Before Su Chen could refuse,Hu Liena happily skipped off.
This left Su Chen completely dumbfounded.
"No way," he thought."I haven't even made a move, and you're already down? Just because I'm handsome?""If you're going to act like this, then tomorrow's journal entry is going to be:Boys must protect themselves when outside!"
Uh.
Actually, thinking about it...
They say "people who are alike tend to gather," and Hu Liena and Bibi Dong really are cut from the same cloth. One goes for a twenty-nine rank waste, and the other goes for a fifteen rank waste like me... what the heck!"Blue surpassing blue."
Not long after,
A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the academy.
Hu Liena not only brought Xie Yue and Yan, but also two others—a seductive one and a reserved one.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Su Chen instantly remembered them. He had a feeling someone had been watching him secretly before, and now sensing the aura of Ghost Douluo, he understood—so it was him! No wonder he was hiding so well.
Hu Liena stepped forward and introduced:
"Su Chen, these two are elders of our Spirit Hall and also titled Douluo—Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."
"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, this is my good friend, Su Chen."
Su Chen smiled and greeted:
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellencies!"
"Chrysanthemum's withered petals, the flowers fall and the heart aches."
Su Chen had a soft spot for the "best buddy" combination of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—he totally ships them.
Ghost Douluo maintained a blank expression and nodded slightly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, with a bright smile on his fair face, joked:"You're so handsome, no wonder you're such good friends with our Liena, hee hee hee!"
Su Chen awkwardly laughed but didn't respond.
Hu Liena, with a slight blush, pulled Su Chen by the arm:"Let's go, we're heading up."
Su Chen didn't refuse and followed Hu Liena onto the carriage.
"I'm coming with you guys."
Yan, seeing the two of them sitting together, immediately sensed something was off. He quickly followed suit.
Inside the carriage,
Su Chen, Hu Liena, and Yan sat on the left side, while Xie Yue, Guan Yue, and Ghost Douluo sat on the right side.
The carriage was large and moved fast.
Su Chen began to relax. After all, this was a Douluo level carriage, it could speed up like a small horse pulling a big cart.
If this were a normal ancient setting, this journey would take days.
No one spoke in the carriage. Su Chen closed his eyes to rest, and his mind began to wander through his journal:
[Hu Liena, oh Hu Liena!][You and Bibi Dong really are teacher and disciple. She picks a twenty-nine rank waste, and you go for a fifteen rank waste like me?][You guys are really obsessed with love!]
Sitting next to him, Hu Liena noticed the journal suddenly updated. She was excited, wondering what Su Chen would write.
When she saw it, she nearly vomited blood.
"Idiot!""When are you going to change this habit of insulting people? Can't you be polite?!"
But after thinking it through, she realized Su Chen was right—her behavior did seem a bit infatuated and overly proactive.
Tiandou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan sat in class, crossing her legs and suddenly grinning.
With short, deep purple hair, and a pair of green eyes, she had a charming yet strange beauty, exuding an almost otherworldly allure.
Next to her, the elegant and beautiful Ye Lingling couldn't help but ask:"Yan Zi, what are you laughing at?"
Dugu Yan smiled and replied,"I just saw something interesting, but I can't tell you."
"What am I laughing at?""I'm laughing at Bibi Dong from Spirit Hall being foolish, Hu Liena being naive, I'm laughing at their teacher-student love obsession... hahahaha!"
Ye Lingling nodded slightly, her tone soft:"Actually, I saw something interesting too, but I can't tell anyone."
Dugu Yan cheerfully said:"Really? How coincidental, you're not trying to trick me into telling you first, are you?"
Just then, Dugu Yan's expression suddenly froze, as if she had seen something shocking.
Ye Lingling also saw the content in her mind's eye and was stunned.
[I had originally planned that after getting the map of the Sunset Forest, I would first search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.][If it's easy to find, I would go to Tiandou Royal Academy and beat up Dugu Yan, then use that to lure Dugu Bo to Tiandou City, where I can cut some grass.][If it's hard to find, I would directly go to Tiandou Royal Academy and beat up Dugu Yan, then make a deal with Dugu Bo to help them both detox, with the price being cutting some grass.][Now that Hu Liena and the others are traveling with me, I probably won't have a chance to search anymore. Forget it, I'll just go to Tiandou Academy to beat up Dugu Yan, lure Dugu Bo over, and let him take me to cut the grass!][Wait, I just realized—no matter which option, the result is the same, I'll have to beat up Dugu Yan. What a poor swallow!][I'll take a nap.]
At that moment,
Dugu Yan, who had been laughing at the teacher-student pair obsessed with love, suddenly found herself as the next target of misfortune.
"Dammit!""Where did I offend you? I don't even know who Su Chen is, yet you're thinking about beating me up inside and out?""Come at me, I want to see what you've got! Let's see who beats who!"
Ye Lingling, now in shock, thought, "Indeed! What a poor swallow!"
After thinking for a moment,
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan seriously and said:"Yan Zi, I've been learning some fortune-telling recently. I see that your Yintang is dark, which could mean you're facing a blood disaster. How about you take a few days off and rest?"
"Really!"
"Don't ask me why, just trust me, I'm doing this for your own good."
Dugu Yan, who had been holding in her frustration, instantly changed her expression in shock and said loudly:"Lingling, you don't mean... you have it too?"
In an instant,
All the classmates around them turned to look, their eyes wide with excitement. This was big gossip! Big gossip!Both of the goddess-like figures had it.
Ye Lingling's face immediately turned crimson, and she nearly buried her face in her chest.
"I have it, but it's not..."
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling's hand and, as they walked out, said:"Wait, you have it too? Let's go, we'll find a place where no one can hear us and talk."
They ran off together, finding a secluded spot, where Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling and asked:"Bibi Dong from Spirit Hall, love-obsessed teacher-student pair!" (Heavenly King beats the Earth Tiger)
Ye Lingling nodded seriously and responded with the code:"Hu Liena from Spirit Hall, love-obsessed teacher-student pair!" (Pagoda suppresses the river demon)
Dugu Yan's face lit up with surprise. The code matched; the organization had been found. She said:"Lingling, I didn't expect you to have that bastard's journal copy too!"
Ye Lingling looked a bit worried and said:"I only found out about it last night. By the way, Yan Zi, you should really go home and rest!"
"That Su Chen guy left Spirit Hall today. With their travel speed, they won't stop along the way and will reach Tiandou City in a few days."
