Gu Qingbo: "Huh, Ye Lingling Is Pretty?"

"Miss, this is the latest newspaper we brought back."

Holding the newspaper, Gu Qingbo asked the Gu Family disciple who had delivered it. He immediately replied, "It's the newest one."

"I see!"

Gu Qingbo nodded and sat down to read the newspaper. As she looked over the text, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Heaven Dou Royal Academy will soon visit Heavenly Water Academy. Led by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, stay tuned for the might of this year's Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

What caught her attention, however, was not the text, but the lineup listed above it!

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Captain Yu Tianheng, vice-captain Dugu Yan... Huh, Ye Lingling is pretty cute. Hahaha, I've got two spots secured!"

As First Family Head Gu Qingxue and Second Family Head Gu Qingmo passed by, they heard Gu Qingbo's foolish laughter and exchanged glances. "..."

"Big Sister, do you think this child has gone stupid?"

Gu Qingmo could not help saying, "Should we teach her a lesson?"

Gu Qingxue merely glanced at her without a word, then turned and left, clearly uninterested.

Gu Qingmo: "..."

"Sigh!"

Gu Qingmo sighed and silently walked toward Gu Qingbo's residence, closing the door behind her...

"Waaah! Second Aunt, don't, don't hit me! I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"A girl laughing so wickedly? I see you really need a beating every three days, or you'll tear the roof tiles off!"

"Wuwuwu, I didn't mean to..."

"What!? You did mean to!?"

Gu Qingmo: "..."

Wuwuwu, this is too hard for me!

For the next two days, Gu Qingbo claimed sick leave and did not participate in the Training Team. Fortunately, given the Gu Family's standing at Heavenly Water Academy, no one said anything. At worst, once the Training Team members had been selected, Gu Qingbo could join the elimination matches.

Likewise.

No one raised any objections to Xue Wu receiving special permission from Chen Yue.

Chen Yue, on the other hand, felt somewhat puzzled. Gu Qingbo, who had come every day to tease him in all sorts of ways, had not appeared. He was still rather unaccustomed to it.

But honestly.

That girl's little head really did feel nice to pat. He wondered if it was because her hair was especially soft?

Hmm, if she dyed it white, it would be even harder to resist!

Thinking this, Chen Yue greeted Ning Hongye as she approached. "Miss Ning, good morning!"

He still had a few minutes before class, and it was the same session as usual.

Over the past two days, with Chen Yue's encouragement, Xue Wu had finally started spending those gold soul coins on supplements. Her complexion had recovered somewhat, and she was no longer as frail as before.

Because of that, Chen Yue postponed the trial he had prepared by several days.

There was no helping it!

Xue Wu would be drenched in fragrant sweat after taking just two steps.

In her condition, Chen Yue feared that she might get into trouble the moment she hit the waterfall.

"Looks like I'll have to get into the water and keep an eye on her then. If she falls, I'll need to catch her!"

In his previous life, Chen Yue would naturally never have thought of using a waterfall's impact for training. But this was Douluo Continent. With Soul Power in their bodies, there was no real danger to her life or the baby in her belly. At most, she might fall or get injured, which would only make Chen Yue worry.

And these past few days.

Ning Hongye had brought the delicate little Ning Shuangshuang along every day to chat with him, and they had become fairly familiar.

There was even a moment when Chen Yue began to suspect that something about Ning Shuangshuang's gaze was not quite right...
