NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102: Chapter 102
After Everyone registered their points, then they left the fighting spirit arena.
"Boss Dai, do you want to go out and have some fun today?" Ma Hongjun suddenly asked Dai Mubai with a mischievous grin
In the past, Dai Mubai would have been tempted but not today and His fiancée was here and he had to refuse "No! I don't have such bad taste as you."
"Hmph, disgusting!" Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly and walked away alone. She could easily tell that Dai Mubai used to frequent such places and now he was merely pretending to be pure in front of her.
"You!" Dai Mubai wanted to get angry at her remark, but deep down, he knew he felt guilty toward her Swallowing his frustration he unclenched his fists and walked off in another direction.
Seeing Dai Mubai leave Tianlin turned toward Ma Hongjun with a serious expression "Hongjun, you're not allowed to go to those kinds of places anymore. Don't forget, you now have the Bingpo Pill, and the evil fire has been suppressed. From now on, you must not indulge in such desires. Otherwise, you can forget about joining my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan!"
In the past, Ma Hongjun had no choice but to visit brothels due to his condition and Tianlin understood that but however, things were different now. He couldn't allow the future powerhouse of the clan to indulge in such depravity while etrength was important but character mattered more.
Flanders also stepped forward and his tone stern "Hongjun, Tianlin is right. I let you go before to control the evil fire, but now there's another way. From this moment on, I will never allow you to fall into those bad habits again. Otherwise, how will you ever be worthy of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's trust?"
Hearing the combined admonitions from both his boss and teacher Ma Hongjun nodded solemnly "Boss, Teacher, don't worry I won't go to those places again."
Tianlin smiled and patting Ma Hongjun on the shoulder "Good! That's the right attitude. Overcoming your own desires is also a form of spiritual training and if you remain disciplined and grow stronger many girls will naturally be drawn to you. When that time comes, whether you want three wives or four concubines, I'll personally prepare a big red envelope for you."
After handling Ma Hongjun Tianlin shifted his attention to Tang San "Brother Tang, it's our turn now. Let's talk alone as we agreed."
Tang San had been eagerly waiting for this moment. Pointing in a direction he said "Brother Jun, follow me."
The two left the group and walked away. Ning Rongrong remained silent. She knew that Tianlin must have something private to discuss with Tang San, so she obediently followed Flanders and the others back to Shrek Academy. However Xiao Wu was less understanding. Feeling displeased that Tang San left without her so she quietly followed behind.
Tianlin and Tang San arrived at a park in the center of Soto City. The night was deep and the streets were empty.
Stopping in the middle of the park Tang San turned around "Brother Jun, there's no one here. If you have something to say, just say it."
Tianlin nodded his voice transmitting directly into Tang San's ears "Brother Tang, let's keep this conversation private. You should respond the same way. Walls may have ears."
Tang San frowned but understood the precaution. He knew Xiao Wu had followed them and assumed Tianlin was being cautious of her presence Nodding he replied in kind. "Understood, Brother Jun."
The technique of transmitting sound directly to someone's ear wasn't particularly profound. Many clans possessed similar techniques. Both the Shushan Clan and the Tang Sect had their own variations.
"Brother Jun, you seem to know about the Tang Sect. Are you... perhaps from the same sect as me?" Tang San carefully probed and still uncertain whether Tianlin was a fellow reincarnator or simply someone who had learned about the Tang Sect through other means.
Tianlin chuckled softly and seeing through Tang San's cautious nature "Brother Tang, no need to test me. I'm a reincarnator just like you. I recognized your techniques during the battle—your footwork was the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and your glowing eyes were clearly the Purple Demon Eye. Both are secret arts of the Tang Sect."
Tang San's heart trembled. Could it be that this person was also a reincarnator like him?
What Tianlin sought to do was simple: fool Tang San into believing they were fellow reincarnator. This way he could later reveal knowledge about the Tang Sect without raising suspicion.
Tang San remained silent for a moment, considering his options. His instincts told him to be wary. He briefly entertained the thought of eliminating Tianlin to safeguard his own secret and yet, upon reflection, he realized it wasn't feasible. Tianlin was now a core figure within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. Offending him rashly would bring countless troubles.
In the end, Tang San's murderous intent faded. Instead he smiled warmly "I never expected to meet another reincarnator in this world. At first, I suspected it from your unique sword techniques. They clearly weren't from this world. I'm curious—where are you from?"
Tianlin smiled "I'm from the Shushan Sect."
Tang San blinked and unfamiliar with the name "Shushan Sect? I've never heard of it."
"Of course you haven't" Tianlin replied "Our Shushan Sect is a hidden clan. It's only natural that you wouldn't know of it."
Tang San clasped his fists and bowed "Thank you for enlightening me. Please forgive my ignorance."
Tianlin chuckled secretly relieved. He had anticipated that Tang San would be much more cautious and yet he seemed to have gained Tang San's trust with ease.
Meanwhile, two figures were hidden in the shadows, observing the entire exchange.
"What are they saying? That bowing gesture—I've never seen anything like it. Yin Mengyang, is this some sort of etiquette practiced by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan?" Tang Hao asked curiously
Yin Mengyang shook his head "No, I've never seen Jun Tianlin greet anyone like that before. And it certainly isn't from your Haotian Sect either."
Naturally neither of them could comprehend what they were witnessing. The bowing gesture and the conversation method were both remnants from martial arts worlds unknown to the Douluo Continent. Only Tang San and Tianlin with their shared knowledge from another world understood its significance.
