Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

"Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry. It's all because of me that you've been targeted by that crazy woman."

Inside the room, Liu Erlong looked at Lin Yu, who looked haggard, with a look full of apology.

Lin Yu didn't respond to Liu Erlong's words; he didn't know what to say.

These past two days, Bibi Dong seems to have really tormented Liu Erlong. Not only that, she also seems to have said something to Liu Erlong.

Now, in Liu Erlong's eyes, her predicament is entirely her own fault. She wanted to go find Yu Xiaogang, which is why she was entangled with this crazy woman, Bibi Dong.

Lin Yu was completely implicated by her, and ultimately became part of Bibi Dong's revenge game.

Putting aside Lin Yu's undercover identity, Liu Erlong's line of thinking is indeed correct; Lin Yu was purely implicated by her.

But Lin Yu didn't expect that the hot-tempered Liu Erlong would eventually back down. What was it that could make Liu Erlong back down?

Seeing that Lin Yu remained silent, Liu Erlong turned to the side, his tone full of helplessness.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you join the Spirit Hall? Given your current situation, joining the Spirit Hall is the best choice. That woman shouldn't make things too difficult for you."

Hearing Liu Erlong's naive idea, Lin Yu finally turned her head and looked at the face that hadn't been etched by time.

He swallowed some of his words, which ultimately turned into a rhetorical question.

"Dean, you're not the type to compromise easily. Did the current Pope of the Spirit Hall threaten you with other people?"

These words struck a nerve with Liu Erlong. She didn't answer, but silently turned away from Lin Yu.

"Did that Pope of the Spirit Hall threaten you with Yu Xiaogang?"

Liu Erlong did not react.

"She used me to threaten you?"

Liu Erlong still didn't react.

Seeing this, Lin Yu stood up, her voice tinged with disappointment: "Since I'm not the Dean's weakness, then I'll join the Spirit Hall."

Liu Erlong gave a soft "hmm".

As Lin Yu finished dressing and was about to leave, she turned back to look at Liu Erlong again: "I'm not the Dean's weakness, nor is Yu Xiaogang. I don't know what the Spirit Hall Pope can use to threaten the Dean. However..."

This remark made Liu Erlong turn around and frown at Lin Yu, who suddenly exuded a murderous aura.

Lin Yu slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"Since Yu Xiaogang isn't the dean's weakness, then I'll go and kill Yu Xiaogang. Anyway, I've disliked him for a long time."

The palpable killing intent made Liu Erlong sit up, his tone laced with hostility.

"Xiaoyu, what do you want to do?"

Lin Yu just chuckled and turned to leave without looking back.

Before he could take two steps, a large hand landed on Lin Yu's shoulder.

"Dean, you won't be able to let go of Yu Xiaogang as long as he's alive. And if you can't let go of him, Bibi Dong will keep bothering you. As long as she wants to target you, even if I join the Spirit Hall, she'll still keep targeting me!"

Seeing that Liu Erlong was still holding her tightly, Lin Yu turned her head and looked at Liu Erlong calmly.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yu's voice carried a hint of determination.

"Dean, why don't you just kill me? That way, even if Bibi Dong wants to make things difficult for you, she won't have a suitable target!"

Liu Erlong couldn't bring himself to say something like, "It's good to keep things as they are."

Lin Yu is young, not yet twelve years old, and has a bright future ahead of her.

Isn't it a waste of his future that she, a woman in her forties, is entangled with him?

Although age isn't a big deal in the world of Soul Masters, it's still hard for a teenager to accept someone who's over thirty years older than them, no matter how you look at it.

Seeing Liu Erlong's conflicted expression, Lin Yu looked disappointed.

"Dean, I've never called you 'teacher,' so there shouldn't be any master-disciple relationship between us, right?"

Seeing Lin Yu's attitude, Liu Erlong could roughly guess what he wanted to say. In order to save face for himself, Liu Erlong took the initiative to speak.

"Well, five years ago I just saw that you were very talented and wanted to use you to make Blue Tyrant Academy famous. We have never had a master-disciple relationship. You should leave, the farther the better."

Hearing these words from Liu Erlong, Lin Yu nodded, indicating that he was not surprised, but shook his head at Liu Erlong's naivety.

"Dean, you should announce to the public that we no longer have a master-disciple relationship."

After leaving those words, Lin Yu left Blue Tyrant Academy.

Lin Yu didn't think Bibi Dong would leave after watching the live stream; she was probably still hiding somewhere.

If I stay at Blue Tyrant Academy tonight, I reckon I'll be harassed by Bibi Dong again in the middle of the night.

After being exhausted all day, Lin Yu felt completely drained. If it happened again at night, she wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep, which would be too torturous!

Since Bibi Dong hasn't shown up, it's best for me to make a quick getaway!

…………

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located outside Heavenly Dou City, a two-hour walk away.

If he were full of energy, Lin Yu could shorten the time, but now he was exhausted and could only rent a carriage.

This carriage uses a bit of soul guidance technology; people can control the direction and speed of the carriage by sending some soul power into certain positions inside.

Not far outside the city, a figure darted into Lin Yu's carriage.

Before Lin Yu could react, a scepter was already pressed against his heart, pinning him down so he could not move an inch.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person who had come in.

It was Bibi Dong.

Upon seeing the visitor, Lin Yu simply greeted him with, "Teacher."

After saying those two words, nothing more was said.

Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu, whose unhappiness was written all over her face, and said with a hint of amusement.

"You seemed to be putting in a lot of effort today. Were you not having fun?"

Lin Yu lowered her head and simply gave a perfunctory "hmm" in response to Bibi Dong's question.

Boom!

Bibi Dong gently tapped Lin Yu's heart with her cane, and a dull thud of metal striking metal instantly echoed in the carriage.

This seemingly casual, light touch caused Lin Yu's entire body to slam against the vehicle's interior wall.

Lin Yu realized something was wrong with the carriage after the collision. At that moment, a powerful soul force was enveloping the carriage, and not only did he pretend not to react, but his spiritual power could not extend outside the carriage!

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Bibi Dong is truly unpredictable!

"There are some people and some things that you may be unhappy about, but it's best to keep it to yourself until you have the power to say no."

Lin Yu did not respond to these words.

However, Bibi Dong didn't pay any attention to that and went straight to the point.

"You're so young, you haven't forgotten the task I gave you, have you?"

"I haven't forgotten. The teacher assigned me a long-term task: to get Liu Erlong pregnant. Considering the difficulty of the task, the teacher also gave me ten thousand years' worth of medicinal herbs."

Lin Yu took out the ancient herb that she could still use in time, and at the same time tentatively asked a question.

"Does the teacher now feel that I am not up to the task and is preparing to take back the herbs?"

Lin Yu's resistance to this mission was within Bibi Dong's expectations.

"Whether or not to take back the mission is my concern. You just need to focus on completing the tasks I assigned you."

At this point, Bibi Dong's voice turned cold.

"I just saw you break off your relationship with that Liu Erlong. You were in such a hurry to sever ties with her, but I didn't see you seriously completing the task I assigned you!"

In response to Bibi Dong's questioning, Lin Yu remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Bibi Dong and spoke calmly.

"Completing the teacher's task wasn't difficult. I severed ties with her simply to preserve what little reputation I had left."

Seeing Bibi Dong's puzzled expression, Lin Yu explained.

"For me, simply liking mature women is much better than being branded as a traitor to one's master and ancestors."
