The next day
Flander then took Li Luochen away. Li Luochen's first stop was Tiandou City, after all, it was the capital of the Tiandou Empire, and he wondered if he would meet someone destined to meet him (a sucker).

"Tang San, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"The unfathomable Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San."
"Greetings, teacher."
Tang San knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Xiaogang.
"Hey! To become an apprentice, all you need to do is bow. Kneeling is for your parents."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San happily, but a fierce glint appeared deep in his eyes.
"The Spirit Hall, the ignorant masses of the continent, and the blind members of my clan—just wait! I will surely achieve great success and prove my theories correct. And that bitch Bibi Dong, she used me and then discarded me. If it weren't for the fact that you are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, I would have already…"
Forget it, at least there's still Erlongmei. But Erlongmei is currently being watched by that bastard Yu Luomian, how infuriating!
The historic scene of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang becoming disciples has been completed, but what does this have to do with Li Luochen? He can only think to himself, "A good-for-nothing is training a genius. Telling a genius who is destined to become a Super Douluo that he will become a Title Douluo in the future."
What's the point of cultivating geniuses? Which faction can't cultivate geniuses? What do you, a level 29 Great Soul Master, have besides a head full of common sense?
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would definitely be ruined if he tried to cultivate it properly, but since he has the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, it doesn't matter after he awakens it.

Riding in the carriage, Li Luochen and Flander looked at the map and headed to Tiandou City as their first stop.
"Xiao Chen, is your first stop Tian Dou City? Prices there are really high. Although we're not short of money right now, the expenses are still really high."
Well, Flander's stingy nature is showing again. Despite being quite wealthy, having made a fortune from Shao Xin's candy beans, Flander always bets a lot of gold soul coins every time Li Luochen engages in a soul battle. I wonder how much money Flander has in his pocket right now.
Why are they still so stingy when they already have so much money?
"Ahem, Dean, didn't you say that one of the corners of your Golden Iron Triangle, the Killing Corner, is Liu Erlong? Your Martial Aunt Erlong runs an academy in Tiandou City, right? Why don't we go stay with her?"
Li Luochen was planning to help Flander out, but why was he playing the good guy? Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong are cousins, and he was trying to match them up? He was clearly fixated on Liu Erlong.
Can he really be modest? Although Flander isn't handsome, he's incredibly strong. He's only in his forties, and at level 78, he's not worried about lacking women.
What's so great about Liu Erlong? She's love-struck and a grumpy female dragon; Li Luochen just can't stand her.
"This...this isn't good. How can we disturb Erlongmei? She already helped me a lot when I hunted for my seventh spirit ring last time. It wouldn't be right to ask her to use her place to cultivate as well."
Flander reminisced about Liu Erlong's figure five years ago. She was still so beautiful and dashing. Her violent attack posture was simply that of a perfect goddess.
Flander's smile grew increasingly lewd, perfectly complementing his already cunning expression, leaving Li Luochen speechless. "Um... Dean? You don't actually like Uncle Erlong, do you? I've heard Uncle Erlong is incredibly handsome and dashing, but with that sly grin on your face, no woman would choose you."
Li Luochen chose to court death, since he wouldn't really die anyway, at most he'd get a beating. Flander might not be the most handsome, but he was strong. Flander and Liu Erlong were a good match in terms of strength, but Flander seemed to be much older than Liu Erlong, maybe more than ten years older.
"Hey! You brat, how dare you mess with me, the dean? Aren't you afraid I'll teach you a lesson? Or make things difficult for you in the academy from now on?"
Flander's lewd smile vanished instantly. Looking at Li Luochen, who had interrupted his sweet dream, a sense of shame and anger rose in his heart!
This brat dared to make fun of him. I have to beat him up, otherwise I, as the dean, will lose my authority.
"Of course not, but Dean, you didn't actually 'guess' me right, did you? You like Aunt Erlong? How come you didn't win her over?"
After hearing this, Flander felt a pang of nostalgia and told Li Luochen about their past as the golden trio.
Li Luochen already knew most of the content, but the details were much richer.
"So, Dean, your other friend, Master of Wisdom Corner, is a bad person. He was having an affair with his own cousin and almost got married, but was caught by his second uncle."
Upon finding out, he actually ran away? Leaving Aunt Erlong, a woman, to bear the gossip? To be honest, Dean, your friend is not like a man at all. According to your story, this Yu Xiaogang is very good at making girls happy.
He used his words to fool naive young women, but frankly, he lost because he was too honest and got snatched away by Yu Xiaogang. Think about it, he didn't have much to offer besides his theories.
What's the use of theory? At your level, you already know most of what you need to know, and knowing too much isn't good either. The world of Soul Masters is a world of the strong; he might not even be able to defeat a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.
Why does Uncle Erlong like such a weak and irresponsible man so much? And you, Dean, seem quite tolerant of him too.
Flander was also enlightened by Li Luochen's words. Yu Xiaogang was actually nothing. He was incredibly weak, but he liked to act like he was profound and unfathomable.
He could tolerate Yu Xiaogang, probably because he liked Liu Erlong, and Liu Erlong liked Yu Xiaogang, so he extended his affection to her. However, Yu Xiaogang had deeply hurt Liu Erlong's feelings, and Flander was actually quite unhappy with Yu Xiaogang.
Moreover, Flander knew that Yu Xiaogang had once had a relationship with Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the current Pope. Bibi Dong was also a great beauty. Yu Xiaogang had neither good looks nor strength, so why was he so popular with a beautiful woman?
This is indeed a problem. If Li Luochen hadn't pointed it out, he probably would have continued to give in to Yu Xiaogang. In fact, as his brother, he sometimes wanted to punch Yu Xiaogang.
He was nothing special, his priority was picking up girls. During battles, he would hide in the back and then walk back with an air of profound mystery afterward. To be honest, Flander feels a bit disgusted when he thinks about it now.
"So what brilliant idea do you have, kid? Well, I just like Erlongmei. Xiaogang and Erlongmei are cousins. Anyway, as long as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is still around, there's no chance for them."
Flander crossed his arms, eager to hear Li Luochen's brilliant ideas.
"Dean, you're just too honest. You missed the best time. You should have comforted Aunt Erlong when she was most hurt and vulnerable. Although it's a bit unfair to your 'brother,' who told him to be such a jerk?"
Moreover, they are cousins. To save face, he left the woman there to endure gossip. To be honest, it's shameful. You just don't have his thick skin. If you had a little more sense, you could have comforted her.
Get her used to being with you, gradually make her dependent on you, and when you feel it's about time, launch your offensive and make it a done deal. Judging from Uncle Erlong's personality, he's probably the kind of person who's completely devoted to you, and those kinds of people are quite hard to pursue.
It all depends on whether you, Dean, can win his heart. And I suggest you change your image; you're already quite good-looking, you just need to do a good job of presenting yourself.
