NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 157: Blue Tyrant Academy Renamed
Chapter 157: Blue Tyrant Academy Renamed
"Then you must be extra careful."
Qin Xiao didn't insist on taking Liu Erlong with him to hunt for soul rings.
Because he knew that Liu Erlong was not the type to be overly dependent and had her own opinions on matters.
"I will handle it, you can rest assured."
Liu Erlong nodded firmly.
"Right, there are two things you need to be mindful of," Qin Xiao said, his expression turning serious.
Liu Erlong also became serious upon hearing this, "What are they? Tell me, I will remember."
"The first thing is to be cautious of the Star Luo Empire. They failed to achieve their goal last time and might not give up, looking for another opportunity to strike."
"The second thing is to be wary of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. Yu Yuanzhen's attempt on you already showed a strong intent to kill, not sparing even you. Although Yu Yuanzhen is dead now, I'm not sure if they will act against me through you, similar to the Star Luo Empire."
Qin Xiao said, sighing, "It's a pity that I'm currently facing some issues with my body and cannot exert my peak cultivation. Otherwise, I would have gone to the Star Luo Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and destroyed them."
"But, when I return, I will settle scores with them. Every single one of them, without exception."
After listening to Qin Xiao, Liu Erlong nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will be fine."
Then, she took Qin Xiao's hand with her own, "Go with peace of mind, I'll wait for you to return."
At this moment, she showed an unusually gentle side.
However.
Qin Xiao slightly furrowed his brows.
Why does it sound like she's 'sending me off'?
A night of passion.
When Qin Xiao woke up, Liu Erlong was no longer by his side.
At the head of the simple wooden bed, there was a note left by Liu Erlong.
It simply read: I don't like goodbyes, I'll wait for you at Blue Tyrant Academy.
"To think she's so sentimental."
Qin Xiao smiled lightly, then got up.
When he stepped out of his room, several people were already waiting for him.
Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan stood neatly outside.
However.
Their state seemed a bit off.
All of them had big dark circles under their eyes, and even Ning Rongrong's eyes were red.
Qin Xiao asked with a frown, "What were you doing last night?"
"Nothing, just couldn't sleep."
"Just had some things on my mind."
Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances, their words not matching their thoughts.
Suddenly.
Qin Xiao realized what had happened, remembering Liu Erlong's words about the houses not being soundproof.
"I'm increasingly suspicious that Liu Erlong left early to avoid facing people the next morning, right?"
He mused in his heart.
"Your Highness, where is Dean Liu?"
Dugu Yan was very curious.
She wanted to know if Liu Erlong could still walk out on her own after last night's ordeal.
"Yan Yan, you don't know, Dean Liu left early."
"I saw her leaning on the door when she came out this morning. When she greeted me, her voice was hoarse," Ning Rongrong replied.
Dugu Yan: "."
Her gaze towards Qin Xiao gradually changed.
His Highness is simply inhuman.
Calling him Qin Xiao seems too kind; perhaps 'beast' would be more appropriate.
"Let's go, let's go, no more gossiping. Let's set off now."
Even Qin Xiao, after hearing Ning Rongrong's words, couldn't help but blush.
He hurriedly led everyone outside.
Everyone followed him closely.
However.
As Qin Xiao and the others were about to leave, he turned around and shouted towards the cave where Dugu Bo was, "Dugu Bo, I'm leaving. The home is left in your care."
On the other side.
Dugu Bo was actually standing at the entrance of the cave, side-on, allowing only his line of sight to see Dugu Yan, Qin Xiao, and others leaving.
When Qin Xiao's voice reached him, he smiled slightly, "Home, that's an interesting word."
But.
The more he pondered, the more something seemed off.
"Looking after the home?"
"Why do I feel like he's calling me a dog?"
Immediately, he got angry and shouted outside, "You brat, wait till you come back, I'll show you!"
However.
His voice went out, but no one was there to hear it anymore.
At the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, Qin Xiao and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Good thing they're far away."
Conversely, seeing no response after a long while, Dugu Bo also sighed deeply.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, seven days swiftly passed by.
When Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flender returned from their soul hunting expedition in the Star Dou Great Forest, the rotund Shao Xin hurried up to them.
Zhao Wuji grinned and joked, "Old Shao, what happened to you, chased by a dog?"
"Just you talk too much."
