"Of course." Wang Nan smiled at Huo Yuhao. No matter what, the Huo Yuhao in front of him was just a ten-year-old child, and he didn't want to see him turn into his original self.
"Wang Dage." Huo Yuhao showed a youthful smile.
"Are you still learning to make spirit tools?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded proudly. "During my time in the Inner Courtyard, I've been studying with my teacher, but I haven't fallen behind on the Soul Guidance System's courses. I'm already a Rank 4 Soul Master now."
Wang Nan looked at Huo Yuhao again. Huo Yuhao's spirit power rank was only in the thirties, yet he was already capable of independently crafting Rank 4 spirit tools. Although he had the help of his Spirit, it was clear that he truly possessed considerable talent in crafting spirit tools.
"Wang Dage, do you need any spirit tools? If you need anything, I can help you make it."
"The spirit tools suitable for me right now are Rank 7, which is still too early for you. When you become a Rank 9 Soul Master, if I need help then, I will ask you."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded very seriously. "I will work hard to become a Rank 9 Soul Master to help Wang Dage."
Wang Nan shook his head. "You can't say that. You still have to follow your own path according to your own ideas, and not become a certain type of person just for others."
Huo Yuhao sat beside Wang Nan, chatting with him and discussing matters of cultivation.
Not far away, a pair of pink-blue eyes were watching them.
For Wang Dong'er, she had never seen her parents since childhood. Although she was looked after by her two other fathers, seeing Wang Nan and Huo Yuhao sitting together like that, she felt a momentary envy in her heart.
"Senior Brother."
Soon after, Beibei walked over with Tang Ya.
"How have you two considered it?" Wang Nan stood up and looked at Beibei and Tang Ya. At this time, Tang Ya had fully recovered, and even Wang Nan hadn't noticed anything amiss.
"Senior Brother, we agree with Xuan Zi's arrangement to rebuild the Tang Sect in Shrek City." The Tang Sect now only had a few of them. Apart from Tang Ya, who had dropped out, the others were still studying in the Academy and couldn't frequently come to Heaven Dou City.
What's more, rebuilding the Tang Sect in Shrek City would prevent them from encountering situations like the one in Heaven Dou City again.
"Good, I'm just relaying the message about this matter. After you go back, you can discuss it with Xuan Zi yourselves to decide where to locate the Tang Sect. Now, pack up the things here, and let's go back."
A moment later, the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect had been completely expelled, and the Iron Blood Sect's plaque was also removed from the main gate. However, no Tang Sect plaque was hung either.
Everyone thoroughly searched the Iron Blood Sect, inside and out. Although they found some things, the few of them enjoyed the treatment of Shrek Academy's core disciples and truly didn't put these things in their eyes. In the end, they just handed them over to Tang Ya so she could rebuild the Tang Sect.
After Tang Ya paid respects to her parents, she left with everyone. Although Tang Ya was the current Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, most matters were handled by Beibei alone, or he directed others to complete them, making him more like the spokesperson for the Tang Sect.
Arriving on the street, Xuan Zi was waiting for them there. Seeing him, the few of them clearly looked a bit surprised.
"Xuan Zi."
"Hmm, you children are too reckless in your actions. This is, after all, the capital of the Tianhun Empire. Although you had a valid reason, you still needed to notify them."
"But when the Iron Blood Sect seized our Tang Sect's territory, didn't the Tianhun Empire also remain silent?"
"Alas." Xuan Zi looked at Tang Ya and sighed, reaching for the wine gourd at his waist, but then remembered something and stopped his movement.
"The matters within this are not something that can be explained in one or two sentences. For the Tianhun Empire, which Sect is here is not important; what's important is what it can bring to the Tianhun Empire."
Xuan Zi only mentioned it briefly and said no more.
"Alright, looking at your situation, it seems you want to return to Shrek City. It's good, we'll go back together. The World is not peaceful these days, and I'm not at ease letting you go alone."
Xuan Zi frowned as he spoke, and Wang Nan, seeing this, understood that it was likely due to the Holy Spirit Cult's affairs.
Counting the person in the restaurant just now, plus the one at Jialing Pass, there were already two Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult. And listening to the black-robed elder, the status of these two Titled Douluo in the Holy Spirit Cult was not even the highest.
Adding the few people who raided Shrek Academy a few years ago, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength was evident.
Even Xuan Zi felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
"Xuan Zi, is it because of the Holy Spirit Cult?" Beibei also noticed Xuan Zi's expression and asked.
Xuan Zi glanced at Tang Ya, and seeing her expression unchanged, he nodded.
Although the matters of the Shrek Supervisory Group were, in principle, kept secret, judging by Tang Ya's expression, she clearly knew about them long ago.
"Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength should not be underestimated. Their influence has secretly infiltrated several great Empires. After this, the Academy will also make dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult its primary objective."
Wang Nan listened to Xuan Zi's words, but his mind was on the continental war a few years later.
The Sun Moon Empire was ambitious, and initiating war was inevitable. Once the war began, countless Souls would appear on the battlefield, which for the Holy Spirit Cult, was a highly sought-after resource for cultivation.
Even though the war later ended under the strong intervention of the "Divinity," the Holy Spirit Cult was still not eradicated.
Thinking of this, Wang Nan glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him.
Originally, the person most capable of eradicating the Holy Spirit Cult was him, but later, he became completely engrossed in the word "love," having long forgotten the teachings of his teacher from another World.
Wang Nan was not ignorant of love, but he always felt that the "love" in this World was not pure, even somewhat distorted; even Spirit Beasts lacking emotions would develop such feelings.
Everyone in this World seemed to consider this matter more important than anything else, even Spirit Beasts would give up their most important life for it.
"Wang Dage, we're leaving. What are you thinking about?"
While Wang Nan was deep in thought, Huo Yuhao came over and tugged at his sleeve.
Wang Nan came back to his senses and smiled at Huo Yuhao. "Nothing."
With that, his gaze turned toward the Sun Moon Continent.
Qiankun Wenqing Valley, where the God of Love was rumored to have fallen. Were the changes on this continent related to this "God of Love"?
But after his fall, why was there no legacy of the God of Love, and why would other divinities appear at the place of his fall?
