Its bloodline is not weak at all, "Du Xiaoyao scurried up to Du Shaofu's shoulder and looked at the Little Tiger with some surprise and surprise in its eyes. It could even feel that the aura on the Little Tiger's body was not just ordinarily strong.
"It has the aura of atavism, the aura of the Dark Heavenly Tiger, and the aura of the Golden-Winged Great Roc. It is indeed very strong. Once it matures, it will definitely not be much weaker than the White Tiger," Zhen Qingchun sighed in amazement. This kind of transformation could be considered a miracle among the beast tribes.
Du Shaofu smiled slightly. The Little Tiger's breakthrough to the Beast Lord realm this time could be said to be a series of consecutive breakthroughs, and its progress was astonishing.
However, the greatest benefit that the Little Tiger had obtained was not the consecutive breakthroughs in its cultivation level, but the changes in its bloodline.
The black tiger essence blood that it had obtained back then should have come from the Dark Heavenly Tiger that Zhen Qingchun had mentioned. In addition, the Little Tiger had once consumed some of the blood in its body that was equivalent to the Golden-Winged Great Roc, and the Little Tiger itself showed signs of atavism. Under these changes, the Little Tiger was definitely not something that the average beast tribe member could compare to.
Dusk. As the sun set, the glow of the surrounding mountains gradually faded, and a silvery grey glow enveloped the mountains. As the sun gradually set in the west, the night grew thicker and thicker.
When Du Shaofu and the others returned to the Weapons Department, they saw an uninvited guest. It was a delicate and pretty girl.
Du Shaofu was no stranger to this person. She was a senior sister that he had seen many times before. She had been with Li Xue back then, and was also Ouyang Shuang's friend. Her name was Zhang Jin, and it was said that she and Li Xue were distant cousins.
After Zhang Jin arrived, she pulled Ouyang Shuang aside and said something. Her expression was grave, and her beautiful face was filled with worry.
A moment later, night fell completely. In the small hall of the courtyard, Ouyang Shuang, Du Xiaoman, Du Shaofu, Du Xiaoqing, Du Xiaoyao, and Zhang Jing were all sitting upright.
Du Shaofu's face darkened. He had just learned from Ouyang Shuang that Zhang Jin had come to look for Ouyang Shuang because of Li Xue.
Du Shaofu learned from Zhang Jing that the Qian Clan had made things difficult for Li Xue after she had escorted Qiang Guyu back to the Li Clan. The Qian Clan had pushed all the blame onto Li Xue. In order to prevent a falling out between the Qian Clan and the Li Clan, the Li Clan had no choice but to allow Li Xue to marry the crippled Qiang Guyu.
"Since Li Xue is unwilling, where is she now?"
Du Shaofu frowned slightly. No matter what, the responsibility for this matter did not lie with him, but at this moment, it was more or less related to him.
"Cousin Li Xue has been imprisoned by the elders of the clan. In order to prevent a falling out between the Li Clan and the Qian Clan, Cousin Li Xue had no choice but to silently accept it."
Zhang Jing looked at Du Shaofu and said, "But I know that Cousin Li Xue is unwilling to marry Qiang Guyu. It is said that Qiang Guyu's personality has changed greatly after he was crippled. If Cousin Li Xue were to marry Qiang Guyu now, there would be no happiness to speak of."
"This matter was decided by the Li Clan, and Li Xue has already chosen to silently accept it. What can we do?"
Du Shaofu frowned. This matter was between the Qian Clan and the Li Clan. Even if others wanted to interfere, there was nothing they could do.
Ouyang Shuang's eyes moved as she looked at Du Shaofu. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Junior Sister Zhang Jin's intention is to ask for your help. With your current reputation and status, you might have a chance to convince the Li Family so that Li Xue won't suffer grievances for the rest of her life."
"Me?" Du Shaofu was slightly taken aback.
"That's right. With your current reputation, even in the capital, if you can go to the Li Clan, perhaps you can save Cousin Li Xue." Zhang Jing looked at Du Shaofu with anticipation. She came this time in hopes of inviting Du Shaofu to go to the Li Clan in the capital.
"What do you think?" Du Shaofu hesitated, then looked at Ouyang Shuang and asked.
Ouyang Shuang said, "If possible, I also hope that you can help. After all, this matter is related to both of us."
Du Shaofu pondered for a while, then looked up at Du Xiaoman and said, "Elder sister, is the Du Household also in the capital?"
"The eight Imperial Households are all in the capital, and the Du Household is no exception." Du Xiaoman nodded.
"Alright, let's make a trip to the capital tomorrow." Du Shaofu said to Ouyang Shuang and Zhang Jing. His eyes flickered. Perhaps he should also make a trip to the Du Household if he had the chance.
"That's great, I want to go too. I can finally go out and play."
Hearing this, the one who was the happiest was Du Xiaoqing. She was so excited that she danced with joy.
The next morning, in Tianwu Academy, the Little Tiger transformed into its true form and flapped its wings. Du Shaofu rode on its back and left the academy, heading towards the Stone Dragon Empire.
Accompanying him were Ouyang Shuang, Zhang Jing, Du Xiaoqing, and Du Xiaoyao. However, Du Xiaoman didn't come along. She only told Du Shaofu to be careful and to pay more attention to the Du Household in the capital.
