"Hmm, it does add a unique charm."
Su Wen finished styling his hair, looked around, and his expression was slightly surprised.
This jade hairpin suited Ma Xiaotao very well.
Ning Tian's eye was sharp.
He just didn't know if she carried this hairpin with her or had prepared it in advance.
After all, this was too much of a coincidence.
Wait!
Su Wen was stunned.
Why did it feel like he'd been set up?!
He glanced suspiciously at Yan Shaozhe not far away.
The old fox was chatting casually with Bamboo Douluo, but he felt that as his suspicious gaze fell on him, Yan Shaozhe's movements were slightly stiff, as if he was a little guilty.
"Is it really pretty?" Ma Xiaotao's pretty face flushed, and her beautiful eyes stared at Su Wen expectantly.
"Pretty!" Su Wen nodded emphatically.
She looked even better when she smiled.
Her long, narrow eyes were as alluring as a fox's, but unfortunately, the owner of those eyes was as dull as a leopard, with a personality more like a fiery and straightforward female leopard.
"..."
Ning Tian watched this scene, a hint of envy flickering in her beautiful eyes.
Su Wen's skillful hair-tying technique was definitely not something she'd done only once or twice.
She looked at Ma Xiaotao; indeed, fools sometimes have good fortune.
And Ma Xiaotao's figure was definitely leagues ahead of hers.
A stunning face combined with a killer figure—no man could resist her.
And yet, she was still acting so naive.
Ning Tian's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed.
Was being too smart a disadvantage?
...
"Ahem, Xiao Wen, is something troubling you?"
On the way back,Yan Shaozhe felt Su Wen's gaze and felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling all over him.
He cautiously approached, coughing awkwardly twice as he asked.
"..."
Su Wen glanced at him, "Dean Yan, you didn't betray me, did you?"
"How could that be!"
Yan Shaozhe said righteously.
Su Wen stared at him calmly.
"Ahem, Xiao Wen, this really isn't my fault. It's just that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School gave too much! And Elder Mu knows about this too; it was approved by him!" Yan Shaozhe scratched his head, seemingly realizing he couldn't hide it any longer, so he simply revealed everything, incidentally betraying Elder Mu as well.
He was really afraid that Su Wen would be offended and go to the Soul Guidance Department.
That would truly be losing the watermelon while picking up a sesame seed.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Su Wen suddenly realized.
It seems that the current sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is no ordinary person; daring to make such a bet, what courage.
"Xiao Wen, I."
Yan Shaozhe wanted to cry but had no tears, wanting to explain.
But Su Wen interrupted him.
"It started after that trip to the far north?"
"No, not exactly." Yan Shaozhe shook his head.
"Two months ago, he learned by chance that you were going to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your third spirit ring, so he gave the Martial Soul Department twenty million gold spirit coins, hoping to create a 'chance encounter' to deepen the bond between you..."
"How much?!" Su Wen was stunned.
"Ahem, twenty million..." Yan Shaozhe repeated.
"That's alright then."
Su Wen said expressionlessly.
He took back what he said earlier.
More than just having guts, he was practically a ruthless hero, my dear future father-in-law...
"Give me half later."
Su Wen suddenly remembered something.
"Okay!" Yan Shaozhe quickly nodded.
"By the way, there's something else."
Su Wen hesitated for a moment, "Dean, there's a student in the outer academy named Jiang Nannan, do you know her?"
"Jiang Nannan? Of course I know her." Yan Shaozhe nodded.
"There were only a few commoner disciples in the outer academy to begin with, and this child was quite talented.
It's said that her appearance was also exceptional.
The number of male students pursuing her was enough to stretch from the east gate to the west gate of Shrek City, so I have a pretty deep impression of her, he recalled.
"Even Xu Sanshi, one of the most talented people in the outer academy right now, is said to have abandoned his family's dignity and shamelessly pursued Jiang Nannan all day long."
Su Wen clearly sensed a hint of disdain in Yan Shaozhe's words.
Come to think of it, this handsome older man was a seasoned Casanova in his youth, a true Casanova.
"I heard Jiang Nannan comes from a poor family? Her mother is seriously ill and bedridden, her life hanging by a thread?" Su Wen probed.
"Is that so?" Yan Shaozhe was taken aback.
"..."
Su Wen remained silent.
That made sense.
For such a precious disciple as Jiang Nannan, especially one from a commoner background (clean background), Su Wen didn't believe Shrek Academy knew all this and remained indifferent.
Yan Shaozhe wouldn't let such a good opportunity to win people over pass by.
There was only one possibility.
Perhaps Jiang Nannan was driven by pride, or perhaps she simply didn't know her talent was so outstanding that Shrek Academy would take a gamble, so she didn't mention it to the academy.
Or perhaps she did mention it, but her teacher didn't take it seriously and didn't report it, leading Yan Shaozhe to be unaware, causing Jiang Nannan to mistakenly believe that the higher-ups were unwilling to help her, thus sadly deciding to sacrifice herself to save her mother.
But now that he knew about it,
Su Wen smiled.
That certainly won't let your Xuanming Sect succeed again.
Disciples of Shrek Academy shouldn't be stumped by such things.
Jiang Nannan's mother has a heart problem.
The original story only says that the largest local clinic can't cure it, but whether it can be cured is perhaps up to the Xuanming Sect.
The Xuanwu Divine Pill is probably not the only solution.
Besides, even if they can't, they can always invite Elder Zhuang over!
A level 95 Super Douluo, one of the top three healing experts on the continent, can't he cure a small heart condition?
Su Wen raised the corners of his mouth. I'm the kind of person who loves doing good deeds...
...
On the other side.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's team also headed north, crossing the Star Dou Great Forest, their destination the Xuanming Sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Going to the Xuanming Sect to discuss business was true, but meeting Su Wen was genuine; discussing business was just a coincidence.
Seeing Ning Tian looking dejected, his beautiful eyes frequently glancing behind him, Wu Feng gritted her teeth.
"Sorry, Young Sect Master," she thought, "I had no choice but to resort to this to save you from your dire straits."
She secretly approached Zhu Douluo and whispered a few words in his ear.
Just as she was filled with smug joy, Zhu Douluo stared at her strangely.
"You're just a dowry maid, why are you so concerned?"
The air suddenly fell silent.
Wu Feng's mouth dropped open in astonishment as she pointed at herself: "Me, a dowry maid?!"
"Isn't that right?" Zhu Douluo smiled gently. "If the young lady gets married, won't you have to go with her?"
Wu Feng:
"..."
The girl deflated like a punctured balloon, leaving with teary eyes.
She hadn't expected that not only the young lady would be dragged down with her!
"Waaah."
Upon seeing Ning Tian, Wu Feng couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" Ning Tian was bewildered, looking at the girl who had rushed into his arms.
This child was usually so carefree; what had happened to her today?
"Elder Zhu said he'd also marry me off to Su Wen."
Wu Feng sobbed, her pretty face streaked with tears.
"You hate him?" Ning Tian coughed lightly.
"Well, not really." Wu Feng hesitated for a moment.
