Chapter 100 Did you know someone wants to adopt Lavinia as their mother? (4K)

The Gu family's reaction was much calmer than Shen Yi had expected.

If it weren't for the fact that the college forum was full of discussions about Gu Yu's withdrawal from the competition the next morning, Shen Yi would have even doubted whether he had actually dueled with Gu Yu the night before.

However, the controversy surrounding Gu Yu's withdrawal from the competition quickly subsided, replaced by various discussions about the internal competition.

After the internal competitions resumed, Shen Yi began to reap the rewards, and after a day of intense battles, he firmly secured a place in the top three of the low-rank leaderboard.

Many people are watching this match, waiting for Shen Yi to challenge Xu Ran and He Kan.

However, Shen Yi was surprisingly calm today and did not go to duel with Xu Ran and the others on the second day of the competition.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he needed to keep a close eye on the Gu family's situation and couldn't concentrate on the battle.

According to Yingluo's intelligence, the Gu family was already in a state of chaos.

Everyone was frantically searching for Gu Yu's whereabouts.

To Shen Yi's surprise, their first suspicion was not about him, but about Thirteen Princess.

The reason seems to be that they don't think Shen Yi can defeat Gu Yu, who has Kashu.

what----

What is this?

Were they underestimated because they were too weak?

Shen Yi found the whole thing a little funny.

Since the Gu family hasn't suspected him yet, Shen Yi is happy to have some free time and focus more on the competition.

In order to maintain his previous "persona" and avoid being suspected for no reason, Shen Yi relentlessly pursued and intercepted Wu Qi and his group, successfully eliminating all the lower-ranked members of the Xiong Tan Society.

However, the members of the Xiongtan Society were indeed out of sorts today. It was probably because their president, Gu Yu, withdrew from the competition that they were unable to calmly face the duel.

"hateful----"

Looking at the health points that had been blasted away by the electronic angel, Wu Qi's fingers trembled slightly.

He lost.

The defeat was so predictable that not many students even watched the duel.

He knew Shen Yi was very strong, and he knew he would lose.

But to my surprise, I didn't even have a chance to resist the whole time.

The moment Shen Yi seized the initiative, his defeat in this duel was already inevitable.

Wu Qi had no interest in saying anything about the saying "thirty years east of the river" anymore, and turned around and slunk away.

Shen Yi packed up his deck and turned around to check on He Kan and the others' battle, but when he turned back, he found that Thirteen Princess had appeared behind him at some point.

"What do you need me for, senior?" Shen Yi asked with a smile.

Thirteen Princess scrutinized Shen Yi and said, "Thank you for what happened last night."

She was probably referring to the fact that Shen Yi encountered the girl from the Blade World on his way to find Lavinia.

After returning, Princess Jiushi should have reported what had happened to Princess Shisan.

After all, that girl was once a follower card of an elder in the family, so it's best to inform them and confirm their status before trying to steal their follower card.

Judging from the expressions on Thirteen Princess's face when they gathered today, the other party's situation is probably not good.

Clearly, Thirteen Princess hadn't come to Shen Yi just for this matter.

She stared at Shen Yi for a long time before asking, "Do you know Gu Yu's whereabouts?"

"Gu Yu?" Shen Yi was taken aback, then looked puzzled after a moment's thought. "What happened to him?"

He wasn't quite sure what Miki's attitude was towards the matter, so he didn't show any sign of being involved.

Thirteen Princess gave Shen Yi a deep look: "He has disappeared, and the entire Gu family is searching for him."

Upon hearing Thirteen Princess's words, Shen Yi did not feign confusion or surprise, but simply uttered an "Oh."

It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Although Shen Yi's performance was very realistic, duelists never judge a person by observing their words and expressions.

Thirteen Princess felt that Shen Yi must be involved in this matter.

According to the information from the Gu family, Gu Yu went to duel with Shen Yi before he disappeared.

This can be evidenced by the members of the Xiongtan Society in the area where it was active at that time.

Gu Yu's sudden challenge to a duel with Shen Yi was actually quite puzzling, given the apparent vast disparity between the two.

But Thirteen Princess could probably guess the reason; it must be related to the demon god of the Gu family.

My own sister is just like that; under the influence of the Lord of the Broken Sword, she always makes decisions that are inconsistent with her personality.

