Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 214 Is Shi Ye a Friend?

Tang Nian nodded, looking at Shi Ye with gratitude, unsure of what to say.

From the moment they first met in the Star Dou Great Forest until now, Shi Ye has helped Tang Nian far too much.

Tang Nian wasn't an ungrateful person. She opened her mouth, but the word "thank you" just wouldn't come out. It was as if saying "thank you" would only make the distance between them grow further.

At this moment, Shi Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled leisurely, "Given the relationship between the two of us, some things don't need to be so clearly defined."

Tang Nian's smile froze, like a flower suddenly touched by frost, losing its former vibrancy. A barely perceptible hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Her deep blue eyes appeared particularly serene at this moment, like the brightest star in the night sky suddenly dimming. The curve of her lips remained, but the faint sorrow between her brows could not be concealed.

What kind of subtle and complex relationship exists between them?

Especially between her and Shi Ye.

If anyone had asked Tang Nian this question before, she would have told them without hesitation that Shi Ye was her good friend, just as close as Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

However, at this moment, the situation has changed. Tang Nian seems no longer willing to regard Shi Ye as just an ordinary friend. As for the specific reasons, even Tang Nian herself finds it difficult to explain.

After a long while, Tang Nian forced herself to slowly raise her head, trying to regain her usual calm and composed demeanor, and asked softly, "What divine position will you inherit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire interior of the carriage fell into an eerie silence that was somewhat oppressive.

Shi Ye did not immediately respond to Tang Nian's question. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, deliberately avoiding Tang Nian's probing gaze.

Seeing Shi Ye's reaction, the intelligent Tang Nian immediately understood what he was thinking. This matter must have been inconvenient for Shi Ye, which is why he couldn't easily reveal the truth to her.

Tang Nian understood immediately and quickly spoke again, trying to change the slightly awkward topic. She smiled and said, "What have you been busy with lately? We haven't seen each other for a long time since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

The tacit understanding between Shi Ye and Tang Nian was self-evident. As soon as Tang Nian said that, Shi Ye knew that she was giving him a way out, so he quickly replied, "It's nothing, I've just been busy with family matters."

After hearing Shi Ye's words, Tang Nian fell into deep thought. After a while, she nodded thoughtfully.

She was well aware of the Shi family's wealth and power. She had always assumed that Shi Ye was either from a powerful sect like Ning Rongrong or from a prominent noble family like Zhu Zhuqing. She hadn't given much thought to other possibilities.

At this moment, Shi Ye's deep eyes were fixed on Tang Nian, as if trying to see through her. After a moment, he slowly asked, "Little Tang Nian, if one day someone deceives you, how will you deal with it?"

Tang Nian tilted her head, pondering seriously for a long time. Finally, she raised her head and answered with a firm gaze, "That depends on what kind of lie this person is making up. If it's a well-intentioned lie told under duress, perhaps I can choose to forgive him. However, if he intended to deceive me from the beginning, then no matter what, I will never forgive him easily!"

When Tang Nian said these words, every word was firm and resounding, as if she had made a great decision.

However, she was so focused on expressing her opinion that she didn't realize that the moment she finished speaking, Shi Ye's originally calm face gradually turned as pale as paper.

He suppressed his inner turmoil and tried his best to keep his voice gentle, "Yes, I understand..."

Tang Nian found it a bit strange and looked at Shi Ye, asking, "Why are you suddenly asking this?" Then, she gave a mischievous grin and said, "What, did you lie to me about something?"

Shi Ye opened his mouth, but when he remembered Tang Nian's words, "I will never forgive him," he ultimately said nothing. Somewhat awkwardly, Shi Ye avoided Tang Nian's gaze and said, "There have been many things going on at home these past few days, so I can't be out for too long. I just came to see you for a moment to make sure you were alright. I'll be going now."

Before Tang Nian could react, Shi Ye lifted the carriage curtain, hurriedly greeted Dai Mubai and the others, and then disappeared in a flash.

Although Dai Mubai and his companions had greatly improved their strength compared to when they participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, they were still no match for a Title Douluo. Before anyone could even see Shi Ye's movements, he had already disappeared into the darkness.

The three were left bewildered in the wind.

The first to react was Ning Rongrong. She patted Zhu Zhuqing, the two exchanged a glance, and hurriedly ran into the carriage.

The two sat down on either side of Tang Nian, their big eyes fixed on her without blinking, their gazes full of curiosity and interest in gossip.

Faced with this situation, Tang Nian coughed lightly, turned her head away, and said somewhat awkwardly, "What are you two trying to do?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ning Rongrong asked with a curious look, "Niannian, who was that person just now? A titled Douluo, so young, I've never heard of him before. You two..." Ning Rongrong chuckled and looked at Tang Nian suspiciously.

Just then, Dai Mubai walked in and sat down opposite the three of them. He wasn't a gossipy person, but he looked at Tang Nian with curiosity.

Tang Nian knew they meant no harm, so she smiled helplessly and began to recount the story of Tang San's encounter with the Dragon King and the Snake Queen in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As soon as Tang Nian finished speaking, Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "Isn't this a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress? Wow, Nian Nian, you've kept this from us for so many years!"

Tang Nian smiled and said, "By the way, this part of my torso bone was also a gift from him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. They both knew how precious Tang Nian's golden dragon torso bone was, but precisely because of this, Ye was so generous as to give it away so easily. This person was clearly no ordinary person.

Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue and said, "That's strange. I've never heard of such a person among the seven major sects."
