Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 109 Dugu Bo's Tracking

Qian Daoliu spoke up, "The Shrek Academy team is indeed very strong, that cannot be denied, but there is still a gap compared to you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu tilted his head and remained silent for a long time.

Qian Daoliu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"No, I just think that the fact that they were praised by the teacher means that they are really good."

Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should go back now. The competition is almost over."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, still a little worried, and added, "Teacher, you must wait for me to come."

"Okay," Qian Daoliu replied calmly.

Just as Qian Daoliu had predicted, when Ye Jingqiu returned to the arena, he found that the match had already ended.

She frowned slightly and looked at Lu Si'en beside her, asking, "So? Which side won?"

Lu Si'en spoke up, "The Shrek Academy team won the match. The spirit fusion skill of the Zhu family and the Dai family is indeed as good as its reputation. It is obvious that the Star Luo Royal Advanced Spirit Master Academy is stronger, but Shrek Academy won. They are indeed very strong."

Ye Jingqiu sighed with some regret and said, "It's a pity I didn't get to see the match."

After a pause, remembering Qian Daoliu, she said, "Alright, I have something to do. Now that the competition is over, I'll be leaving first. Lu Si'en, you should go back and get some rest."

Lu Si'en stared at her for a long time, as if he had something to say to her, but after hesitating for a while, he still didn't say anything. "Okay, be careful on the road."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly. "I understand."

As soon as Ye Jingqiu left the competition venue, she felt something was off. She was being watched, not by Qian Daoliu, and his gaze was different. However, she could clearly sense that the person in front of her had no murderous intent. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she headed towards the back mountain.

The trampled moss on the path behind the mountain exuded a grassy smell.

There was no one around at the moment, and Ye Jingqiu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She turned to look at the pine branches behind her. "Why are you following me, senior?" Her five fingers, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She could sense the power of the person behind her; he was a Title Douluo-level expert. Although she was only level 87, she was confident that she wouldn't lose, after all, she still had six soul bones.

With the blessing of the soul bone, her body and strength were already far superior to those of ordinary titled Douluo.

Suddenly, the old pine tree ten feet away rustled, and an old man appeared. He had green hair and his eyes were even greener and brighter.

She had heard of this person before; he was known as Poison, and his martial soul was the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. He used poison as the core of his offense and defense, and his strength ranked among the Title Douluo.

She had heard Yue Guan mention that he was Chrysanthemum Douluo's nemesis, but why was he here?

However, he has a weakness: he is weak in close combat and relies on poison attacks, but lacks offensive or defensive means. In addition, he consumes a lot of poison, and he is prone to revealing his weaknesses in prolonged battles.

If a fight breaks out later, and she can't kill the opponent in one blow, then she'll have to fight a protracted battle. The longer it drags on, the greater her chances of winning will be.

"What are you doing following me, Senior Poison Douluo? I wonder if I have offended you in any way?" Ye Jingqiu asked, his eyes flashing slightly.

Dugu Bo sneered and then said, "You were spying on the caravan when it entered Wuhun City that day, weren't you?"

Ye Jingqiu narrowed her eyes. Although she was a Soul Douluo, even Bibi Dong could no longer detect her soul power fluctuations and aura after she absorbed the soul ring of the Azure Bull Python.

How did this person in front of me know it was her?

Dugu Bo spoke up, "Your strength is indeed very strong, but unfortunately, a person's gaze doesn't change. It's not difficult for me to realize it's you, but I'm just a little curious."

"I watched the match between your Spirit Hall Academy team and the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Academy team. I presume the five people who used their spirits were the five members of your Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?"

"Then what role have you two, who have been just background characters, played? Your strength is not weak, but I can't sense your true strength. Are you a Title Douluo-level powerhouse? But judging from your age, you probably aren't. So what exactly is your true strength?"

Dugu Bo hesitated to make a move, and Ye Jingqiu quickly realized what was going on.

It seems he came to test her. I've heard that he has a close relationship with Shrek Academy, so he's here to test her on behalf of Shrek Academy.

Ye Jingqiu remained calm and said, "Senior, that's not something you need to worry about. However, there are many powerful figures in Wuhun City right now. Are you sure you want to attack the contestants who are about to compete here?"

Ye Jingqiu bet he wouldn't dare, after all, no one would gamble with their own life.

As it turned out, Ye Jingqiu's guess was correct; Dugu Bo hesitated for a while but still did not make a move.

The main reason was that she was too composed, which made Dugu Bo suspect that she might have a backup plan.

He was a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level. Because he didn't know Ye Jingqiu's true strength, he was extra careful when following her, afraid that she would discover something. But even so, she still exposed him on the spot, which shows that she was not simple.

Moreover, normal people who are being followed usually choose to go to crowded places, but Ye Jingqiu did the opposite and came to the back mountain.

This makes it hard not to suspect that she might have some backup plan.

Ye Jingqiu smiled and said, "Senior, you don't need to worry so much. The Shrek Academy team is indeed very strong, and I am also looking forward to the day when we compete against them."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said, "Since it's a competition, I hope your Spirit Hall can afford to lose and stop attacking those kids."

Ye Jingqiu smiled and said, "Senior, I am just an ordinary student in the Spirit Hall Academy. How could I have such great ability to make those decisions?"

Dugu Bo didn't say anything more, and with a leap, he disappeared from Ye Jingqiu's sight.

She stared at the direction he disappeared in for a long time before heading towards Wuhun City.

Night had fallen, and she wondered if Qian Daoliu was still waiting for her.

She hurried toward the courtyard that Qian Daoliu had mentioned and knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside for a long time, and Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Qian Daoliu was probably already asleep, but she still knocked again, unwilling to give up.

A short while later, the door was finally opened from the inside.

Seeing Qian Daoliu, Jing Qiu's eyes flashed and she said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I was delayed on the way and that's why I'm late. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Qian Daoliu's expression was complicated as he said, "No."

Ye Jingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "But the night market just opened at this time. Would you like to come along, teacher?"

The author is sleepy and going to bed. There's one more update before noon.
