All Sincerity

·························

Having been away from Suotuo City for some time, Ning Rongrong was still getting used to her new teacher.

The new teacher is far less knowledgeable than Teacher Qin Ming, but is still very safe and reliable.

Without Qin Ming, the speed of the Heaven Dou First Team slowed down. The new instructor was unfamiliar with the route and was checking the map to replan a safe route.

Furthermore, the new teacher was not familiar with the strength and fighting style of the Heaven Dou First Team, and had been trying to understand the team during this period.

The new teacher didn't dare to take Li Bai's wine gourd to help Li Bai quit drinking, and he became timid and hesitant in his actions.

"Actually, it's not that I'm unwilling to give Teacher Qin Ming face or show leniency to the Shrek Academy. What I care about is Teacher Qin Ming's attitude." Yufeng sat by the car window, somewhat worried.

Can't we inflict any casualties on the Shrek Team?

That sounds far too harsh and too absolute.

The jarring sound made them realize that the Shrek Team held a special place in Teacher Qin Ming's heart, even more so than they, the students.

"Stop thinking about him, Yufeng. You should think about the Star Luo Empire's competition instead!"

"The people over there are fierce and tough; there must be a team trying to kill us." Xiao Qiao tapped on Qin Ming's team members, who were thinking about him again.

She wasn't wrong; the Star Luo Empire truly valued strength, and the Soul Fighting was prevalent.

Faced with the challenge from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Star Luo Empire naturally wanted to defeat them halfway through, demonstrating the power of the Star Luo Empire.

Qin Ming's original plan for the Soul Fighting was to head straight to Star Luo City for the competition as soon as he entered the Star Luo Empire, to avoid any sabotage along the way!

····························

Kai had previously participated in the Soul Fighting Competition across the continent, and naturally he had also visited Star Luo Empire, but he left after a short stay.

Star Luo Empire reveres strength above all else; whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Kai's performance in the Soul Fighting Arena has attracted many people to extend offers to him, wanting to recruit this genius.

Methods of recruitment included offering money, adopting someone as a godson, and even marrying off one's daughter.

Among them were those who attempted to force a sale.

Before things escalated, Kai quietly left the Star Luo Empire.

On the main street of Star Luo City, the members of Heaven Dou First Team and Second had already been approached by several groups of people trying to pick them up.

"Alright, stop playing around. Put away your Soul Fighting Badges and let's find a hotel to stay in." Li Bai, walking in the middle of the group, received the most flirtations. Looking at his teammates who were having so much fun, he said seriously.

Ning Rongrong stood beside Li Bai, warily watching the women around them who were flirting with her Li Bai brother.

"Is this how it is here in the Star Luo Empire? Aren't they ashamed!" Ning Rongrong muttered through gritted teeth.

After speaking, she glanced back at the young man beside her, who was riding a sword, his silver hair flowing, his demeanor ethereal and otherworldly, exuding an air of unrestrained drinking.

It seems only natural that such a young man is adored.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it was a public place, Li Bai would be surrounded by people, and Li Bai himself would still be wearing the team uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with a Soul Emperor-level instructor protecting him.

I'm afraid Li Bai has already been abducted by those powerful women.

Countless eyes were secretly watching this silver-haired swordsman.

Both in appearance and Martial Soul, Li Bai is top-tier!

In the darkness, someone sighed with regret, lamenting that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had pre-booked it.

Sword Douluo might be watching from nearby right now!

After much deliberation, the restless claws retracted.

From the window on the second floor of the restaurant next to the street, one could clearly see Heaven Dou Empire and his group passing by below.

Inside a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a girl dressed in a black leather jacket, with a cold and mature demeanor and an appearance somewhat similar to Zhu Zhuqing, and a blonde girl with heterochromatic eyes and a noble air, looked down at the silver-haired sword immortal who was casually flying by on his sword, their eyes flashing with amazement.

The two are Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Yue'er.

Dai Yue'er is a princess of the royal family, a full sister of the eldest prince, Dai Weisi, but her talent is not very good.

