Chapter 368.1. The Increasingly Prosperous Tang Sect
Nan Qiuqiu had been extremely frustrated and irritable over the past few days. She had been in Shrek City for more than half a month, and news travelled continuously from various sources. She had become very unstable and anxious ever since she heard that her mother and the Earthdragon Sect’s team members who had participated in the tournament didn’t return to their sect.
She didn’t think too much into it when they first departed the Sun Moon Empire, because she had faith in her mother’s abilities. Her family’s inherited powers of annihilation meant her mother should be able to escape even if she had to fight against someone stronger than she was.
However, things didn’t turn out the way she had hoped. Her mother was the sect leader, but she hadn’t returned to the sect. Fortunately, the Earthdragon Sect was still being guarded by several of its senior members, and the sect had managed to avoid any problems for now.
But…
Nan Qiuqiu and her mother had depended on each other ever since she was a child. Nan Shuishui was very strict with her, but their relationship was intimate, and their love for each other ran deep. If the Tang Sect’s other members hadn’t successfully persuaded her, she would have succumbed to her impatience and rushed back to the Sun Moon Empire to search for her mother.
Nan Qiuqiu was a little unruly, but she was very smart. She knew very well that the news that came from Shrek Academy in Shrek City would be a lot more accurate than if she had been back at her own sect, and she would also receive news a lot faster here than elsewhere. Furthermore, the Tang Sect’s members told her unambiguously that they would help her save her mother once they received definite and reliable intel.
At this moment, Nan Qiuqiu was pacing outside the Tang Sect’s main gate. She was waiting for something.
“What are you doing, Qiuqiu? You didn’t eat much for lunch.” A voice rang out, and Nan Qiuqiu turned around as she saw Gao Dalou, who was picking his teeth with a toothpick, walk out from inside the Tang Sect’s main gate.
In contrast to Nan Qiuqiu, Gao Dalou was as proud and pleased as punch ever since he had arrived at the Tang Sect. He was all alone in the world, and had no strings attached anywhere. To him, wherever he was was his home.
