Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 74 Tang San, Tang San

"What are you saying? You seem so happy." Li Meili asked curiously as she brought the dishes to the table.

"Auntie, we're talking about someone giving their daughter to Xiao Quan."

"What!" Li Meili immediately glared at Shi Quan.

"Mom, let me explain..."

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting and laughing, but Ye Lingling seemed very uncomfortable with the atmosphere. She sat quietly next to Dugu Yan, forming a stark contrast with the cheerful Dugu Yan.

"Lingling, if there's anything you're not used to, just tell Auntie. Come on, eat more vegetables." Li Meili said gently to the silent Ye Lingling, and took the initiative to put a lot of vegetables on her plate.

"Thank you, Auntie." Ye Lingling looked at the food in the bowl, a little flustered, and her eyes were red.

"Auntie, don't worry, Lingling just doesn't like to talk much. She's not having any problems." Dugu Yan gently patted Ye Lingling's shoulder, helping her out of the awkward situation.

"That's good, that's good." Li Meili said with a smile, "Come on, eat more."

Li Meili didn't show favoritism and also served food to Dugu Yan.

After the meal.

Li Meili and Shi Jian went to help Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling tidy up their room, luckily there was always an empty room at home.

"Lingling, what's wrong?"

During the meal, Shi Quan sensed that Ye Lingling was acting strangely.

"It's nothing," Ye Lingling shook her head.

"If you need anything, just tell us, and Yanzi and I will help you."

Ye Lingling looked at Shi Quan, a strange light flashing in her empty eyes before gradually dimming. "I understand."

Shi Quan had always known that Ye Lingling was hiding something in her heart. Judging from Ye Lingling's current reaction, it should be related to her family, but Shi Quan did not know the specifics.

"Should I ask Xue Qinghe to investigate for me when we get back?" Shi Quan thought to himself as he looked at Ye Lingling's figure.

In the following days.

In the morning, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would still train with Shi Quan, and in the evening they would cultivate. Even though it was a holiday, cultivation was something that could be neglected or regressed.

In the afternoons when she had nothing to do, Li Meili liked to chat with the two women, while Shi Quan was the one who was neglected.

Ye Lingling seemed to gradually get used to this atmosphere, her smile widened, and her eyes were no longer as empty as before.

One week later.

Outside Nottingham.

Looking at the towering Notting City, Dugu Yan remarked, "This is Notting City? It looks so small."

"It can't compare to Tiandou City at all," Shi Quan said with a smile.

"Notting Academy should be on holiday like Tiandou Academy, right? Your teacher shouldn't be at Notting Academy right now, right?"

"I don't know either. I haven't gone to see him during the holidays yet, but don't worry, there are people on duty at the college even during the holidays. You can ask them when the time comes."

Shi Quan led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into Nottingham City.

He came to Nottingham to visit Dean Mald, along with the Master.

"Since it's still early, why don't we wander around the city first?" Dugu Yan looked at the bustling streets, her shopping spirit beginning to ignite.

"Sure, let's book the hotel first."

Before coming to Nottingham, Shi Quan had told his parents that he would stay in Nottingham for one night before returning home, because he had some things to take care of at night.

Shi Quan wasn't actually familiar with Nottingham City. During his four years of study there, he spent most of his time running back and forth between the academy and the back mountain of the academy, and he really didn't explore Nottingham City properly.

After wandering around for less than half an hour, Shi Quan never expected that he would run into an acquaintance.

"Hey, I want to eat that, quick..." came the girl's excited voice.

Without even looking at their faces, Shi Quan knew the identities of the two people, one with long, black scorpion braids and the other with a belt inlaid with twenty-four jade stones around his waist.

Nottingham is neither a very big nor a very small city, so to meet here by chance is truly a matter of fate.

"Xiao Quan, let's go try it too. Look how excited that girl is, it must taste good too," Dugu Yan said, pointing to Xiao Wu's spot.

"No problem." Shi Quan nodded with a smile. In his current appearance, Tang San would definitely not recognize him. Even if he did, there was no need for Shi Quan to avoid the two of them.

It was a pastry shop, and there was a long queue in front of it. People like to join in the fun, and seeing so many people buying, they would be curious and want to try it too. Dugu Yan had the same mentality.

The three of them went with Xiao Wu and Tang San, so they were positioned right behind the two of them.

"With so many people, the taste must be pretty good." Dugu Yan curiously peeked inside, then pulled Ye Lingling aside, "Lingling, let's each have one, Xiao Quan's treating."

"Sister Yanzi, are you short of this little bit of money?" Shi Quan shook his head and chuckled.

