The Silver Dragon King is Making a Move! Gu Yue: Who Can Laugh to the End? [Seeking Follow-up]

"Poor Xie Xie."

Lu Li looked at Xie Xie, who was lying motionless on the ground, and couldn't help but smile helplessly. His talent hadn't been fully utilized to begin with, and now he had suffered such an unprovoked disaster.

What a miserable guy.

Thinking this, he reached out and hoisted the other onto his back, heading back toward Donghai Academy.

"Teacher Lu Li, you're back... uh?"

"How come Xie Xie has passed out too?"

In Zhang Yangzi's dormitory, Wei Xiaofeng, who had come to join the fun, was also present. Seeing Xie Xie on Lu Li's back, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Old Xie, what happened to you?"

He couldn't help but ask in a daze. With one after another passing out, could it be that he was next?

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were both stunned, also realizing that things were not simple.

"I'm not entirely sure myself."

"Come on, Xiaofeng, give me a hand. Let's take them to the infirmary."

Lu Li shook his head and looked at Wei Xiaofeng, the most laid-back of the three, and spoke.

He believed that Tang Wulin was definitely safe, but the same couldn't be said for Xie Xie. For the sake of his safety, it was better to go to the infirmary for a quick check-up.

After all, whether it was the divine sense of Tang San or the methods of Di Tian, these were things no level 18 spirit master could withstand.

"You got it, Teacher Lu Li!"

Wei Xiaofeng rolled up his sleeves, hoisted Xie Xie onto his back, and headed toward the infirmary with Lu Li.

"..."

"Hmm? Why is it this child again?"

In the infirmary, Doctor Su Yuntao first glanced at Lu Li, but his gaze was instantly drawn to Tang Wulin.

"This time, another one has passed out. It seems the children these days really need better protection..."

He muttered to himself, and after performing check-up procedures on both children, he finally looked toward Lu Li:

"You must be Teacher Lu Li of the Zero Class. You are truly a man of talent. I am Su Yuntao; I have heard of your reputation for a long time."

"Hmm..."

Lu Li nodded slightly, but couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when he heard the other's name. He was very familiar with that name, too.

"Teacher Lu Li, what do you think is going on with Wulin and Xie Xie, fainting one after another..."

"Could I be next?"

Wei Xiaofeng, accompanying them on the side, acted timidly like a new recruit, speaking subconsciously.

"You certainly have a unique train of thought. Instead of worrying about that, you should focus on improving your cultivation."

Lu Li smiled helplessly. This kid wasn't even an important supporting character in the original work; he hadn't expected him to start worrying about the child of destiny now.

You kid, you'd better just focus on your cultivation.

"Where is this..."

Just then, a voice rang out.

Tang Wulin was groggily opening his eyes, his tone filled with confusion, and there was even a sense of weakness as if he had been overdrawn.

"Waking up so soon?"

Su Yuntao, standing to the side, said in surprise. He hadn't even figured out what was wrong before the boy woke up. This child...

Could he really be a genius?

"Teacher, Xiaofeng?"

"Why am I in the infirmary?"

Tang Wulin sat up instinctively, looking blankly at Lu Li and Wei Xiaofeng before him, falling silent.

What happened?

He remembered being outside with Xie Xie, going to an auction, and then encountering a man in black...

"Teacher Lu Li, what about Xie Xie?"

"Where is Xie Xie?!"

His eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but ask. The other had shielded him earlier; he must not be hurt!

"Wulin, Xie Xie is lying right next to you. You both fainted earlier, but your bodies are fine."

"Tell me, what happened to you two earlier?"

Lu Li pointed to the unconscious Xie Xie on the adjacent bed, signaling for him to be at ease while turning to ask.

"As long as Xie Xie is okay..."

"Big Brother Lu Li, it happened like this: we met a man in black outside. Xie Xie was knocked down by a single glance from him while trying to protect me, and I'm afraid the same happened to me."

"I don't know anything after that."

Tang Wulin shook his head, his expression bitter.

He didn't understand.

How did everything end up like this just from going out for a trip?

Ever since Old Tang appeared, nothing had gone smoothly for him. First he fainted, then he was in mortal danger, and now he had even been attacked...

That detestable Old Tang!

"What! Xie Xie was actually that brave!"

Hearing that Xie Xie had heroically stepped in to protect the person before him, Wei Xiaofeng felt a sense of respect. He was truly the brother he had acknowledged; although he was as weak as a novice, his courage was commendable!

However...

Why did he remember it as Xie Xie not being able to beat Wulin?

"You two were just unlucky, I suppose."

"A large-scale battle broke out in Eastsea City earlier, and I was busy with something at the time, so I couldn't get to the scene immediately."

"I didn't expect that you and Xie Xie would be the victims."

Lu Li wore a grave expression, but when his gaze swept over Xie Xie, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

This guy, he really lived up to being the best second male lead in the history of Douluo. His strength might be lacking, but...

He was truly loyal!

"Teacher Lu Li, is Xie Xie alright?"

"Doctor Su, can you help him wake up soon?"

Tang Wulin looked at Lu Li imploringly, then turned his gaze toward Su Yuntao. His friend had fainted while trying to protect him, so he must be alright.