"Hmph, if you didn't speak, no one would think you're mute."
Shao Xin glanced at Zhao Wuji and huffed irritably, "Both Deans, the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family have come again."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?"
The expressions on Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flender's faces changed simultaneously.
Especially Liu Erlong, recalling the words Qin Xiao had left them with before departing, she felt an even worse premonition.
Trouble is coming!
However, she wasn't too flustered, her formidable strength giving her confidence.
After all, her power had greatly increased during their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Not only did she obtain her eighth soul ring, but her soul power also reached level 86.
Now, Liu Erlong was confident that with the power of the fourth crown of the True Dragon Nine Crowns activated, she could even challenge a Titled Douluo.
"Old Shao, how many people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family have come, and who are they? Do you recognize them?" Flender asked calmly.
"They've been at the academy for two or three days now, a total of two people. One is Yu Luomian, the second in command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and the other is..."
Shao Xin hesitated in his speech.
Liu Erlong's gaze flashed, she said in a deep voice, "Who is the second? Just say it, there's no need to hesitate."
Shao Xin replied, "It's Yu Xiaogang."
"Yu Xiaogang, he actually dares to come back."
Anger was barely concealable in Flender's voice.
After all, the last incident had not been pleasant for either party.
"Teacher Shao, please lead us to them," Liu Erlong said firmly.
On the other side.
In the backyard belonging exclusively to Liu Erlong.
Outside the wooden fence, Yu Luomian looked at the simple wooden house, his thoughts unknown.
"Why don't you go in, Uncle, if you want to?" Yu Xiaogang, who looked even older than Yu Luomian, asked.
"This is a boundary."
Yu Luomian replied solemnly.
Boundary? Yu Xiaogang showed a puzzled look in his eyes.
He didn't understand what Yu Luomian meant.
"Xiaogang, no matter what you do or when, you must have a boundary," Yu Luomian said gravely, his eyes on Yu Xiaogang.
But Yu Xiaogang clearly wasn't in the mood to listen to Yu Luomian's life philosophies, "Uncle, based on the information we got, we've searched for several days without any trace of my father. Could it be that after killing Qin Xiao, he went elsewhere?"
He couldn't help voicing his own speculation.
He felt waiting for Liu Erlong's return here was pointless.
However.
Yu Luomian thought differently.
After searching for days without any trace of Yu Yuanzhen, he was not as optimistic as Yu Xiaogang and had a bad premonition.
Moreover, confirming his guess wasn't difficult; he only needed to ask Liu Erlong whether Qin Xiao was still alive.
So, during the days Liu Erlong was away, he had been waiting.
Seeing Yu Luomian didn't respond, Yu Xiaogang bit his lip and posed another question, "Uncle, if we retrieve the True Dragon Nine Crowns, how do you plan to deal with them?"
"Why ask this?"
Yu Luomian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course, return them to the Nine Ancestral Mountains, waiting for the next destined person."
"Uncle..."
Yu Xiaogang started to speak, hesitating.
"How is it? Xiaogang, are you thinking of trying whether the True Dragon Nine Crowns would recognize you as their master?"
Yu Luomian guessed Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, asking with some surprise.
In truth, he was shocked.
This worthless fellow really dares to dream.
Yu Luomian himself had never considered trying to control the True Dragon Nine Crowns, and here was Yu Xiaogang, daring to entertain the idea.
"Uncle, you know, my life's pursuit has been to prove myself."
"But after so many wasted years, this is where I've ended up."
"The True Dragon Nine Crowns are my last chance. If I don't try, I won't be able to rest in peace even in death."
As he spoke, tears streamed down Yu Xiaogang's face.
Yu Luomian looked deeply at Yu Xiaogang, remaining silent.
To be honest, if it weren't for Yu Xiaogang being Yu Yuanzhen's only son, he wouldn't have bothered bringing him along.
Such a headache.
"What are you doing here again?"
At this moment, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Flender, Shao Xin, and others approached from behind.
Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang almost simultaneously turned to look.
"Liu Erlong, you're back."
Yu Luomian's face showed a faint smile.
Yu Xiaogang's body involuntarily trembled, shrinking behind Yu Luomian.
He even dared not look up at Liu Erlong and the others.
"Just say it, what's the matter."
Liu Erlong stood about ten meters away from Yu Yuanzhen, her arms crossed, and looked at Yu Luomian indifferently.
