Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 268 Another one

After seeing Meng Hongchen off, Deng Mu closed the door and planned to take another nap in bed.

"Knock knock knock..."

"That's strange, why are they coming one after another?"

Deng Mu, who was just about to go to bed, stopped when he heard a knock on the door.

He found it strange that everyone was coming to see him at this hour; didn't they want to rest for a while?

Thinking of this, Deng Mu walked to the door, opened it, and saw Zhu Lu standing at the door.

Upon seeing that it was Zhu Lu, Deng Mu was even more surprised, never expecting that Zhu Lu would come to find him at this time.

"Please come in."

"Um."

Zhu Lu entered the room and sat down on a chair.

Deng Mu closed the door, sat down next to Zhu Lu, and poured her a glass of water.

Seeing Deng Mu pouring water for her, Zhu Lu thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Deng Mu. If you hadn't given me that immortal herb, I wouldn't be who I am today."

After consuming the immortal herb, her level increased rapidly. After entering the inner academy, she was selected to participate in the Continental Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Competition.

More importantly, the family originally intended to punish her, but seeing her current potential, they began to nurture her.

The clan leader also spoke with her once, saying that as long as she didn't kill or instigate the murder, the clan would protect her.

She was very happy, but still said she didn't know, and she wasn't sure what would happen if she said it.

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu waved his hand and said, "The main reason is still your own hard work. If you don't work hard, you won't get much improvement after consuming that immortal herb."

He didn't really care about Zhu Lu's gratitude; he just considered it as an investment in Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu shook her head and said, "I know my situation very well. No matter what, the main credit is yours."

Seeing Huo Yutong's current achievements, she knew very well that if Dai Huabin hadn't died back then, and Huo Yutong had found out about this matter, Dai Huabin would definitely be dead.

Anyone would seek revenge if they were assassinated; only someone mentally unstable would give up revenge and reconcile with the perpetrator.

Seeing Zhu Lu's expression, Deng Mu smiled but didn't say anything more.

He was quite curious about the situation at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, wondering if the lady was still looking for the murderer who killed her son.

It doesn't matter whether the other party finds out or not. Huo Yutong will repay the Duchess of Baihu well.

Huo Yutong probably wouldn't believe Dai Hao's nonsense about Huo Yuan'er being his true love.

Looking at Deng Mu in front of her, Zhu Lu couldn't help but sigh. She now thought Deng Mu was quite good.

Unfortunately, it's impossible for the two of them to be together, and their being together would arouse suspicion in the Duke's mansion.

She knew that although her family protected her, the people in the Duke's mansion still suspected her, suspecting that she was involved in the killing of Dai Huabin.

Another reason is that she feels unworthy of Deng Mu.

Zhu Lu got up and went to Deng Mu, and began to take off her clothes.

Seeing this, Deng Mu was somewhat surprised: "What's wrong with you...?"

He never expected that Zhu Lu would choose this path.

"I've thought and thought, and I can't think of any other way to repay you besides this."

……

"Hmm? Where's Deng Mu? Why didn't he come?"

Seeing that Deng Mu hadn't come, Wang Dong'er asked Huo Yutong with some confusion.

She remembered that Deng Mu was usually on time or early, but the first time she met him, he was late.

Jiang Nannan, who was standing nearby, said, "Xiao Mu, he has other things to do this afternoon, so he won't be watching the game."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yutong and Wang Dong'er looked at each other with some confusion, wondering what Deng Mu wanted to do.

Seeing this, Beibei said, "If Deng Mu is busy right now, let's go watch the game now, learn more about the other teams, and tell Deng Mu when we get back."

The others nodded in agreement and set off together to watch the game.

On their way to the competition venue, Wang Dong'er and Huo Yutong were still wondering where Deng Mu had gone.

They had a vague feeling that Deng Mu was still in the room.

A few days later, the first round of the competition ended, and half of the 167 participating teams were eliminated.

Many participating teams have had their rooms upgraded by one floor, which has made many teams very satisfied.

The knockout stage has entered its second round. After the first round of knockout matches concluded today, the draw for the second round will begin.

The latest novel is first published here!

To Deng Mu's surprise, the opposing team was from the Earth Dragon Gate.

He couldn't help but marvel at how coincidental it was; he received a bye in the first round, but in the second round he was still facing this same sect.

In the novel, Huo Yutong got Nan Qiuqiu to join the Tang Sect. As for that operation, he couldn't quite learn it, and there was no need for him to learn it.

Whether Nan Qiuqiu joins the Tang Sect or not makes no difference to him.

"We're playing the second match tomorrow. Are you all nervous?" Deng Mu asked Huo Yutong and the others.

Tomorrow's first match is against Shrek Academy, which surprised him. He didn't expect that Shrek Academy would be the first match twice.

Huo Yutong shook her head slightly, a confident smile on her face: "I'm not nervous, but the Earth Dragon Gate is no pushover either, so we still can't let our guard down."

They had watched all the matches over the past few days and were well aware of the teams' strengths.

They have an advantage: their opponents are unaware of their situation, and they can use this advantage to win quickly.

That Nan Qiuqiu's name left a deep impression on her; she was a rather troublesome opponent. If she were to face her, winning would be crucial.

Wang Dong'er nodded in agreement: "That's right. Although we are not weak, we have to go all out in every game. We can't afford to be upset by a slip-up."

Jiang Nannan stretched and said, "Anyway, I'm all ready. I'm just waiting to show my skills on the field. Deng Mu, what are your plans?"

Deng Mu thought for a moment and then explained his plan: they didn't need to play in the team competition; he could carry the team by himself.

After the arrangements were explained for a while, the meeting ended and everyone went their separate ways.

Huo Yutong gently knocked on Deng Mu's door, and after hearing "Come in" from inside, she slowly pushed the door open and entered.

Deng Mu was standing by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, as if deep in thought.

"Brother Mu," Huo Yutong called softly.

Deng Mu snapped out of his reverie, turned to look at Huo Yutong, and said, "Yutong, you're here. Is it about tomorrow's match?"

Huo Yutong shook her head and said, "No, I consulted with the Snow Empress before and created three moves myself."

Upon learning that Huo Yutong had created three moves, Deng Mu couldn't help but wonder what those moves were.

Deng Mu inquired of the Snow Empress within the Sea of ​​Spirit: "Sister Xue, what did you teach Yu Tong?"

Xue Di covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "It's nothing. Yu Tong is a very talented child. She created three extremely powerful moves. If you just say these three moves, she can kill you instantly."

It's quite powerful, but the name is a bit too much.
