Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 55 Dinner, Enemies and Brothers

As night falls, the grass beside Poseidon Lake glows silvery in the moonlight, with twinkling stars and a gentle breeze, bringing coolness to the lake water.

At this moment, the grass beside the lake was filled with all kinds of food. The aroma of grilled fish and meat floated in the air, attracting groups of fireflies to fly over, as if adding a bit of vitality to the joyful atmosphere. Chen Junting, Ning Tian and nine other people, plus Bei Bei, Tang Ya and Xu Sanshi who were invited, a total of twelve people sat in a circle, enjoying their rare leisure time.

"Congratulations, you all made it to the semi-finals."

Beibei picked up his glass and looked at everyone with a smile on his face. But then he said something joking: "But the next game will be a fight among you."

"Hiss - you guys in Class 9 are really good this time."

Xu Sanshi was a little surprised when he heard Beibei's words. "One class has three places in the top four. If you work harder, you might be able to take the top three."

"It's not that simple." Bei Bei on the side glanced at Xu Sanshi and said with an expression that said "you know nothing": "I heard that the remaining team is the Soul Master from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Great Soul Master from the Xingluo Zhu Family."

"Oh my god! A martial soul fusion technique!" Xu Sanshi was well-informed and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Beibei's words. So he patted Chen Junting beside him and said with a slightly worried tone, "Are you sure you can win the championship?"

"What do you think, Senior Xu?"

Chen Junting chuckled, without any worry.

"It seems like you already knew it."

Seeing Chen Junting's confident look, Xu Sanshi winked at Beibei. "This information is outdated."

"It's fine as long as the juniors know about it." Beibei didn't care. She shrugged and turned around to look at Tang Ya with a doting look. But seeing that she was talking happily with the junior brother who had just joined the sect, she didn't say anything to interrupt. So she pulled Xu Sanshi beside her and the two of them started drinking.

And at this time Tang Ya's side.

"Xiaodong, are you really sure?"

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoya."

Wang Dong chewed the fish and used his elbow to nudge Huo Yuhao, who was grilling the fish. "Yuhao and I have a trump card. Even Brother Jun Ting and Ning Tian don't know about this."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the taciturn Dugu Xin and said worriedly, "Xin, don't tell others about our secret just because Jun Ting is your roommate. The three of us want to win the championship!"

Dugu Xin's mouth twitched when he heard this.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of the juice, "Don't worry."

It seemed that he didn't want to talk about this topic any more and accidentally reveal his cards. So Wang Dong blinked, looked around, and asked curiously, "Why didn't Senior Jiang Nannan come?"

As Jiang Nannan's roommate, Tang Ya was naturally the one who knew the situation best. She puffed her cheeks, tore off a piece of fish, and said vaguely: "Nannan has to work in the evening and can't come."

Maybe it was because Tang Ya had a loud voice, even her unclear words were heard by everyone, attracting everyone's attention. Ning Tian and the others were stunned at first, and then they became confused. Wu Feng asked in confusion: "Didn't Senior Nan Nan get a reward of 1,000 gold soul coins before? Why do you still have to do odd jobs? It would be better to seize the time to practice."

At this time, Xu Sanshi, who was already a little drunk by Beibei, stood up staggeringly, walked to Chen Junting's side under his puzzled gaze, and patted his shoulder with gratitude, "That's because Nannan still has her mother to take care of. If it weren't for Junior Brother Chen, Nannan and aunt would still have a hard time."

"aunt?"

Everyone spoke in unison, and a curiosity arose.

It seems that this tone of address has been used more than once or twice.

The slightly drunk Xu Sanshi finally came to his senses and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject, "Haha, it's nothing, I just said too much."

But as a bad friend, Beibei couldn't let Xu Sanshi off so easily. So he teased, "It seems that our affectionate senior Xu Sanshi found that he couldn't get through to Jiang Nannan, so he wanted to change his route to please her mother." Tang Ya was immediately alert when she heard this. She widened her eyes and looked at Xu Sanshi: "Xu Sanshi, what are you doing? You didn't do anything to let Nannan down behind her back. If you really do that, I will complain to Nannan when I go back."

"What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Sanshi waved his hands quickly. In the end, he had no choice but to reveal part of the matter.

Only then did everyone learn part of the reason from him.

It turned out that Jiang Nannan's mother was in poor health, and Xu Sanshi had been asking his family to help take care of her. Jiang Nannan rarely went home, so he would go to visit her during every holiday.

After a few visits, he and his aunt became familiar with each other.

"Jiang Nannan doesn't know about these things?"

"Of course I don't know."

Chen Junting heard this and fiddled with the bamboo stick in his hand while saying, "Senior Xu, why don't you let her know that you are helping to take care of your aunt? Even if you don't say it directly, but keep it secret, your relationship will be better than it is now."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, Xu Sanshi only paused for a moment, as if he was moved. But the next second he sighed and looked up at the sky with an expression that said "you don't understand." "You don't understand."

These four words instantly left everyone speechless.

Yes, we don’t understand!
After that, the dinner continued.

But before long, Beibei and Xu Sanshi, who were drinking, reached their limit. They both fell to the ground and fell asleep on the grass.

So Chen Junting and Dugu Xin had to be responsible for sending them back to the dormitory, and tonight's dinner party came to an end.

……

The next morning.

When a gorgeous morning glow appeared in the east and a veil-like mist filled the air, Chen Junting and Dugu Xin had finished their meditation, washed up as usual, and headed to the cafeteria.

But just as they were about to step into the cafeteria, they found Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong standing at the cafeteria door, and it looked like Wang Dong was still comforting Huo Yuhao.

Chen Junting and Dugu Xin looked at each other and walked forward.

"What happened?"

As soon as he asked the question, Chen Junting found that Huo Yuhao's face was pale, and his eyes revealed a deep hatred that could not be concealed. That hatred was like a raging fire in the abyss, as if it was going to burn his sanity to ashes.

Seeing this, Chen Junting also realized something.

There is only one person who can arouse Huo Yuhao's hatred.

When Dugu Xin asked Wang Dong what happened, Chen Junting followed Huo Yuhao's gaze and scanned the cafeteria. Soon, he found a blond boy, and there was a black-haired girl beside him.

"It's Dai Huabin indeed."
