Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 12 Conversation with Gu Yue

Wang Dong hurriedly jumped off Chen Qiye.

Wang Dong stared intently at Chen Qiye with her bright eyes, gritting her teeth as she spoke, her entire demeanor like that of a young girl whose virginity had been taken away.

At this moment, Tang Ya spoke up, "Chen Qiye, Yuhao, you haven't introduced these two junior students to me yet?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao, though unaware of what had transpired between Chen Qiye and Wang Dong, still stepped forward to mediate.

"Teacher Xiaoya, this is my roommate Wang Dong and classmate Gu Yue. Wang Dong, Gu Yue, this is Tang Ya, our senior."

Wang Dong and Gu Yue nodded to Tang Ya, seemingly as a greeting.

Tang Ya looked at Wang Dong and smiled, "What a handsome little boy! I like him. How about you, Xiao Yuhao, try to persuade him to join our Tang Clan?"

Upon hearing the words "Tang Clan," Wang Dong's body trembled slightly, and he asked in surprise, "You're from the Tang Clan?"

Tang Ya nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, now there are only three of us in the Tang Clan. I am the current leader of the Tang Clan. How about that? Aren't you shocked? Come on, the Tang Clan welcomes you."

She was just saying it casually. Don't be fooled by Tang Ya's usual carefree attitude. Anyone who thinks she's stupid will suffer a great loss at her hands sooner or later.

Tang Ya had long recognized Wang Dong's extraordinary nature; his essence was contained, and his soul power was solid. His cultivation was clearly far superior to Huo Yuhao's.

However, to Tang Ya's surprise, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang Dong actually nodded to her and said, "Alright! I've long heard of the wonders of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons. Sect Leader Tang, I wish to join the Tang Clan. Please accept me."

"Huh? You really want to join our Tang Clan? We only have three people left in the Tang Clan now." Tang Ya was taken aback, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong nodded seriously and said, "I hope to join the Tang Clan and learn hidden weapons."

Tang Ya's expression also became serious. She said, "I'll think about this matter and have Yuhao tell you my answer later."

"What's wrong, Gu Yue? Aren't you curious? The Tang Clan was the number one sect for hidden weapons ten thousand years ago. Didn't you ever think about joining it?"

Chen Qiye had already arrived beside Gu Yue and said with a smile.

"Tch, you joined?"

"No!"

"So if you don't join, does that mean the Tang Clan isn't all that great?"

“…………”

According to Chen Qiye's original idea, Gu Yue should come to integrate into the human world, and there is no reason for Gu Yue not to join Tang Sect, a sect that was once very important on the continent!

"Haha, Gu Yue, you're so funny. Just because I don't join the Tang Sect doesn't mean I don't want to join the Tang Sect. In fact, I won't join any sect."

"After all, joining a sect means having to manage and control everything, which is too troublesome."

"Oh, me too..."

In fact, Chen Qiye said this not only to give Gu Yue a way out, but also because...

Another reason is that offending Tang Ya is the same as offending Bei Bei, offending Bei Bei is the same as offending Zhang Lexuan, and offending Zhang Lexuan is the same as Chen Qiye asking for trouble.

.........

In the short time it took them to talk, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei had already entered the competition venue, and their supporters were constantly chanting each other's names.

Chen Qiye wasn't very interested in this match. With Huo Yuhao, that overpowered guy, on the field, Bei Bei could easily defeat Xu Sanshi in just a few moves. And now Tang Ya had already started asking Huo Yuhao to cheat.

But after Gu Yue greeted Wang Dong, Gu Yue sat down next to him, and for some reason Chen Qiye felt that he could smell a bit of gunpowder.

Next, just as Chen Qiye had expected, Bei Bei quickly and easily resolved the match, and Wang Dong, just like in the original story, discovered that Huo Yuhao had helped cheat.

On the field—

"You're kidding me. A bet's a bet. Hand over the Xuan Shui Pill." Bei Bei smiled and used her dragon claw to inject a bit of lightning soul power into Xu Sanshi, causing Xu Sanshi's tall body to tremble.

"Hehe, plan worked." Tang Ya chuckled as she watched the two who had won.

After Huo Yuhao fainted due to exhaustion of his mental and soul power, Chen Qiye suddenly noticed that he was fainting in his direction.

While Wang Dong and Tang Ya weren't paying attention, Chen Qiye calmly and quietly pushed Huo Yuhao towards Wang Dong.

When Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao falling towards him, he instinctively hugged Huo Yuhao.

"What's wrong with him?" Wang Dong asked in surprise.

Tang Ya was startled when she saw Huo Yuhao collapse. She quickly checked Huo Yuhao's condition before letting out a sigh of relief.

"My soul power is depleted, but I'm fine! Let's go!"

Having done something wrong, what else do you want to do if you don't leave sooner?

Tang Ya and Wang Dong helped Huo Yuhao back to the dormitory. Chen Qiye, afraid that they would complain about him for not helping, made an excuse and ran away first.

