Before Liam could refuse,
Hu Liena happily skipped away.
This left Liam looking completely bewildered!
Wait.
I haven't even made a move, and you've already surrendered?
Just because I'm handsome?
If you're really going to be like this, then the theme of my Diary tomorrow will be:
Boys must protect themselves when they are out!
Uh...
Actually, come to think of it.
People often say like mother like daughter; Hu Liena and Bibi Dong really are from the same family. One could fall for a level twenty-nine waste, and the other could fall for a level fifteen waste like me... Holy crap!
The student has truly surpassed the master.
Not long after.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the academy gates.
Hu Liena hadn't just brought Xie Yue and Yan; two others followed beside her, one flamboyant and one brooding.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Upon seeing the two, Liam remembered feeling someone observing him in secret before. Sensing the aura on Ghost Douluo now, he understood—it was him! No wonder the hiding spot was so well-concealed.
Hu Liena stepped forward and introduced them to Liam:
"Liam, these two are Elders of our Spirit Hall and also two Titled Douluo: Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."
"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, this is my good friend Liam."
Liam greeted them with a smile:
"Greetings, Your Excellencies!"
Chrysanthemums wither, injuries everywhere, flowers fall and hearts break.
Regarding the "best bros" duo of Chrysanthemum Guan and Old Ghost, Liam actually shipped them quite a bit.
Ghost Douluo remained expressionless and gave a slight nod.
With a smile on his pale face, Chrysanthemum Douluo teased:
"So handsome. No wonder you became our Nana's good friend, giggle!"
Liam gave an awkward smile and didn't respond.
Hu Liena's face turned slightly red as she grabbed Liam's arm. "Let's go, let's board and head out."
Liam didn't refuse and followed Hu Liena onto the carriage.
"I'll sit with you guys."
As soon as Yan saw the two of them about to sit together, he felt a surge of unease and hurriedly followed them.
Inside the carriage.
Liam, Hu Liena, and Yan sat in the left row, while Xie Yue, Chrysanthemum Guan, and Ghost Douluo sat in the right row.
The carriage was large and very fast.
Liam felt relieved; after all, Douluo was a Xuanhuan world, so it was like a small horse pulling a large carriage at high speeds.
In a normal ancient setting, who knows how many days this trip would have taken.
No one spoke in the carriage, and Liam closed his eyes to rest, his mind beginning to ramble in the Diary:
[Hu Liena, oh Hu Liena!]
[You and Bibi Dong really are master and disciple. She found herself a level twenty-nine waste, and you actually like a level fifteen waste like me this much?]
[You guys really have love-brains!]
Sitting nearby, Hu Liena had been excited to see what Liam would write when she noticed the Diary update.
Upon seeing this, she almost coughed up blood.
You bastard!
When are you going to fix your habit of bashing people? Can't you show some manners!?
But thinking carefully, it made sense. From Liam's perspective, her behavior really was too much like a fangirl and far too proactive.
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan was sitting in the classroom with her legs crossed. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.
She had short, deep purple hair and a heroic air. Her green eyes were very peculiar, giving her a demonic charm and a unique beauty.
The elegant and beautiful Ye Lingling beside her couldn't help but turn and ask:
"Yan Yan, what are you laughing at?"
Dugu Yan said with a beaming smile:
"I just saw something interesting, but I can't tell you."
What am I laughing at?
I'm laughing at Spirit Hall's Bibi Dong for being witless and Hu Liena for being unintelligent. I'm laughing at that love-obsessed master and disciple... Hahaha!
Hearing this, Ye Lingling nodded slightly and said gently, "Actually, I also saw something interesting that I can't tell anyone else."
Dugu Yan said cheerfully, "Really? That's quite a coincidence. You aren't just lying to me to get me to tell you my secret, are you?"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's expression suddenly froze, as if she had seen something completely outrageous!
Ye Lingling also saw the content of the Diary in her mind and was completely stunned.
[I originally planned to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after getting a map of the Sunset Forest.]
[If it's easy to find, I'll go to Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to give Dugu Yan a beating, lure Dugu Bo to Heaven Dou City, and then go harvest the herbs.]
[If it's hard to find, I'll just go straight to Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to beat up Dugu Yan. After luring Dugu Bo out, I'll make a deal with him to detoxify the two of them in exchange for harvesting the herbs.]
[Now that I'm traveling with Hu Liena's group, I probably won't have a chance to look for it. Whatever, I'll just go to Tiandou Academy to beat Dugu Yan, lure Dugu Bo out, and have him take me there to harvest the herbs!]
[Uh, I just realized that regardless of which plan I use, there isn't much difference—both involve beating Dugu Yan. What a pitiful Yan Yan!]
[Time for a nap.]
And there it was.
Dugu Yan had been laughing at the love-obsessed master and disciple, but somehow the trouble had landed on her own head.
How hateful!
How exactly did I offend you? I don't even know who you are, Liam, yet you're thinking of beating me up every which way?
When you get here, I'll see just what you're capable of. We'll see who beats whom!
Ye Lingling was also speechless, thinking, "Indeed! What a pitiful Yan Yan!"
Uh...
After a brief moment of thought.
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with a serious face and said:
"Yan Yan, I've recently learned some divination. I see a dark cloud over your brow, suggesting a bloody calamity. Why don't you go home and rest for a few days?"
"Really!"
"Don't ask me why, just trust that I'm doing this for your own good."
Dugu Yan had been sulking, but hearing Ye Lingling's words, her expression changed instantly as she cried out in shock:
"Lingling, don't tell me you have it too?"
Instantly.
All the surrounding students turned their heads, their eyes fixed on the two. Big gossip! Huge gossip!
The two goddesses both "had it"!
Ye Lingling's face turned beet red instantly, and she almost buried her head in her chest.
"I have... no, wait..."
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling's hand and said as she led her out, "So you have it too. Let's go! Let's find somewhere private to talk."
The two of them ran all the way out and found a deserted spot. Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling and asked:
"Love-obsessed master and disciple!"
Ye Lingling nodded heavily and completed the secret code:
"Spirit Hall!"
Dugu Yan instantly looked overjoyed; the secret code matched, and she had found her comrade.
She said, "Lingling, I didn't expect you to have that bastard's diary instance too!"
Ye Lingling said with a worried expression:
"I also discovered it last night. By the way, Yan Yan, you should... hurry up and leave the school to go back home!"
"That person named Liam set out from Spirit City today. Given Spirit Hall's travel speed, they won't stop midway and will reach Heaven Dou City in just a few days."
