Chapter 138: You Are Zhu Zhuqing?! Lin Yu Reveals Himself!
"Mm..."
As her injuries were healed, the little girl in black, who had been unconscious on the ground, let out a soft sound before slowly opening her eyes.
When she saw Lin Yu,
The little girl's eyes widened in surprise. She quickly sat up, distancing herself from Lin Yu, and looked at him warily.
"Who... who are you?"
"Who am I? I should be asking you for your name. Don't you remember? I was the one who saved you just now."
Lin Yu couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the little girl's nervousness.
"You... saved me?"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, the little girl in black was momentarily stunned, her mind beginning to recall the events from earlier.
It seemed... she did remember seeing this person before.
And it was this person who stopped the ones chasing her...
Suddenly realizing that Lin Yu was her savior,
The little girl's tense body finally relaxed, though not completely.
"What about the people chasing me? Did you drive them away?"
Looking around, she found no trace of the group that had been chasing her. The little girl became increasingly suspicious.
"Pretty much, anyway, they'll never show up in front of you again."
Lin Yu smiled but didn't give a detailed answer.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, the little girl's body stiffened.
She realized what he meant—he had killed them!
"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. I'm Ye Liangchen."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Yu smiled again, this time showing a slightly mischievous grin, and gave a slight bow.
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing."
After a moment of silence, the little girl in black, or rather, Zhu Zhuqing, answered.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what a beautiful name..."
Upon hearing her response, Lin Yu smiled and was about to compliment the little girl's name. However, suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
Wait! This little girl's name is Zhu Zhuqing?
Lin Yu's eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"What! Cough... You said your name is Zhu Zhuqing?!"
"Yes, my name is Zhu Zhuqing, the same one you know."
Since her identity had already been exposed in the live broadcast, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't too shocked that Lin Yu knew her name. She just replied in a calm, cold manner.
What?! I actually met her here!
Learning that the black-clad little girl in front of him was Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Yu couldn't help but be caught off guard. He wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, this time, among the four forces—Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tiandou Imperial City, Xingluo Royal Family, and the Youming Duke's Mansion—he had chosen the Youming Duke's Mansion.
Besides the fact that the Youming Duke's Mansion was easier to join compared to Tiandou Imperial City and Xingluo Royal Family, another important reason was Zhu Zhuqing.
Originally, Lin Yu had planned to join the Youming Duke's Mansion first and then find a way to approach Zhu Zhuqing.
He hadn't expected to meet her here...
Lin Yu's mood became a bit complicated.
But now that the girl in front of him was Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Yu decided not to hide his identity any longer.
He had already said that he would eventually come to find her.
With his current strength, no one on Douluo Continent could stop him anymore.
Hiding his identity had just been a means for Lin Yu to operate more freely on the continent.
But it was no longer something necessary for his survival.
Since Lin Yu had already used the Mirage Dragon Pearl to disguise his appearance, revealing his real name didn't completely expose him.
"You're Zhu Zhuqing, huh? Actually... I lied to you. To be honest, my name is not Ye Liangchen. My real name is Lin Yu. I originally planned to go to the Youming Duke's Mansion to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Looking at the little girl in black, Lin Yu took a deep breath and then spoke directly.
"You're Lin Yu?!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked up, her delicate and cold face filled with shock.
"You... How are you around the same age as me?"
Lin Yu: "..."
"Why can't I be around the same age as you?"
Lin Yu chuckled helplessly.
"Because..."
Zhu Zhuqing, hearing Lin Yu's words, wanted to explain but opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.
From her perspective, Lin Yu had mainly relied on answering the first question correctly and receiving the wish reward. Through that, he had learned many things about the past, present, and future of Douluo Continent, which was why he could answer subsequent questions correctly.
But that didn't necessarily mean Lin Yu was very old.
Yet, seeing that Lin Yu was about the same age as her...
This made Zhu Zhuqing's mind feel very complicated and a bit chaotic.
"You're going to the Youming Duke's Mansion for me? Aren't you afraid of the danger?"
After some hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing's cold face relaxed a bit, and after a long pause, she couldn't help but ask another question.
"Danger? Right now, Douluo Continent doesn't pose any danger to me anymore!"
Lin Yu only smiled confidently at Zhu Zhuqing's words.
"Even if you don't believe it, since I'm here to see you, I naturally already have enough strength to protect you."
"Believe me, even if all the Title Douluo of the Xingluo Empire came after me, I could still take you out of here!"
Seeing Lin Yu's confidence, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Why do you want to protect me? You don't even know me. Is it just because you saw my future fate?"
Hearing that Lin Yu wanted to go into the Youming Duke's Mansion to protect her, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel very complicated, and she couldn't help but ask Lin Yu again.
Because of the special inheritance system in the Youming Duke's Mansion, Zhu Zhuqing had never felt the warmth of family love growing up. She truly couldn't understand why a stranger would be willing to help her like this.
"Does it need a reason?"
For Zhu Zhuqing's question, Lin Yu just shrugged.
"It doesn't need a reason. I'm just following my heart."
"I saw the future of this continent. Without this mysterious live broadcast and without me, this continent would definitely be in ruins."
"I saw the future fate of this continent, and I also saw your future fate. For both the fate of this continent and yours, I couldn't stand by and let it happen. Since I have the ability, I just want to change it. That's it!"
Hearing Lin Yu's words and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's heart gradually relaxed, and the complex look in her eyes slowly faded.
That's right! It's all just following his heart!
Like her, in the competition with her sister, Zhu Zhuyun,
If she chose not to cultivate and not become a soul master, she might have been able to survive in the future.
But she chose to resist because she didn't want to give in weakly.
In the end, it was all just following her inner voice.
Since he was willing to save her, then he must be showing kindness toward her.
So, what should she be on guard for?
