Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 97, Taking care of younger siblings

After finalizing the arrangements, Tang Hao prepared to return to Tiandou City with everyone.

His desire to compete for the position of sect leader of the Haotian Sect is not something that can be achieved casually; it involves many factors.

Strength is only part of the equation. He cannot forcefully defeat Tang Xiao and then rely entirely on violence to eliminate all opponents of the Haotian Sect. If he did that, even if he became the sect leader, no one would respect him, and the Haotian Sect would be greatly weakened by internal strife.

The correct approach is to first win over one faction, then entice another, then recruit the third, and finally eliminate the remaining die-hard loyalists who are still loyal to Tang Xiao.

To achieve this, it's impossible to simply rely on the name of Haotian Douluo to rally people to join you.

Only tangible benefits can make people follow you wholeheartedly.

The purpose of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is precisely this.

With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang Hao could mobilize resources to win over a group of supporters within the Clear Sky School. With these supporters, the obstacles to Tang Hao becoming the sect leader would be much smaller.

The specific action plan still needs to be decided after returning to Tiandou City and conducting on-site investigations, but the general cooperation strategy has already been determined by the group.

Tang Hao has now officially joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The group returned together.

Before leaving, Tang Hao destroyed the stone chamber that had been built over a long period of time.

As for Ah Yin, Tang Hao took her out separately, put her in a flowerpot, and handed her to Meng Bei.

"Brother, this is my wife, Ah Yin. You've probably heard of her. I probably won't have time to take care of her anymore, so I'm entrusting her to you. I hope you can take good care of her in my place!"

As he spoke, Tang Hao handed Ah Yin to Meng Bei.

Meng Bei took the flowerpot, only to find that Ah Yin's branches and leaves were still tightly wrapped around Tang Hao's fingers, unwilling to let go.

Ah Yin possesses her own consciousness. Although she lost all her cultivation after the sacrifice, her basic consciousness remains, making her fundamentally different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

What happened today was extremely bizarre for Ah Yin.

First, there was Tang Hao, who hadn't returned for several months after leaving home. He suddenly came back yesterday, acting like a completely different person. He sat in the house all night without even glancing at her.

You know, her brother Hao used to always be by her side.

Furthermore, Ah Yin had never mentioned Meng Bei to Tang Hao before, but now he had suddenly become Tang Hao's older brother.

Tang Hao despises his elder brother Tang Xiao, yet he still tries to seize Tang Xiao's position as sect leader. It should be noted that in the past, when Tang Hao was alone with Ah Yin, he had always said that he felt sorry for the Haotian Sect and his elder brother Tang Xiao.

Now, Tang Hao is entrusting her to the care of a complete stranger. These strange phenomena make Ah Yin wonder if her Hao-ge is being controlled by someone.

Thus, when Tang Hao wanted to hand Ah Yin over to Meng Bei, Ah Yin used her branches and leaves to entangle Tang Hao's fingers, attempting to wake him up.

However, Ah Yin's efforts were destined to be in vain.

She guessed correctly; Tang Hao was indeed being controlled.

Unfortunately, this level of rule-based control cannot be lifted simply by pulling a finger.

Seeing this, Meng Bei smiled and reached out his fingertip to rub the roots of Ah Yin. Instantly, Ah Yin dispersed the energy stimulated by Meng Bei and loosened the branches and leaves that were entangled with Tang Hao.

Meng Bei then took Ah Yin into his hands.

He solemnly promised Tang Hao:

"Don't worry, my dear brother, I will take good care of your wife. I will water and fertilize her day and night and I will not dare to be careless in the slightest."

Tang Hao then thanked Meng Bei profusely.

Seeing how much Tang Hao trusted Meng Bei, even entrusting his wife to him, Ning Fengzhi and the others felt even more at ease with Tang Hao.

Only Ah Yin still harbored no trust in Meng Bei.

She angrily whipped Meng Bei's arm with the leaves, but unfortunately, she was too weak now, and Meng Bei could not feel any pain. He only felt his arm being tickled by the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass.

On a whim, Meng Bei simply reached out and grabbed a newly sprouted leaf from Ah Yin's stem.

The tender leaves had just sprouted and were incredibly delicate. Meng Bei pinched the leaves with his fingers and gently rubbed them. Before long, the leaves hurt from Meng Bei's rubbing and began to release a lot of plant sap.

Seeing this scene, Tang Hao felt a sharp pain in his heart and a surge of anger welled up inside him.

But there was no way to vent this anger.

He watched Meng Bei's actions. Although he was angry, he also felt that Meng Bei's actions were perfectly reasonable and justified, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Only Ah Yin endured unimaginable humiliation, and her branches drooped down.

"Father-in-law, you should go first. Notting Academy, which is not far from here, is where Xiaowu used to study. Xiaowu said she wanted to visit her former headmaster. Rongrong and I will accompany her to take a look."

Meng Bei said this.

Ning Fengzhi had no objection after hearing this, but he told Meng Bei to come back as soon as possible after the visit, and then flew to Tiandou City with Tang Hao and the others.

Meng Bei's purpose in staying behind was not to visit Notting Academy, but rather to learn what Xiao Wu had whispered in his ear.

That evening, Meng Bei won over Ning Rongrong.

Then he and Xiao Wu went to Tang San's house.

Meng Bei hugged Xiao Wu from behind, while Xiao Wu bent down to hold the blacksmith's forge in Tang San's house. She told Meng Bei intermittently that when she was a child, she was a guest at Tang San's house, and Tang San often made hidden weapons in front of this blacksmith's forge.

Ah Yin was placed aside, and after a while, Meng Bei watered Ah Yin.

More than an hour later, the two arrived at the back of the mountain.

Xiao Wu sat among the blue-silver grass, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed:

She and Tang San used to admire the moon here, and Tang San would thoughtfully comb her hair.

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei became interested, so he had Xiao Wu bend down, grabbed her scorpion braid from behind, and vigorously combed her hair!

A Yin was also by his side. When Meng Bei saw that the water he had given A Yin earlier had dried up, he collected some moon dew and watered her again.

Finally, the two arrived at Dormitory 7 of Notting College.

Meng Bei unleashed his domain, stunning all the other students into a stupor.

Then Xiao Wu put on her childhood clothes and took Meng Bei to the classroom to listen to the lesson, play on the playground, and fool around in the dormitory...

That night, Xiao Wu and Meng Bei reminisced about their childhood.

That night, Ah Yin received a large amount of nutritious dew, which caused her to grow taller.

In the end, Meng Bei returned to Tian Dou City with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and A Yin.

What he didn't know was that Tiandou City was already in turmoil.

First, Dugu Bo suddenly announced that he had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and become its third elder.

Previously, Dugu Bo had always maintained a close relationship with the royal family, and some even believed that Dugu Bo was a royal retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire. However, now, Dugu Bo has suddenly joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has surprised everyone.

Then came the news of the marriage alliance between the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Meng Bei of the Meng Clan in the far north, with wedding invitations sent to Wuhun City.

In no time, Meng Bei's name spread throughout the mainland.

Emperor Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire are interested in Meng Beiji.

Based on the information they had, they concluded that the biggest reason Dugu Bo sided with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was because of Meng Bei.
