His soul ring was gone, his hidden weapons were gone, his money was gone, his clothes were gone, and even his last shred of dignity was stripped away.

The two of them sat there without saying a word.

long silence.

Then, I don't know who spoke first.

"Wow!!!"

She burst into tears!

The crying was so loud that Director Su thought the college was haunted in the middle of the night.

I made my way to the master's office, pushed open the door and entered. I saw two people, dressed in old clothes and with many parts of their bodies naked, embracing and crying, their skin touching. I fell silent.

"you......"

Yu Xiaogang looked up, his face instantly turning bright red. "No, no, no! Director! It wasn't you..."

"I know, I know, I know!" Director Su covered his face. "I'll leave now and not bother you anymore!"

Having said that, he spoke at almost the fastest speed he had ever seen in his life—

Turn around! Run! Get away!

He even bumped into the office door frame while moving too fast, and got a big bump on his head.

Only Yu Xiaogang remained, draped in old clothes, standing there dumbfounded in the cool night breeze...

Meanwhile, in Nottingham, a small villa.

Wang Sheng and several older work-study students took off their black masks, all letting out a long sigh of relief, their faces still showing lingering excitement.

"Hahaha! I can't take it anymore!"

"Brother Ye Hua, you...you didn't see Tang San's embarrassing expression, hahaha!"

Ye Hua sighed helplessly, "Wang Sheng, you've been laughing for three minutes now, isn't it time to get down to business?"

"Did you bring me the things I asked you to bring?"

Chapter 17 Iron-Blooded Protector, Master Meets Tang Hao

Wang Sheng nodded, took out the belt inlaid with twenty-four gemstones from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Hua with both hands.

"Brother Yehua, this is the thing that Master carries on his waist. I brought it back as you instructed."

Ye Hua accepted the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night and said with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work. I even had to lie to Director Su to ask for leave."

"By the way, nothing went wrong, right?"

"Don't worry!" Wang Sheng patted his chest, looking smug. "My acting skills were honed by my dad with a stick since I was a kid!"

"Tang San never imagined that the people who beat him up were us work-study students!"

"He was still threatening us, saying he'd deal with us when we got back, hahaha, he didn't even recognize me standing right in front of him!"

Ye Hua smiled faintly, took out several bulging money pouches from his jade bracelet, and stuffed all the money from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon into Wang Sheng's hands.

Wang Sheng was stunned. "Brother Ye Hua, this..."

“Of course it’s a tip,” Ye Hua patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder. “Hey, you can’t refuse this time, I’ll feel guilty if you don’t accept it.”

"We're friends, it's not good to make a friend feel guilty."

“Use this money to buy resources. You won’t have to work part-time anymore. Focus on your cultivation.”

Wang Sheng gripped the heavy money bag and bit his lip.

The work-study students behind him looked at each other, their eyes reddening.

Honestly, they were the lowest-ranking students in the college.

He had no background, no resources, and not even money to eat. His martial spirits were all second-rate.

At Nottingham College, they are the most inconspicuous dust, and anyone can step on them.

No one has ever casually handed them such a large sum of money.

"Brother Ye Hua," Wang Sheng said solemnly, putting the money pouch into his pocket, "Thank you!"

Ye Hua reached out and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, "Don't be so polite. I'm your older brother. How could I stand by and watch my brother be wronged or bullied?"

"Alright, stop making it sound like a life-or-death situation. Go back and get a good night's sleep. Starting tomorrow, you'll no longer be part-time workers being manipulated for money."

"Go back, and remember to avoid Director Su. Ignorance is no excuse, so don't expose him or make things difficult for him."

"Yes!"

Wang Sheng and the others responded in unison, then turned and disappeared into the night.

The courtyard fell silent again.

Xiao Wu brought over two cups of hot tea, handing one to Ye Hua.

"Brother, do you think Tang San will stay quiet for a while after suffering such a big loss this time?"

Ye Hua took the teacup, took a small sip, and said, "Impossible."

Xiao Wu frowned. "Why? He was beaten up like that, and he still dares to cause trouble?"

"Precisely because he was beaten like this, he is even less likely to let it go. Tang San is a person who never looks for the reasons within himself."

"He will only feel that others have harmed him and that the world owes him something. The more miserable he is, the deeper his hatred will be, and so he will want to take revenge on the whole world."

Xiao Wu remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Brother, he's so annoying!"

"You always look at me like that!"

"We heard it in the Soul Hunting Forest too, that he... he has those kinds of feelings for me!"

Ye Hua patted his head affectionately, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

"Mmm." Xiao Wu also sat down on the sofa and rested her head on Ye Hua's shoulder.