Only after Thirteen Princess truly mastered the Lord of the Broken Sword did she realize that the God Card would constantly try to influence the mind of its owner.

They are not gifts.

They are a curse.

However, Thirteen Princess did not ask Shen Yi too many questions about this matter.

After all, based on the existing evidence, there is no proof that Gu Yu had any contact with Shen Yi. At most, the duelists in Shen Yi's area vaguely remember that Gu Yu had passed by their vicinity.

But that's all; there's no further detailed proof.

Thirteen Princess nodded, then seemed to be pondering something.

Just when Shen Yi thought the conversation should end there, Thirteen Princess suddenly spoke up again, asking, "Do you know Lavinia?"

Why are you asking this?

Shen Yi was taken aback by Thirteen Princess's unexpected question and subconsciously replied, "I know her."

He paused, realizing the other person seemed to be a dragon cancer patient, and then added, "I recruited Xiao Ai at her bar."

As he spoke, Shen Yi stared into Thirteen Princess's eyes with a hint of regret and said, "Actually, I wanted to recruit Lavinia back then."

Thirteen Princess's expression remained unchanged, but Shen Yi clearly felt her gaze sweep over him like a sharp blade.

"Lavinia is indeed very charming," Thirteen Princess said calmly, "but she will eventually accept my invitation."

""

Competition?

Shen Yi enjoys competition.

The reason he hesitated for so long before revealing his admiration for Lavinia to Princess Thirteen was because he was not one to hide his desires.

"Can you tell me what difficulties Lavinia's world is facing?" Shen Yi asked bluntly.

This is also the purpose of his expression of appreciation.

In this way, he could directly ask Thirteen Princess this question.

In fact, he had asked Lavinia about it before.

However, Lavinia remained tight-lipped about this issue, only promising Shen Yi that she would definitely tell him when he reached level six.

Thirteen Princess did not answer Shen Yi's question.

This is Lavinia's secret, and she has no right to reveal it to outsiders.

Shen Yi was not surprised by this.

This conversation clarified at least a few things for Shen Yi.

At least in terms of evidence, the Gu family certainly can't find anything on him, but the memories of those who were present seem to have been interfered with, which should be attributed to the influence of Kashu's power.

Shen Yi was also affected yesterday.

For example, he forgot that he had already been with Vera, and then forced the doll girl to start another journey.

This is definitely the influence of a demon god.

Shen Yi was very certain when Vera scolded him afterwards.

Since there is no evidence, there is no need to worry about enforcement agencies coming to the door.

Then I won't need to be as restrained as I am today.

As Shen Yi was pondering this, Thirteen Princess suddenly asked, "I heard there's a duelist trying to recruit Lavinia, wanting to adopt her as his mother. Do you know this person?"

""

Unlike her previous calm tone, when Thirteen Princess asked this question, her tone clearly carried a sense of "killing intent".

"Really? There are such perverts?" Shen Yi frowned, his expression showing disgust. "I hate those guys who call people 'Mom' so casually."

Seeing Shen Yi's righteous and stern demeanor, Thirteen Princess couldn't see anything wrong, so she nodded and turned to leave.

Shen Yi had thought she would ask about Princess Kuju, but the guild leader didn't seem interested in her.

Or rather—she knew everything that had happened to Kujuhime.

When Shen Yi found Ji Jiu Shi, she was watching Xu Ran and He Kan's duel.

Pure duelists rarely have the concept of point caps; they are eager to duel every powerful duelist they encounter.

He Kan might have touched it a little, but Xu Ran definitely has that kind of personality.

Thus, a duel between the top two on the leaderboard became inevitable.

"You've been eliminated?" Shen Yi asked, looking at Jiu Shi Ji.

He checked the leaderboard on the way and saw that Kujo Hime wasn't in the top eight, so he casually looked her up.

Princess Kuju should have already fought against every opponent she could duel with.

Although they still have badges, it's clear they have no chance of making it into the top eight.

In fact, by this point, the spots in the knockout stage were pretty much set, and the only suspense was the rankings.

Some of the duelists still fighting on the field are addicted to cards, and even if it is impossible for them to enter the top eight, they still want to finish the matches they can.

There are also internal battles between the top eight players, which are used to understand each other's playing styles before the knockout stage.

Deck information can be purchased.

