The Dragon Knight's Love-Struck Brain Kicked In! Qiangu Dongfeng's Test!

Qiangu Zhangting took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his clenched fist.

We must not lose our composure; he is the eldest grandson of the Qiangu Family and the future heir to the Spirit Pagoda.

How can you let a few words disturb your peace of mind?

"My grandfather is concerned about this disciple of His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix, so he sent me to take a look."

"What's the truth about this recently famous genius from the Spirit Pagoda?"

"After all, it is an honor for us that the Spirit Pagoda has produced such a genius!"

His tone returned to calm, a perfectly timed smile returned to his lips, and his gaze naturally turned to Bai Yuan.

But as his eyes turned toward Bai Yuan, they involuntarily drifted to the side.

Gu Yuena stood slightly behind Bai Yuan, her long silver hair cascading down her shoulders, her purple eyes calmly watching him.

He stood there quietly, expressionless and emotionless, yet it made Qiangu Zhangting's heart skip a beat.

It's just as beautiful as it looks in the photo.

No, it looks even better.

The cold, moon-like face in the photo had kept him tossing and turning for several nights.

But when he saw her in person, he realized that the photos couldn't capture even a tenth of her charm.

Her silver hair shimmered faintly in the morning light, and her purple eyes resembled two gems washed by moonlight.

She stood there without saying a word, exuding a cool and aloof aura, like an orchid blooming on a snow-capped mountain.

Bai Yuan caught the gaze that drifted towards Gu Yuena, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, the underlying code of Douluo has been triggered!

How could I have forgotten about this?

The biggest simp in the Spirit Pagoda is right in front of me!

Bai Yuan's gaze swept back and forth between Qiangu Zhangting and Gu Yuena, and he sighed inwardly.

This eldest grandson of the Qian Gu family, and the future master of the Spirit Pagoda, was completely manipulated by Gu Yuena in the original story.

From falling in love with Gu Yue at first sight, to being used, deceived, and abandoned later.

He never truly received even a glance from her.

Poor Tom!!

Gu Yuena seemed to sense that burning gaze and turned her head to glance at Qiangu Zhangting.

Her brow furrowed slightly.

This person was looking at her; she was all too familiar with that gaze.

That brat is the same as this person.

It is the possessive, intense gaze that only human males show when looking at females.

She disliked this kind of gaze, especially being stared at like that by a stranger, a human being who instinctively disgusted her.

Gu Yuena expressionlessly shifted her gaze, walked behind Bai Yuan, and used her body to block his view.

Bai Yuan was taken aback by her sudden action and turned his head to look at her.

She was looking down, her long silver hair falling from both sides, obscuring her expression.

Bai Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

This girl is quite good at finding excuses.

On the training ground, Qiangu Zhangting withdrew his gaze from Gu Yuena and returned it to Bai Yuan's face.

His smile remained unchanged, but Leng Yaozhu caught a fleeting hint of unease in his eyes.

Leng Yaozhu's brows twitched slightly, her eyes sweeping back and forth between Qiangu Zhangting and Bai Yuan, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She didn't spell it out, but simply said...

"Have you finished looking at everyone? Then let's go back."

"Tell your grandfather that my disciple is none of his concern."

Qiangu Zhangting bowed slightly, a smile that was just right, showing both respect and grace.

"Heavenly Phoenix Majesty, we meant well."

"After all, the emergence of a genius from the Spirit Pagoda is something the entire Spirit Pagoda should be happy about."

"Zhang Ting only wants the Spirit Pagoda to prosper and become stronger; there's no need for him to target us like this."

Leng Yaozhu gave a soft snort, her amber eyes lingering on him for a moment.

This little guy is quite sharp-tongued.

But when did it become a mere youth's business to worry about the prosperity of the Spirit Pagoda?

A powerful aura poured out from her body, not as an attack, but as a warning.

That imposing aura pressed precisely on one person in Qiangu Zhangting, like an invisible mountain descending from the sky and pressing directly on his shoulders.

Qiangu Zhangting's breath hitched, and his face turned deathly pale.

