Ye Lingling's Misunderstanding? Ye Lingling Unlocks Special Attributes!

"She's Ye Lingling?"

Lan Yu heard Dugu Yan's words and frowned slightly.

"I'm really not close to her."

Under Dugu Yan's curious gaze, Lan Yu smiled helplessly and explained, "Aside from the team's daily special training, I've never seen her anywhere else."

Just as Lan Yu and Dugu Yan were talking, he once again felt a familiar gaze fall on him. He turned to look and saw Ye Lingling blinking her big, adorably vacant eyes as she looked this way.

When Lan Yu's gaze landed on her, a trace of panic flashed through Ye Lingling's eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.

In the last row of the classroom, Osler and Yu Feng gritted their molars and said viciously, "Lan Yu really deserves to die!"

The two girls originally on the Heaven Dou Team had both been snatched away by Lan Yu.

Hearing this from where he sat beside them, Yu Tianheng's lips lifted almost imperceptibly, and a hint of gloating rose in his heart.

To become Dugu Yan's knight in shining armor again, he, Yu Tianheng, had gone all out. He had knelt directly before Yu Yuanzhen, thrown a tantrum, rolled around, and begged bitterly, pleading for him to help him return to the Heaven Dou Team.

Because of that, he had taken a vicious beating, and in the end had only exchanged it for the qualification to "sit in with the team." To put it plainly, he was just an auditing student.

But Yu Tianheng did not feel wronged in the slightest.

He knew very well that the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was delicate now. Getting this result was already thanks to his grandfather's face.

In the front row, the Shi Brothers heard the sound of paper being torn by teeth behind them and glanced back, then shook their heads in unison.

Women were nothing but passing clouds. The only thing that could truly accompany you for a lifetime was the muscle on your body.

The two of them exchanged a look, and their passion instantly surged. They sprang to their feet, directly bursting the clothes on their upper bodies, and revealed Mr. Olympia smiles on their faces.

Then they began showing off the muscles on their bodies as if no one else was around, looking exactly like two massive muscle freaks.

"What the hell are you two doing?!"

On the platform, the teacher who was writing on the board caught this scene from the corner of his eye. The corner of his mouth twitched, and at last he could not endure it anymore, roaring angrily.

He knew very well the strength and backgrounds of the Heaven Dou Team members. He had never hoped that these young masters and young misses would obediently listen to his lecture, but if you were going to slack off, at least do it properly!

The whispering in the front, he had endured.

The tearing of books with teeth in the back, he had endured too.

But! These two exhibitionist muscle men carrying tortoise shells on their backs were something he really could not endure!

"You two, get out!"

The furious roar shook even the windows. Only then did the Shi Brothers, whose brains had been taken over by muscle, come back to their senses. Hugging their clothes, they slunk out of the classroom in disgrace.

The classroom finally returned to silence. The teacher took a deep breath before continuing the lesson.

"Lan Yu..."

Ye Lingling brushed the loose hair by her ear and looked at the back of the young man in front of her, who was listening to the lesson seriously. An indescribable strange feeling rose in her heart.

Some time ago, because of matters at home, she had not come to the academy for classes. Only after she returned did she learn that the captain of the Heaven Dou Team had changed.

She had originally mentioned it to her grandfather as casual family talk, but unexpectedly, the moment her grandfather heard the two words "Lan Yu," his expression changed abruptly.

Only after she repeatedly pressed him did her grandfather tell her Lan Yu's identity. She had never expected that Lan Yu and his younger sister Tang Shan actually came from the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect, the number one sect under heaven!

Her grandfather had instructed her on the spot that she had to build a good relationship with Lan Yu and his sister.

To make it convenient for her to go to school, and also convenient for her to interact more with the two of them, her grandfather had even directly moved the medical clinic in Heaven Dou's outer city to the vicinity of the academy.

That display had left her completely stunned!

Although her great-grandmother was one of the elders from the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect.

But wasn't Lan Yu also merely a disciple from the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect?

Yet after spending these short two months around him, only then did she discover what was terrifying about Lan Yu. He actually had three thousand-year spirit rings! And his younger sister Tang Shan also had two thousand-year spirit rings?!

At this thought, Ye Lingling's cheeks warmed slightly, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Before long, the bell signaling the end of class rang.

Lan Yu had just stood up and was about to leave when a faint female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Captain Lan Yu, please wait a moment. I have something I want to say to you."

Lan Yu's steps paused, and he turned around in confusion. The classroom instantly fell silent, and everyone's gazes gathered over.

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Lingling as if she had seen a ghost. She knew exactly how socially anxious this good friend of hers usually was.