However, different people can play completely different styles using the same deck. If you play a duel to see who has the best hand, you can sometimes make a mistake by just looking at the deck information.

Just as Ji Jiushi was about to speak, Bangba found Shen Yi and issued a duel challenge.

Even if his remaining opponents finished all their matches and won every single one, they would no longer be able to threaten his position. So he boldly challenged Shen Yi to a duel.

While Shen Yi easily dealt with Lao Ba, He Kan's duel with Xu Ran was still ongoing.

The two sides appear to have entered into a tug-of-war.

The pace of battle in Star Duel is very fast.

Even in lower-level matches, the battle often ends within three rounds.

Since his debut, Shen Yi has mostly finished his duels within two rounds, except for the first few times when Vera was at the bottom of the table and slowed down the game.

Shen Yi was quite surprised that He Kan could fight Xu Ran to the seventh round.

"It's normal for me to be eliminated." Jiu Shi Ji seemed to have anticipated Shen Yi's swift victory and was even able to continue the conversation from before. "After all, I'm not really good at this."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yi and smiled, "So, it would be great if you and He Kan could take first and second place. That way, I could use the club's quota to enter the Soul Card Secret Realm."

"Then you'll have to see if He Kan can live up to your expectations," Shen Yi said with a confident and calm smile.

Looking at Shen Yi's confident demeanor, Ji Shi's eyes glazed over for a moment.

For a fleeting moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her older sister, Thirteen Princess, in Shen Yi.

After Shen Yi finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Jiji's expression. He just stared at Xu Ran's field thoughtfully.

Since learning about the Gu family's despicable behavior in the Golem World, Shen Yi has adopted a critical attitude towards all families and companies in the Starry World.

Xu Ran is the "young master" of the company where Xiao Ai's parents work.

Out of a sense of responsibility towards Xiao Ai, Shen Yi also investigated the Xu family.

The Xu family is not a long-established clan, but rather a newly emerging force that has risen to prominence in recent years.

His father started from almost nothing, earning his first fortune by trading resources between the Soul Card World and the Starry World he had contracted, and then gradually expanded his sphere of influence.

In a social environment like Starry World, is it possible for someone to start from scratch?

This really surprised Shen Yi.

Originally, Shen Yi thought that there should be an element of self-promotion involved by the Xu family.

However, looking at the deck Xu Ran used in the duel, Shen Yi seemed to believe it somewhat.

Xu Ran's deck of cards was completely different from He Kan's.

He Kan's Fantasy Dance Troupe is elegant and noble, representing the highest level of grace in the Starry World.

Xu Ran used a deck from the Starry World that was rarely used: the Miner.

His follower cards are all workers from the Xu family's mines in the Soul Card World.

However, unlike the suffering workers in Shen Yi's memory, these miners, though covered in grime, had energetic faces and even cheerful smiles.

The deck doesn't lie.

The bond between a duelist and their deck is undeniable.

Regardless of what kind of person Xu Ran's father was, at least Xu Ran herself was consistent in her words and deeds.

As Shen Yi was pondering this, the duel between He Kan and Xu Ran was drawing to a close.

As Xu Ran defeated Qian Xun, he immediately followed up with an attack, reducing He Kan's health to zero and resulting in his defeat.

"Tsk, another loss." He Kan said with a hint of regret.

"Just lucky," Xu Ran said modestly.

As he spoke, he spotted Shen Yi not far away.

At that moment, Shen Yi was also looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, they both smiled almost simultaneously.

"Come?"

"it is good."

It's unclear who extended the invitation first, but the other party accepted almost without hesitation.

Xu Ran didn't even rest before showing his ID card.

Shen Yi was not intimidated at all.

"duel."

"Expand!"

Kujuhime was dumbfounded when she saw the battle field unfold.

What happened?

Just a second ago, Shen Yi was probably still chatting with me, right?

How come he started dueling with someone the next second?!

And what about your pleasantries before the duel?

How could it be opened so suddenly?

"That's how duelists are," He Kan said with the air of someone who'd been there. "Sometimes a single glance can spark a duel."

As he spoke, he looked with great interest at the dueling arena in front of him.

Perhaps because he lost quite a lot this month, He Kan has shown a rare bit of ambition.

If he wants to win the championship, he can never get around the two people in front of him.
