76: I'll make things difficult for you until they're worn out.

Su Wen opened the door, preparing to head to Bai Yinger's room to investigate.

A figure stood at the door; it was the black-robed man who had just returned.

"Hehe, kid, I couldn't find you outside, so I knew you were still in the room."

"It truly surprises me that you are actually skilled in concealment, causing even me to be careless for a moment."

Su Wen's expression changed slightly as he quickly backed away.

At the same time, a cloud of pink mist drifted out.

As A Rou appeared, the black ten-thousand-year spirit ring beneath her feet instantly lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"

A Rou grabbed Su Wen and vanished from the room in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint floral scent behind.

Seeing this, the black-robed man froze for a moment before his gaze immediately locked onto a direction.

Nine spirit rings rose beneath his feet as he turned into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

"How strange. That woman can use concealment and Teleportation, yet there's no mention of her in the intelligence!"

A Rou's Third Soul Skill, Teleportation, could cover a distance of a hundred meters each time and could be used five times consecutively within half an incense stick's time.

If moving within a hundred meters, it could be used ten times consecutively.

A Rou took Su Wen several hundred meters away and then ran off into the distance by herself.

Su Wen used Ah Yin's concealment ability to return to the Ye residence once more.

He wasn't worried about A Rou; at a critical moment, she could completely turn into mist and return to his spirit ring.

Even if an accident truly occurred, she could be resurrected a month later.

As long as he didn't die, they couldn't die.

This was also the power of the first spirit ring.

At this moment, on the roof of the Ye residence, Bai Yinger and Ghost Douluo stood together.

Bai Yinger looked into the distance with a bitter and worried expression: "Will Elder Serpent Lance act recklessly?"

"No, he just wants to see Su Wen's abilities..."

Ghost Douluo's voice was calm, but his heart was filled with unease.

It wasn't so much that Snake Lance Douluo wanted to test him as it was the Young Lord.

The Young Lord already knew that Su Wen had arrived in Heaven Dou City.

As Bibi Dong's Disciple, Su Wen received extra attention from her.

Ghost Douluo didn't dare disobey her orders; he only hoped that when today's events reached Bibi Dong, he wouldn't get into trouble.

"Eh? Isn't that Young Master Su Wen?"

Seeing Su Wen jump over the wall into the Ye residence, Bai Yinger was both pleasantly surprised and confused: "Young Master Su Wen is back, so who is Elder Serpent Lance chasing?"

"This..."

Elder Gui was equally surprised.

Su Wen also spotted them.

Bai Yinger was unharmed, and standing beside her was a man in black robes—only he was completely different from the one before; his attire looked very much like Gui Mei's.

Watching the two walk toward him, Su Wen realized that the one protecting him in secret was actually Ghost Douluo. So, was that guy just testing him?

Ordered by Bibi Dong?

"Young Master Su Wen, are you alright?"

Bai Yinger came closer and looked him over.

Seeing that he had no injuries, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Hehe, not sleeping in the middle of the night—you guys really know how to cause trouble!"

Su Wen was speechless. Knowing it was Bibi Dong's order, otherwise he would have really made things difficult for them.

The kind where he'd give them tight shoes until they rot!

Not testing him earlier or later, but exactly when he wanted to achieve a Breakthrough.

With this commotion, he would be delayed for many more days.

Bai Yinger's face reddened slightly, and she remained silent for a moment.

Ghost Douluo also remained silent; such things were hard to explain.

If he spoke carelessly about Qian Renxue's affairs, disaster would surely befall him.

"Who was that guy chasing me?"

Su Wen was curious about how many people Bibi Dong had sent.

"Elder Serpent Lance!"

Bai Yinger told him truthfully.

"I see, Snake Lance Douluo!"

Su Wen realized.

It wasn't Bibi Dong.

Snake Lance Douluo belonged to the Hall of Worship lineage.

His current mission should be protecting Qian Renxue.

Su Wen narrowed his eyes: "Elder Gui, pass a message to Elder Serpent Lance for me. Thank him for tonight's hospitality. I'll have Aunt Ye come and thank him for today's events—thank him for interrupting my imminent Breakthrough..."

Su Wen couldn't mention Qian Renxue; he shouldn't know her at this point, so he could only use Snake Lance Douluo for compensation.

"This..."

Bai Yinger froze, and Ghost Douluo was also break into a cold sweat.

"Go on!"

Su Wen looked at the sky.

Scaring me in the middle of the night—I'll scare him too.

He yawned and walked into the room, feeling like he was no longer in the mood to Cultivate.

"E-Elder Gui, then... then I'll head down to rest as well!"

Bai Yinger glanced at Ghost Douluo and hurriedly slipped away.

In the First Prince's palace, Qian Renxue, dressed in court attire, sat in the main seat, looking at the returning Snake Lance Douluo with a slightly surprised expression: "You didn't find him?"

"Old Snake, you're joking, right? Isn't Su Wen just a Spirit Elder? How could you lose him?"

Beside him, Ci Xue Douluo looked at him with a strange expression.

Snake Lance Douluo's face reddened under the gaze; he had indeed been careless, not taking a mere Spirit Elder seriously, only to be led on a chase.

"Young Lord, when I followed the scent and caught up, I found only that woman. But she had Su Wen's scent on her. I was about to capture her for interrogation when she turned into a cloud of mist and vanished. No matter how I searched, I couldn't find a trace of her. I found it strange too."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Qian Renxue immediately understood what happened: "Hehe, it seems Su Wen's specific information was hidden by that woman. He appears to be more special than I imagined; no wonder that woman took him as a Disciple... Never mind, let's leave it at that for now."

"Xue Qinghe has already started to suspect me lately."

"I've almost finished learning his habits. It's time to find an opportunity to replace him!"

Buzz!

Just then, a slight ripple of Soul Power drifted into the room. Snake Lance and Ci Xue Douluo immediately became alert and quickly moved in front of Qian Renxue.

The next moment, their vigilant gazes relaxed.

They were familiar with this Soul Power aura.

Soon, a mass of black mist drifted into the room, and Ghost Douluo's figure emerged from it.

He bowed slightly toward Qian Renxue: "Young Lord!"

Qian Renxue nodded gently: "Elder Gui, is there something?"

"I'm here to pass a message from Su Wen to Snake Lance Douluo!"

Ghost Douluo's gaze fell on Snake Lance Douluo, who looked confused. Qian Renxue was also curious: "Hehe, what does that kid have to say? Elder Gui, did you tell him about me?"

"No."

Ghost Douluo shook his head hurriedly; he wouldn't dare speak carelessly about such a matter.

Ghost Douluo repeated Su Wen's words to Snake Lance Douluo, then after a thought, added at the end: "He was at a critical moment of Breakthrough; Elder Serpent Lance's arrival was indeed ill-timed."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

She had heard of Spirit Kite Douluo as well.

A Titled Douluo who emerged in the last three years, whose Spirit is a Phoenix.

She recently received news that she had reached level 95.

Her Cultivation speed can be said to be extremely fast.

The matter of the Speed Clan was a hot topic a while ago.

Rumor has it they were completely slaughtered by a fire-attribute Spirit Master.

She suspected that Spirit Kite Douluo was the one who did it.
