I Can Devour Spirits

Xiao Yu saw that she had already wounded Luan Bao, and immediately jumped back, cupping her fists and saying, ”Brother Luan Bao, you let me win!”

Luan Bao’s face was quite unsightly, but his skills were inferior, and he had nothing to say.

Luan Jingfu stood beside the Martial Arts Arena, his face turning as black as a pot’s bottom. He instantly saw through Xiao Yu’s intentions, and couldn’t help but burn with anger. Watching Xiao Yu on the Martial Arts Arena, with her garments fluttering, he cursed under his breath, ”This woman is vicious!”

Luan Jingfu turned his head towards Xiao Zongting who was not far away, gritting his teeth and said, ”Elder Xiao has really raised a good daughter!”

Of course, Xiao Zongting could see that Xiao Yu intentionally wounded Luan Bao, but since Luan Jingfu was mocking him, he was not willing to show weakness and retorted, ”Luan Bao was not bad either.”

Just now, Xiao Yu acted obscurely, only Ruan Fengshan, Luan Jingfu, Xiao Zongting, and Duan Rong saw through her. She could have easily disarmed Luan Bao without wounding him to win.

This way, it wouldn’t affect Luan Bao’s upcoming duel with Duan Rong!

But instead, Xiao Yu purposely suppressed her Inner Breath, didn’t disarm Luan Bao, and seized the opportunity to wound him. Her intention was evidently to ensure that Luan Bao wouldn’t win the next match either.

From Xiao Yu’s standpoint, she wanted to ensure Duan Rong could secure a spot.

But in Luan Jingfu’s eyes, Xiao Yu was targeting Luan Bao, taking the chance to provoke on behalf of her father due to the perpetual discord between him and Xiao Zongting.

The surroundings of the Martial Arts Arena erupted with loud cheers again. Those Escort Masters naturally couldn’t see that Xiao Yu intentionally wounded Luan Bao, and were all cheering for her elegant performance... Let alone them, even Luan Bao on the field couldn’t tell at that moment.

Xiao Yu had already jumped off the Martial Arts Arena.

Luan Bao was standing there, clutching his wound.

Ruan Fengshan looked at Duan Rong and said, ”Duan Rong, it’s your turn!”

Luan Jingfu’s brow twitched. He believed Ruan Fengshan could see through it too. But Ruan Fengshan purposely pretended not to know. It was already clear: they were going to let Luan Bao lose the spot.

Not only the sixty thousand silver coins pained Luan Jingfu, but with Luan Bao defeated like this, they lost face in front of the Escort Agency crowd.

At this moment, Duan Rong felt a bit embarrassed.

Originally, he had thought of a way to sell a flaw, but due to Luan Bao’s sudden injury, he couldn’t use it.

Under such circumstances, selling another flaw was too obvious.

Duan Rong sighed inwardly. This Xiao Yu, despite good intentions, only caused trouble for him.

He naturally understood Xiao Yu’s thoughts; she went to great lengths to injure Luan Bao just so he could win the spot.

Now, with Xiao Yu’s actions, he really became a duck driven on stage, and he had to win even if he didn’t want to.

Duan Rong hesitantly jumped onto the Martial Arts Arena, glancing a bit resentfully at Luan Bao. ”Brother Luan, how about you bandage your wound first?”

Just then, Luan Jingfu suddenly flashed, darting onto the Martial Arts Arena, grabbing Luan Bao and leaping down, saying, ”We’re forfeiting this fight, no need to compete.”

After Luan Jingfu spoke, he led Luan Bao away. As he left, his snake-like eyes savagely glared at Xiao Yu.

Duan Rong stood in the Martial Arts Arena, with a broad view, and noticed Luan Jingfu’s unfriendly gaze, he immediately worriedly glanced at Xiao Yu.

Seeing Duan Rong looking at her, Xiao Yu smiled back at him.

Duan Rong’s eligibility to participate in next year’s Taiyi Sect’s registered disciples election made her heart quite happy. She didn’t even care about the sinister look from Luan Jingfu when he left.

Looking at Xiao Yu, Duan Rong sighed internally, ”This girl is really reckless!”

Ruan Fengshan smiled and said, ”Since Mr. Luan has given up the second match, Duan Rong wins. The two who received spots are Duan Rong and Xiao Yu!”

After Ruan Fengshan spoke, his gaze pierced through the crowd, watching the departing backs of Luan Jingfu and Luan Bao. His move not only took away Luan Bao’s spot but also shattered Luan Jingfu’s prestige in front of the Escort Agency crowd.

Moreover, he already had a plan in mind.

Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, even if they could be selected as registered disciples, they likely would return after three years. After all, becoming an Outer Disciple is not that easy to achieve.

There’s no need to mention Xiao Yu, who grew up in the Escort Agency.

