Who would have thought that, more than five years later, Wang Hao would actually see Tang Rui here!

At this moment, Wang Hao was truly stunned.

Tang Rui, however, turned to look at Wang Hao and said calmly, "I've been here for over five years, why can't I stay here?"

As she spoke, Tang Rui slowly stood up and looked at Wang Hao, saying, "After I left, did you study hard? Judging from your figure, you must have spent all your time exercising, right?"

"I don't……"

Wang Hao swallowed hard.

This damn sense of oppression!

That childhood fear, even after so many years, still affects him!

Seeing Wang Hao's embarrassed expression, Tang Rui couldn't help but chuckle and said lightly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

My purpose in coming here is singular: to control the Martial Alliance!

Yaochi needs its own hidden forces.

Over the years, I've been...the mentor of that former leader of the martial arts alliance?

"My mentor?" Wang Hao's eyes widened in surprise.

How old is Tang Rui?

Could that highly respected elder be accepted as Tang Rui's disciple?

Tang Rui, however, remained remarkably calm. "Is there a problem? I met him five and a half years ago, and he became the leader of the martial arts alliance four years ago."

He always respected me as his teacher, and brought me all sorts of top books from the martial arts alliance so I could read them. I also taught him countless methods to resolve many of the crises he had faced.

As for his assassination... I guessed it too.

Considering the time and the situation outside, it's clear that the two royals are indeed starting to lose patience.

I never expected that the newly appointed leader of the martial arts alliance... would be you!
