Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 220 Han Li encounters an "acquaintance," Haozi beats up Gangzi

As Tang Hao recounted his story, Ning Fengzhi and the other two felt increasingly uneasy.

Why is the story told by Tang Hao different from the one they heard from Ning Rongrong and the one they learned from Xue Qinghe?

First of all, Ning Rongrong would never lie to him, so the truth of the matter is obvious.

Only after Tang Hao stopped speaking did Ning Fengzhi carefully consider his words before saying, "Brother Tang, to be honest, my daughter was also there at the time. She told me what happened after she came back, but her version differed slightly from yours. Would you like to hear it?"

Tang Hao wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Fengzhi's words. Moreover, after what had just happened, he no longer trusted Yu Xiaogang's explanation, so he simply nodded.

Three minutes later, Ning Fengzhi finished his narration and looked at Tang Hao: "That's how it happened. This is what Rongrong saw."

Tang Hao was now in a state of rage, and although his expression wasn't drastically different, the feeling he gave was completely different.

In Yu Xiaogang's account, he didn't have that many scenes; instead, he always played the role of a qualified teacher.

However, in Ning Fengzhi's version, considering the course of events, from Ning Rongrong's perspective, Yu Xiaogang's presence is by no means insignificant. In fact, he was the one who single-handedly propelled the events, while Tang San was merely an executor.

"Thank you, Brother Ning. I think I know where the problem lies."

Tang Hao responded with great frustration.

"It's alright. After all, the three upper sects have always been of one mind and advance and retreat together, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect have always been on good terms. It seems that it was just a villain causing trouble. It's good that the misunderstanding can be cleared up."

That's what he said, but Ning Fengzhi's expression wasn't so good either. He remembered Yu Xiaogang, right?

Seeing Tang Hao's uncertain expression, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke up again: "Brother Tang, since we didn't do Zhu Zhuqing's disappearance, then this matter is interesting. Perhaps someone really is plotting against us behind the scenes. Of course, this is just speculation."

"Then it's only the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Yu Xiaogang, what a fine Yu Xiaogang."

Following his words, Tang Hao naturally thought of the other of the three sects that he had previously overlooked, and said through gritted teeth.

"It cannot be confirmed yet whether they had a motive to kidnap Zhu Zhuqing."

Ning Fengzhi, however, sang a different tune.

"If it weren't them, who else could it be? Brother Ning, I was presumptuous today. I'll take my leave now and visit you another day."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Ning Fengzhi's response, but turned around and walked out of the main hall, heading towards the mountain gate along the way he came.

Sword Douluo followed without a word. He dared not let this idiot leave on his own; who knew what trouble he would cause?

After the two figures disappeared, Gu Rong suddenly turned to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Fengzhi, this matter should have nothing to do with them, right?"

"I don't know either, but it's probably fine. They don't have the brains for it."

Ning Fengzhi elegantly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said casually.

"What about Tang Hao?"

Gu Rong raised an eyebrow.

"What does this have to do with us? That's what Tang Hao thinks. And for no reason at all, he's dragged us into this mess. The fact that we didn't retaliate makes people think that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is weak."

"Besides, no matter how useless Yu Xiaogang is, he's still Yu Yuanzhen's son. It's not appropriate for us to get involved. Let Tang Hao teach him a lesson. The traitor of the Clear Sky Sect and the abandoned son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon are actually equals in status."

Ning Fengzhi's smile was as kind as ever, but Gu Rong sighed inwardly, knowing that he wouldn't let the matter rest so easily. Perhaps this was just the beginning.

"By the way, Uncle Gu, have your men continue searching for Zhu Zhuqing's whereabouts through various channels. Don't stop for now. Since it's not Tang Haoqian's, then perhaps there really is someone involved behind this. We have to find them."

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious again.

"Qinghe is unlikely. Then, is it the Star Luo Empire? Or the Spirit Hall?"

"The Spirit Hall is more likely, but we can confirm that Salas hasn't taken any action. Could it be that the Spirit Hall has sent people again without our noticing?"

"Or is it that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan really got involved? But what would their motive be? I can't figure it out."

Ning Fengzhi lowered his head, sorting out the whole story.

For him, when in doubt, the Spirit Hall is always the best candidate, even if there is no one there.

The same goes for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Don't be fooled by their nice words about the three upper sects being of one mind and one branch. Those were just empty words. Anyone who actually believed them would be out of their mind.

With the Spirit Hall now more restrained, they and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are direct competitors, not only in terms of sect influence but also in terms of control over the Heaven Dou Empire.

He desperately wanted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to die, but of course, they couldn't die completely. They still needed the Spirit Hall's strength to fight against them, but it was true that they had to be weaker than the Spirit Hall.

After being sent down the mountain under the watchful eye of Sword Douluo, Tang Hao became even more furious.

But he couldn't win a fight, and he wasn't in the right either, so he transferred all his anger to the person who caused the incident.