Yu Luomian asked, "Erlong, don't you plan to invite me in to sit?"
"Sorry, I don't plan to."
Liu Erlong abruptly shook her head, her face cold.
"Uh?"
Yu Luomian's expression changed; he could feel that the distance between him and Liu Erlong had grown even further.
Of course, Liu Erlong wouldn't have a good expression.
After all, when Yu Yuanzhen made his move, he hadn't considered showing any mercy.
He might not have intended to kill her, but he could have made her life worse than death.
"Never mind, I'll just come in and sit next time."
Yu Luomian waved his hand somewhat disheartenedly, then said, "Erlong, we just wanted to ask if you have any news of your uncle?"
"Uncle?"
"He deserves that title?"
Liu Erlong scoffed coldly, "If you want to ask about Yu Yuanzhen's news, there's no need to beat around the bush. He's dead, died a hundred li outside of Tian Dou City."
"A hundred li outside Tian Dou City?"
"That's impossible, we've sent people to search for several days and haven't found any trace of my father."
Before Yu Luomian could say anything, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help jumping out from behind Yu Luomian, questioning Liu Erlong's words.
"Heh, were you at the scene when Yu Yuanzhen died?"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang and sneered coldly.
"Uncle, you, you see what attitude Liu Erlong has?"
"And she keeps saying Yu Yuanzhen disrespectfully, is that polite?"
Yu Xiaogang shrank his neck, not daring to argue with Liu Erlong, only complaining to Yu Luomian.
Hmph.
At Liu Erlong's side, Flender snorted disdainfully.
Yu Xiaogang now seemed even more contemptible in his eyes.
Yu Luomian's expression changed several times, lowering his voice, "Erlong, stop calling Yu Yuanzhen like that, after all, he is your uncle."
"I don't have such an uncle!"
Liu Erlong showed no courtesy to Yu Luomian, "Let alone my relationship with Qin Xiao, but Yu Yuanzhen, in his plans to retaliate against Qin Xiao, never thought about sparing me.
He intended to cripple Qin Xiao first and then torture everyone close to him, including me. Maybe because of your relationship, I wouldn't need to die, but I would definitely live a life worse than death."
"What, this happened!"
Yu Luomian, after hearing Liu Erlong's words, suddenly widened his eyes.
His face was full of disbelief.
Surprise.
A real surprise; he hadn't expected his brother to be so ruthless.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you, but Yu Yuanzhen has already been killed by Qin Xiao, dead without proof."
"What! You said Qin Xiao killed my father!"
Yu Xiaogang let out another exclamation.
"Otherwise? Was he killed by Yu Yuanzhen?"
No need for Liu Erlong to answer, Zhao Wuji already stepped forward, his face full of anger.
Bluntly speaking, if it weren't for Yu Luomian standing before him, being Liu Erlong's father, he would have turned the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family into mincemeat upon discovery.
For him, these people, since they dared to make a move against Qin Xiao, standing on the opposite side of Qin Xiao, then they were enemies of Zhao Wuji.
Towards enemies, Zhao Wuji has never been merciful.
"My brother is dead, yet Qin Xiao lives!"
Yu Luomian, after hearing Liu Erlong's words, was also engulfed by a stormy sea of emotions inside.
Unable to believe.
Unable to accept.
He couldn't forget how spirited and confident Yu Yuanzhen was.
That attitude of superiority made Yu Luomian believe that Yu Yuanzhen had become the world's number one strongman, with nothing he couldn't do.
Dealing with a Qin Xiao should have been easy, right?
But.
The result was Yu Yuanzhen's death and Qin Xiao's survival, a result he couldn't accept.
"The sky has fallen, the sky of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has fallen!"
He mourned in his heart.
But his status dictated that he could not fall, could not let outsiders mock.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang beside him, even more unbearable.
Like all vigor had been drained from him, he sat on the ground, his eyes dull, lost in a daze.
After a long while, Yu Luomian finally emerged from the immense sorrow.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Erlong, can you tell me how strong Qin Xiao really is, how my brother died in battle?"
"No comment."
Liu Erlong didn't want to explain further, nor did she want to say anything more to them, issuing an order for them to leave, "You can go now, I'm tired. Also, Blue Tyrant Academy will be renamed Shrek Academy and will no longer have any relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. It's best if you don't come here in the future."
