Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 62: Shu Yan's words, Xu Sanshi's confusion, and Han Ruoruo's tears (3k)

After Han Ruoruo said this, the shy Tang Ya turned her head away first in embarrassment.

It can be seen that although this girl appears to be very lively and cheerful, she is still a shy little girl at heart.

Shu Yan glanced at Xu Sanshi, and then his gaze fell on Beibei who was standing beside him.

Beibei also noticed Shu Yan's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said softly:

"I've heard a lot about you, Senior. Seeing you today is truly extraordinary. I wonder if I'll have the chance to compete with you in the future?"

Shu Yan also had a smile on his face, and then he said softly:

"No rush. Wait until you've stabilized the Holy Light Dragon bloodline within your body and completely completed your martial spirit evolution before you challenge me. It's best not to compete with me right now. I rarely show mercy to my opponents."

Beibei's expression froze, but he didn't seem surprised that Shu Yan knew the secret of his martial soul.

He knew that Shu Yan's grandfather had saved his grandfather's life, so he naturally had a good impression and closeness to Shu Yan.

"Okay, then I'll wait until I completely control that power and then I'll come and challenge you. But you'll have to go easy on me. I'm not as resistant as Xu Sanshi..."

Beibei chuckled.

Hearing his name, Xu Sanshi came over and carelessly put his arm around Beibei's shoulders, then said generously:

"What were you talking about with the senior? Why did I hear my name? By the way, Beibei, are you secretly saying bad things about me? I've known for a long time that you're jealous of my handsomeness..."

Beibei showed a hint of disgust on her face, and then she said slowly:
"Wait until you dare to say this in front of Jiang Nannan before you discuss the topic of appearance with me..."

The expression on Xu Sanshi's face froze, and the arm around Beibei's shoulders also became strangely stiff.

Tang Ya, who was standing by, also chuckled when she heard this:

"Xu Sanshi, there's nothing wrong with what Beibei said. If you repeat it to Nannan today, I'll let Beibei recognize you as his big brother. Don't doubt the truth of this. Beibei listens to me the most..."

Upon hearing this, Beibei looked at Tang Ya helplessly, but seeing the confident look on Tang Ya's face, he swallowed the words back.

You should spoil your own girlfriend yourself. No matter what, Beibei’s love for Tang Ya is real.

After a moment of silence, Xu Sanshi sighed deeply and then said:
"You don't understand, Nan Nan doesn't like the way I look in front of you..."

Shu Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and then he said:

"Is there a possibility that Jiang Nannan doesn't like you as a person?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Xu Sanshi said righteously.

"As long as I let Nan Nan see my sincerity, she will definitely accept me. Senior, please stop trying to persuade me. I will definitely pursue Nan Nan!"

Shu Yan hesitated for a while before finally saying:
"Why are you doing this?"

"As the Young Master of the Xuanming Sect, you have the right to choose as many women as you want. Apart from Jiang Nannan, there are also many beauties in the outer courtyard. To be honest, there is no point in doing this. Instead, you will only make yourself look bad..."

Xu Sanshi fell silent again after hearing this, but this time he did not immediately refute.

For some reason, he always felt that Shu Yan saw through his heart, and this feeling made him a little unsure how to refute Shu Yan.

Seeing him like this, Shu Yan rarely said a few more words:

"I'm willing to give you some advice not only because we share the same royal bloodline, but also because I don't want you to be bound by past guilt and become a lapdog after a girl every day. After all, the relationship between our elders is deep and inseparable."

"You must remember that you are the future heir of the Xuanming Sect, and you are responsible for the rise and fall of a large sect. Your reputation is not just your own, it represents the reputation of the entire Xuanming Sect. I understand your guilt towards Jiang Nannan, but in the final analysis, it was just a transaction. Both parties were willing, and there was no so-called coercion or injustice. Do you understand?"

"If you continue like this, I will feel sorry for your mother and your father."

Xu Sanshi clenched his fists hanging at his sides suddenly, but after a moment, his clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"I don't know what to do anymore... I really don't know what to do..."

Xu Sanshi's voice was suddenly tinged with pain and struggle.

Shu Yan's words were very true and touched the weakest part of his heart. He couldn't even tell the truth about whether he liked Jiang Nannan or felt guilty about her, or whether it was just an obsession.

Once something is done for a long time, the original purpose may be forgotten, and what emerges instead is a habit. Under this habit, many people just do it numbly, but may have already forgotten the original purpose.

Shu Yan's words made him reflect on himself in a rare moment. He began to wonder if he really had to be with Jiang Nannan, or if he really had countless better options.

Xu Sanshi slowly lowered his head. After a moment, when he raised it again, his expression had recovered a little. He forced a smile and then said:

"No matter what, I still have to thank you very much. When you return to Lingdou City, please give my regards to His Majesty and the others."

Shu Yan nodded slightly without saying anything else. After greeting Beibei and Tang Ya, he continued walking forward with Han Ruoruo.

After Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo walked away, the shocked Bei Bei and Tang Ya slowly came back to their senses. Tang Ya stepped forward and patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder, then said in disbelief.
"No, you have the blood of the Douling royal family?" Beibei also stared at Xu Sanshi. To be honest, as Xu Sanshi's best rival and brother in the outer courtyard, he had no idea that Xu Sanshi actually had the blood of the Douling royal family.

Xu Sanshi looked at Shu Yan's receding figure and let out a long breath. Then he spoke softly:

"Indeed, there is. My mother is the youngest sister of the previous generation of Douling Emperor. Although she is not too old, she has a high generation in the royal family and is the aunt of the current Douling Emperor."

"What!?"

Beibei and Tang Ya exclaimed at the same time and looked at Xu Sanshi in disbelief.

After a moment of silence, Beibei sighed softly and patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder. Then he said:

"If that's the case, considering Jiang Nannan's status, she is indeed not worthy of you..."

"Although I'm not entirely sure what the deal you just mentioned is, I believe it's extremely important to you. I'm sure it's because of that deal that Jiang Nannan is so disgusted and indifferent to you. But as your brother, I have to admit that you're right."

"If that deal really wasn't forced by one party, then you really don't owe Jiang Nannan anything..."

Xu Sanshi remained silent for a while before he said:
"Beibei, come with me to the Fighting Spirit Zone and have a good fight. I'm a little confused right now. We can talk about other issues later..."

Beibei was stunned at first when he heard this, then he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go. I'll play with you as long as you want today."

After saying this, Beibei turned to look at Tang Ya again, and then said softly:
"Xiaoya, I'm sorry I may not be able to accompany you to Shrek City for shopping today. Sanshi..."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Ya spoke directly:

"It's okay. We can go shopping anytime. Let's go to the fighting spirit area. It's a good opportunity for me to hone my combat skills."

Beibei nodded, and then the three of them walked towards the outer courtyard fighting spirit area together. However, the atmosphere was not as lively as before...

……

Walking between the towering buildings, Han Ruoruo suddenly said:
"Speaking of which...Ayan, are you hiding something from me? I always feel like you know something that I don't, especially your conversation with Beibei. It makes me feel like you know him very well."

Shu Yan gently held Han Ruoruo's hand, and then said:

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, Sister Ruoruo, but the issues involved are too deep and have too wide a scope, so I just can't bring myself to speak now."

"As for Beibei... Sister Ruoruo, you only need to know that in terms of background alone, there are few people in the entire continent who can compare to him. His Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit hides an even more powerful force, and that force comes from the Holy Dragon of Light..."

"Holy Dragon of Light?"

Han Ruoruo murmured, as if she suddenly remembered something, but when she was about to think about it in detail, her memory suddenly became very vague. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she always stayed in an area one step away from the truth and could not move forward.

After a while, Han Ruoruo finally couldn't hold back the pain of knowing the answer but not being able to remember it.

"Oh, Ayan, just tell me, okay, sister, I'm itchy..."

Han Ruoruo hugged one of Shu Yan's arms. The surprisingly soft touch, coupled with Han Ruoruo's somewhat strange words, made Shu Yan's body stiffen for a moment.

Seeing that Shu Yan didn't respond for a long time, Han Ruoruo was a little confused at first, but after recalling what she had said, a thunder suddenly sounded in her world, almost breaking her to pieces.

"No, no, Ah Yan, what I mean is that I feel itchy inside. It's... that feeling of having an impression but not being able to remember it no matter how hard you try. That's not what I mean. You... you can understand, right?"

Seeing Han Ruoruo almost dropping her little pearl in a hurry, Shu Yan's evil taste surged again, and then he deliberately said with a stern face:
"Sister Ruoruo, I never thought you would be this kind of person..."

Hearing this, Han Ruoruo's face became even more anxious, and she held Shu Yan's arm with a lot more strength, so that Shu Yan's arm was completely sunk into the soft embrace.

hiss…

Shu Yan took a breath of cold air, looking at the corners of Han Ruoruo's eyes that were already wet. With great willpower, he forced himself to slowly pull out the arm that Han Ruoruo was holding in his arms. Then he stretched out a hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of Han Ruoruo's eyes and said softly:
"Okay, I'm just kidding, Sister Ruoruo. When did Sister Ruoruo start crying so easily? This is not like the Sister Ruoruo I know..."

Han Ruoruo's tearful look was indeed pitiful. For a moment, Shu Yan wanted to curse himself for being such a piece of shit for causing such a beautiful woman to be like this.

After coaxing Han Ruoruo for a long time, she finally came out of her panic and shyness. Then she took Shu Yan's hand and begged in a low voice:

"Then you have to tell your sister the answer?"

"Okay, I'll tell Sister Ruoruo when we get back to the inner courtyard, but before I tell you, we have to eat first..."

"Ah~ Okay, okay, do you want to eat in the cafeteria or at home? If you want to eat at home, I'll let you eat from below..."

Shu Yan hesitated for a moment, then said decisively:

"Well... let's eat at home. I want to eat the noodles that Sister Ruoruo made..."