Moreover, through this sponsorship registration, he and Duan Rong have formed a goodwill connection. Duan Rong should also return to the Escort Agency.

Therefore, the position of Chief Leader after Luan Jingfu would be decided between Duan Rong and Xiao Yu!

After the messy accounting affair, Ruan Fengshan saw clearly that the people he trained himself were the reliable ones. And both Duan Rong and Xiao Yu were trained by Xiao Zongting. He trusts the character of Xiao Zongting’s lineage!

With the Escort Agency matters stable, he could free up his hands to fully develop the Filthy Blood Sect’s branch there.

The benefits on the Filthy Blood Sect’s side are absolutely incomparable to mundane silver coins and fame. Otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much, neglecting the Escort Agency’s business affairs.

Also, when the time is right, he might even consider bringing Duan Rong into the sect. After all, the Filthy Blood Sect also needed fresh strength, especially someone as talented as Duan Rong.

If he could make Duan Rong understand the marvels of the Filthy Blood Technique, he believed no one could resist such temptation... He had deep personal experience regarding this.

Duan Rong jumped off the Martial Arts Arena, immediately surrounded by many Escort Masters congratulating him, many of whom he usually didn’t know well.

Even Xiao Zongting’s gaze at Duan Rong had changed somewhat. He limped over, patting Duan Rong’s shoulder, saying, ”Duan, nicely done!”

Duan Rong’s revealing the messy accounting issue, Xiao Zongting was very supportive, not only because overturning Xu Shouxian was beneficial to him. He also believed Yuan Shun Escort Agency couldn’t continue to rot.

Therefore, just now at Juyi Hall, even though he had some objections to Ruan Fengshan burning the letter of indictment and not pursuing further, he understood Ruan Fengshan’s considerations, especially since Ruan Fengshan publicly confessed himself and said he would personally check accounts from now on. Only then did Xiao Zongting suppress his opposing words.

In his view, Duan Rong’s accomplishments this time were obviously great because he exposed the messy accounting and rooted out pests, allowing Yuan Shun Escort Agency to get back on track instead of remaining rotten...

Actually, not only did Xiao Zongting think this way, but most of the wide Escort Masters who didn’t profit from the messy accounting had similar thoughts.

So they all came around to congratulate Duan Rong.

After this incident, Duan Rong gained the hearts of the middle and lower-class Escort Masters in the Escort Agency.

Toward the congratulations from various Escort Masters, Duan Rong responded with a hearty smile, one by one.

As the crowd slowly dispersed, Duan Rong turned his head and saw Xiao Yu already following Xiao Zongting back to her courtyard. Duan Rong glanced at Xiao Yu’s departing figure from afar before hurriedly leaving the Escort Agency.

Leaving the Escort Agency, Duan Rong immediately went to Ximen Kankan’s Snow Cover Residence, where at this moment, Ximen Kankan had shut the doors, alone inside appreciating Xia Shuangshuang’s erotic physique...

As Duan Rong arrived, Shi Kang was guarding the door of Snow Cover Residence.

Duan Rong tried to go in but was stopped by Shi Kang, who claimed Ximen Kankan wasn’t there.

Duan Rong saw the tightly shut doors of Snow Cover Residence, with Shi Kang guarding it, clearly something was up, so he shouted at the door, ”Kankan, if you don’t open the door, I’ll break in. I’ll count to three...”

Just as Duan Rong counted to two, Ximen Kankan opened the door. Duan Rong glanced at him and noticed his slightly listless eyes.

Duan Rong stepped in, sniffed around, looked everywhere, suspiciously eyeing Ximen Kankan, saying, ”What were you just doing?”

Ximen Kankan’s chubby face twitched, a bit annoyed. ”Can’t I have some time to myself?”

Suddenly, Duan Rong burst into laughter, took a long time to stop, then said, ”Sorry, Kankan, I’m really urgent. I’ll be more careful next time...”

Ximen Kankan looked at Duan Rong’s mischievous laughter, instantly feeling disheartened. He sighed, saying, ”What’s the urgent matter?”

Duan Rong said, ”Well... The registration matter we talked about last time? And the Recommendation Letter from the gentry... Is that done?”

Ximen Kankan said, ”Not yet. My father went to Prefecture City a few days ago, he should be back in a couple of days, it won’t be delayed.”

Duan Rong’s heart relaxed, saying, ”If it’s not done, then refund me the money.”

Ximen Kankan was shocked, ”Refund? You’re not registering?”

Duan Rong touched his nose and said, ”I have other channels.”

Ruan Fengshan has already agreed to fund his registration, and Duan Rong wasn’t worried about Ruan Fengshan going back on his word. He had agreed publicly, and if he couldn’t register Duan Rong, it would be publicly shameful in the Escort Agency.
