As Long As Brother Is Happy, I'll Be Satisfied! Returning to Tiandou

Dugu Yan, who had originally still been upset over losing the spar, looked at Tang Shan as she let out that strange laugh, and instantly felt relieved.

The two siblings were never normal people to begin with, so why should I compare myself to them?!

Besides, was losing to her "sister-in-law" really something that shameful?

"Tang Shan, let's form an alliance!"

Having just steadied herself, Dugu Yan hurriedly grabbed Tang Shan's wrist. Because of the stimulating effect of her first soul skill, her cheeks were still flushed, and her tone carried a hint of excitement.

Tang Shan turned back in confusion, waiting for her to continue.

"Lan Yu is so outstanding. In the future, there definitely won't be any shortage of women around him. When that time comes, how could he still have the time to look after you, his little sister?"

The more Dugu Yan spoke, the more enthusiastic she became, completely failing to notice the smile on Tang Shan's face sinking little by little.

She leaned close to Tang Shan's ear and lowered her voice.

"I know you have a brother complex. I don't mind. As long as you help me, the two of us can join hands and tie him down. When the time comes... hehe."

As Dugu Yan spoke, she even winked at Tang Shan.

The air went quiet for a few seconds.

You don't mind?!

Tang Shan lowered her eyes, leaving Dugu Yan unable to make out her emotions for a moment.

The chill that had originally dispersed from around her swept back in again.

Tang Shan slowly raised her head. The last trace of gratitude she had still held toward Dugu Yan vanished in an instant.

In the depths of her eyes, a near-twisted possessiveness still churned.

"Dugu Yan, who gave you permission to act like the mistress of the house?"

Tang Shan lifted her chin. Her pretty face was as cold as frost, yet there was a sickly flush to it. "As long as Brother is happy, even if I have to stand at the side and watch, I would do so willingly."

Her tone paused, and her gaze darkened. "If Brother is unhappy because of them, I will spare no cost to get rid of them."

What nonsense are you talking about?

Tang Shan looked at Dugu Yan, whose expression had abruptly changed because of her "shocking" words, and said coldly, "Dugu Yan, I don't want to hear anything like this again."

With that, she no longer gave Dugu Yan another look. She lightly flicked her ponytail, turned, and left.

"What if, and I mean what if, Lan Yu willingly chooses only me?" Dugu Yan suppressed the chill in her heart and pressed on.

Tang Shan did not stop walking. Her tone was flat and without ripples. "I respect Brother's choice."

"I told you, Xiao Shan knows her limits. She won't act recklessly."

When Dugu Bo had just seen Dugu Yan's body pierced through by Tang Shan's single strike, he had been badly frightened. If Lan Yu had not stopped him, he really would have rushed up.

And now, looking at Dugu Yan, who had stood up as if nothing had happened and was instead making faces at Tang Shan, Dugu Bo only felt a wave of embarrassment, black lines practically covering his head.

Before long, two figures ran over one after the other.

"Brother~"

"Grandpa!"

The two voices rang out at the same time. Tang Shan and Dugu Yan, one on the left and one on the right, respectively threw themselves into Lan Yu's and Dugu Bo's arms.

Dugu Bo rubbed Dugu Yan's short hair, only feeling that the granddaughter in his arms seemed listless. He merely assumed she was unconvinced after losing the match and did not think much of it, only smiling as he patted her back and casually comforted her.

"Brother, don't move~" Tang Shan hugged Lan Yu's neck tightly, making no effort to hide the way she deeply inhaled his scent.

Just now, when facing Dugu Yan, her words had been both firm and steady, as if she truly could be magnanimous enough to stand at the side and watch Lan Yu share intimate pleasure with other women.

But only Tang Shan herself knew that as long as such a scene so much as flashed through her mind, her heart would hurt terribly.

How could she obediently watch? She would only cling pitifully to Brother.

She begged for Brother's affection!

Seeing Tang Shan carefully sniffing his scent like a little puppy that had not seen its master for many days, Lan Yu chuckled. "Xiao Shan, is this your 'request'?"

"What? Of course it isn't~" Tang Shan let go, her beautiful eyes glaring at Lan Yu, and in the blink of an eye she had returned to her soft, sweet state. "Brother only knows how to bully me~"

The next day.

