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

Chapter 53 Meeting Lu Si'en

Shen Qingqing continued, "That's right, otherwise she would have been fired long ago."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly, wondering what Lu Si'en had gone through to cause such a drastic change in him.

Although it's good to cultivate diligently, judging from their descriptions, Lu Si'en has clearly gone astray and can't continue like this.

However, she knew that if she was suddenly disturbed during cultivation, all her previous efforts could be wasted.

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly and said, "Alright, then I'll try to persuade Lu Si'en after he finishes his cultivation."

Hu Liena nodded vigorously, then gave the others a wink. They reacted quickly and followed her.

Even after walking quite a distance, Song Liyang still looked puzzled. After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, he finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Lu Si'en clearly doesn't listen to anyone. Do you think he'll listen to Qiu Qiu?"

Shen Qingqing glanced back at him, then rolled her eyes in exasperation. "This child is hopeless."

Song Liyang scratched his head, still not understanding what they meant. He quickly walked to Shen Qingqing's side. "Are you so sure? Does Qiuqiu know some secret about Lu Si'en that she's using to threaten him?"

Hu Liena turned to look at him speechlessly, "You... stop thinking and focus on your cultivation."

Song Liyang glanced at Shen Qingqing with flushed cheeks, then scratched his head and said, "I know."

……

As the sun set, its afterglow fell upon Ye Jingqiu, bathing her in a golden light.

Lu Si'en slowly opened his eyes. This aura was somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat unfamiliar. Lu Si'en turned his head away warily.

The black-haired girl, with her hair reaching her waist, was cultivating with her eyes closed.

Lu Si'en froze on the spot, staring at the girl in disbelief. He blinked hard, and it took him a long time to confirm that it wasn't a hallucination.

He hurriedly ran outside and stood beside Ye Jingqiu, not daring to blink. For a full year and a half, he had not seen the person in front of him.

During this period, he was deeply self-loathing. If he had been strong enough, Ye Jingqiu would not have been injured when he faced the ambush that day.

If he had killed Zhang Wanhao beforehand, none of this would have happened. It was all his fault; he failed to protect Ye Jingqiu.

So for the past year and a half, Lu Si'en didn't even dare to sleep. He stretched one day into two, just wanting to become stronger as quickly as possible so that he could protect Ye Jingqiu when she returned.

After learning that Qian Daoliu was the one who rescued Ye Jingqiu that day, Lu Si'en guessed where she had gone.

Offering Hall.

Lu Si'en didn't not want to see her; he just felt ashamed to face her, so he focused on cultivating himself to become stronger.

Ye Jingqiu has grown up, with an oval face, eyebrows as dark as ink, and skin as white as jade.

Her eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and Lu Si'en quickly averted her gaze, her ear tips turning slightly red.

Ye Jingqiu opened his eyes, his golden eyes clear and bright. "Lu Si'en."

A cold voice came from behind. Lu Si'en was slightly startled before slowly raising his head to look at Ye Jingqiu. Their eyes met, and Lu Si'en's pupils trembled.

"Ye Jingqiu".

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, then frowned slightly. "I heard from them that you've been cultivating like a madman lately?"

Actually, if you think about it, Ye Jingqiu and Lu Si'en have the best relationship among the seven-person team.

Lu Si'en was not good with words, and even after joining the seven-person team, he usually didn't talk much with them.

In other words, Lu Si'en would spend more time with Ye Jingqiu whenever he went to the Spirit Hall, and they would talk more. But Ye Jingqiu always felt that although Lu Si'en didn't like to talk, he was a very nice person.

Although she didn't know what had happened to him, Ye Jingqiu sincerely hoped that Lu Si'en would be alright.

"Lu Si'en, you can't go on like this. I know you want to become stronger, but you're clearly not normal right now."

"Everyone is worried about you. I'm not saying you shouldn't practice, but you should do it in moderation and not overexert yourself."

Lu Si'en looked at Ye Jingqiu quietly and listened silently, nodding occasionally. Only after she finished speaking did he say, "I understand. I will pay attention in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded vigorously, and said with a slight smile, "It's good that you've figured it out."

She paused for a moment before saying, "Everyone's waiting for us to eat, shall we go?"

Lu Si'en responded and followed behind Ye Jingqiu, the two of them walking together towards the center of Wuhun City.

Ye Jingqiu walked in with practiced ease upon arriving at the restaurant entrance. She was a regular customer here. Guang Ling loved the food here, and he would bring Ye Jingqiu here to eat every time he returned to the Hall of Offerings from the Spirit Hall.

The moment the boss saw Ye Jingqiu, he greeted him, "The same few dishes as before?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu shook her head. "No, I came with other friends. They've already made reservations." With that, she slowly walked upstairs.

Upon hearing Ye Jingqiu's voice, Lu Si'en paused slightly, but almost instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Jingqiu and Lu Si'en pushed open the door to the private room, and everyone turned to look at the two of them.

When his gaze fell on Lu Si'en, Song Liyang's eyes widened in disbelief. "Lu Si'en, you actually came?"

He turned to look at the crowd, wanting to share their shock, but everyone except him remained calm, as if Lu Si'en's arrival was something they had expected.

Ye Jingqiu sat down in the empty seat, and Lu Si'en followed suit and sat down next to her.

Hu Liena, who was sitting on the other side of Ye Jingqiu, immediately hugged her arm. "You've finally arrived! I'm starving!"

Xie Yue went outside and asked the waiter to serve the food.

Ye Jingqiu smiled and said, "I was cultivating just now and lost track of time. Nana, you should eat more later, I'll pay the bill."

Hu Liena chuckled. When Ye Jingqiu first arrived, she thought she was a poor girl like herself, but now, although Hu Liena didn't know Ye Jingqiu's true identity, she was definitely not ordinary.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Ye Jingqiu said, "Don't be so polite, there's no need for formalities between us."

Everyone was very considerate and didn't pry into the matter of Ye Jingqiu's disappearance for a year and a half.

The dishes were served quickly.

Hu Liena was clearly starving. She picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth. After eating half of it, she remembered and turned to Ye Jingqiu, asking, "Qiuqiu, how much soul power do you have now?"

Ye Jingqiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm already level 45."

Everyone immediately put down their chopsticks.
