Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Ability Lock, Intercepting the Zhu Sisters

Chapter 40 Standing Like a Henchman: Yu Tianheng!

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's smile froze.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng noticed Dai Yao standing in front of Dugu Yan and was slightly taken aback.

"You're Dai Yao from the Star Luo team?!"

Dai Yao nodded.

After the battle with the Spirit Hall, it's not surprising that people from the major academies of the two empires knew about him.

Dai Yao guessed that the handsome young man in front of him was probably from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, just like Dugu Yan.

"Dai Yao, his name is Yu Tianheng, he's my classmate."

"My martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao said calmly, "So you are a genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

When Yu Tianheng heard Dai Yao call him a genius, he felt flattered and surprised.

"I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it!"

Dai Yao was somewhat surprised to see this.

So humble!

This is somewhat inconsistent with the character of a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

In Dai Yao's opinion, the owner of the number one beast martial soul in the world should look down on people!

"Yanzi, it's getting late. Shouldn't we head back?" Yu Tianheng didn't dare look Dai Yao in the eye. He looked away and spoke softly to Dugu Yan.

"You go back first, I'll wander around some more," Dugu Yan said casually.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng felt that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to decide whether to leave or stay.

After all, he only came along because he wanted to pursue Dugu Yan.

Dai Yao didn't have time to watch them shoving and jostling each other.

He carried Zhu Zhuqing and left on his own.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan followed after him with her long, snow-white legs.

Yu Tianheng felt a sudden urgency, a sense of urgency washing over him.

"Zhuqing, don't you want your pineapple anymore?" Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"I'm not eating pineapple anymore! Give it all to the pretty sister!" Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand and said, then pointed to the candied hawthorns not far away, "Brother-in-law, candied hawthorns!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao granted Zhu Zhuqing's request.

I bought two skewers and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan one after the other.

"Do you want some?" Dai Yao asked, looking at Yu Tianheng, who was following behind like a lackey.

"No, no need." Yu Tianheng waved his hand awkwardly.

Dai Yao withdrew his gaze.

"Ouch! So sour!" Zhu Zhuqing took a bite of the candied hawthorn, and her little face immediately scrunched up.

"It doesn't taste good."

"Brother-in-law, here you go."

Dai Yao's lips twitched slightly.

Dugu Yan watched this scene from the side and chuckled softly, covering her mouth.

Dai Yao looked at Dugu Yan, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is it really that sour?"

Dugu Yan took a candied hawthorn and put it in her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she smiled and said, "I think it's fine."

Dai Yao carried Zhu Zhuqing as they walked side by side with Dugu Yan.

Yu Tianheng followed behind like a lackey.

Dugu Yan scrutinized Dai Yao's profile, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of light.

"Dai Yao, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao stopped teasing Zhu Zhuqing.

He glanced sideways at Dugu Yan, puzzled.

Why do you say that?

A smile appeared on Dugu Yan's lips.

"In a way, you are a benefactor to me and my grandfather."

"Without you, Grandpa and I don't know where we'll go in the future."

Shouldn't I thank you?

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao remained unmoved.

In his view.

There was no gratitude between them.

That was just a transaction!

He then shook his head.

"That was just a mutually beneficial transaction; it didn't involve anything else."

"And it's not me who truly helps you."

Dugu Yan frowned.

Dai Yao seemed too serious to her.

Or perhaps it's because the two of them are still quite unfamiliar with each other.

……

night.

The headquarters of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Yan, who was deep in thought with her head down, and a look of tension appeared on his face.

"Yanzi, did you know Dai Yao before?"

Yu Tianheng sensed a sense of urgency from Dai Yao.

That feeling.

It's as if, if you're not careful, Dugu Yan might be taken away by Dai Yao.

"Hmm." Dugu Yan didn't even look up, her eyes flashing. "I met him a few times two years ago."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng began to feel nervous.

It's only because he and Dugu Yan have only known each other for half a year...

Dugu Yan was unaware of what Yu Tianheng was thinking.

Similarly, she didn't notice that Yu Tianheng was standing there in a daze.

Dugu Yan returned to her room on her own.

On the balcony.

Dugu Bo lay quietly in the rocking chair, closing his eyes to rest.

Dugu Yan noticed this and was somewhat surprised.

"grandfather?"

What are you doing here?

Dugu Bo's lips curled up slightly.

"I saw you spending the day with that kid Dai Yao."

"How is it?"

"How's it going with that kid?"

Dugu Bo opened his eyes and gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

"If you ask me, he's ten times stronger than that brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!"

"certainly."

"Grandpa won't force you, he'll only help you."

"Whatever choice you make, Grandpa will support you."

Dugu Yan blushed unnaturally as she listened to these words.

Dugu Bo's words were like laying these emotional issues out on the table.

Dugu Yan spoke in a very hesitant tone, her cheeks flushed.

A few drops of water vapor appeared in her eyes.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?"

"I've only met him a few times."

"It's not as outrageous as you say!"

"besides!"

"When did I say I was going to choose Yu Tianheng?"

"Don't you dare connect any wires to my system!"

Dugu Yan looked very shy at the moment, her fingers unconsciously hooking her beautiful red and blue long hair.

Dugu Bo tilted his head slightly.

His gentle gaze was fixed on Dugu Yan at this moment.

Dugu Yan's every move was observed.

"Back then, Grandpa only sent you there because he thought that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the academy with the best resources in the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If you want to transfer schools, just tell Grandpa anytime."

Dugu Bo knew Dugu Yan's character perfectly well.

When did you ever show such an attitude?

Dugu Yan pursed her thin lips and said softly:

"Grandpa, I know what you're thinking."

"But you don't know."

"Besides his fiancée, Dai Yao also has a pair of twin sisters by his side!"

"I can tell they've already been..."

"Furthermore," Dugu Yan took a deep breath and slowly said, "his sister-in-law, Zhu Zhuyu, also seems to have feelings for Dai Yao..."

Dugu Yan recalled the events of the day.

She felt incredibly awkward when she and Dai Yao went shopping and later ran into Zhu Zhuyun and her three companions.

She didn't mind Dai Yao doing that.