"I want him!" Dai Yue'er's eyes were filled with determination.

"... Then I wish the princess all her wishes come true!" Zhu Zhuyun ultimately chose to offer her flattery and blessings to the royal princess.

However, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. This Princess Dai Yue'er had previously pursued and won over the young genius Dongfang Yao at Dai Weisi's suggestion.

She finally managed to get to know Dongfang Yao, and then she changed her mind after just one meeting? Isn't she afraid Dai Weisi will cause her trouble?

And if I'm not mistaken, this should be the team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that came to challenge us.

How could the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team be with the princess of the Star Luo Empire?

·····························

Dai Yue'er initially pursued Dongfang Yao Dongfang Yao solely because of his impressive abilities and fairly handsome appearance.

Now that he has met the more outstanding Li Bai, he naturally wants to give up Dongfang Yao and pursue Li Bai instead.

Suddenly, a clear and lively boy's voice rang out from the crowd.

"Idol, wait for me! Idol!!"

Li Bai, who had been so carefree and unrestrained, suddenly changed his expression. That familiar voice!

His body moved faster than his brain; Li Bai instinctively accelerated on his sword, soaring into the sky.

Then, a figure also flew beside him on a sword.

Unlike Li Bai's ethereal and otherworldly swordsman attire.

Dongfang Yao was noticeably more unassuming, with a simple silver cloak and Star Team uniform, looking clean and neat.

However, it differs from Li Bai's straightforward and flowing swordplay.

Dongfang Yao's flight path was always winding and circuitous, circling around Li Bai. Although he was left behind by Li Bai, he always followed closely.

"Sword Immortal! It really is the living Sword Immortal!! Look at this sword, I've polished it three times! The way you walk with the wind is just as handsome as in the legends! Every day before practicing my sword, I bow three times to your portrait—oh right, right! The seventh move of my self-created ' Star Swordsmanship ' is based on your Dongfang Yao Green Lotus Sword Song! Although I only imitated 0.1% of the elegance, my coach said I'm improving incredibly fast! Could you sign your name for me? On the scabbard! Or on my clothes! Or even on my forehead!!" Dongfang Yao's loud voice echoed in Li Bai's ears.

A flash of starlight appeared, Dongfang Yao appeared to Li Bai's left, then flashed again to Li Bai's right.

"Wait, don't sign yet! Do you think there's room for improvement in the displacement angle of my second skill, ' Pursue Stars '? Last time I used this move to tower dive, I was always 0.5 seconds short of the cooldown... Hey, don't go! I still have the gourd wine you endorse in my inventory! -- Wow! The Sword Immortal used ' Bring in the Wine ' to teleport away! Even his departure was so dashing!!"

Looking at Li Bai's graceful figure, Dongfang Yao filled with fervent admiration.

"This must be the legendary 'masterful style,' I have to write it down! 'The first secret to successfully chasing your idol: let your idol run 39 meters first'..."

"Idol, idol, look at me!..."

Above Star Luo City, two figures could be seen flying on swords, one chasing and the other fleeing!

Suddenly, the white and red figures in front disappeared.

In an alley, Li Bai, who had quietly reset his skill, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If he had known that Dongfang Yao was such a crazy fan in the Star Luo Empire, he would never have come here even if you killed him.

Li Bai still remembers that he had only drunk a pot of wine handed to him by Dongfang Yao, and when he woke up again, he was in Dongfang Yao's house. The key thing was that Dongfang Yao's house was covered with posters and photos of Li Bai. Even the free-spirited Li Bai did not want to recall that feeling of horror.

"We need to find a way to hide!" Li Bai sighed.

"Why are you hiding, idol! By the way, idol, what color burlap sack do you like?" A clear and lively boyish voice rang out as Dongfang Yao held a yellow burlap sack in one hand and a blue burlap sack in the other.

Dongfang Yao's ultimate skill Return to Dust, has a similar effect to Li Bai's first skill, returning him to his previous location.

