Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 293 I love making friends the most

The atmosphere in the attic was somewhat strange.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Yu Yuanzhen, Han Li fell into an awkward silence.

It's not their fault. Anyone sitting next to someone who's so dense they'd practically pop their eyes out would have a hard time having a conversation, let alone someone they weren't familiar with to begin with.

Yu Yuanzhen glanced at his good-for-nothing son, then looked at Liu Erlong, who remained silent.

"Erlong, what's wrong?"

He looked at Han Li, who was leisurely drinking tea to the side, and asked uncertainly.

He also subconsciously felt that there was something fishy going on between the two. Han Li's reputation in this regard was not good, which was thanks to Qian Renxue's previous actions.

"Regarding Flanders, I made an agreement with His Highness the Holy Son; he invited me to watch the match."

Liu Erlong replied coldly that she had sought help from her family, but they had not chosen to help her. And now, judging from their expressions, she knew what dirty things they were thinking.

Yu Yuanzhen smiled awkwardly, while Yu Xiaogang spoke up from the side.

"For Flanders, you actually disregarded..."

Ignoring his reputation, Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to finish his sentence, because Han Li's gaze had already fallen upon him, a smile on his face that sent chills down Yu Xiaogang's spine.

"Knowing you two is the worst thing that could have happened to me in eight lifetimes. Even if Flander is no good, he's still your sworn brother. You good-for-nothing."

Han Li and the others remained silent, but Liu Erlong was uninhibited.

Yu Xiaogang's gaze had already annoyed her. Just now, outside, she was worried about upsetting Han Li, but now, she didn't have to worry anymore. Even if Yu Yuanzhen was right in front of her, she didn't care. If he had the guts, let him do it.

"Alright, Erlong, give your uncle some face."

Looking into Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Yu Yuanzhen could easily guess what his son was thinking, and he sighed.

"snort."

Liu Erlong didn't completely explode because Han Li and the others were present, but her anger rekindled in her eyes when she looked at Yu Xiaogang. She originally didn't want to pay attention to this scumbag anymore, but now she had the urge to kill him.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Saint Han."

Yu Yuanzhen twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Han Li and the others who were enjoying the gossip. He could now confirm that the two of them had nothing to do with each other anymore.

"It's alright, we're the ones who disturbed you. See you at the finals."

Han Li saw that others had already made the gesture of seeing the guests off, and the show was about to end before it even started. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't think much of it.

This was an accident. He had invited Liu Erlong on a whim to annoy Bibi Dong, but who knew he would run into Yu Xiaogang. When he investigated earlier, this guy was still in the hotel. He is not worthy of Han Li's deliberate targeting now.

See you in the finals.

Yu Yuanzhen saw the group out the door and walked back to the attic without looking back. The sounds of Yu Xiaogang shouting and throwing things could still be faintly heard from inside.

Outside, Liu Erlong's expression darkened further.

Han Li didn't care about her performance, and since the order of the visits had been disrupted, he was too lazy to follow the original plan anymore. So he simply visited each person one by one, which made the process even faster.

Finally, only the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, the Star Luo Royal Academy, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remained to be visited.

"Which one should we go to first?"

Han Li looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him; he had originally intended to bring them along.

"Let's go with Xingluo."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath; Han Li had already informed her beforehand.

"Alright, then let's go with Xingluo."

Han Li took the lead and pushed open the gate of Xingluo Royal Academy.

Fifteen minutes later, they came out, and everyone, including Hu Liena, looked bewildered.

Zhu Zhuqing's face was still flushed.

Well, Zhu Zhuyun, who was always extremely strict with her, was like a good sister to her, calling her "good sister" non-stop. Davis also kept echoing her from the side. In short, they looked very happy, as if they had returned home.

"Those who understand the times are wise."

A hint of melancholy crossed Han Li's face. They had received the warmest hospitality at the Star Luo Royal Academy, with Davis and Zhu Zhuyun being a little too enthusiastic.

An empire is an empire, and an individual is an individual. Han Li finally got a taste of the tactics of a politician.

The news of their visit could not be kept secret from others, but Davis went even further, dismissing everyone, including the imperial officials who had come with him.

Then, not yet firmly established as the heir, he showered Han Li and Zhu Zhuqing with praise. Although he did not explicitly express his support, his words conveyed the same meaning.

Being wary of the Spirit Hall and Han Li was something he would consider after becoming the Star Luo Emperor; right now, he only wanted to secure his succession.

Anyway, once we're outside this door, no one will admit to anything. Who knows what their true feelings are behind the scenes? It seems they've already distanced themselves from Han Li before leaving, acting all businesslike.

"Let's go, let's continue."

Han Li didn't bother to think and walked towards the direction where the people from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were.

When they arrived, the other side's personnel were already waiting. Unlike the Star Luo Empire, almost everyone of any importance was there.

