"Yes, it's the Demon Suppressing Doulou you mentioned. Originally, my cousin's family was an affiliated sect of my clan. But who would have thought, her family had a conflict with my sect, and in the end, they rebelled against my clan and were abducted by the Demon Suppressing Doulou. However... I think even if the Demon Suppressing Doulou is utterly depraved, he shouldn't lay a hand on my cousin."
Tang San nodded, confirming the identity of the Demon Suppressing Doulou.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. It's just a pity that your cousin's family is now subordinate to the Demon Suppressing Doulou. It probably won't be easy to see her."
Ma Hongjun's expression became bitter. Due to the influence of his Spirit, he had a very strong need in certain aspects. If he could win over this future wife earlier, who was even more beautiful than any woman he had seen before, he wouldn't pursue other women. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned...
"It's alright. As long as you two are fated, you'll definitely be together again in the future."
Tang San patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, as if comforting him, and also himself. "I've always believed that even after my rebirth, I haven't seen my wife yet. But I believe in our fate and in her feelings for me. So we will definitely end up together. No one and nothing can stop us from being together..."
Oscar frowned, looking at Tang San, and asked tentatively, "Um... you said that Ning Rongrong is my future wife? Is her backing, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects?"
"That's right, Rongrong is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she's also the only daughter of the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master." Tang San nodded without hesitation, causing Oscar to gasp.
"Good heavens... it really is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I can actually marry the only daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master. Doesn't that mean I might have a chance to become the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master in the future???"
"In a sense, that's correct," Tang San said with a smile to Oscar. "Actually, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is nothing remarkable. No matter how powerful they are, they only have two Titled Douluo within their ranks. But our Shrek originally had the potential to produce seven deities. Even if Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhuqing aren't here now, the four of us can certainly become deities."
Tang San wanted to instill enough confidence in his companions now. After all, he had once led the Shrek Seven Devils to become gods. Even with the many changes and the absence of the three girls, he felt he could still lead these brothers to godhood. Once they became deities, after dealing with that evil Demon Suppressing Doulou, wouldn't it be easy to slowly search for Xiao Wu and the others?
"You're right. Our brothers can become deities, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is nothing. After I become a god, if I go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would they dare to refuse?"
Oscar now completely believed Tang San's words. After all, he spoke with such conviction. If he hadn't been reborn, how would he know so much?
Dai Mubai then thought of a question and asked Tang San, "You said our Shrek Seven Devils would become deities and eventually ascend to the God Realm. Did I win or lose in the struggle for the throne with my elder brother?"
"You won, but in the end, you chose not to inherit the throne and instead gave it to your elder brother, Dai Weisi." Tang San told him the outcome of the previous life's competition, which made Dai Mubai silent for a moment before he nodded.
"That's quite like me. I've never been very enthusiastic about competing for the throne. If it weren't to protect the person I love, I wouldn't want to contend for that so-called throne." Dai Mubai sighed heavily. "Alas, for me, as long as I have enough money and beautiful women by my side, isn't that much more carefree than being an emperor? It's just a pity... The competition within our Star Luo imperial family is cruel. Either you successfully inherit the throne, or you're imprisoned until death. My father treated his brothers that way."
However, Dai Mubai's face quickly broke into a relaxed smile. "Now that I know we all have the potential to become gods, I don't need to compete with my elder brother. He can be his emperor, and I'll become my deity. By then, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to control me..."
"Hmm, you're quite to my liking, what's your name?" Dai Mubai finally remembered that they didn't know their future brother's name and asked.
Seeing Dai Mubai finally ask for his name, Tang San's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Tang San, from the Clear Sky Sect. In the previous life, I was ranked third among the Shrek Seven Devils..."
"Clear Sky Sect???" Oscar's eyes widened like brass bells, and he said in disbelief, "You, you're not talking about the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Sect, are you? Oh my goodness... Since you're a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, why did you come to this remote place, our Shrek Academy? Wouldn't going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy be better? Why are you so determined to come here?"
"Of course, it's because I want to continue our brotherhood. If I had gone to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, how would I have met you brothers? To me, my brothers are more important than those academies. Besides, I'm someone who has been reborn once, and all those basic theoretical knowledge are already deeply ingrained in my mind. If I hadn't wanted to continue our brotherhood, I could have cultivated by myself within the sect..."
Tang San's "sincere" words moved Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar deeply. A brother, this was a lifelong good brother! Clearly, he knew everything and could have gone solo. There was no need for him to come to this remote corner of Shrek to find the three of them. But he came anyway, even forsaking his wife. What did this show? It showed that in this brother's eyes, his wife wasn't as important as his three brothers.
What Tang San didn't tell them was that he originally came to Shrek Academy to reunite with Xiao Wu. He thought that since Xiao Wu hadn't gone to Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy, she would definitely come to Shrek Academy to reunite with the other six devils. But who would have thought that Xiao Wu had completely disappeared and hadn't come to Shrek Academy to reunite with the other six devils? This left Tang San extremely disappointed. But what could disappointment do? Besides, Rongrong and Zhuqing hadn't come to Shrek Academy either. This showed that he wasn't the only one with a tragic fate. Dai-ge and Little Oscar were just as tragic. Thinking this way, Tang San felt much more balanced...
