Before Su Ye even reached his destination, he saw two women approaching him.
Ye Lingling spotted him first and gave a slight nod in greeting, then poked Dugu Yan beside her.
Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised, but she soon greeted Su Ye as well.
Su Ye stepped forward with a smile and exchanged pleasantries with the two women. After chatting for a few moments, the three headed toward the academy cafeteria together.
Handsome, beautiful, and powerful, they drew countless gazes along the way.
None of the three paid any attention to the looks from others, continuing their conversation as they pleased.
Su Ye had already known Douluo Continent extremely well. After cultivating the Void Sutra, his perspective had been elevated by several more dimensions.
A few casual pointers from him were enough to leave the two women utterly astonished.
In particular, his view that support-system Soul Masters could possess combat strength made Ye Lingling glance at him repeatedly.
As they talked, Dugu Yan completely forgot to probe Su Ye about why he was looking for her grandfather, instead constantly asking questions about cultivation.
[Netizens in my previous life all said that Zhu Zhuqing, that Little Kitty, worked hard at cultivation. Looking at it now, this little poisonous girl Dugu Yan is no less diligent!]
The sudden Diary update made beautiful women all over the continent set aside what they were doing and check it at once.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan being praised, quite a few people immediately became unconvinced.
Was hard work even worth praising? I work hard too, okay?
(Xiao Wu/Ning Rongrong: Didn't dare speak. Absolutely didn't dare speak.)
A trace of joy rose in Dugu Yan's heart. Just as she was about to suppress the upward curve of her lips, the Diary updated again.
[It's just a pity. Whether it's Zhu Zhuqing or Dugu Yan, the talent of those two...]
[In the eyes of ordinary people, they may be geniuses with hopes of becoming Soul Douluos in the future, but that's all.]
[And neither of them is in a good situation. Whether they can even live to see that day is a question.]
Seeing the update, Zhu Zhuqing, who had only just escaped Star Luo City, froze instinctively, her heart filled with desolation.
Yes, what use was hard work?
As an abandoned child, her best possible outcome was merely...
At the same time, Dugu Yan's hands and feet went cold. If anyone else had said this, she would have snapped back without hesitation and beaten them senseless.
Couldn't he speak properly? You're the one who won't live to see that day!
But the one saying it was Su Ye, a transmigrator who knew Douluo Continent's past and future.
After the Diary updates over the past two days, many quick-witted people had actually already guessed certain things.
To Su Ye, Douluo Continent might be nothing more than a storybook.
And people like them might merely be characters who received a few lines from the author's pen.
Xiao Wu and the like might not have noticed this, but sharp-minded Ye Lingling had seen through it. She had even discussed it with her close friend Dugu Yan the night before.
That was why Dugu Yan believed Su Ye's words without question.
Su Ye pretended not to notice her loss of composure and continued updating the Diary.
[Zhu Zhuqing's situation is still manageable. As long as she doesn't dream of becoming an empress, she can just hide in some remote corner and live out the rest of her life in peace.]
[But Dugu Yan...]
[Martial Soul poison isn't something that can be cured just because one says so. Even her grandfather Dugu Bo can't do it. Whether he can hold on for a few more years is uncertain.]
Dugu Yan's delicate body went limp, and she nearly lost her footing. Fortunately, Ye Lingling was quick enough to catch her, preventing her from making a scene.
It had been fine when she had not thought deeply about it before, but now that she considered it, her grandfather truly had many strange habits.
Especially the way he sometimes looked at her, as though he were...
Pain stabbed through Dugu Yan's heart, and her eyes began to glisten with tears.
She was not only worried about herself. The thought that her beloved grandfather might soon leave her made her hurt so badly she could barely breathe.
Ye Lingling gently patted her close friend's back, while casting a baffled, suspicious glance at Su Ye, who looked as though nothing had happened.
[Dugu Bo's temperament in the original work was fairly decent. If possible, I wouldn't mind lending him a hand.]
[A mere case of Martial Soul poison would be as easy as turning my hand over for me.]
[I originally thought I'd ask Dugu Yan about his whereabouts, then visit him and have a talk. But after thinking it over, forget it. With that guy's personality, what if he just kills me outright?]
[I'd be rushing over to help out of kindness, yet I'd still have to take such a huge risk?]
[Is my saintly compassion getting a little too out of hand? I can't do this sort of thing.]
Su Ye slyly changed his original purpose of asking for Dugu Bo's whereabouts before stealing immortal herbs into a benevolent plan to visit and treat him.
There was a slight disconnect before and after, but fortunately, Dugu Yan did not notice.
At that moment, she looked at Su Ye through tear-filled eyes as if she had seen a savior, her gaze full of excitement and pleading.
Seeing such a beautiful woman like this even softened Su Ye's heart somewhat. In the end, however, he still pretended not to see it, staring ahead while chatting intermittently with the two women.
But how could Dugu Yan still be in the mood to discuss cultivation? After barely steadying her emotions, she pulled Ye Lingling away in a hurry.
"I suddenly remembered that Lingling and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Su Ye."
"Is that so? All right, then go quickly. Bye-bye."
Watching the two women leave, Su Ye turned and headed toward the cafeteria with light steps.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be heading to the Mandarin Duck Pot.
Immortal herbs, this young master is coming!
While Su Ye happily enjoyed a luxurious breakfast, the women who had seen the Diary could not calm their minds.
Among them, Ning Rongrong was the most excited. If Su Ye could even solve a congenital defect like Martial Soul poison, then wouldn't that mean...
Others might simply marvel at Su Ye's extraordinary methods, but she was different.
Although her Martial Soul defect did not threaten her life like Dugu Yan's, it was still incredibly infuriating. No matter how high her talent was, she could only remain at level seventy-nine for the rest of her life, unable to break through to Soul Douluo.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, huh..."
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shifted back and forth. She had already intended to meet Su Ye, the owner of the Diary, but that desire had now become even stronger.
As for Shrek?
What Shrek?
Never mind that Su Ye might have a way to resolve the defect in their Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul.
Even if he did not, after learning that Tang San was going to Shrek Academy, she no longer intended to go there.
She might be the Little Demoness, but she could not get along with a lunatic like Tang San.
Seeing lots of criminals in prison and deciding that prison itself was evil—what the hell, who could even reason with him?
Having made up her mind, Ning Rongrong immediately prepared to act.
At the same time, Dugu Yan dragged Ye Lingling along in a frantic run. When she returned home and saw her grandfather, she became so emotional that she nearly cried, rushing over and throwing herself into his arms.
Dugu Bo had been quite happy to see his precious granddaughter, but the moment he saw this, his expression darkened.
"Yan Yan, don't cry. Tell Grandfather, what happened? Did someone bully you?"
"Damn it, which blind fool dared bully Dugu Bo's precious granddaughter? Tell Grandfather. I'll tear him into eight pieces!"