Upon discovering that Li Bai was missing, Dongfang Yao immediately used his ultimate skill to return, and then, relying on the keen sense of a fan for their idol, he found Li Bai.

"Sigh! My idol?" In the blink of Dongfang Yao, Li Bai's figure disappeared again.

·····························

By the time the members of Heaven Dou First Team and Team Two found Li Bai, Li Bai had already given up resisting.

He sat there numbly, not even drinking any wine, letting Dongfang Yao chatter in his ear.

"Brother Li Bai!" Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward. Looking at Li Bai's expression, she thought Li Bai had been injured. She then looked warily at the seemingly lively, sunny, and talkative Dongfang Yao. "Who are you? Why were you chasing Brother Li Bai just now!"

Although the teacher of the Heaven Dou First Team was a Soul Emperor, he did not have a flying Soul Skill. He wanted to help Li Bai, but after chasing for a long time, he was outmaneuvered by the two and couldn't even see their shadows anymore. So he had no choice but to bring his students to the hotel they had agreed to meet in advance.

Meanwhile, Sword Douluo, hiding in the shadows, found his disheveled disciple both amusing and somewhat puzzled.

Li Bai grew up in the Heaven Dou Empire, right under his nose, so how did he get to know this young man?

Chapter 171 is all sincerity

Just as the members of the Heaven Dou First Team were watching Dongfang Yao warily, a hand grabbed the back of Dongfang Yao's collar and pulled Dongfang Yao back from his struggles.

They immediately distanced themselves from the members of Heaven Dou First Team.

"Idol, idol! Sigh!" Realizing he could no longer get close to Li Bai, and feeling the familiar tugging at the back of his collar, Dongfang Yao turned around pitifully.

Then they saw Baili Shouyue, with long silver-gray hair, animal ears on his head, and a gentle smile on his face.

Although Baili Shouyue's smile was gentle, it inexplicably gave people a sense of vicissitude and exhaustion.

With precise aim, he caught the hyperactive Dongfang Yao, lifted his fingers slightly, and used his height advantage to make Dongfang Yao's toes touch the ground.

Despite struggling to break free, Dongfang Yao's eyes remained bright as he gazed at his idol across from him.

"I'm sorry, my friend had heard of the Drunken Sword Immortal of Heaven Dou City before and has always admired him. He lost his composure upon meeting him this time." Baili Shouyue skillfully apologized and explained for Dongfang Yao, with a perfectly timed smile that wouldn't offend anyone.

"... Then you better keep an eye on him. If he dares to lay a hand on my brother Li Bai again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Ning Rongrong was not swayed by Baili Shouyue's good looks and stood protectively in front of Li Bai with her hands on her hips.

Under normal circumstances, Li Bai would be protecting Ning Rongrong, but since this was Dongfang Yao, a persistent and crazed fan, Li Bai obediently hid behind Ning Rongrong.

"Of course, I'll keep an eye on him." Baili Shouyue said this with a hint of weariness in his voice.

He didn't care about his bloodthirsty, crazy younger brother Baili Xuance, nor did he care about Dongfang Yao Yaolei.

Baili Shouyue simply couldn't understand why someone could be so... "lively"?!?

As if he never gets tired, Dongfang Yao is almost always energetic, confident, cheerful, and talkative.

Especially now, having met his idol Li Bai, Dongfang Yao's mouth barely stopped. Even with Baili Shouyue holding him by the back of his collar, restricting his movement, he still chattered incessantly, excitedly waving and shouting at Li Bai not far away, "Senior Li Bai! Watch my move 'Aspiring to the Heavens to Grasp the Bright Moon'! Although I'm being held back now... my swordsmanship is definitely not inferior to yours!"

"Hmph, how could a mere collar restraint contain the power of stars? Senior Li Bai, once I break free, I will definitely have a match with you!"

The veins on Baili Shouyue's forehead bulged, and he suddenly understood why Dongfang Jing liked to beat his younger brother.

If we don't beat up a brat like Dongfang Yao, he'll really fly to the sky.