"It feels different, don't you understand?" Dugu Yan poked Shi Quan's head and glared at him.

Hearing the voice behind him, Tang San subconsciously turned around and glanced back. When he saw Shi Quan, his gaze paused for a moment before quickly falling on Dugu Yan. Then, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, as if he had noticed something. He pulled Xiao Wu forward and moved a little further away from Dugu Yan.

As Shi Quan and the other two chatted, they didn't notice Tang San's little actions, or rather, Shi Quan didn't care about Tang San at the moment.

After buying food and paying, Shi Quan and his two companions continued their shopping.

Tang San, who was not far away, turned around and looked in the direction Shi Quan had left with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, mistress?" Xiao Wu asked, munching on the food in her hand.

"I felt like I recognized that person. I think I've seen him somewhere before. He was the guy who was standing behind us just now."

Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, and she said, "The one who's kind of handsome?"

Tang San rolled his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness, "Yes."

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said while eating, "I also feel like it looks familiar."

"You feel the same way?" Tang San asked, even more puzzled. He added, "They should all be Soul Masters. One of the women even has a faint smell of poison on her, so they must all be quite powerful."

"Poison?" Xiao Wu looked at Tang San. "How did you smell it? I couldn't smell anything at all."

Tang San said with a faint smile, "Your nose is all over the delicious food, of course you can't smell it."

"Hmph!" Xiao Wu turned her head angrily and walked in the other direction. Tang San shook his head indulgently and quickly followed after her.

On the other side, Shi Quan and his two companions strolled around and spotted a beautifully decorated hotel, which they then booked.

After lunch, seeing that it was almost time, the three headed towards Notting College.

The tall, arched iron gate was tightly shut, with only a small door on one side open. The young man guarding the door was the same one who had asked his parents for money. He was dozing with his eyes slightly closed, but when he heard the noise, he lazily got up and looked at the three of them.

After clearly seeing the three people's appearance and clothing, the young gatekeeper immediately stood up and respectfully asked, "What brings you three to Notting Academy?"

Shi Quan asked, "I used to be a student at the academy. I've come back to visit Dean Mald. I wonder if the dean and his family are at the academy?"

"So you're a former student of the academy." Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "My lords, Dean Mald hasn't been staying at the academy since he went on vacation. If you wish to visit him, you can go to the xx villa on xx street to find him."

"Understood." Shi Quan hadn't expected that such a lowly gatekeeper would know Mald's address. No wonder he dared to extort those work-study students who had just joined the academy.

"By the way, is Yu Xiaogang still at the academy?" Shi Quan, who had already turned to leave, suddenly turned back and asked.

"The master?" The young man nodded and said, "The master has always been in the academy."

"It's good that you're here," Shi Quan thought to himself.

He turned and left with the two women.

Fate is a strange thing. Before Shi Quan and his two companions had gone far, they ran into Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had just returned.

"What a coincidence, it's those two again. They must be students from Notting Academy, right? Xiao Quan, don't you know them?" Dugu Yan watched Tang San and Xiao Wu's departing figures.

"Of course I know them! The guy is Tang San, his spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and the girl is Xiao Wu, her spirit is Soft Bone Rabbit. They are both born with full spirit power, and they are very famous in the academy," Shi Quan said with a smile.

"Both of them have innate full soul power?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both looked at Shi Quan in surprise.

Shi Quan chuckled and said, "That's right, they're both at full innate soul power. There are only a handful of people with full innate soul power in the last hundred years, and two of them have appeared here all at once. Didn't expect that, did you?"

Dugu Yan said, "It's not just that you two have innate full soul power, the key point is that Notting Academy has also produced a genius like you. I'm starting to wonder if Notting Academy has some kind of magic that has gathered you all here."

"Can Blue Silver Grass still have innate full soul power?" Ye Lingling suddenly asked.

"His Blue Silver Grass is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. When he used his Martial Soul in front of me before, I could feel a sense of pressure from a superior. I speculate that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass should have some kind of special bloodline, but this bloodline has not yet awakened."

"And Tang San..." Shi Quan looked around but didn't continue, lowering his voice to say, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Let's skip this topic.

……

"It's them again, mistresses. They seem to have come from the direction of the academy."

"We'll find out by asking the gatekeeper in a bit." Tang San glanced back, then looked away. After inquiring at the gatekeeper, he learned that the three of them were looking for Dean Mald.

"So you were a former student of the academy. I might have seen you by chance before."

Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't think too much about it.

the other side.

Following the doorman's directions, Shi Quan finally found Mald, and Shi Quan's arrival gave Mald a pleasant surprise...