Damn Yu Xiaogang, it's all your fault! Xiao San got hurt, and he also suffered indignities at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, all because of him.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao couldn't help but increase his speed a bit more.

This time, no one can save Yu Xiaogang, not even Yu Yuanzhen in person.

Although he told Ning Fengzhi that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had interfered, Tang Hao was just saying it casually. He and Ning Fengzhi agreed that they had no reason to interfere.

He said that at the time only to give himself a way out so he could leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School directly.

This time, he had already lost face considerably. If he stayed any longer, who knew what other embarrassing things that Gu Rong would say to him.

Tang Hao's anger flared up again, and he rushed towards the location of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with all his might.

While the group in Tiandou City were speculating amongst themselves, Han Li and his companions encountered several unexpected people on their way back from the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this moment, several people were gathered together, surrounding an injured person in the middle, and helping him treat his injuries.

The injured man's right arm was almost severed, held together only by a small amount of flesh and blood, but it was essentially useless. He had already lost consciousness, but his left hand was still tightly gripping a medicinal herb.

Seeing this, one naturally cannot guess what exactly happened.

"Old White Bird, I told you not to let your people forcibly take it. If there is any danger that you can't handle after you find it, write down the location first, and then we'll go and pick it together when we get back."

In front of the injured man, a tall, thin old man with jet-black hair was squatting, looking at the middle-aged injured man lying on the ground with a headache, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

Saving the person and keeping them alive was not difficult for him, especially since he had already stopped the bleeding.

However, this injury was really difficult to treat. The enemy's clansmen were not strong in combat to begin with, and now, another key fighter had been lost. He didn't know how to face his old friend.

No matter how you look at it, this matter can't be blamed on him. He had reminded them of the precautions before setting off, and it was their clan that took the initiative to help this time.

But... sighed inwardly.

"Old Goat, this is not your fault. Bai Ming acted impulsively. Let go of his arm. It's good that he can live."

Beside him stood another elderly man of similar build, but with snow-white hair. He glanced sadly at the injured man on the ground, closed his eyes, and made a decision.

This is nobody's fault but theirs. It's a miracle they survived. If he hadn't been nearby and hadn't arrived quickly enough after hearing the commotion, they probably wouldn't have been able to save them.

"That's all we can do."

The gaunt old man, who was squatting, reached his right hand to his waist, and a sharp dagger that gleamed with a cold light appeared in his hand.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes in front of them. As they watched with wary expressions, several figures parted and emerged from the bushes.

"Gentlemen, what happened? Do you need help?"

It could only be Han Li and his group.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao finally returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after a long journey.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was in his office, smiling and talking to Flander, but Flander's expression was not good.

He was organizing six people for combat training when Yu Xiaogang summoned him, saying that His Majesty Haotian had summoned him.

As a result, when he arrived, Tang Hao didn't see him, but Yu Xiaogang kept him talking for more than an hour, and it was all that pointless nonsense.

Yu Xiaogang subtly reminded him that he would become the teacher in charge of training the group, and also hinted that he should go to Qin Ming and talk to him about getting Tang San and Xiao Wu into the Royal Fighting Team.

"When exactly will Your Majesty arrive? If you have nothing else to say, I'll go back and continue supervising their training."

Flander stood up impatiently; he didn't want to waste time on this pointless chatter.

After what happened last time, for some reason, he lost all goodwill towards his sworn brother. This abrupt change made Zhao Wuji give him a thumbs up and say that it should have been like this a long time ago.

"What's the rush...?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and was about to say something more when the door was blown open by a gust of wind, and a dark figure appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Yu Xiaogang had just lowered his hand, which he had used to shield his face from the wind, and was about to greet someone when he saw a palm rapidly enlarging in front of him.

"Snap"

A resounding slap echoed in the office, stunning both Yu Xiaogang and Flander.

However, unlike Flander who was just watching, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying by the force of the blow, crashing hard into the wall behind him.

The bookshelf against the wall also fell over due to his impact, and the shelf directly hit Yu Xiaogang, scattering books all over the floor.

"Your Majesty Haotian."

Flander was still confused about what had happened and was about to ask when Tang Hao glared at him, stopping him in his tracks.

Then, right before his eyes, Tang Hao's soul power sealed off the entire room, and Tang Hao walked back towards Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground, looking somewhat dazed.

"You dared to lie to me..."

"Snap"

"You like making up stories, huh? I'll let you make up as many as you want."

"Snap"

"He may not have any other skills, but he's quite adept at gossiping."

"I see now, the mistress's injury is all because of you, you piece of trash..."

Under Flander's somewhat horrified gaze, Tang Hao seemed to feel that a slap was not enough, and a small hammer appeared in his right hand. With a sinister smile, he smashed it down on Yu Xiaogang's left leg on the ground.

"ah"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, but it was firmly locked inside the room by soul power.
