Having achieved their goals in Gengjin City,
Ye Qiu and the others decided to stay another half day before heading back.
After finishing their meal, they
returned to their room.
Ning Rongrong couldn't wait to try on the soft armor Ye Qiu had given her.
After waiting behind the screen for a while,
she came out with the armor, blushing, and went to Ye Qiu, who was resting on the bed.
Ye Qiu got up and asked with concern,
"Rongrong, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing, I just thought I should listen to you and wear the men's version,"
Ning Rongrong said, sitting on Ye Qiu's lap and snuggling into his arms. Her voice was barely audible;
if Ye Qiu hadn't been so close, he probably wouldn't have heard her. Ye Qiu
paused
, looking at Ning Rongrong's flushed face and the two bulges on the armor.
He immediately understood and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pfft, hahaha!"
"Hey, you rascal, you're not allowed to laugh! You're not allowed to laugh!"
Ning Rongrong threw away the soft armor in her hand, frantically pounced on Ye Qiu on the bed, and raised her hand to cover Ye Qiu's mouth.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's embarrassed and annoyed voice
, Ye Qiu took a few deep breaths to suppress his laughter, but the teasing in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"You rascal, you're not allowed to make fun of me."
Ning Rongrong bit her red lips, looking down at Ye Qiu with embarrassment and annoyance.
"Hmm, I won't laugh anymore."
Ye Qiu gently pinched her soft cheek.
"You can wear the men's version first, and I'll have President Lou Gao make a few more later. You can choose whichever you like."
This was something Ye Qiu had planned for a while.
After all, he had quite a few confidantes, and he would prepare one for Xue Ke and one for Jiang Zhu as well.
"Then you have to remember that, and also, when we get back, you can't say anything out of line!"
Ning Rongrong puffed out her red cheeks, gritted her teeth, and warned Ye Qiu.
She couldn't afford to lose face in front of Dugu Yan and the others.
"Hmm, I won't say anything." As
soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, he turned over and lay face to face with Ning Rongrong.
He held her soft body, buried his head in Ning Rongrong's arms, and gently kissed her with his warm breath.
He breathed and said, "In the future, we can work harder to make you satisfied."
"You naughty husband~"
Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Qiu's head, her bright blue eyes shimmering, letting Ye Qiu untie the ties and bite open her buttons.
Before, with Ye Qiu's frequent massages, Ning Rongrong had actually reached a size of more than two cups.
Before long, Ning Rongrong's body suddenly appeared dressed in pink, the color spreading up to her neck.
She looked somewhat charming and naive, soft and weak, completely obedient to Ye Qiu, letting him do as he pleased.
...
While Ye Qiu was engrossed in his work,
on the other side.
Tang San had already invited Yu Xiaogang and was analyzing Tai Nuo's corpse.
Yu Xiaogang's leg, broken by Liu Erlong, had been healed after leaving Blue Tyrant Academy.
He was now acting as a coroner, having examined the wounds for some time. He
had even summoned Luo Sanpao, whose powerful sense of smell could aid Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, what happened?" Tang San was in a terrible mood.
He had originally intended to use the Strength Clan to unify the four single-attribute clans, but this had happened.
Crucially, Tailong claimed to have witnessed him committing the crime
. Yu Xiaogang's gaze turned serious as he stated his judgment.
"Xiao San, these wounds are indeed as Tailong said, originating from the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass."
Tailong was filled with resentment.

"Tang San, what else do you have to say! Grandpa... a life for a life, he's no longer..."
"Tai Long! Don't get agitated. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back,
reverting to his arrogant demeanor. He was confident he could prove Tang San's innocence.
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang excitedly, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Teacher, did you discover something?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't mince words, cutting straight to the point:
"That's right, although the person who did it knows you well, they forgot the special scent your third spirit ring gave your Blue Silver Grass!"
"My third spirit ring?!"
Tang San's expression changed, his face turning pale and then red. It was the deepest pain of his life.
The reason he was so eager to recruit the four single-attribute clans, besides his adoptive father's request, was to replace this third ring.
"Yes, my Luo Sanpao spirit has an extremely sharp sense of smell. It didn't detect that scent on Tai Nuo's wounds; instead, it had a fragrance."
Yu Xiaogang nodded seriously.
Then, he hesitated and looked at Tang San.
"Little San, if possible, you can release the Blue Silver Grass and let Chief Titan identify it himself."
"Young Master!"
Titan looked at Tang San earnestly, as if he had found a lifeline. He truly couldn't believe that Tang San would kill his son.
"Alright, alright."
At this point, there was no point in hiding anything. Tang San directly summoned his Blue Silver Grass.
Titan and Tainuo immediately came to him and sniffed it. Their already sorrowful faces became even more ugly and distorted.
"How could this be?"
Tailong was a little confused and couldn't believe it.
As the person involved, he naturally remembered what the Blue Silver Grass smelled like at that time. It definitely wasn't smelly.
"Impossible, impossible! I clearly saw it. You killed my father!"
"What does this smell prove? Maybe you sprinkled something when you poisoned him!"
Tang San's already gloomy face darkened again.
"Tailong, if you dare to slander my innocence again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"Chief Titan, appearances aren't unchangeable; some soul skills can do that."
"Even so, what about the Clear Sky Hammer spirit? Can spirits be faked?!"
Tyrone remained completely unconvinced.
Titan, however, fell silent, looking at his grandson who was still arguing, and directly knocked him unconscious.
He ultimately chose to believe Tang San,
kneeling on one knee:
"Young Master, please forgive Tyrone's recklessness. He was just caught off guard by a sudden change and couldn't understand it. Titan absolutely believes in you. You have no reason to attack us."
Seeing this, Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and helped Titan up.
...
Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ye Qiu and the others
received intelligence that Titan was carrying a coffin to the Avalanche Mansion.
"Unexpectedly, this old gorilla actually carried his grandson back with him. It seems this incident didn't affect them much."
Dugu Bo rubbed his chin, somewhat regretful.
Ye Qiu, on the other hand, wasn't particularly regretful.
He chuckled and explained,
"This whole affair is riddled with flaws. Tang San has plenty of alibis. But even if they don't have internal strife, the Power Clan still has to hold their banquet, so they probably won't be able to form any factions."
"What Ye Qiu said makes sense," Ye Qiu added. "This way, by the time they realize what's happening, your Soul Hall will already be built, and the people from the other three clans and Gengjin City will have moved to the vicinity of Heaven Dou City. We can then support them if they want to do anything."
Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile. Although the matter was handled hastily, it had achieved its purpose.
After discussing the future operation of the Soul Hall with Ning Fengzhi and the others,
Ye Qiu returned to Blue Tyrant Academy with Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Dugu Bo.
