The Melancholy Silver Dragon King! Am I Really Peerless Wisdom?

Early in the morning, Bai Yuan returned from the direction of the Eastsea Academy, his steps unhurried, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He still looked relaxed and carefree, like an ordinary student who had just finished his morning exercise.

He evaded surveillance along the way, and even the all-pervasive sensing arrays of the Spirit Pagoda failed to detect his presence.

With the Black Calamity Set and Godspeed, I can move freely throughout the city.

It has been confirmed that Tang Wulin is alright, he's just still unconscious.

His breathing is steady, his wounds are healing, and his vital signs are normal.

He knew that God King Tang's son wouldn't die so easily.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and walked down the brightly lit corridor of the Spirit Pagoda.

The corners of her lips turned up slightly.

Eastsea Academy has good medical facilities, Tang Wulin's physical recovery ability is also abnormal, and with Wu Changkong guarding him, he is safe.

As for his injuries, who did it, and who brought him back?

That kid will find out about these things sooner or later.

But that's a matter for later.

What he's concerned about now is what will happen to Tang Wulin next.

According to the original story, he should have gone to Shrek.

That was the path Tang San had arranged for his son.

It is a crucial part of a long-term plan.

Given that kid's personality, he knows Shrek is the number one academy on the continent.

With the best teachers and resources, most people would be tempted.

He might still end up going down that path.

But if we're just taking advantage of him, when Tang Wulin goes to Shrek, Tang San will definitely need to replenish his divine sense with new Divine Sense.

Then the wool will grow back.

In his imagination, Bai Yuan heard a long, agonizing scream.

Shrek is amazing.

They not only provided the Leng Family with political leverage, but also exploited them and offered them comfort.

One college, one person—both of their needs were met.

Is there anything better in this world?

With a smile, he quickened his pace toward Gu Yuena's room.

For the past two days, that girl has been staying in her room under the pretext of feeling unwell, refusing to cultivate, avoiding everyone, and even having her meals delivered to her door by staff.

The Core Flame's perception was correct; her aura had gone from weak to steady, and her injuries had mostly healed.

That's because Bi Ji's healing abilities are strong, and the Silver Dragon King's recovery ability is also abnormally powerful.

Now that your injury has almost healed, what are you doing staying cooped up in your room?

Bai Yuan turned the corner of the corridor and saw that Gu Yuena's room door was open in the distance.

She leaned against the door frame, her long silver hair falling over her shoulders.

She was wearing a plain white dress, her face was pale, and her lips were still somewhat white.

She stared blankly at the window at the end of the corridor, as if looking at something very, very far away.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around, her purple eyes falling on Bai Yuan, devoid of any emotion.

Bai Yuan walked over, stopped in front of her, tilted his head, and looked her up and down.

"Huh, has your injury healed and you've become melancholy?"

Gu Yuena looked at him, her lips moved slightly, but she did not refute him.

"... I'm just a little tired."

Looking into those lifeless purple eyes, Bai Yuan suddenly recalled the scenes he had witnessed in the Core Flame last night.

When Xiao Bai stood up to her companion's accusations, Cipher's cat-like eyes were filled with disgust.

That kind of loneliness of not being understood, that kind of exhaustion of trying your best but still being misunderstood.

Gu Yuena also had that kind of thing on her.

Bearing the hopes of the entire Soul Beast race, they lurk in the human world.

They carefully concealed their identities and could not trust anyone.

Of course, this is the normal Gu Yuena now, not the Gu Yue who became overly obsessed with love after the split.

Bai Yuan snapped out of his thoughts, smiled, and spoke in his usual irritating tone, but with less of the playfulness and more of a seriousness.

"If you're tired, take a good rest."

"The sky won't fall down, and even if it does, there are tall people to hold it up."

Gu Yuena looked at him, a barely perceptible emotion flashing in her purple eyes.

"You're quite good at comforting people."