Xue Qinghe, an accompanying official of the Heavenly Dou Empire, was present along with everyone from both the first and second teams.

Since everyone was already familiar with each other, Han Li and Xue Qinghe walked side by side, chatting casually, and walked inside as if nothing had changed from before.

Behind him, several girls also stepped out of the group and approached Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, whispering something to each other.

Liu Erlong sat alone, utterly bored. Her gloomy demeanor didn't bother her, but Hu Liena kept glancing towards the second team.

Han Li chose a seat and sat down with Xue Qinghe, without asking the waiter to stay.

"Is everything ready? Also, when are you going to see the old man?"

Han Li used his mental power to shield himself from the surrounding noise and looked at Qian Renxue.

"Don't worry, it's fine. Let's talk about it after the match starts. I can't leave right now."

While answering his questions, Qian Renxue's gaze fell on the two extra people he had brought along this time.

"What's going on with them?"

She looked at Han Li with some confusion. While she could guess something about Hu Liena, Liu Erlong's appearance really puzzled her.

"You'll understand when you meet the old man."

Han Li shook his head; it was a mess, and he couldn't explain it.

"Was she sent by that woman? What is she observing?"

Hu Liena was also someone Qian Renxue paid special attention to. When looking at her, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in Qian Renxue's eyes that was hard to detect.

"Yeah, it was added at the last minute. I also want to know what she's planning to do."

Although that's what he said, from the moment he entered, Han Li's mental energy covered the entire area. He already knew what Hu Liena was observing, and an extremely absurd thought arose in his mind, but he didn't know if it was what he was thinking.

If that were true, it would be absolutely devastating. Han Li glanced at Qian Renxue with some pity, for she was no exception.

"What kind of look is that?"

Qian Renxue looked at Han Li with some dissatisfaction. This guy was really annoying. He was always hiding his thoughts and only saying half of what he meant. Once she surpassed him in strength, she would definitely beat him up.

"Don't worry about these trivial matters. If I'm not mistaken, she seems to be secretly observing the Royal Fighting Team 2. Cooperate with me and let her see enough."

Han Li gave Qian Renxue a look, not caring whether she understood or not.

"it is good."

Although Qian Renxue didn't know what this guy was planning, she was also somewhat concerned about Hu Liena's actions, so she agreed directly.

"Alright, let's go."

A warm smile returned to Han Li's face. Qian Renxue gave him a disgruntled look, but also stood up at the same time, wearing the same smile.

Zhu Zhuqing's appearance undoubtedly made Tang San's face turn red again. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, they would have even wanted to leave immediately.

Then, they saw Han Li and Xue Qinghe, along with the Spirit Hall woman they didn't recognize but who had a foxy look on her face, walking towards them.

Hu Liena followed on her own. She noticed Han Li's actions immediately and followed behind him. However, she had done the same in other places before, so she didn't think it would arouse suspicion.

Just as she expected, Han Li only glanced at her and then ignored her, while Xue Qinghe even nodded at her.

In just a dozen steps, the three of them arrived in front of Huang Dou and his companions.

They had already exchanged greetings, so there was no need to bow again. But even so, Tang San and Dai Mubai felt a little awkward, as if they were already inferior to each other in terms of aura.

"You must be Tang San and Xiao Wu. Let's get acquainted. You should be familiar with me. Han Li, to be honest, this is our first time meeting."

Han Li greeted the two with an impeccable smile, completely ignoring Dai Mubai, who was staring at him with slightly red eyes.

"I only found out later that the three of us were all from Nottingham. I never expected that we would meet here."

"It's just that I found out too late, otherwise I would definitely have invited the two of you to join the Spirit Hall together, and even bestowing titles and escorting you along wouldn't have been out of the question."

Han Li sighed with regret, seemingly unaware that Tang San was from the Clear Sky Sect.

Xiao Wu unconsciously took two steps back. She knew Han Li was joking, but she was still frightened. Being given a title and being carried in a sedan chair, she probably didn't know how she would die.

Tang San didn't know why Xiao Wu reacted this way, but he still squeezed her hand to calm her down and make her look at Han Li with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Son. I only learned later that you also come from Notting City. However, neither of us likes being bound by rules, which may disappoint you."

"It's alright. You are His Highness the Crown Prince's students now. Even if you wanted to, I couldn't compete with him for you."

Han Li smiled and pointed to Xue Qinghe standing to the side.

"However, it's fate that we come from the same place. How about we become friends? I love making friends."

Han Li extended his hand to Tang San, looking completely at ease.

Tang San was slightly taken aback. His background wasn't exactly a secret, so what was this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall all about?

But with everyone's eyes on them, he couldn't refuse, so he extended his hand as well, forcing a smile: "Of course, no problem."
