176 Dai Yun'er Concerns

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and said, "Then you're wasting your time. They probably won't join the soul master competition, or they don't care about it at all."

Dai Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then said, "The winner of the singles competition gets a soul bone, and they're not interested in that either? How is that possible?"

Soul bones were a rare treasure for most soul masters, but Tang Wulin wasn't sure if they mattered to Anping and Gu Yuena.

He might have thought they would join the competition for the soul bone before, but after meeting Di Tian, who guarded Anping and Gu Yuena on the ship, he doubted Dai Yun'er's reasoning.

Cai Yue'er had said that the man who called Anping and Gu Yuena young master and lady was almost an limit Douluo, if not one already.

Tang Wulin knew that Mu Ye, the leader of the Body Sect, was not very strong, but he had the advantage of the Body Sect's secret technique. He was not someone an ordinary Titled Douluo could defeat. The fact that Di Tian had destroyed Mu Ye showed that he was far stronger than him.

With a guard like that, or maybe even more than one, Tang Wulin didn't think Anping and Gu Yuena would need a soul bone.

Dai Yun'er waved her hand in front of Tang Wulin and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem so distracted since you met Anping? Do you have a crush on him?"

Tang Wulin's face turned red at her teasing words, and he quickly denied it. "How could I like him? We don't have any grudge. I was just thinking about something."

Dai Yun'er was just joking with him, and she said, "You don't have any grudge? You don't look like it."

Tang Wulin didn't want to talk about the Golden Dragon Spear. He just mentioned his bloodline power and the conflict on the ship.

Dai Yun'er said, "That's not a grudge? That's trouble you brought on yourself, whether it's from Sun Moon Academy or Mu Ye."

Tang Wulin shrugged and said, "Let's not talk about that. Do you really think people like them, who have Limit Douluo behind them, would join your soul master competition for a soul bone?"

When Tang Wulin said that Anping and Gu Yuena had more than one Titled Douluo with them, and maybe even an Limit Douluo, Dai Yun'er felt a surge of suspicion. She was a princess of the Star Luo Empire, and she knew they had no Limit Douluo yet. Why would someone come to their empire with a possible Limit Douluo? What was their motive?

She exchanged a few more words with Tang Wulin and left in a hurry. Tang Wulin was puzzled by her sudden departure. She had been bothering him ever since the royal welcome banquet.

But now that she was gone, he had more time to work on his battle armor and get ready for the soul master competition. He was also curious about the Monster Academy in the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Yun'er headed straight for the palace. She was the only princess in the empire, and no one dared to stop her.

Dai Yun'er ran to Dai Tianling's study, where he was busy with some paperwork. He looked up and smiled warmly when he saw her. "I thought you were going to spy on Shrek Academy. Did you find out anything so soon?"

He knew Dai Yun'er had been following Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy, but he wasn't worried. They were in the Star Luo Empire, and nothing would happen to his daughter here.

Dai Yun'er said, "I didn't learn anything about Shrek Academy, but I heard something else that might be important for our empire."

Dai Tianling put down his document and said, "This is the first time I've seen you so serious, my little princess. Tell me what you heard."

Dai Yun'er told him about Anping and Gu Yuena, and how they had brought several Titled Douluo with them. She also mentioned that there might be an Limit Douluo among them.

"Limit Douluo, what a coveted realm." Dai Tianling sighed and said, "I already knew about this. The exchange team reported it when they came back."

Dai Yun'er realized then that Tang Wulin had told her what had happened on their ship in the Star Luo Empire. Of course the exchange team would have told her father as soon as they landed.

She felt embarrassed and said, "If you already knew, do you think they have a hidden agenda?"

Dai Tianling sighed again and said, "He's an Limit Douluo, a rare and powerful being in the world. Even if they have a scheme, what can we do to stop them? We'll just act as if nothing happened. That's enough."

He felt helpless about this. Even if they weren't Limit Douluo, but close to it, they could do whatever they wanted in the Star Luo Continent. He couldn't stop them.

Why did their Star Luo Empire have no Limit Douluo to protect them? How could they suffer such humiliation?

Dai Yun'er had a sudden thought and said, "Do you think they're after that place?"

She meant Dragon Valley. It was the only major event that she could think of that would happen in the Star Luo Empire soon.

Dragon Valley was not far from Star Luo City. It was controlled by the Tang Sect, but their relationship with the Star Luo Empire was well known.

Every time Dragon Valley opened, the Star Luo royal family got a certain number of entries. Dai Yun'er had one of them for the next opening.

Dai Tianling understood what she meant and said, "Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. It's not our concern. I'll inform the Tang Sect about this. Whatever happens, it's not our problem."

He said that, but he knew they had no control over what Anping and Gu Yuena did. They could only watch and wait.

He still had faith in the Tang Sect. They were not only advanced in technology, but also mysterious in strength.