"Okay."

Lan Yu responded faintly and was the first to walk out of the classroom.

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, ignored the gazes of the people around her, and followed out in small steps.

"Ah—!"

Only a few seconds after the two of them left, Yu Feng and Osler could no longer hold it in and raised their heads to let out a wail.

"Shut up! You're so noisy."

Dugu Yan's willowy brows snapped upright. She shot the two of them a cold glare, then turned and left as well.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng immediately rose and chased after her. He had only taken one step when he stopped again, turned back, and said to the two with a cold face, "If you disturb Yanzi again next time, don't blame me for being rude."

With that, he didn't wait for their reaction and hurried after her.

"What the hell? That damn simp still has the nerve to talk about us?" Yu Feng gave a furious sneer.

"Exactly."

"The goddess whose hand he can't even touch might be riding Lan Yu for all he knows!" Osler chimed in.

"To stay here, he even made his Title Douluo grandfather lose face along with him. The face of all eighteen generations of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestors has been completely thrown away by him."

Originally, the two of them had respected Yu Tianheng a great deal, but they couldn't stand how Yu Tianheng kept doing things that stripped away his own dignity.

In a shaded corner outside the teaching building.

Lan Yu raised a hand to shield himself from the glaring sunlight, then turned and walked back into the shadows, looking at the girl who had followed him.

Ye Lingling wore a well-tailored black outfit that made her figure look slender and delicate.

Her hands hung stiffly in front of her. With her head lowered, she said timidly, "Captain Lan Yu, there's something I want to tell you."

"Just call me Lan Yu."

"Lan Yu..."

Ye Lingling softly repeated his name. After considering her words for a few seconds, she finally gathered the courage to look up. "You... are from the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect, right?"

In truth, she wanted to use this topic to draw closer to him.

After all, her family also had ties to the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect.

But the instant her words fell, the air seemed to freeze solid.

The faint smile on Lan Yu's face vanished at once, and his expression darkened.

He lifted his eyes to look at Ye Lingling, killing intent surging in their depths.

After waiting a moment and not hearing Lan Yu answer, Ye Lingling looked up in confusion. Before she could react, a large hand covered in purple-gold dragon scales suddenly clamped around her neck.

Killing intent radiated from Lan Yu's eyes. His tone was icy to the bone, each word spoken with deliberate force. "Where did you learn that?"

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of playing dumb and brushing it off, but that simply wouldn't work.

In the eyes of outsiders, he had a dragon-attribute body martial soul, something that had nothing whatsoever to do with the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect. Since Ye Lingling could ask that question, she had to know something.

Ye Lingling's feet left the ground, and the feeling of suffocation instantly rushed into her brain.

She desperately slapped at Lan Yu's arm, her body struggling helplessly in midair as her vision gradually blurred.

Just as her eyes began to roll back, the force in Lan Yu's hand abruptly loosened.

Ye Lingling fell seated on the ground, gulping in air.

She looked up and saw Lan Yu walking closer. Terrified, her whole body trembled, and she instinctively shrank backward until her back pressed against the cold wall.

Lan Yu crouched down, his expression still indifferent.

He reached out and tugged the black veil from the girl's face, revealing a small face flushed red from suffocation, then pressed her again. "Answer me. Where did you learn that?"

Not talking?

Lan Yu raised a brow and reached out again toward the girl's neck, where red marks still lingered.

Ye Lingling was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. Incoherent, she spilled everything she knew.

"My name is Ye Lingling, my grandfather is Ye Renxin, and my great-grandmother was Lan Yue, an elder of the Blue Silver Sacred Heart Sect! My family lives at number 37, Triumph Street, in the inner city of Heaven Dou!"

"My grandfather... My grandfather seems to have gotten information about you from Aunt Lan Ya!"

Lan Yu froze at her words, and his expression darkened even further.

These grass-playing people couldn't keep their mouths shut, could they?

He stood, looking at the girl on the ground with a complicated gaze for several seconds before letting out a soft sigh.

He bent down and reached out, pulling Ye Lingling to her feet. His tone remained cold. "Sorry."

With that, he didn't look at the girl again and turned to leave directly.

Ye Lingling stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the boy's receding back.

In that instant just now, she had truly thought she was going to die.

And now...

From the terror of being on the brink of death to the sudden daze of release.

Amid the extreme swing in emotion, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently touched the still-warm red marks on her neck.

It was as if some strange trait had awakened.

The wind passed through the treetops, stirring her hair.

A sickly strangeness flickered in Ye Lingling's eyes as she murmured softly, "...What a strange feeling."
