Upon hearing the news that Ning Rongrong was at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Su Zui's eyes were clearly somewhat dazed.
My own little Rongrong.
Unexpectedly, the first thing I heard after waking up was news about Rongrong.
Seeing Su Zui's dazed appearance, Dugu Yan felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.
It seems the rumors were true; this Su Zui really is the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But why do I feel a little uncomfortable?
Despite their close relationship, everyone around them thought that Tian Heng and she would definitely become a couple.
But why do I feel a flutter in my heart when I'm with Su Zui?
Despite the bitterness in her heart, Dugu Yan persuaded, "It's Su Zui we should go. We're heading back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy anyway, why don't you come with us? Your current status is rather special; the entire continent is searching for you, and there's bound to be some danger. It's too risky for you to be out there alone."
Dugu Yan added earnestly, "Besides, it's said that Tang Hao hasn't been found yet, and he might be hiding in one of those corners. If you come back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with us, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
Yu Tianheng also chimed in, "Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy is backed by the royal family, with three education committee members overseeing it. Yan Yan's grandfather Senior Dugu, also visits the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from time to time."
Shi Mo, standing to the side, nodded earnestly in agreement. "Yes, Brother Su, it's safer with more people around. You saved us, so it's only right that we take you back to the academy."
After drinking his hangover, Qin Ming was lying on the ground, had recovered from most of his injuries.
Although his face was still pale, he forced himself to sit up.
"Young Master Su, I also suggest you come back to the Heaven Dou Academy with us to avoid trouble. And I have another piece of information for you: besides Rongrong, Teacher Zhao and Dean Flender are also at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now."
Qin Ming already knew that Su Zui was his junior, and Qin Ming liked this junior quite a bit.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, Miss Ning has been inquiring about you every day for the past three months. She would be very happy if you went back."
Su Zui nodded, feeling a little guilty.
He nodded slightly. "Then I'll trouble you all. I'll go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with you."
Everyone was delighted to hear Su Zui's words.
On Su Zui's shoulder, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm swung its short legs, its lips pressed against Su Zui's ear.
"Xiao Zui, these people are actually quite nice. Besides, we really need to follow them. After all, we still need to figure out why fate has turned its attention to this little green-haired girl?"
For some reason, after the Heavenly Eye guided Su Zui here, it never provided any further information.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt it was time to take the initiative.
"Xiao Zui, since the Heavenly Eye isn't giving you any information, then you should create an opportunity yourself. I just used my Spiritual Power to probe the green-haired girl's body and found that she's seriously poisoned! Perhaps this is a breakthrough."
Su Zui was somewhat surprised and asked with his divine sense, "Tian Meng, are you sure that little girl is poisoned?"
Tian Meng nodded confidently.
"Xiao Zui, don't you even know who I am? An unprecedented million-year-old spiritual Soul Beast. With my Spiritual Power, I can clearly see every meridian in her body and the flow of every strand of Soul Power."
"This young girl is already terminally ill, because the poison has completely penetrated her Soul Power, meridians, and flesh."
"As long as she uses her Soul Power, this poison will spread throughout her limbs and bones along with the circulation of her Soul Power."
"So, she's a ticking time bomb right now. Once the toxins in her body reach a critical level, she'll explode!"
Upon hearing this news, a hint of reluctance flashed in Su Zui's eyes.
He now considers Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and others as friends. Upon hearing of Dugu Yan's tragic end, Su Zui felt a lump in his throat.
"Tian Meng, do you have any ideas? Is there any way to save her?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook its head.
"Being able to identify a problem doesn't necessarily mean you can solve it. I'm just a Soul Beast, not a doctor. How would I know how to solve it?"
Sensing that Su Zui's emotions were somewhat off, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reminded her, "Just because I have no way doesn't mean you have no way. Don't you have the Heavenly Eye Martial Soul?"
"Heavenly Eye?"
"That's right, it's the Heavenly Eye. Have you forgotten your Heavenly Fate Prediction Soul Skill? Just activate this skill on Dugu Yan, then clear your mind of all distractions and focus on finding a way to interpret it. Destiny will guide you."
It was rare for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to be serious, and what she said was quite reasonable and well-founded.
Su Zui nodded firmly.
"Alright, once I return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I will go find Dugu Yan alone and I will definitely heal her."
The group from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy packed their belongings, but instead of returning directly to the academy, they headed straight in the direction they had fled.
Seemingly sensing the sorrow in Yu Tianheng and the others' hearts, Su Zui didn't ask them anything, but simply stood silently to the side.
Seeing the trail of blood spreading ahead, Yu Tianheng's voice trembled with a hint of tears.
"Before, when we were being chased by the Earth Dragon, Mr. Maisi stayed in this forest forever to buy us time."
"He spent his entire life at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He was not only our teacher but also our senior. He gave his life to show us how to survive. He shouldn't be left to die alone in the wilderness."
At this point, Yu Tianheng's eyes reddened. "Like fallen leaves returning to their roots, we must bring his remains back."
Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, the atmosphere in the group became extremely heavy, and everyone felt a profound sense of unease.
Dugu Yan's tears fell uncontrollably to the ground, and she nodded in a hoarse voice.
"That's right, we can't leave the teacher outside. We need to take her home, and bring Ms. Maisi home with us."
Qin Ming stood up from the ground, his gaze lingering on each student, then his eyes filled with determination.
"Imperial Fighting Team, Coach Maisi sacrificed himself to protect us. We owe him; he is our savior!"
"Let's go together, find him, and bring his body back!"
Su Zui stood silently to the side, a sense of respect rising in his heart.
He had no connection with this teacher, Maisi, whom he had never met, but his spirit was commendable.
Human beings are inherently afraid of death and cling to life, but there are always some things that are more important than life and death.
Those who are teachers sacrifice themselves for their beliefs.
This spirit deserves everyone's respect.
Su Zui couldn't help but think of Zhao Wuji.
Teacher Zhao and Teacher Maisi, they're all real men! The real men of the Douluo Continent!