【Ding--】

[Xiao Wu's rescue rate +5%]

Current rescue rate: 50%

[A phased reward will be issued when the rescue progress reaches 60%. Please continue your efforts.]

Ye Hua withdrew his gaze and gently rubbed Xiao Wu's head. "It's getting late, go back to sleep."

Xiao Wu blushed, slapped his hand away, dropped her teacup, and ran back to her room.

The door closed, and Ye Hua sat alone in the living room, carefully observing the moonlit night over the Twenty-Four Bridges.

Twenty-four precious stones gleamed warmly in the moonlight, and Yu Xiaogang's life savings lay in his palm.

"This thing is good, but it's difficult to handle."

Ye Hua frowned slightly.

The moonlit night over the Twenty-Four Bridges is too dazzling.

If he dares to wear it out, it's tantamount to telling everyone that the thief who robbed the master was none other than Ye Hua!

But what if you don't wear it and just stay at home to have a baby?

Selling it would be even worse, for the same reason as wearing it out.

After all, the Golden Triangle was renowned back then, and Ye Hua didn't believe that everyone in the world was blind and no one could recognize that this was a master's work.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma—

【Ding--】

[The host has been detected to have acquired the special item "Moonlit Night at Twenty-Four Bridges," triggering a hidden exchange option.]

The consumable item "Moonlit Night at Twenty-Four Bridges" can be exchanged for one Super Douluo Guardian.

[Note: This is not a trial card! Not a fragment! Permanent guardian! Unwavering loyalty! Never betray!]

Ye Hua's pupils trembled.

A level 96 Super Douluo?

A powerhouse of this caliber stands at the very top of the pyramid across the entire Douluo Continent.

"Exchange!"

Ye Hua did not hesitate at all.

He already has a jade bracelet with unlimited storage, so there's no need for him to be reluctant to part with the moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridges.

The moonlit night over the Twenty-Four Bridges in my hand turned into starlight and dissipated into the night sky.

At the same time, a dark golden light exploded in front of him, and a burly figure condensed and took shape in the light.

The newcomer was an elderly man of about sixty years old, tall and broad-shouldered, with long, disheveled white hair cascading over his shoulders.

He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and pupils with a restrained, piercing light. He exuded an imposing aura without being angry. He wore a dark red outfit and carried a heavy sword as tall as himself.

The old man bowed, his right fist pressed against his chest, and said, "This old man, Tie Xiong, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

"My martial soul is the Iron-Blooded Heavy Sword, a level 96 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, titled Iron-Blooded."

"From this day forward, I am Your Majesty's protector. With me here, no villain will be able to harm you!"

Looking at the old man with an iron will in front of him, Ye Hua finally felt the weight on his heart lift.

Ever since Tang Hao became Tang San's enemy, Tang Hao has been like a Damocles' sword hanging over his head, but things are different now.

Tang Hao was only level 95 and was seriously injured, so he dared not detonate the ring.

With a Super Douluo protector, he no longer needs to worry about Tang Hao killing him!

"Elder Tie, from now on you will stay by my side. Conceal your aura and do not reveal your strength. I will naturally tell you when I need your help."

"However, sometimes I don't have time to say anything, and you need to step in at the right time. It's up to you to decide."

Tie Xiong nodded, "Yes, my lord."

Ye Hua nodded in satisfaction, then turned and went inside.

Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep!

But what he didn't know was...

Meanwhile, at the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, in the Master's Office.

Yu Xiaogang, wrapped in an old robe, sat alone in a chair, staring blankly at the wall opposite him.

Tang San had already been sent back to rest. The child's bones were mostly broken, and if he wasn't properly cared for, he might develop chronic illnesses.

But just as he was lost in thought, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Without knocking or any warning, a burly middle-aged man strode in.

He was dressed in tattered linen clothes, had a stubble-covered face, and greasy, messy hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in years. He reeked of a mixture of cheap alcohol and sweat.

"Master, how have you been?"

Chapter 18 Tang Hao's Night Raid

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice and seeing the weathered face before him, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, his pupils contracting sharply!

"Tang...Tang Hao?"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Tang Hao's gaze swept across Yu Xiaogang's face, his brows furrowing, but he didn't say much. "Of course I came to see Xiao San. I heard that the child has become your apprentice."

“Yes…” Yu Xiaogang was unsure of Tang Hao’s attitude and felt uneasy, thinking that Tang Hao looked down on him.

“Master, Master,” Tang Hao repeatedly murmured, “You possess wisdom that is difficult for others to attain.”

"I trust you with my mistress."