"Don't be afraid, little brother. Since you've woken up, this kid is probably fine too. After all, you two are equally unlucky."

"Uh, I mean unfortunate... anyway, in short, you two are about the same, he'll definitely be fine."

Su Yuntao's language system glitched for a moment, and he quickly corrected himself.

"That's great then."

Although Tang Wulin's face darkened, he silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as he was fine, that was all that mattered.

Only Lu Li, standing to the side, smiled helplessly as he looked at the poor wretch Xie Xie on the bed and shook his head.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were not the same at all.

"..."

Fortunately, not long after, Xie Xie slowly regained consciousness, opening his eyes in the same dazed manner as Tang Wulin.

And the first words out of his mouth were also about Tang Wulin:

"Tang Wulin! Are you alright..."

Xie Xie sat up in a near-instant burst of excitement, and only after seeing Tang Wulin safe and sound beside him did he let out a sigh of relief.

But soon, when his gaze swept over Lu Li and Wei Xiaofeng nearby, a look of confusion immediately appeared on his face.

"Teacher Lu Li, Xiaofeng, um..."

"Where are we?"

"..."

"Xie Xie, I admit you're more handsome than me."

"To be glared into a faint by a mysterious man in black just to protect your companion, Haji Xie, you really are something!"

Afterward, on the way back, Wei Xiaofeng couldn't help but give Xie Xie a thumbs-up and said sincerely.

"Xie Xie, thank you."

Tang Wulin also smiled with gratitude and said gently.

"You are my friend."

"Protecting you is what I should do."

Xie Xie smiled, acting like a total bro, though the tsundere look on his face couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"Then thank you."

"My friend."

Tang Wulin said with a beaming smile.

"What about me!"

"I'm your friend too, you know. Xie Xie, I look forward to the day you protect me; just don't make it too late."

Wei Xiaofeng also spoke up happily, his tone earnest.

"You?"

Xie Xie let out a cold snort. The memory of the other party telling him to "practice more if you're trash" flashed through his mind, and he immediately sneered:

"In your dreams!"

"Xie Xie, I've realized you're just asking for a beating."

Wei Xiaofeng's expression turned fierce; it seemed the other party truly didn't understand how formidable he was!

"Heh! Moron."

Xie Xie gave a cold laugh and didn't spare him another glance.

"..."

Watching the little ones getting along so harmoniously, Lu Li, who was accompanying them, smiled. They were truly interesting little fellows.

It was just a pity...

Lu Li's gaze swept over Tang Wulin's position; because of Tang San's divine sense, he still had to be extra cautious.

"I only hope that the incredibly wise Gu Yue can exhaust as many of Tang San's opportunities to intervene as possible."

Lu Li soon parted ways with the little ones. Taking one last look at the dormitory building, the image of Gu Yue flashed through his mind, and he shook his head with a smile.

Hopefully...

She would truly be as wise as expected!

"..."

Meanwhile.

In a private dormitory at Donghai Academy, Di Tian, having completed his probe, was kneeling respectfully on the ground, looking at Gu Yue before him with a face full of loyalty.

"My Lord, I have fulfilled my mission! Just as you expected, that Tang Wulin is indeed the son of the Sea God, Tang San!"

"There is a contingency left by the Sea God on this child."

Di Tian said respectfully.

"Mm, just as I thought."

There was not much surprise on Gu Yue's face.

In fact, back when that aura erupted in Eastsea City, she had already sensed that distinct oceanic presence.

Tang San...

Just like when your divine sense descended ten thousand years ago, even today, ten thousand years later, do you still view the Douluo Continent as your own backyard?

"My Lord, since Tang San has left a contingency on him, should I keep a low profile from now on?"

"With my current strength, I am no match for him."

Di Tian's face was filled with embarrassment and self-reproach as he sighed.

If only he were stronger, he could better serve his Lord and contribute to the revival of the Dragon Clan.

It was he who had failed his Lord.

"A god is a god after all, Di Tian. It is normal that you cannot defeat him, and the results of this probe are good."

"Keeping a low profile is for the best; your idea is sound."

Gu Yue looked at him and said calmly.

"But..."

"I do not believe his power is infinite."

A glint of wisdom flashed in her eyes as she sneered.

"You mean..."

Di Tian was naturally not stupid, and at that moment, he immediately understood her meaning.

"Correct. Back when the God Realm still existed, Tang San had to be secretive even when descending to the lower realms, and the power he could unleash was limited."

"In this era where the God Realm has vanished, how much power can he really channel into his child?"

"I am seventy percent certain."

"The number of times he can intervene must be limited!"

Gu Yue murmured, her face filled with the certainty of victory.

"So, Di Tian."

"Find a suitable opportunity and strike at him once more."

"I believe..."

"The result will not disappoint me."

Gu Yue's expression was calm as she spoke indifferently.

"My Lord is truly wise!"

"Your subordinate will strictly follow your decree!"

Di Tian responded respectfully, his figure vanishing in a flash, leaving only the young girl sitting on the bed with a smile.

Her eyes held an unconcealable depth as she looked through the window toward the spot where the other party had fought Di Tian, a flash of infinite killing intent crossing her gaze:

"Tang San."

"Let us see who will have the last laugh."
