is to ask the master craftsman about his forging techniques.

The Ant King was always seeking improvement, and he needed to acquire more secrets related to forging techniques.

"Alright, then I'll be going now, senior brother." Seeing that Jiang Xiu didn't need it, Aruheng packed up his box, waved, and walked out of the sect.

Uncle Zhenhua is still waiting for him!

But as soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Aruheng turned back and instructed, "You have to drink that steamed egg custard by sipping from the side, otherwise it won't taste authentic."

“No problem!” Na’er waved her little hand and said. She was an old gourmand who could eat soul beast meat and Blue Silver Grass. She had already memorized these things.

After Aruheng left, only Jiang Xiu and Na'er remained in the main hall.

"By the way, boss, Gu Yue said she wants to meet us in two days. What do you think?" Na'er took a big gulp of her drink and looked at Jiang Xiu with her beautiful eyes.

She could tell at a glance that Gu Yue had ill intentions, so she had to discuss it with her boss beforehand.

Na'er never gives up!