She lowered her eyes, her voice soft.

Bai Yuan shrugged.

"I have many good points."

Gu Yuena didn't reply, but simply turned around, walked back into her room, and left with a remark.

"Come in, don't just stand in the doorway."

"The teacher asked me to ask you about the upcoming Spirit Ascension Platform assessment yesterday."

What are you going to do?

Bai Yuan followed her inside, the smile on his lips deepening.

What else can we do but take advantage of the deals?

Bai Yuan sat down opposite Gu Yuena, tilting his head to look her over.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, her purple eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow beneath her eyelids.

She sat there quietly, neither arguing with anyone, nor getting angry, nor paying any attention to Yuansu, and she didn't even bother to look at him.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This girl has suddenly become much more normal. Could it be that her head injury has healed itself?

Could it be that getting injured really increases the Silver Dragon King's intelligence?

"Well--"

Gu Yuena let out a long sigh.

Bai Yuan suppressed a laugh as he looked at her worried expression.

He said bitterly to himself:

"How did my brilliant plan... turn out like this?"

Am I... not that smart?

"Did I truly inherit the wisdom and divine nature of the Dragon God?"

Seeing his face moving so wildly, Bai Yuan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Yuena raised her head and glared at him, a hint of anger appearing in her purple eyes.

Bai Yuan immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"No, no, please continue, please continue."

Gu Yuena bit her lip, her voice tinged with a mixture of gritted teeth and grievance.

"This feeling... is so strange."

In human terms, this is called... doubting oneself.

"Why should I, the mighty Silver Dragon King, doubt myself?"

Bai Yuan stood at the door, turning back to look at Gu Yuena's dejected appearance.

This girl is really starting to doubt herself. She is the Silver Dragon King, the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts.

It was Gu Yuena, who always held her chin high and never bowed her head in front of him.

She was looking down, her long silver hair falling down and obscuring half of her face.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile inwardly.

LOL, that won't do!

Without your wisdom, this matter cannot be accomplished.

If she doubts herself because of this failure, how will she ever succeed in getting freebies again?

Oh no, how are we supposed to deal with Tang San now?

Bai Yuan walked over and stopped in front of her.

Gu Yuena raised her head, the shadow of self-doubt still lingering in her purple eyes.

Before she could react, a hand had already landed on her head.

The pressure was neither too light nor too heavy, neither too fast nor too slow; the palms were warm and dry, and the fingers were slightly curled up.

He gently ruffled her hair, like soothing a cat with its fur standing on end.

Gu Yuena froze completely.

His purple eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, his mind blank.

He was rubbing his hair; this human was rubbing his hair.

What was even more terrifying than before was that for a fleeting moment she actually felt his hands were warm.

It reminded her of a sunny afternoon many years ago, deep in the Star Dou Forest.

The sensation of several small Soul Beast rubbing against her.

Gu Yuena clenched her fists and bit her lip.

What are you doing?

Gu Yue's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

Bai Yuan withdrew his hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Nothing much, I just thought you needed this."

Gu Yue glared at him, wanting to say something harsh, but found her mind was completely blank.

She took a deep breath and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

"... snort."

Bai Yuan's smile deepened as he watched her feign anger despite clearly enjoying the moment.

He turned and walked towards the door, took two steps, stopped, and left without looking back.

"Junior sister, I don't know what happened to you, but don't doubt yourself, don't doubt your own wisdom."

"Without you, who will manage the overall situation of the Spirit Pagoda?"

Who will plan for future development?

"Who's going crazy every other day?"

Gu Yue's lips twitched.

"I didn't go crazy."

Bai Yuan opened the door and walked out, his footsteps fading into the distance in the corridor.

Gu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the closed door, her clenched fist slowly loosening.

She reached out and touched the top of her head, where the warmth of his palm still lingered.

She couldn't describe the feeling.

"Stinky human."

"Who asked you to touch me?"
