You Won't Come into My Room? Gu Yue's Tenderness

Bai Yuan sat on a rest chair by the Training Ground.

Tang Wulin sat opposite him.

"A seven-player team battle exhibition match?"

"Right."

Bai Yuan nodded.

"Their people found me and said it was the final event of the Soul Master Tournament, followed by the closing ceremony."

The Star Luo Empire wants to invite Shrek Academy and Monster Academy to a team battle exhibition match at the closing ceremony, supposedly to promote friendship between the two countries.

"Hey, Big Brother Bai, shouldn't we just go find Senior Zhuo Shi?"

Bai Yuan answered

"Senior Zhuo Shi said he has already asked."

His answer was for me to come to you and ask for your thoughts.

Bai Yuan's lips curved into a slight smile.

This old guy's got some clever little scheme going on. Anyway, Bai Yuan will be the one actually going to fight. Does he really believe his disciple can get Long Yue without Bai Yuan leading the team?

That would be difficult.

Moreover, not to mention Sky Phoenix Douluo of the Douluo Continent, Leng Yaozhu, the Body Douluo, alone is far superior to the Red Dragon Douluo Mu Ye. Zhuo Shi has no way to command Bai Yuan.

He simply passed the buck and let Bai Yuan decide for himself.

"Um"

Bai Yuan placed the recovery fluid on his knees, a hint of contemplation in his golden eyes.

"Big Brother Bai, we need to think this over carefully."

"After all, this concerns the reputation of the academy; we cannot make a hasty decision."

"We must participate!"

A voice suddenly cut in from the side door of the Training Ground.

Yue Zhengyu strode in, his forehead still damp with the light sweat from running back from outside, as if he couldn't sit still after hearing the rest of the sentence.

He stood still before the crowd, his chest rising and falling slightly:

"We absolutely have to participate! How can we miss out on such a chance to shine!"

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment:

"Yue Zhengyu, have you finished listening?"

"I've heard it all! The Empire will offer seven spiritual items suitable for the victor as a reward!"

"The Star Luo Empire is rich in spiritual items, so their quality must be excellent."

Yue Zhengyu's eyes lit up.

Even if it's useless to me, its value is still frighteningly high.

We've seen it all at the auction house before; nothing they bring out is ordinary!

The Training Ground fell silent for a moment.

Xie Xie stopped drinking water, the cup hovering near his lips.

Yuanen Yehui's crossed arms shifted slightly.

Xu Lizhi put down the sesame seed cake and nodded seriously.

Even Tang Wulin's expression changed from "needs careful consideration" to "seems he is indeed somewhat tempted."

Bai Yuan sat in the chair, his gaze sweeping over each person's face.

He was silent for a few moments, then spoke, his voice neither loud nor soft:

"I think you should listen to me."

"Then let's participate."

Yue Zhengyu clenched his fist tightly:

"Good!"

"But there is one condition."

Bai Yuan looked up at him.

"You can't just rush in alone in this team fight."

"I need your teamwork; I won't be involved much."

Yue Zhengyu opened his mouth, wanting to refute.

He swallowed his words and replied sullenly:

"Knew."

Xie Xie burst out laughing from the side:

"Even Young Master Yue has a day when he has to be kept in check."

"Xie Xie, shut up!"

Tang Wulin quickly pulled the two apart, who were about to start fighting again.

Yuanen Yehui silently took a step back.

Bai Yuan stood up and walked towards the exit of the Training Ground:

"I'll go and report back to Senior Zhuo Shi."

As he reached the door, he tilted his head and looked at Yue Zhengyu, who was arguing with Xie Xie.

Yue Zhengyu seemed to sense his gaze, stiffened for a moment, and stood up somewhat awkwardly.

Bai Yuan didn't say much, pushed open the door and went out.

Xie Xie's hushed voice came from behind:

"Hey Yue Zhengyu, is your face red?"

"You're famous now! Your whole family is famous now!"

"Then why are your ears as red as dragon fruit?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I admire Big Brother Bai."

"Same!"

"Xie Xie, you're asking for it!"

The night was deep.

The wall lamps in the corridor of the Star Luo Hotel emit a warm, yellow glow.

He walked towards the room at the end of the corridor, his steps a few paces slower than usual.

However, the moment he looked up at the door...

A figure stood silently outside the door.

It was a woman.

Her beauty was undeniably striking, and the warm hotel lights shone on her, making her appear even more radiant.

Her long, silver hair shimmered with a subtle light as it fell over her shoulders.

Bai Yuan paused slightly in his steps.

Why is she here?

Gu Yue stood there, her hands empty, holding nothing, just standing straight in front of his door, as if waiting for someone.

It was as if they weren't sure what they were waiting for.

As she heard footsteps approaching, her shoulders tensed almost imperceptibly, but she didn't immediately look up.

Bai Yuan approached.

He could clearly sense that she was trying her best to maintain a calm expression.

But that loosened finger betrayed her.

Get your brain working!

Reason!

Reason!

Why am I standing at his door?

I can't exactly say I was just passing by, can I?

Who would stop at the end of a corridor and stand in front of someone's door for ages?

Bai Yuan walked up to her and stopped just before she was about to burst into flames.

I looked down at her for two seconds.

Gu Yue finally looked up at him.

Bai Yuan remained silent.

Then he raised his hand and pinched her cheek lightly.

Gu Yue froze completely.

The touch on my cheek was warm and gentle, but not very strong.

It's like sculpting a cat that's been caught doing something wrong.

Bai Yuan withdrew his hand and tilted his head slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there a ghost?"

Gu Yue's ear tips turned crimson red in an instant.

She opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"You're the one who's lying."

"Then why are you standing at my door?"

"I."

She paused, her silver eyes flickering.

"I was just passing by."

"Is the destination I'm passing by my doorstep?"

"Mind your own business!"

Bai Yuan smiled slightly, but didn't expose her.

He pushed open the door and glanced at her.

Would you like to come in and have a seat?

Gu Yue stopped at the doorway.

"I..."

She turned her head and saw Bai Yuan standing in the room, one hand on the doorframe.

But her foot had already stepped out.

The moment she stepped inside, she frantically questioned herself:

What are you doing???

Just because he says "come in and sit down" doesn't mean you should.

You're the Silver Dragon King! You should have some backbone!

You.

But his room smelled so good.

His aura is so warm.

She walked to the window, pretending to look at the night view.

Bai Yuan watched her walk in and stop by the window.

He stood there for two seconds, but didn't approach immediately.

A glint of interest flashed in his golden eyes.

He sensed a very faint echo from her.

Fragments of the Dragon God Core throbbed slightly in her chest.

Meanwhile, the two Dragon King auras within his body instinctively resonated deep within the Core Flame seed.

Could it be that they were attracted by the aura of the two Dragon Kings?

She herself hadn't actually realized what was happening yet...

That's really interesting.

Bai Yuan suppressed the urge to smile.

He walked over and sat down on the sofa, making room for Gu Yue.

"Let's get down to business."

Gu Yue's shoulders relaxed slightly, as if she had finally found a topic that wouldn't be so awkward.

She turned around and chose a seat that wasn't too far from him.

"Um?"

"The family behind you."

Bai Yuan looked at her.

"I want to cooperate."