My legs were trembling, my back was weak, and I could barely stand.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

We cannot bring shame to the Qiangu Family, nor can we allow Leng Yaozhu to look down upon the Qiangu Family's descendants.

Just as that overwhelming aura was about to crush him, another equally powerful aura surged from the entrance of the training ground, precisely intercepting Leng Yaozhu's pressure.

The two forces collided silently in mid-air, causing the air in the training ground to freeze slightly.

The pressure on Qiangu Zhangting suddenly dissipated, and he gasped for breath, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

He turned around, and a familiar figure walked in from the doorway.

The Qiangu Dongfeng.

He wore a dark robe, walked at a leisurely pace, and wore a perfectly measured smile.

His gaze swept over Leng Yaozhu, then fell on Bai Yuan, and finally returned to Leng Yaozhu's face.

"Yaozhu, why make things difficult for the younger generation?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"This is to see just how outstanding your disciple is. As a member of the Spirit Pagoda, it's a necessary matter."

Leng Yaozhu looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Master of Dongfeng Pagoda Master, it's been a long time."

"We've grown accustomed to each other, Yaozhu."

The sound of the Qiangu Dongfeng carried a touch of melancholy.

It's like reminiscing about something, or perhaps hinting at something.

Then, Qiangu Dongfeng's aura surged straight towards Bai Yuan.

When that imposing aura pressed down, Bai Yuan's muscles tensed up abruptly.

My spine went numb, my hair stood on end, and even my breathing stopped for a moment.

The imposing aura of the Qiangu Dongfeng was controlled with exquisite precision, neither too strong nor too weak, just right at the limit he could withstand.

The Core Flame within Bai Yuan's body flickered slightly at that moment.

Bai Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and a faint smile even lingered at the corners of his mouth.

His muscles slowly relaxed after his momentum dissipated, his heartbeat returned to steady from a standstill, and his breathing adjusted from rapid to even.

He stood there, as if nothing had happened.

But the cold sweat on his back had already soaked through his inner clothes.

Qiangu Dongfeng took everything in view and nodded.

"You've found a good prospect, Yaozhu."

He didn't see Bai Yuan's disheveled state, only his composure.

This mindset is even more precious than talent.

Leng Yaozhu looked at him without saying a word.

She certainly knew what Qiangu Dongfeng was doing, and she also knew what Bai Yuan had endured.

She could feel Bai Yuan's muscles tense up for a moment.

But Bai Yuan did not disappoint her; he withstood it, and did so with remarkable composure.

"I hope your exchange trip to Shrek goes smoothly. If you need anything, feel free to talk to your teacher or me, hahaha."

Laughter echoed through the training ground, carrying the "care" of elders for younger generations.

It also carries the "generosity" of the Spirit Pagoda Master towards the Spirit Pagoda's disciples.

Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled a few times, then composed himself and walked towards the door.

"Zhangting is gone."

Qiangu Zhangting glanced at Gu Yuena, then at Bai Yuan, before lowering his head and following Qiangu Dongfeng's footsteps.

The grandfather and grandson disappeared through the doorway.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the training ground fell silent.

Leng Yaozhu stared in the direction they had disappeared, the smile on her lips still lingering.

She looked away and asked Bai Yuan, "Are you alright?"

Bai Yuan shook his head. "It's nothing."

Leng Yaozhu patted his shoulder and turned to walk out of the training ground.

Bai Yuan looked in the direction where the Qiangu Zhangting had disappeared, then glanced at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena stepped out from behind Bai Yuan, her long silver hair swaying gently in the breeze.

He gazed in the direction Qiangu Zhangting had left, his brow still furrowed.

Bai Yuan's lips curled slightly.

"Junior sister, why were you hiding just now?"

Gu Yuena looked at him expressionlessly, her voice Bingbing.

"He didn't dodge."

"Then why are you standing behind me?"

"... It's windy."

Bai Yuan's smile deepened as he looked at her stubborn expression.

Okay, it's windy.

Looking at Gu Yuena's gloomy face!

What idea is that brain of his thinking now?!