Du Shaofu left the academy for a period of time and no one cared about him. There were only four people in the Blacksmith Department, and there were no teachers or elders in charge of the Blacksmith Department. Thus, he had the most freedom. Furthermore, with Du Shaofu's current status in the academy, there weren't many people who would care about him.
As for Zhang Jing and Ouyang Shuang, they applied for leave from the Elders that very night and it was approved without a hitch. To the older students, the academy didn't restrict their freedom too much.
The Little Tiger flapped its wings and the air whistled as fast as lightning.
"Something seems to have happened in the capital of the Stone Dragon Empire recently. All the people in the academy who are related to the capital have been summoned back," Zhang Jing said while riding on the Little Tiger's back.
"No wonder the general, Gu Xinyan, Guo Shaofeng, Gui Wa, and Wu Que all went back. So something big happened in the capital. Maybe we can see something interesting when we go there." Ouyang Shuang smiled.
"They're all from the capital?" Du Shaofu was astonished. No wonder he didn't see them.
"Junior Du, you're so close to the general and Gu Xinyan. Don't tell me you really don't know?"
Zhang Jing was astonished. She couldn't believe it. In the academy, there weren't many people who didn't know about the existence behind the general and the others.
Ouyang Shuang naturally knew that Du Shaofu wasn't lying. Her red lips slightly parted as she said, "The capital has eight major palaces. The general, Gui Wa, Gu Xinyan, Wu Que, and Guo Shaofeng all come from one of the eight major palaces. The eight major palaces are the eight strongest forces in the Stone Dragon Empire. They are also the strongest forces in the Stone Dragon Empire. The eight major palaces are led by the Du Palace. "
"They're all back in the capital. We should be able to see them there." Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect those guys to have such an extraordinary background. The backing behind them wasn't small at all.
"Big Brother, can we rob them along the way?"
Du Qingqing stood on the Little Tiger's back and asked while looking at Du Shaofu with anticipation.
However, as soon as Du Qingqing finished speaking, Zhang Jin's delicate face suddenly became a little dazed.
Ouyang Shuang glared hatefully at Du Shaofu. In Ouyang Shuang's heart, all of this was caused by Du Shaofu. She didn't know what Du Shaofu taught Xiaoqing to make her think of robbing others.
"We can't rob them. Let's go to the capital first." Du Shaofu clicked his tongue as he looked at Ouyang Shuang's eyes. He could only feel helpless in his heart.
The distance from Tianwu Academy to the capital wasn't short. However, with the Little Tiger's current speed, it was much faster.
According to Zhang Jing's estimation, with the Little Tiger's terrifying speed, it would take them at most four to five days to reach the capital.
A moment later, everyone sat down cross-legged on the Little Tiger's back and began to meditate and cultivate.
Even Du Xiaoyao had entered a certain kind of cultivation state, and a layer of faint golden light lingered around her body.
Du Shaofu carried a broadsword on his back and sat down cross-legged. As he formed a seal with his hands, an ancient aura spread out. Following which, his body was enveloped by a white light that resembled a divine radiance …
Night fell, covering the vast and boundless city.
Within the buildings, the moonlight shone on them.
"Scram, all of you, scram! I'm already a cripple, so why do you still care about me? Scram!"
"Dang lang … peng peng …"
Ear-piercing screams and the sound of things being smashed reverberated in the air. Outside the room, the servants were trembling in fear.
"Kacha …"
In the main hall, a middle-aged man with a sinister expression waved his hand and a thick wooden table beside him was smashed into smithereens.
"How did my son end up like this? Why is that Du Shaofu so heartless as to turn me into a cripple and make my son suffer a fate worse than death?" In the main hall, a woman was sobbing uncontrollably with tears in her eyes.
"This matter is also related to that woman from the Li Clan. Since she doesn't know how to appreciate favors and is unwilling to marry into our Qian Clan, we will not let her off. I will make sure that she serves my son for the rest of her life. No matter how extraordinary that Du Shaofu is, my Qian Clan will not let him off for crippling my son Guyu!"
The sinister-looking man bellowed as a cold glint shot out from his eyes. His son, Qiangu Yu, possessed astonishing talent and was ranked at the top of Tianwu Academy's Martial Ranking. It was believed that he had a high chance of stepping into the Martial King realm in the future and bringing glory to the Qian Clan. Since young, he had been nurtured as the successor of the Qian Clan. However, now that everything had been destroyed, how could he let go of such a heartache?
Under the night sky, the moonlight shone down on the buildings.
In a beautifully decorated room, a charming and seductive figure stood in front of the window. The curves of her body were moving. She raised her head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky. Her gaze made one's heart break and feel sorry for her.
In the room, a tall and skinny middle-aged man stood behind Li Xue. Gazing at her slender back, his eyes reddened as he said, "Xue 'er, father knows that you have been wronged, but your uncle has his own difficulties as well. You should know the strength of our Li Clan and Qian Clan. If it was back then, it wouldn't have mattered. However, now that the Qian Clan is allied with the Du Household …"
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, the seductive woman turned around and said, "Father, I understand the Li Clan's difficulties. Since this matter was caused by me, I will bear the responsibility."