Lan Yu brought Tang Shan and Dugu Yan into Heaven Dou Academy. Less than fifteen minutes after the three entered the academy, the news instantly spread throughout the entire academy administration.

After Lan Yu entered the faculty office, four figures inside had already been waiting for a long time. Meng Shenji and the other two education committee members looked as usual. Only the tall red-haired figure off to the side was restless and uneasy.

"Greetings..."

Before Lan Yu could finish speaking, Qin Yue shot up from her chair with a "whoosh," carrying a gust of fragrance as she slammed straight into him.

The two soft peaks in front of her chest struck Lan Yu and forced him half a step back.

"Teacher Qin, I know you're happy to see me back."

Lan Yu spoke between laughter and helplessness, his tone carrying a bit of resignation. "But you can't exactly 'hit someone with the ball,' can you?"

"You—!"

Qin Yue's pretty face instantly flushed crimson, her beautiful eyes widening with reproach.

"All right, Xiao Yue. The children just got back. Compose yourself first."

Meng Shenji stroked his beard and laughed, waving a hand to smooth things over for the two of them. "There are still matters at the Academic Affairs Office. You should head back first."

Qin Yue gave a soft huff and strode out the door. Before closing it, she still did not forget to look back and glare at Lan Yu.

The room fell quiet for a moment. Bai Baoshan was the first to speak, frowning as his gaze landed on Lan Yu. "Lan Yu, that night, was it Poison Douluo..."

He had only spoken halfway when Meng Shenji coughed heavily and shot him a look.

His granddaughter was still here, wasn't she?!

Bai Baoshan immediately understood and said no more.

Seeing this, Lan Yu took the initiative to explain. "Teachers, there's no need to worry. Poison Douluo and I have quite a close relationship."

"You joined the Dugu Family?!"

Meng Shenji shot to his feet and reached Lan Yu in a few strides, pressing both hands on his shoulders, his tone full of urgency. "You can't be foolish about this!"

"Grandfather doesn't have the ability to recruit him."

Dugu Yan folded her arms and gave a soft laugh.

"That's good, that's good..."

Lan Yu was utterly confused. He scratched his head and looked at the three of them. "We've only been gone for less than a week. Why does it feel as if something world-shattering happened?"

The teachers exchanged glances and sighed before finally speaking slowly.

"The empire nearly broke with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and went to war!"

"Before you left, did you exchange blows with Yu Tianheng?"

Lan Yu swept a sidelong glance at Dugu Yan, whose eyes subconsciously dodged away, then nodded slightly. "I did."

"Then Yu Tianheng lost, and with it, he lost his position as captain of the Imperial Fighting Team. In a fit of rage, he actually took the initiative to quit the team."

"When word of this got back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the vice clan master, Yu Luomian, personally came to our door, demanding an explanation from the academy and even forcing us to expel you."

At this point, Meng Shenji's tone turned a few degrees colder.

"What does he think he is? A fellow Soul Douluo, and he still dared to pressure us." Zhilin, who had not spoken all this time, let out a cold snort.

"What bullshit 'number one beast martial soul under heaven'? It only relies on stable martial soul inheritance. There are plenty of martial souls stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!" Bai Baoshan chimed in as well.

"Naturally, we didn't agree. We snapped right back at him on the spot."

"That Yu Luomian left in shame and anger. But who would have thought that just two or three days later, at night, he'd be beaten up in an alley in Tiandou City with his head covered?"

At this point, Meng Shenji could not help laughing.

"When the clan master, Yu Yuanzhen, learned of this, he flew into a rage. As a Title Douluo, he personally descended upon Tiandou City and demanded that the empire hand over the culprit to apologize. Originally, the sect master of the Seven-Colored Precious Lotus Sect came forward as a mediator, and it looked as if the matter was about to be suppressed..."

"Chief, didn't you just say they broke with the empire?"

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and could not help cutting in. "Since someone was mediating, why did it reach the point of a break?"

Meng Shenji snorted. "That old thing Yu Yuanzhen was still the master of a clan, a Title Douluo. If he slunk back with his tail between his legs, he wouldn't be able to save face. He knew that the empire could never throw us three old bones out, so he turned his spearhead on you, demanding that His Majesty hand you over and let the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan deal with you as they pleased."