After seeing Chen Qiye leave, Gu Yue also left the Soul Fighting Zone.

When they reached the dormitory entrance, Bei Bei caught up with them. After using her soul power to help Huo Yuhao regulate his body, she took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from the bottle, and put it into Huo Yuhao's mouth.

"Young man, please take good care of him. There's also a pill for Chen Qiye." Senior students aren't allowed in junior students' dormitories; that's a school rule. So, Bei Bei could only ask Wang Dong for help.

Wang Dong stared blankly. Coming from a prestigious family, she was well-informed and had clearly seen the appearance of the pill that Bei Bei had poured out.

Just as Wang Dong received the pills and wanted to ask Chen Qiye for help in carrying Huo Yuhao back to the dormitory, he was told that Chen Qiye had already run away.

Wang Dong was furious, his teeth itching. "Not only did he almost kill me, but he also ran away so fast to help. But one day I'll definitely pin Chen Qiye down and beat him up to vent my anger."

…………

On the shores of Poseidon Lake, lush green trees provide ample shade, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the lake's surface, which resembles a piece of blue brocade, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. Under the shade of the trees—

A figure was wandering around aimlessly.

After what happened last night, Chen Qiye had no desire to cultivate. He sat alone by the lake, chewing on a blade of grass, enjoying the cool morning breeze, trying to calm his mind.

"Chen Qiye, what are you doing here?"

Chen Qiye turned his head and saw that the person was Gu Yue.

"It's you!"

Gu Yue walked over and sat down next to Chen Qiye, also looking at the lake.

"I thought you were a cultivation fanatic because you were so strong, class monitor, that you would cultivate whenever you had time. I didn't expect you to have such leisure time."

Chen Qiye glanced at Gu Yue sitting next to him, then turned back to look at the lake...

"Sigh, why bother with such crazy training? People should enjoy life while they can, why all the fighting and killing?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes fell into deep thought for some reason.

"All this fighting and killing? Then let me ask you, why do humans have to hunt spirit beasts to become stronger?"

"Who knows! Some people might hunt for status, others for dignity, or for greater strength—there are many reasons. But why hunt soul beasts, as you asked?"

"Actually, this can be summed up in just four words: the survival of the fittest."

Why...?

"Gu Yue, you should know that in ancient times, humans were hunted by soul beasts. At that time, humans were just food in the eyes of soul beasts."

"But nowadays, soul beasts have become a necessity for humans to become stronger. They can be hunted for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years as their strength grows."

"In this world, the strong and the weak can be interchanged, black and white can be reversed, and the strength of different groups can rise and fall."

"Let alone hunting soul beasts, death and killing also exist between humans and between soul beasts."

"War, sacrifice, and death are unavoidable aspects of this world."

"Whether it's humans hunting soul beasts or soul beasts hunting humans, it's just the normal workings of this world."

"We are caught in this vortex, and all we can do is go with it."

"Yeah?"

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about humans hunting soul beasts?"

"Nothing, I just inexplicably wanted to ask!"

Gu Yue suddenly asked, "Hey, by the way, Chen Qiye, why don't you tie your hair up? You look a bit like..."

Halfway through her sentence, Gu Yue stopped speaking and looked at Chen Qiye.

"Well."

Do you think I wanted to keep it? I trained it for a few months before school started, and before I knew it, it had grown this long. I'm too lazy to cut it.

Chen Qiye just wanted to say, I'm a male transmigrator, I didn't have a girlfriend in my previous life, I've never even touched a rubber band or anything, how am I supposed to tie someone up?

"You wouldn't believe it! I never thought our class monitor couldn't even tie her hair properly, would you? No way!" Gu Yue seemed to have read Chen Qiye's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Me! Who said I can't?" Chen Qiye retorted.

"Here, take this. Tie one up so I can see."

Gu Yue pulled out a few hair ties from somewhere and handed them to Chen Qiye.

Chen Qiye stared at Gu Yue with a dark expression, his hand gripping the rubber band.

"Ha! Ha! I'll help you myself."

Gu Yue smiled, got up and came behind Chen Qiye, tying up Chen Qiye's long hair that was draped over his shoulders.

Just like in many martial arts novels.

"This is much better," Gu Yue said with a smile, looking at Chen Qiye's current appearance.

Chen Qiye touched the back of his hair.

"I never thought I'd have hair growing out. If I were at school on Blue and White Star, the headmaster would have already given me scissors to cut it."

"Even so, thank you anyway!"

"It's nothing, just something I did!"

Why do people in martial arts, fantasy, and xianxia novels all like to have long hair?

It's definitely just to look cool!

The two of them quietly watched the lake and felt the wind blowing from it.

"Hey? Look! Isn't there a red dot over there?" Gu Yue suddenly said, looking at the lake.

Chen Qiye's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly! A sense of despair, like escaping one tiger's den only to fall into another, instantly overwhelmed his heart.
