Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

The residence that the Heavenly Dou Empire specially gifted to Dugu Bo.

"Yanyan, you two go for a stroll. Grandpa won't interfere, but remember to come back early." After leaving these words, Dugu Bo returned to his room and became a homebody.

Although he has an eccentric temper, he is still perceptive.

Two young people are getting to know each other, why is this old guy spoiling the fun?

"Then let's go!"

Dugu Yan was overjoyed inside, but she managed to remain calm on the surface.

The two went out together and walked on the streets of Tiandou City.

"Yanzi, what are we going to do now?" Lin Chuan suddenly asked.

Dugu Yan pursed her red lips, thought carefully for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "How about I take you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and introduce you to a friend while I'm at it?"

"Alright!"

Since he had decided to relax for a few days, Lin Chuan naturally didn't have many requirements about where to go.

Led by Dugu Yan, the two proceeded to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, the girl did not forget to tell Lin Chuan about the basic situation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For her, who had studied there for several years, this was as easy as knowing her own family history.

Before long, Lin Chuan and Dugu Yan left Tiandou City.

It is worth mentioning that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not located within Heaven Dou City. According to Dugu Yan's description, it was probably because there was no suitable location within the city, and they were also afraid that the extravagant lifestyle would affect the students' cultivation, so they placed the academy outside the city.

This is not much different from Tianshui College.

However, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is not far from Heavenly Dou City, only about 20 kilometers away. After walking for about an hour, we arrived at our destination.

"What a huge mountain! That's quite a grand gesture."

Lin Chuan looked up at the majestic mountain before him and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Although Tianshui Academy is also located near Feishuang Mountain, it is nothing compared to the mountain where Tiandou Royal Academy is located. This is the foundation of the Tiandou Empire, which is incomparable to the Shui family.

Not only that, the environment is also quite nice, nestled against the mountains and by the water, covered with various vegetation, resembling a paradise.

Seeing Lin Chuan's appearance, Dugu Yan smiled.

"Come on, Xiao Chuan, let me show you around."

Lin Chuan rolled his eyes, but still followed after him.

Walking along the tree-lined path on the hillside, enjoying the scenery along the way, we hadn't gone more than a few steps when several figures suddenly appeared in our sight. Judging from their light yellow school uniforms, they should be students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"Stop, who are you?"

A young man spoke sternly, blocking Lin Chuan and his companion's path.

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but before he could speak, Dugu Yan stepped forward and glared at the dozen or so people in front of him with an unfriendly expression.

"What? Avalanche? It's only been less than a year since I left, and you don't recognize me?"

Unlike her gentle demeanor in front of Lin Chuan, Dugu Yan's style at this moment was incredibly fierce.

The young man leading the group rubbed his eyes and finally recognized Dugu Yan. The disdain on his face disappeared completely, replaced by an awkward smirk. "So it's Sister Yan. It's just that you've changed so much that we didn't recognize you."

This doesn't sound like a lie; Dugu Yan has indeed changed a lot.

Her original dark purple short hair had all faded and turned into black hair. If we didn't see each other for a long time, we might not recognize her.

"Sister Yan, why did you suddenly come back?"

Avalanche gave an awkward smile, his expression full of obsequiousness, and cautiously asked the question.

This is not the kind of behavior a prince should exhibit.

"What? Do I have to report to you when I get back?" Dugu Yan snorted and suddenly revealed a very dangerous smile.

Upon seeing this scene, Xue Beng seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, his face paled, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Sister Yan is joking. Of course not. You can come back whenever you want. Tian Dou Royal Academy will always welcome you."

"It's good to know!"

Seeing that Xue Beng was so sensible, Dugu Yan stopped pressing him.

"Ogawa, let's go!"

The girl turned around, her fierce demeanor vanishing instantly, and gave Lin Chuan a sweet smile. The stark contrast made it seem as if the aloof person from just moments ago wasn't her at all.

So women from all worlds are really good at changing their expressions?

Lin Chuan silently complained in his heart, but nodded calmly on the surface.

The students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy quickly moved to the sides to make way for the two, and with ingratiating smiles on their faces, they watched the two leave with great 'enthusiasm'.

As their figures intersected, Lin Chuan's gaze swept over the avalanche without making a sound.

The fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire gave off a rather pathetic impression, a complete spoiled brat. But he knew that all of this was just a disguise. He deliberately pretended to be crazy and even endured humiliation, which was something that not an ordinary person could do.

Therefore, avalanches are the kind of people who can achieve great things.

After a quick glance, Lin Chuan looked away. Although he admired Xue Beng's patient nature, he did not intend to have much contact with him.

Before they knew it, the two had gradually disappeared into the distance, and the people who remained behind finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, why do you think that poisonous woman, Dugu Yan, suddenly came back?"

One of the underlings approached Avalanche and couldn't help but whisper a question.

"How would I know?" Avalanche glared at him, gritting his teeth. "This woman ran away, and then suddenly came back. What bad luck."

Upon hearing this, the group of underlings quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Avalanche waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, this woman has ruined my good mood. Let's go back to school!"

"what?!"

The group of underlings immediately let out a wail, but after seeing Xue Beng's expression change, they quickly composed themselves and nodded obediently.

Avalanche led the way, his eyes gleaming faintly where no one could see him.

'Why has Dugu Yan suddenly changed so much? A sudden transfer to another school must mean something happened. Is it related to the boy next to him?'

'Perhaps we could have someone test the waters...'

With this in mind, Xue Beng suddenly had an idea.

On the other side, Lin Chuan entered the mountains under the guidance of Dugu Yan, and the scale of the Tian Dou Royal Academy was immediately displayed.

The air in the mountains is not only fresh but also very humid, giving people a sense of tranquility and joy.

"Wild Goose, how much longer?"

"We should be there soon, not far ahead."

Leaving the mountain road, we took a small path, which wound its way around, and suddenly the sound of gurgling water reached our ears, and the air was filled with the scent of plants.

Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy. "We're almost there."

Lin Chuan nodded slightly. He had indeed sensed many auras ahead, one of which contained a very strong life force. It should be Ye Lingling, the one he was looking for.

After passing through the dense forest, a clear spring comes into view.

Beside the pool, a sweet young girl sat cross-legged. She looked to be in her early twenties, with a slender figure and a black veil covering her face. Her long, blue hair, as blue as the sea, cascaded down her back.

"Lingling is indeed here!"

Seemingly disturbed by the sudden shouts, the girl frowned slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Yanyan?!"

Upon seeing that familiar face, Ye Lingling was stunned.

Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward, took Ye Lingling's hand, and a look of joy appeared on her face. "Long time no see, Lingling."

Ye Lingling slowly stood up, her expression remaining unchanged.

"Long time no see, Yan Yan, what brings you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy all of a sudden?"

"Of course I missed you. I just happened to be passing through Tiandou City, so I came back to see you. How have you been lately? Have you been doing well since I left?"

The girl shook her head; her voice was melodious, yet somewhat hollow.

"It's alright, the same as before."

As always, she was indifferent and concise, which gave Dugu Yan a headache. She couldn't help but complain, "Lingling, you're still the same. Can't you smile more? If you keep acting like this, you probably won't have anyone to talk to at school."

Ye Lingling did not respond, but it was clear from the girl's expression that she did not care.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan could only sigh.

"Forget about that, let's not talk about it. I'll introduce you to someone."

There should be another chapter tonight. I'm writing a bit slowly, so please forgive me, dear readers!
